In an attempt at becoming a more 'high-profile' artist I drew this proliferation of profiles from the top of a ladder!
A Nice Three-Quarters View of the Generator
Just a beauty shot of the 1886 Edison Dynamo. The humongous copper plates attached to the crossbar of the field coils is part of the main disconnector switch, which would have been the point of contact with the distribution line to homes and businesses, 125 years ago.
Engineers and technicians at Edison originally nicknamed this series, "Long-Legged Mary-Ann," but that was quickly Bowdlerized to "Long-Waisted Mary-Ann."
For many years the Westcoast Ostrich Show Ranch has been offering a unique experience to visitors of the Western Cape. Situated only twenty minutes from Cape Town's Waterfront, the Kanigowski family have built up a very popular tourist destination encompassing informative tours with a high quality, great value leather and curio shops and an ostrich meat orientated restaurant. The business is family owned and run, with Gavin and his son, Pawel, on hand to greet visitors. The facilities we offer increase each year, allowing us to welcome more and more tourists, while still offering a friendly professional atmosphere. The farm nestles on the sea facing slopes of the Durbanville hills, which offer magnificent views of Table Mountain and the Hottentots Holland Mountains, an area steeped in local history.
History reveals that ostrich chicks were traded by the original Khoi inhabitants with the Dutch Settlers in 1652 and exported from Cape Town to Batavia (now Indonesia) in 1656. There were also exports to India and the Emperor of Japan in 1658.
The first documented ostrich farm was established in the centre of Cape Town in 1679. The Westcoast Ostrich Ranch has pioneered the revival of ostrich farming in the shadow of Table Mountain (Hoerikwagga).

Sam showing off his profile on our walk today. He is finally starting to drop some of his winter coat, although not evident by looking at the dog, it is by looking at the floor LOL.
And finally, the outboard profile of a very famous little boat:
The PT-109 - eventually commanded by future President John F. Kennedy (the only Catholic president in the history of the U.S.), and eventually sunk, under his command, when cut in two during a collision with the Japanese destroyer Amagiri. JFK would be awarded the Navy & Marine Corps. medal for his actions in protecting the life of his crew immediately after the collision (They had to hide among occupied islands until being rescued).
Interestingly, her hull was made of wood. 2 layers of 1 inch thick mahogany planking.
