I said there was going to be a second one. The first was '49 Fordish, while this one is '49 Mercuryish. What do you think?

I took myself on a bit of an expedition last week up to the Cwm Rheidol lead mine ruins. It was a bit of a last minute decision so my Light painting kit was limited - I'm going back at some point with some more toys (and a better safety plan!!!*)

Grade-II*-listed shot tower in the Boughton district of Chester. The tower is the oldest of three remaining shot towers in the UK and probably the oldest such structure still standing in the world.
Red-brick tower is 168 feet (41.2 m) tall, Built by Walkers, Parker & Co. in 1799. The lift was added in 1971. This was one of only three such towers built to manufacture musket shot for the Napoleonic Wars, the Chester tower was still in use as late as 2001.
In 1783, William Watts of Bristol,Bristol took out a patent for his new technique, a process "for making smallshot perfectly globular in form and without dimples, notches and imperfections which other shot hereto manufactured usually have on their surface".
Watt's technique, was to allow molten lead- to which the deadly poison arsenic was added- to be poured from the top of the tower, passing through a griddle to separate it into tiny pellets before landing in a wooden vat of water below.

I may have gotten my butt kicked but that's ok because I really liked the winner. (I voted for them >:D)

ཞ་བསྐོར་བ། Circling Lead
Skal bzang tshe brtan
This short film focuses on presenting a ritual to eliminate a child's fear that might be caused by fearing animals, humans, sprites, demons - anything visible or invisible.
Filmed in Chu ring (Qurang) Village, Thang dkar ma (Tanggemu) Town, Gser chen (Gonghe) County, Mtsho lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mtsho sngon (Qinghai) Province, PR China.
A ritual conductor extracts lead from a bullet that ideally killed an animal, however, lead might also be extracted from a motorcycle battery. The conductor melts the lead with butter in a ladle. Once melted, the conductor holds the ladle of flaming lead and to circles above the head of the child while chanting, “Appear a dog if they feared a dog. Appear a livestock if they feared some livestock. Appear a human figure if they fear a human. Evil demon or sprite appear that induced fear.”
This is done three times. Each time after pouring the liquid lead into a bowl of cold water, the now solid lead is touched to the chest (heart) of the child and head. The conductor and others examine the lead and speculate what it resembles to learn the cause of the fear. Finally, after three times, the lead is melted again with butter in the ladle. The lead is then made into a round shape that the child wears with other amulets to protect the child from fear.
After this ritual, the child who was afraid and cried constantly became tranquil, and slept soundly.

转铅治恐
这部短片主要阐述了一种传统的仪式去降低和制止孩子的恐惧。恐惧大多是因为孩子受了外界影响。比如说，孩子被某种动物, 某个人，风，妖魔鬼怪看得见或看不见的。
拍摄地：青海省海南州藏族自治州共和县塘格木镇曲让村
按照传统方式，仪式主持者从一个射死动物的子弹里提取铅，这是视为最好的铅。但是现在呢，铅可以从摩托电瓶里提取出来。然后仪式主持者将铅和少量的黄油放在一个铁勺里加热，当铅开始融化，起火时将铁勺拿到受惊的孩子。在受惊了的孩子头上转几圈。此时此刻，仪式主持者要念，“若是怕了狗，狗现形！若是怕了牲畜，牲畜现形！若是怕了人，人现形！妖魔鬼怪怕了什么，什么现形！“
转铅要转三次。每次把融化了的铅倒入冷水碗里，然后将凉的铅放在孩子的胸部（心上），再到头上。其次，其他人可以看铅的形状，去推测，断定是什么到底惊吓了孩子。最后，三次转完后，再将铅与少量黄油融化，然后把铅做出圆形扎出一个小小的孔，再让孩子与护身符一起戴在身上。
通常仪式举行完，受到惊吓的孩子不会大哭大叫，反而睡得也很稳。

Sinkholes are frequently linked with karst landscapes.
Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone or other carbonate rock, salt beds, or in other rocks, such as gypsum, that can be dissolved naturally by circulating ground water. Sinkholes also occur in sandstone and quartzite terrains.

