I walk my dog in the park at least 3 times a week and this path is on the way out...I've never noticed this bolt in the tarmac before going on my photo walk...and oddly enough, the nut that goes with it is embedded in the path 20 metres away!! Don't look down...not anymore!
Tracks next to our house, no trains running for decades. We cross them on our walks, so I see them almost daily. When the theme fastener was announced I immediately thought of these weather worn bolts.
Excerpt from the Information Board:
The nuts look like it is impossible to pull a straight pole through them.

Happened to find a bag of nuts and bolts in the pantry. I have no idea where they come from, although when I look around our apartment at the number of IKEA type furniture I can only hope that they're legitimate 'extras'.
Taken with a Raynox Macro adaptor for extra magnification.
Smile on Saturday: "Nuts and Bolts"
A few nuts and bolts that auto assembled into a flying vee. OK, I assembled them. I haven't gone around the bend just yet!

The AGCM was running a special event last Sunday where the winding engine was going to be operational, albeit under diesel and compressed air power for an hour.
Iβd remembered this part of the engine from a previous visit and wondered what it would look like when running. Unfortunately, itβs right opposite the entrance door, so setting up a tripod in the doorway was a big no-no in this social distancing era! Luckily after the initial crowd had dispersed to enjoy the tea and cake in the sunshine, I chanced my arm.
Just in case youβre all wondering about the title, it has nothing to do with gangsters, more about the action of the mechanism.
The theme for βSmile on Saturdayβ is βnuts and boltsβ, which I despaired of when I read it, as I am not the handiest person in the entire world.
Then I remembered that one of my Great Grandmother's silver tea services that I have inherited has a removable finial, affixed with a wingnut and a bolt! Thus my submission for "Smile on Saturday".
Why was the teapot finial affixed with a wingnut and bolt, I hear you ask? Unfortunately my Great Grandmother's maids and cook are no longer alive to ask, but I imagine it was to stop an ugly build up of silver paste around the base of the final on the top of the teapot: something both my Great Grandmother and Grandmother disliked intensely! I don't have a maid to clean my silver, and I do it myself and that's the reason I am grateful it unscrews. It's much easier to clean and leaves the top of the teapot perfectly clean!

Polite text translation. "I said get a nut to fit the bolt, you seem to have made an unfortunate mistake!"
