Tracking display in one of the launch and guidance control vans. Nike Hercules Site SF-88L is at the center, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area is represented clearly.
Obsolete today, selenium rectifiers were commonly used in military and civilian electronic equipment during the service life of the Nike Hercules system. While they were more reliable than vacuum tube rectifiers, this warning is a testament to the hazards they could pose when they did fail.
Nike Hercules Site SF-88L, the only restored Nike Hercules launch site in the United States. It is located within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco.

Until 1988 countless Lightnings & other aircraft taxied along this track, turned left (just in sight) onto the runway at RAF Binbrook Lincolnshire. If the wind was blowing in from the coast, the aircraft took off & landed in the opposite direction & would have taxied back in along here. Very sad to see the airfield dissused, as I can remember how it used to be when it was a busy front line base.
The former Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul line running past the old, steel railroad water tank - at Mystic in southeast Iowa.
Looking through some old shots last night, I found this painterly version of the tracks and tank at Mystic. I still definitely prefer the monochrome, but thought this one was kind of fun in a different way. : )

Here is a shot taken during the long jump events at the annual Chico Multi-event Classic at Chico State where decathlon and heptathlon track and field events for men and women were held over a 2-day period. I get a big kick out of the facial expressions and body positions assumed by the athletes during this event.
Image was shot with Nikon D750 + 80-200 f/2.8.
The Race Track is located in an isolated section of Death Valley National Park. It takes patience and a decent vehicle to navigate the 50+ miles of dirt road to make the round trip.
The Race Track is best known for its mysterious moving rocks. The combination of high winds, rain and ice all contribute to the rocks movement along the playa, leaving the tracks that you seen in the photo.

Taken in Plzen, CZ . In the 19th century on these tracks, trains full with beer were leaving the Pilsner Urquell factory . One interesting fact is that during summer the wagons had double walls and between the walls ice was put to keep the beer at the same temperature as in the factory's cellar till the wagons were reaching the destination (usually pubs) .

Due to low water levels I could walk over an area of thie Upper Sure river that is normally submerged. I found some animal tracks but I'm unsure about the animal that made them. I think it could be either an otter or a badger. Any expert out there who could shed some light?
Debido al bajo nivel de las aguas pude caminar sobre ciertas zonas del rÃo del Alto Sûre que normalmente están sumergidas en el agua. Encontré unas huellas dejadas por algún animal y pienso que podrÃan ser de nutria o bien de tejón, pero no estoy seguro. ¿Hay algún experto/a que las reconozca?

Caught up with 7th and 8th grade students in Des Moines competing in a track and field meet. Rather than one city-wide meet for all ten middle schools, the competition is being divided into three separate meets to keep the crowd smaller and spaced out. Callanan, Meredith and Merrill middle schools competed at this meet hosted at Hoover High Schools.
