The Molen van Bels is a watermill in Mander (municipality of Tubbergen), about one kilometre outside Vasse. This upper mill on the Mosbeek was built in 1725 as a paper mill. Hendrik Meyer was the first papermaker. When the paper mill became less and less profitable, widow Meyer had a new water mill built on the other bank of the Mosbeek after 1845. She used this for grinding chicory, which was used as a coffee substitute. In 1860 this mill was converted into a corn mill. The mill pond was built in 1874. In 1916 Jannes Bels bought the mills. Landschap Overijssel has been the owner since 1958. On the site of the old paper mill, Theeschenkerij Watermolen Bels came into existence in 1962. In an annex there is an exhibition about mills in Overijssel.

Nature awaits him with her infinite variety; the discovery of distant lands, or opportunities no less Important or desired for, which may be just around the corner. Enjoyable walks await him, stimulating journeys; the priceless satisfaction whatever may be the outcomes of his photography, of a day well spent.

Should we stay or should we go?
Elephant numbers have dropped by 62% over the last decade, and they could be mostly extinct by the end of the next decade. An estimated 100 African elephants are killed each day by poachers seeking ivory, meat and body parts, leaving only 400,000 remaining.
An insatiable lust for ivory products in the Asian market makes the illegal ivory trade extremely profitable, and has led to the slaughter of tens of thousands of African elephants. Between 2010 and 2014, the price of ivory in China tripled, driving illicit poaching through the roof. If the elephants are to survive, the demand for ivory must be stopped .
As of 2011, the world is losing more elephants than the population can reproduce, threatening the future of African elephants across the continent. Bull elephants with big tusks are the main targets and their numbers have been diminished to less than half of the females. Female African elephants have tusks and are also killed, which has a terrible effect on the stability of elephant societies, leaving an increasing number of orphaned baby elephants.
There are still more African elephants being killed for ivory than are being born . . . elephant populations continue to decline. (worldelephantday.org)
Not a happy day with these statistics ... but have a HBW anyway!

The profitable building in Ruse is an architectural masterpiece built on the project of a distinguished Viennese architect. It is located in the town of Ruse and was built in the period 1898-1902 in neoclassic style. Today the building is a cultural monument and a symbol of Ruse. The purpose of the building is to be a center for cultural events, theater productions, cocktails, conferences, exhibitions and other artistic performances. For the convenience of visitors and guests, there are four halls and five elegant lounges.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, J.P. Bakemakade, Binnenhaven, Vessels (slightly cropped from all sides)
The Binnenhaven was very modern for the time, equipped as it was with steam and hydraulic cranes and coal tips. It was realized by the Rotterdamsche Handelsvereeniging (RHV Lodewijk Pincoffs). At the time, the ports (including the Entrepothaven) were avoided by ships if possible because of the quay dues levied by the RHV (which did not occur in the Dutch ports at the time) and the difficult manoeuvring in and out of the harbour. In 1892, the profitable operation was no longer possible and it was taken over by the municipality of Rotterdam.
Adjacent to the harbour was the infamous Loods (Hall) 24. Nowadays the harbour is partly filled in and used as a berth for yachts and houseboats.
This is number 307 from the Rotterdam Harbour and industry album.

Originally established as an opera house in 1894, the Ritz Theater served as an epicenter of entertainment during the era of vaudeville shows and silent films. Although ownership and management changed over the decades, most of Crockett’s current residents remember the theater under the management of Bill Schulman, who took over operations in the 1980s. Bill’s charismatic personality endeared him to patrons. Nathan Schulman, Bill’s grandson, recalls his grandfather as “…larger-than-life. When he walked into a room, people lit up. He was funny, he was silly, he was cordial. Everybody has a memory of my papaw.” Despite its history and Schulman’s best efforts, a decrease in patronage and profitability led to the theater’s decline. Following Bill’s passing in 2013 and the subsequent death of his wife, Christine, in 2018, the Ritz Theater ceased operations. For a small town like Crockett, it was a disappointing blow. Although there was talk about a possible reopening, structural and cosmetic damage, along with challenging economic factors, made reviving the Ritz a challenge. The building remained vacant and deteriorating, with little hope for restoration, but in December of 2022, an anonymous donor purchased the theater and gifted it to the Piney Woods Fine Arts Association, offering them the opportunity to restore and reopen the historic landmark.

