I don't really know exactly what this is - I saw it in the Aviation Museum. Anyway, I liked it, so I photographed it.
Three Pistons of a trumpet, very hard but interesting instrument.
that's the trumpet of "L'art de la Joie..."
Les Roches Tuilière et Sanadoire sont des « protrusions » (En géologie, une protrusion se forme lors d’une éruption volcanique lorsque la viscosité extrême de la lave fait que celle-ci monte lentement sous la forme d’un piston cylindrique que l’on appelle “une aiguille de protrusion”,
This week's Saturday Flashback looks back to a classic era of civil aviation.
Painted in 1999, this wonderful work by Jonathan Frank depicts some of the aircraft that frequented Houston Municipal Airport in the 1940's and 50's, as well as the Terminal Building that still stands today as a museum.
I am more than happy for those more knowledgeable about aviation than myself to correct the following. Airborne is a Trans-Texas Airways DC3, known as "Super-Starliners". Note the wheel shrouds! On the ground there is an Eastern Air Lines Lockheed Super Constellation. The third large aircraft may be a Braniff? Possibly a Lockheed Electra?
(Apologies for the distortion. It was difficult to get a straight shot, at least in part due to lights reflecting in the background)

Some more close up shots of some of the old, industrial machinery in the grounds of Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life.
I've taken snaps of the ols steam crane before on previous visits, but this time I was more interested in zooming in on elements of this venerable machinery for some close ups. I thought takin them like that, in B&W with some decent daylight on them almost made them look sculptural.

The original rotary engine were replaced with a 4-cylinder engine by VW.
This aircraft's radial piston engine was part of the static displays at the Stuart Airshow in Stuart, Florida. See this, and more, on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.

Ok, so everyone knows about Walrus tusks but this photo gives a view of its other teeth on both the upper and lower jaws. I don't recall ever seeing a photo of a wild Walrus where the teeth were visible. It is as if the dentist had just asked him to open wide. Walrus tusks are modified canine teeth that are possessed by both males and females. The rest of the teeth are variable in number, but usually they have about 18 including tusks, but as many as 38 have been recorded, which is more than humans (adult humans have 32). The teeth also erupt simultaneously and the root cones can expand in the growing jaw of a young Walrus, which means they have no need for extra "wisdom teeth" as they get larger. This mechanism of expanding root cones is apparently not known in any other mammal.
You can also see the muscular tongue, which is used for feeding. They seal their lips around bivalve molluscs such as clams, then rapidly withdraw their tongue like a piston, creating a vacuum strong enough to suck the contents out of the clam shells. The Walrus palate has a special vaulted structure to create this suction.
This wild Walrus was loafing in the shallows in north Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago. And one final thing; that "scar" that looks like a bullet hole behind the eye is actually its ear hole. And they have a very good sense of hearing.
sex.
Pistons and anemones and giggling and frustration and epileptic frenzy and The Vacuum. It is plain that the female unit and the male unit are, while functionally complimentary, stylistically at odds. They have different RPMs and different metabolisms. Boys grow up programmed that sex is about jack hammers and stud horses, James Bond, coitus as imperator in triumph.
I wont feign to understand the deeper currents of feminine sexuality, but its clear to me that it operates in a realm of textures and emotion, glide and leverage, a voluptuous blooming.
On the levels of forms, sexuality is a country dog mounting a windowsill cat. But not always...
We all have a gentle fantasy of lovemaking as a spockish melding of spirits. Theoretically it might just happen, but in a world of flat tires, overdue bills, and workplace deadlines lovemaking is more a sharing of pleasure, of relief, of a delicious distraction. There is little enough time for a real daily spirituality, let alone a blinding spiritual sexuality.
Next time you are at a theme park or a bowling alley or a DMV, look around. Notice all the different species of people. Everyone one of them has a history, a hope, a couple of real mind-blowing secrets, a bank account, a paralyzing fear, a place where they sleep, frustrations, and a sexuality. They have all French kissed. They have all learned how to drive. They have all crawled into the dark corner, pulled a baby nipple over a bottle of booze, and whimpered themselves into the null and the void. They all have...just like you.
This isn’t about some Orwellian cultural homogeneity. This is about human beings. We aren’t Ford's black cars. We are more like a library of books, shelves and shelves and shelves of stories. The difference is that some are poorly written, some have simpering plots, some are technical manuals, some are trashy romances - and some, a few really, are actually great literature.
