When it's not escorting helium cars this usaf hopper can be spotted moving loads of sand or ballast on the USAF's property on Cape Canaveral. This load of sand was dredged from the various waterways of the facility allowed to dry and then transported to individual launch complexes for use in/on the complex's blast house.
Just my shot at creating an imaginary scenario as a description
In reality sand was dredged but the dredged sand was used to create the land that the titan 3's launch complex sits on
Yipee! My flickr friend nebulon9 has sent a replacement pair of scales for my Swiss Army Knife all the way from Sacramento in California. That's the power of flickr :-)
If you get a chance to visit Hoover Dam, make sure you check this Bronze Sculpture of High Scaler who built this dam. I have done quite a bit of rock climbing years ago and after seeing what kind of harness these guys used, makes me wonder the kind of working condition they were in. I can't imagine hanging in one these primitive support system in hours at scorching dessert heat. These folks were tough like a nail, no doubt!

when I think of something big, I always think of the ocean so when we had to find something very big to compare to something small, I knew what I wanted to do. Also, when you think of something small you think of children. I think the little girl looks really small compared to the never ending ocean and she stands out from the blue background dressed in red. I think that if I could capture more of the sea in a panorama, she would have looked even smaller but I didn't want to include the islands in the background because I thought they were distracting.
The Scales dates back to the 1700's and was once a coaching inn for the city.In 1740 it was the first Freemasons lodge and they met here until 1813.Known as the Swan and Scales in the 19th century it was used as weighing rooms for horse races that was held in Lichfield.On 16th December 1993 it was proposed that the Scales would change its name to R.H Fletcher but due to public pressure the brewery had a change of heart and kept the name The Scales.
All our staff are trained to the highest level and will be happy to serve you with any of our cask ales, lagers from around the world or hot and cold drinks. The Scales is the only bar in Lichfield to be open till 4am every weekend and the best entertainment bar in the city.​

Title: Scales, balance
Description: Balance and weights set. This set belonged to Edouard Cafler. The set is contained in a wooden box with rounded corners. The box has two metal hook latches at the front of the box. The interior of the box contains the balance set, which consists of a metal balance beam with a dial at the centre, and a suspension ring at the top. Attached with green cord to either end of the balance are two brass dishes. There are compartments in the base of the box which contains the balance, and also a set of 14 brass weights ranging from 1 gram to 200 grams. There are complementary compartments in the top of the box to hold the weights in place. Handwritten on the underside of the lid of the box is a list of conversions from grammes to pounds and ounces.

The Blue Prince is a Volks Dollfie Plus. He is 28 cm/12 inches tall with silver hair. He has a Volks Custom Hair Head 03 on a Volks NEO EB-Body (Go). I painted his face using acrylic paints and I sealed the paint job with a matte varnish.
The main reason why I dubbed him "The Blue Prince" is because he wears a blue prince outfit that was originally made for Ken’s friend Dominick and was sold by Mattel as part of its "The Princess and the Pauper" line.

Walking throught the market I spotted these rather nice retro scales for sale. Thought they would be good for the challenge.
But a little later on I passed the fish stall, and seeing as I like to give you guys a choice..................
