During the Industrial Revolution, the heavy industry that mined the coal and used it in foundries and steel mills also turned the air and buildings black. This added to the notion of the Black Country.
In 1862, Elihu Burritt, the American consul in Birmingham, described the region as "black by day and red by night", with the red coming from glowing furnaces. This inspired the use of black and red on the Black Country flag, whose design also reflects the local industries making chains and glassware.
The anchors and chains for the Titanic were manufactured at Netherton in the Black Country.

Sea glass (also called beach glass)
Description
Material: Glass fragments, originally from bottles, jars, windows, or other manufactured items.
Surface: Matte, frosted, slightly pitted texture. This is caused by long-term abrasion and chemical weathering.
Shape: Rounded, softened edges, no sharp corners.
Formation:
Broken glass is tumbled by sand, waves, and currents over many years.
The process smooths edges and creates the characteristic frosted surface.
Time scale: Typically 20–40+ years (sometimes much longer) to reach this finish.
What you have specifically
Mixed-color collection: cobalt blue, aqua, green, yellow, amber, clear/white, red
Texture appears:
Consistently frosted and evenly etched
No sharp edges → indicates fully weathered pieces
Likely a combination of:
Common colors: clear/white, green, brown/amber
Less common/rare: cobalt blue, red, bright yellow (these are typically from specialty glass like medicine bottles, signal lights, or decorative items)
Key visual indicators (confirmed in your image)
Uniform translucency (not transparent like fresh glass)
Soft, organic contours
Slight internal color gradients due to thickness
Occasional tiny pits/abrasion marks
The Model 770 Amphicar (seen on the left side of the photograph above) was named after its ability to achieve speeds of seven knots in the water and 70 mph on land. 3,878 Amphicars were manufactured in Germany from 1961 to 1968. During that time 3,046 were imported into the United States. The Amphicar is rear-engined and uses a 4-cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43 hp. All Amphicars are convertibles, offered to civillians in four colors; Beach White, Regatta Red, Lagoon Blue, and Fjord Green (Aqua). Two American Presidents owned Amphicars; Jimmy Carter and Lyndon B. Johnson. President Johnson would invite friends and even foreign dignitaries to his Texas ranch for a joyride in his car.
Today, the Boathouse Orlando at Disney Springs is the only place in the world that offers the unforgettable & thrilling experience of a Captain’s Guided Tour in a vintage Amphicar. These rare cars drive on land and enter the water with a splash, taking you on a Captain Guided, 25-minute tour of the landmarks of Disney Springs. Their fleet of Amphicars were purchased from private collections worldwide – and less than 400 exist worldwide today.

J'avais déjà posté cette photo mais le post-traitement que j'y avais effectué ne me convenais pas.
Je voulais y illustrer les difficultés de la vie locale; où des personnes travaillent à même le sol quelque soit leur âge.

L’usine de trois étages Partagas a été construite dans le centre de La Havane en 1845.Les 200 ouvriers rouleurs de l’usine Partagas, la plus grande production à l’exportation, tournent 5 millions de cigares par an.Il a été estimé qu’un havane fait main passe par pas moins de 222 différents stades du semis au produit fini avant d’être prêt pour la commercialisation. Les rouleurs de cigares travaillent dans de grandes salles Chaque rouleur est chargé de l’élaboration du cigare depuis l’étape de tassement jusqu’à ce qu’il soit finalement coupé à la bonne taille. La combinaison pré-mélangée de feuilles de remplissage et de sous cape est préparée à l’avance par chaque rouleur et est pressée dans des moules en bois de la taille appropriée. les rouleurs de cigares sont assis sur un banc, un peu comme les anciens bancs d’’école, et chaque rouleur commence avec un quota de remplissage adaptée à la taille et la marque de cigare qui est fait ce jour-là.Il y a 42 tailles de cigares faits à la main aujourd’hui et un bon fabricant de cigares peut généralement rouler environ 120 cigares de taille moyenne la moyenne pour un cigare de la taille Montecristo A est de seulement 56 cigares par jour.

While in Arizona, I had the opportunity to visit the DaDee Manufacturing facility. I met Refuse Arizona the week before at Waste Expo and we were able to arrange a tour at the DaDee Manufacturing facility. On my way to their facility I saw The Scorpion FE Mack LR from Waste Expo pull into the Mack dealership in Phoenix, it was neat seeing that truck twice in one week in two different states. Once I arrived at DaDee Manufacturing Refuse Arizona gave me a tour that started at prefabrication and went all the way to final assembly. I had a great time learning more about the DaDee products and seeing them in person.
Big thank you to everyone at DaDee Manufacturing, they are truly an innovative company with products of the highest quality. And a special thank you to Refuse Arizona for the amazing tour, it was an honor meeting you and Waste Expo and talking about the Waste Industry.
