Flickr Friday: Time Machine
"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."
Marcel Proust
In Search of Lost Time
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.
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 !

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.
This weekend I made a new cotton canvas cover for my trusty sewing machine and added an embroidered felt birdie to keep me company.

i have no idea why we were in that spot during the time, i forgot. but still, each moment where we're waiting, like this one, is worth a few shots.
i had to remove that terrible restroom sign above his head, otherwise the image was simply not showable.
Church of St Joan of Arc, Rouen, France.
The windows are 16th century, but the beautiful and modern-looking church was opened in 1979.

A building full of time machines capable of taking you to past, present and future. Berkeley Public Library, Berkeley California.
Male Southern Hawker Dragonfly (Aeshna Cyanea).
The more time I've spent photographing these intriguing creatures this summer the more my affection has grown for them and vice versa it seems. This inquisitive fellah landed on my leg twice and then decided to land in my lens hood, literally in my lens hood! Sadly no pictures I'm afraid as his visits were far too brief but it did make me smile nonetheless.
I've got a quite a few more 'head on' shots of these guys in flight but I thought I'd show a different side to them today with a couple more images of them in flight also included below.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make & I hope you're not too bored of dragonflies!
Handheld macro, manual focus.

The wind was blowing and the door of this abandoned house was randomly moving through the gusts. I waited and clicked. It was like another time period appeared from the inside.
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...
