Per comporre un paesaggio e raccontare una storia bastano talvolta pochi elementi. Nella Maremma di Grosseto una
ondulazione coltivata a grano, una vecchia e sofferente quercia e una nuvola raccontano una storia antica. Raccontano di una foresta estinta e di generazioni di agricoltori all'aratro, alla semina e alla falce. Raccontano del tempo che sembra essersi fermato e dell'estinzione dei contadini ..... ..
...on a circuit board.
For Macro Mondays: "Small and Smaller" theme, it's a demonstration board from Universal Instruments Corp. that I've had for many years. The company builds automated machines for placing and attaching components--both small and smaller--to circuit boards.
The image measures just 1 5/8-inch on the long side.

Secretary had to make a (minor) repair to his valued old oscilloscope. And when he already had it open on the table, he couldn't help but portray the inside.
I thought that the three components and the wire of this fence represented the past, present and future, connected by our memories, hopes and dreams...😊
Have a wonderful 2016, everyone!
All the very best to you all and thanks so much for your support. It's always much appreciated!
HFF!
HOBBY: Computing, as in building computers, repairing, and any electronics. Never toss an electronic or computing component even if deader than the proverbial doornail. My husband is the expert. I’m trying to learn.
WHAT: Light-emitting diodes (LED) pre-cut (or before sizing) in/on a breadboard. Yes, shallow depth of field. By choice!
FOCAL POINT: Third from left LED in front row.
LIGHTING: Components are in a soft box lighted on two sides by standing Photogenic StudioMax lights triggered by an off-camera SB 800 strobe at 1/64 power.
SIZE: The breadboard (base with holes) measures 2 in / 5.08 cm), and with the negative/unused space equals about 2.5 in / 6.35 cm.
The height including negative/unused space measures 1.75 in / 4.45 cm.
Thanks for looking!
This beast of a fence has wood, barbed wire, heaven metal and other components, too. Visually, it was a kick!

This is the flat and relatively wide area of the pass, which, under the snow, hides the Pramollo lake/Stausee, which is a shallow artificial basin where the water, coming out of the soaked peat bog that characterizes the surrounding land, converges.
Peat is a deep and water-rich soil, with these characteristics it has helped the Spruce (Picea abies or Picea excelsea) to stay quite healthy despite the many dry and extremely hot summers (even at high altitudes).
Elsewhere this tree, a prevalent component of the Siberian taiga and widespread in the inner Alpine valleys, is suffering from parasites and lichens that attack this tree weakened by a soil that has become progressively poorer and too hot in summer.
A high percentage of this species has already died, especially in the sloping areas where water is scarcer, the land more exposed to the sun and generally to the wind that on October 29, 2018 (Vaia/Scirocco Storm) caused a domino effect of these weakened trees, especially between Carnia, Comelico and Cadore.

It is precisely on the slopes that the Spruce/red Fir/Norway Spruce would be most useful, as an anti-landslide, thanks to its ability to root widely and deeply, but the moist and fresh soil it needs is now only found in the valleys with marked thermal inversion or in these high mountain areas where the snow is still abundant and resilient, while peat, as mentioned, is very useful in this case.

