It's Lightning to the Nations, DiamondHead - 40th anniversary re-recording I remember it being new. Well - that's not quite true. I remember Metallica covering them in maybe 1985/86 and that's when I got the original. On cassette tape. The turntable is from Pro-Ject and it's playing over a Linn...

40 years. Wow I’m getting old

anglepoise lamp?

Yeah ! We call them a bartender’s optic. Replace the bottletop or cork with this, turn the bottle upside down and when you put a glass under the 3 prongs and lift it opens a valve to dispense 1fl oz of your favourite tipple. Congratulations Zapp

No. But it is the bottom of the thing

Looks like you need another clue. Same thing, different angle

I'll be heading off in about 20 minutes. I'll check in again in 2-3 hours time. Sorry, other commitments

nope

It's not for cleaning. There is a clear part one can 'view' through. And it is 1 piece although it plugs in to another thing.

no

Modern but they've been around for decades. And not air

Main component. And mostly plastic

No Batteries, no electrics at all

Not water

only very tenuously you wouldn't find it in a photographic shop

OK - here's the new object of mystery

At first I thought the right hand side were 'tubes' with holes - hence gas burners. Then I saw them as springs and saw the wear on the brass parts to the left. Or I could tell you that I'm a burglar! ;)

The tumblers of a lock?

The burners of a gas boiler?

The calm after the storm. or Back to the Beach.

A work in progress

I had a wonderful family holiday in Dubrovnik probably the year before the hoards of Game of Thrones fans descended. Highlight was drinks perched (literally) at a bar on the rocks outside the city walls accessed via a 4-foot hole in the wall! Anyway, impossible to get the roof colours right -...

Bookshops in St Andrews, Fife

Love the image. Here's my take on it

While this is a lovely street, I didn't think it quite hits the mark as Street Photography...

Hire this Taxi to fetch you from the party

What a strange and winding path this Topic has wandered. :unsure: A few years ago all of my kit was Olympus m43 except a Sony compact. Then I bought a used Leica X2 which blew the Oly out of the water. Being wary of investing Leica money, I 'upgraded' from Oly to Panasonic. My logic was that...

Valves? Like pre-transistor?

Does artificial light count?

I wonder if he was knitted by hand or on a machine?

OK. I'm acknowledging that I'm feeling an irrational and disproportionate response to this. I'm far more upset and bothered that I should be. At least I think I'm over reacting... I have an appointment with my dentist for a routine check up next week. They've just sent me an email Introducing...

Newcastle does very good 'bridge'.

Good Morning Ad, Welcome to Scottish Cuisine. If there are no 'tatties' (potatoes in any form, chips, fries, mash...) it's not a meal. And one can tell that I'm a bit posh because there's SALAD on my plate! Cheers

Charming little mews house in St Andrews. But look closely at the cat and rat on the roof!

My quiet place for a coffee before I start work.

Technically I was neither walking nor wandering; I was waiting for my lunch. The people from the table in front left but forgot their water bottle. Looked good (no- I didn't keep it). And the lasagne was worth the wait

Dear Cameraderie Members, I'm the last guy to get in to politics - I avoid it like the plague. But this Ukraine invasion has got under my skin. How can there be a war in Europe in the 21st Century? How is that possible? Anyway my favourite plug-in photo processing software is Luminar from...

Awesome story. You could base a movie script on that premise… 😉
