Technically, I guess they're hatched to run. Regardless, the greater roadrunner is aptly named. They can run at quite a pace. We've seen them in the deep desert or suburban parks like this one. Their tails and crest seem to be quite dynamic - always raising and lowering. Cool birds.
Red, vintage 1930 Škoda 154 fire truck stands in the National Technical Museum, Prague, Czech Republic.
Fire fighting automobiles started to replace horse drawn fire engines in the first decade of the 20th century. In 1930, there were already 317 of fire fighting automobiles in Czechoslovakia, most of these produced in this country. Automobile plants, however, as a rule supplied only the chassis of the vehicle, which was then equipped by a specialized firm with fire-fighting facilities and usually also a pump driven by the vehicle's engine. The fire engine on display, which was purchased in 1930 by the Fire Brigade in Náchod — Staré Město nad Metují, was built on the chassis of a Škoda 154 lorry by the V. Ig. Stratílek – Firefighting equipment factory in Vysoké Mýto.

Happy Truck Thursday!
I was experimenting with Technic panels and this little craft appeared. I'm not sure if it's a spaceship or anti-grav flyer.
There are some more views on Instagram. I'm quite proud of fitting the engine into the tail!

Hopefully I'll get into the main 20!
Here is the full body pose for y'all to look at properly:

Aula Technical University Delft.
The Aula of the Technical University in Delft located on the north side of the campus was built from 1959 to 1966 by the Dutch practice Van den Broek & Bakema. The building houses an auditorium with 1300 seats, four trapezoid lecture halls with 250 to 350 seats, the senate hall and the university cafeteria. The auditorium is connected via a walkway to the Physics Department. In an earlier draft, the project from 1958 the project included an administrative tower which was not realised.
The auditorium looms above the main entrance. The hall is shaped like a saucer (hence the building's nickname "the UFO") and is supported by triangular concrete columns. The lecture halls at the rear are supported by a similar construction. To support the 15 metre overhang prestressed concrete had to be used. The ends of the prestressing cables are left exposed. The building has a collapsed roof. Steel frames were used for the exterior walls.
Besides the auditorium Van den Broek and Bakema also designed the campus' boiler house and thee Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture. The cafeteria on the ground floor was refurbished in 1998/99 according to a design by Mecanoo.

well, geographically this shouldn't be in my "Bremerhaven" set. But I re-visited this place while staying there...
Technically, and honestly, these are three sunsets. But I haven't heard a song about three sunsets. So, the title stays.
This is the majestic and mighty Mekong. And my humble spectacles. And rods poking out of the boat I was travelling in.

Technically at Gamper bay between Sennen and Land's End, this is the wreck of RMS Mulheim, which ran aground on 22nd March 2003, losing its cargo of plastic. The circumstances of the loss are a little unusual to say the least!
From Wikepedia:
"On investigation, it was discovered that the chief officer—who had been on watch at the time—had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and rendering him unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, RMS Mülheim was already bearing down on the shoreline."
Watch your step! I felt it looked like the huge waves of storm Ophelia had resurrected the old Wreck to get her to sail once more. Quite a spectacle from the cliffs.