To facilitate the arrival of Italian skiers, the Austrian resort helps clear the snow from the small, winding road, that leads to Nassfeld from Pontebba and with its snowcats spreads fresh snow on a cross-country ski run, which is also a pedestrian path, (despite the disagreements...), which makes an 8 in this area, all in Italian territory, and thanks to them, it must be said, this pass is almost always reachable, even in the middle of winter, effectively cleared after a snowstorm and easily walkable and skiable thanks to the compressed snow.
About the 1934 LaSalle
In the 1920’s, General Motors (GM) competed against Ford’s “one size fits all” approach by building “a car for every purse and purpose.” GM’s Cadillac had become the market leader in both prestige and price. The LaSalle, first designed in 1927 by the talented Harley Earl, was the model to fit between the Cadillac and Oldsmobile brands. Following the success of the early LaSalle, Alfred P. Sloan, head of GM, promoted Earl to head a new design office: GM’s “Art and Color Section.” However, success began to wane as the Great Depression wreaked havoc on LaSalle sales.
In 1933 the LaSalle was scheduled for termination. Earl spotted an aircraft-inspired design on the drawing board of Jules Agramonte, a member of the Art and Color team. Immediately motivated, Earl and his team redesigned the LaSalle with new Art Deco features such as the tall, narrow front grill, pontoon fenders, biplane bumpers, portholes, chevrons, and chrome accents. Earl had a full-scale mockup built, and presented it to GM executives, proclaiming, “Gentlemen, if you decide to discontinue the LaSalle, this is the car you are not going to build.” GM quickly agreed to manufacture the beautiful new LaSalle, convinced it would revive sales and add excitement to their product line.
The 1934 LaSalle shared many aspects of its build with the Oldsmobile including, straight-8 engine components, frame, and transmission. Both cars also featured new, hydraulic brakes and a revolutionary independent front suspension, which Cadillac did not yet have. The LaSalle team was tasked with reducing production costs by 1/3 — a feat they achieved by sharing parts across model lines. The LaSalle was a design masterpiece, advertised as “the newest car in the world,” and was the pace car for the 1934 Indianapolis 500. LaSalle sales doubled for 1934 and continued to grow through 1936; however, as the US began to rise from the depths of the Depression, consumer demand trended away from such cars, toward smaller, less expensive brand models. By 1940, GM had finally conceded, cancelling production of the LaSalle.
Ice is water frozen into the solid state. It can appear transparent or opaque bluish-white color, depending on the presence of impurities or air inclusions. The addition of other materials such as soil may further alter the appearance.
Ice appears in nature in forms of snowflakes, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and entire polar ice caps. It is an important component of the global climate, and plays an important role in the water cycle. Furthermore, ice has numerous cultural applications, from ice cooling of drinks to winter sports and the art of ice sculpting.
The molecules in solid ice may be arranged in different ways, called phases, depending on the temperature and pressure. Usually ice is the phase known as ice Ih, which is the most abundant of the varying solid phases on the Earth's surface. The most common phase transition to ice Ih occurs when liquid water is cooled below 0°C (273.15K, 32°F) at standard atmospheric pressure. It can also deposit from vapour with no intervening liquid phase, such as in the formation of frost.
I have wanted to make a Maschinen Krieger themed VicViper S.H.I.P. to hit three theme months in one. This is the result. About 125 studs wide in total. Unlike my last SHIP, I was unable to build a full interior, but I'm quite happy with the results.
P.K.A. Weltraumjäger 03 „Neuntöter“
Schwere Raumjagd- und Unterstützungsmaschine
Developed by the SDR as a heavily armed orbital interceptor and attack craft, the P.K.A. Weltraumjäger 03, known to its crews as the„Neuntöter“, combines the acceleration of a Raumjäger with the firepower of a much larger machine.
A compact armored cockpit hangs beneath the main spaceframe, while widely separated propulsion assemblies give the Neuntöter its distinctive gull-wing silhouette and exceptional maneuverability in orbital and upper-atmospheric operations. Exposed engine plumbing and structural components allow damaged systems to be serviced or replaced rapidly in the field.
Armament is unusually heavy for a single-seat machine. A multi-barrel Gatling cannon serves as the primary weapon against spacecraft, armor, and hardened positions, supplemented by a laser cannon for precision fire. An independent anti-personnel machine gun handles infantry and soft targets, while external hardpoints carry general-purpose bombs for surface attack. This combination makes the Neuntöter equally suited to interception, ground support, and strikes against enemy installations.
The nickname „Neuntöter“ comes from the German name for the red-backed shrike and translates literally as “nine-killer,” a reference to old folklore surrounding the bird's predatory habits. Like its namesake, the Neuntöter is a relatively small predator built to attack prey considerably larger than itself—and carries an assortment of weapons disproportionate to its size.
Typical armament: Gatling cannon · laser cannon · anti-personnel MG · external bombs
Crew: 1
Operator: SDR
Role: Heavy space fighter / interceptor / ground attack

A typical day of railfanning the C&NW... chase an eastbound in low winter light for 50 miles, get to the top of Arcadia Hill, shoot a couple of westbounds, find one you like, and chase him back to Mo Valley. Simpler times...
In the 1970's Union Pacific would add CCS leaders to C&NW trains at Fremont. The story I heard somewhere at work was shortly after the C&NW GP50's were delivered they were equipped with UP CCS components from retired/stored UP DD40's. So these GP50's were a common sight on Overland Route trains east of North Platte thru the early 1990's until being bumped by UP Dash 8's and SD60/60M deliveries that were dual equipped with CCS and ATC. I never got tired of shooting GP50's as the MoPac fleet was a daily sight when I was in Texarkana.

This photo is part of a new series. I know, it's about time. Several years ago while shooting my Parking Deck project, I photographed some benches here and there and was on the lookout for them, but never considered doing a series. Benches are not common in parking decks. After all, people park their cars there; they don't go to sit and lounge around. Last year, a FLICKR friend, Werner (www.flickr.com/photos/96980838@N04/), suggested that I do a series on benches. I dismissed the idea but it remained in the back of my mind. Then recently I decided, why not? I discovered that while benches are everywhere, those interesting enough for photography are hard to find. There are charming, quirky, and ornamental benches enough to fill volumes. But it is not just the bench that matters, it's the setting. I was looking for locations where the bench is just one element among other interesting components, some times only one other thing, yielding a minimalist composition, other times a layered scene with many parts. Both of these, I discovered, are rare. So, the result is a short series --- something novel from me. A short, attentive series, I hope --- an experiment in quiet narratives, negative space, color and light and shadow.
To see more in this series, check out Benches.

