Port Talbot. South Wales. The fire is part of the Banksy artwork that recently appeared on a garage wall. The main part, unseen here, is of a boy getting ready to play in what he mistakenly thinks is snow. January 2019.
Train #10 has tied down in Bascomville, SC for a few hours while the crew waits for permission to occupy the NS track at Chester, SC. At this point, the crew was leaving to go get dinner and wait it out, and would leave for the interchange around dusk.
Built up as a fixed-gear so I can shovel some miles onto it before painting it, boxing it, and sending it off to (approximately) the east coast.
NOBR AKES -- I have yet to braze on the canti (we agreed to not do centerpulls) posts, brake and chainstay bridges, or the wiring ports for internal wiring. When I get the brakes onto this thing (and get a half link to tighten the chain; geared bicycle w/ vertical dropouts, so I can't push the rear wheel back and forth to get the right chain tension) I'll drop fenders onto it and loop it further from home than the approximately 1800 feet I took it w/o anything but my legs to stop the thing.
Working with gold leaf to give added texture to this found orb, a solid steel sphere of metal from a ball mill. Found at a Ghost mine in the deep desert! It will end up on another piece.
the after-quake tent being set up in front of the studio... for storage, sleeping, and just in case of emergency, little quakes are still felt daily... so much done so far, so much waiting for us, so much to adjust to... thanks to the Protezione Civile! We really appreciate all the help offered and given from so many sides
Bristol Omnibus Co's three Leyland-engined Bristol FLF Lodekkas were the first made for any operator. It did not subsequently become a numerous type. The new engine option was a consequence of the absorption of Bristol Commercial Vehicles into the Leyland empire. Eventually ...twenty years later... it was to prove the kiss of death. The first of Bristol's three FLF6Ls went to the "country" fleet and was always allocated to Bath: the remaining two became part of the Bristol "city" fleet and were placed at Winterstoke Road. In February 1977 both became part of the Traffic Pool and went to Muller Road depot.
I seem to remember that both the city examples were withdrawn and then hurriedly reinstated to plug gaps caused by vehicle and spares shortages. Note that the bus has no fleetname or advertising. From the little square "puncture repair" in the centre of the front dome, I would guess that two-way radio equipment had been salvaged. The bus is seen at the 73 terminus at Church Road, Filton (always "Filton church"), on Wednesday 24th May 1978. The bus served out another year and was finally withdrawn on 31st May 1979.
Along the roads of the Sindh province in Pakistan are tent villages where families have moved to higher ground to escape the flood waters that destroyed their homes.

The temporary scaffolding protecting the highest part of the wall has been washed away by a storm.
Temporary water meter for drawing water from a hydrant for a construction site. Switzerland, April 22, 2022.
just three months ago this land was covered in rows of tenements. it had running water, electricity, sewerage and a sense of community. in three months time, the heavy machinery will arrive and the ground will begin to be prepared for more water, electricity, sewerage etc to serve the new apartments and office blocks. the sense of community will take a little longer to arrive. in the meantime, the remenants of old building walls and the availability of discarded building material on this now derilict land make it ideal for building a little shack on. are these old residents who refuse to move for sentimental reasons or desperate opportunists ? i couldn't find anyone around to tell me. i guess they were all out making a living. with temperatures now dropping below zero degrees C and planning to drop a fair bit further before they start to rise again three months from now, at least the polluted water will smell less bad when frozen.
so as to provide a more balanced picture...
for an idea of what this site might look like in six months click
here, and for an idea of how it will look in one or two years, click
here. both these sites were empty and derilict when i first came to the city but are now being filled again with new life. for an overall sense of the dalian skyline, click here
