We are all controlled by the world in which we live, and part of that world has been and will be constructed by men.
The question is this: Are we to be controlled by accidents, by tyrants, or by ourselves in effective cultural design?

The control room of the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel. This room is often used in TV shows and movies as "the control room" - for power rangers, Ultraman, etc.

A comparison of results with PID motor control vs. setting the power level directly. With the PID control, I set a target RPM and the micro controller uses a PID approach to reach the target fairly quickly. With "set power" I just set the final PWM power level and wait for the motor to reach the final speed. This is with a small (toy) 12V motor as a test of the approach to be used for a tennis ball machine.
do you have the control? Can you control the sun?
I can't... but I can sure as hell try.

Drowning in negative thoughts of self-hatred, and despairing about certain things in the world I can't control.... and then I saw you! You set me free, taught me a lesson about the simple joy of being alive, and showed me what's real in this moment.
Thank you, dog. You saved the day.

Conducting a controlled burn on the Froland Waterfowl Production Area. Conditions were ideal for setting back the woody vegetation that is invading the native prairie!

One of the most serene places I have visited on my trip in Dorset. I came up half an hour before sunset. Birds such as Chiffchaff and Song Thrush were singing. I wish I came earlier but maybe the place looked its best before sunset as the last of the sun' rays added a golden touch to the green grass.

Compton Down and Melbury Hill South
Here you will find one of the best displays of glow-worms during June and July, if the weather is good. It also attracts a wealth of butterflies such as Chalkhill Blue, Adonis Blue and Meadow Brown. Melbury Hill marks the high point of a spur, offering sweeping views across much of the downs. ST879192

Melbury Down
This stunning meandering dry valley cuts the ridge of Cranborne Chase, which straddles the counties of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. The fine chalk grassland is interrupted by a narrow band of flint scree, which unusually supports acid-loving heathers. ST892190
Win Green
The highest point in Cranborne Chase with fine views of rolling downland in all directions. Crowned by a clump of trees growing on a Bronze Age bowl barrow (a mound of earth and stones covering a grave) Win Green forms a prominent landmark. ST922204

Taking the pretty awesome EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS for a spin.
The IS is pretty spectacular - as this was handheld and my hands shake like a leaf in the wind.
The goats are there to keep the vegetation under control along the ramparts of Fort Rowner inside HMS Sultan engineering school. This gate is to prevent them getting onto the parade ground and wandering off around HMS Sultan.
Fort Rowner is one of the Palmerston Follies (after Lord Palmerston) built in the late 1850s and early 1860s as protection for Portsmouth harbour in case the French decided to invade Britain. After all the French had the first iron clad warship!
Taken with my little Panasonic camera as my Canon 7D Mk2 now returned to LCE for dispatch to Canon K for repair. The Error 20 message from yesterday has been replaced by Error 30!
Portsmouth & Southsea station and approaches as shown on the 1947 Southern Railway Traffic Control- Southern Division Area No 3 diagram.
Main running lines are shown in heavy lines with sidings in the lighter version. Lines equipped with electrification - in this case 660V DC third rail - are marked 'ELEC'. In the Low Level platforms at Portsmouth & Southsea the only lines marked as electrified are plats 3,4 and 5. C Siding between plats 4 and 5 is also electrified I believe, The loco yard on the up side is not electrified but the lines alongside would appear to be, On the down side the down relief, back road and nos 1,2,and 3 sidings are also electrified. Somewhat amusingly the Portsmouth Electric Company’s two sidings are not electric but to be fair wouldn't have any requirement to be.
Banff National Park, Alberta Canada. Somewhere along Route 1A which runs parallel to the Trans Canada Highway.
As they do in many national parks, select areas of the forests are periodically burnt down to rejuvenate the forests and avoid random fires that could go out of control. I am not sure when they burnt this area - probably a year ago.

Fuel controls for the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, which is a military aerial refueling aircraft. Both the KC-135 and the Boeing 707 airliner were developed from the Boeing 367-80 (“Dash-80”) prototype. The KC-135 was the US Air Force's first jet-powered refueling tanker, entering service in 1957. The last KC-135 was delivered to the Air Force in 1965. KC-135s are still in service, refueling Air Force, Navy, Marine, and NATO aircraft.
