So disappointing to find somebody has left rubbish here beside this fallen oak. Some unwanted chairs and shelving shamefully dumped in this beautiful hidden corner. I'll go and move it when I can and dispose of it properly. Sighs...
DO NOT BE THIS PERSON! "Trauma dumping is when someone shares their traumatic experiences in an overwhelming way, often without the other person's consent. It can be harmful to mental health and friendships."
Drove out to Julian to pick apples at a pick-your-own orchard. What could go wrong? How about a nearby forest fire? Close enough that the area was evacuated shortly after we left.
July 25th last year...one of those nights you drive west towards a crappy storm just hoping, and you get rewarded for your efforts. People say lightning photography is hard, and it is. You have to chase almost every opportunity to up your chances at something great. Persistence, persistence.
The other hard part is exposure. This image was underexposed because I was just doing a time-lapse and lost track of keeping the shutter speed changing...so there is more noise than I want in the image.
But even if you are totally focused on what is in front of you, bolts vary in intensity and while one can blow out your frame, another can be too dark to even light up the clouds around it. Such a battle to get the perfect exposure.
Following on form the previous upload, SY 1359 discharges its load of fly ash brought in from a nearby power station, seen at Fuxin's mine waste tip near Wulong Collery. Fuxin, Liaoning Province, China.

The Wulong dump, which forms a prominent hill in the south-west of Fuxin city, is the product of underground waste and fly ash that has built up over decades of coal mining. In this scene, SY1320 discharges mine spoil from Wulong Colliery. The mine remained operational until August 2016, when it ceased production due to bankruptcy. Sadly, this resulted in the immediate cessation of the steam operation at Fuxin. That said, I have to say that the damage to the environment from coal mining in Fuxin has been staggering and many men have lost their lives in the collieries, the worst at Sunjiawan with at least 214 fatalities in 2005.
I was just trying to get a view of the mosaic without trees in the way... and then noticed the row of bins at the bottom. That's something of a comment on Taiwan education. :-)
IC #6252 and company are almost finished dumping their fresh loads of taconite on Dock 6 as the sky's pinks and purples fade to dark blues and the lights across the harbor in Superior begin to twinkle. The dock loads ships via a conveyor belt system or gravity-feed; the conveyor belt system can load 10,000 tons of iron ore pellets onto a ship per hour. With marine shipping closed for the winter season though, the taconite will get added to the massive stockpiles (frame left) and get shipped out in the spring when the harbor opens up again.
Of the six docks, the first was originally built on the Superior side of the harbor in 1892. The Duluth Mesabi & Northern Railway built their first wooden ore dock here the next year in 1893. As ore mining exploded on the Mesabi Iron Range into the next decade, the railroad built larger and more advanced ore docks to accommodate the steam freighters that were increasing in size.
By World War One, there were four ore docks almost a half-mile long operating here alongside smaller docks for receiving coal and limestone. The adjacent and inactive Dock 5 was built back 1914 while Dock 6 was indeed the sixth and final dock built at this location in 1918. Over time, the smaller, wooden ore docks were retired and deconstructed while the steel docks remained.
To the very far right is CN's Hallett Dock, used for both outgoing and incoming cargos. Various products are handled here from bentonite clay and limestone, both used in the taconite production process.

Schmidt Brothers/Crown Brewery
Below McMickin Ave.
Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati, Ohio
3 Image Autostitch
When Prohibition was enacted in 1919 many Cincinnati breweries closed down, at that time this brewery was called the Crown Brewery and during the first few years tried to stay in business producing a near beer called "Tang", but it was to no avail as the brewery was forced to close down in 1925. In the coming years the lagering tunnels became a dump as toilets and scrap were thrown down into them since it was cheaper than to have the city come and pick up the garbage. When the lagering tunnels were reopened within the last few years the garbage was so heaped it took months to remove enough to make it passable. Most of the trash that was removed were shattered toilets. The plywood walkway to the left actually sits on 2 feet of broken toilets.
While preparing some images for Brewery District President Steve Hampton I came across a group of images I forgot that I had shot to create panoramic shot of the debris.
problem - come home from gym starving.
solution - open fridge and dump random ingredients into large bowl. Devour!

As you can see by this picture, there are no changes to be seen!
I still remain very excited for my new greenhouse to be sited in this spot, but the weather has not been kind and has delayed our work for yet another week! .... living in hope, i carry on and tend to the rest of my garden.
