Windmills have become part of the Canarian landscape, silent witnesses of a past in which they played an important role in the economy of the islands. In the case of Fuerteventura, they existed profusely because this typology is developed mainly in arid or desert regions, taking the wind as a source of energy, to make up for the lack of water currents. To this contributed the almost permanent presence of air currents in the islands and the orography of the island, characterized by vast plains only "interrupted" by these peculiar constructions.
Their typologies are made up of two very different types, but one of them predominates numerically. The most abundant is defined by an architectural structure of flat circular plant, with truncated cone shape made of masonry, topped by an irregular conical or pyramidal wooden roof of which one of its parts is open to give exit to the axis of the blades. The interior is divided into two floors, with access to the upper floor by an interior staircase, in some cases, or exterior, in others. The other typology, of which there are fewer examples, is defined by a quadrangular building, on which rises a tower made with a framework of wooden railings, which supports the blades. In the center of the tower descends an axis that connects the gearing of the blades with the stones.

Local Muong girls harvesting tea leaves, Long Coc, Vietnam
Tea production is a cornerstone of Vietnam’s economy, with the country ranking as the 7th largest tea producer globally, and supporting the livelihoods of over 400,000 families, particularly in rural and mountainous areas. Workers rise with the sun to handpick around 15 kilograms of tea leaves each morning, ensuring freshness and quality. Beyond its economic impact, traditional tea cultivation and processing techniques, passed down through generations, reflect Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage and the dedication of its people.

Hartz IV (officially called Arbeitslosengeld II until 2023) was Germany’s basic unemployment benefit for long‑term unemployed people. It provided a low fixed monthly payment plus housing costs for people who had no job or very little income. The system was known for strict rules and sanctions if recipients did not actively look for work.
In 2023, Hartz IV was replaced by the Bürgergeld, but the term “Hartz IV” is still widely used and strongly associated with poverty, unemployment, and social stigma in Germany.
If a political campaign poster promising a “strong economy” simply says “Hartz 4,” it is likely meant satirically or critically. The message could imply:
• The promised “strong economy” would actually lead to unemployment and poverty.
• The party’s economic policies might increase the number of people needing welfare.
• Or it mocks the idea that the only result of their policy would be more people dependent on state support.
So in satire, “Hartz 4” can symbolize economic failure, social inequality, or a lack of real opportunities.

I can now continue to reveal the competing images from the 2021 Sandwich Fair Competition.
These images continue the series from the Sandwich Fair, the biggest and the last county fair in the state of Illinois. Known simply as "The Fair" by locals, it was started in 1888 and is the oldest continually-operated county fair in Illinois as well.
Held the week after Labor Day, the Sandwich Fair can draw tens of thousands of visitors per day and is a photographer's delight.
It is the reason why my photography club, the Sandwich Photographic Society exists. Formed in 1986 to document every aspect of the 100th Sandwich Fair in 1987, SPS is now a Chicago Area Camera Club Association certified club.
SPS sponsors a "Sandwich Fair Challenge" every year a themed photographic competition open to all that consists of 10-15 categories with the only criteria being that all images need to be taken at the current year's Fair. Many of the images featured in this series were taken to fit these categories.
This image is of one of the antique engines found inside the railroad tracks as part of the antique engine display, a long-running hallmark of the Sandwich Fair. These antique engines are highly collectible and prized by their owners. Many have been lovingly restored. This one, made under the Economy label, still runs, and is part of a belt-driven display that either shucks corn, pumps water, or saws wood.

