Alignment, of place and time, is...hard to come by, hard to plan, hard to live by. But when it comes around, sets you back in that delusional state of mind that pursues dreams.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but one of the screw heads for the machine heads sheared off. I was not happy.

A lazy Wednesday afternoon gave me the opportunity to explore a little of the future Paramatta light rail alignment. These pictures feature the outer terminus at Carlingford. Just about all reminders of the former railway line have gone now.
These images are from two very similar projects that I've just helped my friends with. They want to be able to hold bike frames on their alignment tables by the head tube. They both purchased used bench centers, and we had to make bull nose centers for them.
The fit up needed to be very close, so we were working to within a few tenths.
The other complication was that one of the centers on each set was spring loaded and utilized a rack and pinion to withdraw it... so we had to mill those rack gears.

Sequence, structure, and phylogenetic analyses of various MtnDs.(A) Multiple sequence alignment of the MtnD family. Magenta bars show highly conserved cupin motifs I and II, magenta and green triangles show amino acid residues involved in metal binding and catalysis, respectively. (B) Predicted tertiary structure of T. thermophila MtnD. The structure of MtnD was modeled on that of M. musculus MtnD (PDB ID: 1VR3) using Swiss-model. Orange sphere represents a nickel atom. His307, His309, Glu313 and His352 (shown in magenta) form the metal binding site. Phe303, Arg315, and Phe 354 (shown in green) are essential for dioxygenation. (C) Phylogenetic tree based on primary sequences of the MtnD family. Alignments were created with ClustalW and displayed using Treeview. Scale bar indicates a difference of 0.1 substitutions per site. Names and gene accession numbers are as follows: A. gambiae (XP_315627), A. aeolicus (NP_214354), A. thaliana (NP_567443), A. nidulans (XP_664180), B. subtilis (NP_389245), C. elegans (NP_510072), C. variabilis (EFN58452), C. neoformans (XP_572521), D. rerio (NP_955962), D. discoideum (XP_635174), D. melanogaster (NP_001097577), E. cloacae 13047 (YP_003613573), G. kaustophilus (YP_146809), H. sapiens (NP_060739), H. magnipapillata (XP_002165167), K. oxytoca (AAD11793), M. aeruginosa (A8YMJ4), M. brevicollis MX1 (XP_001750499), M. musculus (NP_598813), N. crassa (XP_956660), O. sativa (AAC05511), P. aeruginosa (NP_250375), S. cerevisiae (NP_013722), S. pombe (NP_596475), S. purpuratus (XP_789320), S. elongatus (YP_171626), V. vinifera (CBI26309), V. carteri (XP_002955803), X. tropicalis (NP_001004933). Proteins described in (A) are underscored.

Domain structure, phylogeny and conservation of critical catalytic features of ciliate PIPKs.A, Domain structure of Tetrahymena PIPKs. The RING domain predicted in PIPK2b and transmembrane and SecY domains in PIPK5 have been removed (see Table S1 and Methods). Domain boundaries, e-values and further details are given in Table S1. B, Unrooted neighbor-joining tree of catalytic domains from 37 ciliate PIPKs. Bootstrap values from 5000 replicates higher than 60% are indicated near the corresponding branches. Group 1, 2, 3 and 4 PIPKs are color coded (blue, green, red and purple respectively). Circles and triangles represent Tetrahymena and Paramecium PIPKs, respectively. Bar indicates number of amino acid substitutions per site. Phylogenetic relationships of ciliate group 2 PIPK genes were less resolved with less nodes supported by high bootstrap values. In Paramecium, 4 additional group 3 PIPKs that are organized in 2 pairs of paralogs (PtPIPK3c,d and PtPIPK3e,f) and they are most related to TtPIPK3 are not shown. C, Sequence alignment of the catalytic kinase domains from ciliate PIPKs and mammalian PIPKI? and PIPKII?. The position of prominent catalytic features is indicated by arrows and arrowheads and numbered residues refer to the mouse PIPKII? structure described in reference 46. Polygons indicate residues that interact with ATP or the phosphoinositide substrate (PtdIns5P) in the crystal structure of PIPKII? and they are conserved in both type I and II PIPKs [46]. The variable inserts between the MDYSL and IID motifs present in all PIPKs have been omitted. The residues K150, D278 and D369, essential for catalytic activity, are conserved in all but 2 Tetrahymena PIPKs (highlighted in grey; see text and Figure S4 for details). The DLKGS motif in TtPIPK2c (highlighted in grey) has been reconstituted from RNA sequencing data (Table S1). The position of the KKxE/AxxxK motif in the specificity loop is indicated by a bar; further K residues that may contribute are highlighted by light blue and most ciliate PIPK1, but not PIPK2, genes confront to the consensus KK motif. Note that in all but 2 ciliate PIPKs the +2 position (E/A residues) in the specificity loop is occupied by a Glu residue as in all PtdInsP 5-kinases.
While out shooting Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park, I couldn't resist getting a shot of the setup on film. :)

The Mr Despair on the right came from a manga cover. The D&D type alignments on the left came from some loving fan.(When I find the fan's name, I'll give them the credit.)
Putting them together made a rather nice wallpaper. For the week anyway.
Somewhere, deep in space The Alignment happens. Now nothing will be the same.

The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the French village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. The more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world.
In the background of this view, the track bed serving the north portal of the Gotthard Base Tunnel can be seen above the road where the underpass takes Gotthardstrasse beneath the new railway alignment. Heading south in the foreground, SBB 11218 hauls IR2279, the 16:09 Zurich HB to Locarno.

A peculiar situation somewhere in the E. Sierra
Maybe there were a bunch of planets in alignment that day too! ;-)
Thanks for your visit, comments, critiques
The new alignment for the South Fraser Perimeter Road, detailing the path of the new Highway #17 (SFPR) and Highway #17A.
These megalith alignments, contemporary to those (more famous) of Carnac, show that the Crozon peninsula was inhabited since many thousands of years. The standing stones date from about 2500 BC. In the beginning there were probably more than 400 stones; today there are only 65 left, arranged in three lines that form three of the four sides of a rectangle. The longest line is about 200 m. It is assumed that the arrangement had an astronomic significance related to the constellation of Pleiades whose name in Breton is “ar yar” (the hen), hence the name of the place derived from “Lagad-Yar” (hen’s eye).

Aliniamentele de megaliţi, contemporanele cu cele (mai cunoscute) de la Carnac, aratǎ cǎ peninsula Crozon a fost locuitǎ de mai multe mii de ani. Menhirele dateazǎ din anii 2500 î.Ch. Iniţial, în amplasament s-au aflat probabil peste 400 de pietre; astǎzi au mai rǎmas 65, dispuse în trei linii formând trei din laturile unui dreptunghi. Cea mai lungǎ dintre ele are cca. 200 m. Se presupune cǎ amplasamentul a avut unele semnificaţii de naturǎ astronomicǎ, fiind legate de constelaţia Pleiadelor, purtând în bretonǎ numele de “ar yar” (gǎina), de unde şi numele locului derivat din “Lagad-Yar” (ochiul gǎinii).

I took a better picture than this one - see later on in my photostream!
--
Started off by prepping the paper with gesso just to give it a bit more tooth (the paper I'm using is a bit cheap).
Wrote words with a 3B pencil all over. Started with the big red shapes, then added some green.
Decided (probably too consciously) to do a figure. Added more green around her head.
Got stuck quite a few times, then hit on lilac coloured hair. Got stuck again, decided to make her body white.
Struggled to know what to do, so eventually just stopped.
I found this a lot harder than abstract as I just didn't know where to go with it.
Still enjoyed it though!
