For all its size, this model is considered microscale.
or in this case, the tiny bump of paint.
I went west this weekend, hoping to get in on the hawk migration that's been going on that I've been missing because it's just been too cold and wet with the non-stop rain for the entire month of September for me to want to go sit on a mountain. Disappointingly I seem to have missed it, or maybe the day just wasn't good for it. A few distant birds soared through the sky, but they were mostly vultures. The guys manning the hawk-watch at the old inn at Rockfish Gap were having a slow time of it.
Meanwhile, I was getting distracted by the veritable cornucopia of bugs crawling around on the building we were hanging out next to, many of which I hadn't seen before. This was one of the prizes - such a weird thing! And so tiny! Just a little speck! I wasn't sure what it was, but the 4-section antennae made me think a Heteroptera of some sort. Until I got to look at all the photos on the computer here.
Those legs looked familiar, and something about the eye area. Then there was the shape of the butt-end... So I Googled "humpbacked springtail" and BAM! There it was.

The men toss a 56lb (holy smokes!) weight. They get three attempts to go over the bar. The bar also gets moved up in incriminates.

"Close ups"
1 - Something old
This ancient set of scales lives at work next to one of the wall paper printing machines - it's used to weigh a sample of paper to calculate how much vinyl is being applied when the guys are setting up a printing run.
Technique - my usual lens, with all the zoom. Closest focusing distance. Hip braced against it's little bench to avoid motion blur. SOOC

Will scan decent copies of some of these for myself in due course...

Global firm Gensler has proposed an alternative skyscraper concept for the waterfront site in Chicago where a spiralling, supertall condominium tower by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was slated to rise. The new supertall skyscraper will be called Gateway Tower. The building will house a mixed-use program, with condos, rental apartments, two hotels and tourist attractions.
The designers at the architectural firm Gensler have imagined the high-profile waterfront location as an iconic, mixed-use, mega-tall attraction. Retaining the same 2,000-foot height as the original Spire design, the Gensler concept trades the twisting whimsicality of Calatrava’s narwhal tusk for more of a Chicago-style aesthetic expressed through structural X-bracing.
The aim of the design was not just to pen a very tall tower, but to explore the untapped mixed-use possibilities of the prominent site. The solution was to create an anti-tower, one that was not designed purely as an object to look at but rather one that is engaging at different scales to the entire city, one that would welcome newcomers as it simultaneously embraces locals.
Yesterday I went to see the heksenwaag (= a weigthing scale for people that are said to be a witch). This waag was being used from the 1400's till the 1800's. If people who were being weight were to skinny it meant that they were a witch. In total almost 500.000 people were killed, because people thought they might be a witch...