Museum Marta Herford, Germany
With its flowing and tilting walls, Marta in Herford, East Westphalia, is one of the most unusual museum buildings worldwide. For the facade, American star architect Frank Gehry chose dark red bricks, which contrast with the bright stainless steel roof and the white plastered building core.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Herford had developed into a significant location for its furniture and clothing industry. This highly productive and globally active economic structure led committed individuals in 1996 to the idea of setting an unmistakable mark in the region. The basic idea was to bring together art, economy, and society in a spectacular building. The decision for Frank Gehry as architect and Jan Hoet as founding director gave the project its decisive direction. On May 7, 2005, Marta Herford was finally ceremoniously opened with great public interest.
The swinging movement of the forms is echoed in the loose arrangement of stones on the ground, and the undulating roofscape also reflects the adjacent course of the Aa river. Inside the museum, this continues: as dynamic spatial volumes with an almost dance-like choreography, the architecture transforms every exhibition into a unique spatial experience. In addition to the galleries, the Gehry building also includes the light-filled Marta Café with an outdoor terrace by the water, the museum shop, and an event forum. A completely different architectural language of straight lines and right angles opens up to visitors in the lobby.
The core of the museum is an former textile factory of the Ahlers company, which was built in 1959 by Walter Lippold. Gehry left this building largely unchanged in its basic structure. While the first floor of this existing building houses additional exhibition spaces with the Lippold Gallery, above it are the Marta Studio, the Marta offices and seminar rooms, as well as the premises of the associations of the wood and furniture industry of North Rhine-Westphalia. With its opening in May 2005, the city of Herford also sent a clear signal for a future-oriented development of the station district. The sculptures around the Marta grounds are among the most important artworks in the city. In recent years, the museum has also contributed through its gradual expansion to visitors experiencing Marta as a vibrant meeting place. Thus, the Marta Studio on the second floor offers ideal conditions for a diverse workshop program in museum education. And the idyllic garden at the Marta Depot, designed by the renowned “atelier le balto”, invites visitors to a spontaneous stay with a view of the river at any time.
A Via Cristoforo Colombo é a artéria principal de Riomaggiore, a povoação mais a sudeste do Parque Nacional das Cinque Terre, na região da Ligúria, Itália. Esta via pedonal liga a parte alta da vila à marina, estando ladeada por edifícios característicos da arquitetura vernacular liguriana, conhecidos como "case-torri" (casas-torre). As fachadas estreitas e altas destas edificações são pintadas em tons polícromos de terracota, ocre e amarelo, e foram historicamente projetadas para otimizar o espaço limitado entre a montanha e o mar Mediterrâneo. A Via Cristoforo Colombo é o centro da vida social e comercial da localidade, refletindo a dinâmica entre a preservação das tradições locais e a forte presença do turismo internacional. Classificada como Património Mundial da UNESCO desde 1997, Riomaggiore transformou a sua economia, outrora baseada na viticultura em socalcos e na pesca, num dos destinos mais visitados da Riviera Italiana.
Via Cristoforo Colombo is the main thoroughfare in Riomaggiore, the southeasternmost village in the Cinque Terre National Park in the Liguria region of Italy. This pedestrian street connects the upper part of the village to the marina and is lined with buildings characteristic of Ligurian vernacular architecture, known as “case-torri” (tower houses). The narrow, tall facades of these buildings are painted in polychrome shades of terracotta, ochre, and yellow, and were historically designed to optimize the limited space between the mountain and the Mediterranean Sea. Via Cristoforo Colombo is the center of the town's social and commercial life, reflecting the dynamic between the preservation of local traditions and the strong presence of international tourism. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, Riomaggiore has transformed its economy, once based on terraced viticulture and fishing, into one of the most visited destinations on the Italian Riviera.

Visually reminiscent of the Age of Rail, which had a positive impact on the economy of Hillsboro, the Katy Depot stands today in close proximity to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad lines as well as the Hill County Courthouse (National Register, 6/21/71), the focal point of the downtown commercial district. Hillsboro was established in 1853 to serve as the governmental seat and trade center for a basically agrarian county, cotton the primary crop. The completion of the MKT Railroad through Hillsboro in 1881 increased the commercial activity of the city and broadened its economic base. With locally raised funds, the citizens of Hillsboro purchased the right of way and property needed for a depot. Functional requirements dictated the size and massing of the structure which reflects architectural and decorative styles popular at the turn of the century, reminiscent of the Prairie style of architecture.
The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, commonly known as the Katy, was the first rail line to reach Hillsboro. Passenger service on the line, which connected Fort Worth and Temple, began on April 26, 1881, with four daily trains and a sleeper through to Chicago. The Katy Railroad brought a surge of economic activity to this agricultural region, becoming a major means of exporting cotton and livestock. As the economic base broadened, so did the population, which facilitated both residential and commercial expansion. Building materials were brought in by train and used to construct then contemporary structures. With the completion of the railroad several Katy buildings were constructed including: a frame station consisting of a waiting room, office, and a freight room; a cotton platform; and a section house. In 1894, Katy built division shops and a roundhouse in Hillsboro. The original station was converted to a freight house in 1902 and the present depot (seen in the photograph above) was erected on the land purchased by the city of Hillsboro. Throughout its operating years, the depot served as an integral part of the Hillsboro community. Among those visiting Hillsboro via the Katy were railroad tycoon Jay Gould, and Presidents Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, Calvin Coolidge, and Harry Truman. And, the depot served as the departure and arrival point for World War I and II soldiers serving their country.
On December 19, 1979, the Katy Depot (aka the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Company Railroad Depot) was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its architecture, history, and being the location of historic events as described above. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration which can be viewed here:
