Found at the Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona, Pa. This streamlined locomotive, designed for bi-directional operation was mainly used for passenger trains, but a few were re-geared for freight service. The GG1 survived longer than any other locomotive design, lasting from 1934 to well into the 1980s. The 79.5 foot long 230+ ton GG1 was built on an articulated frame which permitted its 2-C+C-2 wheel arrangement to negotiate tight curves even in congested areas. Power was picked up from an overhead 11,000 Volt AC catenary wire by a pantograph and the voltage stepped-down through an on board transformer to feed the 12 single phase 25 cycle traction motors. Each of these motors developed 385 HP giving the GG1 a total of 4620 HP in continuous operation and allowed speeds up to 100 mph. The body of the locomotive also housed large blowers for motor and transformer cooling, a steam boiler for passenger car heat, electric controllers and sanding boxes.
The hood ornament on a '40 Chevrolet has the Art Deco look of a streamlined locomotive of the same era.
The streamlined dream like clinker built oak of The Skidbladner calls out to those that can pack their sea chest as a seat from which to person the oars on an imaginary journey and hopefully the visitors will have notions of goods in their sea chest to trade and room there also to bring back their hard won treasures? This now land bound longboat affords a great prospect to experience Viking visions. The replica of the archaeological recovered Gokstad ship now sits next to a reproduction longhouse and both have room enough to house your imagination and also to inspire your dreams.

Back in 2019, the RCP heads west through the woods on the Paynesville Sub on a crisp autumn morning. I wasn't a fan of this photo back then, when I didn't know what I was doing shooting with a DSLR, but now it's grown on me. I don't know who that woman is next to the train, or how she even got to that spot, odd.
"The streamlined Goosander is a handsome bird and a great fisher - its long, serrated bill helps it to catch and hold its slippery fish prey...It nests in riverbank trees, but can be seen on lakes and reservoirs in winter...
"The Goosander is a medium-sized duck and a member of a group called the 'sawbills' because of their long, narrow bills with saw-like 'teeth' which are good for gripping fish... A long, streamlined bird, it is perfectly shaped for swimming after fish...Goosanders are gregarious birds, forming flocks of thousands in some parts of Europe..."
"Male Goosanders are white, with dark green heads, black backs and long, red, hooked bills...The white sides and breast sometimes have a pink glow...Females are grey, with a gingery or reddish-brown head and a white throat..."

A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests.

In another existence, just outside our own, is the forgotten city of Dingir. Its streamlined Art Deco architecture was once filled with bright colors and rich materials, meant to reflect the beginning of a new age of consciousness. Now muted and neglected, it lies somewhere between our dreams and reality.
Dingir served as a crossroads between the human-bound Dreamers and the entities that would become humans. These creatures were known as “Those Who See and Observe”.
They entered Dreamers’ subconscious and helped guide them along on their path. However, there were some Dreamers that became too strong and aware, which gave them the ability to reach through the barrier between worlds, causing chaos and irreparable damage to Dingir, and places like it.

Northern gannets fold their wings all the way back until the tips touch when they are diving for fish. This was at St. Vincent's Beach, Newfoundland and Labrador where the northern gannets were diving for a small fish known as caplin (cA-plin, long A sound). They are so incredibly fast that I took many photos of splashes before I got this shot!
Australia Southern Railroad (ASR) units CLP17/CLP8 head an Adelaide to Perth intermodal 'hook and pull' working for TOLL Logistics, through Port Germein, South Australia, on 25 November 1998.
The locos carried the passenger livery of the former government owned business, Australian National, which ASR parent Genesee & Wyoming Inc had purchased a year earlier.
Built by Clyde Engineering for the Commonwealth Railways, CLP17 originally entered service in 1971 as CL8. Some time after ownership passed to Australian National, in 1993 it was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen Australia and emerged in this dedicated livery for use on AN's interstate passenger services. With privatisation of AN in 1997 the passenger contract was lost. CLP17 continues in service today In G & W orange and black, while CLP8 is stored.

Burlington Northern F7A 732 wears white flags for a somber occasion: the last run of a streamlined EMD "F-unit" locomotive on the railroad's Pacific Division. What began on predecessor Northern Pacific in 1941 is ending on July 29, 1979, as train #675, the Balmer-Centralia local, enters Auburn, Washington, where the train will pause as the 732 is removed and sent to the roundhouse for storage. The diesel shop at Auburn was built by for the first streamlined FT's, and since its opening the majority of locomotives assigned there for servicing have been the streamlined "F-units." To me, this photo sums up the BN of my teenage years: F-units and GP9's and lush green farm fields. Today, there's a triple-track CTC mainline here, the locomotives are far, far nevwer than the relics in this photograph, and mostof the land you see in this photo has been developed with warehouses.
The modern looking streamlined Peugeot 402 series was presented at the 1935 Paris Motor Show. In the early 1930s revolutionary aerodynamic theories were applied for the first time to mass produced cars. Avant-garde cars like 1934 Tatra 77 and the 1934 Chrysler Airflow gained a lot of positive attention. The 402 was Peugeot's answer to its direct competitor the streamlined 1934 Citroën TA.
The 402 was developed by the Département Études Carrosseries, under supervision of Henri Thomas.
The Peugeot 02-series was also called Fuseau-Sochaux.
The 402 series replaced the predecessors 401 and 601 (from 1934-1935).
Many body variants were available.

Besides several Art Deco details, the headlamps placed behind the grille were very remarkable.

This temporary exhibition was set up to honour the old Ghislain Mahy, by bringing back some iconic items from his collection to the place where it all began: the Ghent Wintercircus.
Unfortunately there were only 10 vehicles on display.
Ghislain Mahy (1907-1999) was a Fiat car dealer and classic car enthusiast who rented this old Wintercircus building for over forty years. Starting in the early 1950s he built up a collection of old and classical cars from more than 950 items. He bought them mainly in France. And many of them were just saved from the hands of car scrapers.
In 1995 Mahy had to leave this special place. His collection was partly sold, the rest was divided over two museums. Restored top cars went to classic car museum Autoworld, Brussels (about 230 items). But the majority, most unrestored cars, found a new home in a new founded car museum in the south of Belgium called Mahymobiles, Leuze-en-Hainaut.

And for the record I did this for fun, but I'd be happy to let Ben use this if he wanted to.
“Tree Swallows are streamlined small songbirds with long, pointed wings and a short, squared or slightly notched tail. Their bills are very short and flat….. Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes….. Tree Swallows feed on small, aerial insects that they catch in their mouths during acrobatic flight. After breeding, Tree Swallows gather in large flocks to molt and migrate. In the nonbreeding season, they form huge communal roosts.”

Dolphin is a common name of aquatic mammals within the infraorder Cetacea. Dolphins range in size from the 1.7 m long and 50 kg Maui's dolphin to the 9.5 m and 10 t killer whale. Several species exhibit sexual dimorphism, in that the males are larger than females. They have streamlined bodies and two limbs that are modified into flippers. Though not quite as flexible as seals, some dolphins can travel at 55.5 km/h. Dolphins use their conical shaped teeth to capture fast moving prey. They have well-developed hearing which is adapted for both air and water and is so well developed that some can survive even if they are blind. Some species are well adapted for diving to great depths. They have a layer of fat, or blubber, under the skin to keep warm in the cold water. Dolphins are sometimes kept in captivity and trained to perform tricks. The most common dolphin species in captivity is the bottlenose dolphin. 1971
