Hojas, contraluz
solitarias noches
a veces alucino
con la sencillez
de la naturaleza
y lo enrevesado
de la mente
humana, empeñada
como un crio
en hacer...
los brillos
las sombras
las luces
y los destellos
los instantes
los caminos
la fauna,
el gremio,
la tormenta y
la música

Just like the controls i my like the up button sometimes work's the down/close button has a mind of its own and the stop button is pointless as it never works.
So this was our service workshop or one of them and the cause for the place shutting down due to a structurally unsafe floor that could have seen it ironically fall onto our accident repair centre below.
Those boots were killing me by the end of the day. i don't think it was a good idea doing the mile walk into town and back
Wildlife Control vehicle in Park Slope Brooklyn. newyorkdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/03/wildlife-control.html
Found this very old & dirty remote control lying under a bench. This house was completely underwater in the great Brisbane flood and has never been lived in since. Is that mud on the buttons..?
My wife tried something new. Of course I can't have any new pantyhose in the house without trying them on, so here are a few photos. Not bad, but I wish they were a little more tan.

The old abandoned Milk Factory still has a few relics from its time as a functioning facility. Like this old silver control panel

Excitement is rising in anticipation of the pending touchdown of NASA's InSight lander on Mars.
I was not successful finding the official control panel of this spacecraft online and was only able to find a decent facsimile for those who would like to assist the InSight Lander on it's descent. Instructions about how to operate the controls are unavailable except for those who are knowledgeable of steam locomotives, however.
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and SMC PENTAX 67 1:4 45mm lens and Hoya SMC Y[K2] 82mm filter using Kodak TX400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
George Orwell
One of my earliest assignments during a career in electric utilities controls was as a project engineer for an Energy Management System that my employer was supplying to Tri=State Generation & Transmission in Colorado. I was there to check and correct some issues with custom steel dispatcher consoles that we supplied. The control system was still being programmed in the factory, but the consoles were in place, and some of Tri-State’s existing equipment was placed on the desktop areas for interim use in the new control center.
In today’s post-9/11 security environment, cameras in a control room are prohibited, but 1983 was a different time. Two examples of the technology of the time can be seen on the desktop – the big metal box is a CRT monitor, and the tractor-feed paper coming out of the box on the floor is going into an impact printer. The colors may not be accurate due to Kodachrome and artificial light, but I believe that they are the same as the locomotives of the Escalante Western, which served Tri-State’s Escalante Generating Station.
One other note – this trip provided the opportunity to shoot the final round trip of the Rio-Grande Zephyr.
Car lit with two Yongnuo YN560III. One on camera left in a soft box @ 1/8 power, The second on camera right in a strip box to expose the front of the car. In order to get a strong contrast with the background, the wall in the back was lit by another two YN560III with a softbox @ 1/2 power. All four speedlights controlled remotely with the YN560TX.
Inverkip Powerstation Control Room
The best control room out there? im sorry Battersea fans im leaning this way!
The oil fired station closed in the late 1980s having only been built a few years earlier. It only ran at full capacity for a few weeks during the 1986 mining strikes, otherwise it was a total white elephant! The 1970s oil crisis hit a matter of months after completion and rendered this brand new powerstation virtualy useless. Ever since closure it has been maintained as part of the strategic reserve but now demolition is relativly imminant parts are starting to be removed and systems disconnected.
The room feels new and un-used, Its one of the best time machines ive ever had the pleasure of riding, never going to foget this one!
Success in weight loss comes at a price: eating the same thing (almost) every day to combat any sign of eating disorders.
I've shrunk back the rice and added green beads to what I eat every day (win!), but at the same time the struggle happens every day.
But that also means every day is a chance at a mini victory, and who doesn't like a victory every day?!?
One of many scenes within the control tower at The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby . This tableau depicts life in the control room of the tower back in the day .
A short history of RAF East Kirkby taken from wikipedia --
Royal Air Force East Kirkby or more simply RAF East Kirkby is a former Royal Air Force station near the village of East Kirkby, south of Horncastle in Lincolnshire, just off the A155. The Greenwich meridian passes through the airfield.
RAF Station East Kirkby opened on 20 August 1943 as a Bomber Command Station and is situated not far from RAF Coningsby.
Stationed at East Kirkby were:
No. 57 Squadron RAF (5 Group) 27 August 1943 – 25 November 1945.
