This owner of this birdhouse was surprised and delighted when I told her bluebirds were hanging out here. ODC: a compound word
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.

First of all, yes i edited the picture, but i needed some rest
Second, if you want to know why i have been so inactive, heres some reasons:
*Flickr is being a slow and buggy bastard, and...
*I have to resign every time i close the browser because Flickr doesnt like Google accounts, furthermore limiting my desire to come here so often.
*People's skills have evolved way beyond mine, and my success is always based on originality...
*...which isnt helped by my lack of ideas
Maybe one day, maybe one day this will be something i pictured when i started making this.

Please try a larger size. You can see its compound eyes clearly.

An amazing bit of evolution. Recently had a play on a VR compound eye simulator and to see through the eyes of a fly made my head spin.
As usual, a single shot handheld out in the wild.
Many thanks to everyone who had taken time to view, fav or comment on my images. Much appreciated.

Another non hdr shot just a little touch up on the light.
100 ish shots with a microfiche viewer lens on extension tubes + bellows focus stacked.
Very shallow depth of focus and quite low contrast mean this has been shopped to death and cropped to get an acceptable image. What to do next with no money?

ONLY ONE PART!
I managed this shot of a male beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) from quite far away using the Sigma 180/3.5 Macro coupled with a 2x teleconverter for total focal length of 360 mm.
But when I got home, I realised that a small house fly (Muscidae sp.) had decided to photo bomb my shot.
Did you notice it before you read this?

We arrived at the research compound and found SGT Krutch deceased--we were a few hours too late. All his tattoos were gone to waste. Shame.
We started taking fire as we approached the gate so we held back to rethink our ingress plan.
This place would challenge us in ways we aren't prepared for.
This Biomax Research compound was thought to have the serum that could reverse the effect of zombification, or provide an anti-body. Unfortunately, despite having these cures, someone from the C.D.C. was blocking the distribution, and Biomax was locked down like Fort Knox.
5987: Dino Research Compound
Not much has really changed with this design. The only thing that has had any major changes is the dual cockpit plane.
I never liked how bare and exposed to the elements the original set version of the research compound was. The 2019 version I made gave more of a secure and lived in design. My personal theory that the actual structure existed some time before Johnny Thunder came to the island.
The plane I changed in comparison to my original design. There aren't any nets on mecabricks, but I've put a small stun-claw in the middle section along with some sleeping gas bombs on the wings.
