PS Waverley in the Solent of the Isle of Wight is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973. Bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS), she has been restored to her 1947 appearance and now operates passenger excursions around the British coast.

Since 2003 Waverley has been listed in the National Historic Fleet by National Historic Ships UK as "a vessel of pre-eminent national importance". She appeared in the 2011 film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Hartlepool is the proud location of The National Museum of the Royal Navy with HMS Trincomalee being their key exhibit. Its three masts can be seen in the background here.

Another of the significant exhibits is the William Gray and Company 1934 Hartlepool built paddle steam ferry PS Wingfield Castle. This paddle steamer along with sister ships PS Tattersall Castle and PS Lincoln Castle plied its trade back and forth across the Humber Estuary up until withdrawal in 1974. PS Wingfield Castle was briefly used as an entertainment venue before being preserved in the town of her build in Hartlepool in 1986. Periodic attention has been given to her slowly deteriorating condition and it is pleasing to note that very recently Hartlepool council has now set aside £4m to go towards a long term renovation. That work is yet to commence.

In the meantime as seen here she sits in the harbour at Hartlepool.

Eigentlich kann ich mich für Motorräder ja nicht so begeistern, aber wir hatten schlechtes Wetter und da lockte dieses Museum.

Mein Mann war Feuer und Flamme und auch für mich war es noch interessant. Witzig fand ich, dass die ersten Motorräder eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit zu den heutigen E-Bikes vorzuweisen haben. :-) :-)

OK all you creative Flickr people:

Official Annual Lanzetta PS Challenge.

I first saw this pic and thought, hmmm. this needs a dinosaur. I was going to add one, but I'm lazy.

So here it is: your challenge is to add a dinosaur to this shot. I alone vote, and the one voted best (meaning whoever I happen to like the most this week, meaning whoever leaves the most flattering comments in my stream) WINS!!

Winner receives a printed 8x12 version, the title of Most Creative PS Dude Evah, and the distinction of being cool in my book, as long as you don't live on an island outside of the U.S. Just kidding! I will include Australia.

I was about 12 inches away shooting with a 105mm macro lens just for the fun of it. This little pine siskin youngster gave me about 10 shots before he/she flew off.

Look at large...

I was recently gifted a clock from Shiraz, Iran, which incorporates some of the historic Persian craft-art work. Here's a detail.

Radials:

The craft of Khatamkari has existed for more than 700 years and is still practiced in Shiraz.

Delicate and meticulous marquetry has been produced since the Safavid period. Khatam was so popular in the court that princes learned this technique alongside music and painting. Khatam means incrustation and Khatamkari refers to incrustation work. This craft consists in the production of patterns (generally star shaped) with thin sticks of wood (ebony, teak, orange, rose), brass (for golden parts) and camel bones (white parts). Sticks are assembled in triangular beams, themselves assembled and glued in a strict order to create a cylinder 70 cm in diameter, whose cross-section is the main motif: a six-branch star included in a hexagon. These cylinders are cut into shorter cylinders, and then compressed and dried between two wooden plates, before being sliced for the last time, in 1 mm wide trenches. Now sections are ready to be glued on the object to be decorated, before lacquer finishing. The trench can also be softened through heating in order to wrap around objects. Many objects can be decorated in this fashion, such as jewelry/decorative boxes, desks, frames or some musical instruments. Khatam can also be used in Persian miniatures.

Central blue:

Minakari. The art of "Minakari" or "Enamelling" is called "miniature of fire" as well as the decoration of metal and tile. Minakari or Enamelling is the Persian art of painting, colouring and ornamenting the surface of metals by fusing over it brilliant natural colours that are decorated in an intricate design. Mina is the feminine form of Minoo in Persian, meaning heaven. Mina refers to the Azure blue colour of heaven. The Iranian craftsmen of Sasanid era invented this art.

Nightingales:

Another feature is the alternating nightingales (bolbols). These have an association with Shiraz roses.
