Normalissime scale, di un edificio per uffici.
Eppure mi ci sono come affezionato.
Sono le scale che ho visto, ogni giorno, dalla finestra della camera di Ale in via Saldini, nel periodo in cui mi sono trasferito da lui per completare la nostra tesi di laurea...
E sono sempre lì, di giorno in penombra e di sera in negativo, che giocano coi pattern della facciata.
Ieri le ho riviste e me le sono portate a casa :)

Wasdale trip photo's. Plan was to camp two nights at the Wasdale head national trust campsite. Get photo's of sunset, sunrise nad night time, from various locations in this area. Two climbers can be seen climbing one of the ridges on Great Gable. I used to have a guide book with all the names of these routes, not that I did them. The most I did was the climbers traverse scramble and then threading the needle.
Common names: saw-scaled viper,Indian saw-scaled viper, little Indian viper
Known as "Churuta" in Malayalam
Echis carinatus is a venomous viper species found in parts of the Middle East and Central Asia, and especially the Indian subcontinent. It is the smallest member of the Big Four snakes. Five subspecies are currently recognized.
Size ranges between 38 and 80 cm in length, but usually no more than 60 cm.
Head distinct from neck, snout very short and rounded. The nostril between three shields and head covered with small keeled scales, among which an enlarged supraocular is sometimes present. There are 9-14 interocular scales across the top of the head and 14-21 circumorbital scales. 1-3 rows of scales separate the eye and the supralabials. There are 10-12 supralabials, the fourth usually largest, and 10-13 sublabials
The color-pattern consists of a pale buff, grayish, reddish, olive or pale brown ground color, overlaid middorsally with a series of variably colored, but mostly whitish spots, edged with dark brown, and separated by lighter interblotch patches. A series of white bows run dorsolaterally. The top of the head has a whitish cruciform or trident pattern and there is a faint stripe running from the eye to the angle of the jaw. The belly is whitish to pinkish, uniform in color or with brown dots that are either faint or distinct.
Habitat
Found on a range of different substrates, including sand, rock, soft soil and in scrublands. Often found hiding under loose rocks. Specimens have also been found in Balochistan at altitudes of up to 1982 m
Behavior
This species is mostly crepuscular and nocturnal, although there have been reports of activity during daylight hours.During the daytime they hide in all kinds of places, such as deep mammal burrows, rock fissures and fallen rotted logs. In sandy environments, they may bury themselves leaving only the head exposed. Often, they are most active after rains or on humid nights.This species is often found climbing in bushes and shrubs, sometimes as much as 2 m above the ground. When it rains, up to 80% of the adult population will climb into bushes and trees. Once, it was observed how some 20 individuals had massed on top of a single cactus or small shrub.
Feeding
It feeds on rodents, lizards, frogs, and a variety of arthropods, such as scorpions, centipedes and large insects.[8] Diet may be varied according to availability of prey. High populations in some areas may be due to this generalist diet
Venom
This species produces on the average of about 18 mg of dry venom by weight, with a recorded maximum of 72 mg. It may inject as much as 12 mg, whereas the lethal dose for an adult is estimated to be only 5 mg.Envenomation results in local symptoms as well as severe systemic symptoms that may prove fatal. Local symptoms include swelling and pain, which appear within minutes of a bite. In very bad cases the swelling may extend up the entire affected limb within 12-24 hours and blisters form on the skin.The venom yield from individual specimens varies considerably, as does the quantity injected per bite. About 20% of all bites are fatal

I was using Sigma 70-300 Macro lens, Standing 1 feet away.
I love the scale of this shot. Just love it! I'm proud of myself here. Lucked out on the focus since I was laying where C is facing me and I put the camera above my head to get the shot. Luckily the IV was in my non-shooting hand. ;)

