Waterbury Fire responded for a possible structure fire at 34 Brook St in the City's downtown. They arrived to find dumpster fire which had spread up the exterior wall of the Tryst Cafe and into the building's attic space. The initial structure response was E 2,4,7,Rescue Engine 1,Truck 1,3, and Cars 2 & 5. With the RIT team being put to work with concerns for the other exposure buildings E-6 was added to the assignment. The fire was quickly knocked down, roof ventilated, and positive pressure ventilation applied. While the crews picked up the fire marshal's responded to the scene to invesigate the fire.
Globular Clusters are among the most interesting structures in the Universe. Dating to the very earliest period following Inflation, Globular Clusters contain hundreds of thousands of stars that are tightly bound into a dense cluster. Globular Clusters do not exist within galaxies, but rather are in satellite orbits around galaxies -- generally between 50,000 and 100,000 light years out. The Milky Way has about 150-175 globular clusters; larger galaxies have more and smaller fewer. No one is quite clear the dynamics that created globulars and then tied them to galaxies.
M13 is the most conspicuous Globular, barely visible to the naked eye. It is rather close -- about 25,000 light years out, and is well out of the galactic plane which means there is little dust or obscuring gas dimming it. It is only 145 light years in diameter, and contains several hundred thousand -- perhaps a million -- stars, giving it a stellar density that would be truly spectacular if viewed from within the cluster.
Note near the top of the image the galaxy NGC 6207. a small but nice spiral that is nearly edge-on. It is magnitude 12.2, and is only about 70million light-years out.

The subterranean magazine for the 6-inch guns is of concrete construction with brick cavity wall lining on all but the entrance front, and twin brick barrel vaults along its axis. It has a single entrance for outward-opening double doors, 6ft wide x 7ft 1in high, with a chamfered and stopped concrete lintel and plain sill, a sin above the doorway reads ''A2 MAGAZINE''. One side of the doorway is occupied by a concrete block, 1ft 7in wide, 2ft 4in and 2ft 8in high, which helped support a later shelf running east-west along the shifting lobby, shell store and cartridge store. The entire structure is whitewashed, with the exception of the area around the cartridge lift in the north-west corner, which is painted black.
The shell store is encountered immediately inside the entrance and occupies a rectangular space along the west side of the building, 28ft long x 9ft 4in wide. A central circular ventilator pierces the vault. There are two original windows in the west wall wall, 3ft 1in wide x 5ft 2in high, each with its own vault skilfully let into the main vault, they have chamfered and stopped concrete lintels and plain concrete sills. A doorway, 6ft 8in wide x 6ft 7in high, has been inserted into an original third window, giving onto a small room measuring 10ft 4in x 8ft 6in. This room replaces a smaller lamp room, originally entered from the courtyard in front of the magazine, and contains the shaft for the cartridge lift associated with the 1941 6-inch Mk.VII gun. Metal brackets along the east wall of the shell store supported shelving at a height of 3ft 3in, on which the shells were placed. An angled lamp recess in the south wall provided light for the shell store and the shifting lobby.
The north end of the shell store is continuous with a space that spans the north end of the magazine, this is an original arrangement which contained the ammunition lifts. One of these survives in the east wall, a recess, 3ft 0.5in x 3ft 11in, containing the metal and timber mechanism of a band lift, for cartridges, with the winding handle still present. The other original lift, a ladder lift, occupied the north-western corner of the magazine, but it has been removed. Light for the lifts was provided by lamp recesses above the issue hatch of the cartridge store and in the northern end of the shell store's west wall. The shifting lobby lay directly in front of the entrance, it had doors on each end, a central waist-high wooden barrier, and a seat and coat hooks along the north wall. All this was at some time removed to accommodate extra shell storage, the concrete supports for a shelf survive along the south wall.
The cartridge store, reached through the shifting lobby, is a rectangular room, 26ft long x 9ft wide, with a single ceramic ventilator in the vault. Originally, two simple lamp recesses in the party wall provided light for both the cartridge and shell stores. They have York stone sills and lintels and are ventilated into the wall cavity, metal frames for glazing occur on the shell store side. An issue hatch in the north wall has an internal sliding wooden door and another lamp recess above, providing light on either side of the wall. An original second lamp recess next to this one is apparent in the brickwork but all traces of it have been below the whitewash. A courtyard in front of the magazine originally had a flight of steps leading up to the north, providing direct access to the original 6-inch gun emplacement, but no sign of them survives.

Un peu plus, pis on se croirait en train de filmer l'ouverture d'une émission culturelle de Radio-Canada...C'est tellement concept qu'on pourrait appeller notre émission "prochaine sortie". Genre de. Tsé.
What did they say about curiosity and the cat? I think the owners should re-think a screen purchase.
Hoecker Structures has been operating for as the market leading supplier of marquees and temporary buildings to the Australian events industry for over 20 years to the extent that the 'Hoecker' brand has become synonymous for these type of structures within the industry.
I bought the Harbor Freight Portable Garage (Tent) to cover my car over the winter but once I put the framework structure together it was taller than I needed and wanted so I then figured out how to shorten the height by about 20" or so.

These images all started as pictures of some actual object, scene or whatever, but have been played with in Photo Shop in various ways. In some you might recognize the original subject matter, in many they bear little resemblance to what they started as. I love hearing what different people see in these almost as much as I love making them, so fire away--tell me what you see or feel about them!
Most of the images in this set will really reward being seen as large as possible.
