A beached Oil rig on the beach of the absolutely devastated Dauphin Island off the coast of Alabama.
See the radar image upstream in my photos for the fury that this area experienced during the hurricane.

Today good news was announced for the US in terms of supplying [more of its own energy needs](thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/296953-feds-nd-oil-gas-...) .......... Specifically the amount of oil and shale gas in the main reserves found in North Dakota was today declared to be twice as big as previously thought ............ and it was already thought to be massive........ it has entirely transformed North Dakota and its finances.......... I was up there yesterday taking a little peek at the oil business close to Dickinson North Dakota........... This crazily spectacular sky above lasted for about 30 seconds as I was shooting this nodding donkey oil rig against the setting sun........ these rigs just go night and day on their own ........ mostly no one attends to them.
After I shot this I popped back into town for a celebratory visit to Taco Bell.......... :-)))
But then I was still up and about so I decided to roll to South Dakota specifically to Rapid City SD .......... Matt had already told me this would not be a sensible move in the dark .......... he is back in Atlanta but he was right of course........... 250 odd miles through total nothing......... the so called 'Bad Lands' ....... virtually no towns or settlements........ no gas stations no big roads.......... really nothing......
Anyway I filled the car full of gas and a spare tank too......... checked the tires........ checked the coffee and tick-tac situation......... then rolled........ it was 10PM .......... should be sort of close to Rapid City by around 3AM.........
The road was amazing......... total blackness........ only the road and absolute blackness either side ..........
I drove and drove and saw no sign of other people ...... no lights or buildings......... for maybe 50 or 100 miles at a time............ the whole journey I only saw one other car driving ........ driving the other way down the road towards me............. it was surreal............
At one point I was listening on the sat radio to the BBC World Service.......... they had a program about the surface of Mars......... I started to hallucinate that the incredible 'Tolkein-esk' landscapes they were describing were extending out from the road in the blackness either side of the road......... it was so pitch dark ........ anything could have been happening.......... the surface of Mars with evil aliens too..... maybe? ......... after all it is the 'Bad Lands' .......
I finally came to a little town about 50 miles from Rapid City.......... with a gas station that had 24 hour pumps........ no one actually there............ but I was glad to finally get gas ......... I was running low on the main tank........ and I was really glad to see signs of other people once more.............

This is the rig I use with my LX3. It's a Brooxes BDKK to wich I added a shutter servo (see detailed view here). It's AURICO controlled and powered by a 3.7V 300mAh Lipo. Total weight (rig + camera) is 588g.
It's almost finished - just needs painting. The inspiration for this rig was Cris Benton's "EOS M Cradle" - see here.
Total weight of rig, including unshown items - radio, battery, gentled and picavet - is just over 200 grams.
Homemade rig constructed by my dad and myself.
The total cost of all the parts was about $25.
The arm was the hardest part to make, something that 99% of people will not be able to do on their own. Pure aluminum and machined in a metal shop. It was hard, but saved a lot of money. Took roughly 2 hours to build the whole thing. There are companies that sell arms like this, but can cost upwards of $100.
Its very sturdy with the 4 suction cups. If I didn't think it could hold my camera I would never put it on there. Usually, the suction cups are closer to the edge of the car to reduce shake/vibration. It's much easier to get good shots with 2 people, 1 pushing the car and the other releasing the shutter. But 1 person is just as easy.
I got a lot of my information here www.rigshots.com.au/

Obviously, we cut it in half to increase the stability of the rig :)

A big red rig pulls through the stop sign at Beltline and Old Richburg Road in an industrial area of Chester, South Carolina.
I first saw this in Popular Mechanics (I'm not sure which issue)
and I built one. I have yet to get a decent kite for her. I believe that David Hunt designed this. The entire instructions can be found here: kaper.us/basics/CheapKap_layout.pdf She weighs 4.7 ounces without the picavet.
The Chess Pieces
As one of the charms protecting the Philosopher's Stone, these wizard chessman were one of director Chris Columbus' favourite elements and were featured in an iconic scene in the first film. The statues seen here are the original sculptures many of which were rigged by the special effects team to move by radio control and even explode.
People the world-over have been enchanted by the Harry Potter films for nearly a decade. The wonderful special effects and amazing creatures have made this iconic series beloved to both young and old - and now, for the first time, the doors are going to be opened for everyone at the studio where it first began. You'll have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and see many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides a unique showcase of the extraordinary British artistry, technology and talent that went into making the most successful film series of all time. Secrets will be revealed.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter films - the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.
- Explore Dumbledore’s office and discover never-before-seen treasures.
- Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivanders wand shop, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium.
- See iconic props from the films, including Harry’s Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid’s motorcycle.
- Learn how creatures were brought to life with green screen effects, animatronics and life-sized models.
- Rediscover other memorable sets from the film series, including the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s hut, Potion’s classroom and Professor Umbridge’s office at the Ministry of Magic.
Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.
The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
One of several rigs at anchor in the mouth of the Cromarty firth. A sign of inactivity in the oil industry as apart from refurbishment work the firth is usually empty

Bildbeschreibung nach Peter Bork:
Flüchtlinge in der Nähe des Bahnhofs von Riga,
im Hintergrund hinter dem Bahndamm sieht man zwei (der fünf)
großen Markthallen des Rigaer Zentralmarktes.
Auf den Wegweisern ist zu lesen:
(hinten) Dünaburg 233 km, Madona 140 km,
der Wegweiser im Vordergrund rechts zeigt nach Tilsit und Mitau, Foto Oktober 1944
Die Geschichte der großen Markthallen ist kurzgefasst
wie folgt:
Es gab in Wainoden (Kurland) einen Luftschiffhafen mit zwei Hangars. Nach dem Ende des 1. Weltkriegs (1924) wurden diese abgebaut und nach Riga gebracht. Lediglich die Oberteile dieser beiden Hangars wurden bei der Errichtung des Zentralmarkts (1924 - 1930) mitverwendet. Es entstanden insgesamt fünf Markthallen, vier nebeneinander und eine fünfte, die quer neben der Vierergruppe steht. Bei GoogleEarth kann man das gut erkennen.
The Jack Bates Drilling Rig moored beside Cromarty Links. She being supplied by the MV Rosehaugh, which was the Kessock Ferry between Inverness and the Black Isle until replaced by the Kessock Bridge in 1984. After serving as a Ferry at Corran in Lochaber, she is now a rig supply vessel in the Cromarty Firth.
Since 2005 the Jack Bates has been working in the Bass Straight between Tasmania and Australia.
