This is my collection of measuring spoons, I don't use all of them though.
Measuring 230 feet to the peak of the dome, the interior of St. Nicholas Church in Prague is one of the most stunning examples of Baroque style churches we have seen in all of Europe.
Described as the greatest example of Prague Baroque architecture, St. Nicholas Church (found in the Lesser Quarter) was built over 50 years by Christoph Dientzenhofer, his son Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and finally finished by Kilian's son-in-law Anselmo Lurago. Consecrated in 1752, the church and dome are an impressive part of Prague's landscape and history. Mozart played music on the church's organ in 1787 and concerts continue to echo throughout the church with amazing acoustics. Because of the height of the dome, it was used as a fire warning system for the city of Prague until 1891 and more recently used as an observation tower by the Communist regime's secret police.

Macro Monday's challenge of "side lit" created opportunities for me to try something "different" (for me, at least).
The Welsh Marches Line is a rather splendid place to visit, even though freight on the line isn't what it used to be. The portion I roamed today is set in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, which never disappoints, regardless of the weather.
This is Cheney Longville, a mere two miles to the north of Craven Arms, with the NMT, running to time, during it's ten hour run from Crewe CS to Derby RTC.
Pulling up before the bridge, I got out of the car and walked towards it to scope out the shot, where upon casually checking RTT, I discovered that the train was imminent. With panic mode engaged, I legged it back to the car, at full speed, opened the boot, grabbed my camera and started back to the bridge at a speedy rate. At a point where I'm equidistant between the car and bridge, a horn sounds, and now, well, I have an unfortunate expression etched right across my face, which then turns to relief as a Dog Box roles underneath my feet! So by now I'm thinking it best to set the exposures, and work out the shot. Luckily for me, the peg is set to cover entrance to the block, which is when the NMT roles up. The rest is history, as they say.
My gratitude to Jim Knight, for the phone calls, and patiently explaining where to go, and how to get there.

TRAPPIST-1 b lacked atmosphere. TRAPPIST-1 c? Much the same.
Though thought to be similar to Venus both in size and amount of radiation from its star, Webb found that TRAPPIST-1 c lacks Venus’s thick carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. If there is an atmosphere, it’s very thin.
A refresher: TRAPPIST-1 c is the second planet from its star, the M dwarf TRAPPIST-1. M dwarf stars are intriguing because they are 10 times as common and two times more likely to have rocky planets than stars like our Sun. TRAPPIST-1 has seven!
Young M dwarf stars are energetic, emitting X-ray and UV radiation that can strip young planetary atmospheres away. It’s unknown if systems like these had enough water, carbon dioxide, or other ingredients to make atmospheres when the planets formed.
Webb is so sensitive that it can search for elements and molecules like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres. The mystery remains — can planets orbiting small M dwarfs sustain the atmospheres needed to support life as we know it?

This image: This light curve shows the change in brightness of the TRAPPIST-1 system as the second planet, TRAPPIST-1 c, moves behind the star. This phenomenon is known as a secondary eclipse. Astronomers used Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to measure the brightness of mid-infrared light. When the planet is beside the star, the light emitted by both the star and the dayside of the planet reach the telescope, and the system appears brighter. When the planet is behind the star, the light emitted by the planet is blocked and only the starlight reaches the telescope, causing the apparent brightness to decrease.

Image description: Infographic titled “Rocky Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c Secondary Eclipse Light Curve, MIRI Time-Series Photometry (F1500W).” At the top of the infographic is a diagram showing a planet moving behind its star (a secondary eclipse). Below the diagram is a graph showing the change in brightness of 15-micron light emitted by the star-planet system over the course of nearly 2 hours. The diagram and graph are aligned vertically to show the relationship between the geometry of the star-planet system as the planet orbits, and the measurements on the graph. The infographic shows that the brightness of the system decreases slightly as the planet moves behind the star.

A depth indicator at the ford in Brockenhurst, New Forest, UK where The River Lymington crosses a road.
Presently it shows the water being a couple of inches (about 5cm) deep. Were the water ever to reach the four feet (about 1.2m) shown on the post, the town would be devastated.
The photo was taken as shown while on holiday in the area. It was converted to monochrome during processing with grain and texture added to reflect this traditional British scene.
“You can't measure time by days, the way you measure money by dollars and cents, because dollars are all the same while every day is different and maybe every hour as well.”
―(Jorge Luis Borges)―
"...no se puede medir el tiempo por días, como el dinero por centavos o pesos, porque los pesos son iguales y cada día es distinto y tal vez cada hora."

This is the old water meter. It was once measuring instrument and now has seen better days! I was taking photos of this crumbling house for the 116 theme "rough" when I realized i still need "measuring instrument". Don't know if I'm going to finish this year, not much time left!
#85 Measuring instrument for 116 pictures in 2016
I was going to post this when I built it IRL, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
P&Q:
Classified, losers.
I have a long day ahead. If I can get to noon with out crying, I am going to consider it a good day.

The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is native to North America and is one of the most familiar butterflies in the eastern two thirds of the United States. It ranges from extreme southern Canada around the Great Lakes and southern Vermont south to Florida west to eastern Texas and the Great Plains. It is common throughout its range, although it's rarer in southern Florida and absent from the Florida Keys. It flies from spring to fall, during which it produces two broods in the north and three in the south.
Common habitats for the Eastern Tiger include woodlands, fields, rivers, creeks, roadsides, and gardens. It will stray into urban parks and city yards
Adult butterflies use a wide range of food sources, most preferring to nectar on sturdy plants with red or pink flowers. Many members of the families Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, and Fabaceae are used as common nectar sources.
The Eastern Tiger has a wing span measuring 3 - 5.5 inches (7.5 - 12.5 cm) with females being larger and southern individuals being typically larger than northern ones. The male is yellow with four black "tiger stripes" on each forewing while females may be either yellow or black, making them dimorphic. The yellow morph, or form female, is similar to the male, while the dark form is almost completely black.
Eastern Tiger Swallowtails are diurnal, and are usually solitary. Adults are known to fly high above the ground, usually seen above the tree canopy. Males seek females by patrolling habitats containing the larval host plants. During courtship, the male and female fly about each other prior to landing and mating. The male releases perfume-like pheromones during courtship to entice the female into mating.

The dunnock, a quiet and plain sparrow sized bird measures 13–15 cm in length. It’s also known as the hedge sparrow but it’s not actually a member of the sparrow family , but is instead a member of the family of birds called accentors. It possesses a streaked back, resembling a small house sparrow with a distinctive pattern around the eye. The dunnock has a drab appearance which may have evolved to avoid predation. It is brownish underneath, and has a fine pointed bill. Adults have a grey head, and both sexes are similarly coloured. The dunnock is described by its name which derives from the Old English word for ‘little brown’.

I've messed around with various methods of measuring fork rake. I'm really liking this one. It seems accurate and repeatable. The pics don't show it but I tried it on two different forks, and I measured them with the rake going to my right (as shown) as well as to my left. All the measurements were very close.
The fork shown was designed to have 66mm of rake, but it's 67.5. The other fork was supposed to be 45, but it's 43.
I'm disappointed that the errors are in opposite directions, because it means that I can't blame the calibration of my jig... What can I blame?
