GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
In the distant future.
In a land abandoned by man.
Machines wage a continuous war.
Unaware of the futility of their actions.
Did an AMAAAZING photo with Soujiro as 2B and 9S from the game NieR: Automata.
shooting into the show window of the fashion shop in which a rack of sewing machine was set up as interior decoration, with sun light shining directly on the glass i cannot know what did i capture at that time as i cannot see things due to strong reflection but obviously the camera saw things better than me. i really like those sewing machines !
A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of power.
I had the pleasure of shooting The Mystery Machine owned by www.facebook.com/stickerbods I always enjoy photographing unique vehicles and have always been a scooby doo fan since a young lad. Even my wife and son tagged along for the shoot to see it. It's one of those vehicles that you drive past or look at and can't help but smile and wave and take pictures of. As for authenticity it's the best one i've seen. They even have a little Scooby wagon in the back and a giant scooby doo plush to finish it off. To make it better they are planning some chaity events with it as well so it's all for a good cause.
I really enjoyed photographing it and have a bunch of photos I am happy with and will be uploading in good time. It took me a long time to decide which photo I liked bes tto upload, I think this one gives the best perspective.
Enjoy

Landing in San Diego is difficult. SAN is listed as one of the worlds 10 most extreme / difficult airports to land at (depending on which list you find).
You have to fly over this hill (Balboa Park), then get the plane down before you run into the next hill (Point Loma).or before you run off the end of the short runway. So the runway is in this sort of valley, and it can be VERY difficult for pilots at times. It is a very difficult approach because of the steep angle required over the hill. There are no jumbo jets regularly flying in here like at other major airports ie LAX, JFK, DFW.
I love flying aircraft, I love aviation, so therefore, I posted this video. It is really amazing and incredible to get this kind of footage of a plane landing in San Diego.
I previously wrote about how exactly I got this video including some of the difficulty involved. But I decided to be more discreet, to edit out that part, to leave you guessing.
You can imagine the 'powers that be' discourage a lot of looky-loo's from hanging around the approach end of runways.
I suppose a fascination with the machines of transportation has long been a human thing. I remember when I was a kid, I would take my younger brothers by bicycle to the local Hicksville train station to see the mighty train engines up close. That was a regular part of our Sunday routine. First stop was church, then afterwards to the train station, last stop was Baskin-Robins for ice cream.
Church and ice cream make sense. But the train station? Why did we go there? I remember so vividly for some reason the elevated platforms of the Hicksville train station. For some reason it was just an interesting place to hang around for a kid.
I'd say it's about fascination with the machines of transportation.
Trains and Planes. Big fancy machines that move people from point A to point B. But fascinating for some reason in how they do it.
So fascinating I suppose, that I even managed to make a career out of the business. And what form of human transport could be more fascinating that a flight in a hot air balloon? Going only where the wind carries you? No steering, just riding with the wind! What a concept.
So to tie it all together, landing a balloon is difficult, extreme, and fascinating. And it all started out because my father made me take my brothers to church, and for entertainment afterwards we would go check out the trains. Go figure. Like this could really all be tied together, but perhaps.
I did not really have a key point to make with all this. It is just a sort essay on my thoughts as to why I got this video of the plane landing. I hope someone reads this and enjoys it. Maybe I'll get my brothers / sister / mom to read this since they come here sometimes, they might appreciate the references to life growing up and the Hicksville train station
Die Zeche Nachtigall liegt am Eingang des idyllischen Muttentals in Witten. Hier nahm der Ruhrbergbau vor mehr als _I9A8103300 Jahren seinen Anfang. Zunächst trieb man waagerechte Stollen in den Berg, um an das „schwarze Gold“ zu gelangen, anschließend auch senkrechte Schächte.
The Nachtigall colliery is located at the entrance to the idyllic Muttental in Witten. Ruhr mining began here more than 300 years ago. First, horizontal tunnels were driven into the mountain to get to the “black gold”, and then vertical shafts.

The windows are 16th century, but the beautiful and modern-looking church was opened in 1979.

Bucyrus Erie, Model 2570 used for mining coal. The boom is 420 feet long. The maximum load is 800,000 pounds. The total working weight of this machine is about 16 million pounds. Sullivan County, Indiana.
Kokerei Hansa Maschinenhalle
The coking plant began operations in 1928 and was at times one of the largest coking plants in the Ruhr area over the course of its history. It never stood still and covered the incredible needs of numerous steel works that needed the coke to produce pig iron. At peak times, the Hansa coke plant produced up to 5,200 tons of coke daily.

Soundtrack: V.A.C. - "malfunction"
- somehow a "brother-in-spirit" of this one: though (oh well...) I am at least knee-deep into technology of all sorts and kinds, somehow I wonder how it actually works - man controlling machine? This device (an office-building-sized coal excavator) is just, well, sort of a "mountain of steel", making you feel awfully small, pondering what might happen if machines like these actually get out of hands...
There are many, many vending machines in Japan. I think these 11 in a row are the most I saw at one time.

Obviously from a previous summer.
Prospects for macro work THIS summer are greatly diminished I fear. The two gardens where I do most of my insect / flower photography are both out of commission; thank you covid. The historic mansion grounds, originally set to re-open June 1, remain closed and padlocked, with the resurgence of the little virii. Future uncertain.
The city gardens...not fenced or gated, just stand untended. Untilled plots, browning dead weeds...sad. And the word I was given was that no summer workers are going to be hired this year AND volunteers wouldn't be used either. That left a three person crew...and that crew is just too small for this large area.
All of this is subject to change at some point, but for now, my go to macro sites are DON'T GO TO.
