Shot in August 1969 with a Pentax S1a on a trip to Zanzibar while working in Tanzania. Forgotten photos that bring back pleasant memories. Scanned on a Nikon Coolscan 8000 with small Photoshop "fixes."
I lacked inspiration for this list item but saw these men at work on a local roof yesterday. Not the best of photos but it's another one ticked off.

In 1955, the specialized machines were scarce. Here, the old road is removed with a long crowbar, wielded by five men!

En 1955, les engins de travaux publics étaient rares. Ici, l'ancienne chaussée est défoncée avec une longue barre à mine, maniée par cinq hommes !

"Je quitte la ville par la Route de Tolède. La chaussée est en réfection. Les rails du tramway restent en place pour assurer le trafic des voyageurs. La route est en pente douce. Un groupe de cinq terrassiers s’acharne à extraire une grosse plaque de ciment. Quatre sont en équilibre sur une barre à mine et font levier pour soulever le bloc, le cinquième les retient du mieux qu’il peut … Ce cliché, car la scène est décrite à partir d’une photo, illustre la précarité des travaux publics avant l’avènement des engins motorisés.

This is the second in a series of Men at Work. Those geometric lines are captivating to me and although this papercut is so time consuming----I still have to find the time to do it. I hope you like it.
Well he might not be.
I was on my way to try and catch a fabulous dawn (it didn't happen) for my Secret South London series when crossing a rail line I came as close to manly industry as I'm ever likely to. A massive signal gantry was going to be lowered on to a low loader train and these men where doing some sort of preparation work to the rails.

Truck Thursday
The Hydro workers are replacing a pole. I must agree with Cindy below, the poles do look like they aren't in great shape!
inspired by the works of Lewis H. Hine, dedicated to all those people who do their job with pride, dignity, and skill. They are in control of the giant machines they use or the colors they wear, at home in space, not dwarfed by their constructions.
SÃ, las vacaciones se han acabado, ahora toca trabajar duro para ganarse las siguientes... 💪

I was not alone this time at Osmania Landscape Garden. Two Flickr buddies came along with me, Prashanth(PNike) and Swath Ghosh. Though this pic is not from the garden, I enjoyed the trip along with them to Dhobi Ghat and hope to meet them again for going on subsequent photo shoots.
