Couldn't decide which of these three. Let me know what you think.

Found som old sound measuring equipment collecting dust. Explored 2023-10-07

This is Hungerford bridge (at right) and Golden Jubilee Bridge (to the left) in central London.

Found at a local antique store - $26 USD. Came with camera case, matched lens hood, 3 filters and a leather accessory case. A great deal. Not a prime piece, however. Some corrosion, loose body covering, and some minor dings and dents. No matter, a few things I can mend, others will just have to be ignored. I have always admired/laughed at the odd shutter winding plunger engineering. Feels like I'm setting off dynamite with every shot.

Architects James Gowan and James Stirling. My new favourite building (for the moment)! Great reflections in the recently renovated engineering block roof glazing. The slightly blotchy effect is due to the translucent fibreglass infill to the glazing units, all to match the original installation.

1.26 was an installation by Janet Echelman at the Signal Festival in Prague. The festival as a whole was really impressive and a great way to see the city in a new light (pun intended...). With this picture there was a fairly boring foreground from where I had set up my camera, so I waited for a tram to pass and had a relatively long exposure in order to make the pic a bit more interesting. This is one of my favourite photos from 2015.

 

A description of the installation taken from the festival website is as follows:

 

This spectacular seven-meter installation by American artist Janet Echelman creates an expansive net that floats in an ethereal manner over the heads of the viewer. This combination of monumental forms with apparently light materials creates an unconventional conceptual canvas for a play of light created by variable waves of contrasting colours.

 

The concept of the work is inspired by the interconnectedness of terrestrial phenomena and systems. The artist used data from NASA laboratories (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the USA) and NOAA (the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) related to the effects of the 2010 earthquake in Chile, which caused the shortening of Earth days by 1.26 microseconds. The shape of the net is defined by the various heights of Tsunami waves across the ocean.

Visually and conceptually this engaging installation invites not only festival visitors but passing pedestrians to pause and contemplate.

 

American artist Janet Echelman excels in all categories and definitions. Her unique sculptures and installations on a monumental scale change depending on the effects of wind, water or light. Echelman became inspired in India by the lives of local fishermen, and she began using unusual materials for her installations, such as fishing nets. In her work, she combines traditional crafts with the latest technology, and she cooperates with experts from various fields, ranging from aviation engineering to rural architecture and light design.

 

She has been awarded several times for her work by the professional public. She earned the prestigious Guggenheim and Fulbright scholarship as well as several other important prizes and recognitions, in recent years, for example, from the Smithsonian Institute, the Society of Architects in Boston and the Aspen Institute.

I have worked in and around engineering for more years than I care to remember. It still continues to amaze me what can be made from a lump of raw metal.

UP Engineering Special, running under Symbol PJCPR2 crosses over the Meramec River in Sherman, MO running on Track 1 of the UP Jefferson City Sub near MP 24 on June 14, 2018.

 

My day had started with dropping my youngest daughter at Vashon High School to take the ACT. I figured I'd bop over to Luther and see what showed up, maybe head over to Venice or Madison for a bit. Word came along about this Special being called out of Jefferson City and already to Gasconade by the time word got to me. I hopped on 70, zoomed through downtown STL, then blasted out I-44 to get to the best EB shot I could think of in the area. The trip took about 45 minutes and I got the Sherman with about 15 min to spare. Quite the haul for what would turn out to be the only decent catch I got of it.

Engineering work was taking place between Harrogate and Leeds on 21st June 2020. Here, Colas class 70/8 no. 70810 heads a ballast train, the 14.08 from Doncaster Belmont to Harrogate, entering the single line section at Poppleton.

Here are two shots of the UP 8014 leading the PPTMV2 5 through Topeka this morning. It was an awfully convenient day for one of my classes to be off on a field trip, as I saw this thing hopping onto the Kansas Sub just as I was crossing the river myself.

To boldly go where no "fan" has gone before... you need a good warp and of course a clean and well maintained engineering room. So here's Scotty's kingdom where everything is possible even fixing the core with an old spoon ;D

Blue On Black?

 

I've taken a few pics of my bike since I've had it. Unfortunately I felt like none them captured it in a way where its beauty can truely be appriciated. Nothing like a little mechine glamour every now and then.

Spider engineering has always been fascinating, but never more so for me than since I saw the photos I took below. These showed me what was too fast to see in the field.

 

This was a corner of a large web, and look at that bracing and strengthening. And see the brace across a corner.

 

Not to mention the beauty and balance of a web.

 

The refractions of my house are a distraction, although they where what I originally aimed my lens at, and do act as symbolic eyes.

 

Best On Black

A lot of calculations, material, work and effort is involved in creating something like this. 10.000 times, 100.000 wagons can cross this for 100 years. People are awesome.

I captured a series of the shack, nearby statuary and here is the shed and house more oddities. I am looking at Longmont housing but did find the only affordable housing in Logmont and yet this is in pain sight. I don't know if this is listed by the Longmont Housing Authority. This is one of the captures I snapped of a used up place in the city limits. I'll have to patch the roof when I move here. I really admire the roofing. Several original shingles remain on the shack but especially like the green sheet petroleum roofing on the shed, hereafter referred to as assfault. Which would fire up quicker, the petroleum or the wood pulp? I'd have thought that any eave overhang might have been helpful. Stacks upon shacks with holes everywhere.

 

I remember that I took a course in school on timber engineering. The remember that the assigned book was the TECO (Timber Engineering Company) manual. I don't remember any examples of this sort of timber engineering illustrated or discussed in the manual. I do like the texture and patina of aged timber. They did discuss engineering including 2-beam fudging, loading and failure of timber engineered glue-laminated beams also known as glulams. Just for interest, I looked them up in Wiki and found: A 2002 case study comparing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and costs for roof beams found it takes two to three times more energy and six to twelve times more fossil fuels to manufacture steel beams than it does to manufacture glulam beams. Vewy interesting!

 

This is in southwest Longmont but still in town. Fencing was built to keep the cattle from settling into the house and shed. The trees show the green up is just starting. The garbage Siberian elms are starting to bloom and spread seeds everywhere people don't realize that they need killing as soon as they show. On the other hand, the exceptionally weak trees can be admired as they grow and drop limbs, taking out the odd roof. Longmont has a Siberian elm statute but it's far from adequate. Although I was still in town, I still scenes to shoot.

 

It disappoints me that the owner let his property become so very shabby. Surely some upkeep is called for on the place! I'm sure that the roof can still be patched; I don't see anything growing through it yet. Ahhh, a bit of work and it would be a cozy spot with great access to local shopping.

  

Someone noted that I've posted too many 'real' camera shots in a row, so here's a bit of phone again :)
