Finally ... one bicycle which I am happy to NOT see on the roads.

Weight driven clock, German made Hermele. This is a single weight driven 8 day skeleton mechanical movement. It strikes the passing hour with a bell. (2004)
At one stage, this guy was performing poorly. A close examination revealed that he was suffering from jammed-hands syndrome. A quick fix put him back on track again.
Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
Seen in Stamford Street, London SE1 today are two 8gp (girl power) pedi-buses.
Each person faces inwards whilst peddling away in order for the driver to steer the "bus". I'm not quite sure what the pink hair was all about....or the blow-up doll at the back !
Music and wine was flowing, but the overtaking cyclist had had enough.
Might need to enlarge the photo in order to understand what's going on.
Weight driven, floating ballance movement. The weight is lifted back to top of travel by an electro magnet. (SOLD)

Seattle's economy is driven by a mix of older industrial companies, and "new economy" Internet and technology companies, service, design and clean technology companies. The Port of Seattle is a major economic engine. Though it has been affected by the recent recession, Seattle has retained a comparatively strong economy, and remains a hotbed for start-up businesses, especially in green building and clean technologies: it was ranked as America's No. 1 "smarter city" based on its government policies and green economy. The Seattle housing market, especially in center-city neighborhoods, has not seen the sort of drop in value most housing markets around the nation have seen in recent years. The Seattle region's economy is increasingly diverse and multi-sectoral. Seattle's gross metropolitan product was $231 billion in 2010, making it the 12th largest metropolitan economy in the United States.
Still, very large companies dominate the business landscape. Three companies on the 2008 Fortune 500 list of the United States' largest companies, based on total revenue are headquartered in Seattle: Internet retailer Amazon.com (#100), coffee chain Starbucks (#241), and department store Nordstrom (#270).[181] Other Fortune 500 companies popularly associated with Seattle are based in nearby Puget Sound cities. Warehouse club chain Costco (#29), the largest retail company in Washington, is based in Issaquah. Providence Health & Services, the largest health care system and the fifth largest employer, is based in Renton, Washington. Microsoft (#44) and Nintendo of America are located in Redmond. Weyerhaeuser, the forest products company (#147), is based in Federal Way. Finally, Bellevue is home to truck manufacturer PACCAR (#169), and to international mobile telephony giant T-Mobile's U.S. subsidiary, T-Mobile USA.[181]
Prior to moving its headquarters to Chicago, aerospace manufacturer Boeing (#27) was the largest company based in Seattle. Its largest division is still headquartered in nearby Renton, and the company has large aircraft manufacturing plants in Everett and Renton, so it remains the largest private employer in the Seattle metropolitan area.
Macro Mondays Theme - Drive Me Wild
It drives me wild that not all screws are driven like the one on the right!
I test drove this at Available Car in Castle Donington, Leicestershire.
If you are going to have a Volvo estate, then why not have the most nutty one available right?
The XC70 is nutty. 210mm of ground clearance, big plain plastic bumpers, M+S tyres, 4 wheel drive... even the dog guard is standard equipment (its is on gas struts so you can fold it up into the headlining when not required).
However, not is all it seems with this XC70. Its missing an important element that turns a nutty car into a nutty car that doesn't really make sense.
Excerpt from here: www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/volvo/volvo-xc70-drive-...
"On looks alone, this Volvo XC70 may seem like old news, yet it puts a whole new twist on the urban off-roader theme. Why? Because, despite the jacked-up stance, it’s actually front-wheel drive.
What’s happened to the 4x4 version? Don’t panic, it’s still on sale. The front-wheel drive XC70 has been introduced along with a front-drive XC60, both cars being cheaper and less polluting than the 4x4 variants that sired them."
So, this one isn't for us with its missing its 4 wheel drive and in basic trim (for Volvo). A more sensible choice would be the plain old V70.

