...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.

CaixaFòrum, Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, València, España.
La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències es un complejo arquitectónico, cultural y de entretenimiento de la ciudad de Valencia, capital de la Comunidad Valenciana, España.
El complejo, de estilo neofuturista, fue diseñado por Santiago Calatrava y Félix Candela. Fue inaugurado el 9 de junio de 1998 con la apertura de El Hemisférico. El último gran componente de la Ciudad es el Ágora, situado entre el puente de l'Assut de l'Or y l'Oceanogràfic.
La Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències está situada al final del viejo cauce del río Turia (jardín del Turia), cauce que se convirtió en jardín en los años 1980, tras el desvío del río por la gran riada de Valencia en 1957. En 2007, fue uno de los ganadores del concurso 12 Tesoros de España.
The City of Arts and Sciences is an architectural, cultural, and entertainment complex in the city of Valencia, capital of the Valencian Community, Spain.
The neo-futurist-style complex was designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. It was inaugurated on June 9, 1998, with the opening of El Hemisférico. The last major component of the City is the Ágora, located between the Puente de l'Assut de l'Or and the Oceanogràfic.
The City of Arts and Sciences is located at the end of the old Turia River bed (Turia Garden), a bed that was converted into a garden in the 1980s after the river was diverted during the great Valencia flood of 1957. In 2007, it was one of the winners of the 12 Treasures of Spain competition.
Yahtzee has been played in our family over generations. We haven't played for years but I found the game in the back of a cupboard. Apart from the smell of moth balls, it still had some old scorecards from way back when.

A pencil lead consists of a part graphite and a part clay. The hardness of a pencil is determined by the composition of these components. Pencils with a lot of clay and little graphite have a higher hardness than pencils with little clay and a lot of graphite.
Pencils have codes that indicate the hardness. HB is an average office pencil. 9H is very hard (a lot of clay and little graphite) and 9B is very soft (a lot of graphite and little clay).
Pencils with a high degree of hardness are extremely suitable for very fine drawing, with thin lines such as technical drawing. The softer pencils are especially popular among artists for sketching, for example for creating shadows and dark areas.

As previously mentioned, the 74th members Meeting at Goodwood this year featured a number of Porsche 917's both on display and doing demonstration laps round the circuit. Quite possibly the most iconic of these is the Gulf liveried 917 that featured in the Steve McQueen film Le Mans. At the 74MM there were 3 917's that were shown in the Gulf livery, including this car, chassis 917-031, which forms part of the Rofgo Collection of Gulf Liveried cars.
The Porsche 917 was designed by Hans Mezger, chief engineer at Porsche. The car was built using a light spaceframe chassis that was pressurised with gas to detect cracks in the welding. Hans Mezger designed the original 4.5ltr V12 engine, which used two Porsche 2.25ltr flat-6 engines mated together. The gearbox, mounted longitudinally, was designed to take a set of four or five gears as dictated by the circuit and conditions. To ensure that the size of the car remained compact, the driver actually sits with feet positioned ahead of the front axle.
The 917 made use of components made of titanium and magnesium to provide strength and lightness, while the the gear knob was made from balsa wood. One of the clever techniques used to save weight was to put the oil through to the front cooler via the tubular spaceframe chassis itself rather than adding independent pipework that would add weight and complexity.
The Porsche 917 ran in the 1969, 1970 and 1971 World Sportscar Championship. Initially it was described as being incredibly unstable, using all the road at speed by factory driver Brian Redman. When suspension modifications did not resolve the issue, it was found that the long tail was creating an amount of lift not seen in sports racing before. As the 917 was significantly faster than anything that had run at Le Mans before, the aerodynamic lift was a new experience for the teams involved in this kind of racing.
Interestingly, the works racers at the time preferred the Porsche 908 due to its stability, especially on the more complex and technical tracks. This however caused a problem for Porsche who had a surplus of 917's to sell and so wanted to continue promoting the car. To do this they initially approached BMW and asked for their drivers Hubert Hahne and Dieter Quester to compete in the 917 at the 1000km Nurburgring, but after initial testing BMW refused. This led Porsche to turn to Englishman David Piper and Australian Frank Gardner, but they struggled to finish in 8th place whereas the Porsche Team entry of six 908's finished in the top 5 places.
At the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, the inexperienced privateer and British gentleman-driver John Woolfe crashed and was killed when his Porsche 917 came off the track at Maison Blanche on the opening lap.

