I shall let you all ponder for 24 hours before explaining what we have here .
Well it is over 24 hours and an explanation is required .
What you see is what is known as a " water separator " and it is indeed found on the back of a dry cleaning machine . In dry cleaning the solvent ( perchloroethylene ) is used over and over again and is constantly filtered plus it is distilled to remove all the muck and grunge ( and that is a messy job raking out the still !!! ) . In distilling the solvent is boiled and the vapour drawn off and condensed to recover the pure solvent , however there will be some water within the condense and perc and water do not mix and indeed you do not want excessive water in the cleaning process . Thus the condensed liquids flow back through the water separator with the solvent being the heavier liquid filling the bottom half and the water floating on the top of the solvent . The interface of the two liquids often has a build up of matter and this is what you are looking at here through a glass sight glass . As I no longer work in dry cleaning this shot was taken at a colleagues shop when I popped in for some haberdashery for my wife - and of course a natter .
As a note , environmental regulations dictate that for every litre of solvent used you will be expected to clean a minimum of 80 kilos of work !
The is the intersection of two walls on an office building at 199 S. Los Robles in Pasadena. The building was pretty boring overall, but from this perspective it was pretty cool.
Here's the street view. I was on my bicycle when I took the shot above and positioned myself right in the cleft of the first "V" closest to the sidewalk.
In the dark of the night when it's just you and your subject and you move in for the close up...
you wonder what they're thinking.
As a kid I could recognize Orion's belt as the most prominent feature of the fall and winter skies over New York. I had also seen pictures of the Horsehead Nebula without thinking about where it was, since I wasn't going to see it anyway except on telescope boxes or in a book. Now with a couple of tricks applying everyday technology to backyard astronomy, I can see the two spectacular color structures -- the Flame and the Horsehead -- flanking the first star in the belt, Alnitak. I'm very pleased with my new Borg optics which enabled me to get this sharp colorful image on my laptop within a few minutes of setting up my scope last night.
Tech stuff: Borg 71FL lens on Starlight Xpress SX-694C camera with Astronomik CLS filter. Ioptron CubePro Mount in EQ configuration guided with SBIG ST-i Guider and PHD2. 12 X 5 minute exposures stacked in real time using AstroToaster interface with Deep Sky Stacker. Image finished in PixInsight. Imaged from my yard 10 miles north of New York City.

A Estação Ferroviária de Porto - São Bento, igualmente denominada de Estação de São Bento, e originalmente como Estação Central do Porto, é uma interface de caminhos de ferro, que serve a cidade do Porto, em Portugal; embora tenha entrado ao serviço no dia 7 de Novembro de 1896, só em 5 de Outubro de 1916 é que se deu a inauguração oficial. Está situada na Praça de Almeida Garret, na cidade do Porto, tendo o edifÃcio da Estação, de influência francesa, sido delineado pelo arquitecto portuense José Marques da Silva.

São Bento Railway Station (Portuguese: Estação de São Bento) is located in the city of Porto, in Portugal. Inaugurated in 1916, the historical station is known for its tile (azulejo) panels that depict scenes of the History of Portugal. It is located in the Almeida Garret Square, in the centre of the city. It remains in regular use as a railway station, served by trains operated by Comboios de Portugal.
The name of the station derives from a Benedictine monastery built on this spot in the 16th century. The monastery fell victim of a fire in 1783, was later rebuilt, but was in a grave state of disrepair at the end of the 19th century. In the context of an expansion of the railway system in Portuguese territory, King Carlos I laid the first stone of the station in 1900. The project was entrusted to Porto architect José Marques da Silva, who designed a building under the influence of French Beaux-Arts architecture.

A pesar de que el primer tren llegó el dÃa 17 de noviembre de 1896, la estación sólo fue inaugurada oficialmente en 1916. El edificio, uno de los más importantes obras artÃsticas de principios del siglo XX, es del arquitecto Marques da Silva e su atrio está revestido con veinte mil azulejos con representaciones históricas del pintor Jorge Colaço.

That's my video work, Future City (vimeo.com/tizzycanucci/futurecity), showing just inside the front door. First ever rl exhibition I've had art in, rather than being the administrator for.
The ‘Interface’ exhibition organised by neo:artists is at neogallery23, in the Market Place Shopping Centre in Bolton. It runs until 20th May 2018, open Thursday-Sunday from 11am-5pm. Admission is free and the space is fully accessible.
A map showing the shortest lines connecting each building entrance with the closest street segment. The hotter the colours the shorter is the distance. This mapping method clearly highlight the districts build in the 19th century, with tight proximities between buildings in favour of pedestrian movement.
"Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence."

"They constantly try to escape
From the darkness outside and within
By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good."

What would the mind's eye of an artificial intelligence be like?
Ever since I got the Hipstamatic Vixen film in December, I've been experimenting with it combined with the Salvador 84 film and all sorts of post-processing craziness (I've noted what adjustments I could in the tags in case you want to try and replicate these effects). Most of the results of my experiments have been abstract muddles not really worth sharing, but I quite like this one!

Morphing revisited from the early 2000 phenom, with ai its soooo much neater and easier
Once a year a train is run from Palmerston North over the whole of the electrified section of the North Island Main Trunk line to Te Rapa yard(Hamilton) to inspect the pantograph/overhead line interface. Because there is no longer a dedicated observation carriage in the Kiwi Rail fleet, the inspection staff have to travel in the cab of a diesel locomotive trailing the powered electric locomotive!
On this occasion some additional rail-carrying wagons were sent along for the sedate 55 Km/hr ride to Hamilton.....
The train is seen as it is about to pass under Ngaroto Road inbetween Te Awamutu and Ohaupo.
Merlin is a modular synthesis environment for the iPad, allowing artists to create sounds with a visual, node-based patching interface. This is a proof of concept in the early stages of development.
The media consumption experience is poised to transform, and fast. Technologies that have been tinkered with for years, ranging from virtual and augmented reality to sensors and robotics, are finally on the tipping point of mass commercialization. As the physical and digital worlds converge, how will these technologies shape how people interact with digital media?
On November 18, 2014, NYC Media Lab and Razorfish hosted the second occasion of Future Interfaces, an evening "science fair" on the future of human-computer interaction and digital media. More than 300 guests came to go hands-on with 30 demos from startups and universities to see what's on the verge of commercialization, what’s still in the lab, and what advances will change the nature of media and communications in the future.
