This was a rather plain shot close-up shot of the timbers and mortar on the outer wall of an old log cabin. Happy Slider Sunday!

Although Colombo, the de facto capital of Sri Lanka, is provincial compared to Bangkok, Singapore or Delhi, there are always interesting architectural gems to be found. The red lines on this rather low-rise commercial building are reminiscent of conductor tracks. They contrast well with the blue glass. I chose a nearby inconspicuous tower block as the background.

Captured from the forward deck of Sapphire Princess soon after a passing shower, on the first day of a recent cruise from Singapore, Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore, owned by the Las Vegas Sands corporation. At its opening in 2010, it was billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including the land cost.

To the right of frame, The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel. Described by its operators as an observation wheel, it opened in 2008, construction having taken about 2½ years. It carried its first paying passengers on 11 February, opened to the public on 1 March, and was officially opened on 15 April. Wikipedia

Bolivia

"Cholitas", Bolivian women wearing long braids and a bowler hat balanced on his head.

In 1849, upon request of the British army, the Bowler brothers invented a small round felt hat. The aim was to protect the head of gamekeepers from lower branches when they were in the forests of the kingdom. The hat was found in the luggage of British engineers when they went to build the railroad in Bolivia. Legend says that a trader selling at lost to the Bolivian men, proposed those hats to Bolivians women, assuring them that the bowler hat would bring them great fertility. This is how the "Bombín", colonial accessory, has become integrated in the culture of the country.

WOW! Great news... My little film just hit over 2000 views in 10 days... that's phenomenal for showing an art film on YouTube.... Happy Happy...

SleepyOwl says: Oh, yes, the depth of the music layering really complements the depth of your personal revelatory journeying... You are so generous, Mary, to invite us to witness this transmutation of sorrow and painful memories. The video felt like an exorcism viewed through a kaleidoscope with its richness of shapes and colors, and at other moments there was the simple purity of free-fall flight -- into healing... I played the video a bunch of times -- first with the sound only, then with only the images, then integrated. Then on the fourth viewing I was struck with the message of the universality and the complexity and the power and the joy of human sensuality.

A deep image of M 51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, peeping through the integrated flux nebula. I've not noticed this in other images of M 51 before but perhaps I didn't look hard enough? Wise Band 3 IR data of the area shows some of the same structures so it does appear to be real.

We shot this image over the course of a week during April 2018. This image was a real challenge in our light polluted skies (Bortle 5-6) an hour west of Bangkok.

Sharpless 73 (also known as LBN 105), in the constellation Hercules, was mistakenly added to the Sharpless catalog as an emission nebula. It was later realized that because there is no nearby hot star to ionize the gas, it is merely a molecular cloud in space. Lit by the integrated light from the galaxy, it is classified as an integrated flux nebula.

Integrated flux nebulae are very faint, in fact there is no listing for the surface brightness of this object. Picking the nebula out of sky noise (e.g. light pollution at our site) is especially difficult, and was only possible by taking a huge number of exposures using our wide field 300mm f/3.0 telescope array. The nebula was visible for about 3-1/2 hours each of the eight nights we shot. 465 Luminance (5-, 8- and 10-minutes), 174 Red, 172 Green and 173 Blue (all color 2-1/2 minutes Bin2x) subexposures were taken using one FLI ML29052 and two FLI PL16803 CCD cameras cooled to -25C. More than 70 hours of data was collected. The image was processed in PixInsight and Photoshop.

Chevrolet and GMC trucks were of this style for model years 1948-1954. Up through model year 1953, the windshield was a 2-piece design. For 1954, a curved, one-piece design as shown above was integrated. However, the horizontal grille bars were utilized up to 1953. In 1954, the grille included a horizontal and vertical bar set within a perimeter outline similar to crosshairs.

This one has been customized in several ways. For example the headlights have a visor-like extension over the upper half of each lamp. The door handles and other trim have been eliminated.

Fort Pulaski, under construction from 1829 to 1847, was one of a chain of brick coastal fortifications in the eastern United States. On Cockspur Island in the mouth of the Savannah River, it guarded the city of Savannah from water-borne invasion. The main fortification is a five-sided (truncated hexagon) brick structure, with 7½-foot-thick outer walls two tiers high and approximately 350 feet long on each side. Opposite the gorge face is a triangular demilune with sides approximately 400 feet long. The fort and its demilune are separated by, and completely surrounded by, a wet moat approximately 40 feet wide and 7 feet deep (seen in the photograph above). Extending from the fort in all directions over an area of roughly 100 acres is a system of dikes and drainage ditches. All of the above elements were designed and built as an integrated, militarily interdependent unit. All other historic structures on the island are in some way associated with the fort, but were not necessary to its operation as a defensive work. The fort is in excellent condition due to extensive restoration in the 1930's by the National Park Service. Its exterior remains unaltered. The interior was altered only by the installation of electricity, rest room facilities, and removable exhibit cases & storage areas in the gorge wall.

Fort Pulaski is the best preserved and most original of a system of eastern coastal forts designed by the French military engineer Simon Bernard, while in the employ of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Its massive brick walls, backed by heavy piers, and case-mated rooms reflected the continuing search for security against increasingly large caliber smooth-bore cannons of the period. The best military engineering principles, finest joinery, and masonry techniques of the day were used in its construction. Yet the siege and rapid reduction of Fort Pulaski in 1862 by heavy rifled artillery of the Federal Army, which had no precedent at the time, immediately made obsolete all masonry forts everywhere. Most of the construction features and extensive siege damage are still visible, and are interpreted to the visiting public today.

The Fort Pulaski complex was determined to be significant for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on October 15, 1966 in the areas of architecture, engineering, and military history of the United States of America. Although the fort embodies nothing new since Roman times in the way of architectural principles, the craftsmanship exhibited in its construction is outstanding, and it is one of the best surviving examples of North American fort architecture and engineering. It is far more significant in terms of military history. Built as it was, to withstand the heaviest of smooth-bore cannons of the day, the fort quickly fell under the punch of rifled artillery. This successful test siege immediately changed the course of military architecture and history forever.

All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

This was shot during my second visit to Clevedon. A beautiful pier that I planed to photograph for a long time. On my first visit I was very limited in time, so couldn't even set-up my tripod. Finally, I was able to get there on Easter break with plenty of time. Everything was just fine: lovely weather, nice clouds and high tide.

The 4th Generation of Ford’s F pickup trucks spanned model years 1961-66. New for the generation was the ‘integrated pickup’ design in which the bed was welded directly onto the cab. This was intended to save assembly steps in the factory and to replace the ‘Styleside’ bed of the previous generation in which the two parts were mounted separately on the vehicle frame.

However, truck buyers weren’t completely sold on the idea for various reasons having to do with ride and durability of the design. To satisfy potential Ford buyers who wanted the conventional configuration in which the cab and bed weren’t directly attached together, they then offered a combination of a Gen 4 cab mismatched with the Gen 3 box for a couple of model years! By the middle of 1963, Ford finally offered a separate Gen 4 Styleside box that matched the style of the Gen 4 cab.
