Como eu havia prometido :)
Essa eu tirei pra Bianca, em homenagem a todos desprovidos de uma grande angular e que tem que se virar em chaleira, bola de engate de carro, espelho de elevador, etc.
A minha ficou no chinelo da dela, mas fiz o que pude. hehe
for theme of the week "angularity".....taken at a family gathering to celebrate my brother and dad's birthdays, the inside of my brothers radiator !!
still getting to grips with the fuji....

7-Pennsylvian Tensleep Sandstone with thin interbeds of limestone and dolomites at the base
Once the Shoshone River exits Rattlesnake Mountain into the Big Horn Basin at Cody the river remains in a canyon that has the Cody bench (river terrace) on both sides. An angular unconformity between the Quaternary Cody Terrace Gravels and the red Triassic Chugwater Formation is exposed in the bend of the river on the canyon wall in the center of the image. The Cody Rodeo Arena can be seen on the Cody Bench just behind the exposed unconformity.
Geologically, an unconformity is an erosional or non-depositional surface separating two rock masses or strata of different ages, indicating that sediment deposition was not continuous. In other words, an unconformity indicates that 1- the older rock layer was exposed to erosion for an interval of time before deposition of the younger; 2- there was a period of non-deposition between the time the 2 sediment layers were deposited at least at that location or 3- a combination of both. An angular unconformity is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata of sedimentary rock are deposited on tilted and eroded layers, producing an angular discordance with the overlying layers. This indicates that the older beds were titled or deformed tectonically, then truncated by erosion, before the younger beds were deposited. The entire package can be subsequently deformed after deposition of the younger beds so they are no longer parallel but the discordance with the older beds still remains.
Generally, development of an unconformity is accompanied by or preceded by uplift of the rock units or strata that will be eroded, and/or the fall of relative sea level, thus exposing rock units or strata to erosion. The presence of an unconformity indicates a gap or vacuity in the chronostratigraphic record.
The rocks visible in the foreground from front to back are shales; limestone and cherts on the Permian Park City Formation (also known as the Phosphoria Formation), and the tan sandstones of the Pennsylvanian Tensleep Formation. On top of the cliffs both to the left and the right in the foreground are topped with Quaternary Travertine Deposits that are part of the Colter's Hell (Also know as the Demaris or Cody) hydrothermal (hot springs) area.

To see these in stereo, use the cross-eyed technique.
The highly inclined sedimentary rock units are part of the Twist Gulch Formation of Middle Jurassic age. They consist of fairly friable siltstones and fine grained sandstones. Laying unconformably on top of the Twist Gulch Formation are the lighter horizontal beds of the Mid-Paleocene Flagstaff Formation. These light colored beds are primarily sandstones.
Above the Flagstaff formation lie the Colton Formation, and the Green River Formation (upper Paleocene to Eocene).

