Dark clouds over the historic building elements

Keep calm and wrap presents !!

  

It was one thing when the cat knocked over the rolls of Christmas wrapping paper and the basket of bows in the basement where they're stored. But when kitty somehow managed to turn on the faucet in the basement basin and knocked the plug into the drain, things got really bad...

 

Done for Smile On Saturday: "Gift Wrapping Materials" theme

 

Actually folks, we don't have a cat and the basement didn't really flood, but I had to come up with a story line for the image. :-)

Here's a Red-shouldered Hawk on its way to the nest with some additional nesting material. I believe that the Florida Red-shouldered breed earlier than the species in other parts of the country. Once site had them breeding from January to May when general reference books state the species breed from May to July. In any event, I'm hoping that they are not just faking us out and that we have some new chicks to celebrate. In the course of my reading I learned that the females are larger than the males (probably smarter too) and that the pair are monogamous. Having said that, I've never been able to see the size difference but will pay more attention in the future. Happy 2023 everyone. (Buteo lineatus)

Completely oblivious to me and came down feet away collecting nesting material. Magical or what. Another seventh heaven moment for me.

A Dark-eyed Junco pauses briefly with a trove of nesting material before taking it to add to a structure hidden among grasses on the ground. This bird was seen at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site near Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Egret found a twig for it's nest.

 

Thank you for your visit!!

This was another sign of spring this week. The squirrel had quite the mouthful of nesting material. Happy Fence Friday!

The cast-iron facade of an old Lord and Taylor department store in Manhattan's Flatiron district.The façade was badly rusting in the 1980s,but there's hardly any signs of that thanks to some sensitive restoration work done to it in later years.The architect for the building used the cast-iron unabashedly and much to the surprise of many,considering that only the facade of buildings was made with the material.He made the entire store from cast-iron! Now,I know some of you like to say that a building has nice "ornate" detail and that's fine,but I like to be a little bit more specific.That's just me.In those beautifully arched and deep-set windows for example,there are not two,but four to six Corinthian columns in each one.That's pretty amazing!Won-derful,intricate ironwork in the balconies.Did you notice that the ironwork and railing on each balcony were different in design?And what about those neat looking corbels.What's that?Now that's detail to me,giving a description of each feature on the structure.The architect went all-out here when he designed this really impressive building.Kudos to him.Have a nice weekend,everybody.daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2010/04/surviving-sliver-o...

What better to do on a cold wintry rainy day ... have some fun with this week's Monday Macro theme of abstract "What Is That"

 

Clue ... This strong material has a main use ... but then is great for using in many other situations.

 

More fun macros to follow :)

1923 Locomobile, Model 48 from the Nickel period. $9000 dollars when new in 1923!

 

Locomobile was one of the earliest manufacturers in the advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after it's founding in 1899, the company was located in Watertown Massachusetts. In 1900, production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut where it remained until the company's demise in 1929. The example above is a 1923 Model 48 touring car, and a very original example that had been owned by one family for over 60 years. Power is provided by a 525ci T-head 6 cylinder engine that is rated at a true 100hp. President Warren G. Harding had the exact some car and model during his tenure in the White House.

 

Model 48 and the Durant years

The most important for the marque became the impressive Model 48. Introduced in 1911 as the "type M," it had a very conservative, perhaps dated, concept. It had a conventional but huge chassis with a wheelbase of 143 inches (3,632 mm). Its engine was a straight six with side valves; cylinders were still cast in pairs and it featured a nonremovable cylinder head. Displacement was 429.4 cu in (7.0 L), from a 41⁄2+ in × 41⁄2+ in (114 mm × 114 mm) bore and stroke, giving it a 48.6-hp tax rating by the North American Chamber of Commerce. While called the "M" internally, this car is usually referred to by its tax hp rating. The brake horsepower rating was somewhere north of 90 for the original model, higher in the later versions. Quality of materials and workmanship were impeccable and among the best in the world. Such was also its pricing: A typical open-body cost about $10,000 when the average Model T Ford Phaeton cost about $300. Locomobile also offered custom designs for the lamps and metal work, carried out by Tiffany Studios. Until 1915, left- or right-hand drive could be specified; afterwards, left-hand drive became standard. Right-hand drive cars were meant for export and sat on a chassis four inches shorter. Around 1919, the engine was updated with a longer 51⁄2+ in (140 mm) stroke, for 525 cu in (8.6 L) displacement while retaining the same tax hp rating.

 

A smaller "38 hp" model, very similar to the Model 48, was added in 1913. The model 38 has a 425 cu in (7.0 L), 62 bhp (46 kW) version of the T-head six and sits on a somewhat shorter 140 inches (3,556 mm) wheelbase. By 1914, Locomobile had stopped selling all four-cylinder models to concentrate exclusively on sixes.

 

In July 1922, Locomobile was acquired by Durant Motors, which not only continued using the Locomobile brand name for their top-of-the-line autos until 1929, but also still produced the Model 48 until its demise in 1929. Until the mid-1920s, this car was Locomobile's only offering. In 1925, the marque brought out their first new model, the 8-66 Junior Eight, with a more contemporary straight-eight engine, and more importantly, a lower price of $1,785.

  

Unbelievable!

The sanctuary of Vat Phou is located on the highest terrace reached by climbing the steep stairways. Unused stone materials were scattered over the terrace in the woodland.

 

The temple in the photo is supposed to be an Angkorian reconstruction in the 11th century re-using the stone materials of Shresthapura built during the Chenla period. Its rear section is built with bricks.

The Angkorian Hindu temple was converted to a Theravada Buddhist temple by the Laotians arrived here after the waning of Angkor Empire in the 14th century.

It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.

Wupatki National Monument in Arizona. These structures were abandoned about 1200 A.D., so to me, it's amazing that so many structures in this area are still standing.

Female Eastern Bluebird gathering nesting material. After all the going back and forth from box to box, she decided to nest in the one. She was very busy. Lets hope for a succesful brood. My backyard. Central Bucks, PA.

This little lady was very hard at work bringing nesting material to her box. Mountain Bluebird taken west of Calgary, Alberta.

With nesting material in tow, off to finish up the nest.
