The Markarian Chain is a physical structure composed of numerous galaxy clusters that extends for several million light-years in space. This chain is known for the presence of numerous active galaxies that emit large amounts of radiation across different wavelengths, from X-rays to radio waves.
One of the most notable objects within the Markarian Chain is the galaxy Messier 87 (also known as M87), located at the center of the Virgo Supercluster. M87 is a massive elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center that emits a jet of matter at very high speeds, forming a "tube" of luminous matter that extends for thousands of light-years in space.
This jet of matter is one of the most powerful and well-studied in the universe, and its interaction with the surrounding intergalactic medium has various implications for galaxy formation and supercluster dynamics. The Markarian Chain and Messier 87 are therefore both objects of great interest to astronomers and astrophysicists studying the formation and evolution of galaxies and cosmic structures on a large scale.

La Catena Markarian è una struttura fisica composta da numerosi ammassi di galassie che si estende per diversi milioni di anni luce nello spazio. Questa catena è nota per la presenza di numerose galassie attive che emettono grandi quantità di radiazioni su diverse lunghezze d'onda, dai raggi X alle onde radio.
Uno degli oggetti più importanti all'interno della Catena Markarian è la galassia Messier 87 (conosciuta anche come M87), situata al centro del Superammasso della Vergine. M87 è una massiccia galassia ellittica con al centro un buco nero supermassiccio che emette un getto di materia ad altissima velocità, formando un “tubo” di materia luminosa che si estende per migliaia di anni luce nello spazio.
Questo getto di materia è uno dei più potenti e ben studiati dell’universo, e la sua interazione con il mezzo intergalattico circostante ha varie implicazioni per la formazione delle galassie e le dinamiche dei superammassi. La Catena Markarian e Messier 87 sono quindi entrambi oggetti di grande interesse per astronomi e astrofisici che studiano la formazione e l'evoluzione delle galassie e delle strutture cosmiche su larga scala.

This is the chain roller for the main engine drive chain. Can also see the bottom bracket with the bearings still in it.

CAMP ZAMA, Japan — Hundreds of American and Japanese service members, civilians and their families gathered under the partly sunny sky over Camp Zama to celebrate the conclusion of Army Birthday Week with a culmination of sports, competitions and ceremonies conducted June 17, 2016.
The fifth and final day of outdoor activities opened with a command-wide fun run hosted by Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette, commanding general, U.S. Army Japan (USARJ). Pasquarette’s open invitation permitted the men and women in uniform to bring their friends and loved ones. The result produced an amusing mixture of organized ranks and files of service members running in cadence with a colorful cast of spouses, children, baby strollers and small dogs trotting along the flanks.
Regardless their age, size, speed, creed or breed, every participant ended the two-mile route soaked from head to toe compliments of the Camp Zama Directorate of Emergency Services’ firetruck salute.
Later that morning, the community gathered at the Camp Zama High School stadium to join or cheer their respective units in the Camp Zama Army Birthday Week Championship finals. Hundreds of spectators set their eyes on the track to watch some of the post’s fastest sprinters attempt to break their personal best in the 100-meter dash. The attendees’ gaze then shifted to the field to witness a friendly soccer match between Camp Zama’s U.S. Soccer Team and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’s Central Readiness Force (CRF). The 30-minute see-saw battle ended with a 3-2 penalty shootout that clenched victory for the red, white and blue.
Between the match the U.S. Army and CRF’s strongest troops squared off in a best-of-three tug-of-war competition at the 50-yard line. After the U.S. team literally pulled a win in the final round, the troops gave way for the children of Camp Zama to take a tug on the rope.
The physical prowess and playful banter among the teams gave way to solemn pride as Pasquarette led 14 Soldiers in reciting the Oath of Enlistment during a mass reenlistment ceremony that honored their decision to voluntarily extend their service to their country and the United States Army.
The festivities concluded with an award presentation that recognized the winners of the 2016 USARJ Army Sports Week Competition. U.S. Army Aviation Battalion took first place, while the 78th Signal Battalion and the U.S. Army Medical Activity-Japan earned second and third place, respectively.
Pasquarette and Army Command Sgt. Maj. Richard R. Clark, command sergeant major, USARJ, also recognized other notable individuals and organizations that recently demonstrated the honor and pride of the Camp Zama community.
Fara McKinley, president of the Zama Community Spouses Association, received an award for her association’s donation of water bottles for the competitors and spectators. USARJ also recognized Shinobu Matsui, general manager of the Camp Zama Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), for earning the Director/CEO Cup, the highest honor for operational excellence among all AAFES chains in the “Small Exchange” category.
Pasquarette and Clark also presented certificates, medals or trophies to the U.S. Army Japan Band for winning the 2016 Music Performance Team of the Year award, Army Sgt. Drew Ayers and Army Spc. Lucas Patron for their selection as the 2016 USARJ Best Warrior Noncommissioned Officer and Soldier of the Year, and Sheyenne Sullivan for her exemplary performance in her assistance to displaced evacuees effected by April’s earthquakes in Kumamoto, Japan.

Expect a bunch of industrial, rusty bits and pieces. I was so excited when I discovered them hidden next to the Maritime Museum. As I've confessed before, I love rusty objects.
Here's a shot of the cam chain finally threaded under the main drive gear within the lower end. It took threading two guitar strings through the ends of each side of the cam chain, then creating a loop on on end, bending it around, then feeding it deep underneath and grabbing it on the other end with a hooked tool.
Of course, the cam chain roller (in between the two pistons). Removed by two 10mm bolts.
This entire process was very tricky in the sense that it took four synchronized hands all working together in unison to handle start to finish.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by the English Engineer William Tierney Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary, and was opened in 1849.
It is anchored on the Pest side of the river to Széchenyi (formerly Roosevelt) Square, adjacent to the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square, near the Zero Kilometre Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle.

I love the textures on the old chains that are found scattered around the harbours.
I have been playing with DoF this holiday and tried to pay attention to detail and texture.

Out on a bright contrasty day isn't a good idea for landscapes so tried to find something a little different to photograph.

The English engineer William Tierney Clark was chosen by Hungarian Count István Széchenyi to build this 666-foot span over the Danube at Budapest. The Széchenyi or Chain Bridge was completed in 1849 and restored after being heavily damaged in World War II.
