Macro Mondays: Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Back to the Future is my favorite triology and seems to fit in very well with this week's theme. The DeLorean took its place as one of the most memorable automobiles in film during part one, it took flight like a plane in part two, and used the assistance of a train in part 3.

...I'm away for a couple of days my dear friends. I'll answer all your nice comments on my pictures when I'm back. See you soon, I'll be back in the future...or present? :)
I strongly believe that almost nobody in Germany would've heard of this car if it hadn't been prominent in the science-fiction comedy from 1985 (1989, 1990).
John DeLorean, former member of the GM executive board, wanted to realise his dream with his own sports car, the DMC-12. The design came from Giugiaro and the V6 motor came from the Peugeot/Volvo/Renault stock, which was also deployed in a modified form in the Alpine 310 sports car. Lotus provided backing and swiftly adapted the chassis of the Esprit for the DMC-12. In spite of its sports genes, the DeLorean was a flop. The rear-mounted engine was too heavy and to weak.
This is me without a shirt on.

Don't skimp on the favourites people!
I don't generally like to show my verticals in a large size, but this one kinda benefits from being seen grande, and on black of course.

The San Diego Crew Classic is the first large event in the season nation-wide. It pulls in competitors from across the country (as well as a few Canadian teams). LGRC is the Los Gatos Rowing Club from the bay area of California.
Los Gatos is in the south end of the San Francisco Bay, part of what is know as Silicon Valley, very popular with the high-tech industry. LGRC’s boat’s name reflects the high-tech community they’re from: Flux Capacitor.
Made a couple grammatical decisions here. I’ve decided the collective noun for a group of DeLoreans should be a “flux”. Also that the plural of DeLoreans should be DeLorean. No “s”! As in, that’s a big flux of DeLorean on the street. You’re welcome. 😉
I settled on this crop option... Croption? New word to add to the dictionary perhaps? LOL.
Thx for all the suggestions. They helped!

Flux Capacitor! Anyone else see it? This triangular snowflake has a style all its own, unlike anything I’ve photographed before. View large! (Press the "L" key to view in Lightbox mode)
Snowflakes like this bend the imagination a little. How can a snowflake possibly form in this way? Three branches emerging from a roughly triangular center, it seems unlikely that a snowflake could form naturally this way. The answer is in the aerodynamic properties of a snowflake.
As a snowflake falls, if one edge of a simple hexagon stays oriented in the direction of on-coming water vapour, it will likely grow faster in the direction of the vapour, and the lines leading away from that point will grow backward in a similar manner. It’s hard to describe in simple terms! There was a scientific paper written about this a few years back from Ken Libbrecht: arxiv.org/abs/0911.4267 . Normally snowflake stumble and twirl in unpredictable ways, but randomly enough that the growth equalizes on all sides.
You can see that this has started to happen, with the outer-most edges resembling a “reformed” hexagonal shape, but the inner details of this odd sectored plate tell a different story. Because the branches formed by the inner crystal splitting into two new plates, they were able to grow out in “pairs”, making two branches into one. I would have loved to see this snowflake grow into a larger specimen, it would have been even more unique!
The big, beautiful snowflakes have tons of detail to admire, but much can be said for these tiny quirky crystals and what they represent. There is a never-ending world of snowflake types and characteristics, and studying them makes cold Canadian winters a little more tolerable. Want to enjoy the rest of winter? Grab a copy of Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/ and enjoy the beauty that winter is constantly throwing in our faces, and on our driveways!
Is time travel more interesting as mere transportation, or as a reality changing tool? If you really had a properly functioning time machine that could move backwards and forwards through time, what problem could you not solve? Just go back in time and fix it. Screw it up? Go back in time and fix it again.
Which may be why the scope of time travel is often limited. The time machine is broken, or stolen, or out of power. Or there’s no machine at all and a person is just randomly propelled through time and space. Sometimes, the problem is simply ignored, with mixed results.
Doctor Who, for example, uses a functional time and space machine that can go anywhere and anywhen in the universe. Yet nearly every episode features a “beat the clock” sprint through streets and hallways. Why? Why not step into the Tardis, roll the clock back fifteen minutes, then casually stroll to the doomsday machine and save the day? Because that’s boring. So they just pretend they don’t have a time machine, until they want a time machine.
Or Terminator. From our perspective it’s been 30 years of humans foiling killing machines sent from the future. But what’s Skynet doing exactly in the future? Was it sending a Terminator in, then looking around for a few seconds to see if it worked and the future changed? Would it even be aware the future changed? Or was Skynet just a cold, calculating dick, sending dozens of Terminators back at the same time, each to a different year in the past?
The only film so far to really attempt to deal with time travel causality with truly brutal logic, was Primer. It showed how complicated the consequences could be from even a very limited time travel ability (backwards one week only). The events and story were so complex fans of the film created a massive flowchart to track all of the different realities and characters generated. It’s almost required to watch the film again immediately, multiple times, just to keep up. For many people that sort of time and brain investment isn’t entertaining either.
So is time travel more interesting as mere transportation, or as a reality changing tool? We may never know. But what we do know, having read all of this, you have now traveled ten minutes into the future. Ta daa!
As my VW camper is from 1985 I felt it needed the definative '80's time travel accessory... the Flux Capacitor (two actually) and the all important time circuits.. If this baby hits 88mph you'll see some serious s**t!
