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 lone figure stands small and fragile, dwarfed by the towering peaks of the Dolomites. The striking contrast between the human silhouette and the massive mountains highlights the delicate balance between humanity and nature’s immense power.
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....
Halloween, nefarious mastermind Dr Grizzle, a Waxworks Museum and the Chamber of Horrors within - it was only going to end one way... namely with Agent Havoc kicking a whole lotta monster ass and saving the day once again!
A final outing for my Courtyard set for this Halloween. Now sporting the old Sideshow Universal Monsters and my custom Poppy/Made-to-move Barbie Agent Havoc
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

Awe's original design was quite close to the 1:40 scale I build most of my minifig-scale models in, so it worked out great. It's for sure one of the best MiG-21 models in Lego, so go check it out on his photostream!
I was in Austria participating in a crustal scale refraction seismic experiment (ALP) organised by a group of European universities including Birmingham between 8th and 20th September 1975. We were based at a recording station near Graz at the eastern end of the profile but the HQ was in Leoben.
I didn't know much about Austrian railways but I had read about the Erzbergbahn and its tank engines working iron ore trains up and down the Alpine mountains north of Leoben so took time off one day to investigate. Here a Class 97 0-6-2T is on a short train with another on the tail. The lead engine appears to be doing nothing and the banker is blowing off as they climbed the gradient.
Steam finished in 1978 & the Vordernberg Markt – Eisenerz section was closed to traffic by ÖBB in 1988. Today a museum line - the Erzbergbahn Association www.tourismus-leoben.at/en/culture-excursions/worth-seein... - operates railcars on this stretch of the mountain railway. After 400 years of operations the Erzberg iron mountain continues to be mined.
I took this with an old Halina 35X on time-expired film (don't ask why!) so the original wasn't brilliant, not improved by then leaving the film in the camera for about 5 years! I was pleased to find anything had survived when I developed it.
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.
