Horace recently bought a new car, yet after only a couple of days he was experiencing a problem with it, he was furious so he took it back to the dealer.🐷🚗👹
One of the technicians came out and asked what the problem was, Horace said it won’t go past 70 up our hill, the technician said what’s wrong with that, Horace said I live at 83.
Thank you so much for viewing my photos.
Your banter and comments are so appreciated, take care in these unprecedented times.

A technician carrying out maintenance work in one of the liners of a 29680 kW engine on a 400 mtr container ship.
The German Philipp Holzmann company was responsible for the construction on the Taurus-section, part of the Berlin-Baghdad railroad project, some 70 kilometres north of Adana. The most difficult phase of the project was crossing the Belemedik plateau in the Taurus Mountains. To accommodate all necessary personnel, approx. in 1907 a large shanty town was built by the Germans (Holzmann company) at Karapınar railway stop (later called Belemedik) in Pozantı district.
Between 1907 and 1914 estimated 3,500 Germans and Austrians where living here. They were engineers, technicians and railway workers (special railway construction platoon 5, Eisenbahnbau-Sonderkommando 5), often with their families. For the Turks in the vicinity, the shanty town was considered the “German city”. It was designed to meet all the needs of the company’s employees. A hospital was built to the state of the art of those days (employing German doctors and nurses), a German church, a mosque, a German school for the children of the employees, a cinema, waterpipes/drainage system, big stone houses, etc. and even a brothel (about 1 km outside of the city). Belemedik was also one of the first cities in the Ottoman Empire that enjoyed 24h electricity thanks to a power station,
Starting as a village, Belemedik gained the appearance of a regular provincial town. Next to Germans and Austrians, a number of Turkish people were attracted to settle here as well as traders. Holzmann had also employed locally many Greeks, Armenians and Turkishs workers and in addition, the Ottoman government provided prisoners (including Armenians in 1914/15) to work in the tunnels. Hence, there was also a detachment of Turkish soldiers in the small city. From 1916 on, an unknown (to me) number of Allied POWs were based here to support the on-going construction works. As stone houses were not common in that region in those days, they have most likely been accommodated in tents or wooden/shanty houses (of which nothing has remained). At its peak in 1917/18, nearly 35,000 people populated Belemedik.
The railway station Karapınar was opened in 1912. Even by then, the site was called Belemedik. According to one source the name Belemedik is the corrupt form of the Turkish word Bilemedik meaning We couldn't guess. During the railway construction, each tunnel was bored by two teams working at the opposite sides of the tunnel. The teams were required to meet at the mid point. When for any reason, one team failed to accomplish the task, the excuse was the word bilemedik and in German pronunciation it became belemedik. Belemedik was the end of the railway until the completition of the Giaudere (Varda)-viaduct at Hacıkırı in September 1918, the connection to Adana (Durak) was openend in early October 1918 finishing the railway works just before the end of the war. The section is using 37 tunnels with a cumulative length 14.4 km).
Work on the railway was long and hard. In the eight years of construction in the area 41 German citizens people lost their lives (accidents, slides and diseases). In 2005, the German Honorary Consul Dr. Teyfik Kısacık bought land and with the help of German company Pratiker (Metro AG) as well as locals opened in September 30, 2005 a new German cemetery. However, if there are any tombs/graves at all in this ground is doubtful. Probably it is more a memorial ground. The memorial plate which was errected was brought from Hacikiri (those dead were brought to the German central cemetery in Tarabya, Istanbul).
The number of Allied POWs who died here is unknown to me. If you know, pls. leave a comment. Those tombs of POWs which were found after WW1 were transferred to Baghdad North cemetery (most likely for white British and Australian soldiers rather than for British-Indian soldiers who might have been cremated or where just buried anywhere).
The Belemedik station was closed at the end of the First World War. After WW I, Belemedik was occupied by the French army, with its headquarters in Pozantı. The French occupying force used Belemedik as a site for a military hospital in which the commander's wife Mme. Mesnil was working as a nurse. Turkish Nationalists (also called Kemalist) captured Belemedik on 10 April 1920. On 28 May the rest of the French troops also surrendered during the battle of Karboğazı. During the rest of the independence war, the hospital in Belemedik was used by the Turkish Nationalists. In the turmoil which followed, the area was widely abandoned and almost forgotten. Until Atatürk was able to establish the modern Turkey, it was said that bandits were living in the remains of the houses and later locals from the region used Belemedik houses as source for cheap construction material. As result, almost nothing of the “German town” has remained (btw., Holzmann went bankrupt in 2002). Still existing are the fundaments of the generator, the chimney of the German hospital and a few stone houses in different conditions (either ruins or to house animals). Today, there is merely a small hamlet left with friendly and helpful inhabitants.

