Die Kokerei Hansa ist eine von 17 in den 1920er Jahren entstandenen Zentralkokereien im Ruhrgebiet. Aufgabe der Anlage war das Produzieren von Koks aus Kohle, das bei der Stahlverhüttung benötigt wird. Zu ihrer Zeit gehörte sie zu den größten und modernsten Kokereien in Europa.

The Hansa coking plant is one of 17 central coking plants that were built in the Ruhr area in the 1920s. The task of the plant was to produce coke from coal, which is required for steel smelting. At the time, it was one of the largest and most modern coking plants in Europe.

Another shot with the macro lense. This time a closeup of my bike tyre valve. Im reminded of the World Expo's at the turn of the last century. The rise of the machines.

This was taken12 years ago when I was playing in the pit orchestra for the musical called Curtains. It was a hilarious "who done it" musical with Music by John Kander and Lyrics by Fred Ebb.

I replaced all the valves of my re-issue 1957 Vox amp. Not all of them are new though, the one on the left is actually dated 1958! They sound gorgeous...

On the ferry to Santander

I have just returned from a trip to northern Spain, so my photostream will be taking a break from London for a while and shifting focus to Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country for quite a while. In fact the ferry journeys to and from Spain had a surprising number of interesting photo opportunities, so I'll start there.

Fill her up. I took the N2 cap off because I thought this would look better. I am thankful that the stem was at the top and not the bottom. I had to work on brakes this weekend and did not need anymore ground time.

Happy Macro Mondays

Felt like showing my butt!!
