The arched casements of Fort Morgan which guards the approaches into Mobile Bay. Construction began after the war of 1812 to protect the gulf ports. Fort Morgan defenders unsuccessfully tried to bar the Union Fleet from entering the bay in 1864 during the Civil War.
Last game of the season, and the kids won again! I love seeing the improvement over a few short weeks.

You see her. You see all of her, but still you want more. You want to feel her. You want to fill up your senses. You want to know her so you can cherish her.You want to enter her most intimate secret.

Watching the rear peddlers, it seemed to epitomize the free rider problem....

The Mobile Exploration Rover, meanwhile, is a fairly simple modification of existing set 60225-1 Rover Testing Drive.
By replacing the gunmetal Mars Mission-style wheels with rubber-tyred ones from two copies of 70821-1 Emmett and Benny's Build & Fix Workshop, and systematically stripping away anachronistic Pearl Gold and Trans-Black parts, I've made a pretty coherent homage to the latter-day "white vehicle" aesthetic first appearing in 1983 but taking center-stage in '87. To that end, it's being driven around by a blue Spacer minifig, which is associated with that era through sets like 6972 Polaris I Space Lab!
It's not a perfect encapsulation of the design sensibilities - especially with the claw arm in orange instead of blue, due to the new clamp-half piece only being available in Bright Orange - but I feel like it doesn't look completely out-of-place amongst those builds. It's definitely super fun to drive it around and have the arm pick up random parts to place in its truck bed, at least!
Two extra 13-long technic beams were requisitioned from my pile of parts in order to mount the wheels the desired width away from the body. I do not know the set these came from, but it would not surprise me if it was a BIONICLE set from the mid-2000's.
This wagon arrived on site complete, as a tanker. The tank was scrapped, and the drawgear removed at one end so the chassis could be used to move heavy castings around. It was slowly pushed along track buried in mud or sand, depending on the weather, by a Jones mobile crane. It often derailed, so the crane came in handy for re-railing it.
By the time I took this picture it was out of use and awaiting it's fate. August 1985
Extreme phone wallpapers made from images of rubbish with a mirror. Free ... use at your own risk.
I had a retro phone until I dropped it. I had that old style phone because I wanted to go on leading my own life, at least a little bit cutoff, when out of the house, from the compartmented hive that the web is fast becoming. Too much of a good thing is destroying the world I once had, and still want to live in.
The new phone my daughter picked for me has "features". I turned off the data but when I'm home - as now - it has wifi so I can transfer things to it if I want to, and call people on LINE like using a free house phone. Remember when everyone had house phones and you had to make a call to them at home? Sorry: some of you won't really remember that convenience.
My shiny new phone has stored images that come up every day with a set of new ones for my distraction. I've had to admit to myself of late that I'm something of an exception. I prefer my own thoughts and humble insights to distractions, but when I do flick through the images. I can't help noticing that most of them are beautiful. They depict fancy young men in slick suits, fancy gleaming cars, big ugly bikes on perfectly good roads in spectacular places and views from roof-top bars at night. That's all advertising. Advertising to stoke the wild consumption that's destroying our planet and must somehow be set aside. In short: with a few exceptions i have no desire to save any of these images for my future.
I looked on flickr for a group collecting more interesting (to me) wallpapers and can't find one. If anyone wants to start one that might be helpful but that still would not give me what I want. Images made from nothing - images of what I might one day see if I learn to look, and images of small things that I would otherwise overlook. In short intriguing food for thought and a store of triggers.
So: I'm making a start on albums of alternative phone images. Clouds, Misc. and this morning mirrored faces, made as I hinted above, from essentially nothing: discarded organic rubbish. www.flickr.com/photos/jacobs_ian/albums/72157711994085621
