Had some cloudy rainy weather on the beach yesterday. Saw the theme and couldn't help but take pics of the old Futuro house from the 60s, complete with aliens :)
The view from the very bottom of St. Patrick's Well in Orvieto. It really is time travel of sorts, given how far back in time it was built.
"The Pozzo di San Patrizio (English: "St. Patrick's Well") is a historic well in Orvieto, Umbria, central Italy. It was built by architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger of Florence, between 1527 and 1537, at the behest of Pope Clement VII who had taken refuge at Orvieto during the sack of Rome in 1527 by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and feared that the city's water supply would be insufficient in the event of a siege. The well was completed in 1537 during the papacy of Pope Paul III.
The name was inspired by medieval legends that St. Patrick's Purgatory in Ireland gave access down to Purgatory, indicating something very deep.
The architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger surrounded the central well shaft with two spiral ramps in a double helix, accessed by two doors, which allowed mules to carry empty and full water vessels separately in downward and upward directions without obstruction. The cylindrical well is 53.15 metres (174.4 ft) deep with a base diameter of 13 metres (43 ft). There are 248 steps and 70 windows provide illumination."

For the Flickr Friday group. This weeks theme "blue."
What else but the blue box known as the TARDIS.
It was old and outdated when the Doctor 'borrowed' it from the time lords, but over the years it's renewed itself almost as much as the Doctor has regenerated. And of course it's blue.
Spanning 100 years from my great grandfather through my grandmother and my mother, my youngest grandson epitomizes a 21st century child clasping his mobile phone along with his soft toys. The wall clock here is shown as the time machine and because it clicks off the seconds the second hand shows the passage of time.
Technique wise, I stood the clock on two grey boards which I changed to black in Photoshop. I also re-angled the clock to make it look like it was travelling forward into space.
The earrings and the ring are vintage gold jewelry from the early sixties. Stars have been symbolic of divine guidance and protection.
FlickrFriday theme is: #TimeMachine
Macro Mondays theme is: #Star
Every day, visitors take a zillion photos of the famous terracotta army in Xi'an. It is probably impossible to find a new view of the scenery. In my attempt, I gave a radial blur to the construction protecting the figures from the weather. It should appear like the tunnel of a time machine that helps the warriors with their transition from ancient times to the present.

The original shot is here and definitely worth the read.

Downtown Qualicum Beach, BC was the sight of a beautiful display of antique 'hot rods' over the weekend. This is the hood ornament on a 1928 Model A Ford.
A huge thank you to all my visitors. I had no idea this had been Explored and will visit each of you soon.

Premièrement pour ceux d'entre vous qui utilisé la plateforme Canon et le logiciel EOS Utility 3 pour importer vos images de vos appareils photo à un de vos disques durs via vos ordinateurs Apple afin de les traiter avec Lightroom ou autre soyez avisé que le logiciel EOS Utility 3 de canon n'est pas supporté par la nouvelle plateforme Apple Mojave et si comme moi, vous effectué une mise à jour du system OS de votre Mac, vous allé rencontrer beaucoup de difficultés, car il vous sera impossible d'importer vos photos à partir de cette plateforme avec EOS Utility 3... Vous devrez alors faire comme moi, j'ai contacté Apple care qui m'ont guidé dans la manœuvre et c'est pas de tout repos, une chance que mes images étaient sur des disques durs externe car sinon je perdais tout... J'avais bien un TimeMachine que j'avais fait, mais il datait du 12 février 2018 alors tous les images que j'avais traitée sur Lightroom pour les mettre de RAW en format JPEG étaient revenue en RAW... Imaginez la somme de travail que j'ai dû faire depuis les dernier 48 heures et j'en ai encore pour des semaines à revoir le tout...
Imaginé l"internet n"est déjà vraiment pas rapide chez moi et maintenant en plus avant de présenter une image je dois toutes les revoir...
Alors Attention, avant d'effectuer une mise à jour du système d'exploitation sur vos ordinateurs, soyez certain d'avoir fait une copie disque de tout avant de changer ainsi que les BackUp de Adobe s'il y a lieu.

First of all for those of you who used the Canon platform and the EOS Utility 3 software to import your images from your cameras to one of your hard disks via your Apple computers in order to process them with Lightroom or other be aware that the EOS software Canon Utility 3 is not supported by the new Apple Mojave platform and if like me you made an update of the OS system of your Mac you will have a lot of difficulties because you will not be able to import your photos from this platform with EOS Utility 3 ... You will have to do like me. I contacted Apple care who guided me in the maneuver and it's not easy, A chance that my images were on external hard drives because otherwise I lost everything... I had a TimeMachine that I had made, but it dated February 12, 2018, so all the images I had processed on Lightroom to put RAW in JPEG format had returned to RAW. .. Imagine the amount of work I have done since the last 48 hours and I still have work for weeks to review everything and sort it...
So imagined the internet is alreally not fast at all were I live and now in addition wen I whant to present you an image I must treat them again and chose the bets one of the batch ...
So be careful before upgrading the operating system of your computer (Mac or PC ), be sure to make a hard copy of everything before change, also Adobe Backup if applicable.
No, it doesn't appear to be impressive; and it's off the beaten path, weather beaten, and tucked away in a corner almost by design. But if you stand close enough and listen closely you might hear the gentle hum of this "time & place portal", who's waiting for its next traveler. Who's to say you couldn't just step inside this portal and not be transported to another place, world, or even time. Imagine the possibilities. But remember, it's only operates one way, so think carefully before you step onto this portal.
But better hurry it might already have disappeared; gone with someone who took the chance.
Safe travels my friend.

Let's see, some controls, something that looks like a dentist chair and a weird machine with a giant disc... It all looks like it's from another age!
Let's sit down and see what happens when I pull that lever...
...and see what happens when I pull that lever...

I am getting a strong sense of déjà-vu here...

Yep, it is the time machine from H.G. Wells and the 1960 movie alright.
Let's hope Mini-me quickly figures out that he needs to set a date, or this wil be a long series of boring posts...
Some time ago I chatted with Murdoch17 about a beautiful build of this machine he made with Rebrickable and his brother. Thanks for that!
This one is also based on the Rebrickable design from BrickCreator123.
But as usual with some twists of my own. I might improve on it, but for now it will do.
