Initial work on a LCC fire station. The roof and other chimneys will make for a complex construction so it's easier to build the main part of the structure before getting to grips with the more tricky stuff.
The model is based upon the Edwardian station at Millwall, Isle of Dogs (now closed) although I have doubled the number of bays.

Mooring the Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV) "CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt" in RWG Rotterdam World Gate.
The Shipping Crew gives the lines to the mooring men and dockworkers, who fix them at the bollards. The Containership is coming from Hamburg and will go to the far east (China). It can carry up to 16.020 TEU, has a length of 396m and a beam from 53,6m.
Das Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV) "CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt" erreicht soeben aus Hamburg kommend das RWG Rotterdam World Gate im Hafen Maasvlakte II.
Die gesamte Crew ist im Einsatz. Vom Offizier bis zum Öler befinden sich alle Männer in Action. Die Leinen werden vorbereitet, die Winden frei gegeben, die Wurflinen und Taue zum Festmacherboot herabgelassen. Dieses bringt die Leinen an Land, wo es die Festmacher mit einem Fahrzeug und einer Winde an den Kai ziehen und diese über die Poller legen. Anschliessend werden die Leinen gespannt. So ein Geräusch hatte ich noch nie gehört. Es ging durch Mark und Bein wie laut die Leinen quietschten und kreischten, solche eine Spannung wird darauf gegeben.
I was recently reading an article/interview with Milton Glaser, who is one of America’s most prominent graphic designers, probably best known for the I heart NY logo. In the interview he was asked what was the best advice he could give his students, and he replied: “do good work”. I think this simple and fundamental advice is invaluable. In the end, if you do good work everything will fall in to place.
Part of the oil rig I work on reflected in a puddle. 8 photos stitched together to give an unusual panorama, Quite like it though.
More in the Jezblog 'my own shoes' series ............. this time Jez is modeling heavy duty metal toe work boots on a visit to a mine ......... this stuff will be all the rage in the Fall shows ........
I am wearing a ton of mega safety gear the mine operator insists on........ these guys were mega serious on safety........ the training in using the respirator was very thorough......... alarming and reassuring all at once........
In the picture...... I am in the 'man trip'....... a mixture between a cage and a tiny train carriage that takes you the bumpy 5 miles to the coal face.....
I must sleep mines are so tiring........... I always come away from an underground visit to a mine with renewed respect and liking for miners.......... not sure I could do this everyday....... but more tomorrow.......
Cheers Jez XXXXXXX
PS...... Sorry to anyone attempting to speak to me on the phone...... the cell signal is pretty poor in West Virginia anyway...... and by the time you are down the mines....... hehehe........ even Apple technology can't deal with that yet :-))
Working in an office has many constraints, especially as it is usually because it is organized around a hierarchy. when you spend a lot of time in a hierarchy it can be difficult to imagine a different kind of existence.
It is easy to see people as one thing, and one thing only, and that is their pigeonhole in the hierarchy. The accountant is only the accountant. Just as importantly many people come to see themselves as their pigeonhole description.
People, though, are so much more. Our existences at work and elsewhere are transitional, capable of change. If only we can tell what parts of us are core, and what parts just added on to do a job.
Today, on Valentine's Day, at long last, Yi-wen and I bought our "mutual Christmas gift": a Pentax k100d. It's a nice entry-level dslr. Of course, now she claims that this is not "our gift" but my Christmas, Valentine's Day, and birthday gift.
Whatever.
Bought it this afternoon, took it in to work with me, and took this photo of a randomly chosen page from the dictionary on my desk.
Love the definition.
Posted large to get a feel for what the new toy is capable of.
A picture taken last saturday at Trapani, Sicily, during a photowalk with others flickr contacts, and obtained from a single raw shot and after processed with Capture NX2.
Have a nice day and many thanks for your comments :)
