On March 31 2012, I was given the privilege of being able to ride on the Ffestiniog railway`s gravity train as a specially-invited brakesman. .
It was an unique experience for me having the sensation of riding down on these wagons from the summit at Tanygrisiau power house to Minffordd, something that my grandfather could well have done when used to work at Maenofferen quarry.
My sincere thanks goes to Peter Dennis & Iain Wilkinson for making it possible for me to undertake this unique experience.
Gravity Pillar at the Belur temple is standing on its own weight only on 3 sides and from the 4th side one can pass a piece of paper. I tried getting a close up and the gap wherein you test sliding the piece of paper, but because of rain was not able to shoot.
The late morning sun lights up the sagebrush as the D&RGW MOW Train charges west past "Gravity Hill" around MP 289.2.
Abandoned Gravity Railroad in Lakeville, Sterling Forest, NY. Gravity line took iron ore from the Scott Mine to the furnace at Lakeville, about 1.5 miles. Abandoned late 19th century. ROW is littered with iron ore chunks, which are easy to collect since they stick to a magnet. ROW built on a stone lined embankment.

tea party today with matt and emily. the most beautiful day today @ serenity acres.
i would love to live there.

Abstract
Theoretical insights from black hole physics combined with recent developments in string theory suggest that at a microscopic level the Universe has a holographic description in terms of degrees of freedom that live on the boundary of space. This is called the "holographic principle". By taking the holographic principle as starting point a simple dimensional argument naturally leads to the emergence of gravity as described by the laws of Newton, or after a relativistic
generalization by the Einstein equations. At a microscopic level the gravitational force is caused by a change in the amount of information, measured by entropy, as a result of the displacements of bodies. Hence, gravity is an entropic force. String theory provides an effective framework in which the entropic origin of gravity can be made manifest. Finally, I discuss the possible implications for quantum mechanics and cosmology.

Okay, this is my first levitation photo. I like the way it turned out, but I wish it were a little more obvious. I have a lot of ideas for levitations that I can guarantee will be up soon.
The shadow work is, well, mediocre, but I'm learning. Slowly but surely.
Also, I'm pretty satisfied with my processing here.
Possibly my favorite stamp in this science series. They came with a book that you were supposed to affix the stamps into, and every so often I find a book where the stamps haven't been used. I've seen a few different ones on indie rocker's guitars in the 90s.
Lapostolle uses gravity to move wine from grape to bottle. Here is the top floor, where the grapes are destemmed by hand, chilled, and gathered into these movable pods known to workers as "R2D2." These pods are moved over holes where the grapes are dropped into oak barrels, where they are fermented before the juices are then piped down to oak barrels on a floor below.

I couldn't sleep so I made a scratch-build 4x5 pinhole camera that takes rollfilm backs and film holders.
Homemade 4x5 Pinhole Camera
Provia 100F in Finally Dead Arista E6 Chems
3 minutes @ f/256 (0.4 mm pinhole, 100mm FL)
I'll post pictures of the camera itself when I get around to finding my DSLR. I'm thinking about getting some laser cut pinholes to try and improve on these images.
Another result of my high speed photography experiments. Guess the shutter speed was not fast enough to freeze the drop. As a result it became an illustration of Newton's theory.
