This is actually the Grotto Geyser. It has a look to me that resembles the inside of a washing machine. The water thrashes around inside of it.

The dunlin moves along the coastal beaches it prefers with a characteristic "sewing machine" feeding action, methodically picking small food items. Insects form the main part of the dunlin's diet on the nesting grounds; it eats molluscs, worms and crustaceans in coastal areas.
La notte ascolto le macchine
su per la salita e passano le ore.
Non ho altro da offrirmi
che il rumore dei motori
il raschio delle ruote
i tonfi sordi sui tombini.
E vanno, sono sempre andate.
C’erano i camion
dal di dietro largo,
alti, dopo la scuola,
con la nuvola di nafta,
i motocarri sporchi con la legna
i mobili i rottami.
Tutto puzza di olio e di benzina,
di gente che si muove,
di carcasse nei cimiteri
sotto la pioggia, dove l’erba
spunta cieca tra le gomme,
i radiatori, gli avantreni
sfondati, le portiere sghembe,
i fari spalancati.
È inutile pensarci, poi le schiacciano,
ne fanno altre. Ci sono degli oceani
di macchine. Paesaggi colorati.
Arrivano e si fermano,
la notte. Fanno compagnia.
Qualcuno scende e chiude.
Avranno il muso caldo per un pezzo,
nel silenzio. Un’alba le disegna
immobili con i sedili vuoti.

Häh, falsche Maschine?! Nichts ist wie es war. Da kann man schon mal durcheinander kommen…oder so tun, nur um irgendetwas zu fotografieren.
Oops, wrong machine?! Nothing's the same. You can get confused... or pretend to be, just to take a picture of something.

Como siempre agradecer la compañía a los colegas de Madrid.

Anamakia (Madagascar) – Quand je vois cette machine à sous, à moins de 200 mètres des limites de la décharge à ciel ouvert, je n’en crois pas mes yeux. A proximité, des dizaines de familles s’intoxiquent en triant des ordure pour gagner misérablement leur vie. Je me dis que le bandit manchot ne doit pas fonctionner. J’arrête mon scooter, je m’approche de ce petit casino local et constate que l’engin fonctionne parfaitement. L’homme introduit des pièces déclenchant un bruit de fête foraine.
Je suis resté une dizaine de minutes et malgré son acharnement à alimenter en pièces la machine, le joueur n’a rien gagné. Étonnant !
Slot Machine
Anamakia (Madagascar) – When I saw this slot machine, less than 200 meters from the open-air landfill, I couldn't believe my eyes. Nearby, dozens of families were poisoning themselves by sorting through garbage to eke out a miserable living. I figured the slot machine must be broken. I stopped my scooter, approached this small local casino, and found that the machine was working perfectly. The man inserts coins, triggering a carnival-like noise.
I stayed for about ten minutes, and despite his efforts to feed the machine coins, the player didn't win a thing. Amazing!
I'm going to the Country, Tomorrow, in a small village, for 3 days.
here is a "Curiosity" of this Village !!!

I carry my time machine with me most of the time, it has come in many forms through the years but it is Music. A song can bring back the smell in the room the first time I heard a song play, music can bring back the taste I had with a food shared with music, a song will bring back vivid memories of friends all along the way. A second that crept in the frame is the camera that captures the moment forever.

Marinship

To say that Arlington House and its eighteen storey form dominates not just Margate’s sea front but the entire town would almost be an understatement. Back in 1964 when Arlington House was constructed on the north Kent coast I can’t imagine that Brutalism on this scale was welcomed with open arms. A blue plaque has recently appeared on the structure’s lower level acknowledging Robert Calvert, frontman of Hawkwind who lived here in the late 60s with his parents and siblings. Calvert wrote the lyrics to the hit single Silver Machine as well as the Hawkwind song, inspired by his time in Arlington House, High Rise in which the town’s concrete monolith was branded a “human zoo” and “suicide machine". The blue plaque credits Arlington House as being the “Birthplace of Space Rock” – how cool is that...

Location: Drone Haven
Drone Haven stands as a somber monument to humanity’s fleeting reign, a forsaken city overtaken by the relentless march of nature. Towering, rusted skyscrapers—once symbols of progress—now crumble into the earth, their skeletal frames bound in a suffocating embrace of vines and moss. Faded posters and the echoes of forgotten graffiti serve as grim premonitions: “The End is Near!” On the fringes, a last-ditch survivalist camp briefly defied extinction. Dreamers, with fragile hope, planted gardens and built shelters in a futile act of defiance. But disease, depletion, and discord swiftly snatched away their fleeting defiance, leaving only silence and creeping green. At the city's heart, the butcher shop—a relic of human industry—stands decayed and broken. Its walls, softened by moss and pierced by vines, speak of a once-vibrant world now swallowed by time. The eerie message lingers: “The End is Near!” A grim echo of human ambition, now lost in nature’s quiet dominion. Among the ruins, drones—mechanical phantoms—still wander, remnants of their creators' ambition. They dutifully plant life during the Echocycle, maintaining the city as both a testament to human legacy and nature's quiet triumph. But even these tireless machines, bound by the limits of their energy, will one day cease. The paradox is clear: humanity’s imprint, though indelible, is as ephemeral as the machines it birthed. Drone Haven whispers a haunting truth: humankind, for all its perceived significance, is but a fleeting echo against the eternal backdrop of nature’s vast, unyielding cycles. In the city’s rust and bloom, it mourns the inevitable collapse, the fragility of life, and the inescapable reality that all things—natural or artificial—are bound to fade into silence.

This weekend I made a new cotton canvas cover for my trusty sewing machine and added an embroidered felt birdie to keep me company.

i have no idea why we were in that spot during the time, i forgot. but still, each moment where we're waiting, like this one, is worth a few shots.
i had to remove that terrible restroom sign above his head, otherwise the image was simply not showable.
Die Zeche Nachtigall liegt am Eingang des idyllischen Muttentals in Witten. Hier nahm der Ruhrbergbau vor mehr als _I9A8103300 Jahren seinen Anfang. Zunächst trieb man waagerechte Stollen in den Berg, um an das „schwarze Gold“ zu gelangen, anschließend auch senkrechte Schächte.
The Nachtigall colliery is located at the entrance to the idyllic Muttental in Witten. Ruhr mining began here more than 300 years ago. First, horizontal tunnels were driven into the mountain to get to the “black gold”, and then vertical shafts.
