Taxco is located in the north-central part of the state, 135 kilometres from the state capital of Chilpancingo and 170 kilometres southwest of Mexico City.
It is a small but charming “Magical Town” nestled in an area surrounded by great hills and mountains, thanks to the intense exploitation of its silver deposits. Its people still live from the commerce and manufacture of objects that the precious metal allows; the baroque constructions raised during the mining boom of the Colony are still preserved.
Any terrace is good to contemplate those jewels of the past, the new and small must be sought among the cobbled streets that go up and down everywhere. In addition, Taxco has a peculiar beauty, because this magnificent Magical Town has the ability to transport us to another time and space, just to the time of colonial Mexico.
actually this is just a word play, since the plate is from the series Manufacture Rock from Villeroy und Boch.

"X" Class NMR Steam Locomotive, manufactured by Swiss Locomotive & Machine works Switzerland, ran between Mettupalayam and Ooty.
A little farther along the channel we came across this unique looking place. We were informed that it is a "Net Loft". It is a manufacturing facility, and where fishing nets are made.
Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons

L'usine du May est une ancienne usine de coutellerie qui a fermé dans les années 1960
thanks to Joe Heeney, who has authorised me to use this photo of the very same plane in the previous photo...here is the end of this remarkable plane that I believe was manufactured in 1963...eventually airframe corrosion becomes so rampant that it is beyond economic repair ...the death knell has sounded...shortly after this photo was taken, the plane was wheeled into a hangar, and systematically reduced to rubble..an amazing time lapse video taken from a ceiling mounted camera exists showing the complete airframe disappear in about 15 minutes...in real time I think it took about 3 months !!..wish I could see it again..it was heart rending to see it's massacre....some one in Shannon can perhaps direct us??..maybe it is on YouTube..

Such a wonderful sight: a beautiful and very well maintained DC-3 in 2017! Samaritan's Purse DC-3 Turboprop is seen here parked at the cargo terminal, being lit by a beautiful sunset light. A very shiny and clean fuselage shows how nicely this DC-3 is kept. Sure, the PT6 turboprops take away most of the classic feeling, but still is an amazing machine. Manufactured in 1945!

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.
A colour edited Another Place sculptures by Antony Gormley on Crosby Beach, north of Liverpool in Merseyside.
Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The figures, each one weighing 650 kilos, are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.
Having previously been seen in Cuxhaven in Germany, Stavanger in Norway and De Panne in Belgium, 'Another Place' is now a permanent feature in the UK, at Crosby Beach.
According to Antony Gormley, Another Place harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man's relationship with nature. He explains: The seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance. In this work human life is tested against planetary time.
This sculpture exposes to light and time the nakedness of a particular and peculiar body. It is no hero, no ideal, just the industrially reproduced body of a middle-aged man trying to remain standing and trying to breathe, facing a horizon busy with ships moving materials and manufactured things around the planet.

My favorite cookie, a Nabisco Mallomar, is a round graham cracker topped with a sugary sweet marshmallow and covered with hard dark chocolate. They go great with a glass of cold milk! Eighteen to a box, it's hard not to eat all of them at one sitting!
Mallomars are 113 years old, having first been sold in 1913 to a grocery store in New Jersey. The cookies are manufactured in Toronto, Canada, but not available there. Canada has their own similar cookies, Whippets.
95% of Mallomars are sold in the Northeast U.S., and the majority in the NY/NJ/Connecticut tri-state area.
Due to a lack of refrigeration in the early 1900's, Mallomars were only sold from September to March so that the chocolate wouldn't melt on the hot grocery store shelves during the summer months of April-August.
Refrigeration is not a problem today, but Nabisco has decided to keep with Tradition!
And because of that, they have created a cult of cookie epicurians! In order to satisfy their desire to have Mallomars year round, they hoard and freeze boxes to have during the months of November-August.
For some, World problems are secondary to obtaining a box of Mallomars during a summer month.
One such person, Pierre Bernard, the "Recliner of Rage" from a 2004 Conan O'Brien show, put it this way:

Many people guard their Mallomars and protect their boxes by hiding in different places so that family members or friends won't steal a cookie. Consider this scene from "The Sopranos.":

There are many, many ways to eat a Marshmallow, but since this is a Photography site, if you are interested, go to youtube
and search for "How to Eat a Mallomar."

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.

