Its 45 mins after sun up and the sun rays are shinning on the Siemens wind turbine manufacturing plant on the Alexandra Dock Hull.
Siemens have invested £160 million on the plant, from there the turbines are loaded on special ships and transported out to the wind farms being built in the North Sea.
The shot is taken from the viewing area at Barton upon Humber.
The heritage of Ibi, a manufacturing town in the mountainous interior of Alicante province, eastern Spain.
The reality according the online -information:
a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.There are seven colours in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Manufactured in 1943 as a SNB-1 for the US Navy, Bu39796. Converted to PAC Tradewind tri-gear configuration in 1964 by Airborne Electronics at Memphis, TN.
On the Baker College campus in Allen Park Michigan is this sculpture which I believe pays homage to engineering and manufacturing. With the exception of the legs (which are made from tree limbs) this fine looking animal is constructed out of everything form hubcaps, tractor seats, snow shovels to fifty five gallon drums. It stands about ten feet tall.

Its main difference from Moskva-4 is added selftimer.
Earlier models of the Moskva were copies of the Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta C. Unlike earlier models, this model is a Zeiss Super Ikonta adapted form, rather than a clone and unlike the Super Ikonta, its solid top plate has a built-in rangefinder and a dual-format viewfinder.
Moskva-5 is the latest model in a series of cameras Moskva brand. Main difference from Moskva-4 is added self timer.
The Moskva-5 was undoubtedly designed as an expensive professional camera, and not as an amateur model. It was built in an age (1956–1960) when 35mm photography was already suppressing 120-film, and only professionals still insisted on using the larger format. Its dual-format characteristics, rangefinder and excellent lens and finish indicate professional use also. Apparently these cameras were used until very late (the 1980's?) by Moscow street photographers. More info:
It would appear that the American Manufacturing Bldg was lost for good today in the biggest alarm fire in the last 10years not including 9/11. Apparently the neighborhood were fighting the developers as they tried to declare it a Historic National Landmark. Coincidence or not, the owner of the property had previously in 2003 been investigated for arson on another piece of land in dumbo which went down in similiar fashion.
It is a great loss!
Manufactured in August 1940 by Hawker Aircraft Ltd at Kingston, Hawker Hurricane V7497 is a Mk 1 Hurricane who saw action at the height of the Battle of Britain for only 5 days before being destroyed by enemy action.
Assigned to the 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron at Kenley, in East London on 19th September 1940 she was first flow by Sgt. Sayward on the afternoon of 24th September. This was followed by 5 further sorties over the next 3 days before being shot down by a BF109 on the 28th September over Kent. Her pilot P/O E B Rogers survived by bailing out and parachuting to safety.
Found during an aviation archaeology dig, Hawker Hurricane Mk1 V7497 went to Hawker Restorations for a in-depth restoration which completed on 31 August 2018 and is now based at IWM Duxford.
The American Tobacco Company manufactured Lucky Strike cigarettes--still does, I guess. This water tower now looks down on the plaza made by the company in downtown Durham, NC. I remember my mother's fondness for this brand. More on the history of Lucky Strikes can be found here.
J'aurais bien aimé l'appeler "le complot des plots" mais je l'ai trouvé peut-être trop sibyllin !
Bref. Après un petit post-traitement en N&B partiel, voici que notre plot et notre chantier, rue aux Sieurs, semblent tout de suite... Presque photogéniques !

Swine flu from Mexico, news of manufacturing plant scandals that made it back to the U.S., SARS 1 pandemic from China, SARS 2 from China, tariffs, a trade war turning into a cold war, the worldwide Covid pandemic from Wuhan of 2020-2021 that crippled the economy, which nearly shut the company permanently down.
Things are shifting. There are persuasive arguments being discussed among CEOs about hidden long-term costs of manufacturing overseas that do not show up in quarterly and annual financial statements but that bite back hard. Has the equilibrium point and risk shifted so that their company's best financial interest is to bring manufacturing back? That means higher prices. Will those discussions become reality?
Les grues sont à l'œuvre pour remplacer les friches industrielles de la porte d'Aubervilliers par "une manufacture du luxe". Le groupe Chanel installera en 2020 une quinzaine de ses maisons de métiers d’art dans un luxueux bâtiment (architecte Rudy Ricciotti). Pour abriter les ateliers des joailliers, bottiers, plumassiers, chapeliers, etc. le futur bâtiment de 25 000 m 2 sera entouré d'une résille composée de filaments de béton censés rappeler les fibres du tissu.
