Without me, they would know no fear. Without fear, they would know no joy.

 

They would run ... forever.

I'm not certain what a Death of Robots would look like, but I think it would probably be a holdover from the imagery known to human programmers. My (conscious) influences here are Stanislaw Lem, historical depictions of Death, and of course Terry Pratchett. If you haven't read it, you should run, not walk to the Kindle store and get the Death trilogy: Mort, Reaper Man, and Soul Music.

 

I don't know yet if I can make a series or story of this, but since I started with a birth, here's a death -- anything else I build in between can only be a bonus.

Fix You

  

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

 

When the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

If you never try, then you'll never know

Just what you're worth

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I...

 

Tears stream down your face

I promise you that I'll learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I...

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

2024 the days of DB class 101 on Austrian Schoberpass are over (good). The EC216 "Dachstein" has now a Taurus on front and rear end. Here we see 1116 184 with the train, passing Baerndof. On the rear end is 1016 044.

 

This two-storeyed former hotel was constructed in 1885 for Brisbane publican Daniel Costigan. It replaced a previous, less substantial structure on the site, which had functioned as the Plough Inn since 1864. The new building was erected during South Brisbane's heyday and was part of the 1880s boom-time reconstruction of Stanley Street premises.

 

The building was designed by architect Alexander B. Wilson, who is more known for his domestic work. It was built by contractor Abraham James, whose tender of £3,300 was accepted in March 1885.

 

The hotel, prominently located in central Stanley Street, serviced the commercial heart of South Brisbane. Its proximity to the South Brisbane wharves ensured its popularity amongst those engaged in shipping interests.

 

Initially the L-shaped interior comprised on the ground floor: a central hall, staircase, dining room, two private rooms (probably for dining also), bar, parlour, storage spaces, billiard room, and lavatories; the first floor contained fourteen guest rooms and a bathroom. A verandah along the back of the building connected it to a detached single-storey kitchen. A cellar completed the facilities.

 

The building has been altered a number of times since its initial construction. In 1922, additions were made by contractors Robertson and Corbette, following the designs of GHM Addison and Son. It is thought that the street awning was added at this time.

 

In 1987 the building was modified to function as a tavern during Expo '88. Most of the internal walls were removed, the central fireplace and chimney were taken out, and the interior was re-fitted. Also the front verandah was widened, the rear verandah extended, and windows and doors replaced at this time.

 

In 1991 - 1992 a conservation plan for the Plough Inn was prepared by Bruce Buchanan architects, and the interior was fully refurbished. The front verandah was also reconstructed.

When I was growing up in the Eighties the supercar of choice was the LP500 Countach, complete with massive wing, vents & skirts. This 1974 car is a different proposition - aggressive purely of form, details paired back to almost obsessively minimalistic.

 

This Verde Medio Countach is the fifth ever. It was commissioned and owned by Francesco Innocenti, the at-the-time heir to the Italian scooter and motor car empire. It says something that he was all of 22 years old when he purchased this car to replace a specially commissioned Miura SV. How the other half live...

 

These early Countach were often nicknamed Persicopa for the roof - indented periscope channel that was intended to offer some level of rear visibility, similar to the sports - prototypes of the era such as the Porsche 917. Apparently it didn't, so the feature didn't find it's way into later cars...

A very rare shot! This was the first visit of a BEA One-Eleven to Manchester, seen in the 'old' BEA livery.

Despite the livery having been replaced over 5 years ago, Air Canada's old Evergreen livery still lives on and whilst in certain conditions does look particularly dated and even weathered poorly, in most cases such as good lighting and well-maintained still looks sleek and elegant... The winter light certainly proves the old colours still looks superb and dare I say better than the new livery.

For the W22 scheduler, Air Canada are certainly busy at London Heathrow; the carrier is operating 8 daily flights from their usual hubs across Canada, as well as a fifth-freedom flight to and from Mumbai. 5 out of the 8 daily flights are in the hands of the large Boeing 787-9 fleet, whilst the remaining 3 flights are provided by one Airbus A330-300, Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Boeing 777-300ER each.

At present, Air Canada is in the process of finalising their upcoming S23 schedule where capacity and frequency are expected to increase, expect a update in the future...

Currently, Air Canada operates 37 Boeing 787s, which includes 8 Boeing 787-8s and 29 Boeing 787-9s. Air Canada have 2 Boeing 787-9s on-order.

Les Halles was Paris's central fresh food market. It was demolished in 1971 and replaced by the Forum des Halles, a modern shopping mall built largely underground and directly connected to the massive RER and métro transit hub of Châtelet-Les-Halles. The shopping mall welcomes 150,000 visitors daily. A major reconstruction of the mall was undertaken in 2010, and the new version of the Forum des Halles was inaugurated in 2018. The 2.5 hectare Canopée was opened on 5 April 2016. In 2017, the Forum des Halles was the second most visited shopping mall in the Paris region with 42 million visitors. [from Wikipedia]

Thanks to Booksin for the idea of shooting the TV. I was surprised.

Built in 1929 replacing an earlier lighthouse (station established 1879). Active; displaying two white flashes every 30s. The round concrete tower with lantern and gallery is 102 feet tall. The tower is painted white, lantern red. A modern 2-story keeper's house is occupied by a resident attendant. This light station, Iceland's oldest, is the landfall light for Keflavík and Reykjavík. The original lighthouse stood only eight years before being destroyed by an earthquake in 1887. Traditional in appearance, the current tower is probably Iceland's best known and most visited lighthouse. The area around the lighthouse is thermally active, and plumes of steam can often be seen in photos of the lighthouse. Located atop a hill (an inactive volcanic cone) near the southwestern point of the Reykjanes peninsula, about 10 miles west of Grindavík and 13 miles southwest of Keflavík.

 

There was a major volcanic eruption with flowing lava in this area in July 2023.

This is a blue moon, according to the original Maine Farmer's Almanac rule, which has since mistakenly been replaced by the "second full moon in a month" definition. The original definition of a blue moon was the 3rd full moon in a season having 4 full moons. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th full moons retain their original names: the early Fall moon, mid Fall moon and late Fall moon. The third is called the blue moon. Pretty weird, but if you don't believe me here's a link to the story...
