In the deep of winter, sometimes it is difficult to shoot photos of nature against a series of extreme weather warnings. But nature can be invited indoors through our lenses and integrated with potted plants. This photo made use of Nikon D850's multiple exposure function and consists of 3 images, 2 outside and one indoors.
Made by Bomard Industries Grand Haven,Michigan (20th century), fiberglass,chromed steel,rubber,other metals and vinyl
The aluminum prototype for this futuristic bicycle was handmade by MG Auto Company in England in 1946 and incorporated an ingenious dynamo that stored the downhill energy and released it on uphill runs.It was prohibitively expensive for consumer production,but in 1960 Bowden contracted with Bomard Industries in Michigan to produce this more mechanically conventional,one- speed version of the dynamic organic design in fiberglass,a new design material.Ultimately,the endeavor was too costly for Bomard Industries as well and the firm went out of business after only manufacturing only 522 examples.

The first BMW M car, the BMW M1 was conceived to challenge Porsche in the mid-1970's Sports Car Championship. Delays with development partner, Lamborghini, led to a late launch of 1979 yet the M1 provided huge entertainment during the two year Procar series which accompanied some Gran Prixs. Many top F1 drivers drove 450bhp racing M1s against private owners. The M1 also won its class at Le Mans on several occasions and in other great road races. The ultimate BMW M1 was the German GT series contender which had twin turbo chargers and produced 850bhp.
This particular BMW M1 was extensively refurbished in 2016 in time for BMW's centenary and celebrations at The Goodwood Festival of Speed.
La manufacture royale de Meissen est fondée en 1710 par Auguste le Fort, prince-électeur de Saxe; roi de Pologne et grand-duc de Lituanie, selon le procédé découvert et mis au point en 1709 par le chimiste Frédéric Böttger. Cette porcelaine dure utilise le kaolin qui provient des mines de kaolinite situées au nord-ouest de la ville de Meissen.

.An example is the brick, six-story Atrium building on the northwest corner of St. Paul and Andrews streets. It was built in 1884 for Tichner and Jacobi tailors for $60,000. When the three top floors burst into flames 10 years later, attracting a throng of onlookers, three clothing manufacturers were located there.
Here is something I do the electrical design for at work. I'd just finished testing. The HDR processing fits a factory and steel very well.
The Packard Automotive Plant is a former automobile-manufacturing factory in Detroit, Michigan where luxury cars were made by the Packard Motor Car Company and later by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
The 3,500,000-square-foot (325,000 m2), plant was designed by Albert Kahn Associates using Trussed Concrete Steel Company products. It is located on 40 acres (16 ha) of land on East Grand Boulevard on the city's east side. It included the first use of reinforced concrete in the United States for industrial construction in the automobile industry.[1][2][3][4][5]
Packard Plant's building number 10 during expansion circa 1911
The Packard plant was opened in 1903 and at the time was considered the most modern automobile manufacturing facility in the world with skilled craftsmen involved in over eighty trades. The factory complex closed in 1958, though other businesses operated on the premises or used it for storage until the late 1990s.
It would appear that the American Manufacturing Bldg was lost for good today in the biggest alarm fire in the last 10years not including 9/11. Apparently the neighborhood were fighting the developers as they tried to declare it a Historic National Landmark. Coincidence or not, the owner of the property had previously in 2003 been investigated for arson on another piece of land in dumbo which went down in similiar fashion.
It is a great loss!
I've always been fascinated by the steam coming out of these towers in the winter. A still photograph really doesn't do this phenomenon justice. But the light was right and I was in town.

A woman who weaves fabric like in old times. Only with hands to turn the thread on a spindle and with the feet will be set the wheel in motion. As a rule, 10 hours are worked here every day.
a monument to the New Year?? … hopefully not a false one, but this is the shadow of my phone whilst welcoming in the New Year up on Sharpenhurst Hill … fireworks all around … very nice to see … and warm enough to be only wearing shorts and a t-shirt!! :-)
Manufacture des Gobelins
Depuis 1662, année où Colbert décida de regrouper les ateliers parisiens en un même lieu, la Manufacture des Gobelins, célèbre dans le monde entier, n’a cessé de marquer de sa signature l’histoire de la tapisserie.
