FrogBridge, the 1st non-tree cutting project this season. The base got dragged home 20+ years ago
It’s the inner Bed for a GE MRI. 1st idea was a hydroponic table, then a work table, then dragged it out to the inlet to kill vegetation for a year so I could dig out a channel in the swamp grass, black muck, peat, PITA! $50 in inflated lumber, $10 in inflated screws and I have a bridge to nowhere :laugh:
-
It may be a bridge too far, to nowhere, but it's good looking!
-
:laugh:
the Tannins in the water patinaed it up nice, making it look like rusted iron instead of composite fiberglass!
-
Those MRI and fast CT components are really (really) well made.
They have to be! Some patients are just gargantuan . . .
In a CT class I took, we had to calculate the G forces of the spinning gantry, and I was astonished.
Anyway, your bridge looks great.

:l2: Most of the tables in my day were spec'd 350lb moving, 450lb lift - hold
That one was a PITA!!! to remove, it's ~10ft long, 4 times a year, 5 systems so you can do a 10 minute tweak, 1hr assemble/disassemble!
you wanted to be on your A-game if you had to have your face near the rotating gantry. spec was just under 1 sec over 360 degrees, set for 2 seconds for humans :laugh:
I funded a few Summer trips for Sunday School teens from the scrap value of ~~ 1000lb of aircraft grade Aluminum per system, we bought 5
for spare parts

I ordered the lumber last fall with stuff for inside work over the winter. had a couple nice days so instead of the blue tarp from hell, I now have the "next year" overflow box, even had the wood waiting from earlier this year.
found some new growth also, maybe 8-10 scattered just beyond the mow line

... and just like that, 68 becomes 28! :icon_biggrin:

remnants from a mile high glacier just North of here a bit

The Honeybees hatched today. Zoom the 1st pic, the sky above the roofline is washed out, the hi-flyers were nearly as dense as the roofline. The swarm didn't split, so no queen
input on the 2nd pic, did I catch wingbeats, or digital anomalies?
-
That's a lot of bees!
I think your shutter speed was slow and you're just seeing the bees in motion -- twilight zone stuff.
Looks like a Stephen King set: a grand old barn, swarming bees, a lawn tractor ready to go (but not until the bees disperse), a door to nowhere . . . what more could you ask for?

:laugh:
you missed the "woodchipper"
ya, the settings are 1/8sec iso120 F5.6 so ya blurred, but the "sawtooth" part of the streak is what i'm not sure of
-
I enlarged sections of the image, and I think the sawtooth pattern persists. In addition, the sawtooth pattern is present both vertically and horizontally. For these reasons, I "think" this is not a digital artefact. Not sure what it might be . . . but maybe we're seeing the wing root as the bee flies?
:laugh: And yes, I did miss the woodchipper. I need one of those . . .

Blackberries are getting ripe. BOGO -- two for a quarter. :icon_biggrin:
