Turning a wooden bowl, part 10. Here the bowl is is face down in a compression chuck (actually a different set of jaws on the same chuck seen in previous pictures. The inside has been finished. This step allows the bottom to be flattened and to get rid of the dovetail socket, which is no longer needed. After this, and a bit of sanding, the rest of the finih will be applied, and the bowl will be completed. I'll post a last shot of the finished bowl, although that will probably take another week or so. For 2016: one photo each day (207/366)
I've been shooting a little closer to home lately, but there's a 3-day weekend looming...I'm watching the weather to decide where to go. Anyone heading out?
Acquedotto di Segovia. A massive construction feat that was done with such precision of a grade of less than 1 deg.
Just had a couple of days in London hitting some of the galleries. Naturally I also took loads of pictures whilst wandering about from venue to venue, and this is the first off the roll.
Shot with my all new, all singing, all dancing, smart phone. Very smart as it turns out because it's producing some very credible and impressive images.
No, I know, it won't replace my cameras - well not completely - but it was a bit of an eye opener just how much has improved since my last smart phone purchase (and this one is sooo last year - in terms of tech) and I haven't even switched over to Pro mode yet. Many happy pictures to come I think.
Thank you for visiting my stream.

Here's a chameleon tail for your Monday! This fellow had his eyes closed for most of the time I was looking at him, so I was looking for other interesting part of the body.
Today's my first in-service day as I look toward beginning a new school year. The school year's regular schedule usually helps me get Monday through Friday posting regularity of photos. Here's to a great new year! :)
Our son just got a new coaching job in Columbus Ohio. Yesterday we followed him out to help him get settled in. There was just the beginning of Fall colors in central MD but by the far western county it was peak. It was fun to watch the progression. HTMT!
looking forward to seeing what a new decade brings!

These shots were difficult to get. Obviously the cheetah is running at a high rate of speed so that was one obstacle but the other big one is shooting this through a fence. Lucky I got these two. Seems like this run took about 2 seconds.
I don't know how much I'll be on Flickr today because my grandson is suppose to visit. He's leaving for Colorado on Sunday for an internship job. Exciting for him but I'll miss him terribly. Hope you all enjoy your day with the fact that Friday is right around the bend.
and there's another great structure to capture. That's a good outcome after having climbed the difficult rocks/stones on the breaker protecting the marina in Ystad.

MALMÖ (Suécia): Turning Torso.
Turning Torso é um arranha-céus localizado na cidade de Malmö, no sul da Suécia, no lado sueco do estreito de Öresund. Foi desenhado pelo famoso arquiteto Santiago Calatrava com base em uma de suas esculturas, feita em mármore, chamada "Twisting Torso". (Wikipedia)
At 190.4 meters, Turning Torso is the third tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-meter skyscraper Triumph Palace in Moscow and the 212-meter skyscraper Sky Tower in Wrocław.
The construction is based on nine cubes with five floors in each cube. Including the intermediate floors, there will be a total of 54 floors. Each floor is about 400 m². The total office space comprises approx. 4,200 m² and is located in the two lowest cubes. Cube three to cube nine comprise a total of 147 apartments. The top two floors (53 and 54) are the Turning Torso Meetings conference facility. Each floor basically consists of a square part around the core and a triangular part, which is partly supported by an external steel support structure. The entire structure turns a quarter of a turn on its way up.
