Picked some colorful leaves from the park yesterday. Most were withering and with decaying spots. Couldn't come up with a good shot with those but they made colorful background for this back lit image of southern shield fern.

An extreme macro shot of this interesting orange fly in my backyard that shows off it's wonderfully complex compound eyes.
Taken 6 June 2023 near Wasilla, Alaska.

So, uhhhmm...
I actually started this moc about half a year, back in Summer 2015. Since then I've changes a few details, for example, I never had those clips with a hole in black, etc.
But here it is, my Second Transformer. Does fully transform, the only part that needs to be moved is the horn.
These apartment compounds are everywhere in Budapest, but having a friends that knows where all the good ones are is the best!
Water is your body's principal chemical component, making up, on average, 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.
Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water. If you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce 1.5 liters (6.3 cups) or more of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate.
You may need to modify your total fluid intake depending on how active you are, the climate you live in, your health status, and if you're pregnant or breast-feeding.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments however, awards and invites aren't necessary.

1309 is a Mallet articulated locomotive. This design was a compound locomotive where steam was expanded once in smaller rear cylinders and the exhaust captured and expanded a second time in larger lower-pressure front cylinders. Compound locomotives are more efficient than single-expansion machines,

Following the directives given to us by our superiors, we geared up for our hunt into the jungles. According to intel from spies off world, there was to be a gathering of those objecting to the Empire’s expansion plans in the system. Politics never seems to bore more than anything and this was sizing up to be another one of those bureaucratic nightmares. Although there are issues we troopers have with the current reasonings we were sent to Sesid, they were orders and there was still progress being done to improve the lives of citizens in areas of the galaxy, including this one, that had been forgotten by the powers of the past. Those who went unnoticed were lifted up and given purpose to help serve a cause that benefits the collective, rather than the higher tables. That being said, even those pure of heart, still have influences from those that look out for their own hind. Not that I blame them, you have to watch yourself, especially in the current climate, both physically on planet and politically. Making our way through the swampy waters & thick vegetation of these tropical forests, we came across the slight fortifications around the compound which we were targeting. Some simple charges in the wall were all that we needed to breach and move in. Within minutes, we made our way through the maze of gardens to acquire our grand prize. - Bandana Clone
One of the few creations I haven’t posted here to Flickr just yet that I’m just getting around to. This one was part of the Sesid Series that I started several months ago. Is more built for story than looks, but it’s got it where it counts.
There is a video where I talk more about the creation over on Beyond The Brick.

Midland Railway Compound 4-4-0 no.1000 is pictured near Castleton on 28th September 1983 working a private charter from York to Rochdale via Hebden Bridge.
Little vig, showing a lone smuggler truck making its way to the fortified star port on the phoenix colony.
With an impressive column of steam Compound 41090 is leaving Birmingham New Street with a semi-fast train. The tender is full of coal and on top of that coal are the fire irons, to me they look further back from the footplate than I would expect and also rather precariously balanced too.
The old Midland station roof is still in place and the signal is a square wooden post.
This picture (and the rest of this batch) is from Peters 33mm square negatives, the camera had an excellent lens but Peter's habit of pushing his luck with the light did mean the negatives are grainier than we would expect, I think he push-processed the film.
41090 was built for the LMS (1090), the 4-4-0 H. Fowler designed compound was built at Horwich Works, it entered service in July 1925. 41090 was withdrawn 20/12/1958 at Derby. When Peter took this picture, the locomotive was based at Derby (17A) and had 37 days of active service life left.

This compound of dwellings sits on Gravina Island in Alaska. The island is 21 miles long and has a population of 50 people. The only access is by boat.
Interestingly, the state of Alaska applied for federal funding for a bridge in 2005 to connect the island to the mainland and the town of Ketchikan. The projected cost was $398 million dollars. The proposed bridge was quickly dubbed as "The Bridge to Nowhere" and became the poster child for unnecessary pork barrel spending. The project was eventually cancelled and the bridge has never been built.
I wonder if it was a relief to the residents. It seems like the kind of place where isolation may be a cherished value.

Opened in 1894, Tower Bridge was one of the finest examples of the practical application of steam-generated hydraulic power. It was initially equipped with two compound steam engines, one of which is seen above, preserved as an exhibit for those touring the bridge today.
The roadway sections of the bridge that open weigh over 1,000 tons. To open the bridge in a smooth, controlled manner took a considerable amount of power.
The engines were located in the vaulted engine house on the south side of the River Thames. Each engine drove two sets of hydraulic ram pumps which forced water into hydraulic accumulators. The water was stored at a pressure of 750 psi, ready to be delivered through a system of pipes to the eight hydraulic engines. There were four on each side and they were located in the bases of the two main towers of the bridge.
As with most Victorian plant, there was plenty of spare capacity. The bridge could be opened using only one of the steam engines and two hydraulic engines.
A cog wheel on the main shaft of the hydraulic engine engaged in a quadrant attached to the bascules, so effecting the lift. For one descent of the plunger in the accumulator, the bridge could be opened and closed twice. Thus when the bridge was opened infrequently, an engine only needed to work intermittently. On busy days, one steam engine would be kept running continuously at 10–15 rpm, keeping the accumulator topped up at all times.
A third steam engine was added to the arrangement in 1941. When the bridge was converted to electrical power in 1974, this third engine was removed to the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum in Norfolkshire where it can still be seen today.
The engine and room are very colourful, but I felt that this distracted from some of the engineering detail, hence the monochrome image above.
