Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is battery. At first I assumed that I have no time for that challenge but then, when moving some furniture from one room to another, I found this awesome green rechargeable Amazon’s batteries. Who knew that Amazon had its own batteries ? Not me ! And they are rather cool looking as well !
So then I told myself that I had to add something to this Amazon batteries picture and that is exactly when my tiniest Amazon’s twins (yes, they came from Amazon site as well) raised their hands. The rest is history … or just some Yada yada… and then I snapped the picture of the twins sitting on Amazon’s batteries, keeping all the energy all for themselves. I hope you will like it.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
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.

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.
Macro Mondays 'battery' theme.
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
Cannons next to the 1st New York Light Artillery, Battery ,(Reynolds Battery) Monument, Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA.
Originally built as an 1870s System battery for the defense of San Francisco Harbor under the supervision of Colonel George Henry Mendell. Construction took place between 1871 and June of 1873 but the battery was not armed and the suspension of coastal defense funding in 1876 placed the battery in caretaker status without any cannon in place. Although some official documents refer to the nine gun emplacement as Battery Ridge, the builder of the battery referred to the four north most emplacements as Battery Ridge and the five south most emplacements as Battery Cliff.
The battery was built with emplacements for nine smoothbore 15″ Rodman cannons mounted on iron Barbette carriages. The five south most gun emplacements were 6″ center pintle mounts while the four north most emplacements were 6″ forward pintle mounts. Two earth covered brick magazines were built for the south most cannons and two for the north most cannons. The battery had a commanding view of the Golden Gate and, at 445′, was one of the highest seacoast batteries in the country.

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.
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!
