A modern dinosaur waiting for its next chomp of concrete at the demolition site in the previous image. Hard to ignore the blue / orange combo and the sun glinting off the chrome of the hydraulic ram!

Watkins Woolen Mill in Missouri.
This was my second time inside this mill. The first time, I was really a novice at photography and didn’t come away with much in terms of clarity and a good viable image. If you dig deep into my archives you will see some HDR work I did back then. I don’t encourage you to go looking, lol. This time around the guide was more than gracious enough to allow me to explore just about any part of the mill that I wanted while he gave the tour to an older couple. I was inspired by a fellow photographer I met at the ART WESTPORT fair last weekend. His work was incredible and my favorite piece was a b/w masterpiece of this machine. I will have to find his name and pass it along as I captured his business card before I left. To say I had a heyday would be spot on. This was the first image I worked on when I got home. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Just a straight on capture but the intricate details and the massive piece are just jaw dropping to see in person. If you’ve never been I would encourage you to take the tour.
Here is a little info about the mill taken from their website.
In 1958, The Watkins Mill Association (WMA) was founded to preserve and support the living history of the Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site, the last textile mill with its original machinery still intact in the United States. Watkins Woolen Mill, located northeast of Kearney, flourished from 1860 until 1886 when the cloth shear broke; they continued portions of their manufacturing until 1898. WMA has cultivated an 1870’s venue that highlights quality cultural, artistic and historic education and healthy outdoor activities for all ages.

The second of three abstract images of wrecked farm machinery. I was intrigued by the undulating, slightly fleshy shape of the corroded metal; the "oil here" port; a belly button if you will, leading into its unseen interior Co. Mayo, Ireland. .
Some of the many participants in the Urana Tractor Pull, waiting their turn. This was our first time at a tractor pull and it was a great day. The range off machinery was amazing.
Alley Mill is a gristmill located at Alley Spring near Eminence Missouri. Built in 1894, it uses a turbine rather than the traditional waterwheel. The milling used rollers rather than stone wheels. This was very high-tech for the time. This is a monochrome (sepia tinted) version of an image of the milling rollers.
Tomorrow we go early. I am after a long time again traveling in disused factories. I'm going the entire day immersed in the dark world of paper machines. I'll expand my small picture series "The Requiem of Machinery". And there will be new pictures of "Convicted Claustrophobia"
I was driving along a country road in Alton, Virginia, when I saw these two old steel work horses, who have long since been put out to pasture. There is just something beautiful and powerful about them sitting there in the middle of nowhere, among all those trees.

This photo were taken back in March 2012. I am just catching up with them. I had started to put up our trip to Northland but for some reason never got them all up.
The Greatest Tree in New Zealand
The kauri tree, Agathis australis, is New Zealand’s largest and most famous native tree. Located midway between Auckland and the Bay of Islands in the warm north of the country, The Kauri Museum tells some of the stories of this amazing tree.
Far more than a museum of timber, the Museum has stories of the Māori of the north eastern Kaipara, of European pioneers, of foresters and sawmillers, gum diggers and farmers, and of business people, fishers and the families who have made this area their home.

This machine made quick work chopping up the tree-stumps from my Christmas trees. All I have to do is clear up the mess and pick pine cones off the ground. I have already filled four sacks full. Then comes the interesting bit of deciding what to plant there.
