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.
Functional art: an oversized park table and bench. Not meant for the old and fragile for sure.

Think about, not only the actual terracing, but the amount of labor it take to transform the natural landscape on the left to the functional walkways, retaining walls, and garden areas on the right.

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.

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!
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.

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.
