A little round metal thing at Sharpness, Gloucestershire. No certain what this was used for. It does have windows so maybe someone inside guided ships and boats entering Sharpness Canal.

Just taking a break from work on a Saturday ... Had these pins lying around in my desk... spread them out and started clicking .....
This is an early Sharp 8 transistor, AM/SW set. I really like the badge in the middle of the speaker grill borrowing heavily from the Cadillac medalion. As automotive motifs were popular during the 1950's this was most likely a tribute to the V8 engine......of course it also represented the transistor count......
The placement and contour of the volume and tuning knobs create a nice symmetry. Althought the cabinet is a drab, military grey the radio still manages to look "sharp".
The Sharp logo is present on the bottom left, it's just hard to see as it blends into the chrome grille.
Sharp made this radio for the Golden Shield company as well. It can be found as a model 7040 without the 'V8' badge in the middle of the speaker grille. Also found as a Golden Shield model 7000 with a different shortwave band.
This is Bill. I met him in Birmingham, Alabama, and he was nice enough to let me take a quick portrait. Single exposure HDR using Photomix.
If I had my life to live over I'd like to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual trouble, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds, I would pick more daisies.

This lovely Sharp television is from about 1994. It survived the Great Hanshin Earthquake of '95, with a little bit of battle-damage. But it is now time to put it to pasture.

This creation was born out of one of the only times anyone has asked me to build something out of Lego. About 3 years ago my pastor asked me to create something original out of Lego that communicated the idea of eternity. I was in the middle of a large town layout project at the time, but I didn't forget his request. Just 2 months before Brickcon 2015 I was finally ready to take my town layout apart that I had spent 2 years perfecting, and with the help of my brother-in-law, disassembled it and sorted all the brick. I powered through the process, and built the whole thing in just under 2 months – the fastest I've ever built a large-scale creation like this. I was surprised, but the speed actually helped make the build better. I didn't have time to slow down and second guess myself or try something different, I just moved forward.
Description:
The man on the bridge has just died. On the earth stand all of his friends and family, all the people who loved him and cared about him during his life. They are watching him cross over to the other side. On the pillar of heaven stands a single figure, an angel, taking human form, waiting to greet him. Inside the guard outpost are supplies for the journey ahead.
The colors on the Foundation of Earth are meant to represent the layers of earth, starting with rock at the base, then stone, then clay, dirt, and grass at the top. The Foundation of Heaven begins with a crystalline structure, denoting design and order (it's actually modeled after the mythical city Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings) followed by a diamond layer above. The blue is a nod to the idea that heaven is in the clouds. Heaven has grass and flowers and trees because I liked the idea that God is drawing us towards something new yet familiar, and we won't be 'freaked out' when we die.
After the arrival and greeting, the path rises sharply after the outpost – this is to symbolize that while there is no pain or suffering in heaven, there is growth and new challenges. The flecks of dark red in the brown dirt atop the heaven pillar come from the description of the red stones found in heaven in Revelation chapter 21. It's the same with bits of gold found on the path (a reference to the 'streets of gold' (Revelation 21:21).
I made the man in his early 40's because I think it's an interesting idea that we can die at any time from something unexpected like heart disease or a car accident – and we have the opportunity now to allow ourselves to ponder what the afterlife will be like.
The angel and the man will walk the path together on their way to the holy city, the angel as the guide, while they talk and the man has a chance to ask questions and get some answers. The path goes on. The journey continues after death.

Last day if the GBBC, I went for a walk Monday morning at Creekside Nature Trail (Menno Haven) in Chambersburg, PA. This Sharp-shinned Hawk was sitting along the trail directly in front of me, can't believe I didn't scare him. I continued to move slowly towards him to get good pics. I think I got at least 20 feet away. - Franklin County - 17 FEB 20
A common Sharp radio from the late 1950's. I say common because this radio can be found under many makes and model numbers, all with cosmetic variations (but basically the same chassis inside).
Below are a couple of examples...........
Click on the Sharp/Sanyo set to see all the variations in this photostream.
I really like the reverse painted dial on this set and the lavender cabinet is seldom seen.
I hiked up the trail to the top of Observatory Hill (Saanich, B.C.) this morning to find a Northern Goshawk that was reported to be in the area. It was very peaceful on the hill the morning as the road is closed Sunday and if you want to go to the top one has to hike the steep but short trail or walk the road. I chose the trail. I spent about 2 hours on the hill. This Sharpie landed right in front of me on a dead snag. We looked at each other, I got the shot, the bird cooperated then flew off in search of morning prey.
