A little still life from the forge with blacksmith, Pete Mattila's antique drill press. It's a bit of a beast and the proud product of the Buffalo Forge, Buffalo NY.

Actually, i do not really like the colors of this professional film. If i have the choice, i prefer the cheaper Kodacolor Gold 200. Due to Corona there was a shortage of that film in the summer of 2020 (and still is) so i had to resort to whatever film i could get.
The camera i used was my backup camera i fortunately took with me on this trip in case my main camera, an Agfa Ambi Silette, failed. When the Ambi fell apart in Burano and a vital part of the transport mechanism vanished in the water of a canal, i was glad i had the Super Silette with me.
Montal is a well-known gastronomic cult place located in the old Roman zone of Zaragoza, Spain, which has different spaces to enjoy its careful cuisine, as well as a gourmet store, and a very good winery equipped with excellent wines.
It even has a small museum that houses, among other objects, the clock mechanism of the New Tower of Zaragoza, erected in 1504 and demolished in 1892, due to its inclination and dilapidated state of some parts.
"Against the iron will to make it disappear, guided more by particular interests than by reasoned reasons, a group of Aragonese was born, headed by the figure of Mr. Anselmo Gascón de Gotor, carrying out a fervent defense. However, in 1892 one of the most distinguished symbols of the city of Zaragoza." (Source: Montal Website, montal.es/museo-de-la-torre-nueva/)
Photo taken with a Nikon Z6II camera with an attached 7Artisans 10mm F2.8 FishEye lens for full frame cameras, which has 178º coverage, but does not have connection pins with the camera, therefore some of the metadata information or either it is wrong or it does not appear.
LA CÚPULA DE MONTAL, ZARAGOZA, 2024
Montal es un conocido local de culto gastronómico situado en el casco romano antiguo de Zaragoza, España, que tiene diferentes espacios para disfrutar de su esmerada cocina, además de una tienda gourmet, y una bodega muy buen dotada de excelentes vinos.
Incluso tiene un pequeño museo que alberga, entre otros objetos, el mecanismo del reloj de la Torre Nueva de Zaragoza, erigida en 1504 y demolida en 1892, debido a su inclinación y estado ruinoso de algunas partes.
"Contra la voluntad férrea de hacerla desaparecer, guiados más por intereses particulares que por motivos argumentados, nació un grupo de aragoneses, encabezados por la figura de D. Anselmo Gascón de Gotor, realizando una ferviente defensa. Sin embargo, en 1892 desapareció uno de los más insignes símbolos de la ciudad de Zaragoza."

Foto hecha con una cámara Nikon Z6II con una lente acoplada de 7Artisans 10mm F2.8 FishEye para cámaras de formato completo, que tiene una cobertura de 178º, pero no tiene pines de conexión con la cámara, por tanto parte de la información de metadatos o bien es errónea o no aparece.
For 120 pictures in 2020 #70 "Mechanism", this is a small toy with a wind up mechanism. Pull on the cord attached to the white thing and let go. the mechanism causes the toy to jump around aimlessly. Perfectly useless and pointless, but it is a toy :).
Primero, no toques las agujas de tu corazón.
Segundo, domina tu cólera.
Tercero y más importante, no te enamores jamás de los jamases.
Si no cumples estas normas, la gran aguja del reloj de tu corazón traspasará tu piel, tus huesos se fracturarán y la mecánica del corazón se estropeará de nuevo.
This is my entry to the 8th and final round of this year's RogueOlympics. The topic is 'Time’. As always, the challenge is to use no more than 101 pieces. This piece of work consists of 100 pieces.
She who controls space and energy also controls time. She creates and destroys, judges and rules. Everything is transient, but not she, who forms time itself. She is the Master of the Universe...
...or she is simply an average bug, tinkering with her latest toy, an orrery.
The mechanism is functional. Check it out here: flic.kr/p/2nhWy2e
historic steam locomotive out of service
year of construction 1942
How does the drive system of a steam locomotive work?
The pistons in the cylinders of the steam engine are alternately supplied with steam from the front and rear. The reciprocating motion of the pistons is transmitted to the driving wheels via the connecting rods and thus converted into a rotating motion.
I don't normally post camera photos but I am so impressed by this little machine. The tooling and machining is meticulous and it has a reassuring all metal heft to it. It has a linked EV system which is a total nuisance but it is quite easy to disassemble the lens and unlock the mechanism.
