I just couldn't resist using this pointed rock as a foreground element leading to Factory Falls. The water level was low and the fall foliage was sparse but it was still wonderful to be outside enjoying nature.
This building was an former nib-factory in Iserlohn, NRW, Germany.
Now it is used as an office for job seekers
The Factory is a new pub in downtown St. John's. (as if we needed another) They got a group of artists together to paint the walls yesterday. Fun event!
Tucked away off the path on the way up Glaramara lies the remamnants of a stone axe factory .. probably looking very much like it did on the day the last man in furs left the site. The stone scalpings are still lying there and the rock where they must have sat is reasonably comfortable. Everyone is more familiar with the one of Pike o Stickle, but unbeknown to most there are many scattered around the Scafells and outlying ridges where outcropping of hornblende arises.
This is the site of what might be called the first recognisable 'industry' in the British Isles. The scree slopes here were quarried some 5,000 years ago for the raw materials for stone axes, which were then shaped and eventually ended up distributed round the country.
The first settlers in the Lake District came to the area by sea. They moved inland along the rivers, and along the way discovered the area we call Langdale and its greenstone volcanic tuff. They made polished axe heads with it. From here, the axe heads were exported, presumably through trading. There is a track leading east along the ridge from the site that may well date from the 'factory' period.
A study of stone axe heads from all over England and Wales came up with the surprising discovery that 27% were made of Great Langdale tuff and therefore originated from this site. Most such axe heads were found in Lincolnshire and the East Midlands area but many were found much further afield — in Northern Ireland and even Poland.
A number of the axe heads from Langdale were found in wet places — marshes, streams, etc. and showed no sign of having been used. This may indicate that they had been placed in significant spots as some kind of religious offering.
A word of warning: this site is high up and on unstable slopes of loose rock, making it a dangerous place. Not one for a family outing. And please note that it is against the law to remove anything from this site.
The Great Barrington, Massachusetts feeder rail, depot, and mills -- the elements of the local supply chain -- give way to rust.
So we watched Elf last night and I got a bit inspired by Buddy's talents in the snowflake department. That movie is one of my favourite christmas movies and it always makes me laugh!
I must say the last few days have been strange not shooting and posting to Flickr. On thursday I felt this surge of panic at about 8pm, fearing that I had forgotten to take a photograph. Friday was better but today I really felt like something was missing during my day so I got out the scissors, paper and my camera and had fun just playing. I think I need to find the balance between posting every day and posting every once in a while....in time I suppose!

Factory Butte is an eye-catching land formation located along Route 24 at Cainville, Wayne County in southeast Utah, USA. It was named by early settlers of this region because of its resemblance to a mill in Provo, Utah. Image taken seven minutes after sunrise, April 27, 2016.

While chasing birds in the park, I almost entered this forbidden area. I was 20 feet away from it. And it looked like a giant duffle bag.
在公園追鳥的時候，差點誤闖禁地。這個蜂巢離我只有二十呎，遠看好像一個又長又大的行李袋。
Factory Butte in Wayne County, Utah is a 6,302-foot (1,921 m) summit in the Upper Blue Hills in northern Wayne County, Utah, United States, about 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Hanksville and about 14 miles (23 km) east of Capitol Reef National Park boundary.
The butte was so named by early settlers who thought its outline resembled a huge factory building, the Provo woolen mill in particular.
The synonymous Factory Butte in Emery County, Utah lies a mere 15 miles (24 km) to the west-northwest. The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin described it as a "Monolith that towers over the San Rafael Desert and harbors pockets of protected cacti". The Bureau of Land Management controls the area and they describe it by saying it is a popular recreation site for motor vehicles. It is also a place to view wildflowers and tourists also stop at Factory Butte to photograph blooming cacti and desert flowers.