Año Nuevo Chino 2026, Fort Pienc, Barcelona.
La celebración del año nuevo chino se celebra desde hace ya diez años y ha arraigado con fuerza en la ciudad, donde viven más de 20.200 personas de origen chino. La china, es de hecho la cuarta nacionalidad más grande residente en la ciudad de Barcelona. El dinamismo de su tejido asociativo y el componente intercultural de la celebración del año nuevo, que comparten numerosas entidades de los barrios de la ciudad, lo ha convertido en una cita muy señalada en el calendario festivo barcelonés.
The celebration of the Chinese New Year has been celebrated for ten years and has become firmly established in the city, where more than 20,200 people of Chinese origin live. Chinese is in fact the fourth largest nationality residing in the city of Barcelona. The dynamism of its associative fabric and the intercultural component of the New Year celebration, which is shared by numerous entities in the city's neighborhoods, has made it a very important event in the Barcelona festive calendar.
In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.
"Complexity characterises the behaviour of a system or model whose components interact in multiple ways and follow local rules, leading to non-linearity, randomness, collective dynamics, hierarchy, and emergence.
The term is generally used to characterize something with many parts where those parts interact with each other in multiple ways, culminating in a higher order of emergence greater than the sum of its parts. The study of these complex linkages at various scales is the main goal of complex systems theory.
The intuitive criterion of complexity can be formulated as follows: a system would be more complex if more parts could be distinguished, and if more connections between them existed." (WP)
"La complexité caractérise le comportement d'un système ou d'un modèle dont les composants interagissent de multiples manières et suivent des règles locales, conduisant à la non-linéarité, au hasard, à la dynamique collective, à la hiérarchie et à l'émergence.
Le terme est généralement utilisé pour caractériser quelque chose comportant de nombreuses parties, où ces parties interagissent les unes avec les autres de multiples manières, aboutissant à un ordre d'émergence supérieur supérieur à la somme de ses parties. L’étude de ces liens complexes à différentes échelles constitue l’objectif principal de la théorie des systèmes complexes.
Le critère intuitif de complexité peut être formulé ainsi : un système serait plus complexe si plus de parties pouvaient être distinguées et s'il existait plus de connexions entre elles. » (WP)
It is the component of tension and uncertainty which excites me everytime again, when I go out with the camera. Not seldom I find myself in a world full of miracles. Mostly unexpected and always unique.

Bagan, located on the banks of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River, is home to the largest and densest concentration of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins in the world with many dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. The shape and construction of each building is highly significant in Buddhism with each component part taking on spiritual meaning.
With regards to tour comparison between this immense archeological site and the other significant archeological gem of Southeast Asia, the Angkor sites, this analogy may be helpful:
Angkor ruins are like a Chinese Lauriat banquet where food is presented in spectacular servings with a suspenseful wait between items which are hidden beneath curtains of forests. On the other hand, Bagan is served in Spanish Tapas style, the ingredients exposed to the customer and shown in small bite-size servings, with the next attraction close and visible at hand, in shorter intervals.
Another analogy between Angkor and Bagan Sites when distinguishing temple structures is through their stupa and spire shapes.
What makes the temples look romantic is the process of graceful aging. For some reason, there are no windbreakers around as shown by the barren, desert-dry mountain range to the west past the river, spinning occasional micro twisters that spawn loose dust particles everywhere from the eroded earth to the structures. This phenomenon had peeled off so much the stucco coating of the temples to reveal the brick structural blocks with its rusty, reddish, and sometimes golden brown-like patina when hit by the sun's rays.
Erosion is a significant threat to this area, not only the wind chipping away the buildings' plastering but also water from the mighty Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River threatens the riverbanks. The strong river current has already washed away half of the area of Old Bagan. It used to be a rectangular-shaped piece of enclave protected by a perimeter wall. Now what remains is roughly the triangular eastern half part.
Other images of Bagan which make a lasting impression to tourists aside from the spire-fringed skyline; stupas sporting that tumbledown look yet crowned with glitter-studded golden miter-like sikaras; the ubiquitous pair of ferocious stone lions flanking a temple's door; the spiky and lacy eave fascia woodcarvings lining a monastery's ascending tiers of roofs; tall palmyras or toddy palms with willowy trunks, bougainvilleas, exotic cotton trees, and the likes bringing life to the arid landscape and abandoned ruins; squirrels playfully and acrobatically scampering on the walls and pediments of temples; horse drawn carriages lazily carrying drop-jawed tourists; sleepy moving grandfather's bullock carts grinding on a dust-choked trail; not to mention the garbage left around, stray dogs loitering, longyi clad men spitting betel chews in copious amounts everywhere, overgrown weeds and the pestering dust.

Mi ritrovavo un sacco di componenti elettronici perché feci la pazzia di comprare un robot a fascicoli settimanali..
Anche se di elettronica non capisco una mazza, mi hanno sempre affascinato. Eccone un possibile riutilizzo..
Ho poggiato una lastra di vetro su una foto di un mio profilo e ho piazzato i componenti.

A team finishes assembly of GR7-b Single-Operator Repair Pod. Component pallettes were brought directly off of elevator cars at Geo1 and into the assembly bays. When construction is complete, the doors comprising the outer-facing half of the bay will be opened and the GR7-b will be towed out.
I had a blast making this particular scene. I have several types of wall panels in here that I wanted to contrast in style but still flow together and I am very happy with the result. I tried to fill up the non-door walls of the bay with equipment and I found a couple cool parts and techniques in my efforts.
For the most part, the bay is actually fully finished and I may post slightly different angles without the GR7 in the way as there are a couple of things hiding behind it. Also, I will post more renders with the GR7 but I have to find a reasonable angle for it as the front canopy would look a lot better with some custom stickers.
And the Guadalupe is basically complete save for a bow operations room and a few other details.
