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.
The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.

Day 354. After spending a couple of days feeling under the weather and stuck in the house, I went on a short ride round the local woods with my son. We pass through a farm yard where there was laid out a random collection of rusty bit and pieces. I took a wider shot that's elsewhere on my photosteam, but for this shot I closed in on the rather intriguing pattern and texture of the of this old rusty implement that I guess was used to turn the soil on the field.

A new morning reveals old technology. A hundred years ago, this plow was state-of-the-art technology, but today, it has been repurposed as art on the estate.
HFF!
Symbolic metal mirror drops were created to be placed in the central square of Kharkov on the day of the city, August 23. But due to the insane shelling of Kharkov, which Russian barbarians continued to carry out, it was impossible to install an art object there. And the authors came up with a proposal to decorate the public space of Kyiv with giant drops.
As conceived by the authors, the drops gravitate both to the ground and to each other, symbolizing the unity of the two cities - the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, and Kharkov, which today courageously resists the Russian aggressor.
The project was implemented by a workshop from Kharkov METALSTYLE, they called it "Unity"
Символические металлические зеркальные капли были созданы для размещения на центральной площади Харькова ко дню города (23 августа). Но из-за безумных обстрелов Харькова, которые продолжали совершать российские варвары, установить там арт-объект было невозможно. И авторы обратились с предложением украсить гигантскими каплями общественное пространство Киева.
По замыслу авторов, капли тяготеют как к земле, так и друг к другу, символизируя единство двух городов - столицы Украины Киева и Харькова, который сегодня мужественно противостоит российскому агрессору"
Проект был воплощен мастерской из Харькова METALSTYLE, они назвали его "Единение"
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.
Continuing my series, Maxwell is a small town in Story County, Iowa with around 860 people. Businesses include a small grocery store, a gas station, a bank, medical clinic and funeral home. However, what I find fascinating is the Historical Society’s museum. There are two large century-old buildings plus a machine shed with farm implements. I only show one building in this photo, but the combined museum collection holds over 13,00 items from the 1800’s to date. I find that quite amazing for a small town.
Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
About the series: Life in a small Midwestern town often means a slower pace of life, close-knit communities, and a strong connection to the land and agriculture. Residents typically have a strong sense of pride in their hometown and a friendly, neighborly attitude. Small towns usually have limited employment and entertainment options, but the tradeoff is typically a lower cost of living and a quieter, more peaceful environment. Presented in black and white at night, I hope to capture the essence of a few small Iowa towns in this series. Series Album: flic.kr/s/aHBqjBWTai

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.

The business end of a small carbon fiber brush for cleaning a phonograph stylus (needle) as safely as possible. The bristle cluster itself is ¼ inch (6mm) diameter; the overall length of the brush is just under 2⅜" (exactly 58mm) long.
The very fine-bristled brush, when used correctly, is a lot easier on the stylus and the fragile cantilever (stylus support arm) of a modern cartridge than the time-worn tactic of using your index finger to knock those little dust bunnies off the needle. Of course, keeping records clean minimizes the likelihood of those bunnies multiplying ;).

An extreme close up of the working side of a meat tenderiser.
Last week my son and I were making schnitzel. He had the job of bashing the pork loins and he commented that the tenderiser looked like a Cluedo murder weapon: Colonel Mustard, in the kitchen, with the meat tenderiser!
HMM to you all.
"Spreading a Little Sunshine" in Capitol Reef National Park.
I photographed this vintage farm implement, an old manure spreader, in a park that includes a lot of agricultural history. I grew up using a more modern version of this spreader, on our family dairy farm in eastern Oregon. Ours was pulled by a tractor, rather than a team of horses. Ours used the Power-Take-Off (PTO) from the tractor to convey the manure to the spinning tines at the end, which flung the dung out into the field; whereas, theirs was powered just by the horses and those large wheels connected to a series of gears. Either way, you didn't want to be near those spinning teeth at the back end, or you'd get "sunshine" in your face!
The hardest part of creating this photo was making sure the Photopills app was correctly calibrated on my cell phone, so that my Blue Hour camera/tripod alignment shot was correct for the Milky Way core, which wouldn't be visible for another 90 minutes.

Today, I’m implementing a new policy that should please some of my Flickr friends.
I have been wearing some of you down with my voluminous series. Today, that stops.
Oh, I’m not going to quit telling stories, just not on Flickr. Here, I’ll post one photo of a bird, animal, place, or subject at a time, along with a link to my blog, where I’ll put the story and additional related photos. The links will take you out of Flickr for a moment, but you can easily return from my blog by clicking the return link there.
birdsandmusings.wordpress.com/2017/04/10/welcome-to-birds...
Perhaps no one will elect to go to the blog. At least, however, folks will have a better opportunity to do what I think most Flickr users want to do: quickly pop in to see what a Flickr friend is seeing, then quickly move on to the next....
If you have any feedback on this notion, I’d love to hear it....
Cheers! Have a great day! 😊

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..."
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesses.

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]
