This was the view of Chrome Hill as I had successfully descended the most treacherous bit of the Parkhouse ridge (mainly on my derriere). My Scarpa Manta boots had a coating of sticky mud on their Vibram soles, which meant staying upright on the slippy limestone quite impossible. There wasn't enough snow and ice for crampons, so I have now ordered some micro-spikes for situations like this in the future.
It was strange to see the Peak District's "Dragon Back Ridge" coated by snow and ice on the North faces, with the South sides being cleared by days of winter sun. I think the effect accentuates the shape of this wonderful reef feature. Hence the pun on "winter chrome-plating"!
It was quite an exhilarating little trek, in fact I found the Parkhouse descent quite embarrassing, having scaled many a peak in the Alps, I have never before had to slither around like a geriatric sloth on a descent from a hill. I'm just glad there were no others around to watch it!
You can see from this shot and another I will post at some point, how exposed this little ridge is. You certainly get a lot of excitement from this Hill and the view of Chrome is just great from here.
It looks as if this machine comes from the early industrial era. Clearly electro plating was an important process needed in the railway workshops. This photograph is designed to reflect the grunge and grime of the period.
A gold plated RCA jack (phono jack). The gold plating provides corrosion resistance for a more reliable connection; its look is just an added benefit.

Standing on the shoreline watching the Sospan Dau dredger pump out shingle onto the beach for building up sea defences.
This is part of the Eastbourne Beach Management works. Shingle is constantly being moved from West to East by waves along the seafront. This is known as longshore drift. The shingle acts as a flood defence for Eastbourne, so the lost material neds to be replaced or recycled (moving material from East to West).
New shingle comes from a licensed area of the Owres Bank near the Isle of Wight, where it is sucked from the seabed by the dredger.
A total of 8,000m3 of shingle will be delivered and distributed over a 4-6 week period.
The Sospan Dau is a Dutch trailing suction hopper dredger. The name Sospan Dau is Welsh and originates from Sosban Fach and Llanelli's tin plating industry, Sospan being the Welsh for Saucepan and Dau being Welsh for Two as the ship is a successor to the original Sospan.
There were several early built hotrods at the show, and all were built in the 1950's - 1960's, and this spectacular 1932 Ford highboy was one of them. It is probably one of the classiest all steel bodied hotrods I've seen in some time. Done beautifully in complimentary green with red wheels, and a red leather interior, and a touch of chrome plating. The fit and finish was pure perfection, and I hope my photos here will show that!

Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway 5 Hercules stands in the platform at New Romney working the 11:15 service from Hythe, 17th August 2018.
Locomotive History
Hercules is a 15 inch gauge 4-8-2 locomotive built in 1927 by Davey Paxman & Co. and is one of a class of two locomotives originally built for freight traffic (ballast) on the railway. During World War II it was the engine normally used with the armoured train with its boiler and cylinders protected by armour plating.
Plating Geranium backs. I was culling the dead and wilted leaves and thought these were beautiful. If you buy the scented varieties they would be totally edible!

Copper mining can be done by dissolving the copper ore and then running the slurry over shredded scrap metal with an electric current present. The copper will drop out of solution and plate the scrap metal.
This scrap metal was left behind at a closed copper mine in eastern Utah.
Plating up at the Madklubben dinner at Cail Bruich Restaurant in Glasgow on Monday evening. I am constantly amazed how so many people can work so well together in such a small space - Team work at its best!

Serving up the meat (there was a variety by the way) during Saturday night’s meat lovers delight at Locavore to Go in Ubud, Bali … seriously nice food with great service at a great price. All the meat is from their butchery right next door.

one from last years visit to Chester zoo. I planned a series of abstract close ups; in my head I saw Giraffes, Zebras, Tigers etc, etc... but the Rhino's were the only ones willing to play ball :-)

This is just a compost bowl. It looks like some fancy dessert, some bougie preparation plating, but it's just an espresso puck, some strawberry guts, and radish roots.
The Laplace Class was designed as a support ship to supplement larger ships in battle.
After the construction of the Copernicus Class Missile Frigate, the UNE contracted with Centra-Circa Industrial and Co. a second time, making CCIC the official contractor of the Earthen Government. CCIC agreed to stop all production of commercial vessels to focus on creating the future lineage of the United Nations of Earth Navy.
Although ships belonging to the Laplace Class were only designed as support ships, their relatively superior design would set a standard among ships of each fleet. CCIC would later revisit the Copernicus Class Missile Frigate as well as the Savior Class Battleship lines to include all of the successes of the Laplace. CCIC would also create the Ptolemy Class Destroyer Line as well as a top clearance project concerning bubble drives capable of entering and exiting FTL state at relative will.
The Laplace in particular, however, was a turning point in Earth naval capabilities from using anything they could strap guns on to a standard in Earthen warfare. Each Laplace is constructed with three independently moving frames; the endo-frame, intermediate-frame, and the exo-frame. The three frames are connected by shock adsorbing springs, combined carefully placed tuned mass dampeners to reduce inertia, recoil, and enemy fire. Laplace Class vessels were also the first to rely on a glass, steel, and carbon alloy for structural purposes, since the GSC alloy is malleable during manufacture and then solidifies with the durability of glass as well as the strength and heat resistance that carbon adds. The armor plating is a top clearance blend of GSC alloy with layers of a polymer mesh to expand and fill gaps in the GSC alloy created from enemy fire. Most ships of the class have twelve to sixteen medium barrel coil guns.
