17-5239, a Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II of the United States Air Force, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.
The supersonic stealth strike fighter had just performed in the Canadian International Air Show over the Lake Ontario shoreline in downtown Toronto.
Rocketdyne produced seven serialized high-fidelity F-1 engine mock-ups. Although non-functional, they were used for early engineering purposes. Most are/were? mounted on test (i.e., non-flight) Saturn V first stages.
In this photograph, the second of these, FM-101 (the first being FM-100), was featured in a paper written by D. E. Aldrich & D. J. Sanchini of the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation. See:
heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/fm-101/fm-101.jpg
“I don't know exactly when FM-101 (or any of these engine mock-ups) were manufactured, but they certainly reflect an early design:
- There is no provision for thermal insulation.
- There is no interface panel.
- The fuel high-pressure ducts are straight, rather than the "U"-shaped ducts which characterized later production engines.
- The LOX dome has twin-elbow inlets.
F-1 engine mock-up FM-103 is on display in the Kennedy Space Center Rocket Garden (where, oddly enough, it is completely painted silver).”
The direct copy/paste above is in quotations, along with my paraphrasing from Mike Jetzer’s superlative “HEROIC RELICS” website, which he gleaned from Alan Lawrie’s book “Saturn” and a paper, “Saturn V Booster – The F-1 Engine”, by D. E. Aldrich, located in the Saturn V Collection, Dept. of Archives/Special Collections, M. Louis Salmon Library, University of Alabama in Huntsville, at:
heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/fm-101.html
I’m hoping the above is no longer the case, and that FM-103 was moved out of the elements into the Apollo/Saturn V Center.

Wait…one more. Look at the multiple monstrous card catalog cabinets behind the F-1! Commensurate with the size of the the engine.
Architectural Harmony at Barcelona Airport - I captured this photograph while waiting in the first-floor lounge waiting for my flight to Brussels, captivated by the interplay of lines and shapes. Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, commonly known as Barcelona Airport, is the city’s international airport. The airport's design embodies a modern and functional approach, with terminal buildings that exhibit contemporary aesthetics and efficient layouts to cater to the high volume of passengers and air traffic. While functionality takes precedence over aesthetics, if one takes a closer look at the various shapes and lines, there is an undeniable beauty that emerges - Barcelona-El Prat Airport, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
The marvel is not just that some of the oaks and beech of Epping Forest date back many hundreds of years but also that they continue to flourish without a fully functional trunk. I can't guess the age of this oak but note the top trunk growing out of apparently nothing.

The supporting wall at Crewe station separating platforms 11 and 12 has a beauty all of its own. Weather worn and stained with the soot of previous generations of railway activity it has tones of cream brown and bronze that are inspired in its construction. The arches are masterpieces of symmetry.
The soft curves of the northbound Pendelino compliment the design features of the wall.
Thanks to David Hayes for the inspiration.
While wondering the Fields of “Art Omi” in Ghent NY in search of a restroom, I came across this elaborate flushing system, WOW
One of Modiin's iconic buildings (Yigal Yadin street). Modiin, established in 1993, is one of Israel's youngest cities and a bold urban project at the same time.
Everything is beautiful in its own way... (Ray Stevens)
Beauty can be absolute, abstract or functional. Many beautifully functional items are not always beautiful in the traditional way. Brass pipe fitting in a carwash for the Macro Mondays group, topic: defining beauty. Happy Macro Monday!

C-FPCA, a 33-year-old Boeing 767-375ERBDSF, on approach to runway 06R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as ACA7254 (Air Canada) from Lima, Peru.
Serial number 24306 first flew on March 28, 1989. It began its career as C-FPCA with Canadian Airlines International Ltd. on April 18, 1989. It joined the Air Canada fleet when CAIL was acquired on January 1, 2001.
After being converted into a freighter by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. at Lod, Israel; it started operating again on December 9, 2021.
It is the first of eight 767-300ERBDSFs that will eventually be wearing Air Canada Cargo titles.
The architecture of the East Coast Main Line 14 mile Selby Diversion won’t win any beauty contest and can at best be described as functional.
Built to avoid risks to trains from mining subsidence, a new diversionary route, the first purpose-built section of high-speed railway in the UK runs to the west of Selby, construction started in July 1980, paid for by the National Coal Board and opened to British Rail Intercity East Coast Services on the 3rd October 1983.
LNER Azuma is the third generation of High Speed Intercity train to use the diversion, here Class 800 Bi-mode 800106 speeds under Field Lane Hambleton with a service for Edinburgh.

A wife uses her husband's torso as a laptop stand while sitting on a bench inside the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
I highlighted in my photo titled "Pass the Parcel - 2" that in Autumn 2015, Pembrokeshire County Council took on the lease of a Plaxton Centro-bodied VDL SB200 for contracted Service 322 (Haverfordwest & Withybush Hospital-Narberth-Whitland-St Clears-Carmarthen & Glangwili Hospital) on behalf of the then contractor, Silcox.
Silcox had been regularly using a UVG-bodied Dennis Javelin, P780 WDE, on the contract, which had replaced an 08-plate Alexander Dennis Enviro300. January 2016 was the deadline for single-deck service buses used on registered local bus services to comply with the Public Service Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 2000 (PSVAR), which no doubt prompted the Council's actions in leasing the VDL.
Whilst Silcox had built up a sizeable fleet of former MoD vehicles, P780 WDE had been purchased new, presumably as as a cheaper option than a buying a standard coach.
This shot from March 2014 shows her in a foggy Blue Street in Carmarthen when she was on her way to Glangwili Hospital after dropping off in the Bus Station.
About 20 kilometres (around 12 miles) outside Orange, New South Wales is the genuine heritage town of Millthorpe and we had to have a look at this. We realised we had been through before. This is the railway station, recently reopened as such which is also a very smart cafe where we had a lovely lunch. Sadly the town's success in many ways is also a bit of a negative, despite it being a weekday, the streets with their refurbished and upmarket shops were also busy and the preponderance of parked cars somewhat inhibited the photographic ambience of the widespread heritage architecture and values. It happens!
For anyone travelling, as I have said before some of these magnificent towns look like a page out of Australian history. There are quite a few around which will have you stepping back into the 19th century, colonisation architecture still standing doesn't go back further than that really. If you are travelling, you will find them more in the older states where primary building materials were stone and brick, like Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. Some wonderful ones are places like Campbell Town, Oatlands, Ross and Rothwell in Tasmania, several through the centre of Victoria, Millthorpe, Gulgong, Sofala, Hill End, Carcoar, Canowindra and the little towns I have mentioned recently in New South Wales and places north of the Barossa in South Australia. There are many more, these are just a sprinkle but well worth the visit. All are on good roads. I come from Queensland where there are also some rarer good ones (it was settled a little later and much was made of the less durable timber for building) but Charters Towers is a good one as is Ravenswood and places in the scenic rim around Brisbane. I am not so familiar with Western Australia, anyone want to chime in with other recommendations, please do so.
