The current Fischertor city gate was built in 1924, after demolishing the remains of a gate in this place dating to 1609.
The 1609 gate was actually a modification of a 1328 gate. The 1609 gate was nearly completely destroyed in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession, slowly rebuilt, but closed in 1770 due to lack of traffic.
As you can see from my middle-of-the-road point of view, there is still not too much traffic in 2022... 😁

This is my review of the BrickArms TD-9 prototype.
The TD-9 Machine Pistol...Wow! Small enough to fit in a Lego briefcase, yet retaining it's lethal look, the TD-9 Machine Pistol prototype is unique in many ways. While the magazine is a bit small in my opinion, that is something that can't be fixed, unless you don't want it to fit in the Lego briefcase. The TD-9 is grippable in most places, and can be modded in quite a few ways (silencers, scopes/red dots, etc.). In my opinion, it doesn't have many uses other than for spy minifigures, but give it a few modifications and BAM, you can use it for a variety of things. I like how it fits into the Lego briefcase, that's very cool, gives it a nice touch. All in all, the TD-9 is a great prototype, though it doesn't have too many uses in its' un-modded state.
Hope you enjoyed the review!
Any questions about it, and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
Torre de Mangana, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La torre de Mangana es un edificio de la ciudad española de Cuenca, con el estatus de bien de interés cultural. Como un monumento de larga historia, ha tenido varias modificaciones a lo largo del tiempo.
La primera torre de Mangana era de planta cuadrada, y se conoce gracias al pintor Antón Wyngaerde; aunque en el dibujo que dejó de ella (1565) no aparecen la cruz y la veleta de hierro que, en 1532, el rejero Esteban Limosín puso en el chapitel que cerraba la torre, y que estaba recubierto de hojalata.
Hay constancia de que, a fines del siglo XVI, el arquitecto Juan Andrea Rodi ejecutó unas obras en la torre; pero ni éstas ni otras obras realizadas posteriormente alteraron su fisonomía pues, según podemos observar estudiando la vista que de la ciudad realizó Juan Llanes y Massa en el siglo XVIII, la torre era igual a la que dos siglos antes dibujara Wyngaerde.
La caída de un rayo a fines del siglo XVIII y la venida de los franceses a principios del XIX motivaron la intervención del arquitecto Mateo López, que se ocupó de reparar los importantes daños que por estos dos sucesos había sufrido la torre.
Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, se decidió cambiar el remate de la torre; el cual, a pesar de las restauraciones, nos consta que en 1862 estaba en un pésimo estado.
En 1926, la fisonomía de la torre cambiará notablemente, con la reforma que el arquitecto Fernando Alcántara llevó a cabo dentro de un estilo neomudéjar, ajeno al monumento. Suprimió el chapitel y, en su lugar, puso un pequeño cuerpo de campanas, de planta cuadrada, que cubrió con un cupulín. Las paredes fueron revestidas con una decoración rica y colorista en yeso, inspirada en motivos islámicos, principalmente norteafricanos; mientras que las almenas escalonadas que remataban la torre nos remiten a la mezquita cordobesa.
Pero esta pintoresca y exótica torre neomudéjar no habría de ser la definitiva: Mangana volvió a ser nuevamente remodelada en 1970. Con esta restauración se pretendía, según se hace constar en la memoria del proyecto, dignificar una torre que, aunque no se podía considerar un monumento artístico de primer orden, tenía una gran importancia para Cuenca, pues se había convertido en uno de sus símbolos.
Dignificarla significó robustecerla, en este caso. El proyecto que en 1968 realizó Víctor Caballero, supuso encastillar la torre y darle un carácter fortificado y defensivo que como parte de la vieja muralla, había tenido en su origen. Caballero dotó a la construcción de un potentísimo matacán, y la remató sin tejado; con lo que colocó en difícil competencia el nuevo aire compacto cobrado por la torre con sus genuinas características de fragilidad y esbeltez. Diversas opiniones se han manifestado respecto de su restauración, pero es evidente que el monumento ha ganado notoriedad pública y se ha convertido en lugar obligado de visita de la ciudad.
The Mangana tower is a building in the Spanish city of Cuenca, with the status of an asset of cultural interest. As a monument with a long history, it has undergone several modifications over time.
Mangana's first tower had a square plan, and is known thanks to the painter Antón Wyngaerde; although the drawing that he left of it (1565) does not show the cross and the iron vane that, in 1532, the locksmith Esteban Limousin placed on the spire that closed the tower, and which was covered in tin.
There is evidence that, at the end of the 16th century, the architect Juan Andrea Rodi carried out some works on the tower; but neither these nor other works carried out later altered its physiognomy because, as we can see by studying the view of the city made by Juan Llanes y Massa in the 18th century, the tower was the same as the one drawn two centuries earlier by Wyngaerde.
A lightning strike at the end of the 18th century and the arrival of the French at the beginning of the 19th century led to the intervention of the architect Mateo López, who undertook to repair the significant damage that the tower had suffered due to these two events.
During the second half of the 19th century, it was decided to change the top of the tower; which, despite the restorations, we know that in 1862 it was in a terrible state.
In 1926, the physiognomy of the tower will change notably, with the reform that the architect Fernando Alcántara carried out within a neo-Mudéjar style, alien to the monument. He removed the spire and, in its place, put a small body of bells, square in plan, which he covered with a dome. The walls were covered with a rich and colorful plaster decoration, inspired by Islamic motifs, mainly North African; while the stepped battlements that finished off the tower refer us to the Cordovan mosque.
But this picturesque and exotic neo-Mudéjar tower would not be the definitive one: Mangana was again remodeled in 1970. With this restoration, as stated in the project report, it was intended to dignify a tower that, although it could not be considered a An artistic monument of the first order, it was of great importance for Cuenca, as it had become one of its symbols.
Dignifying it meant strengthening it, in this case. The project that Víctor Caballero carried out in 1968, involved encastling the tower and giving it a fortified and defensive character that, as part of the old wall, it had originally had. Caballero endowed the construction with a very powerful machicolation, and finished it off without a roof; with which he placed in difficult competition the new compact air charged by the tower with its genuine characteristics of fragility and slenderness. Various opinions have been expressed regarding its restoration, but it is evident that the monument has gained public notoriety and has become a must-visit place in the city.
Last but not least, the H&K-33 with my own little modifications. :3
I hope you guys liked my mini flood, but thats all for a while, these took quite some time to make. Thanks for all the love. See you when I see you :D

