Megalithic tomb (Passage grave) Newgrange, Co Meath, Ireland - 2500BC. Dated to around 3200 BC, Newgrange is 1,000 older than Stonehenge and centuries older than the great pyramids of Egypt.
At the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the light of rising sun penetrates the tomb through the roofbox over the entrance, gradually illuminating the passage for a distance of 62feet to the three chambers at the end.
(I believe it didn't happen to day - too dark, damp and grey!). Photo taken several years ago.

This lays at an angle so I clamped it with two forward baces so the joints are all unstressed when riveted
The new alignment at Heamies Farm, with Freightliner Class 66/5 No. 66506 'Crewe Regeneration' leading 4M88 0932 Felixstowe North - Crewe Basford Hall off the new alignment of the down slow from Searchlight Lane Junction on 17th August 2016. Previously a four-track formation continued around the curve to Norton Bridge, which now with closer inspection revealing that the now redundant fourth track (down slow-above red third container) has been lifted.

The Orion-theory that the alignment and placement of the pyramids of Giza is widely known, though much discredited.
Whilst reading up on the theory, i came across this, alternate theory to the alignment and layout of the pyramids of the Giza plateau.
Primarily they focused on something much closer than the Orion constellation, rather they set reflect the inner planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
This theory rests on several remarkable coincidences
1. the 3 misaligned pyramids have an angular separation equaling 191.6 degrees, or the identical angular distance Mars travels in one Earth year
2. the distances from the peaks of the pyramids are proportionally identical to the distance of the inner planets from one another
3. the three pyramid bases are directly proportional to the physical size for these four inner planets. The two largest pyramids have a size ratio very similar to Earth and Venus, while the third and smallest pyramid equals the "average" size ratio for the two smallest planets, Mars and Mercury
Thus some argue, their their main objective was to emphasize planet motion and the arrangement of the 4 inner planets.
This pyramid/planet comparison begs the question is it the result of a great engineering coincidence? Or were the pyramids constructed with the intent of reflecting the heavens -- and how did the Ancient Egyptians poccess this intimate knowledge of the Solar system, and how was it lost to mankind?

Sequence analysis of the PDIR non-catalytic domain.(A) Occurrence of the domain in protein disulfide isomerases and other proteins. Human ERp57 is shown for comparison. Catalytic motifs are shown in catalytically-active thioredoxin-like domains. (B) Rooted phylogenetic tree of proteins shown in panel (A). Sequences labeled WUBG_02370 and RNA methyltransferase are proteins from parasitic nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti (EJW86719) and Brugia malayi (XP_001896925); mosquito PDIR is from Aedes aegypti (XP_001659136). The N-terminal catalytic domain of ERp57 was used for the phylogenetic tree. The figure was generated with ClustalW [29] and TreeViewPPC [30]. (C) Sequence alignment of the non-catalytic domain from PDIR proteins from human (NP_006801), rabbit (XP_002716857), rattlesnake (AFJ50881), chicken (XP_422097), zebrafish (XP_001107048), frog (XP_001086600), fly (XP_609645), and sea urchin (XP_001200801) and the related sequence from Brugia malayi RNA methyltransferase (XP_001896925). The consensus sequence is shown below; the secondary structure elements are above the sequence.
The magnets do an amazing job keeping the TouchFire aligned.

I made these this past week as part of my new head tube alignment system. On the left, an adjustible jack. On the right, a tube centering gauge. (The gauge itself I bought from Joel of Clockwork bikes; I built the base. Eventually I'll make a new gauge that's a little more to my liking.)
this is a panorama made from 8 pictures.
It was taken on May, the 1rst, at 3:00 AM GMT.
At this moment, Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction. The milky-way core was still visible.
Location : La Seyne sur Mer, near Toulon, France.
Setup : Nikon Z6 II + Nikkor 24/70 @ 24 mm -f/4 - ISO 1600 - 20 s
I am measuring any twist between the seattube and the headtube. .0035 inches is pretty much as good as it gets.