Daily Dog Challenge: Angular.
Kahn & Etta helping dig a new hole for their "Yard Art" (dog poo composter :)
Often described as Britain's first supercar (a little late, Italy beat us to that like 5 years earlier!), but the Aston Martin V8 and the derivative Vantage helped keep the company afloat during those dark years of bankruptcy and recovery, even though it almost committed corporate suicide by developing the overly complicated Lagonda!
The original Aston Martin V8 was a coupé manufactured from 1969 to 1989, built to replace the Aston Martin DBS, a more angular car that killed off the DB6, and by extension the iconic design that had eminated through the James Bond DB5. As with all traditional Aston Martins, it was entirely handbuilt, with each car requiring 1,200 manhours to finish. Aston Martin's customers had been clamouring for an eight-cylinder car for years, so Aston Martin designed a larger car. The engine was not ready, however, so in 1967 the company released the DBS with the straight-six Vantage engine from the DB6. Two years later, Tadek Marek's V8 was ready, and Aston released the DBS V8. With the demise of the straight-six Vantage in 1973, the DBS V8, now restyled and called simply the Aston Martin V8, became the company's mainstream car for nearly two decades. It was retired in favour of the Virage in 1989.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage on the other hand took the original bodyshell of this 60's sports coupé, and completely re-engineered it to create something that was not of this earth! The first series had 375hp, and series specific details such as a blanked bonnet vent and a separate rear spoiler, of which 38 of these were built.
The Vantage name had previously been used on a number of high-performance versions of Aston Martin cars, but this was a separate model. Although based on the Aston Martin V8, numerous detail changes added up to a unique driving experience. One of the most noticeable features was the closed-off hood bulge rather than the open scoop found on the normal V8. The grille area was also closed off, with twin driving lights inserted and a spoiler added to the bootlid.
Upon its introduction in 1977, the car's incredible speed and power was taken up with acclaim, and, as mentioned, was dubbed 'Britain's first supercar', with a top speed of 170 mph top speed. Its engine was shared with the Lagonda, but it used high-performance camshafts, increased compression ratio, larger inlet valves and bigger carburettors mounted on new manifolds for increased output. Straight-line performance was the best of the day, with acceleration from 0–60 mph in 5.3 seconds, one-tenth of a second quicker than the Ferrari Daytona.
The Oscar India version, introduced in late 1978, featured an integrated tea-tray spoiler and smoother bonnet bulge. Inside, a black leather-covered dash replaced the previous walnut. The wooden dashboard did find its way back into the Vantage during the eighties, giving a more luxurious appearance. The Oscar India version also received a slight increase in power, to 390hp. This line was produced, with some running changes, until 1989. From 1986 the engine had 403hp.
1986 saw the introduction of X-Pack was a further upgrade, with Cosworth pistons and Nimrod racing-type heads producing 403hp. A big bore after-market option was also available from Works Service, with 50mm carbs and straight-through exhaust system giving 432hp, the same engine as fitted to the limited-edition V8 Zagato. 16-inch wheels were also now fitted. A 450hp 6.3L version was also available from Aston Martin, and independent manufacturers offered a 7L version just to up the ante.
In 1986, the Vantage had its roof cut off into what would become the convertible Vantage Volante, basically identical. In 1987 The Prince of Wales took delivery of a Vantage Volante, but at his request without the production car's wider wheelarches, front air dam and side skirts. This became known as the 'Prince of Wales Spec' (or POW) and around another 26 such cars were built by the factory.
The Prince was obviously very specific about his motorcars!
304 Series 2 Vantage coupés were built, including 131 X-Packs and 192 Volantes. Volante's are often considered the most desirable of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage range. In all, 534 V8 Vantages were constructed during its 12 year production run, with the car being replaced in 1989 by the Aston Martin Virage, as well as a new generation V8 Vantage which remained somewhat faithful to the original design of the 60's (if not a little more bulky) and was the last Aston Martin design to incorporate a traditional style before changing to the style laid down by the DB7 in 1993.
However, the Vantage did find its way into movie fame as the first Aston Martin used in a James Bond movie since the DBS used in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969. In 1987's 'The Living Daylights' (the first film to star Timothy Dalton as 007), Bond was treated to Q-Branch's Aston Martin V8 Vantage, complete with missiles, lasers to separate pesky Lada's from their chassis, and a heads-up display to assist in warding off evildoers. It also came with a 'Winter Pack', which included skis, a rocket propulsion and spiked tyres for better grip. The car however met an unfortunate demise after getting stuck in a snowdrift, forcing Bond to activate the self-destruct, engulfing the car in a fiery explosion. But at least everyone's favourite secret agent had finally been reunited with his faithful Aston Martin once again!
There is some slight incongruity with the film though, as at the beginning of the movie, the car is a convertible Volante, yet for the rest of the movie it's a hardtop regular Vantage. This confused me somewhat, or perhaps whilst Bond had the car shipped he had a roof welded on in the meantime!
Today there are a fair number of Vantages roaming the countryside, their popular design, pedigree Bond Car status and sheer raw power keeping them truly afloat. In fact, these cars are much more prominent than the Virage that replaced it, of which you barely see any!
I can put this up now it's been in its competition. A hand-held 1 second exposure of a fairground ride. I'm not given to much post-processing normally but this required a lot of mods to remove distractions.
Another shot of the Aventador. Don't like this shot a whole lot, but the car is epic enough to warrant an upload I think :)
This guy was snoring away across from me. I don't know how he could sleep at that precarious angle. But I do know, from the expressions of those around me, that fellow riders were not really amused.
Cualquier lugar es bueno para hacer una foto, y mas si tiene un espejo donde poder hacer una foto de gran angular..
por casualidad, me ha salido similar a esta
Golden Mile Complex, April 2023
This landmark 1973 Singapore development is about to be closed for a major redevelopment. The brutalist icon was designed by architects Gan Eng Oon, William Lim and Tay Kheng Soon and engineered by Arup.
Given the angular and detail oriented nature of this wheel, we felt it was necessary to create a new finish that would complement those design choices. The result is our brand new Crystal Black Buff finish. With black serving as the base coat, the high gloss clear coat creates a dark mirror-like appearance. The combination of the design of the V802 and this new finish create a synergy that you would be proud to put on your mod list.