Le Passage du Sphinx est un passage carrelé couvert de 120 mètres de long entre le bâtiment Eiffel et Pathé. Près de 30 000 carreaux font revivre l'histoire du Sphinx de Maastricht à travers des mots, des images et des objets.
Un espace pour le passé
Autour du bâtiment Eiffel, le Sphinxkwartier se développe rapidement pour devenir un quartier urbain moderne et dynamique. La restauration du bâtiment Eiffel est terminée et le Student Hotel occupe une grande partie du bâtiment depuis septembre 2017. Le bâtiment Eiffel continuera de fonctionner en 2018, avec de nouvelles fonctions résidentielles, commerciales et de vente au détail. En attendant, le passé n'est pas perdu de vue : avec l'ouverture du passage du Sphinx, la riche histoire du quartier a également trouvé une place permanente.
Le plus long tableau de carreaux des Pays-Bas
Avec un mélange, entre autres, de portraits de famille, de bâtiments d'usine, de décorations de vaisselle, de vieilles publicités et de cuvettes de toilettes, les tableaux de carreaux racontent l'histoire du Sphinx et de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht en 26 chapitres. Chaque tableau est accompagné d'une histoire de fond (en néerlandais et en anglais), écrite par les historiens Jac van den Boogaard et Paul Arnold. De la fondation de la manufacture du Sphinx par Petrus Regout à sa fermeture en plein centre-ville, le Passage du Sphinx offre aux visiteurs un aperçu unique de l'histoire de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht. Long de 120 mètres, il est le plus long passage couvert de tableaux de faïence des Pays-Bas.
The Sphinx Passage is a 120-meter-long covered tiled passageway between the Eiffel Building and Pathé. Nearly 30,000 tiles bring the history of the Maastricht Sphinx to life through words, images, and objects.
A space for the past
Around the Eiffel Building, the Sphinxkwartier is rapidly developing into a modern and vibrant urban neighborhood. The restoration of the Eiffel Building is complete, and the Student Hotel has occupied a large part of the building since September 2017. The Eiffel Building will continue to operate in 2018, with new residential, commercial, and retail functions. Meanwhile, the past is not lost on us: with the opening of the Sphinx Passage, the neighborhood's rich history has also found a permanent home. The longest tile painting in the Netherlands
Featuring a mix of family portraits, factory buildings, crockery decorations, old advertisements, and toilet bowls, among other things, the tile paintings tell the story of the Sphinx and Maastricht's ceramic industry in 26 chapters. Each painting is accompanied by a background story (in Dutch and English), written by historians Jac van den Boogaard and Paul Arnold. From the founding of the Sphinx factory by Petrus Regout to its closure in the city center, the Sphinx Passage offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Maastricht's ceramic industry. At 120 meters long, it is the longest tile painting passage in the Netherlands.

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?
Shown here is the area behind the Casthouse of Blast Furnace No. 1 at the Warren, Ohio steel mill complex.
Built in 1922 in Warren, Ohio the blast furnace was once the largest in the country. It was also the last standing blast furnace in the Mahoning Valley. The steel mill was founded in 1912 by Trumbull Steel and was once called Trumbull Cliffs. Since then ownership has changed hands many times. In 1929 Republic Steel & Iron took over operations. Then during a J&L Steel (Jones & Laughlin) takeover in 1984, LTV Steel was born. LTV Steel gave way to WCI Steel. The Renco Group bought WCI in 2002 and in 2008 Severstal SA of Russia took over. From this RG Steel formed in 2012. The mill last operated as RG Steel when in 2012 it declared bankruptcy and 1200 steel workers lost their jobs.
This relic is the last remaining piece of the historic Warren, Ohio steelmaking era. It's current demolition will mark the end of steelmaking in the Mahoning Valley.
I was fortunate enough to gain legal access to the site one cold day in March 2017 as demolition equipment was being staged. In October 2017 this beautiful piece of American industrial history is almost gone.
Over the next few months I will be posting numerous photographs from the site.

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.
GMD manufactured locomotives visit each other in Thief River Falls - both Canadian variants of the Electro-Motive family. NPR 5535 is a former Canadian National SD60F that has worked reliably on the Northern Plains Railroad between Thief River Falls and Fordville for a number of years while SD40-2, CP 6043, sports an updated livery on the CPKC Railway roster. It is interesting to compare the nose features on these two locomotives. I am glad to catch them in the same frame.
