Henry Hoke was one of South Australia's most prolific yet mainly unknown inventors.. A while ago I found some drawings of one of his inventions and made one as close as I could. The result is well balanced with little weight on the front wheels on handlebars, but as a wheelbarrow it is bloody useless!

"The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, commonly referred to as a strike if it hits an object on the ground."
I guess these lightnings were approximately 5 to 20 kilometres away, giving me a superb view. I was very lucky being there at dusk, safe from the thundercloud, trying to catch the golden light along with this unique and outstanding phenomena. It's a panoramic photo of two images, taken with 30-second exposure time at f22, iso 400.
It's my first attempt to capture lightnings.
"Lightning occurs approximately 40–50 times a second worldwide, resulting in nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year."

Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern's or St Mungo's Cathedral, is today a gathering of the Church of Scotland in Glasgow.
The title cathedral is honorific and historic, dating from the period before the Scottish Reformation and its former status as the Roman Catholic mother church of the Archdiocese of Glasgow and the cathedra of the Archbishop of Glasgow (which is now in St. Andrew's Cathedral, the present mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow). The current congregation is part of the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow. Glasgow Cathedral is located north of High Street and east of Cathedral Street, beside the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Glasgow Cathedral with Cathedral Square
The history of the cathedral is linked with that of the city, and is allegedly located where the patron saint of Glasgow, Saint Mungo, built his church. The tomb of the saint is in the lower crypt. Walter Scott's novel Rob Roy gives an account of the kirk.
Glasgow Cathedral, engraving by John Slezer, (1693)
Built before the Reformation from the late 12th century onwards and serving as the seat of the Bishop and later the Archbishop of Glasgow, the building is a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches (and the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland) to have survived the Reformation not unroofed.
James IV ratified the treaty of Perpetual Peace with England at the high altar on 10 December 1502.[1] The cathedral and the nearby castle played a part in the battles of Glasgow in 1544 and 1560.[2] Twenty years after the Reformation, on 22 April 1581 James VI gifted the income from a number of lands to Glasgow town for the kirk's upkeep. He traced the ownership of these lands to money left by Archbishop Gavin Dunbar as a legacy for repairing the cathedral.[3] The town council agreed on 27 February 1583 to take responsibility for repairing the kirk, while recording they had no obligation to do so.[4] The church survives because of this resolution. Inside, the rood screen is also a very rare survivor in Scottish churches.

Technically, the building is no longer a cathedral, since it has not been the seat of a bishop since 1690. However, like other pre-Reformation cathedrals in Scotland, it is still a place of active Christian worship, hosting a Church of Scotland congregation. The current minister (since 15 February 2007) is the Rev Laurence A. B. Whitley, PhD, who was previously minister at Montrose Old and St Andrew's Parish Church. The previous minister was the Very Rev William Morris, who was minister from 1967 until retiring in November 2005. The building itself is in the ownership of the Crown, is maintained by Historic Scotland, and is a popular destination for tourists.

This is my latest machine, just finished yesterday.
I am calling it The Piano Player. It was made for my father's 75th birthday party which is tomorrow. He taught himself to play piano when I was a kid, and I remember him sitting with his earphones on playing away with no music to hear. I thought it would be fitting for me to make this for him since I am a self taught woodworker.
When the handle is turned, the keys that the fingers rest on move up and down and the corresponding equalizer bars in the back move with them. It is made from Cherry (frame), Maple (keys and mechanical parts), walnut (black keys and finishing dowels), Padauk (equalizer bars), and Yellowheart (hands). The final machine took close to 60 hours to finish, including having to make a custom box to transport it in. That does not include the concept and study models I started with. Dimensions are approx. 22"x16"x10"
I hope to have video edited and ready for upload sometime this coming week, along with a bunch more pictures
Derived from the chassis of a civilian heavy hauler, the Equalizer matches its menacing looks with a battery of bombardment weaponry. Able to linger in battle for extended periods of time due to its reinforced plating, the Equalizer delivers punishing volleys against capital ships while also remaining a competent anti-frigate platform.

