I saw this old guy while driving around La Grange, Texas. It's the very first jail house build in the town. Now it's being used as the City of La Grange Visitor’s Bureau and office space for the La Grange Area Chamber of Commerce. In the mid-1930’s, two members of the infamous Bonne and Clyde gang, Raymond Hamilton and Gene O’ Dare were held here for robbing the Carmine Bank.
Here's more info:
Fayette County opened its first jail in July, 1838. The cost of the first structure was $460. It was a primitive structure; prisoners were ironed and chained but within 10 years the building was sold. With no jail, prisoners were parceled out to various citizens for safekeeping. The plan worked until a murderer’s apprehension made arrangements for his incarceration in another town necessary.
In 1852, plans were finalized for a new jail that was in use by 1854. This jail was built by German immigrant Heinrich Kreishe, who was a stone mason by trade when he immigrated. You can see his work still at the Monument Hill/ Kreishe Brewery State Park.
By the early 1880’s, the need for a more modern and larger jail was evident and work began on the structure we now call the Old Jail. In November 1881, the county commissioners selected the Victorian Gothic design of Andrewarthe & Wahrenberger as the new look. The building was opened in 1883.
“My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.”

Rickety old Minnesota DNR Dock at the Little John Lake Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Entry Point. Little John is located across the road from McFarland Lake at the end of the Arrowhead Trail.
The Arrowhead Trail runs from Lake Superior at Hovland, Minnesota for about 18 miles into Grand Portage State Forest and the Superior National Forest.

Some studies of monotypes to improve my skills. Sorry for the bad lighting, but the size (A3) was too big for the scanner. So I shot the works very primitively. My bad.

This pretty female pigeon horntail is another amazing "stingless" wasp.She sure does look intimidating though since she's about two inches long and has what appears to be a large dagger sticking out the end of her abdomen. She actually uses that dagger, or ovipositor, to drill a hole into dying or dead hardwood trees and then deposit an egg in the hole. She adds a wood-rotting fungus with the egg so her larva can eat the surrounding rotting wood plus the growing fungus when it hatches. The pigeon horntail larva can live inside the dead tree for up to three years before pupating and emerging now in late summer as a new adult. Adults like this one only consume flower nectar or tree sap. These primitive wasps do no damage to healthy trees and are an important cog in the forest's ecology.
Bognanco. Italy
The wild high valley of Rio Bognanco, along the trail to Pontimia pass. The snow covered mountains at the horizon are the summits of the range of Pizzo Montalto, 2.704m(8,890ft).
This shot has been taken at an elevation of about 2.200m (7,300ft).
This is near the border with Switzerland, an old trail used by smugglers for more than one hundred years. I walked almost three hours to get here. I met no other human being, just a chamois, a couple of marmots, the rain and, last but not the least, some rays of sun.
I liked the original jpeg, but I loved this shot, so I spent a few minutes in the free version of CaptureOne for Sony cameras, and edited the raw image. Just added a bit of local contrast and pushed up the right of the histogram; for the rest it is the standard conversion style of the software, that is very neutral.

This desert spiny lizard caught many people's attention at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. To guess, I'd say he was about 10 inches (~25cm) from nose to tip of tail. Noticeable. I love the colors some of them get on the belly.

SLOWLY TO MAKE COMMENTS MY FRIEND!! SORRY!!!!II ´M BUSY
The return leg of our day hike in Devil's Garden is more rugged and less populated than the "formal" trail. One must scramble up smooth sandstone walls, over logs, through deep sand and narrow places. This route offers a lot of variety for exploring and photography. I have hiked this trail from both directions and each has its merit. Do it, if you get the chance!
Set in the narrow strait between Penmon Point and Ynys Seiriol (Puffin Island), the tower marks the north entrance to the Menai Strait and the passage between the two islands. It was built between 1835-38. Walker pioneered the use of a primitive sort of water-closet by providing a specially designed drain leading out at the base of the tower. A depiction on an historic chart dating to 1839 noted that it showed a red light at 61ft and that the fog warning was a bell. On the opposite side of the channel was a perch. The tower has been unmanned for many years. The continuous light at Trwyn-du is now checked from the Holyhead Control Centre and was converted to solar power in 1993.
This small wooden flag hangs from a latch, on a shutter, on the Dowling House...Galena's oldest house built in 1826.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
Today's forms of money have developed from primitive money, e.g. B. mussels or rice, which were accepted as a means of exchange in business life. Money initially belonged to the cultic and legal sphere and referred to "that with which one can repay or pay penance and sacrifices". Only after the 14th century did it assume its current meaning as a "coined currency". From the middle of the 19th century, the gold standard existed in many countries, promising the exchange of legal tender (coins, banknotes) for a fixed amount of gold. By the 1930s almost all major states had abandoned the gold standard. Instead of such a standard, monetary policy measures were taken by the central banks to ensure price stability.
Partial excerpt from: (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geld#Etymologie)
Geld, auch benannt als:
Cash (englisch für „Bargeld“)
Kies (jiddisch kis, „Geldbeutel“)
Mäuse (jiddisch meus, „Geld“)
Moneten (lateinisch moneta, „Münze“; vgl. engl. money)
Moos (jiddisch und rotwelsch moos, mous (Plural), „Geld“)
Penunze (berlinisch Penunse, von polnisch pieniądze, aus dem Westgermanischen, verwandt mit althochdeutsch pfenning)
Zaster (rotwelsch saster, „Eisen“)
Kohle
Asche
Pulver (gemeint ist Zündpulver; vgl. sein Geld verpulvern, veraltet: verzünden)
Kröten, Mücken
Entwickelt haben sich die heutigen Geldformen aus Primitivgeld, z. B. Muscheln oder Reis, die im Geschäftsleben als Tauschmittel akzeptiert wurden. Geld gehörte anfangs zur kultischen und rechtlichen Sphäre und bezeichnete „das, womit man Buße und Opfer erstatten bzw. entrichten kann“. Erst nach dem 14. Jahrhundert nahm es seine aktuelle Bedeutung als „geprägtes Zahlungsmittel“ an. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts existierte in vielen Ländern der Goldstandard, bei dem der Umtausch von gesetzlichen Zahlungsmitteln (Münzen, Banknoten) in eine feststehende Menge Gold versprochen wurde. Um 1930 haben fast alle größeren Staaten den Goldstandard aufgegeben. An die Stelle eines solchen Standards traten geldpolitische Maßnahmen der Notenbanken, die eine Preisniveaustabilität sicherstellen sollten.

There's a primitive structure perched atop one of the peaks we hiked today. Taken for Studio 26 Architecture assignment. I chose this for my final submission as I actually managed to have Jasper in the shot where he looked like a reasonably integral part of the composition.
Photographed the Arrestra (Primitive Mill) at the Porcupine Historical Park located in the Town of Porcupine in the Township of Whitney in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
This Arrestra was found near the old Buffalo-Ankerite Mine site and moved to the park in the 1950's.
An arrastra (or arastra) is a primitive mill for grinding and pulverizing (typically) gold or silver ore. Its simplest form is two or more flat-bottomed drag stones placed in a circular pit paved with flat stones, and connected to a center post by a long arm. With a horse, mule or human providing power at the other end of the arm, the stones were dragged slowly around in a circle, crushing the ore. Some arrastras were powered by a water wheel; a few were powered by steam or gasoline engines, and even electricity
