A cool spring evening after a warm day has everyone thinking about cars. Joe (Yo-Yo) Helmer fuels up his new 1969 Shelby GT350. The gas station is known locally as the Powder Puff. It catered mainly to female travelers and included a powder room. It was supplied by Dixie Oil (Dixie Gas, The Power to Pass). The station has been gone for too many decades and in its prime included a service building, six small rental cabins and a miniature golf course. The mini Puff was built from the original blueprints supplied from an architectural firm in Green Bay, Wi and the help of Robert Leberak who's father was a coowner for many years.
Built in 1886 for the storage of gunpowder used in blasting for the construction of the Long Pier and the New Harbour at Seahouses.

And so it begins. I started my winter job as a marketing photographer at Alta Ski Area on Saturday. This is my tenth season taking pictures there. We had a solid first weekend with 6 inches of fresh snow overnight for a nice warm-up powder day on Sunday. I took this of my colleague Adam on our first run, Sunday morning. I hope you like ski and snow photos because for the next few months that's what I'm going to be sharing.

The Powder Mills were built in 1844, a factory for making gunpowder which was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor. The buildings were widely spaced from one another for safety and the mechanical power for grinding ("incorporating") the powder was derived from waterwheels driven by a leat.
Now known as "Powdermills" or "Powder Mills", there are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built incorporating mills with central waterwheels survive well: they were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards. The ruins of a number of ancillary buildings also survive. A proving mortar—a type of small cannon used to gauge the strength of the gunpowder—used by the factory still lies by the side of the road.

Loads for the Alabama Power Company are heading north (RR W/B) to connect with the Black Hills Sub. There they will turn east towards Crawford Hill enroute to the deep south.
Have a great week everyone.

Our visit to the Hagley Museum put us in the middle of gunpowder history. In 1802 Dupont he sited and began building the mill along the Brandywine River near Wilmington. Brandywine River Powder Mills produced its first gunpowder in 1803. Started as a large-scale, sophisticated manufactory, Brandywine maintained operations for 119 years. The Brandywine River Powder Mills performed shell loading and some smokeless nitrations during World War I. On this property there are 8 rolling mills water wheel & water turbine in different degrees of decay. Brandywine Creek on one side and a man-made water sloth on the other side of the mills kept the powder yard safe from the risk of explosion.

UP 8024 brought more than a heavy hauler through Yuba Gap, it brought the weather with it. Once the train arrived, the light flakes of powder soon turned into fat snowflakes. Enough to coat the ballast, and enough to bring out the chain law on Interstate 80.

I had the pleasure this afternoon of meeting up with one of my Flickr contacts whose work I greatly admire. Steve (aka Maxxsmart) and I met at the old California Powder Works factory in Hercules where they used to produce dynamite during the gold rush days. We decided to meet in the afternoon to do a little long exposure work. There are a ton of different options at this place, but it also gets a bit hard to isolate an image due to all the stuff that's laying around. I decided to focus most of my attention on this old pier.
Steve, thanks for all your inspirational work! This one's for you my friend.
