Spot welding a new piece of sheet metal to a railcar undergoing restoration at NCRY's maintenance facility near Sunol, California.
Yippee-ki-yay. Found in Explore, 2/26/21.
Welding cracks in aluminum is tough. With its low melting temperature, you have to be very careful not to ruin it. And the sparks don't last long.
While I didn't capture as many sparks as I would have liked, the smoke tendrils almost make up for it.

Close-up of welds on a “Beast”, a welded stainless-steel sculpture by Lynn Chadwick on the Univ of East Anglia campus, Norwich.
Stainless steel panels were welded together to make the beast. The colours are genuine but 'Sunday' sliders have considerably enhanced them plus added other effects. The ambers are reflections from summer scorched campus grass. The sky supplied the blues!
An especially difficult metal to weld on with its low melting temp, especially when you're just trying to fill a small crack. But it does make for some cool pics. Didn't get the sparks I wanted, but the wisps of smoke are cool.
Today is Earth Day.
Yes, we have walked on the moon, flown a helicopter in Mars a couple of days ago, and our spaceships have shuttled our telescopes to outer edges of the solar system. Yet, mankind’s destiny is tied to none of these places. It is welded to this planet. Our destiny has no PLAN(et) B. This is it!
Today, like calling one’s mom on Mother’s Day, a lot of people talk about saving the planet. I say, cut the lard out of that big talk and realize instead that the Earth day is about preservation of not the planet, but the humankind. If the planet becomes inhabitable to human beings in the near future, life will adapt and continue to flourish via some hardy species. Forests will likely remain green and rivulets will endlessly flow. Only human beings will disappear.
That said, allow me to change a few perspectives. Let’s take another look at our Earth from afar in the solar system. Let’s appreciate the diminutiveness of our planet and thereby, accept ours. Then, with this newfound humility, let’s call our mother earth today –it’s Earth Day after all– and tell her, we will call on her every day.

I always try these shots and they almost never work out. This one is close enough, and so here it is. I should probably stop this, but symmetry is impossible to resist. That's just how our brains work.

Picture from my phone.
Past few days we have done this welding, 12 hours in a day.
It has been really hard for the neck, shoulders and knees, but now its done. What a relief!
Welder in picture is my friend ylli.

جيت وش جابك حبيبي **من بعد طول المغيبِ
ولا ناوي ياحبيبي .**. تغرق الغرقان أكثر
تقول اني ما أهمك .**. يابرودة والله دمك
كنت في عيني أضمك .**. وأتغزل بك وأسهر
اللي جابك هو حبي .**. ولا شيءٍ مستخبي
ياللي ساكن وسط قلبي .**. ليه من حبي تنكر ..؟

The memorial chapel that Charles Weld built in 1852 in memory of his parents.
The Chapel is built in a cruciform style and is surrounded by a cemetery which is no longer used.
It is situated just behind St Giles' Parish Church
in Chideock, Dorset.
A pair of EMD motors rumbles through Brock as it makes its way south. This train was carrying welded rail probably bound for the coast as a long maintenance project was underway at the time.
Three "Temp Sticks" laying on a weld profile checker. The "Temp Sticks" are made to melt at specific temperatures to check pre and post heating. From left to right the melting temperatures are 500, 150 and 300 degrees F. Conversion to Celsius is left as an exercise for the student.
