Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.
This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.
The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".
This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)
An anti-lock braking system, is a safety system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking.
A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking, by preventing a locked wheel or skid, and allowing the wheel to continue to forward roll and create lateral control, as directed by driver steering inputs. Disadvantages of the system include increased braking distances under some limited circumstances (ice, snow, gravel, steel bridges, anything other than dry tarmac) and the creation of a "false sense of security" among drivers who do not understand the operation, and limitations of ABS.
A few weeks ago my husband said "every good
bar needs a good HIFI system" and he showed
me a picture of a radio from the 90's.
When I called it radio, my husband told me:
"honey, it's not just a RADIO, it's a high-end HIFI
system that used to be very popular".
Now it's finished, my husband is happy with
how it looks, it wasn't easy, i installed
some functions so that you can use it on
the parcel as a "radio" 😂. It can store
7 stream channels, you can turn it on and off.
Its possible to take a first look in my shop inworld 👍 .
This HIFI system will be released on November 10th @ Equal10.

Hoping to see the creature that made this amazing web system in our garden overnight. And, how 'bout that gigantic slug! 😮 Gardens do interesting things this time of year.
Canadian Shore is an aluminum vessel suited for any trip or adventure in the Pacific Northwest. Whether on the inside passage in BC or the fjords of Alaska, Canadian Shore is highly functional with efficient and reliable equipment.

reach for the sky in a building of steel and glass
feel the greatness of their size and mass
filled with people and energy
who are all full of gas
so lets not pass up a chance to rely
on hopes and dreams in that great big sky
a self contained package of windows and frames
full of bodies who usually are just playing games!!!!!
The Seaboard System’s only two A units make a reverse move to run around their train at Martinsburg, West Virginia.
CSX 1982, the Seaboard System Heritage Unit, is in charge of a big I031 at Fleet, beginning their journey through Virginia on the RF&P sub. This is definitely my favorite of the ones they've released so far, and I was super happy with how this turned out. I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing and photographing more of these, and very much hoping for an RF&P unit to shoot on the RF&P. Thanks to everyone who tracked this, our railfan community down here is pretty awesome.
As with many aspects of life in Thailand there is a order to life that I think only Thai people really understand. For the rest of us everything just looks on the verge of chaos most of the time...
Again, two worlds: on the right, the reflection of a lady in the window of a train passing through a station at great speed. On the left, what you perceive from the station from the perspective of the train. What is moving? The train or the train station?

Sector 13 has been quiet so the androids have been sent to the Advanced Bioscience Lab to be fitted with new water tight cybernetics and combat systems upgrades.
It's only natural that Human and Flit would test what they could do...

The place where this cart comes from is approximately two miles away.
Who takes the cart and bring it to the sea?
I have so many questions now...
Taken quite a few weeks ago now, but this felt like a sign that autumn was definitely on its way even back then.
Cable Cars have no engine or motor on the cars themselves. The power source is centralized in the cable car barn and powerhouse at Washington and Mason Streets (also home to the Cable Car Museum). There, powerful electric motors (originally a stationary steam-powered engine) drive giant winding wheels that pull cables through a trench beneath the street, centered under the cable car tracks (that’s what’s in that slot between the tracks).
There are actually four cables, one for the California line, one for Powell Street, and one each for the outer ends of the two Powell lines (Mason and Hyde). Each cable has its own set of winding wheels. The rearmost winding wheel in each set is adjustable. When a cable is new, this rearmost wheel is close to the other winding wheels. As the cable naturally stretches out with use, the wheel is gradually moved back by shop workers to keep constant tension on the cable. The cables are over an inch in diameter, with six steel strands of 19 wires each wrapped around a core of sisal rope.
