I thought it was cool how the inverted horizon in the drop lines up with the actual horizon.

First time using the MIOPS Splash. A little more practice required to get some consistently good drops, but so far happy with the results.
N/S ARB drop link off and the ABS sensor wiring bracket. You can see how I've bent it through 90 degrees. when I bent it back down after re-fitting I slapped some grease on the ground part to keep the moisture out. I'll go back at some later point an hammerite it

I think the old phrase was, "Book 'em Danno." but I could never bring myself to the level of watching that. Not even the original. The Valmont railroad reconditioning yard is along the old UP route to Boulder and the pioneer stage route to Boulder "City," south-west of Longmont along the drive of the same name. I had to work hard to carry this shot off. I wanted to preserve the mecanicals under this car that was unfortunately painted black. That physically meant losing the critical RAW highlights. This whole string of cars sports friction bearings but this was an unusual side-dump gondola. To the left and behind the gondola is a flat in dire need of some decking. Get real! On the other hand, it does point up how much payload is lost to a gondola which would have risen from such a flat car. That lost space was due to the lifting and side opening mechanism required to side dump a load. Not all dumping was accomplished in this manner. In the early days, 99 percenters would be hired at criminal wages to shovel gondolas out. When the Union Pacific built a monster trestle over Dale Creek, it decided to build and use bottom dump cars to drop dirt then ballast on the trestle as a fill, thus eventually eliminating the trestle. Hoppers use a bottom drop technique. By far the strangest was the installation at the D&RGW Salida yard that had both narrow gauge and standard gauge trackage. The route up Monarch Pass switchbacked up narrow gauge trackage to the limestone mine way up. But the limestone had to be transferred to standard gauge lines at Silida for the trip down to the CF&I (Colorado Fuel & Iron) steel plant in Pueblo, Colorado. D&RGW achieved the transfer by taking the entire narrow gauge gondola car, one at a time, on its tracks and rolling the works over into a waiting standard gauge gondola. It was a very strange mechanism at best but performed the task well. I hope I retained some black detail well enough so that you can make it out.
Sono gocce di memoria
queste lacrime nuove
siamo anime in una storia
incancellabile
Le infinte volte che
mi verrai a cercare nelle mie stanze vuote
Inestimabile
è inafferrabile la tua assenza che mi appartiene
Siamo indivisibili
siamo uguali e fragili
e siamo già così lontani ...
Times Square New Years Eve 2011
Each year during the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square in Manhattan New York City a time ball made by Waterford Crystal and electric lights is raised to the top of a pole on the One Times Square building at 6:00 pm and then lowered to mark the coming of the New Year. The ball descends 77 feet (23 m) over the course of a minute coming to rest at the bottom of its pole at midnight, then a sign with the digits of the new year lights up as the ball's lights turn off. Toshiba's Times Square billboard directly below the ball counts down to midnight as well.
Every year up to one million people gather in Times Square to watch the ball drop and an estimated 1 billion watch the video of the event, 100 million of them in the United States.
In 1904 The New York Times opens its new headquarters on Longacre Square (the city's second tallest building) and persuades the city to rename the triangular "square" for the newspaper. Owner Adolph Ochs initiates a massive celebration in the square for New Year's, which is so popular 200,000 came it permanently displaces the celebration from Trinity Church. There is no ball, but there are fireworks.
1907 Walter F. Palmer chief electrician for The Times creates the first New Year’s Eve Ball in response to the behest of publisher Adolph Ochs to create some kind of spectacular midnight show that would draw attention to the Square. The New Year’s Eve Ball first descended from a flagpole at One Times Square constructed with iron and wood materials with 100 25-watt bulbs weighing 700 pounds (320 kg) and measuring 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter. At first it dropped 1 second after midnight.
In 2011 the tradition continues here is a look at Times Square New York City on December 31st 2010 New Years Eve for the big 2011 ball drop celebration.

Making this shot took me just over 4 hours and around 250 attempts. I used a medical i.v. system to control the rhythm and frequency of the falling water drops as much as possible. I used a single SB-700 flash which I handheld on the far right side, with in my other hand a cable release. In post-process I mainly adjusted the color temperature downward to get the blue hue, and I bumped up the contrast a bit.
Strongly recommended to view fullscreen and large on black - Press ' F11' and 'L'
Putting the new drop link on. you can see here how the new design is much more sensible allowing a spanner on the ball joint side while doing up the nyloc nut.
These need doing up to 40Nm
I did the bottom nut up first and then used a bottle jack under the lower wishbone to raise the link to the correct height to fit into the anti roll bar
