A fancy apartment building on Worthing seafront.
The white railings against a dark background reminded me of industrial machine belts.
Kinda creepy, but also kinda cool at the same time. They move, make noise and light up. Bits and pieces of this and that.

Even though steel production has been relatively stable for last 30 years in U.S., labor has decreased by 42% due to automation, leaving towns like Gary, Indiana with neighborhoods like this.
Created in DDG Text 2 Dream using its "Artistic" Ai model.
Filters: PS Beta 2023, Topaz Sharpen Ai, Topaz Studio.
A bit of hand painting.
This began as all hot pink. I used the "Adjustments" tab set of filters in PS to bring in green/lilac tones, then added several layers of "difference" or "exclusion" on top. The final saturation and texture modifications are multiple Topaz Studio looks. I'm guessing that this is about 20 layers in total.
Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.

Kinda creepy, but also kinda cool at the same time. Bits and pieces of things, put together so they move, make noises and flash lights. But probably not for the kids.

The headquarters of Rockwell Automation in Milwaukee, WI features two large industrial buildings, connected by a six-story skywalk and crowned with what was for 50 years the world's largest four-sided clock.
Automate the observatory with two telescopes is much more difficult than with one.
Here I'm imaging NGC 891 with both telescopes and then the humidity reaches the maximum threshold, so both mounts get parked and the roof is closed.
A used Dutch postage stamp issued in 1962 to commemorate the completion of the automation of the national telephone network in the Netherlands. The modern red-and-white abstract design symbolizes telephone switching technology and communication progress during the early 1960s.

The Albert Kahn designed Ford Model T Plant. Starting place of the mass production assembly line one turning out over nine thousand vehicles at its peak and raising standards of living for those fortunate enough to find work there.
This amazing bit of automation is made exclusively for The Coca-Cola Corporation by a division of the Ferrari Corporation of Italy. Yes, THAT Ferrari Corporation. And it costs more than $35,000.
On the front body panel is a screen that allows you to order the Coca-Cola product that you desire. This may not sound like much until you realize that worldwide Coca-Cola has a menu of well over 200 flavors. [This machine is capable of producing just a small number of Coke products as this is limited to the American market.]
So, automation is making deeper inroads into the fast food industry. Now, as workers/unions make more significant demands the response from management will be more and more automation. Further, I fear that day is on the horizon when machines will dispense the beverages, operator-less super machines will cook the food to order, a robot will read your mind and pass out menu assignments to automated kitchen robot workers, and a money managing robot will liaise with your financial institution to get paid for your meal.
“Progress” such as this scenario suggests is well on its way. At some future point in time each fast food franchise will require only one person and that will be the dude needed to clean the toilets.
The second prototype for my latest Mindstorms project, which will hopefully become an automatic LEGO mosaic printer.

The latest update to my LEGO Mindstorms printer project, with the scanning functionality all working.
I'm not sure I can really call this a prototype anymore, since it is pretty much fully functional, but there is still work to do.

A pair of R188 trains approach 111th St station on the Flushing Line. The (7) train at left is operating under automatic train control on the CBTC-equipped main track, and the out-of-service one at right is (to my knowledge) being operated manually by the yard operator into the pocket track. This also explains the difference in speed between the two trains, as the one at right was creeping along very slowly and the one at left was easily going three times as fast! It was quite lucky that they met in the clear space where they did!

Random Trivia: In order to make the minifig hold the remote, I had to carve off the lower part of his hand. Also... the liquid in the mug is actually beer.