Thank you all for your kind words and visits. Being the mother to a 2nd child is easier in the sense that you are more familiar with what to do, how to do it, etc... but being the mom to 2 is WOW... I'm trying my hardest to make sure A doesn't feel left out or neglected. So far so good, though at bedtime tonight I was putting them both down at the same time. A seemed bothered that I had her in my arms while we read but I just tried to encourage her to help me read to her.
A few of the better photos from the birth. I didn't get any of the "money" shots I wanted but since it was just the 2 of us and it all happened so quick I can't blame D. He did a fine job. I did see the most amazing shot as I was giving birth... Crazy huh. She looked right at me when she first came out. It was amazing! A special photo I'll always hold in my mind and my heart.
Pineapple had her 2 day check up today and lost only a few pounds at 6 lbs, 11.3 oz (not bad for a bf baby). She is looking a bit jaundiced but the Doc said jaundice tends to peak at day 3 (today) but did have us do a bilirubin test. I'm now nursing around the clock. Every 1.5 hours (or 2 when I'm lucky) which means I'm either changing a wet diaper or burping her somewhere in between.
But boy the hardest part of today was getting 2 kids fed, dressed, and out the door for a 10:10 Dr. Appointment. I hate to be late and we were only late by 5 or so minutes but definitely something I don't look forward to doing again soon.
I switched the camera to ISO auto and left it in P mode for D. I'm not even sure he figured out that he could zoom with the 18-55 lens? The BW don't really "match" but at 2:30 am with a baby on my arm you'll have to pardon that.
Cliche, right? Of course it is! But yes, my goal is to weigh 140 again.
And no, this is not my current weight. First off, I had the camera on me. Plus, I may or may not have tweaked the scale a little bit to skew the numbers. I am no where near as brave as Sarah Judith.
This is a 1:100 scale model of a Commercial Space Station, which we were commissioned to build in 2019. The model features a variety of customized modules, stowage facilities, an airlock, an observatory, a robotic arm and a main solar array. The model is accompanied with replicas of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 supply ships. Later we are going to add to this set a replica of the SpaceX Dragon 2 as well. The model also includes several posed astronaut figurines, designed and customized for us by Mr. Max Grueter.
The model was designed in 3D software, produced by rapid prototyping and manually assembled, painted and decorated.
In this model we implemented the features and technics developed for our models of ISS, which we were building and perfecting since 2008. The model has reliable internal reinforcement system, holding the modules together. Most vulnerable elements are produced from durable materials – metal and nylon. Selected components and supply ships’ replicas have embedded magnets, allowing to reconfigure the station and exercise various docking schemes. The model is mounted with support poles on a black painted base.
The model is designed to be partially disassembled during transport. It is packed in a Pelican heavy duty transit case and can be fast and easily assembled for presentation.
Inverted scales to gauge the level of water in the tanks. The fire fighting tank and mechanical system are essential in the running of a big complex. A snap with the M3 and the Nokton Classin 40/1.4 MC, Fujifilm Reala 100 is good for reds.

Two guys from facebook had an interesting talk about how they scale their platform to several hundred million users.
This railroad scale house, in West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area east of the Paducah site, was used in the 1950s to weigh Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant freight. Workers preserved the old scale because of its potential historical significance. The scale house was demolished.
MTH SF passenger cars and remodeled USAGP-38 at the downtown crossing of our Garden Railroad. The engine is a 5yr old that started out as a SF and I took it clear down, stripped the scarred paint job with brake fluid, cleaned well and repainted. I had a local screen printer CAD-CUT the lettering of vinyl. I also added Super Bright LED's and an engine glow light (194-NA Automotive bulb). I let my wife Clara pick the color and she chose Brown/Gold because you normally don't see those colors on locomotives and we like to be different!
The camo on this was really bad on this.Serves me right for not ordering enough parts.It costed me a big hole in my wallet!
A few months ago I got a chance to visit my friend Jeff Rutzky and see (and photograph) some of the projects he was working on for his new book Shadowfolds, that teaches how to create intricate geometric designs with fabric. The pieces are really beautiful and surprisingly easy to make.
I uploaded this image of the rock I posted earlier today to show the scale of it and where it is located. My "fine art landscape version" is the previous shot in my stream. This is taken ifn the afternoon light, while the other is taken in twilight.

When I was a teenager, my teachers believed that by now, the United States would be using the metric system for everything. It seems we converted partly, but stalled. Now we have an interesting blend of two systems!
Fortunately, I did study French...
This is a scratch-built model of my grandfather's Vespa Garage in Wing Hing Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong 1950s. I only used very limited photos as the reference to create this model.
This is one of my most unique model I have ever created because it is based on my family's history. I try to bring back the past which i never experience through making this model. It is a very meaningful project.
This model is the Winner of scratch-built category in the Australian Model Expo 2012.

Photo-story response to a photostory challenge prompt: create or assemble a group of action figure characters who will be marooned on an uncharted island in the style of the 1960s television program "Gilligan's Island."
Using the 1/35 Scale Tristar Panzer 1 Ausf A kit (with full interior) as a starting point, I constructed this diorama depicting a panzer crew knocked out by a land mine on its retreat from El Alemein North Africa. The Tristar kit went together mostly well with only one small hull fit problem at the rear engine hatch. The photo etch included in the kit was a nice addition. Also, tracks by Friulmodel added weight and realism.
For the finish, I used a layering technique of a base coat of flat black enamel, then a coat of rust colored oil paints, a coat of hairspray to seal the oils, then to finish sprayed Tamiya Acrylic Desert Yellow. I used acrylic thinner and a rough brush to scrub away the top layer to reveal a rusty, weathered panzer at the end of its lifespan. The Panzer 1 was well outdated by the time of The Battle of El Alemein, so it seems fitting that the story would ironically depict the end of that model.
For the rest of the dio, I used real dirt and real rocks on top of a styro base. A colleague recommended to "bake" the dirt to kill any live organisms. Believe me, the dirt I had leftover in a plastic baggy grew grass inside!
The figures are from the Tristar German Tropical Panzer Crew. They are well sculpted (by designer Yoshitaka Hirano) with a nice color paint guide and accessories.
