This building was an former nib-factory in Iserlohn, NRW, Germany.
Now it is used as an office for job seekers
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 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!

Factory Butte is a 6,302-foot summit in the Upper Blue Hills in northern Wayne County, Utah, United States, about 12 miles northwest of Hanksville and about 14 miles east of Capitol Reef National Park boundary. The approach and the base of Factory Butte are made of the clay/silt mudstone of the Mancos rock type, which erodes into sharp rills, deep gullies and badland-type rock (fine-grained clay/mud). The crown of the Butte is Mesa Verde sandstone, which erodes into sheer vertical cliffs.

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。
