D18033. With the prospect of a war against Nazi Germany becoming more and more likely during the late 1930s, it was decided that a place of safety needed to be found where the Government and military leaders could carry out their vital tasks in the event of an aerial bombardment.
Storage rooms in a London basement under some Government buildings were therefore hastily converted into office and living accommodation where the Prime Minister and his staff could work in safety. These became known as the Cabinet War Rooms and they are now open to the public as a permanent museum and memorial to wartime leader Winston Churchill.
Amongst the many artefacts on display is this German four rotor Enigma cipher machine.

This is not my usual sort of thing to photograph but last September I had trekked to the head of Loch Tarsan to photograph an old croft (the ruins can be seen in the background) and found this old, rusted piece of equipment. I'm assuming that it is an old agriculture machine but I suppose that it could have been left over from the dam construction (Loch Tarsan is formed by a hydro-dam) or maybe forestry uses.
Just to update, school started for me yesterday. I think I'm going to love my Senior year.
By the way, I've been listening to Florence + The Machine so much lately.

A rope making machine at the Scottish Maritime Museum, Irvine.
I shot this to capture the intricate details and textures of this machine. I wanted to illustrate the massive bulk of this old tool.

Thankfully Toronto's municipal government is still well-funded enough that when a major blizzard hits, it's rather quick to send out the massive snowplows to clear the snow off the streets.
The New Holland W130B Tool Carrier snow plough has an articulated body and is much more agile than a truck-bodied snowplow.
(The mixed-use of “snowplow” and “snow plough” is deliberate.)

The Yashica 44 is designed for 127 film but can shoot 135 with a simple mod (hence the sprocket holes).
El yerno y la nieta de una antigua profesora mía en el instituto. Se sentaron a tomar algo en la misma terraza donde estaba yo con mi familia, cuando vi que sacaron la guitarra pensé en la cámara que llevaba en el bolso para seguir probando el objetivo manual y hacerme más a él, y como mi marido me decía que nunca lo iba a tener más fácil pues me anime a preguntarle a mi antigua profesora si le importaba que les hiciera una foto.
No sólo no le importó, sino que además me dijo que los dos forman un grupo musical, su yerno toca y compone y la nieta canta, una voz preciosa por lo que estoy escuchando en la maqueta que tienen en YouTube y de la que os pongo el enlace. El grupo se llama Acoustic Soul Machine, disfrutad de su música :)

The Penguincubator appeared in London in 1937. Conceived by Allen Lane, the founder of Penguin Books, the Penguincubator dispensed classic literature in paperback form for about the same price as a pack of cigarettes.
Sir Allen may have succeeded in changing English reading habits, but the Penguincubator had little to do with it. Specifically, it was never manufactured in sufficient quantity to make an impact on the market.

The Biblio-Mat is a random book dispenser built by Craig Small for The Monkey's Paw, an idiosyncratic antiquarian bookshop in Toronto. Biblio-Mat books, which vary widely in size and subject matter, cost two dollars. The machine was conceived as an artful alternative to the ubiquitous and often ignored discount sidewalk bin. When a customer puts coins into it, the Biblio-Mat dramatically whirrs and vibrates as the machine is set in motion. The ring of an old telephone bell enhances the thrill when the customer's mystery book is delivered with a satisfying clunk into the receptacle below.