The canal network of the United Kingdom played a vital role in the Industrial Revolution. The canals permitted the creation of wealth, by industry, that led to the British Empire in the Victorian Era. The UK was the first country to develop a nationwide canal network, which expanded to nearly 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometres) in length. The canals allowed raw materials to be transported to a place of manufacture, and finished goods to be transported to consumers, more quickly and cheaply than via a land based route.
In the post-medieval period, some rivers were canalised for boat traffic. The Exeter Ship Canal was completed in 1567. The Sankey Canal was the first British canal of the Industrial Revolution, opening in 1757. The Bridgewater Canal followed in 1761 and proved to be highly profitable. A "Golden Age" of canals occurred between the 1770s and 1830s, during which the majority of the network was built. From 1840 the canals began to decline, because the growing railway network was a more efficient means of transporting goods. From the beginning of the 20th century the road network became progressively more important, canals became uneconomic and were abandoned. Consequently, in 1948, much of the network was nationalised. Since the second half of the 20th century there has been a growing use of the canals for recreation and tourism.
Different types of boat used the canals, the most common being the traditional narrowboat, that were painted in the Roses and Castles design. At the outset the boats were towed by horses and later they were driven by diesel engines. Restoration projects take place to restore closed canals and canal museums have opened. The network built was extensive and included feats of civil engineering such as the Anderton Boat Lift, the Manchester Ship Canal, the Worsley Navigable Levels and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

No, narcolepsy has nothing to do with narcs surreptitiously stalking you and pouncing on you in the middle of a potentially extremely profitable business transaction between dusk and dawn. It is defined as “a condition characterized by an extreme tendency to fall asleep whenever in relaxing surroundings”. Well, apparently, my buddy Terra (short for Pterodactyl – the “a” in Terra signifies female) must have been in somewhat relaxing surroundings. I suspect it may have had something to do with a party-hardy-previous-night-outing. You can tell by the fact she’s still wearing her party outfit and fancy hat to accessorize same. While I was busy fiddling with my camera settings, all of a sudden my girl seemed sound asleep which gave me more time to make adjustments. This feeder is not really designed for her as shown by how the feeder tilts to the right under her weight. How do I know it’s a she? Since that stripe on her cheek (the one extending from the beak) is dark brownish black and not red, it indicates it’s a female. The male’s red hat would also extend to the top of the beak. As you can see the female’s forehead is on the gray side or at least not red. This female sighting is actually another first for me and the camera.
Since she looks somewhat otherworldly in this pose and with this facial expression, she reminds me somewhat of a vampire that could be encountered after dark. For this reason we are featuring After Dark – Tito y Taruntala as interpreted by Salma Hayek in From dusk till dawn.
I had a very profitable day yesterday finding two pairs of Ray Ban sunglasses on my hike. Sure hope it wasn’t the same person who lost their sunglasses AND their backup sunglasses 😆
Peterborough's 17th Century Guidhall anchors one end of Cathedral Square, behind it the early 16th Century perpendicular gem that is St John the Baptist, the city's parish church. This square used to hold an ugly but profitable office building, home to one of the UK's largest insurance firms. The decision by Peterborough City Council to demolish it to create a city square between the Cathedral and the Guildhall is one of the bravest town planning decisions of 21st Century Britain.

With global warming and cycles of a lot of rain and drought this method of farming may become more sustainable and profitable than big flat fields with a lot of tiling to drain water and lots of chemicals.
At one time, this was probably a healthy and profitable commercial fishing operation on the shores of Lake Superior near Paradise, Michigan. Because fish populations in the lake have been depleted, the business sits in disrepair.

“And so, having collected your mind with you, lead it into the channel of breathing through which air reaches the heart and, together with this inhaled air, force your mind to descend into the heart and to remain there.”
-Nicephorus the Solitary, A Most Profitable Discourse on Sobriety and the Guarding of the Heart, in Writings from the Philokalia on Prayer of the Heart, trans. E. Kadloubovsky and G. Palmer (London: Faber and Faber, 1951), 33.
He was born 30 December 1869 at Swanmore, county of Hampshire, England.
In 1876 he emigrated to Canada with his family and settled on a farm near the hamlet of Egypt, south of Sibbald Point on Lake Simcoe.
Leacock was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto. He completed a degree in modern languages at the University of Toronto in 1891.
Inspired by Thorstein Veblen’s The Theory of the Leisure Class, he enrolled at the University of Chicago, receiving a Ph.D. in political economy and political science under Veblen in 1903.
Concurrently he joined the Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University, Montreal.
In 1906 he published his first and most profitable book: Elements of Political Science, a university textbook. Twenty-seven other books of non-fiction followed.
In 1908 he became head of his department at McGill, helped found the University Club and began developing Old Brewery Bay.
The first of his thirty-five books of humour, Literary Lapses was published in 1910. Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town followed in 1912 and in 1914 Arcadian Adventures of the Idle Rich.
Leacock was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1919 and in 1921 made an extensive lecture tour of the United Kingdom. In 1935 he received the Mark Twain Medal. He retired from McGill in 1936.
Stephen Butler Leacock died 28 March 1944 at Toronto from throat cancer and was buried, across the lake from Old Brewery Bay, in the Leacock family plot at St. George’s Church, Sibbald Point.
A pair of Sandersville RR jobs are hard at work shuttling various South Georgia commodities around adjacent to the railroad's yard in Tennille, GA on a warm fall morning. The railroad's nickname, "The Kaolin Road", tells you exactly what commodity rules this shortline and has made this venture extremely profitable for many decades.

