A nice example of the fast 80s saloon, the Alfa 75, with the classic Alfa Romeo twin cam, 4 cylinder Twin Spark engine, with 2 sparkplugs per cylinder, an engine that was in production for many years, and was a popular alternative, for the ones, who could not afford, or did not have the need, for the legendary Alfa V6 engine :)

just off the eastern shore of the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York; built in 1883. The Tappen Zee Bridge over the Hudson River is in the background.
Located just off of Kent Island in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.
An early Sparkplug style lighthouse built in 1882 is now privately owned and in desperate need of repair. Damaged in 1960 due to a fire, it was automated in 1961.
It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away.

Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in South Portland, Maine, that marks a dangerous obstruction on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbor.
Spring Point Ledge Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in South Portland, Maine that marks a dangerous obstruction on the west side of the main shipping channel into Portland Harbor.
The lighthouse was constructed in 1897 by the government after seven steamship companies stated that many of their vessels ran aground on Spring Point Ledge. Congress initially allocated $20,000 to its construction, although the total cost of the tower ended up being $45,000 due to problems with storms and poor quality cement. The lighthouse featured a fog bell that sounded twice every 12 seconds, and a lantern fitted with a fifth order Fresnel lens first lit by Keeper William A. Lane on May 24, 1897.
Improvements were made to the lighthouse throughout the 20th century. It was electrified in 1934, and in 1951, a 900-foot breakwater made from 50,000 short tons (45,000 t) of granite was constructed in order to connect the lighthouse to the mainland. The lighthouse was originally owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard. However, on April 28, 1998, the Maine Lights Selection Committee approved a transfer of ownership of the tower to the Spring Point Ledge Light Trust, with the USCG retaining only the light and fog signal. On May 22, 1999, Spring Point Ledge Light was opened to the public for the first time in its history. It is a popular spot on any summer day for families to picnic and boat-watch on the breakwater or for fisherman to spend an afternoon catching fish. Adjacent to the lighthouse, visitors may also tour the old Fort Preble, the Southern Maine Community College Campus, and visit a small gift shop.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Spring Point Ledge Light Station on January 21, 1988.
Thanks Stefan for always reminding on where the enclaves of beauty can be found in Singapore. I've had my eye on this place for a while but never got round to it.. This was a blend of 9 photographs of the same scene - 4 for the light show, 3 for the traffic trails, 1 for the building details and 1 for the long cloud movement. I would have added more lights but the clouds kind of made it difficult when they were at that region.

Okay then, IF your Central A/C unit does not seem to be working as it should be working. Do not punch the thermostat. Thermostats are kind of sensitive. Tonya is sometimes an emotional sparkplug.

Pictures of the Robbins Reef Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The Robbins Reef Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1883 (replacing a light that was built in 1839). It is very close to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
Decided to change out the spark plugs on my outboard for the pontoon boat this weekend. I liked the contrast of the clean one against the dirty. It wasn't until after I took it that I noticed the progression of grunge...
Mrs. Z shoots a pretty decent pic in Walsenburg, Colorado. This is from her little P&S Nikon. We were very lucky as they are getting ready to re-stucco this place covering the ghosts. There are more down the side.
From the list of vehicles this must be late fifties to early sixties at the latest. It includes feeler gauges and a spark plug gap setting tool along with a guide to judging the condition of the spark plugs.
Last February (2014), I had one of the most fun birthday celebrations I've ever had, at Kelush's Lounge on N. Dort Hwy. (at Davison Rd.).
Chip and Melody took care such great care of us, and we ordered pizzas to be delivered from Luigi's / El Toro just up Davison Rd.
We had dollars for the jukebox, put up decorations and a few disco lights, shot a little pool, and had such great conversations around the four tables in there.
This year, we moved the party to Luigi's Restaurant since many of us have families and kids and it can be tricky to get a sitter sometimes.
I was hoping to see Chip before getting back on the road for Chicago, but the timing was off.

