Sutro Baths is the go to spot for a lot of photogs who enjoy shooting cookie cutter seascapes. I LOVE IT when people comp stomp, frame bang and google + (a verb that describes a meetup of about 10+ ppl) a scene. Sarcasm aside, I wanted to find something different than your run of the mill scene from here. I scouted this location out several years ago and lost a couple 5D's here at the bottom of the cove where the massive wave action was because being the doofus that I am, I wanted to be in the middle of it lol. So with the surf being the way it was, I stayed a bit higher to where the REAL action was. This was definitely THE best sunset of the year I dare say. No other people next to me, EPIC conditions ( I don't use these words lightly!) and the scene hopefully isn't a cookie cutter scene to you. :)

Timmappa Naik Karkimakki, one of the few skilled coconut log cutter of my village. He splits the log and that is used for roofing. He is doing this job from ages, earlier he use to do this work using axe, now upgraded and uses chainsaw. No doubt technology enhanced his working speed.

This week's Macro Mondays (9th March) is the theme "Cutter". The series of shots here are my thoughts and working shots ... not necessarily my final choice.
From a series of photos made two years and two cameras ago. This image has never before been seen.

The House of Refuge at Gilbert's Bar, also known as Gilbert's Bar House of Refuge, the House of Refuge Museum, or simply the House of Refuge, is an historic building located at 301 S.E. MacArthur Boulevard, on Hutchinson Island east of Stuart, Florida. It is the oldest surviving building in Martin County.
This House of Refuge is the last remaining of the original dozen shipwreck life-saving stations on Florida's Atlantic Coast operated by the United States Life-Saving Service, one of the predecessor agencies to the United States Coast Guard. Built in 1876 to help stranded sailors, its long colorful history spans nearly 70 years. Today it is owned by the Martin County government and leased to the Martin County Historical Society, which operates it as a museum exhibiting life-saving equipment used over the years and showcasing the keeper's quarters, c. 1904. On May 3, 1974, the House of Refuge was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The House of Refuge is located at Gilbert's Bar (also called "Saint Lucie Rocks"), two miles north of what is now the St. Lucie Inlet on the coastal rocks of the Anastasia Formation, one of the most prominent geologic outcroppings along the entire Eastern seaboard. The house was one of ten houses of refuge commissioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for the United States Life-Saving Service as havens for shipwrecked sailors and travelers along the barren east coast of Florida. It is the only one that remains today.
On March 19, 1875, William H. Hunt of Dade County granted the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury a lien of 20 years for the piece of land at Saint Lucie Rocks known as Gilbert's Bar as a site for a house of refuge on the sea coast. According to the 1879 "Annual Report of the Life Saving Service" these houses of refuge along the east coast of Florida "contemplate no other life saving operations than affording succor to shipwrecked persons who may be cast ashore, and who, in the absence of such means of relief, would be liable to perish from hunger and thirst in that desolate region. Crews of surfmen are not needed here, but the keepers and members of their families are required to go along the beach, in both directions, in search of castaways immediately after a storm."
It offered shelter to the survivors of the Georges Valentine shipwreck in 1904. Captain William E. Rea was the Keeper of the House of Refuge at the time and aided the seven survivors. On October 17, during the same storm the Spanish ship Cosme Calzado wrecked three miles north of the Georges Valentine, but fifteen of the sixteen men survived. The surviving crew joined the survivors of the Georges Valentine at the House of Refuge. The men later returned home via Jacksonville, Florida except for one: Edward Sarkenglov remained and became a local fisherman. Captain Rea and his wife lived in the House of Refuge until May 1907.
In 1915, the House of Refuge became U.S. Coast Guard Station #207 when the U.S. Life-Saving Service was combined with the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service to form the modern U.S. Coast Guard. The keeper, Axel Johansen, and his wife, Kate, continued to serve at the refuge; the title of his position was changed from "Keeper" to "Surfman #1." Four other men were stationed at the house, and during World War I the post of five was supplemented by local youths belonging to the Home Guard.
The facility also served as a lookout for enemy submarines in World War II. It was saved by the Historical Society of Martin County in 1955, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The House of Refuge provides a look at turn of the 20th century living along the coast. Areas available for public viewing are the boathouse, kitchen, dining room, parlor, bedroom and a lookout tower constructed during World War II. New exhibit space includes a timeline of Hutchinson Island dating from 2000 BC to the hurricanes of 2004.

wooden vintage pastry cutter my Father made for my Mother in their early days of marriage. My Father loves pie and this wooden cutter that he crafted in 1953 was used to make the lattice work on the top of my Mother's pies. These days I use this apple cutter to cut out the pattern on the top of my apple pies.
Vibrant series No. 1
This little cookie cutter is just under 1.5" / 4 cm in diameter. I happened to have some matching paper, so why not create a vibrant scene? Inspired by Macro Mondays' "Vibrant Minimalism" challenge.
after D-Day , Sherman crew uses german anti tank obstacle (found on the beaches ) to make hedgerow cutter !!!! quiet clever to enter easily in hedgerows
Hey all! Another Indy scene from me (although I did remember, after deciding to do this one, that the Jungle Cutter just made an about 1.5 second appearance in the entire movie - but oh well, LEGO made a set of it, so I hope y'all remember it as well! XD) - and this one's from the Crystal Skull! And yes, I know I've missed a couple movies so far - I'll be trying to correct that soon if I can, :D
Required poem, XP And if you can't figure out
the tune (with a few interjections, yes, XP), what are you doing reading the description to an Indy build anyways?? XD Hahaha.
What's adventure's
Life to me?
Naught compared to,
Slicing down this tree!
Though I confess it,
Can possibly,
Be a bit drowsy
And lousy,
And frowsy -
You caught me.
Alright.
I admit it, I was asleep,
When he showed up,
Without a single peep (I was asleep) -
And through the windshield,
He let it leap!
And it blew us,
And flew plus,
Right through us,
Adieu us!
Just view us!
What? What?! What'd'ya mean he's the hero,
And not me!?!?

Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome as always! :)
(And yes, before you ask - I didn't want to cut my flex tubes, hahaha, XP)
