Flickr Friday: Time Machine
"And as soon as I had recognized the taste of the piece of madeleine soaked in her decoction of lime-blossom which my aunt used to give me (...) immediately the old grey house upon the street, where her room was, rose up like a stage set to attach itself to the little pavilion opening on to the garden which had been built out behind it for my parents ; and with the house the town, from morning to night and in all weathers, the Square where I used to be sent before lunch, the streets along which I used to run errands, the country roads we took when it was fine. And (…) in that moment all the flowers in our garden and in M. Swann's park, and the water-lilies on the Vivonne and the good folk of the village and their little dwellings and the parish church and the whole of Combray and its surroundings, taking shape and solidity, sprang into being, town and gardens alike, from my cup of tea."
Marcel Proust

Man becoming machine. Contre-jour/reflector. Steel object (candlestick) made by Eleni O'Hara around 1970.
this old machine was used to produce flesh for food at the Beelitz Heilstätten, intresting stuff we found here
In the distant future.
In a land abandoned by man.
Machines wage a continuous war.
Unaware of the futility of their actions.

I've made and repaired clothes with this machine for years. It's a great appliance to have.
Not much to describe this other than "another boring silver TRAXX along the Maintal", but made slightly less boring by the fact it is operated by LINEAS who aren't too common along this busy freight artery.
This machine, built by Bombardier (now Alstom) is owned by AKIEM who are a big provider of locomotives to private operators. Their electric fleet was almost exclusively TRAXX until 2023 when the first of 100 newly built Siemens Vectrons was delivered.
LINEAS started out as the freight arm of the Belgian national railways (B Logistics) but the majority share was sold to a private investor - with SNCB retaining a minority stake - and rebranded as LINEAS.
Thungersheim, July 2023.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
shooting into the show window of the fashion shop in which a rack of sewing machine was set up as interior decoration, with sun light shining directly on the glass i cannot know what did i capture at that time as i cannot see things due to strong reflection but obviously the camera saw things better than me. i really like those sewing machines !
Church of St Joan of Arc, Rouen, France.
The windows are 16th century, but the beautiful and modern-looking church was opened in 1979.

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

- 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...
The driver of BX 36-94 hops back on board after a quick stop at the shop, reminiscent of a scene from the late 1980s.
However, it’s actually early October 2024, during a ride expertly organized by Tamás and Tamás.
A huge thank you to the ÉMVJ team for providing the vehicle and driver for the day! And another big thank you to Flórián for creating a digital replica of the vintage license plate!
