I got to spend some time up close with this rail grinder as it worked back and forth over several sections of the rail. As seen here, it is traveling West on the Pittsburgh line, following the larger rail grinder.
My understanding is this one works switches while the larger one works the main track itself. Either way, when they are done they leave a nice swirl pattern in the rail head. They also had several folks following in high-rail vehicles to inspect the work.

Traditional Turkish coffee is not possible without this grinder or a mortar. It is an integral part of coffee ceremony.
A few months ago I started experimenting with some table-top still life photography and really enjoyed it. The problem is that I'm not the most imaginative person in the world so couldn't think of anything else to take a photo of until my husband bought some coffee beans!
Color Skopar was the most common 50mm Voigtländer lens at the time. Skopar is a direct copy of the Zeiss Jena Tessar. This here is made in the 1960th and a new computing by A.W. Tronnier and he said about the quality that it is nearly apochromatic corrugated. This were possible by using the new heavy glasses of its time.
As all the other Tessars, it is sharp, good contrast and slow lens.
Bokeh tends to be smooth if we come close enough to compensate for f2.8 aperture.
In some situations it becomes quite busy, but I would not say harsh. Objects in the distance are recognisable and has almost a Gaussian blur. Bokeh balls are, at least to my taste, uninspiring. I am not a fan of tessar bokeh. It reminds me of one produced by modern kit lenses.
Used as macro lens, a lens for still life photos, street photos, anything were we could somehow reduce and control bokeh, it is an excellent lens.
Coffee grinder on the photo is one of the very few objects from my distant past I brought here from my native Bosnia. And I use it every time I want a real good Turkish (Bosnian) coffee.

Grinda and Coola are two rescued Frizzly bears that roam in a 5 acre plot in Grouse Mountain Sanctuary. They were rescued as cubs when they were around 6 months old. Grinder was found emaciated and dehydrated on a forestry service road near Invermere in the BC Rocky Mountain range. Coola was found near Bella Coola on the BC Coast, next to his mother who had been killed by a vehicle. Grinder and Coola were orphaned in the wild and rescued in May 2001 which now makes them 23 years old. Grouse Mountain monitors Grinder and Coola 365 days a year with webcams.

This terrific sign dates back to the 1950s, I believe. I shot this photograph in 2014; oddly, it was blue on this side and green on the other. In 2016, the neon was removed. Yes, even that wonderful neon grinder sandwich. (I revisited the sign in 2018 and took many photographs, but they just seem so sad, with all the neon gone. I've yet to share any of those shots.)
And, unfortunately, more destruction was to come -- it has been completely repainted, now brandishing the name of a taco shop, the new owner.
The hurdy gurdy, known in France as the vielle a roue or vielle for short, is an ancient instrument which is undergoing a modern renaissance in Europe and America. First, to dispel a popular misconception: the hurdy gurdy was not played by the organ grinder or his monkey. They used a large music box operated by a crank. Today's hurdy gurdy is roughly the same as those built in the middle ages. It has three to six strings which are caused to vibrate by a resined wheel turned by a crank. Melody notes are produced on one string, or two tuned in unison, by pressing keys which stop the string at the proper intervals for the scale. The other strings play a drone note. Some instruments have a "dog", "trompette" or "buzzing bridge" A string passes over a moveable bridge, which by a clever movement of the crank in the open hand, can produce a rasping rhythm to accompany the tune by causing the bridge to hammer on the sound board. The instrument is held in the lap with a strap to hold it steady. The case can be square, lute back, or flat back with a guitar or fiddle shape. Forms of the vielle a roue existed not only in France, but in Germany, Italy, Britain, Russia, Spain and Hungary.