This "sparkplug" or "wedding cake" type lighthouse was built in 1890 and lies in the channel between the U.S. and Campobello Island Canada. The light consists of a cylindrical iron caisson 33 feet in diameter with a 5 level lighthouse on top. The caisson was attached to the channel floor by driving 185 spruce pilings into the sea bed, some to a depth of 69 feet, and then filling the caisson with concrete. The keeper's were housed in the 2 lowest floors with the 5th order Fresnel lens at the top. The lighthouse was automated and destaffed in 1939. A new canopy, which the birds enjoy, and new windows were added in 1992. The U.S. Coast Guard recently tried to sell the lighthouse to any non-profit organization willing to maintain it, but this was unsuccessful and the lighthouse was sold to a private owner in 2007.
The photo was taken from the nearest road, about a half mile from the lighthouse.
Last night's sunset was apparently amazing...I say apparently because I missed it, when I got outside I saw the remnants of the pink glow. I just watched it until it faded even more. But a few minutes later I was out shooting it, using a long exposure to capture the faint pink light. This was taken an hour after sunset, imagine what it might have been like during sunset!

Tarrytown Light, also known as Kingsland Point Light and Sleepy Hollow Light, is a sparkplug lighthouse on the east side of the Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, New York, United States. It a conical steel structure erected in the 1880s. In 1979 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Spark plug camera man, a gift from Sarah. It was built by someone working through Rajana, an organization that provides opportunities for young Cambodians to create crafts and sell them for a fair value.

Goodwood Revival 2017
A wonderful weekend of classic cars, racing, rain, and more Fiat 500’s than you can shake a stick at. Classic photo opportunities everywhere!
Something different from my normal pictures.
Ford decided to ditch the engine cover on the 1.6 MK II Focus. Thusly making it possible for water to drip down the poorly designed windscreen washer onto the engine. Which some very bright person decided to design like a bathtub without a drain. This enables heavy rain to drown the sparkplugs in about one litre of water.
Since it is practically a Volvo engine some parts still fit and I got the Volvo engine cover (30650468) and screwed it in place. I whish I had known about that before the damage was done... well could have been worse, some people needed a new engine, my focus just new sparkplugs, cables and a drying.

The need for a lighthouse to warn ships away from the shoals near the common route off Tarrytown and Ossining had been obvious by the mid-19th century. But high land values at two favored locations led the federal government to instead build it a half-mile (1 km) offshore. It was the only family station on the lower Hudson, the only conical steel lighthouse on the Hudson to have living quarters within it rather than attached, and the only lighthouse in Westchester County. It remained in use until the mid-20th century; the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge on the shoals where it stood, and the development of the General Motors Tarrytown Truck Assembly plant on land reclaimed from the river to its east, made the light obsolete. Today it is part of a county park, and tours are available.

Stranger 52/100 - Sparkplug
Our next stranger is a fire-breathing clown who was uptown getting a permit from the fire marshal for an upcoming show.
Meet Sparkplug.
“I’ve been performing with fire for five years. I’ve been a third generation sideshow performer most of my life. I’m 37… it’s safe to say I’ve been entertaining for at least 27 years.”
What advice would you give to your younger self? “I would remind my younger self to be patient. My impatience caused a lot of my own frustration. If I would have just sat back and enjoyed the time as it passed, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more. In my older age I have learned to kind of shut my mouth but open my ears a little more. Someone told me ‘To show patience is to move gracefully through time’.”
What is your biggest challenge? “I am my own worst enemy, you know. I’ve just kind of got to remind my self to just kind of chill out and relax. I’m a clown, but sometimes I take myself too seriously. Sometimes I take everything too seriously.”
What do you think is the biggest misconception that people have about clowns? “Oh, wow! The biggest misconception about clowns is that we want to steal your kids. Personally, I don’t even like children. I’m not that kind of clown. I do adult parties. With the popularity of Stephen King’s IT and American Horror Story… and there’s a legitimate fear called coulrophobia, which is the fear of clowns. With those things resurging in popular view, it’s kind of put a negative stigma on clowning.”
Where do you want to be in ten years? “In ten years what I would love to do is to have a traveling circus with a cast and crew of people that I trust and love dearly. We can travel around and remind the world how great and entertaining this place can be. Once we have a full run and kind of tire out the tour buses, I’d like to setup a circus school and kind of teach the next generation how to keep this culture alive and how to entertain the masses. That’s the grand scheme. We’ll see how it goes.”
Technical Notes: We were in a bright area with the sun reflecting strongly off a nearby building. I used a reflector to try to even out the light. This is my first portrait with my new 85mm lens.
