From a recent road trip to Des Moines....we pulled the '51 out of the garage, rolled down the windows and passed over the paved ways in favor of a dirt road or two.
It's all original. Which means I can barely see over the steering wheel and the three on the tree is still beyond me. But then again, some of the fun is in hearing "clutch!" from the passenger side of the bench as your honey works the gears. ;-)
Marinship
Sausalito, CA
Marinship Corporation was a shipbuilding company of the United States during World War II, created to build the shipping required for the war effort. Founded in 1942, the shipyard built 93 cargo ships and oil tankers, before ending operations 1945.
Hagley is the site of the gunpowder works founded by E. I. du Pont in 1802. This example of early American industry includes restored mills, a workers' community, and the ancestral home and gardens of the du Pont family. The machine shop.
This is my 2" bunny which I used in MM 3 years ago already. I always said I'd give the scooter an artificial light one day. Which I have done now but of course the rules changed so I can't submit it to the group. Please look in comments for the completed version.
A Flickr friend (Hi Ant!) reminded me of the film Quadrophenia and I remembered that two scenes were filmed right next to the building I lived in at the time. I wasn't there (I think) during the actual filming but I remember a later crew talking about the set up of the rain machine for this scene. They always filmed something or other in the area and nobody took much notice. It was a gritty, grimy neighbourhood, perfect for atmospheric films. Sad when they cleared it all up and made it look nice.
There are two scenes which have Jimmy on his scooter (this is where my bunny on HIS scooter came in) on the towpath by the Grand Union Canal, one in the rain and another one where he is harassing a smooching couple. I sort of pulled the two scenes together in the image I couldn't post in MM. It was a lot of fun I must say!. Headlight thanks to a tutorial by Phlearn! I also gave my little rabbit rear view mirrors ! The lights opposite were from a Chinese Take Away so I thought I'd put them in to keep it real and a bit friendlier. The canal was full of shopping trolleys and bikes and sometimes bloated dead animals, so I am surprised to see a barge racing by in the dark.
For the simple image for MM I had to put my rabbit on Blu Tack on a black baking tray in the sink and then I turned the water on. Took a few tries to stop the rabbit from being swept away. Amazingly, the real headlight, which comes on when you press his little tail, is still working! Which makes me happy!!
So, HMM to you! Hope you are having equally much fun today!

"And as soon as I had recognized the taste of the piece of madeleine soaked in her decoction of lime-blossom which my aunt used to give me (...) immediately the old grey house upon the street, where her room was, rose up like a stage set to attach itself to the little pavilion opening on to the garden which had been built out behind it for my parents ; and with the house the town, from morning to night and in all weathers, the Square where I used to be sent before lunch, the streets along which I used to run errands, the country roads we took when it was fine. And (…) in that moment all the flowers in our garden and in M. Swann's park, and the water-lilies on the Vivonne and the good folk of the village and their little dwellings and the parish church and the whole of Combray and its surroundings, taking shape and solidity, sprang into being, town and gardens alike, from my cup of tea."

this old machine was used to produce flesh for food at the Beelitz Heilstätten, intresting stuff we found here
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.
abstract black and white macro photography. That's what I think of...a front loading washing machine
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 !
Have you ever seen the movie "Fury" starring Brad Pitt? Well, this is the leading tank from the cast.
This tank and many others can be found in the Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England. I visited back in June of 2016 and I highly recommend it. As a pacifist, I have to say that I am no supporter or war or violence and I was very much delighted that there was no glorification at this museum, just honest straight hard facts. The exhibits were well displayed and it was easy to get up close with them.
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
ODC-Mechanical
I've made and repaired clothes with this machine for years. It's a great appliance to have.
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.
