Another profitable session at Ian Howells' hide in South Wales. Not just the Sparrowhawk but also this Buzzard, that came very close!
Facts:
Forsmark's mill is a well-preserved Walloon mill dating back to at least the 1570s.
With good access to firewood and running water, the ironworks grew up in the middle of the forest in a part of Sweden.
The workers lived and worked in the limited area around the ironworks, and the mills had to keep up with the labor force and, through schools, healthcare and the like, improved the conditions of the employees. The picture shows the church with smaller houses for workers. The house to the right in the picture was a hospital. In the centrally located house lived foremen and better educated people.
For hundreds of years, Dannemora Mines was one of Sweden's largest financial assets. With the ore from there, the mills in Uppland during the 1600s developed into the country's most profitable industries. The term Walloon mill, which has become the collective name for the mills, comes from the many Walloons who were recruited to Uppland from today's Belgium for their professional skills as a blacksmith. The book Vallonbruk in Uppland lists 32 places as utility environments.

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.

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.
Two Mesh Bears
Zwei Maschenbärchen sitzen einträglich nach getaner Arbeit nebeneinander und erholen sich von ihrer Arbeit.
Seit vielen Jahren im Einsatz haben sie immer einen guten Job geleistet. Sicher fragt Ihr Euch, welchen? Ihr Lebensziel ist; auf Stricknadeln zu sitzen. Wenn die Maschen zu vorwitzig werden und von der Stricknadel in die ersehnte Freiheit tanzen möchten sagen meine beiden Helfer-Bärchen STOP. Ich wünsche Euch eine friedliche gute Woche und... bleibt gesund.

Two mesh bears sit profitably next to each other after their work is done and recover from their work.
For many years they have always done a good job. Surely you are asking yourselves, which one? Their goal in life is; to sit on knitting needles. When the stitches get too cheeky and want to dance off the knitting needle into the longed-for freedom, my two helper bears say STOP. I wish you a peaceful good week and.... stay healthy.

Deux oursons à mailles sont assis côte à côte après avoir terminé leur travail et se reposent de leur tâche.
En service depuis de nombreuses années, ils ont toujours fait du bon travail. Vous vous demandez certainement lequel ? Leur but dans la vie est de s'asseoir sur des aiguilles à tricoter. Lorsque les mailles deviennent trop espiègles et veulent danser de l'aiguille à tricoter vers la liberté tant attendue, mes deux oursons auxiliaires disent STOP. Je vous souhaite une bonne semaine paisible et... restez en bonne santé.

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!

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.

Taken in Wolverley village on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal.
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 😆

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.

With a takeover date finally announced, the former Algoma Central will once again change hands, this time going from CN to Watco. While the line was somewhat profitable in the early years under CN, it faded over the years to nearly nothing except for the Agawa Canyon tourist train. In another sad note, the ACR union could not reach an agreement with Watco and the ACR employees will not be retained and will be forced to relocate on CN, resign from CN, or apply for Watco. Despite the doom and gloom, the line with train moves is an absolute gem to shoot in some absolutely beautiful scenery.
In a more surreal scene that summarizes the current state of the ACR is the only for sure train, the Agawa Canyon train past the sadly forlorn Searchmont Depot. Once a busy stop on the ski train for people traveling to ski at the nearby resort, the depot is pretty much only standing because no one has committed to tearing it down as saving it at this stage is not feasible or financially sensible. While the transition is a painful one for many reasons, here is to hoping Watco can turn things around and make the line a destinantion for more than just the tourist train.

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.....

Apparently March is B-Corp month - so I had to look it up...
Rather than being driven solely by profits, every B Corp has a vision that's grounded in moral and social good. Certified B Corp status is awarded to those businesses that meet very high standards in social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Before the days where profitability took precedent over everything else, speed and service mattered. This hotshot intermodal a prime example, racing west through Shelby, chasing the setting sun about to dip below the Rockies now faintly in sight on a clear evening. Soon enough, it’ll be in the throes of Marias Pass weaving its way through the continental divide on the Hi Line.

Thomas Forester started a small pottery business at the Church Street works, Longton in 1877. His business thrived and in 1879 he knocked down the old potbank which had stood for over 100 years, at the same time purchasing the two adjacent works. He built a large new factory of over 40,000 sq ft. which was completed within two years, naming it the Phoenix Works. In 1881 Forester received the largest order ever for Staffordshire majolica-ware of 8,000 pieces, from the United States. By the end of the century Thos. Forester and Sons Ltd. employed 700 people. When Thomas died in 1907 the business was successfully continued by his descendants until after the Second World War but then majolica-ware fell out of fashion and the Clean Air Act of 1956 prevented the use of the enormous coal fired bottle ovens; without the profitability necessary to convert to electric or gas fired kilns the Company ceased production in 1959. There were originally six (very unusual) downdraught bottle ovens but only these two with their connected chimney remain and are Grade II listed, as is the whole site. In 1961 the Phoenix Works was purchased by the Milner family for their wholesale pottery business and Mark Milner, the latest generation has embarked on a major renovation scheme to provide space to different enterprises. One of which is the excellent Glost House Café where my brother, visiting from Canada and I enjoyed a very good lunch of traditional Staffordshire oatcakes just this week!

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 Aylesbury duck, a breed of domesticated large ducks originates from the early 18th Century. Bred in the town of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England where it became a profitable cottage industry supplying the demands of London’s Markets.
Originally called ‘White English’ until 1815 when they became known as Aylesbury Ducks. The most popular area in Aylesbury where the ducks were reared (and also one of the poorest) became known as ‘Duck End’. The ducks often lived inside the cottages of their owners, which made conditions particularly unsanitary.
The Aylesbury was popular for its meat as a table duck in the capital due to its white carcass. The feathers of the Aylesbury were also used extensively in quilts and bedding.

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.