Astley Green colliery's No 1 shaft steam winding engine was installed in 1912 and was in use until the colliery closed in 1970. It is a four cylinder engine in twin tandem configuration, developing 3300 horsepower. It is believed to be the largest surviving colliery winding engine of its type in Europe.
The engine and engine house were saved from demolition when the colliery closed in 1970, and it has been restored by volunteers at the museum. The museum periodically runs the engine on compressed air.
I don't know what possessed me to take this shot. I've driven past this McDonald's a hundred times. Or at least as many times as burgers they've sold. And after I took the shot I sat there (we were at a stop light) and thought back....
All at once I was sitting in our red Ford station-wagon with the black interior. It was our special family trip to McDonald's - the folks and my younger brother and sister - up near the Boulevard Mall. We'd look up at how many hamburgers they sold and be amazed at the number. Dad would memorize our orders (it wasn't complicated then), get out of the car and head inside the little red and white building. It was SO exciting. McDonald's. Hamburgers and fries, and a chocolate shake so thick you hurt your face trying to suck it up through the straw.
Mom would drop down the metal glove compartment door with the 2 indentations for drinks, and we'd dig in. Except for the yucky onions, I was in heaven. This was a feast made for a queen! We'd sit and watch cars come out of the carwash in front of us. It was mind-numbingly boring...oh, but the food. It was such a huge event for us. Like a trip to the zoo, or the beach. McDonald's.
How different is it now, with the movie promos and toys for disinterested kids, the drive-thru for the hurried and hassled, and salads for the calorie-conscious. That's all well and good, I s'pose, but now a trip to McDonald's has lost its meaningfulness. They don't even list how many they've sold any more. Just "billions and billions served". The details are lost in the sauce.
But not in my memory.
Cardiff works tram 131 in Blundell Street, Blackpool. The tram had just been driven from Starr Gate tram depot along the Promenade to Talbot Square from where it then returned south along the Promenade to Manchester Square, Lytham Road and Hopton Road to Blundell Street. 131 was being returned to the National Tramway Museum at Crich, Derbyshire. Friday 23 March 2012.

Unlike many works trams, 131 is not a converted passenger tram but a purpose-built works car for watering the tracks. It was built by Dick Kerr & Company Ltd in 1902.on a Brill truck, at that time the tram was completely open. Circa 1909 the tank was enclosed with a wooden body and the tram was painted in the livery that it carries today, from 1916 it was painted all-over grey. In 1920 the truck was changed for what is thought to be a Hurst Nelson truck which had been specially modified to allow the car to undertake track scrubbing duties.
131 was the very last survivor of the Cardiff Tramways and in February 1950 it was presented to the Light Railway Transport League Museum Committee, what is now the Tramway Museum Society (TMS). Due to a pressing need to remove the tram from storage in Cardiff, where a light restoration had been undertaken, it became the very first tram to arrive at Crich in May 1959. Unfortunately in May 1971 it was taken to the Clay Cross black hole for long term storage.
After thirty six years at Clay Cross 131 returned to Crich on 31 August 2007 for a major overhaul and a return to its former glory. It was officially launched on the 20 May 2009 which was the first day of the “Crich50” celebrations. HRH The Duke of Gloucester drove the tram at the event.
In April 2010 it went on a five day loan to the Beamish Museum in County Durham to take part in the “Power from the Past” which was themed around works trams.
Cardiff 131 was delivered to Blackpool’s Starr Gate tram depot on Monday 07 November 2011. It was used for only two days, Tuesday 08 November and Wednesday 09 November 2011 for cleaning the new track between Starr Gate and the Pleasure Beach in preparation for high speed running trials using the first of the Bombardier Flexity 2 trams, 001. 131 was driven by volunteers from the TMS.
On the 9th November 2019 a loco has seen the Bord Na Nona branding changed. No need for many rally drivers on the 3'gauge systems.

July 16, 2009. Campbell Park, Bloor-Lansdowne Toronto. Residents protest against the temporary garbage dump in their park. The people in yellow are City managers helping residents to load garbage onto the pick-up truck which is then driven to the rink.
This is my custom lego gokart, which is driven by a zombie. Building instruction is available (in LDD).
Got to work with the Media Group for the Driven show in Winnipeg yesterday. As you can see, I was very lucky and got to work with a host of talented young models.
I also got a chance to test out my new portable hot shoe soft boxes, which I must admit work very, very well for a couple 50 dollar ebay items.
Strobist Info: Two speedlights 1/4 power through 20 inch softboxes camera left and front.
A closer view of the flywheel and tensioner pulley on the air compressor. This place was an absolute maze of pipes.

From CMC:
1954. Mercedes-Benz returned after the war to the Formula-1-racing. At the premiere in Reims, three new Silver Arrows came to use and with their complete new body they caused a lot of excitement at the audience and a lot of nervouseness at their competitors. The world has never seen before such an easy cutting, elegant and streamlined racing car.
The sensation was perfect, as the Mercedes with Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling realised a terrific double at the first go. Fangio became 1954/1955 double word champion, but also Kling, Stirling Moss, Hans Herrmann and Piero Taruffi were celebrated stars. They all celebrated a lot of triumphs with the streamline version and also with the parallel used W 196 Monoposto, the version with the freestanding wheels.
This story of big success ended like it began. The Grand Prix seasons last race in 1955 in Monza, Fangio was again able to win with the streamline version and starting number 18. Mercedes retired from the Formula-1-racing one more time. And the glorious era of the Silver Arrows ended.
The fullmetal model is handmounted of more than 1.100 parts. The interaction of precision, details and functionality, the use of high-class material and the brilliant paintwork in finest polish are making this to a masterpiece of model architecture.

Fine elaborated cockpit with hand implemented instruments
