It looks as if this machine comes from the early industrial era. Clearly electro plating was an important process needed in the railway workshops. This photograph is designed to reflect the grunge and grime of the period.
This was the view of Chrome Hill as I had successfully descended the most treacherous bit of the Parkhouse ridge (mainly on my derriere). My Scarpa Manta boots had a coating of sticky mud on their Vibram soles, which meant staying upright on the slippy limestone quite impossible. There wasn't enough snow and ice for crampons, so I have now ordered some micro-spikes for situations like this in the future.
It was strange to see the Peak District's "Dragon Back Ridge" coated by snow and ice on the North faces, with the South sides being cleared by days of winter sun. I think the effect accentuates the shape of this wonderful reef feature. Hence the pun on "winter chrome-plating"!
It was quite an exhilarating little trek, in fact I found the Parkhouse descent quite embarrassing, having scaled many a peak in the Alps, I have never before had to slither around like a geriatric sloth on a descent from a hill. I'm just glad there were no others around to watch it!
You can see from this shot and another I will post at some point, how exposed this little ridge is. You certainly get a lot of excitement from this Hill and the view of Chrome is just great from here.
A gold plated RCA jack (phono jack). The gold plating provides corrosion resistance for a more reliable connection; its look is just an added benefit.
Thanks to Gregador for pointing out this part of Erie. This is where I landed on Street View and ended up liking it the best:

Plating up at the Madklubben dinner at Cail Bruich Restaurant in Glasgow on Monday evening. I am constantly amazed how so many people can work so well together in such a small space - Team work at its best!
Is this a vessel, a flagon or a chalice? See here: Click
Let's call it a bottle, then.
As (fun) part of a chemistry experiment, we silver-plated the inside of a small glass bottle (about 50 ml, which I had purchased at Woolworth for 75 Euro cents).
The chemical process:
In a solution of silver nitrate in water, the silver nitrate dissociates to silver ions (+) and nitrate ions (-).
Ammonia is added, which decomposes to ammonium ions and hydroxide. Silver ions and hydroxide ions combine to silver oxide and water. The silver oxide has a low solubility and precipitates.
Adding further ammonia, the precipitate is transformed into a silver diammine complex, which again dissolves in water.
Adding potassium hydroxide, then glucose reduces the ions to metallic silver, which is deposited on the interior surface of the glass bottle. In case you are worried about what happens to the glucose in the process: it turns into gluconic acid.
The glass vessel is shown before and after the interior silver plating.

Serving up the meat (there was a variety by the way) during Saturday night’s meat lovers delight at Locavore to Go in Ubud, Bali … seriously nice food with great service at a great price. All the meat is from their butchery right next door.
Upper deck plating removed temporarily- but skinned lower section on back of SHIP- added or wired up lighting- added engine core and base for skinning the rear section. Docking ports and greebles on back next- then engine cluster details before moving to the bridge.
A small pile of RCA jacks (aka phono jacks). This is the same style of jack as the one I photographed about three years ago, but now in two-piece insulators to isolate the jack from a metal chassis.
LIke I mentioned in the earlier post, the gold plating is a corrosion-resistant coating for improved performance, an important consideration for a connector originally developed in the 1930s (the part the plug mates with, not the mounting configuration).

one from last years visit to Chester zoo. I planned a series of abstract close ups; in my head I saw Giraffes, Zebras, Tigers etc, etc... but the Rhino's were the only ones willing to play ball :-)
Jerusalem of Gold – most people instantly think of the gold plating on the Dome of the Rock atop the Temple Mount, or even the golden hue of Jerusalem stone houses in the light of sunrise, while for the Israeli public it’s a song, full of yearning for the Old City conquered by the Jordanians only 19 years before the song was written.
However, the actual source of the phrase “Jerusalem of Gold” is much more ancient and it first appears in the Jerusalem Talmud (collection of Rabbinic notes from the 2nd-century and compiled in the Land of Israel during the 4th-5th century). It’s the story of one the sagest Jewish figures ever, Rabbi Akiva, who at the beginning of the narration was uneducated shepherd working for Kalba Savua, one of the wealthiest men in Jerusalem. Rachel, Kalba Savua’s daughter, fell in love with Rabbi Akiva and married him despite the opposition from her father, and as a result, Rachel’s father dispossessed her from the share in his wealth.
The impoverished young couple was forced to live in a hayloft. In the mornings, when Rabbi Akiva helped his wife collect the hay that clung to her hair, he promised her that one day he would buy her a most precious piece of jewellery, the crown called “Jerusalem of Gold”.
The story of course continues and tells how Rachel encouraged her husband to study the Torah and even sold her hair in order to pay for his studies. Rachel continued to do so faithfully for 24 years, while her husband was not ashamed to sit in class with small children and continued to study diligently and persistently until he became the greatest scholar of his time. And when he returned home as great teacher of Jewish Law (Halacha) accompanied by 12,000 pupils then Kalva Suva reconsidered banishing his daughter and bestowed half of his immense fortune upon the couple.
Rabbi Akiva well-remembered the promise he made to his beloved wife and bought her the crown of “Jerusalem of Gold”. The golden crown was so precious since it resembled golden walls of the fortified city that even the wives of the wealthiest and the highest were so jealous and complained to their husbands.
In ancient times in the period of the Second Temple brides wore a “Jerusalem of Gold” crown as part of her festive wedding day attire. And once the temple was destroyed, the Roman Caesar Titus Flavius Vespasianus imposed a series of edicts against the laws of Judaism, one of which banned brides from wearing the crown during their wedding ceremonies.
Over the time the story of the golden crown sank into oblivion, until after more than dozen centuries later the songwriter, Naomi Shemer in her “song Jerusalem of Gold” brought it back to the forefront.

This is just a compost bowl. It looks like some fancy dessert, some bougie preparation plating, but it's just an espresso puck, some strawberry guts, and radish roots.
