I am so glad to see that someone hooked up a battery to this old tractor. And here I was afraid that it wouldn’t move because of the flat tires and all the rust. Apparently it was the battery. I guess a mechanic has determined that is all it needs to plow again.
I don’t know the make or the year of this tractor. It does seem to be all in one piece though.
4 old blue batteries on a blue glittery background.
This is about 4,5 cm.
Happy Macro Monday.

To find these batteries I had to dig into my plastic box where I store all my expended batteries before taking them to the recycling. Most have come out of old film cameras so are not pristine. Before anyone asks the question, the one on the right is actually a stack of two batteries and if you look closely at the right side of the top one you will know what I mean by "not pristine"!

I visited a farm near us recently and was taken by how much fun the kids were having; all playing together and not a battery in sight. Caistor Centre, Ontario, Canada.
Spring-loaded.
For Macro Mondays.
Reminder: In January 2022 I asked for help, and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed ;-)
Macro Monday
Theme: Battery
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
The subject is a AAA battery sitting on a plastic cover for AA

Natural sunlight side lighting at 11 o'clock and a yellow card reflection of the sunlight at 6 o'clock onto the positive pole of the AAA battery.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated.

The lighthouse that guards the entrance to Crescent City Harbor in northernmost California. The spit of land connecting the lighthouse’s island to the mainland is submerged by the tides most of the time, so bring your tide tables with you if you visit! You’ll need them to time your return.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

Two EPX640 batteries removed from one of my mum's old Olympus cameras.
It took many shots to achieve one where the moving battery hadn't either crashed into the stationary one or disappeared out of frame on the other side. 😊
The image measures just under the 3" max
I think the Severn estuary has a melancholy feel to it with its murky appearance, swirling tides and the addition of some flowers that were left at the lighthouse...
Cannons next to the 1st New York Light Artillery, Battery ,(Reynolds Battery) Monument, Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA.
This gun battery was part of Fort Canby, established to protect the mouth of the Columbia River. The battery was built between 1904 and 1905. It was named after a veteran of the Civil War and Mexican War. It was removed from service in May 1945. The aging battery's remains are located near the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.

Located at the northern end of the Odaiba reclaimed land, this is Odaiba in the narrow sense. It is an off-shore islet protected by stone walls and installed with cannons, which is conserved as a historic monument.
Planted trees are Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii). It is planted all over Odaiba.
In response to the provocation by the US "Black Ships" in 1853, Tokugawa Shogunate ordered Egawa Hidetatsu Tarouzaemon (江川英龍太郎左衛門) to construct a set of battery to protect the capital of Japan from foreign powers. He barely completed the difficult task in eight months and died soon after the completion probably due to the hard work.
He was originally a local magistrate in Nirayama at the foot of Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka prefecture. He became interested in the coastal defence matters, learned Western gunnery and techniques in Nagasaki, and eventually involved in the Tokugawa shogunate with this matter.
He realised the necessity to introduce modern iron foundry techniques to produce modern arsenal, for which he auto-didactically constructed the first reverberatory furnace in Japan in his home town of Nirayama.
Egawa's residence is conserved in his hometown. It is a traditional wooden structure constructed in the 17th century without a nail (flic.kr/p/HaHVkF), which is interesting as he is considered the father of modern iron foundry in Japan.
The first day of operation of a new flow of stone from Shap Quarry destined for the construction site of the British Volt 'gigafactory' at North Blyth.
The Newcastle Carlisle line sees very little freight since the demise of coal traffic so a new (if perhaps temporary), flow of traffic is most welcome. The first day saw 66798 collect the empty wagons from Thrislington Quarry, running via the Durham coast and N&C to Shap in the morning. The return was an early evening offering. Perhaps not ideal as it was running straight out of the sun!
66798 heads the 6E80 16:49 Shap Summit Quarry to North Blyth along the banks of the Tyne at Hexham, on the 4th July.
I had to overcome a fair bit of adversity for this shot, most of it my own doing too.
Every night this week, Melbourne has been blessed with colourful sunset. The one time I get a chance to grab the camera and head out, this was as colourful as the sunset got! Blah. No problem, I'll switch to plan 'B', some long exposure photo's. ND filters still sitting on the kitchen table. No problem, just wait a little longer and take some city skyline shots after dark - fully charged battery sitting on the kitchen table next to the ND filters. I only had enough juice in the battery for a couple of shots. I'm happy with this one, but there were far better vantage points I found on the long walk back to the car.
This Week i couldn`t participate on Macro Mondays. My Computer shut down cause of a low CMOS Battery. But my little Helpers are working on it to get me back to the Social Media Network :)
Which is in Portishead , just on the estuary looking out to twinkly Wales. It's where I grew up until I was 14..I used to hang around this lighthouse and climb on the rocks with my friends...also where awesome 90's indy band come from, also called Portishead......edit by Ant because, apparently, mine didn't look edited at all!