These components are essential for recognizing an object as a teapot. However, some teapots are so abstract or expressive that they only evoke the idea of a teapot.
Deze onderdelen zijn essentieel om een object als theepot te herkennen. Sommige theepotten zijn echter zo abstract of expressief voorgegeven dat ze alleen nog maar refereren aan het idee van een theepot.
Diese Bestandteile sind wesentlich, um ein Objekt als Teekanne zu erkennen. Manche Teekannen sind jedoch so abstrakt oder ausdrucksstark, dass sie die Vorstellung einer Teekanne nur erahnen lassen.
Ces éléments sont essentiels pour identifier une théière. Cependant, certaines théières sont si abstraites ou expressives qu’elles n’évoquent plus que l’idée même de théière.

The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències; Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the most relevant in Spain.
The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project underwent the first stages of construction in July 1996 and the finished "city" was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric. The last great component of the City of Arts and Sciences, El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, was presented on October 9, 2005, Valencian Community Day.

A reboot with new data of a target I have previously looked at.
The previous target was pretty but I felt it lacked all the detail the target had to offer so added an additional 30 HA subs from the RH to help realise that. Small percentages but makes a lot of difference when reviewed in detail.
It also allowed me to resolve the ICC mismatch issues my PC suffered after recent updates which caused all sorts of issues on my last image!
NGC 7822 is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex encompasses the emission region designated Sharpless 171, and the young cluster of stars named Berkeley 59. The complex is believed to be some 800-1000 pc distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45000 K and a luminosity ~100000 times that of the Sun.

Eros, Philia y Ágape
----------------------
Los tres componentes del amor
En la mitología griega, Eros (en griego antiguo Ἔρως) era el dios primordial responsable de la atracción sexual, el amor y el sexo, Eros es ganas por el otro.
philia es un cultismo del griego: φιλία, Amistad. Proyectos de vida en común, sintonía
Ágape procede del latín agăpe, nos lleva a un vocablo griego que puede traducirse como “amor” o “afecto, cuidado por el otro y la ternura.
Química es manejar estos tres elementos en la proporción que les da la gana a la pareja. Lo importante es que no le falte ninguno de los tres.
Por último Sí puede haber admiración sin amor pero no puede haber amor sin admiración

Migmatites have undergone partial melting with one or more minerals in a liquid state (usually the lightly colored feldspar and quartz) and the rest (dark colored minerals) remaining in a solid to semi-solid state. These two components are mixed to form a migmatite. Here, both metamorphism and mixing are the result of subducting oceanic mud sediment from the passive margin of ancient North America into an oceanic trench, exposing the mud both to heat and pressure. This happened about 1.7 billion years ago.
This is a amphibolitic migmatite, about 100cm across
Abbaiava furiosamente vedendoci passare nella stradina sottostante e sembrava volersi buttare giù dal muro. Faceva veramente un po' paura.
Nella parte bassa del giardino altri due cani di grossa taglia e scuri ( all'apparenza lupi ) abbaiavano anch'essi con aria feroce slanciandosi contro le sbarre di ferro della recinzione.
Poi è successo un incidente : un componente del gruppo si è avvicinato troppo con un braccio al cancello e i cani l'hanno azzannato.
Io per fortuna ero avanti e non ho visto la scena, però ho poi visto la camicia strappata, due buchi profondi e molto sangue.
Speriamo che ad Alberto vada tutto bene. Gli hanno disinfettato le ferite e poi non so se si sia recato in un ospedale per prevenire eventuali infezioni

Full writeup here: theastroenthusiast.com/arp-274-from-hubble/
To celebrate my 18th birthday, I decided to process one of my favorite Hubble images! This was taken back in 2009 to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy by WFPC2. Given that it was taken by such a low-sensitivity sensor, this image actually had a whole lot of noise to deal with. I spent a while carefully removing hot pixels and cosmic rays to make the image look better. In case you’re wondering what exactly you’re looking at, here’s a little explanation about the galaxies:
Arp 274 is a system of three galaxies that appear to be partially overlapping in the image, although they may be at somewhat different distances. The spiral shapes of two of these galaxies appear mostly intact. The third galaxy at far left is more compact, but shows evidence of star formation. Two of the three galaxies are forming new stars at a high rate. This is evident in the bright blue knots of star formation that are strung along the arms of the galaxy on the right and along the small galaxy on the left. The largest component is located in the middle of the three. It appears as a spiral galaxy, which may be barred. The entire system resides at about 400 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The colours in this image reflect the intrinsic colour of the different stellar populations that make up the galaxies. Yellowish older stars can be seen in the central bulge of each galaxy. A bright central cluster of stars pinpoint each nucleus. Younger blue stars trace the spiral arms, along with pinkish nebulae that are illuminated by new star formation. Interstellar dust is silhouetted against the starry population. The pair of foreground stars on the right are inside our own Milky Way.