After a shaky start(we had an inch of snow on the ground April 16th),summer arrived early and the crops have gotten off to a great start. Knee high by the 4th of July has become knee high by the 4th of June in some areas. Prices have rebounded somewhat, so there is some "tempered" optimism out there.The main cloud is the possibility of foreign tariffs in response to our Presidents steel tariffs. With that being resolved and continued good weather, could 2018 be a return to farm profitability? I'll let you know in November.....
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

Het hoogovencomplex werd in 1902 door de "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort" gebouwd, en werd later overgenomen door de Thyssen-groep. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog raakte het zwaar beschadigd, maar het werd in de jaren 50 weer opgebouwd. In 1985 waren de hoogovens van het complex te klein geworden om nog rendabel te zijn, en werd het complex gesloten. Tussen 1991 en 2002 werd het terrein als openbaar park ingericht.
The blast furnace complex was built in 1902 by the "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort" and was later taken over by the Thyssen group. During the Second World War it was badly damaged, but it was rebuilt in the 1950s. In 1985 the blast furnaces of the complex had become too small to be profitable, and the complex was closed. Between 1991 and 2002 the site was designed as a public park.

A view of the former rice fields along the Ashley River of the Magnolia Plantation. Rice was a major crop during the mid 1700's to 1800's in this area of South Carolina. Slaves were used to sew and harvest this labor intensive crop and when slavery ended, so did large scale production. Also growing competition from overseas countries made US rice production less profitable. Rice hasn't been grown in scale in this area for over 100 years....

The prototype is seen here wearing the livery that it was given after Bombardier changed the DHC-8-400's brand name from "Dash 8 Series 400" to "Q400".
The registration was a nod to Jackson "Jock" Aitken, who had been a DHC flight test engineer for 34 years and had passed away seven months prior to this aircraft's first flight.

A large amount of my time last spring was spent documenting the last days of the iconic Kansas City Southern before their merger with Canadian Pacific. As per the usual pattern in the industry, one company does the hard work of creating a profitable rail network with character and a unique footprint in its operating region, all for someone else to swoop in and pirate that success as their own. I wasn't around the see the great success stories like the Santa Fe and Wisconsin Central, but I played the cards I was dealt and documented what became arguably my favorite railroad of all time until its literal final moments.
I found myself with flashes deployed on the banks of the creek at Butler Bluff as the clock struck midnight on KCS's last day (or night I should say), exactly one year ago. In an almost prophetic fashion, the final train I photographed that night was this GKCIHI13 led by one of the last new locomotives ever delivered to the railroad. Dawn would bring immediate change as every KCS marking in sight was arrogantly replaced with classless modern CPKC lettering while company executives and politicians gathered in Kansas City to essentially put the nail in the coffin of this treasured railroad.
In the time since then, inevitable feelings of regret have set in when thinking about how much more I could have done. Railroad photography is so much more than simply taking photos of cool trains. To me, it's the task of documenting the entire image of a railroad to tell a story about its history, the many towns its right of way passes through, and the skilled union men in every craft from carmen to train dispatchers that spend long days and nights away from their families to ensure the freight moves. The KCS changed my entire perspective on railroad photography. Take photos of signs, depots, and every other aspect possible of your favorite railroad because change happens fast, and as they say, ETTS.

Saint Petersburg formerly known as Petrograd (1914–1924), then Leningrad (1924–1991), is a city situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. It is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow. With over 5.3 million inhabitants as of 2018, it is the fourth-most populous city in Europe, as well as being the northernmost city with over one million people. An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
In modern times, Saint Petersburg is considered the Northern Capital and serves as a home to some federal government bodies such as the Constitutional Court of Russia and the Heraldic Council of the President of the Russian Federation. It is also a seat for the National Library of Russia and a planned location for the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so it's also referred to as Russia's Culture Capital. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.

When the nation's largest class I railroad saw the former Northern Pacific mainline across Montana as northing more than a surplus asset and operational headache, Montana Rail Link rose to the challenge of turning one of the most treacherous stretches of mountain railroading in North America into a very profitable and well run business, nearly becoming a class I carrier itself in the process. It was a company which provided exceptional and consistent customer service, helping businesses across the state of Montana grow and prosper. It was the livelihood of a dedicated group of professionals who took pride in their work because they performed service for a company that saw them as more than a six digit PIN number. MRL set a shining example of everything railroading should be for the rest of the industry to follow. But alas, instead of mirroring the example set for them, the largest corporate railroad conglomerate in America has chosen to take back what they once saw as worthless and destroy all of the great relationships with customers and employees that were built over the last 37 years.
While looking through images I've made of Montana Rail Link over the past six years or so, I really struggled to find a single one that would be fitting to post on a day like today, and one that portrayed what the railroad meant to me. I finally settled on this frame, captured in July 2018 of a neat sign which greeted MRL crews as they knocked down the absolute signal at Tobin on their approach to Helena Yard. While the sights and sounds of second generation EMD locomotives were certainly the draw for many, including myself, it's the little details like this that gave this railroad so much character. Today, the searchlights, sign, and railroad are all gone. I could say they fell in the name of progress, but I think MRL's employees, who are now the latest victims of BNSF mismanagement would say this is quite the opposite.
