Able Seaman Arthur Thomas Wood was born 21 April 1921 at Berry in New South Wales, and joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1938 at the age of 17. After training at HMAS CEREBUS he joined HMAS SYDNEY in early 1939. When World War II was declared, SYDNEY was ordered to serve in the Mediterranean for escort duty. Wood was aboard SYDNEY when it sank the Italian cruisers ESPERO and BARTOLOMEO COLLEONI in July 1940.
These photographs and postcards depict some of the sailors, equipment and activities of HMAS SYDNEY in the months prior to the sinking of the vessel. They provide an interesting commentary of the operations and work carried out aboard HMAS SYDNEY prior to its fateful end, such as the sinking of Italian ships ESPERO and BARTOLOMEO COLLEONI in the Mediterranean.

With clear skies all day, I was expecting perfect sky tonight for some astro-photography. Then late afternoon this:
"A lightning-caused fire is burning approximately 100 to 200 acres this morning about half a mile from Poudre Park, according to the Forest Service.
The Seaman Fire currently is threatening structures, but no evacuation notices have been issued.
Firefighters and air support are working to put out the fire, but the conditions are working against them. Due to the high temperatures, today is a “red flag warning” day, meaning fire dangers are very high, according to a tweet from the Forest Service."

The artist, Jay Seaman, makes large metal sculptures. The ones that you see here are at the Salmon Gallery in Trumansburg, NY. He has more of them in his front yard on Taughannock Rd near the State, Park.

This car competed in the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1973. It's the 1937 ERA R12B of Bill Morris which has a supercharged 6-cylinder inline1,488cc engine and was driven in the race by Tony Stephens. Bill Morris owned two ERAs, R12B and R12C and the two cars have a strange history, R12B being a works car that was originally built in 1936 with a 2 litre engine as a B-type car, but in 1937 it was rebuilt to C-type specifications, thus becoming R12C, and given a 1½ litre engine. In 1938 it was sold to Prince Chula to become one of his White Mouse stable's trio of ERAs driven by Prince Bira, where it was given the name 'Hanuman'. In 1939 the car was badly damaged in a crash during practice at Reims and was rebuilt with a B-type frame, reverting to being R12B and the name changing to 'Hanuman II'. After passing through various hands after the Second World War it came to Bill Morris. Bill Morris had managed to acquire the rest of the wreckage left over from the 1939 crash and using the damaged chassis frame rebuilt the car to its 1939 C-type specifications by 1982. That car was now R12C, as if the 1939 accident had never happened, and was given the original car's name of 'Hanuman'.
Botryoidal specimen of cryptomelane on goethite from Ironwood, Gogebic County, Michigan, USA, on display at the AE Seaman Mineral Museum, Michigan Technological University, Houghton.
Cryptomelane is a near-surface manganese mineral formed during the weathering of manganese-bearing iron oxide-rich rocks. This grey beauty is actually two minerals. The bubbly grey stuff is cryptomelane which is composed of 1 potassium + 8 manganese + 16 oxygen molecules. Goethite is the rusty brown underlying plate of iron oxide.
"Supergene" or "alteration" or "secondary" minerals are the fun stuff, because they form unusual or colorful or beautiful specimens. The word "supergene" is used to describe conditions of low-pressure and low-temperature during "weathering". The Low-P (pressure) and low-T (temperature) supergene minerals form in near-surface conditions versus High-P and High-T minerals formed deeper in the Earth's crust. Alteration by element-rich near-surface water will form new hydrated (supergene) minerals. Such mineral-forming alteration is time-, place- and element-specific. And instead of being eroded, carried away and recycled, some altered rock formations may be subsequently buried and preserved if in a sedimentary environment.
= Primary Rock-Forming Minerals versus Secondary Minerals =
The rocks in the Earth's crust consist of 12+ primary minerals.
The remainder of ongoing identification of 6000+ minerals (MINDAT website) are all of the other elements in the periodic table kept busy throughout time combining and recombining with primary rock-forming minerals.
The 12+ primary rock-forming minerals form the floating granite-dominated continents comprising 30% of Earth's surface, whereas the basalt-dominated ocean bottom crust is the hidden 70%. Perhaps 500+ minerals have some abundance on Earth out of 6000+ known minerals. Which means most minerals are extremely rare, usually tiny in size and mostly seen by microscope or identified/characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
So a hand-sized supergene mineral specimen is very cool !!

See Large size. The Robert C. Seamans as seen from the St. Francis Yacht Cub as it entered San Francisco Bay for the annual Parade of Sails on Wednesday July 23 at noon. This ship is a state of the art 134 foot steel brigantine. and one of the most sophisticated oceanographic research and sailing vessel ever built in the United States complete with hydrographic winches, bathymetric equipment, biological and geological sampling equipment, wet/dry laboratory and a computer laboratory.

Young seaman working on a Norwegian merchant ship along the Norwegian coast on its way to Murmansk during WWII. 1943.

My first real outdoor shooting. I used a Canon 5D II and two Canon flashes (580 EX as master, 420 EX as slave). Works pretty well.
For me a complete new experience. I do use a lot of flashes in the studio - two is minimalistic for me ;-)

If any of my Flickr contacts are interested in a tour around this building for photographs then drop me an Flickrmail. If I get enough interest then it can be arranged with the owner for a fee.
I was fortunate enough to find out virtually last minute that this fantastic building and the grounds were open to the public for the heritage weekend of 13/14/15 September 2013. The first floor had unrestricted access but due to Health and safety restrictions unfortunately the other floors were off limits. However the whole building will be made available on any subsequent visits.
