Have you ever seen the movie "Fury" starring Brad Pitt? Well, this is the leading tank from the cast.
This tank and many others can be found in the Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England. I visited back in June of 2016 and I highly recommend it. As a pacifist, I have to say that I am no supporter or war or violence and I was very much delighted that there was no glorification at this museum, just honest straight hard facts. The exhibits were well displayed and it was easy to get up close with them.
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.
Hacia mucho que no subia una maquina de estas que en su dia trabajaban a lo loco y que ahora estan olvidadas oxidandose. Esta es fruto de la casualidad, vas a una localización buscando un cacharrito y te encuentras dos.
Como siempre trabajo en equipo, con la compañia de Daniel Pastor.
Soundtrack: V.A.C. - "malfunction"
- somehow a "brother-in-spirit" of this one: though (oh well...) I am at least knee-deep into technology of all sorts and kinds, somehow I wonder how it actually works - man controlling machine? This device (an office-building-sized coal excavator) is just, well, sort of a "mountain of steel", making you feel awfully small, pondering what might happen if machines like these actually get out of hands...

I've made and repaired clothes with this machine for years. It's a great appliance to have.
Obviously from a previous summer.
Prospects for macro work THIS summer are greatly diminished I fear. The two gardens where I do most of my insect / flower photography are both out of commission; thank you covid. The historic mansion grounds, originally set to re-open June 1, remain closed and padlocked, with the resurgence of the little virii. Future uncertain.
The city gardens...not fenced or gated, just stand untended. Untilled plots, browning dead weeds...sad. And the word I was given was that no summer workers are going to be hired this year AND volunteers wouldn't be used either. That left a three person crew...and that crew is just too small for this large area.
All of this is subject to change at some point, but for now, my go to macro sites are DON'T GO TO.
Baron von Luftschneider's Steam Flying machine.
Weekend tablescrap project. Ideal for training for much bigger steam powered projects.

German cipher machine that was used to encrypt/decrypt messages during WW II .
In 1940, the Allies succeeded in fully deciphering Wehrmacht messages for the first time. From 1941 to 1944, large-scale decryption became operational and proved decisive in the war.
That device is on display in German Museum Munich.
As I recall, this was a small, seldom-used courtyard surrounded by buildings. The only way you could get to it was through a sliding steel door out of sight on the right.
