Behold this study in AI, a Forest River A213HWESP A-frame camping trailer morphed into a steampunk nightmare, a shimmering, brass-clawed leviathan squatting on a sun-blistered patch of dirt like a rogue AI’s vision of Victorian chaos unleashed! Its jagged, angular frame stabs at the sky, a reckless middle finger to conformity, studded with porthole windows and brass fittings that wail with the echoes of 19th-century lunacy, as if an AI had chugged Jules Verne’s entire bibliography and vomited up a blueprint for madness, slapped onto a tow hitch. Strapped to its rear, that leather suitcase—oh, man, it’s a weathered, digital relic, packed to the brim with propane, the precious lifeblood of the camping wild, a volatile elixir ready to ignite the fires of adventure in this untamed, simulated frontier. The whole rig hunkers down on its wheels, brass flashing like the icy, unblinking gaze of a neural net gone rogue, poised to drag you into the glitchy, uncharted wilderness of a coded wasteland. This ain’t just a camper—it’s an AI’s unhinged dream of liberty, a binary-fueled rocket to the brink of reason, and I’m already half-crazed just downloading its chaotic data stream!
An everyday scene that has morphed into history. The rubbish containers at larger premises was often in the form of these big galvanised tubs which were brought to the vehicle on three wheeled trolley. The principle is the same as wheelie bins only bigger and with one big flaw, no lid. That was fine on a bright windless day as here but on a windy day paper, packaging and cardboard went every where, we had them at work and the mess after a collection could be dreadful. TVP 876H was Birmingham's 521R in the fleet and was a Dennis Paxit, that was new August 1969 - July 1970, this shot looks 1975ish by the sparkling Austin 1100. The picture looks to be in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham.

By 1992, my tastes in railroad photography had morphed from quantity to quality. The Amador Central hit my radar, as it was dependent on the beleaguered timber industry, and its motive power was a pair of 40+ year old Baldwin S-12s. Just 55 miles to the south of AMC's base at Martell, California, the Sierra Railroad had a trio of Baldwin S-12s at its enginehouse in Oakdale. If you had an affinity for photogenic shortlines - especially those with elderly locomotives constructed by minority builders - the Sierra foothills in Central California were the place to be.
These photos were taken the first time I visited the Amador Central Railroad in July 1992. My wife and I had chased the SP 4449 south from Portland the previous weekend, and we were visiting our friend Tom Messer in Fair Oaks. He took me to Martell so we could chase AMC. Unfortunately, the day we chose for a visit was a day that the railroad only switched out the Georgia Pacific mill, and did not run down the hill to the Southern Pacific interchange at Ione. These are the images I recorded on Kodachrome that day.
With the mill switching complete, AMC 9 brings two loads out. The track going to the left was AMC's line to Ione.
The Stock Market Crash of October 1929 quickly morphed into the Great Depression, which reached a nadir in 1931 as the worst effects of the American downturn impacted other nations. And yet in the midst of these cataclysmic economic events, there were still folk who could pay the then-astonishing price of $5,000 a luxury car like this Lincoln. The company was by then in the hands of Ford Motor Company, whose deep pockets enabled the brand to withstand the fiscal hurricane better than other top-end manufacturers.
Meanwhile, Menai Coaches had morphed into Jan's Coaches just before I made this trip, with around 3 or 4 coaches being used. This former East Kent Leopard, which had looked thoroughly tatty and unloved during its two years with Menai Coaches, had been transformed by this bold new livery for the Jan's fleet. It didn't help their fortunes though, as the firm had entirely packed in within a year or so, certainly by the end of 1992.
Sadly, the Leopard didn't even make it that far, being burnt out in early 1992, so this was the only time I ever saw it.
The really spooky thing about this vehicle is that it carried the plate PFN 873 from 1984 to 1988 at East Kent, moving up to Menai Coaches in 1989. The donor AEC Regent became XKO 41A in 1984, and had been bought by Menai Coaches in 1987 ! They sold it on to a private owner in Bangor earlier in 1989, so the two PFN 873s were never quite re-united here.

No longer exists and has morphed into a Skoda and Seat dealership so at least still car based. Still looks very different in the present day and so hard to work out where it was I have to thank Simon for giving me the location of this one. www.google.com/maps/@51.4511366,-2.5633517,3a,75y,90h,85....
The dull grey morning morphed as the sun peeked over the horizon. This was a fun session at the Makuu Cliffs. The walk home wasn’t so fun as the rain poured on me the whole way.

To serve the Millennium Dome two new services were laid on by TfL, both contracted to London Central, who bought the 'MDs' (rather flashy looking DAFs with 'GMT' registrations) to operate them. The M1 shuttled between Charlton station and the Dome - but on this day in June 2000 two are seen at Eltham station. Both are gas powered. If I remember rightly there was no train service to Charlton on that day so Eltham station was deemed an alternative connection point.
The M1 proved to be more popular with people going to North Greenwich station than to the Dome. In due course it morphed into the 486 running all the way from Bexleyheath at a high frequency - though the MDs didn't last very long.
Morphe; Aristotle’s term for form. In Aristotle’s Metaphysics there is a duality between hyle as prime matter and morph‘ as that which forms this matter into the sensible things of the world. You're provided a body, mind, and soul. It's how you "morph" that matters.
*Kosmos Noetos. Plato’s real (transcendental) world of forms.
Use wisely.

This Dark Morphed Red-tailed Hawk has the inner layer of it's eyelids closed.
This layer is called the nictitating membrane, which someone on the web defines as, "a whitish or translucent membrane that forms an inner eyelid in birds, reptiles, and some mammals. It can be drawn across the eye to protect it from dust and keep it moist."
Souvent trahissant morphée je flirte avec les aurores, mais seules mes jambes sont éveillées et mon esprit balbutie encore.
Alors la nuit m'accueille et me montre sa vraie couleur. Car la nuit n'est pas noire, elle est couleurs. Oui, elle est couleurs...

One of the best oooold skins (and i mean old ) !So goes to show, that it all depends how you dress it up ...or rather down in this case ! And for the record ...i didn't have to morph the hell out of that either.Shame the creator has just vanished in to thin air !
The Ferry Building in San Francisco is a historic landmark that once served as a transportation hub but has now morphed into a marketplace full of cafes and restaurants. It sits along the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street and you will find many of the historic trolley cars making stops in the front. One evening I took the short stroll from my hotel over to this place, in hopes of getting a shot or two. I was happy to find it deserted inside, so of course I got a few shots there, but I was more happy when I wandered outside and located an adjacent pier that offered this wonderful view of the structure. Once I saw those neon lights on top that spell out "Port of San Francisco" I knew I was in photography heaven. I rather like nighttime photography, though I don't often have time to pursue it, so I was pretty fired up to get some architecture, skyline, water, HDR, darkness and all those twinkly lights and reflections in one fell swoop.
This is a 5 exposure HDR shot at f/7.1, with exposures from -2 to +2. The longest exposure went 30 seconds, which feels like an eternity when you are excited about seeing what you came up with. I merged them in Photomatix, then made some adjustments in PSE and Aperture.
