Antique Farm Equipment
View allAll Photos Tagged Implementation
The old corn cribs were designed so the equipment can pull through and unload, then the equipment stored over winter for protection. Over the years the corn cribs evolved to outpost garages and junk collections in the fileds.
NO! Stop. That implement is for removing stones from cherries, not cracking hazelnuts!
Happy LCOF everyone.
...as the farmer eats his sunny side up eggs. His tractor and the harvest warms up to a rising golden sunny morning!
04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.

What is there to discuss for a long time? Let it into the group :-)) It doesn't matter that one has a dark fur. This is the "cute" version of the topic that I later implemented with the goggle eyes. Sheep as really very small magnets, which look a lot like the gang around Shaun – on a mighty green meadow specially created for them, the floor of which is made of metal (nobody can run away like this) ... And of course the black sheep couldn't be missing ;-) I didn't mean to withhold them, aren't they lovable?

Was gibt es da lange zu diskutieren? Lasst es hinein in die Runde :-)) Da tut es nichts zur Sache, dass das eine ein dunkles Fell sein eigen nennt. Dies ist die "niedliche" Version zum Thema, dass ich dann später noch mit den Glotzaugen umgesetzt hatte. Schafe als wirklich sehr kleine Magnete, die der Bande um Shaun ziemlich ähnlich sehen – auf einer eigens für sie geschaffenen mächtig grünen Wiese, deren Boden aus Metall besteht (so kann niemand weglaufen) ... Und natürlich durfte das schwarze Schaf nicht fehlen ;-) Ich wollte sie nicht vorenthalten, sind sie nicht herzallerliebst?

here it goes to the crazy version:
Looks different. Shall we take it up?
And now for something completely different. I was struck by the light and shadow on these implements in a mug on the kitchen counter.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Making this photo was possible under a programme of active protection and monitoring of the black tern in the Lower Odra Valley PLB 320003 - a key Natura 2000 site for the species. The Zachodniopomorskie Natural Science Society in Szczecin runs a project co-financed from the European Funds: "Implementation of conservation tasks for the Black Tern Chlidonias niger in the Natura 2000 area of the Lower Oder Valley". The access to the protected site was facilitated during the Nikon Academy workshop held in Reczyce and conducted by Piotr Chara. See also: www.akademianikona.pl/tagi/mistrzowskie-warsztaty-fotogra...

La Torre Arcobaleno si trova a Milano, vicino alla stazione ferroviaria di Porta Garibaldi: è alta 35 metri, è stata costruita nel 1964 e nei suoi primi anni di vita non era ancora nota come “Torre Arcobaleno”, dato che serviva semplicemente come serbatoio per l’acqua da destinare alla stazione. Negli anni Ottanta la torre perse la sua funzione, iniziò a deteriorarsi e si pensò di demolirla. In occasione dei Mondiali di calcio del 1990, giocati in Italia, si decise invece di ristrutturarla: fu rivestita con piastrelle colorate e solo allora prese il suo nome attuale, Torre Arcobaleno. Dopo i Mondiali la Torre Arcobaleno si è nuovamente deteriorata, perdendo molte delle sue piastrelle. Da alcune settimane – e anche grazie a Expo – la Torre è stata un’altra volta ristrutturata: i lavori sono costati circa 100mila euro e hanno permesso di sistemare le circa 100mila piastrelle di 14 diversi colori che ricoprono l’esterno della torre.
The Torre Arcobaleno (Rainbow Tower) is a recognizable mark on the city and emotional landscape of Milan, capital of fashion and design. Founded in 1990 by a group of companies that transformed an anonymous water tower at Porta Garibaldi into a colourful tribute to the creativity of Milan, the Tower has been re-stored and returned to its original splendour. The project, designed by the firm Original Designers 6R5 Network and implemented by Baz-zea-B Construction Technology, Condor, Row Solutions, Mapei and Marazzi, is a tribute to the people of Milan and to Expo 2015 visitors. The Torre Arcobaleno is a renovated symbol of the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Milan, now under the eyes of the world thanks to the Universal Exposition.

