The steam yacht Gondola is a rebuilt Victorian, screw-propelled, steam-powered passenger vessel on Coniston Water, England. Originally launched in 1859, she was built for the steamer service carrying passengers from the Furness Railway and from the Coniston Railway. She was in commercial service until 1936 when she was retired, being converted to a houseboat in 1946. In 1979, by now derelict, she was given a new hull, engine, boiler and most of the superstructure. She is back in service as a passenger boat, still powered by steam and now operated by the National Trust.

Gondola is one of the inspirations for Captain Flint's houseboat in Arthur Ransome's book Swallows and Amazons. In Coniston's Ruskin Museum there is a black and white post card of Gondola that Ransome sent to his illustrator, with changes to the outline in ink to show how he wanted the houseboat to look.[1]
In 2018, I refolded my older Stacked Propellers Tessellation design, this time as a complete tessellation rather than a single molecule. Elephant Hide paper, 64×64 grid.

This shot was taken on Nov. 27, 2015 while flying from Berlin to Prague in a Saab 2000 turboprop. I can't believe my camera was able to almost stop the prop.

Heh. I see my royal blue shirt, the black hood of my camera lens, my hands holding my camera, and my dark brown hair but these are barely recognizable.
At the Pasco Air Museum. This is a WWII biplane used to train pilots when this was the 2nd busiest naval aviation training center in the US.
Originally the leading edge of this prop was a smooth casting with a splendid ,smooth paint layer.
After many years of exposure to small particles of dust & grit picked up while taxiing, the leading edge is now stripped of its paint and finely pitted.

Before concluding its mission on 15 September 2017, Cassini captured one last view of a lone ‘propeller’ feature, one of many such small-scale dynamical features created by small moonlets embedded in the rings as they attempt, unsuccessfully, to open gaps in the ring material.
The image was taken on 13 September 2017 with the wide-angle camera at a distance of 676 000 km from Saturn. Image scale 3.7 km. It is among the last images Cassini sent back to Earth.
The Cassini–Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and the Italian Space Agency.