Somewhere in the Stockholm archipelago. Taken from the ferry between Nynäshamn and Nåttarö (also spelled Nåtarö, sometimes).
I turned a cylinder of stainless steel to the identical outside diameter of the tailstock spindle (39.98mm). Then brought the tailstock spindle up against the just-turned cylinder in the chuck, locked the carriage and locked the tailstock and tailstock spindle. Then, using a tenths-indicator mounted to the apron, I could adjust the tailstock lateral position to be coplanar to the just-turned cylinder.

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.
Fairbank ghost town, Arizona - Just a few miles to the west of the famous 'ghost town' of Tombstone is the tiny, forgotten community of Fairbank. While Tombstone has been turned into more of a tourist trap and amusement park, Fairbank truly is a ghost town - a collection of abandoned ruins from the nineteenth century crumbling in the desert sun.
The area was first settled in the 1870's, but Fairbank became an official town when the post office was established in 1883, just as Tombstone was booming due to rich mine strikes nearby. Located on the banks of the San Pedro River, Fairbank became the junction for three railroad lines and quickly rose to prominence as a major shipping hub for the region. A stagecoach line was quickly set up to transport people to Tombstone ten miles away (which didn't receive its own railroad spur until 1903). Fairbank was never large - at its peak it only had about a hundred residents - but Fairbank had everything a town needed - several saloons, a hotel, general store, mill, restaurants, jail and school.
But just as quickly as southeast Arizona boomed from the silver mines, in a few short years it turned to bust and people looking to make a fortune turned elsewhere. Due to the rail line, Fairbank hung on through the early twentieth century, even after the original land grant owners evicted most of the nearby homesteaders. The school closed in 1944, the post office in the 1970's, and soon all that remained were the shells of abandoned buildings on the side of the road.
In 1987, the Bureau of Land Management bought up the land and established the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, which included Fairbank and the surrounding area. Some of the buildings were restored, including the former schoolhouse which is now a small museum. The hotel was demolished to make way for the nearby highway, but some other buildings remain near the original town center. The general store has collapsed, and is fenced off, halfway restored by the BLM.
Heading north, parallel to one of the original railroad alignments and the San Pedro River is the River Loop Trail, a five mile round trip starting at Fairbank. A spur leading off the trail leads to the town cemetery, with rotten wooden crosses and crumbling concrete markers scattered about the top of a hill. Further up the trail are the ruins of the Grand Central Mill, which processed the ore from the nearby Grand Central Mine for the few short years it was in operation before it flooded.
For my trip, I visited Fairbank on New Year's Eve 2007, while on the drive home from passing through Tombstone that morning. While the amusement-park-type ghost town typified by Tombstone can be fun and entertaining in its own right, I've always been partial to 'real', completely abandoned ghost towns, nearly forgotten by the passage of time. In fact, finding Fairbank was somewhat of a happy happenstance, I never intended to stop there until I passed by on the highway. From a small parking spot just off the road, there are a handful of restored buildings at the center of town (the stone schoolhouse, plus a stable and related buildings constructed in the 1940's). Further along the railroad alignment, perpendicular to the highway are the nearly-collapsed ruins of a small house and the general store/saloon/post office. The foundations of the hotel are under the highway itself.
However, the most interesting ruins I found were on the south side of the highway, closer to the river - a small building in the brush just visible from the road, containing an old boiler and some machinery, tower rising above and cement foundation blocks outside. I have no idea what this building used to be.
I also headed up along the River Trail to the cemetery on the hill, one of the most interesting cemeteries I've visited because it was so broken down and untended. Unfortunately, by this time I was starting to feel quite poorly from the advancing effects of the flu, which started earlier in the morning and got worse as the day progressed. So I cut the visit short, didn't continue further up the trail to the Grand Central Mill, and got back on the road heading west.

Mating the microcontroller to the LED display, making sure where everything lines up.
Part of the high-tech holiday decorations project.
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.