First technician Moston was the only survivor.
The wreckage of the colony ship was spread over many hundreds of miles of barely hospitable terrain.
Lucky his Federation technican training had given him the skills he needed to and before long he had a small team of cobbled together robots who helped him construct a salvage mech. Now he could roam plains in search of other machinery to help him survive and send a message for help.
NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems team at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida has completed stacking the solid rocket boosters that will help power NASA’s Space Launch System rocket for Artemis I, the first integrated lunar mission of SLS and NASA’s Orion spacecraft through the agency’s Artemis program. Technicians placed the forward nose assemblies on top of the forward booster motor segments of each booster March 2 and 3. The fully assembled boosters are the largest, most powerful solid rocket boosters ever built for spaceflight. Each five-segment solid rocket booster will produce more than 3.6 million pounds of thrust to propel NASA’s Artemis missions beyond Earth’s orbit to the Moon. The solid rocket boosters are the first elements of the SLS rocket to be stacked on top of the mobile launcher inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy. Together, each 17-story-tall booster, which features the NASA “Worm” logotype, bear the full weight of the SLS rocket. Next, teams will finish outfitting the boosters and prepare for the arrival of the SLS core stage following completion of the core stage Green Run test series at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The core stage will be integrated with the boosters on the mobile launcher, then the interim cryogenic propulsion stage and Orion spacecraft will be stacked on top and readied for launch.
NASA is working to land the first woman and the next man on the Moon. SLS and Orion, along with the human landing system and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon, are NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and supplies to the Moon in a single mission.

Sargon was one of the best Rolleiflex repairman and technicians in Sydney in his time and he still tinkers with people's camera's. It was wonderful visiting his workshop. I went to see him to get an SL66 repaired which has shutter speed issues. What a surprise and amazing to think of the heritage and experience we are loosing with digital. I hope some young people will take up the role.

Thank you for clicking on my picture. Every thought (faves, comments) appreciated!
Good lights to all of you, fellows.
The Canon AE-1 Program is my favorite manual SLR 35mm film camera ever. I also think it's one of the best looking SLR cameras. It has the biggest and brightest viewfinder I've seen. It's even bigger than the latest top full frame digital cameras like Nikon D3 or Canon 5D Mark II. This camera is also very easy to use. If you don't want to deal with manual settings, just set it to "Program", focus and shot. That's all.
Bringing this album to a close with my favorite photo of what has so far been my favorite sports photography day ever.
I don't usually run the same theme this many photos in a row, so thanks for putting up with it. ;)
Another element of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for Artemis II is poised for flight. Technicians joined the core stage March 23 with the stacked solid rocket boosters for the mission at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Teams with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program and primary contractor Amentum used one of the five overhead cranes inside the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building to lift the rocket stage from the facility’s transfer aisle to High Bay 3, where it was secured between the booster segments atop the launch tower.
In thi image, Artemis II Core Stage is lifted into High Bay 3 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center on Sunday, March 23, 2025.

She's nearly unmatched in her ability to create and in intelligence.
Creator of the most resilient and mysterious mechanical objects in the multiverse, hardly anybody knows about her existence.
I've been working on her for quite a while. She's finally to a point where I consider her finished. I wanted a more stylized and recognizeable character. Although she doesn't have the best of those qualities, I'm pleased with her nonetheless.
