A scale test car makes an interesting end to a transfer run seen at the Kingshighway overpass in STL.
I liked these scales that were on a small alley in Siena. Lots of people will be looking at these after the festive season (me included!).

My first visit to the Angel of the North which wasn't planned but as I was passing I just thought 'why not'. I arrived too early for a sunset and couldn't hang around for long but I plan to re-visit at sunset so I can catch a good sky.
Apart from being a great piece of art it is a major piece of engineering.

Clagett Farm has a few of these funny dry goods-store-on-the-prairie style scales. They're so charming!
With all bins in my HO Scale elevator scene placed. It's time for some weathering and landscaping. The last step will be to add the guy wires. With me being a thick fingered bastard those fragile parts will be last
Un paesino che assomiglia ad un Presepe, tutto in salita, tutto vicoli e con la gran parte delle case, piccole, su più piani e per fondamenta, la nuda roccia.

Κατάκολο - Pyrgos (Greece).
ENGLISH
Katakolo (Greek: Κατάκολο; before the 1970s: Κατάκολον or Katakolon) is a seaside town in western Ilia in the municipality of Pyrgos. Katakolo is part of the municipality of Pyrgos (Ilia). It is located south of Patras and Dounaiika, 12 km off downtown Pyrgos, west of Olympia and northwest of Messenia. The town centre is within a gulf overlooking the Ionian Sea and dividing the Kyparissian Gulf from the rest of the Ionian.
It has a small port which is the main port of Pyrgos, a school, restaurants, a church and a town square. Most impressive is surely the visit to the Municipal Museum of Ancient Greek Technology which holds 150 operating reconstructions of mechanisms and inventions of the ancient Greeks covering the period from 2000 B.C. to 100 A.D. A railway called the Katakolo-Pyrgos line goes to Katakolo. Small hills with forests surround Katakolo. Katakolo is situated on a peninsula and has a lighthouse founded southwest. The Lighthouse Katakolo (Faros Katakolo) was first opened in 1865. The port is also a frequent stop for cruise ships on tours of the Ionian and Mediterranean seas, offering an opportunity for passengers to visit the site of Ancient Olympia. Consequently, many of the shops in the town centre are geared toward foreign tourists. The other main industries includes agriculture and services.

CASTELLANO
Katákolo (en griego Κατάκολο o Κατάκωλο) es una localidad costera de la prefectura de Élide, periferia de Grecia Occidental (Grecia). Actualmente es pedanía de Pirgos, ciudad a la que sirve de puerto. Su población censada en 2001 era de 601 habitantes.
En las cercanías de la localidad se situó el asentamiento de Feiá, cuyo puerto cobró gran importante durante la Guerra del Peloponeso. Dicho asentamiento quedó destruido en el siglo IV y desapareció bajo las aguas en el siglo VI a causa de un terremoto. Ya en época medieval la zona fue ocupada por los francos, que construyeron el castillo de Pontikókastro sobre la acrópolis de Feiá, cuyos restos se hallan actualmente 5 m bajo las aguas.
Katákolo está conectado con Pirgos mediante carretera pavimentada y vía férrea. Su puerto, que sirve a dicha ciudad, cuenta con Autoridad Portuaria y Aduana. Es una parada frecuente de los cruceros que operan entre el mar Jónico y el mar Mediterráneo, ofreciendo la posibilidad de visitar la antigua Olimpia.

Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.

ODC - Scale
just look at her, she doesn't like to be scaled
Thank you for your comments and nice words, I'm very appreciate this:-)
It said 78 kilo when I stepped on the scale. I took a few more photos in the cafe which also looks like a museum and I will post those tomorrow.
In my faculty they teach architecture and engineering. Architecture students use to make scale models. Unless the models were really good, They don't use to take them back to home because sometimes they are too large for going into the bus, and students found their "not so good" models useless when the semester ends. that's why most of those models end up in the trash. I asked a friend if I could keep this one and he said: "Of course!". Look at it carefully and you will notice that is not so perfectly made, but thanks to this scale model I could make this photo story:
This is a close up of a pinecone, but the arrangement of the bristles look somewhat like the scales of a pangolin (a close relative of the anteater).
