Scale Force
Despite the low water levels when I took this photo last year, Scale Force maintains its dominance.

I'm a huge fan of old industrial architecture, as I'm sure most of us are. Situated in Hamilton's industrial north end is this former Stelco (Steel Company of Canada) scale shack which sat guarding the long-gone Rod Mill No. 2. As far as I can make out, all the former Rod Mill property is now owned and operated by the the Hamilton Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA). I'm not sure why they decided to keep the scale house. There's an area here which feels purpose built for transloading, so it would be reasonable to assume they just wanted a scale here. Despite this, it doesn't look like the building has been used in any capacity for a number of years, despite the massive AC unit on the roof. For a distant photo of the scale shack in better days see here .
In the background the Welland Yard crew TE11 (who ran in Hamilton on Saturdays around this time) spots some Lafarge gons on the aptly named Rod Mill Runaround.
Assuming 1 head= 1 foot this is perfectly scale accurate. (the hulk is about seven heads, the Hulkbuster is 11.)
Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.

Every year, hundreds of climbers inch their way up Devil's Tower, clinging to the vertical cracks in the rock columns with their fingers and toes. From the ground they look like ants against the rock. To see two of them making their way up, use your cursor to look at the noted area, and view large. They're about 600 feet up. Tomorrow I'll have a close-up of the top climber. This was taken from the visitor center.

A cover version of Dave Roberts recent creations.
Can not do justice to the bold color selection he is known for but I wanted to do a roughly Blacktronized version and the other with colors I had on hand.
1:144 scale! It's tiiiiny! It's like a dollhouse for a dollhouse. So cute! Been working on this all last night and today I'm back on it. Breaking my little blonde head.... came with very limited/basic instruction....

Last weekend, my friend Anton Raves came over for a visit, where he shot this close-up video of some of my construction vehicles. Something seems to have gone wrong with my Kuiphuis crane, though.
my daughter collects bones, and other objects from recently "deceased" animals
she delighted in showing me this collected snakeskin--thinking it would "freaK" me out. The theme for FlickrFriday was "SCALES" so of course I took a photo!
this was one of a few photos that I took, but not the one I submitted
A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so i can save more fishes.

An HO scale model GS-4 Locomotive provides a graphic comparison of 3.5mm to the foot railroading vs. 12" to the foot scale. The young gentleman who owned that little Daylight was a participant in this October, 2018 Lerro Productions photo shoot. My understanding is that he's a long-time railfan, and 4449 has always been his favorite locomotive. The HO scale model was given to him as a gift by his girlfriend. On this day, he was seeing the real thing for the very first time. As dusk approached, he used that 12" to the foot model as a back-drop to propose to his girlfriend, with Pete Lerro there to record photos of her response.....which was a pretty emphatic YES! It was a pretty good day for this particular Daylight fan.