The Allis-Chalmers Company of West Allis, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee. This great company was one of the pioneers of the industrial age in America and around the globe. Allis-Chalmers built the engines that ran our factories: in 1900, they were perhaps the largest maker of steam engines in the world. Over time, they expanded into almost every type of engine and machine, using the slogan “Ours the Four Powers: Steam, Gas, Water, Electricity.” The company made everything from giant turbines for power plants to the more familiar orange farm tractors. Allis-Chalmers was a continuous inventor and innovator in these fields.

Although Friedensreich Hundertwasser first achieved notoriety for his boldly-coloured paintings, he is more widely known for his individual architectural designs. These designs use irregular forms, and incorporate natural features of the landscape. In architectural projects he implemented window right and tree tenants, uneven floors, woods on the roof, and spontaneous vegetation.
A new schedule implemented this year by Conway Scenic has the railroad operating two round trips from North Conway to Crawford's daily, allowing for this late morning view at Willey Brook on the return leg of the first. This was once a popular angle for shooting MEC road train YR-1 due to its similar timing through the notch. Another recent development is the repainting of ex MEC GP38 no. 255 into Conway Scenic's MEC inspired yellow scheme, matching the railroad's other ex MEC GP38 no. 252 which make a fine sight paired together on home rails.

Camera: Beacon Two-Twenty-Five, a low-end 1950s plastic camera with a 70mm doublet lens. The focus is fixed and ranges from about 5 1/2 feet to infinity. The shutter, at around 1/50 second, is best for daylight shots, but even small movements (such as the horse's ear) can result in blur. Overall, the camera is quite fun to shoot and I was very pleased at the quality of image produced by the doublet lens. The camera is called the "Two-Twenty-Five" because it produces 2.25-inch square images.

A seguito dell'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS lungo l'asse alpino del San Gottardo le Br185 che DB adoperava abitualmente su questo itinerario dovettero essere distolte dall'abituale servizio per permettere la progressiva installazione dei sistemi necessari. SBB Cargo e DB Schenker siglarono pertanto un accordo commerciale per lo "scambio" di una parte delle proprie dotazioni.
Mentre quindi una decina di Br185 vennero assegnate ai servizi "domestici" delle Ferrovie Federali elvetiche, prevalentemente assegnate al deposito di Zurich Limathal, SBB sostituì fino allo scorso cambio d'orario, le TRAXX tedesche con le proprie locomotive su tutti i convogli che dalla Germania si dirigevano in Ticino ed Italia.
Nella foto la Re4/4.11183 sta proprio trainando sul San Gottardo uno dei convogli forse più indelebilmente associati alle Br185 tedesche, il "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza. (30/10/15)
In the last months the DBS Br185.1s used along the Gotthard route had been withdrawed due to the ETCS implementation.
While some loks were working with SBB in domestic freight activities around Zurih Limathal, some Re10/10 were employed to haul also the DBS international trains from Basel to Chiasso.
Beyond the many mixed freight from Mannheim, also the "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza had been entrusted to the Swiss loks.
Here the Re4/4.11183 and a Re6/6 are running just before the Biaschina Loops heading the southbound train. (30/10/15)
The original image I posted here of Normanton Church was to express my gratitude to Carl's Captures for writing me such a lovely testimonial. His words about “refined camera skills” (way too generous!) not only bring a smile to my face, but still make me turn around trying to figure out to whom those words were intended. In the months that passed since I took this photo, I tried to learn new processing techniques which I aimed to implement on this image. Personally, I like this re-processed version more.

