This old rusted tanker was spotted on a roadside in Wyoming! What ever it hauled is obviously obsolete and no longer deliverable ..but it still has a nice rusty patina!
Happy Truck Thursday!
Seen along the reknowned Kankamangus highway in New Hampshire, this barn is part of a 19th century homestead that most definitely did not enjoy good cellular coverage!

recycled for the December MSH #16: Attention to detail
I wanted to use this not just because this is a detail of an old catalog, but also because the science of cataloging (yes, it is too a science!) is all about attention to detail.
In order to be a good cataloger, you have to have a thorough understanding of the delightfully arcane AACR2r (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules 2nd ed., revised), a subject headings system such as LCSH (5 volumes), and a classification system such as LC or Dewey. You also have to be able to create a MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) record, where one misplaced space or semicolon can cause the record to be lost in the catalog forever, mwahahaha. I think MARC records are fascinating, but then again I am a complete nerd.
You must also have a high tolerance for acronyms.
why you should fall to your knees and worship a librarian
Detail of a card catalog at the Groton Public Library. Lovely, collectible, and obsolete (April scavenger hunt #5)
It is being put to good use:
• Urban decay in Centro Havana, adjacent and between the districts of La Habana Vieja and Vedado in Cuba.
• Désintégration urbaine à Centro Havana, adjacent et entre les quartiers de La Habana Vieja et Vedado à Cuba.
• Decadencia urbana en el Centro Habana, adyacente y entre los barrios de La Habana Vieja y Vedado en Cuba.
For Macro Monday - Contraption.
I was struggling to come up with something for this challenge, then I had to retrieve something from a dark corner of my shed and spotted an old domestic cassette player. Once state of the art, in the 1970's, for home entertainment, now obsolete! This is the drive mechanism, belt driven to make it all work!
Happy Macro Monday!!
I saw this old and weathered fisherman's boat in the clear blue waters at Pachi and the catchy Terminator phrase popped in mind, so I thought it would be appropriate to title my photo with it.
Happy Sliders Sunday everyone and a beautiful, sunny day to all :)))

Kopfhöreranschluss mit parallelgeschaltetem Kondensator in einem Detektorradio (Radio der Anfangszeit), hergestellt von meinem Urgrossvater in den 1920er Jahren. (Bemerkung: Die Kapazitätsangabe in cm beruht auf dem Gaußsche Einheitensystem, welches wiederum zum CGS- Einheitensystem (Zentimeter Gramm Sekunde) gehört. Eine Kapazität von 1cm entspricht 1.2pF).

Headphone terminal with parallel connected capacitor in a detector radio (radio of the early days), made by my great-grandfather in the 1920s. (Note: The capacitance in cm is based on the Gaussian unit system, which in turn belongs to the CGS unit system (centimeter gram second). A capacitance of 1cm corresponds to 1.2pF)
... crazy tuesday ... obsolete ...

Das Tessar ist eine asymmetrische, vierlinsige Objektivkonstruktion, die von Paul Rudolph berechnet und 1902 von der Firma Carl Zeiss patentiert wurde. Aufgrund der für seine Zeit fantastischen Detailschärfe und dem hohen Kontrast bekam es bald den ehrenvollen Beinamen «Adlerauge». Hier ist es zu sehen in der Variante 1:2.8 / 45mm an einer Contessa (ZEISS IKON Stuttgart) aus der späten Phase nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg.

The Tessar is an asymmetrical, four-lens design calculated by Paul Rudolph and patented by the Carl Zeiss company in 1902. Due to the fantastic sharpness of detail and the high contrast for its time, it soon received the honourable nickname "eagle eye". Here it can be seen in the 1:2.8 / 45mm version on a Contessa (ZEISS IKON, Stuttgart) from the late phase after the Second World War.
This is a close up of the lens arrangement of my new (very old) mid 1950s Carl Zeiss Werra 1. It’s a minimalist rangefinder (replete with olive green leatherette) style 35mm camera that I fell in love at first sight with at a local antique shop that seems to have sprung up in a local town.
It may be minimal but it is the most complicated thing to operate ever, and have had to look at so many YouTube videos just to get film into it and shoot a few frames! It seems to wind on but the shutter sounds suspiciously the same no matter what I set it to so it could well be #Outdated or #Knackered
I (eventually) loaded in a 36 exposure film, but with the weather being absolutely atrocious at the moment it may be a while before I find out if it’s a runner or not! It’s the first time ever I’ve had to use a light metre to work out the exposure, even my 1970s Chinon SLR has a rudimentary one built in, luckily there’s an app for that!
Life is full of troubles and passing clouds
but be patient and vigilant …….
for in a moment of time the sun of happiness
will shine with all its splendour
and its rays of wonder and joy
will make all your previous troubles and worries
obsolete scattered in the thin air
like never existed or seen
extinct in the splendour
of the shining sun of your heart!