Holga shot equalized and inverted in "difference" mode in photoshop. Until I did that, I had no idea what the billboard said!
From a totally different trip to Porvoo as the other night shot in the stream (www.flickr.com/photos/naggobot/8174561179/). This is actually from a different winter. Special thanks to the friend who made the trip happen. Weather was far from good, it was raining snow and in addition the wind was also significant. I would not have gone out at all if it was only up to me alone.
As it is the extremish weather rewarded both of us with some nice shots. I took only three different sets of exposures until I was freezing. This is from the first set and by far the best. At least I belive so since I have not processed others yet.
Strange bokeh effect is caused by the snow on the camera lens. In reality all exposures were orange due to the lights but I decided to fake most of the image to the cooler blue instead of orange. The bridge I left warm orange and I did four different versions of the fade out to the cool blue until I settled for this.

Early morning IMSA GT3 Cup race at Road America was a wet one! Sloan Urry leads over Madison Snow and Angel Benetiz Jr. 2013.
With the boyfriend away for the weekend I was all set to catch up on some reading and housework, when m'buddy (a fellow photographer, DJ and engineer) mentioned he'd planned to attend the Pride event in Cologne, and would I like to come along?
Reading can wait.
I'd been to Cologne before of course, admiring its beautiful Dom cathedral from without and within, though I remember it having a lot more scaffolding around it. I hadn't visited the city during a time when it saw not one but two important public events: the Pride celebration of diversity and equality and love and all that good stuff, and an apparently historic football match between Germany and Italy.
The latter dominated Saturday evening. Bars were crowded but quiet, occasionally surging with excitement that ebbed crescendoed as goals were attempted, missed, completed and then equalized, culminating in sudden-death overtime that went on a surprisingly (and evidently thrillingly) long time.
Germany won. Cheers and jeers rose throughout the city, beers were clanged, strangers were hugged and kissed and for the first time in my life I found myself surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of people in a nighttime city intersection, all headbanging in delirious ecstasy to an unannounced houm-pah-pah marching band playing Rage Against The Machine on brass and drums.
A gaggle of orange-shirted Dutch football fans celebrated with their Eastern brethren by chanting "Alle Duitsers zijn homo's" to which the Germans responded with "Alle Niederländer sind Homo's" in good spirits, accurate rhythm and surprisingly consistent key.
Prescient in a way, because on Sunday that very much seemed to be borne out. I've visited and enjoyed Amsterdam's annual Canal Pride many times (our parade floats actually float, y'all) but hadn't yet seen a street parade, and I'm so glad m'buddy cajoled me into tagging along.
In the spirit of togetherness and diversity and exuberance I'd brought along my little photo printer. I sneakily befriended various couples and groups by giving them a portrait to take home, and in exchange was easily allowed to sneak to the front for a better view of the parade.
In one case, when a lady tried to give me two euros for the print and the only way I could demur was to ask for a peck on the cheek instead, the leather-clad beardo standing next to her proudly told me she was her daughter and that, by Westphalian law, I was now betrothed to marry her.
Soooo I'm rather glad I'm home and if anyone is well-versed in EU law, please let me know how far David and I will need to emigrate to escape the looming threat of that shotgun wedding, thanks in advance, please help, for real though please help thank you please.
The parade of course was more, shall we say, colorful than the wholesome and family-friendly joie-de-vivre here depicted, but I leave it to your delicate imaginations to picture how the great city of Cologne celebrates Pride!

Before moving into environmental politics (and the national parks), my research and teaching focused on the political economy of international trade. So, of course I thought of Paul Samuelson's 1948 Factor Price Equalization Theorem when I saw this scene at the Hot Springs Historic District in Big Bend National Park.
The scene also illustrates a common practice studied by economic anthropologists, the silent trade. (Marcel Mauss, "The Gift," is the locus classicus.) A community may leave out gifts for a neighboring community, who will take the gifts and leave gifts of their own. If both sides are happy with the rate of exchange, the gift-giving (or trade) continues.
Here, Mexican artists leave craft goods for American tourists, who pay for the goods by putting money in the can at left. The Department of Homeland Security defines this practice as "smuggling" and may confiscate the items if you purchase them.
And, yes, I'm a lot of fun at parties.
This retro VHS advert from a "Video Store" monthly magazine touts the cult cheesefest "Equalizer 2000" as the next must-have tape for the rental shelves. The film, helmed by the grindhouse yeoman Cirio Santiago, seemed to do brisk rental trade during the VHS era. It pops up occasionally at flea market, but isn't so common now. On the bottom is the sword-sorcery-and-skin epic "Amazons" (1986). The blurb promised "passion and power" plus "magic and myth" for this rarer release.