An early morning start to capture the view of the lovely Cascade des Tufs of French Jura region. A lovely waterfall in the middle of nowhere and one of my favorite.
Yes the composition was actually inspired from my Flickr friend Stephan. Thank you Stephan for showing the way. :)
I just couldn't control myself from capturing this panorama; however the idea came from you. Hopefully I have at least implemented it well!
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice Easter holiday.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
Built in 1900 and 1904, these two Sullivanesque-style buildings were designed by Kees and Colburn for the Advance Thresher Company and Emerson-Newton Implement Company, respectively. The six-story Advance Thresher Company Building was built in 1900 and stands at the corner of 3rd Street and Park Avenue, with the Emerson-Newton Implement Company Building being built to the east in 1904, with slightly shorter floor heights and seven floors in total. The buildings both feature a unified cornice, limestone base, and orange brick facades, with near-identical Sullivanesque trim details, with extensive terra cotta trim around the entryways, reliefs flanking the window bays, on the spandrel panels, and forming the pilaster capitals at the tops of the window bays, with a narrow recessed brick panel marking the location where the two buildings join one another. The buildings differ in that the Advance Thresher Company Building features more strictly decorative ornamentation, while parts of the trim on the Emerson-Newton Implement Company Building feature the company’s products on the two cartouches flanking the window bays. The buildings are similar enough to appear as a single structure at first glance, with only subtle hints that the two are, indeed separate buildings. The side and rear of the buildings away from the street features a simple buff brick facade with rectangular window openings and a clearer delineation between the two. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and today both house commercial office space.

The Scottish architect John Baird was responsible for the design. At that time, he ran a joint architectural office with Alexander Thomson. After the partnership broke up in 1856, Thomson continued the construction which had begun the previous year. On March 22, 1857, the church was opened. The total cost was about £8000.[2]
Caledonia Road Church as built.
In 1963 the church use of Caledonian Road Church ended and the city of Glasgow took over the building. In October 1965, the church burned down after arson and was subsequently partially demolished. Since the 1990s, there have been various plans for the restoration and further use of the building, but these have not been implemented, and only necessary work to stabilise the building was carried out. The risk to the ruin is classified as high.[3]
Preface: I came upon a handmade diving implement left leaning against one of the dumpsters (bins). I was admiring it as it was obviously hand made and a rather ingenious yet simple device. Being one who is interested in material culture I examined the "diver's wand" as to its construction, materials and operation. I photographed it and noticed a woman watching me.
I was rather excited and showed it to her and demonstrated it workings. She proceeded to put two rather nice chairs into the back of her pickup truck.
She was friendly and curious, both about the device and me. She asked questions about me and my purpose for photographing junk. I asked if she would mind practicing a bit of diving with the wand, so that I might get some photos of its operation, but she declined. She did however offer to take photos of me, so I accepted.
We staged several photos with me holding the wand, which consisted of a hollow iron tube (a sleeve) with two stationary hooks attached to the far end. An iron rod was inserted through the sleeve. At the terminal (business) end of the rod was a single hook, while the other (operator's) end sported a bent handle with a hand made sewn and braided leather grip. These features are best seen in Frame 2. By sliding the rod back and forth through the sleeve one is able to grasp and secure items of varying sizes and at different depths or distances.
Frame 1: I proceeded to the closest dumpster, it was fairly empty, but in the bottom I noted some office supplies and a few books. I poked around a bit and got a feel for the diving device. I became rather excited when I saw "A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets" and with very little effort was able to extract the hard-cover book from the trash.
Frame 2: Ascertaining the condition of the book. Someone had taken very good care of it, I would describe the condition as good to excellent. The paper cover was slightly warn and there was a very small stain or two on the hard cover. In ink on the inside jacket cover was written a price, $8.95.
Frame 3: Same dumpster, a Hardcover edition of Margaret Mead, Blackberry Winter.
Frame 4: Pocketing the booty. A satisfying score.
Afterward: I wondered why someone would throw these books into the dumpster instead of placing them on the reuse platform just 15 feet away.
I retrieved my camera from the interim photographer and we talked a bit, sharing TS observations, and philosophies. I then walked to the homeless camp and asked the occupant if the hook belonged to him. It did not, he claimed, so I returned it to the spot I had found it. Surely it's owner would be back.
A short time later I saw another woman employing the hooking device. I asked her if that was her hook, she said no and asked me if it was mine. I said no, but I had seen it resting against the other dumpster. She said yes, that's where she had found it. I asked her if she planned to keep it and she said "yes, I like it." I said, "but it doesn't belong to you." She replied, "If I don't take it, someone else will."
So that was the end of it. I'm sure she detected my displeasure. It wasn't always that way around here. You could pass an item in the same place for a week or a month or all winter before someone came by and claimed it. Now it guess it's "finder's keepers..."
