Look at the circular scribe marks on the wooden hub of this old wagon wheel. They indicate what size of a hole should be bored for 5 different axle sizes.
This wooden wagon wheel is in long-term (perhaps permanent) outdoor storage.😎 It is just one of a myriad of photogenic objects and materials stored this way, all on public view. They are at the eccentric, charming location given below. It is also a restaurant offering simple meals and beverages, except in winter. But in December, you can go there to buy Christmas trees grown on-site, and fresh-harvested mistletoe!
Location: Kreiterhof, near the village of Nebenau, Baden-Württemberg DE

The details of this hub of a wooden wheel are interesting, I think. The hub is composed internally of a series of wooden cylinders of increasing size. Possible reasons for this:
- Easy replacement of the innermost cylinder in contact with the axle if it wears out.
- Easy adjustment of a given wheel to axles of different diameters.
If you know more about this, please inform us.

Nabe eines alten Schiffspropellers der "Cap San Diego". Die «Cap San Diego» ist ein nach wie vor seetüchtiges Museumsschiff (Baujahr 1961) und hat seinen Liegeplatz an der Überseebrücke des Hamburger Hafens.

Hub of an old ship's propeller of the "Cap San Diego". The "Cap San Diego" is still a seaworthy museum ship (built in 1961) and is moored at the Überseebrücke in the Port of Hamburg.
Morgan.
It was bright yellow in colour and was parked outside a coffee shop.
There were numerous other veteran and vintage cars parked in close proximity and it seems that all the owners were having their weekly caffeine fix.
However I arrived a little too late as they were departing on my arrival but I did manage to grab a few images of the Morgan.

I took this photo in Sheringham, Norfolk, at The Harley-Davidson bike invasion where over 400 bikes arrive from all over the country and are diplayed in the town centre. It is a sight to behold. Not just the bikes but the colourful characters who ride them.
This is another image in what will likely become my "Kreiterhof Kollection." This one and many others were shot at Kreiterhof* in exceptionally bright, late-afternoon summer light. That's a kind of light that many photo tutorials recommend we should avoid, because it generates such extreme highlights and extreme shadows. Hah. Instead, I think these extremes provide us an opportunity to make dramatic photos.
* Kreiterhof (see location below) is an amazing, amusing 200+ year-old rural establishment. Between Easter and late December, you can go there for a casual outdoor lunch or dinner. Before or after, you can wander around a mind-boggling accumulation of objects, materials and devices that are in "indefinite long-term outdoor-storage." They are waiting to be used...for something, sometime.

Front Shimano XTR 'quick release' hub of my "urban cycle", created from a high end Norco Nitro mountain bike that I bought in 1993. It was time for a change so I had the silver painted frame stripped to bare metal and a friend painted it "Eddy Merckx" orange with cream scallops while another friend outlined the scallops with a red pinstripe to match the brake and shifter cables. I added "moustache" handlebars, so named because they look like a handlebar moustache, the reason I'm using them is so I could use bar end shifter's (closeup in other photo) I replaced the original Rock Shox front fork with a more traditional fork, suitable for an urban cycle. The brake hoods and levers are by Campagnolo as are the pedals with old style toe clips and brown leather straps to match the Brooks leather handlebar tape and saddle. The rear 9 speed Shimano cassette is new and required for the bar end shifters to work. Most of the original gear left is all Shimano XTR, top of the line components that you know will work. Eddy Merckx for those that may not know is considered the greatest cyclist of all time, winning more races than any other pro racer. Merckx raced everything, grand tours and one day classics, he was nicknamed The Cannibal because of his aggressive style. He raced professionally through the '60's and 70's and his bikes were orange like the colour I selected. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_Merckx
This is one of many ways to make a nifty round shape fit into a brick-built hull. Go crazy and view it large.
East Van is a small local moving company located in the downtown Eastside of Vancouver BC. The added graffiti is VANdalism but kind of neat in this case.

>I'm not sure the BC place photo will turn out.... it just has such fine detail as a photo that I am unsure I am going to be able to do it justice on a wood panel. I am looking at some other photos of yours though and am continually drawn to the "EAST VANdal" truck photo. I like the idea of doing art work of other artwork (albeit graffiti).
Taken at the annual Sharonville car show in the Sharonville suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. At least some Packards from the 20's and early 30's had solid wheels like this one.
Stupid me. I took this shot several years ago and before I started trying to collect pictures of Packards. I failed to get a shot of the car itself. My guess is that the car wasn't in a position to get a decent shot and I know the crowd was quite large which might also have hindered me from getting the car. Not a good thing. I don't think I've seen the car at another show since. Me moto has been "If you see it, shoot it.", but I didn't follow my advice this time and lost.

The Ligier JS11 was a ground effect Formula One car designed by Gérard Ducarouge. It was powered by the Ford Cosworth DFV married to a Ligier in-house built gearbox. It competed in the 1979 and 1980 World Championships and proved to be very competitive.
Driven by Jacques Laffite, the car won the first two races of the 1979 season and scored consistently. The Ligiers stayed in contention throughout the season, with Patrick Depailler winning a further race in Spain. The team eventually finished third behind Ferrari and Williams in the constructors' championship. Depailler was injured halfway through the season in a hang-gliding accident and was replaced by Jacky Ickx, but he struggled to keep pace with the car and his team mate and left at the end of the season, having scored only a handful of points.
For 1980, the JS11 was updated with improved aerodynamics and better ground effects. The team took on Didier Pironi in place of Depailler. Again the car was fast and competitive, but the Brabham BT49 and the Williams FW07proved to be the cars to beat, with Alan Jones taking the world championship. Even so, the team still scored two wins, and would surely have taken more but for several suspension and tyre failures in the mid season. The car was producing so much downforce that the suspension and wheelhubs were coming under direct loading and therefore stress fractures developed. This was due to the immense pressure exerted on the suspension arms and the wheels by the ground effect, causing them to fail under hard braking. This effectively cost Ligier the chance to fight with Williams and Brabham for both titles.
The team finished second in the constructors' championship in 1980 ahead of Brabham, and the JS11 evolved into the JS17 for 1981. The JS11 was used as a primary test car for Michelin to experiment with their tyres.
In all the JS11 took five wins, seven pole positions and scored 127 points in its career.

I just realised that my EOS-M had yesterday's date set. It was right two days ago so I must have adjusted it without realising.

I was rather intrigued by the muzzle, (Hexaginal-Cannonballs?) of this thing, which was parked outside the entrance to the Military Musem in Peninsular Barracks, Winchester.
Unfortunatly I could not find anyone around who could tell me anything about it when I looked inside and I didn't have much time to investigate further.

I was wandering around the Cobb & Co Museum in Toowoomba this morning and became interested in the number of different wheel hubs on the wagons and carriages. This is just a few.