"Steps lead to Hog's Hall where there is a collection of leather fire buckets and early pully-operated and later battery-driven bells." - info from the Burghley House mini guide.
"Burghley House is a grand sixteenth-century English country house near Stamford, Lincolnshire. It is a leading example of the Elizabethan prodigy house, built and still lived in by the Cecil family. The exterior largely retains its Elizabethan appearance, but most of the interiors date from remodellings before 1800. The house is open to the public and displays a circuit of grand and richly furnished state apartments. Its park was laid out by Capability Brown.
The house is on the boundary of the civil parishes of Barnack and St Martin's Without in the Peterborough unitary authority of Cambridgeshire. It was formerly part of the Soke of Peterborough, an historic area that was traditionally associated with Northamptonshire. It lies 0.9 miles (1.4 km) south of Stamford and 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Peterborough city centre.
The house is now run by the Burghley House Preservation Trust, which is controlled by the Cecil family.
Burghley was built for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, who was Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I of England, between 1555 and 1587, and modelled on the privy lodgings of Richmond Palace. It was subsequently the residence of his descendants, the Earls, and since 1801, the Marquesses of Exeter. Since 1961, it has been owned by a charitable trust established by the family.
Lady Victoria Leatham, antiques expert and television personality, followed her father, Olympic gold-medal winning athlete, IAAF President and MP, David Cecil, the 6th Marquess, by running the house from 1982 to 2007. The Olympic corridor commemorates her father. Her daughter, Miranda Rock, is now the most active live-in trustee. However, the Marquessate passed it in 1988 to Victoria's uncle, Martin Cecil, 7th Marquess of Exeter, and then to his son, William Michael Anthony Cecil, both Canadian ranchers on land originally bought by the 5th Marquess, who have not lived at Burghley.
The house is one of the main examples of stonemasonry and proportion in sixteenth-century English Elizabethan architecture, reflecting the prominence of its founder, and the lucrative wool trade of the Cecil estates. It has a suite of rooms remodelled in the baroque style, with carvings by Grinling Gibbons. The main part of the house has 35 major rooms, on the ground and first floors. There are more than 80 lesser rooms and numerous halls, corridors, bathrooms, and service areas.
In the seventeenth century, the open loggias around the ground floor were enclosed. Although the house was built in the floor plan shape of the Letter E, in honour of Queen Elizabeth, it is now missing its north-west wing. During the period of the 9th Earl's ownership, and under the guidance of the famous landscape architect, Capability Brown, the south front was raised to alter the roof line, and the north-west wing was demolished to allow better views of the new parkland. A chimney-piece after the design of Venetian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi was also added during his tenure.
The so-called "Hell Staircase" and its neighbour "The Heaven Room" has substantial ceiling paintings by Antonio Verrio, between 1697 and 1699. The walls to the "Hell Staircase" are by Thomas Stothard, who completed the work about a century later. The Bow Room is decorated with wall and ceiling paintings by Louis Laguerre." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
This one was a little crazy but the result is kind of fun. After doing the air jet into colored water I decided to try the same thing with molten lead.
You don't see that kind of thing often.
I needed a little more preparation. You need some distance with flying molten lead.
The air went through a jury rigged sprinkler valve, the same valve I used for my original air cannon. I re-wired the switch so I could be further away (about six feet). The air jet generated about ten pounds of lift so I rigged up a bunch of lab clamps to keep everything somewhat in place. The lead was melted using my backpacking stove. I was little worried about the lead falling on the fuel canister, but I used a nearly empty one in case it did decide to explode.
Everything worked fine on the first try, but I had forgotten to increase the camera sample time and missed most of the action. The second try went fine.
The whole thing was complicated by the 15-30 mph wind gusts today. Damn Santa Ana's. But it beats cowering inside cursing the weather.
Cheers.
