How Scots lived 2,500 years ago - did they use them to protect their families and livestock from the local Bears, Wolves & Lynx etc. as it would appear they traded, manufactured and farmed - it is also questionable that they ate fish despite the fact Loch Tay must have been full of Salmon & Trout.
There sure are some nice little flowerbeds in my brother-in-law's manufactured home complex, this one caught my eye as I wandered around after dinner.
The Toronto Carpet Factory Building on Mowat Avenue and its surrounding campus of industrial structures is an example of 1900s' turn of the century industrial architecture and currently houses a mixture of design, technology, media and marketing companies.
Built as a carpet manufacturing facility between
1889 and the 1920s. Ongoing restoration.

The annual WIldwood Classic Car Show was this past weekend.
I think there were more cars this year than ever before.
I only took a limited amount of pictures this year.
Many of the cars I'd seen before and have photographed many times....and in the end, what am I going to do with all these car pics?
But there were a few that caught my eye, like this 1958 Edsel Pacer Convertible.
Unfortunately for the Ford Motor Company, the public didn't seem too impressed. Folks thought they were over-priced and ugly.
Fords lost millions on the development, manufacturing and marketing of this car.
As for me, I like it! But then, I've always been one to root for the underdog!
It was only made for 3 years from 1958-1960.

Ty51 is the heaviest Polish steam locomotive, manufactured at HCP in 1953 until 1958, in total 232 were produced, 2160 hp.
The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car. It went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967. Four distinct generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009. [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro]

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

The heritage of Ibi, a manufacturing town in the mountainous interior of Alicante province, eastern Spain.
The reality according the online -information:
a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.There are seven colours in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The Falcon's Scepter was developed and manufactured just before the start of a the Martian civil wars, and came to represent the oppression and removal of civil liberties under the rule of the monarch tyrant "Steve". A true fighter and bomber hybrid - this fast and deadly vessel could successfully defend its payload deep into enemy territory and strike at the heart of the resistance.
Reminds me of a slightly more refined version of my "Boom wing.

Another shot on black with some mild refinements so unoticable that you probably won't even notice.
Also, I should mention it fits a fig, and the wings are slightly adjustable to form different configurations.
On the Baker College campus in Allen Park Michigan is this sculpture which I believe pays homage to engineering and manufacturing. With the exception of the legs (which are made from tree limbs) this fine looking animal is constructed out of everything form hubcaps, tractor seats, snow shovels to fifty five gallon drums. It stands about ten feet tall.
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.
J'aurais bien aimé l'appeler "le complot des plots" mais je l'ai trouvé peut-être trop sibyllin !
Bref. Après un petit post-traitement en N&B partiel, voici que notre plot et notre chantier, rue aux Sieurs, semblent tout de suite... Presque photogéniques !

Swine flu from Mexico, news of manufacturing plant scandals that made it back to the U.S., SARS 1 pandemic from China, SARS 2 from China, tariffs, a trade war turning into a cold war, the worldwide Covid pandemic from Wuhan of 2020-2021 that crippled the economy, which nearly shut the company permanently down.
Things are shifting. There are persuasive arguments being discussed among CEOs about hidden long-term costs of manufacturing overseas that do not show up in quarterly and annual financial statements but that bite back hard. Has the equilibrium point and risk shifted so that their company's best financial interest is to bring manufacturing back? That means higher prices. Will those discussions become reality?

NASA is partnering with Aerojet Rocketdyne to advance 3D printing technologies, known as metal additive manufacturing, and its capabilities for liquid rocket engines in landers and on-orbit stages/spacecraft.
The Robotic Deposition Technology (RDT) team, led out of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is designing and manufacturing innovative and lightweight combustion chambers, nozzles, and injectors that will incorporate automated robotic deposition 3D-printing technologies: cold spray deposition, laser wire direct closeout, laser powder bed fusion, and laser powder directed energy deposition. The goal is to evolve these processes using weight-optimized materials to validate operability, performance, and reusability through hot fire testing.

Maryland Department Of Transportation NPCU (Non-Powered Control Unit) #7100 sits for the weekend on a stub track at the former B&O roundhouse in Brunswick Yard on September 3, 1990. The 7100 was manufactured by EMD in February 1951 for the B&O as F7 #293A-a phase 1 F7 to be precise. It was renumbered 4553 during 1957 when all remaining B&O steam locomotives were renumbered from a 4 digit series to a three digit series to make room for the expanding diesel electric fleet.

Vesta Tilley was born Matilda Powles in 1864, in a road off Commandery Street in Worcester. Her father worked at Worcester Royal Porcelain, but he was also a performer and encouraged her early career.
She began performing as male characters, such as Burlington Bertie, and became one of the biggest music hall stars of the period. After a brief retirement she returned to the stage during WWI to support recruitment drives and perform for servicemen.
Following the outbreak of World War I and before conscription, Vesta and her husband Sir Abraham Walter de Frece joined other peers from the entertainment sector on a campaign to support the war effort. They embarked on a series of fund raising activities for war related charities. They also set about actively recruiting men for the armed forces. During this period Vesta’s stage characters mainly depicted soldiers and all her songs were patriotic in nature. She played the role of ‘Tommy in the Trench’ and ‘Jack Tar Home from Sea’ and encouraged men in the audience to join her on the stage and enlist during her show. She also sang such songs as 'Jolly Good Luck to the Girl Who Loves a Soldier', 'The Army of Today's All Right', ‘A Bit of a Blighty One’ and 'Six Days' Leave'. At this point in her career, Vesta was a great music hall star acclaimed around the country, and she was very capable of influencing peoples’ opinion. Additionally, variety theatres were hugely popular and were often used as a hub for war propaganda.
Vesta chose to sing cheerful songs, not only with the aim of being patriotic but also to raise the morale of her audience. ‘The Army of To-day’s all right’ was especially successful in encouraging new recruits to join up the war effort and even the War Office used the title for a poster asking for volunteers.
In one week alone, while performing in Hackney, she managed to enlist a whole battalion, ‘The Vesta Tilley Platoon’, supported by Mr Horatio Bottomley (1860-1933) the politician, self-proclaimed ‘Unofficial Recruiting Agent to the British Empire’ and credited with conducting twenty recruiting meetings and 340 patriotic war lectures across the country. The impact of her work during World War I gained Vesta the nickname of ‘Britain’s greatest recruiting sergeant’.
Her performances were also aimed at serving men, who often gave her tips on how to improve her military characters. Vesta enjoyed working with soldiers as she liked to appear as realistic as possible on stage. Throughout the war Vesta became a popular symbol of home for soldiers on the Front, who used to send her requests for her costumes and make-up to use in their own military concerts on war camps, and she was only too happy to comply.
