This house is about a 100 metres from my home. After much work, they finally finished the renovations.
This is a 1937 Aermotor windmill. It is 45 feet tall and for years pumped water for the family. In the 1970’s the house on the property where it sat fell into disrepair and had to be demolished. The windmill remained in place, but it was in poor condition. Recently, the great grandson of its original owner had it dismantled and moved to his property. Then after much research, it was repaired and older parts were restored. The old windmill now looks like new as it towers above the surrounding farmland.
Happy Windmill Wednesday!
The boardwalk over White Lake has been refurbished. The rain gods are not impressed. The lake is nearly dry. Cullinan Park, Sugar Land, Texas. Shot with my Canon 90D. Evaluating its IQ. Keeper, or not?
I moved overseas a couple of times with work - sometimes you strike lucky, and sometimes you strike very lucky.
We managed to bag the rental of this just-refurbished 100 year old apartment in the Champel district of Geneva which came with original parquet floors, French-style doors, and what I seem to remember as a 12 foot curtain drop. The lift too was in the old open French style. We were lucky because plenty of Swiss were hankering after it, but the owner clearly decided the company I worked for had deeper pockets and would be a better credit risk.
This was taken in 2005 - not too long before we would up sticks again and move to the US Deep South. So out went the smart suits and ties, and in came the short sleeves and khaki slacks - much more my style.
Inevitably you adapt your lifestyle to a new environment and I did miss a lot of things about Switzerland, yet oddly the most enduring one was my daily commute on the number 3 trolley bus.
All credit to Mrs H for dressing the room.
Sorry, no trains in this one.

8th May 2005
In the late 80s, all NZs 'named trains' were being refurbished and rebranded based on the success of the Tranz Alpine.
Obviously not all the carriages could be done at once, so for a while the Southerner, which was pretty low on the priority list, ran around with a mix of cars from all over the place.
In this example there is a car-van (possibly from the Picton train), an original Southerner car and a refurbished example (but with small windows rather than the panoramic glass installed on most other cars - perhaps this was one of the a backpackers cars?).
The traditional 56-foot guards van has been replaced with a red FM van for luggage at the back. The FMs were fairly new guard's vans used on freight trains until the move to two-man train crews ended that a year or so before.
1988? DF 6064 DJ 3107 + 3286 Ravensbourne, Dunedin, SIMT-NZ. An old negative. Other than the changed rolling stock, this view from the old overbridge is possible today - the foreground sidings have gone, replaced by a walk/cycleway, and the boats for the fertilizer works still come and go!

Without any intention to offend anyone for the state of some houses, this series of ugly images is my desperate, probably futile attempt to save the architectural heritage that is already in such a state that her salvation is gone.
I always take showers, but this tub - which was almost seven feet long and painted (?) a beautiful turquoise-y color on the outside - almost enticed me in. But there was a really nice shower stall, too, so I just took a photo of the tub.
The frozen lake was a good prerequisite to refurbish this platform during winter time. All we need now is summer and the swimmers will come again.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Mooie details van een mooie oude opgeknapte schuit Jokai
De Jókai is de op twee na langste stoomboot van het Balatonmeer ( 106 jaar in 2019 ) . Gebouwd in 1913 door de Óbuda-scheepswerf in Siófok, overleefde het twee wereldoorlogen, een zinkend, een economische crisis en meervoudige sloop.
Jokai vaart nu als een plezierboot samen met de Kisfaludy- boot in Balatonfüred .
Er worden regelmatig bruiloften, vrijgezellenfeesten en andere evenementen georganiseerd.

Nice details of a nice old refurbished barge
The Jókai is the third longest steamboat on Lake Balaton (106 years in 2019). Built in 1913 by the Óbuda shipyard in Siófok, it survived two world wars, a sinking, an economic crisis and multiple demolition.
Jokai now sails like a pleasure boat together with the Kisfaludy boat in Balatonfüred.
