I have been searching for some dragon scale fabric for ages for my little mohair dragons. I did see one recently and was in a hurry and didn't buy it - the next week it was gone. On our trip to Forster, we called in at Spotlight in Taree and I found this metallic dragon scale fabric - I love it!!
The Peterbuilt doesn't look so big when compared it to the Galaxy C-5's engines. The Galaxy C-5 is the world's largest military airplane. This one and the ones in the background are in storage at the Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Group, Tuscon, Arizona. At the time I took this picture (2012) there were over four thousand US military aircraft being stored here, and they are all wrapped for protection from the elements. I did some research and this particular airplane (0466) seems to still be there.
I went to so many waterfalls in Iceland that I can't remember the name of this one. The sun was up creating intense contrast - a difficult shot. Pictured here with photographer Steve Bell balanced on a rock to give it a bit of scale
Weights can be evaluated only in comparison. Too much thoughts lately, it will change soon :)
I guess that ferry carries several cars, but it looks like a kids' toy on the picture.

Bornean Keeled Pitviper (Tropidolaemus subannulatus) - Malua Forest Reserve, Malaysia
A T. subannulatus from the Malaysian Rainforest in Borneo. This is probably the most common viper species in Borneo but this individual has a somewhat unusual color atleast when compared to the others which I encountered. This one had more of a blueish tint to its scales which made it a rather strikingly colored snake. By playing around with my lighting I was able to get a shot which really showed off the texture of the scales.
This is part of the front scale from a Remington 12 typewriter, from the early 20th century. The numbers reflect the scale of 10 characters per inch, with each minor tick representing the width of one character - one-tenth of an inch.

This was the first time on this trip I could stop and take all my toys from the car with enough time to enjoy.
I was designated driver at the time, my co-driver happily sleeping as the sun came up on this glorious vista. Took a while to find a safe parking spot so missed the 'Golden time' but hey, I'm not complaining. More to follow.
No stepping outside for me today. I was tempted to take a self-portrait as I feel run-down today for sure, still sick. Anywho--I took this photo (only took 5 shots) of a few of our finds from our vintage adventure on the way home last week. These items may be run-down, forgotten, rickety and neglected but to me they are much loved. So much character and history.

We don't give much notice to the ubiquitous garbage truck, yet without it, life would get pretty interesting within a few days.
In Elgin Park, there was only one such truck, owned by "Pip" Paulson, and he made the rounds tirelessly, 5 days a week.
All of the town's castoffs were taken down by the river, at a place called Bunkie's Landing. This used to be a notorious area for rum running and other nefarious activities, back in the 1920's and '30s, but times had changed and the town's dump was now there.
Back to "Pip" Paulson; he was a valued citizen who performed a very necessary task that kept the town running smoothly. He bought himself a new Buick in 1948, seen here, which he kept in tip top shape and remained his only car until he passed away in 1965.
A hail and hearty Hurrah! for the "sanitary engineers" throughout the world. This photo is dedicated to you.
As for the model...the business end of the garbage truck, in the photo, was handmade, based on an early '50s design. It is constructed of styrene plastic and found objects.
On a different note...

I've posted a mono version of a similar shot years ago, Scales Moor is a flat plateaux of limestone in the Yorkshire Dales. There are a number of Erratics like the one here scattered randomly around.

Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!
