The famous ferry over the Kam Tin River (錦田河) from Chung Hau Yu Man San Tsuen (涌口漁民新村) to Shan Pui Tsuen (山貝村). It covers the astonishing distance of 25 metres... - powered by 1 mp (manpower).
Fee was HK$ 5 per person at the time the shot was taken, as of late 2022 it went up to HK$ 8. And one can not use the Octopus card here 😄.

...beim Erweiterungsbau des Deutschen Schiffahrts-Museums.
Das ursprüngliche Gebäude war eins der letzten Projekte von Hans Scharoun.
Für die Modernisierung und den Anbau zeichnet Dietrich Bangert (Bangert-Scholz-Architekten) verantwortlich.
Die Skulptur "Seemannsarm" schuf Stephan Balkenhol für das Deutsche Schifffahrtsmuseum. Der hölzerne Arm, auf dem eine Frau »tätowiert« ist, wurde zu einem Anziehungspunkt, weil es menschenfreundlich ist und dazu einlädt, es anzufassen oder sich darauf niederzulassen.

Once upon a time it was
- pulled by 1 horsepower and
- steered by 1 manpower
--- modern and heavy farming machinery has made such a plough redundant and the work for a farmer easier and now this ancient plough can rest in a Wild Garden in West Wales :-)

This fair has a history.
It happens twice a year.
It started as a hiring fair in the reign of Edward lll (circa 1351) and the need to regulate manpower, matching workers with employers, after the Black Death greatly reduced the population of England.
Today it is a funfair that is held in the High Street for all the family to enjoy.
Manpower against horsepower, no contest; the tram wins every time.

Deventer is an ancient city and also a quick learner, it only took one complete destruction of the settlement by the Vikings in 900 to convince the village that a pound of prevention was worth 2 pounds of cure and they devoted manpower and resources into securing the town with formidable city walls.
Its location on a key trade water way and ability to defend their piece of the trade route made Deventer an economic powerhouse throughout the middle ages.
The city is the original Hanseatic Town, it embodied strength through unity most likely from its traumatic 1rst experience with the Norsemen and its sincere wish not learn from past mistakes.
I didn’t spend as much time shooting in Deventer as I would normally take instead my time was better spent with my lovely wife enjoying some nibbles and beer/wine for a change, sometimes you just need to relax and smell the ambiance.
Captured here is a little scene from anywhere you want in the Netherlands I am not sure where in Deventer this is but it had the right elements for me to take this shot, let me know if you know anything interesting about the area, cheers.

Due to manpower issues that have plagued CN’s Wisconsin Central property, trains are being terminated and combined with others. Train B791, a potash train off the CSX in Chicago was a victim of just that, and was terminated early in Proctor, MN instead of continuing on to its destination in Saskatchewan. An 0115 on duty crew off of train M342 got tasked to shuttle B791 to Proctor on a snowy January morning with the inbound A438 power in tow, and after cutting away from their cars in Proctor’s “F Yard”, they’re heading to the diesel house with DMIR 215 on the point, fresh out of repairs at Symington. 215, the last maroon SD38 on the Missabe property, rarely leaves the yard, so to get it “leading” in a Winter storm was just an extra treat to an already successful day.
We visited the Cabo Verde island Santiago for a tour of one week. One of the nicest places is the beach of the village Tarrafal. Every day fishermen go out in the night and come back in the morning. United manpower is required to get their boats on the shore. Colorful people and colorful boats. Cabo Verde, 2024.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!

Competition is being done with traditional, heavy, wooden boats... Not easy...
In the late afternoon, a fishermen paddles along the far shoreline of Lake Argyle (that's 1 manpower). On the shore where I was standing, my 1995 Corvette convertible with its new engine (dynotuned at 790 horsepower) sat parked in the sunlight. Having grown up on a lake, I consider both forms of transportation to be fun... and found myself wishing I was out on the lake paddling a canoe or kayak, too!
This was shot on Lake Argyle in western Illinois. The recent heavy rains had turned the water muddy and the water level was high.

This is now a historic photo. The higher of the two bridges is the viaduct carrying the old A14 dual carriageway over the station. This was closed early last year when the new A14 was opened and since then it is being gradually demolished. This is a massive task involving specialist equipment and manpower. Excellent videos and images of recent work can be seen on Caledonia2008 pages - www.flickr.com/photos/22519187@N03
The Panama Canal is a man-made 51-mile waterway in the Republic of Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean cutting across the Isthmus of Panama. It is a conduit for maritime trade reducing the time for ships to travel between the two oceans. Print Size 13x19 inches.
Over the years, as more effective equipment has gradually replaced manpower on farms, many smaller farms have been sold off, with the land being taken over by larger farms. This has left the former farmhouses to be sold on the open market and become private residences. I would imagine that is what has happened here, a couple of miles from Creaton in Northamptonshire.
Ces deux personnages sont-ils au chômage ? Seule l'image le dit, et une image, comme un éléphnat, ça trompe énormément....
mAIS BON; oK il y a 350 000 offres d'emploi ( a priori, il faudrait plus raisonnablement diviser le chiffre par 2) non pourvues. Mais doit-on taper sur les chômeurs quand ils sont 3 MILLIONS ? Et c'est sans compteer le halo du chômage et tout le reste, bref.
Il est grand temps de repenser le travail.
The turntable at Quorn being used to turn Ivatt 2MT 46251 during the 2013 Great Central Winter Gala. It was just a demonstration as a full turn of 360 degrees was made. It took a lot of effort, a previous demo I had been to failed when an attempt to turn "Sir Lamiel" failed.
The turn table at 82F Bath Green Park was manual but with a two man hand crank. The trick for easy turning was getting the loco balanced. It was also essential not to get carried away, as I found out by being thrown after my coat got caught by the handle when turning a 2MT 2-6-2T with fireman Wayne Mayo. Fortunately no harm don apart from wounded pride!
Avon Dam is a curved dam; it is 237 feet (72 m) tall, 732 feet (223 m) long and holds 146,700 ML (3.23×1010 imp gal; 3.88×1010 US gal). It has the largest capacity of all the dams in the Scheme. Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1927. The dam construction and materials are the same as Cordeaux. All materials for construction were transported from Bargo railway station on a specially built road, all the other dams in the scheme used rail transport. There were some light tramways constructed at the dam site, however it would appear that no locomotives were employed; skips and other items being moved by winch, horse or manpower.

A couple rides a cycle rickshaw on the streets of Dhaka. Cycle rickshaws are by far the predominant mode of transportation in Bangladesh, especially for short distances. It's estimated that the country has over a million of these human powered rickshaws, far outnumbering the 50K or so of the auto rickshaws (pictured on the left). Dhaka alone, with a population of about 24 million people is estimated to have half a million cycle rickshaws. In India, the reverse is true - there are far more auto rickshaws (tuk tuks) than there are cycle rickshaws.
