Print Shop
Hello! Here's a photograph of the printers shop at the wonderful Blist Hill museum, from 2019. Hope that you have a great day, whatever it brings ❤️

A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows the interior of a print shop in a museum at Ironbridge Gorge, Blist Hill. In the centre is the large manual print machine painted black with shiny wooden surfaces. Around the room are the different bits of paraphernalia you would need in this business. This set up is close to my heart, my father was a letterpress operator, 1950s - 2010s.

Guess what??? Another woodsy scene😊 This red dirt trail was very inviting amid the changing leaves and filtered sun. A slim trail leading deeper into the forest but no moving ahead without a wee break to notice the sun reflecting off the tall evergreen at the trail head, its moss all but glowing in the morning light. Accepting foliage embracing their change dance softly in the mild warmth covering the trail in places like natures faerie lights. Beyond the beam, old growth forest beckons beneath a neutral sky

I probably posted a version of this a couple years ago but it wasn't #WeekNforNeon then.

Attention Alphabetters!
This is your reminder that Mon 5 Oct starts Week N and the #AlphabetChallenge is Neon. Signs, artworks, light shows - you get the idea. For the pedants among you LED signs count too as real neon light is rare now. Go big, bright, & bold! Use the # below and have fun😁

One of my current WIPs for #WIPWednesday . The pattern is the Seine Socks. I'm really enjoying knitting this first one. I've turned the heel and am working on the gusset decreases.

Portrait-oriented, 2:3 image. The curved back (or underside) of a radio telescope dish. It is constructed from a series of curved and straight steel beams. The telescope is designed so that the dish can be rotated and tilted according to need.The gears and superstructure to enable this are not seen in the photo. The section shown here extends out from the right hand side of the frame. The outer curve of the structure is on the left hand side of the frame. The background is grey sky with some light shining through the blanket of cloud.

Rivets and Horsepower
for #AlphabetChallenge theme of #WeekMforMachinery

Love the theme this week - am a bit of a machinery nerd!

#EastCoastKin #ECK #ClassicMono #photography #HMSCaroline #Belfast #machinery #turbines #warship
(Android phone camera)
Photograph taken in the engine room of HMS Caroline in Belfast, a cruiser that saw action in both WWI and WWII. Now a fantastic museum with so much to see. We each got to choose one thing each day to visit, and this was mine! The image shows the steam-powered turbines in a low-ceiling hull of a battleship. Lots of metal, lots of rivets, lots of curves, beams and shadows. An image sadly too complicated to try to explain, particularly as the shapes merge into each other in the shadows. A monochrome filter has been used to focus on the form of the turbines which could reach 30 knots and produced 40,000 shaft horsepower. If you're interested in more information, here's the nerd-tastic link: https://www.royalnavymuseums.org.uk/visit-us/hms-caroline/engine-room
