Per favore, una tazza perfetta. Leave it to the Italians to make a device for perfect stove top coffee. Not as sharp as espresso, it renders a very swift gush of deep flavored Moka. With or without milk, a great pick-me-up. They offer directions on YouTube
This guy is a first for me. I had to "sneak" up on him with my truck. Thankfully, I had included the Star Trek "Cloaking Device" option on my Toyota Tundra. I'm intent on getting an even closer shot of him when I go back to Maine in a few weeks.
Thank you for visiting my Photostream and for your faves and comments.
This display in the National Museum of Scotland is a doomsday device from a Scottish supervillain who used to have a hollowed out base inside the nearby extinct volcano of Arthur's Seat.
Okay, it isn't, it is actually part of the particle accelerator engineering from CERN, used to move particles to almost the speed of light. With the geometrically arranged display of colourful wiring behind it and the large metal sphere shape I thought it looked like a doomsday device from a classic 60s spy movie or comic book.

Atlantikwall Regelbau L487 Bertha - Commando Bunker for Luftwaffe Night-fighter From World War 2 1945.
Bunker L487 is a ww2 German bunker for radio measurement device evaluation for night fighter control "Bertha" in English.
The Bunker L487 communications is 22.10 meters long, 22.90 meters wide and 8.60 meters high and has two floors.
The night fighter (also known as all-weather fighter or all-weather interceptor for a period of time after World War II) is a fighter aircraft adapted for use at night or in other times of bad visibility. Night fighters began to be used in World War I and included types that were specifically modified to operate at night.
During World War II, night fighters were either purpose-built night fighter designs, or more commonly, heavy fighters or light bombers adapted for the mission, often employing radar or other systems for providing some sort of detection capability in low visibility. Many WW II night fighters also included instrument landing systems for landing at night, as turning on the runway lights made runways into an easy target for opposing intruders. Some experiments tested the use of day fighters on night missions, but these tended to work only under very favorable circumstances and were not widely successful.
Avionics systems were greatly miniaturized over time, allowing the addition of radar altimeter, terrain-following radar, improved instrument landing system, microwave landing system, Doppler weather radar, LORAN receivers, GEE, TACAN, inertial navigation system, GPS, and GNSS in aircraft. The addition of greatly improved landing and navigation equipment combined with radar led to the use of the term all-weather fighter or all-weather fighter attack, depending on the aircraft capabilities. The use of the term night fighter gradually faded away as a result of these improvements making the vast majority of fighters capable of night operation.

Possum Kingdom Dam.
This was a scary time as only a couple of flood gates could be opened due to repairs on the others. It was in the middle of a flooding season, full of storms and such. The lake was dangerously high, and the river was very very high. You could look out on the river and only see the tops of trees out there. A small bridge was almost over-topped further down the way. Water was lapping at and sometimes passing briefly through the rails.
Shisen-dō (詩仙堂) is a Buddhist temple of the Sōtō Zen sect in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It is registered as a historic site of Japan. It stands on the grounds of its founder, the Edo period intellectual Ishikawa Jōzan (1583–1672), who established the temple in 1641.
A room in the main temple displays portraits of thirty-six Chinese poets. The selection of the poets was based on the opinion of Hayashi Razan. The portraits were executed by Kanō Tan'yū. This and some other parts of the building date to the time of Ishikawa Jōzan.
The temple's gardens are considered masterworks of Japanese gardens.[1] One of them includes a device called a sōzu, a type of shishi-odoshi designed to scare away wild animals such as deer by making a loud noise. Water trickles into a bamboo tube, and when it reaches a certain level, it upsets the balance of the tube. The tube tips over on a pivot, discharging the water, and turns upright, striking a rock and emitting a loud clapping noise.

A time ball sits above the Octagon Room at the observatory. It was installed in 1833 but is now an obsolete time-signalling device. It consists of a large, painted wooden or metal ball that is dropped at a predetermined time, principally to enable navigators aboard ships offshore to verify the setting of their marine chronometers. Accurate timekeeping is essential to the determination of longitude at sea.
Although the use of time balls has been replaced by electronic time signals, some time balls have remained operational as historical tourist attractions.

A zoetrope is a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.
..........It consists of a cylinder with images from a set of sequenced drawings.
.....As the cylinder spins the user looks and sees a rapid succession of images producing an illusion of motion.
..........The earliest projected moving images were displayed by using a 'magic lantern' zoetrope.
.....It was this principle of the ' Persistence of vision ' that was the forerunner to the earliest Television pictures.
'Device to Root Out Evil' - it's taken me years to get a clear view of this sculpture by Dennis Oppenheim as cars and bikes are often parked around it in Plaza de la Puerta de Santa Catalina. Sometimes called 'The Inverted Church'.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour rests atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft in the Mate-Demate Device MDD at the Ames-Dryden Flight Research Facility—later redesignated the Armstrong Flight Research Center—in Edwards, California, shortly before being ferried back to the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
Endeavour landed at 1:57 p.m. PDT May 16, 1992, marking the completion of the new orbiter's first mission in space, STS-49, during which the crew of seven rendezvoused with the Intelsat VI satellite, attached a booster motor, and redeployed it into a high geosynchronous orbit. Endeavour and its crew were launched on a planned 7-day mission May 7, 1992, but the landing was delayed two days to allow extra time to rescue Intelsat and complete space station assembly techniques originally planned.

I found out that all animals are related to the primal Zodiac so
Mantises have the Sun sign of " Aries " and are born during the Chinese Zodiac´s year of the Snake.
