Sifting rubble? I didn't stick around long to try to figure this one out, the mountains of rubble around me were sifting & leaking mini-stone avalanches.
Not the usual type of vehicle found in a shopping centre car park. Perhaps we should be grateful that it didn’t attempt to go up the spiral ramp into the multi-storey parking area.
Farm machinery at the Martynn Farmstead. This was once a farm operated by a "back to nature" family in the 1960's, now owned by the Armand Bayou Nature Center in Clear Lake, Texas and used as a learning center. I have no idea what this actually is though.
The Eling Tide Mill has been grinding grain into flour for at least the last 940 years and is now the only remaining working and productive tide mill in Britain. The present building, which is believed to date from the 18th century, is owned by New Forest District Council and run by the Eling Tide Mill Trust Ltd. Built on an inlet branching off a tidal estuary, the mill has a dam which incorporates a special type of sluice gate, known as a 'sea hatch'.
The 'sea hatch' consists of two penstocks, incorporating flaps which open with the incoming tide and close automatically at high tide, trapping the water in the mill pond. This water is then used to operate the mill wheel, enabling a period of approximately four hours working between each tide.
The penstocks are raised if the mill pond needs to be emptied in order to carry out maintenance, or if the river that feeds into the mill pond is in flood after heavy rainfall, or if debris that can accumulate in the pond needs to be released. The old gates and electric motors, which had worn out after many years service, have now been replaced with a brand new installation, incorporating two Rotork actuators. Because the installation is situated next to the public road which crosses the dam, the actuators' local control switches are protected with vandal proof covers as a precaution against unauthorised operation.

It may be a Vacuum tanker I'm not too sure.
Thanks to Jerry of Skeletalmess & Lenabem for the textures.
Also to iangti for original image.
One of the few remaining large textile machines still to be found at the place of their operation. Once dozens of such units oparated in every factory in Lodz - now they are few and far between. For this reason I am very satisfied to have found this beauty and make some shots of it (along with some of her girlfriends from the same location).

Knockando (Scottish Gaelic: Cnoc Cheannachd) is a village in Moray, Scotland. It is a farming centre and the location of both the Knockando distillery and the Tamdhu distillery.
It is also the location of Knockando Wool Mill, which has been producing textiles since 1784 and which achieved national fame as a finalist in the second series of the BBC's Restoration television series in 2004.
Knockando Woolmill sits in the Spey Valley, on the same site it has occupied for over 230 years. Fresh, contemporary designs are woven alongside traditional tweeds and classic woollen blankets - all produced with the same attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship that has been at the heart of the Woolmill since the beginning.
First listed as the 'Wauk Mill' in parish records from 1784, Knockando Woolmill was always at the heart of the community, with local farmers bringing their fleeces to be converted into fabric or knitting yarn. As the industrial revolution crept north, the Woolmill acquired new pieces of equipment, mechanising the labour-intensive processes of carding and spinning that had always been done by hand.
One of the last district mills its kind, the Woolmill was passed down through generations of families up until 2000. By then, the strain of continuous production had taken its toll, and it was recognised that a fundamental overhaul was needed to save the precious machinery and buildings from ruin. The Trust was set up in 2000, and for 12 years they worked hard to renovate the Grade A listed site.
Following the extensive restoration project, during which the Victorian machinery was painstakingly dismantled, repaired and rebuilt, the Woolmill is once again fully operational. Open seasonally since 2012, visitors can experience the sights and sounds of a working Woolmill, learn the rich history of the site and browse the range of quality woollen throws, scarves and accessories.
Here is one of the machines still working

Wherever you go in the world there will always be unloved, unused and discarded farm equipment, usually rusting away in a corner of the field.
This one I suspect is still in use. Resting in the middle of the field and the lack of long grass growing through it suggests this piece of machinery's working life is not quite over.
