In the deep of winter, sometimes it is difficult to shoot photos of nature against a series of extreme weather warnings. But nature can be invited indoors through our lenses and integrated with potted plants. This photo made use of Nikon D850's multiple exposure function and consists of 3 images, 2 outside and one indoors.

Bliss Tweed Mill is a former mill for the manufacture of tweed. It is located on the edge of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. It became a Grade II* listed building in 1980.[1]
The mill was built in 1872 for cloth manufacturer William Bliss, to make fine tweed cloth from locally produced wool. It was designed by the architect George Woodhouse of Bolton, who also designed mills in Lancashire, including Victoria Mill in Miles Platting; Woodhouse was also involved in the construction of Bolton Town Hall.
The main 5-storey spinning building is faced with local limestone and styled to resemble a country house, with square towers at each corner topped by stone urns. Unusually, a large chimney for the furnace to power the mill's steam machinery issues from a dome at the top of a circular tower built into one façade. The chimneystack is styled as a tall Tuscan column. Inside, the building is supported by cast iron columns that carry beams bearing brick vaults. An adjacent lower building was used for weaving the tweed cloth.
The millworkers went on strike for eight months from December 1913 to June 1914, over the right of workers to join a trades union, but the mill prospered in the First World War after receiving a large order for khaki cloth for the British Army.
The mill closed in 1980 and was converted into residential apartments in around 1988.
Bliss Tweed Mill
es un molino/factoria antiguo para la fabricación de textiles. Se encuentra en las afueras de Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, Reino Unido. Se convirtió en un edificio catalogado de Grado II en 1980.
El molino fue construido en 1872 para el fabricante de tejidos William Bliss, que fabricaba tejidos finos de tweed a partir de lana producida localmente. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto George Woodhouse de Bolton, quien también diseñó molinos/factorias en Lancashire, incluido Victoria Mill en Miles Platting; Woodhouse también participó en la construcción del ayuntamiento de Bolton.
El edificio principal de 5 pisos está revestido con piedra caliza local y diseñado para parecerse a una casa de campo, con torres cuadradas en cada esquina coronadas por urnas de piedra. Inusualmente, una gran chimenea para el horno que alimenta la maquinaria de vapor del molino sale de una cúpula en la parte superior de una torre circular construida en una fachada. La chimenea tiene el estilo de una columna toscana alta. En el interior, el edificio se sostiene sobre columnas de hierro fundido sostenido por vigas que sostienen bóvedas de ladrillo. Se utilizó un edificio inferior adyacente para tejer el tejido de tweed.
Los trabajadores de la fábrica se declararon en huelga durante ocho meses, desde diciembre de 1913 hasta junio de 1914, luchaban por su derecho a afiliarse a un sindicato, pero la fábrica prosperó durante la Primera Guerra Mundial después de recibir un gran pedido de tejido caqui para el ejército británico.
El molino cerró en 1980 y se convirtió en apartamentos residenciales alrededor de 1988.

The Volkswagen Beetle is a two-door, four passenger, rear-engine economy car manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.
The need for this kind of car, and its functional objectives, was formulated by the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple car to be mass-produced for his country's new road network. Hitler contracted Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and build it. Porsche and his team took until 1938 to finalise the design.
The result was one of the first rear-engined cars since the Brass Era. With 21,529,464 produced, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single platform ever made.

Here is something I do the electrical design for at work. I'd just finished testing. The HDR processing fits a factory and steel very well.

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!
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?
Interior view of the The F. E. Myers Pump Works in Ashland, Ohio. This company was founded in the 1870's. They were so successful in the manufacturing of water pumps they built this building in 1885. This building also housed the Hess & Clark Factory which sold veterinarian supplies in 1893. This place was huge with many interior rooms and open floor space of nearly 400,000 square feet. Most of the interior was dimly lit due to the wood coverings on the windows.