No. 630 Squadron RAF (5 Group) 15 November 1943 – 18 July 1945.
RAF East Kirkby served also as the headquarters of No 5/5 (Bomber) Group RAF in command of satellite stations at RAF Strubby, RAF Spilsby, RAF Hemswell and RAF Manby.
Operations
On 17 April 1945, near the end of the Second World War, a 57 Squadron Lancaster was being loaded with bombs when a fully armed 1,000 lb bomb was unintentionally dropped onto the tarmac. Because the bomb had had its fuse inserted it detonated, setting off the rest of the Lancaster's bombload. A massive explosion killed three airmen, injured 16 others, wrote off six other Lancasters beyond repair and badly damaged a nearby aircraft hangar.
The final wartime raid from East Kirkby was flown on 25 April 1945. In total, 212 operations were carried out during the war, from which 121 Lancasters did not return. Another 29 aircraft were lost due to operational crashes or accidents.
Post war
No 630 Squadron disbanded in July that year and its place was taken by No. 460 Squadron RAAF from RAF Binbrook. This squadron joined No. 57 for transfer to the Far East as part of Tiger Force. In the 1950s, the airfield was used by the United States Air Force for Air Rescue squadrons for four years. The station (code name Silksheen) closed in 1958. It was sold by the government in 1964.
Aircraft museum
The airfield became the site of broiler sheds, and is now home to an air museum, Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, which bought Just Jane, the gate guardian Lancaster bomber from RAF Scampton, which is regularly taxied out and stood with the four Rolls Royce Merlin XXIV engines running. Just Jane is being restored to flight by the museum.
NX611 was built by Austin Aero Ltd at their Cofton Hackett Works just south of Birmingham, rolling out of the Flight Shed on 16 April 1945, when it was put into storage, and in 1952, it was one of 54 Lancasters sold to the French Naval Air Arm, (L’Aeronavale) for £50,000 each as part of a 1951 NATO arrangement. It was designated WU-15 (Western Union). In June 1961,it joined Escadrille 9S (Surveillance), in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
On 15 April 1964, it accompanied Lancaster NX665 (WU-13), on delivery to the RNZAF, from New Caledonia to Auckland, New Zealand, returning to New Caledonia, with the crew of NX665. In 1965, its service with the L’Aeronavale over, due to spares shortages and maintenance problems, it was flown to England and on 13 May 1965 landed at Biggin Hill Airport, Kent, as part of the 'Historic Aircraft Preservation Society' Collection (HAPS). It had flown 2,330 hours. It had been registered as G - ASXX for its flight back to the UK and later stood as the gate guardian at RAF Scampton before being acquired by the museum owners Fred & Harold Panton
The control tower is believed to be haunted. The airfield was featured in a 1980s BBC series about World War II airfields. Much of the runway is still intact today but mainly used by local farmers as hard standing and by model aircraft enthusiasts. Occasional civilian light aircraft have landed on the remaining runway in recent years and the airfield still appears on Civil Aviation Maps as a diversion emergency landing location.
A memorial to the fallen can be found outside the main gate where the guard house once stood.
RAF East Kirkby was investigated by the Most Haunted team in 2003 for their third series on Living TV now called Sky Living. Yvette Fielding and her team investigated the museum and site for alleged paranormal activity. The episode was transmitted on Tuesday 7 October 2003 on Living TV. It was the first episode of the third series of the paranormal investigation show Most Haunted.
In 2008 the museum opened an unlicensed part-grass and part-concrete landing strip for visiting military and civil aircraft. No aircraft should land without contacting the owners first via the museum's website or telephone number. Air traffic control on flying display days is from RAF Coningsby and there is a six-mile "no fly" exclusion zone around East Kirkby on display days.
I was very interested in seeing the reference to RAF Manby , a base I spent some time at on a full runway and taxiway survey back in the very early 70s and in the winter months and it was very very cold and wet .
We stayed on site - 16 of us in one room - the transit dormitory . Saw a number of live bands in the NAAFI including Slade .
The lasting memory of Manby though is of me running along the centre of the taxiway to retrieve a survey target from the centre line with a Jet Provost following close behind me waiting for me to clear the obstruction - felt quite hairy at the time but I guess the pilot knew what he was doing - I hope !!!

2900+ still images taken with Nikon D40 through a Sigma 10-20mm f4 lens and nikon 35mm f1.8. I used Camera control pro for some clips, but most of them were taken only using the Nikon ML-L3 remote since D40 doesn't have a built in intervalometer. One clip is taken in Bergen, Norway, the remaining clips are taken in Levanger, Norway. Some aircraft navigation lights and even a few meteors are captured in this timelapse. The star trails effect was created using photoshop and a star trails action which can be found here: timelapseblog.com/2010/03/29/s... and downloaded from here: www.mediafire.com/?zyxiljnvoc0. Thanks to Owen Scharlotte!
