One of the compressors onboard HMS Alliance, the only surviving WW2 british submarine, preserved at the Naval Submarine Museum in Gosport, near Portsmouth, Hampshire.

A few months ago a photo club member posted an image of this fence from a different angle. She was gracious enough to share it's location. I first photoed it on a sunny day, there were real contrast problems with splotches of light & shadow. I later went back on a overcast day & got it with more even lighting. Then there was a low snow day, it's up about 4500'. I went back the morning the snow stopped. I have other pictures that show the snow a bit better but I like the way the bicycles show from this angle. I met the woman who's house this fronts, she plans to add to it as bicycles become available. Just a quirk for her living in the mountains.

Friends, this is the face that goes with the name Katharine Hanna. My partner and caregiver Charles has posted an appeal on the crowd-sourcing website GoFundMe for assistance with expenses related to my incurable respiratory failure. Details are explained there. Here is the link:
www.gofundme.com/care-for-katharine
This is a paragraph from that page: “I need help to live so I'm reaching out to you. I want to live as fully as I can for as long as I can, God willing—and, if my energy allows, to continue making and sharing images of beauty. Recently my focus shifted radically from preparing to die soon to being open to improved energy, comfort, and productivity. At 5 feet 8 inches, I weigh 92 pounds and have extreme shortness of breath and weakness. I am oxygen-dependent (compressor and portable tanks) 24/7. Charles, my loving and loyal partner and care giver, has been carrying the weight of most of the household tasks and my care for over 4 years. My brother is very generous in helping us meet our monthly household expenses. Although my Medicare and supplemental insurance cover most medically-prescribed comfort measures (vs. curative measures which I discontinued entirely prior to starting hospice), other important parts of my care must be paid for out-of-pocket. And Charles and I can no longer pay for them without help. These include: a natural supplement (for improved energy and reduced occurrence and severity of lung infections); home care service 4 hours a week (to take some of the burden off Charles and maintain a clean and safe living space); durable medical equipment not covered by insurance (for mobility, safety, and pain management), and massage (to reduce the back pain and alleviate extreme dryness caused by medications). All of these make life in this body more tolerable and can free up my attention and energy for creative work ..." which I hope to continue as long as I live.
Recently I've been posting photos mostly from my computer archives. I hope to resume making new photos soon, especially flower macros. With love and thanks to all my Flickr friends. ♥
Air Compressor Converted to Silent Running, for Cortina MK4 projects for air tools, paint and just blowing up tyer's
Grade II listed. Sitting on 'The Great Flat Lode', the ruins of South Wheal Frances form one of the most striking and substantial historical tin mining sites in Cornwall. The complex was built after the merger of the 3 Basset mines in 1896, which was rather late in comparison with many other local mines, making this a more 'modern' site with more diverse buildings. As well as the pump and winding engine houses, there also survives a large miners' dry (a building for miners to change), a compressor house (for powering rock drills), a capstan, an ore sorter, and a boiler house.
The picture shows a couple of the 'bolt tunnels' in the side wall of the compressor house. When the machinery was installed, a man had to crawl through these openings to fix the foundation bolts!
Seen adjacent to the parking lot at Almaden Quicksilver County Park. This is among assorted mercury mining tools and equipment set out on display.
A sign indicates that this compressor was a gasoline powered model from Gardner-Denver Company based in Quincy, IL. Note that the tires have deteriorated yet the wheels remain.

The monster sleeps in the basement. Sometimes it wakes up and makes an infernal noise for a minute or two. Then silence again.

I believe this is an early air compressor exhibited at the most excellent Steam Giants of Brede Waterworks museum, Rye, East Sussex.
The museum has many exhibits including a preserved nuclear bunker which would have operated as a water distribution control centre in the event of thermo-nuclear conflict.

The man made Loch on Isle of May. The dam can just be seen at the end of the loch which was used to create this body of water. The water was used for cooling the engines (and possibly compressors) used to power the fog horns. The engine room for the fog horns is just behind me in this shot. Although the fog horns themselves (north and south) are a considerable distance from here.