First lights of past December month in this location, which I already wanted to catch with water.
I have been going for more than three years now and I have never seen her like this.
These last few weeks there has been a lot of rain, and I could not pass up the opportunity so on Friday afternoon I checked that there was and planned the next session at dawn to capture the orienting footbridges to the east.
Marjal del Moro is a protected area ZEPA, a wetland located between the municipal terms of Puzol and Sagunto, in the province of Valencia, specifically in the North Huerta. It is one of the most important areas for waterfowl in the province of Valencia.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Monday. :)

Magical sunset over the City of Science from my hometown Valencia.
The picture is a unique Raw, combining a screwed neutral filter of ten steps and black card technique.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Wednesday. :)

A modified 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray photographed at a car show in Ankeny, Iowa.
Developed with Darktable 3.6.0
Someone made unusual modifications to this abandoned, or ghost, ship.
A piece of curved, reinforced sheet metal has been permanently attached to the front of the vessel's pilot house. This is not normal as it would completely block the crew's view and make it impossible to steer the vessel safely from within the pilot house. Photos elsewhere taken from the other side of the boat show that the barrier does not extend as far around the starboard (right) side of the pilot house.
Also, metal bars that run from just below the roof of the pilot house to the top of the railing seem to prop up the port (left) side of the pilot house. This is not a normal feature of modern naval architectural architecture. Among other things, the row of metal bars would get in the way of people wanting to walk along the port side of the boat.
I can describe the modifications but I'm at a loss to explain them.

I was actually planning on attaching this to an M4, but it turned out to be too short.
Inspired by someone over on the BAF, still trying to find who though.
Fontaine Modification Company, responsible for the majority of stand up RHD cab conversions in the US, tried their hand at a dedicated forward control low entry cab in 1998. Called out as the 'LFC' model on the identification plate above the left windshield and known simply as 'The Fontaine' by the drivers, this stillborn atrocity is one of I believe three the company put together before abandoning the project. As I understand it the lead engineer quit mid way through, leaving a disinterested contingent to finish the orders made by essentially beta tester customers, one of whom was my beloved Cloudburst Recycling.
Somewhere along the line in conversion from stock International 4900 w/ DT530 to Fontaine LFC, any and all semblance of reliability was lost. Veteran Cloudburst drivers tell stories of the truck simply dieing mid route. Most of the electrical problems have been ironed out over the years though some persist to this day. But generally the Fontaine can be counted on to run its early morning commercial route twice a week.
Having had the opportunity to help on said commercial route I can say the chassis bit of the truck isn't unpleasant to drive. Not even good, but passable. The McNeilus' reasonably fast pack cycles help make up for a small hopper. The geometry of the dumpster lifting gear out back is a bit off so there are times where you're fighting to align/latch/dump a container. The other McNeilus in the fleet are much better in that regard, seems this one was just half assed. Non standard rear load dumpsters certainly don't make things any easier.
another 48 hours with a tote of mixed bricks from the storage. another goodweekend gone. be safe everyone stay safe. thx for the love..

The Hawker Sea Fury is often regarded as one of the fastest piston-engine military aircraft, reaching speeds of over 460 mph in its production form. While highly modified racing planes like the Grumman F8F Bearcat (Rare Bear) set records, such as 530 mph in 1989, these were extensively altered for performance beyond their original military specifications. Among unmodified piston-engine fighters, only a few, like the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil, with its unique push-pull twin-engine design, approached similar speeds, reaching 474 mph. The definition of the fastest piston-engine aircraft often depends on whether modifications are considered and whether the aircraft was used in a military or civilian context.

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heaven
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

or modification of a (1,1)hex+(1,1)hex stacked hexagon twist tessellation
Like other stacked hexagon twist tessellations it is possible to tessellate the windmill molecule.
Here it is better to see that the branches have a width of 3 pleats.
At 6 windmills I changed them also to the second version, where the central small hexagon is pushed out to this side.

The paper is by John Gerard - 100% Abaka.
Seen here promoting a local garage (who specialise in Audis, BMWs, Mercs and Porsches, AKA, the complete opposite of a Fiat Punto!).
It's gained another owner since. Also note the 4D plate, which may just be my least favourite current car modification fad.
based on the brickmania version, but with some modifications due to not having the instructions (obviously). feedback is welcome.
