A new occasional series I am thinking about based on a day out. This is part of a set from my day out at the Birmingham NEC for a manufacturing trade fair with my designer daughter.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Tung_Street:
Lee Tung Street (利東街), known as the Wedding Card Street (喜帖街; 囍帖街) by locals, is a street in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The street was famed in Hong Kong and abroad as a centre for publishing and for the manufacturing of wedding cards and other similar items.
As part of an Urban Renewal Authority (URA) project, all interests of Lee Tung Street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong since 1 November 2005, and subsequently demolished in December 2007. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.
The site was redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. As with all other URA projects, no original tenants have been resettled on site.
After the development, only small part of next to QRE Plaza is official there. The rest of street, rebuilt and rebranded as Lee Tung Avenue, is a pedestrian street open for public in the high-rise housing estate The Avenue.
The street was known for its printing industry, and Wan Chai was a longtime host of the headquarters of the Hong Kong Times, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po. In the 1950s, print shops began to gather in Lee Tung Street between Johnston Road and Queen's Road East. Rumours had it that the government of Hong Kong mandated this in order to easily monitor illegal publication.
The poet and translator Dai Wangshu also established a short-lived bookstore in Lee Tung Street in the early 1950s.
In the 1970s, the print shops also began producing wedding invitations, lai see, fai chun, and other items, for which they became famous in the 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people visited the shops there to order their wedding cards, name cards, and traditional Chinese calendars.

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 !
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.

A friend of mine bought this the other day, it's a Volkswagen Citi Golf, manufactured for the South African market where it was so popular it remained in production until 2009.
Although it retains most of the looks of the original mk1 Golf, it has a modern interior and a few tweaks on the outside too, plus a 1.4 fuel injected engine.
