"What is the meaning of life? That was all, a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark."

A shore view of Cloch Lighthouse, located between Gourock and Weymss Bay on the Firth of Clyde. Designed by Smith and Stevenson, it was built in 1796. The light was originally powered by an acetylene flame, but it is now automated and unmanned and is part of a private dwelling. {better large}

Union Pacific work train takes the weekend off, tied down on the center siding at Echo, Utah on June 26, 2021. The 30-car train is a Herzog Automated Conveyor Train, designed to distribute up to 2,900 tons of ballast and other materials on curved track. It had been used the previous day along Main No. 2 near Devils Slide.
The name Cape Disappointment comes from British explorer John Meares, who named it in 1788 after he mistakenly thought the mouth of the Columbia River was a bay. The bar has sunk over 2,000 large ships and is often called the graveyard of the Pacific. The 53 foot tall lighthouse was constructed in 1856. It was electrified in 1927 and automated in 1937. Another house was built to enable the Coast Guard to monitor ship traffic. Life saving efforts begun in the 1870's by the light keepers led to the establishment of a Coast Guard base.

Remember the electric typewriter that had the IBM letter ball? This mechanism reminded me of the fascinating bit of engineering that went into making that ball work with incredible speed and accuracy.

Mass produced to transport supplies and energy cores to outlying settlements and mining facilities. Due to lack of a willing population to make the lengthy and treacherous journey to outposts beyond the 40th parallel, the fleet was self-driving.
While in Bryce Canyon teaching a workshop this last weekend I wanted to try out an idea I've had for a very long time, automated tracked Nightscape imaging. I didn't have enough time to collect the foreground images, but I at least wanted to put together a bit of a test for the sky sequence. Luckily the ASIAir Pro has developed a new plan module which allows importing a mosaic from Telescopius, this allowed me to create a mosaic with the 2600mc Pro and my Voigtlander 50mm APO lens that would cover pretty much the entire arch. I waited a little too long to start the plan (waiting for the moon to set) so the plan ended up only covering a portion of the horizon, in the future I'll arrange the panel order to cover the entire horizon. The AAP controls everything (including slewing and centering the mount on each panel)! Only one panel failed, the target centering coordinates were below the horizon by the time I got to it and it couldn't execute that panel.
This plan is a 35 panel mosaic, each panel is a single 2 minute exposure at gain 100 and f2.5 with my ASI2600mc Pro and Voigtlander 50mm APO lens on a Sky Watcher AZ-GTi mount. Calibrated with a master bias and master flat, edited in PixInsight and Photoshop. We had some pretty crazy airglow that night which made color balancing and stitching a challenge, it moved pretty quick so getting the panels to stitch together evenly was a lot of work!

The automated book storage system consists of hundreds of metal boxes, retrieved by an automated module and brought to librarians on a mezzanine at the far end (glimpsed in reflection at the top). Each drawer is tightly packed with books. My inner librarian mourns the inability to scan the books on a shelf, to feel the paper, cloth, and leather, smell the dust and words. But it rejoices at the sheer hoarding glory, like a dragon on its treasure trove, and loves the tidy orderliness of the room.
The Milwaukee Pierhead Light is an active lighthouse located in the Milwaukee harbor, just south of downtown. This aid to navigation is a 'sister' of the Kenosha North Pier Light. The station was established in 1872. It is west of the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and is near the outflow of the Milwaukee River—not far east of where that river converged with the Kinnickinnic River—into the Milwaukee Harbor and Lake Michigan. This light has a round steel tower with a round gallery and a ten-sided lantern. In 1926, the original 4th Order Fresnel lens was transferred to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and that lens is now displayed at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The Fifth Order Fresnel lens—installed in 1926—was removed in 2005. The tower is newly painted circa 2007. The 5th Order lens is said to be on display also at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. According to one source: "The original lantern room had helical bar windows and is believed to [be] the one presently on the Breakwater Light." This is corroborated by the report that the Breakwater Light has a "round cast iron lantern room [that] features helical astragal" in the lantern. A Submarine cable runs from this light to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, upon which a lighted danger warning is displayed. The light was recently painted, circa 2007. From 1872 until 1926, the light had its own keepers. Thereafter, this light, like all of the lights in the harbor, was serviced by the resident Lighthouse keepers who were stationed at the neighboring North Point Light Station until it was automated. The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 2012.

A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks and safe entries to harbors; they also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and use of electronic navigational systems.
This electric automated piano was in the Atlanta airport. Notice the tip jar...but there is no piano player!
Surprised to see this view on my phone in my album on Flickr. Automated design in flickr mobile app that I had nothing to do with but which works for me. Screenshot from a train…
A Union Pacific RBL rests at North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 30, 1977. It was fresh from a rebuild and repaint in Pocatello, Idaho. The BI-70-10 box cars were insulated, 70-ton RBLs built by GATC in 1967 (490500-490699 series). They were standard RBLs with cushioned under frames, roller-bearing trucks, and loader-equipped with 10'-6" flush doors. The series were used to haul paper, canned goods, plywood, and particle board.

In countless big cities across the Galactic Federation, especially in hive-cities with complex system of highways and smaller roads, the problem of traffic congestion and a high number of accidents is especially acute. So in some those cities personal cars was replaced by an automatic taxi system. It is made up of millions of public cabs that do not require a driver to operate and can operate on dedicated traffic lines as well as on numerous small branches off major highways.
These electric vehicles do not have a rear or front and move in both directions equally quickly, which greatly simplifies city traffic and does not waste time on turning. Also, the salon is pressurized and even has life support systems, thanks to which these cabs can be used in cities with the most unfavorable ecology or on the surface of planets where there is no breathable atmosphere. Due to the fact that all cabs are controlled by automatics and connected to a single network, the accident rate of this type of transport is minimized.
P.S. Only after hour long rendering I noticed that cars "levitating" above the ground. And I'm too lazy to re-render it. :P

This once-proud boxcar shows the pride that railroad's once put into their images. Once upon a time, it was about more than the price attached to a carload shipment.

The New Transit Yurikamome is an automated and unmanned guideway transit service linking central Tokyo and the Rinkai waterfront area in a futuristic way.
This was taken at Great Hollow lake as the sun was setting. I bracketed 3 shots and combined them in Photoshop in Automate. I used the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 ll and CP filter.
I love how that one ray looks like a beam of light directed into the water.
