Built up as a fixed-gear so I can shovel some miles onto it before painting it, boxing it, and sending it off to (approximately) the east coast.
NOBR AKES -- I have yet to braze on the canti (we agreed to not do centerpulls) posts, brake and chainstay bridges, or the wiring ports for internal wiring. When I get the brakes onto this thing (and get a half link to tighten the chain; geared bicycle w/ vertical dropouts, so I can't push the rear wheel back and forth to get the right chain tension) I'll drop fenders onto it and loop it further from home than the approximately 1800 feet I took it w/o anything but my legs to stop the thing.
Ex Lewis R925LAA a Volvo B10M/ Plaxton Premiere 320 C70F is a temporary addition to the Meadway Executive Coaches fleet just while we wait for new additions . Photo taken 25/08/21
Working with gold leaf to give added texture to this found orb, a solid steel sphere of metal from a ball mill. Found at a Ghost mine in the deep desert! It will end up on another piece.
the after-quake tent being set up in front of the studio... for storage, sleeping, and just in case of emergency, little quakes are still felt daily... so much done so far, so much waiting for us, so much to adjust to... thanks to the Protezione Civile! We really appreciate all the help offered and given from so many sides
Bristol Omnibus Co's three Leyland-engined Bristol FLF Lodekkas were the first made for any operator. It did not subsequently become a numerous type. The new engine option was a consequence of the absorption of Bristol Commercial Vehicles into the Leyland empire. Eventually ...twenty years later... it was to prove the kiss of death. The first of Bristol's three FLF6Ls went to the "country" fleet and was always allocated to Bath: the remaining two became part of the Bristol "city" fleet and were placed at Winterstoke Road. In February 1977 both became part of the Traffic Pool and went to Muller Road depot.
I seem to remember that both the city examples were withdrawn and then hurriedly reinstated to plug gaps caused by vehicle and spares shortages. Note that the bus has no fleetname or advertising. From the little square "puncture repair" in the centre of the front dome, I would guess that two-way radio equipment had been salvaged. The bus is seen at the 73 terminus at Church Road, Filton (always "Filton church"), on Wednesday 24th May 1978. The bus served out another year and was finally withdrawn on 31st May 1979.
Along the roads of the Sindh province in Pakistan are tent villages where families have moved to higher ground to escape the flood waters that destroyed their homes.

Sidekick Temporary Setup
Riverstone Townhomes, Mountain View, CA
Casio EX-Z750, built-in flash
NeatImage, Nik CEP (pro contrast, highlights), Photoshop (extract)
1/125 sec @ f/2.8, iso 100, 7.9mm (38mm)

Really Right Stuff doesn’t have the 70-200mm ƒ/2.8 VR replacement foot in stock, so this is my temporary setup. It consists of:
- Gitzo 1228LVL leveling tripod
- Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead
- Wimberley Sidekick (the clamp is on upside down so you can't see the logo)
- Really Right Stuff PCL-II panoramic clamp
- Really Right Stuff D70 L bracket
- Nikon D70 (you can see the UpStrap and Zing hand strap that are attached to it)
- Nikon TC-20E II doubler
- Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 70-200mm f/2.8G IF (there is a Kirk replacement knob attached to it)
It works—the gimbal head glides so effortlessly that Caitlin now thinks that 3-way heads are crap. The big problem is that since it is mounted on the L-bracket, it is hell to switch from landscape to portrait. A RRS or Kirk photo replacement foot or Wimberley plate would fix that. On the other hand, the pano clamp allows me to mount the Nikon with any lens I own. That might prove very useful for vertical or cubic panoramics.
IMO, this is a wonderful example of why you should use Arca-Swiss-compatible equipment. The versatility of mix-and-match is fun. :-)
This photo is a cheat. I actually took the shot of my Nikon setup on my porch and composited in one of my rejected shots of a seagull at Point Lobos (hidden behind the camera). The highlights are blown because I don't know how to use my girlfriend’s camera to do fill flash.
Temporary water meter for drawing water from a hydrant for a construction site. Switzerland, April 22, 2022.
Temporary emergency rub hall tent built by UNICEF for drought affected people in Afar National Regional State, Adaytu woreda (district), Ethiopia. After the failure of spring belg and poor summer kiremt rains caused by the climatic phenomenon known as El Niño, the number of people in need of relief assistance in Ethiopia reached 8.1m in October 2015. Government and humanitarian partners are exerting efforts to meet the food and non-food items needs for the affected population. © UNICEF Ethiopia/ 2015/Tesfaye
just three months ago this land was covered in rows of tenements. it had running water, electricity, sewerage and a sense of community. in three months time, the heavy machinery will arrive and the ground will begin to be prepared for more water, electricity, sewerage etc to serve the new apartments and office blocks. the sense of community will take a little longer to arrive. in the meantime, the remenants of old building walls and the availability of discarded building material on this now derilict land make it ideal for building a little shack on. are these old residents who refuse to move for sentimental reasons or desperate opportunists ? i couldn't find anyone around to tell me. i guess they were all out making a living. with temperatures now dropping below zero degrees C and planning to drop a fair bit further before they start to rise again three months from now, at least the polluted water will smell less bad when frozen.
so as to provide a more balanced picture...
for an idea of what this site might look like in six months click
here, and for an idea of how it will look in one or two years, click
here. both these sites were empty and derilict when i first came to the city but are now being filled again with new life. for an overall sense of the dalian skyline, click here
During the period when the 4REP units were being withdrawn and their motors salvaged for the new Wessex Electrics (class 442) units, several temporary catering units were assembled, some including loco-hauled buffet cars. Here, unit 2601 stands at Waterloo, with the unit cab end showing unit no. 0!
During World War Two, many river crossings were destroyed in Malaya. By 1967 many of these had become ferries but some temporary bridges had been erected post war such as this one.
The temporary gear selector was refitted after the gearbox was replaced. This was due to a fault with the buses own loom / gear selector which had yet to be checked. The temporary selector allows a direct connection to the gearbox.
Crews lowered this 100-foot span of temporary pedestrian walkway into place in August. It ties to the existing walkway and will be in use while the new walkway is being built right next to it.
Gave Ari a room on top of my bookcase just for the moment until I can stop being lazy and make her a proper one. ^_^
(apologies for the awful pictures, the lighting is appalling and I'm a terrible photographer :P)
