Strange title for sure, but I have an association with somebody screwing in a new light bulb in a lamp.

Taken yesterday, when spring arrived in the middle of winter, and I went out to the Noordwaard. The light was amazing, so another problem with too many nice shots and animal encounters (sea eagle, hare, kestrel, ducks like the smew, buzzards etc. etc.).

And bees everywhere.

I normally always forget to use my macro lens, but this time I was sensitized by the emerging macro's of snowdrops, so when I saw them I thought I could give it a try.

I found it rather frustrating to capture a bee on a snowdrop, because they are so fast and never sit still in the right place. So I was 'somewhat' surprised to see this one later when i was going through my images.

There are all kind of trading, crafts and services along the old arcades in George Town, Penang! I like to remember the time of travelling with backpack in the 80th - we used bag repair services. I never expectrd them to be still there, and busy...

This repair shop and Inspection Station was built in the 1930’s. It has a large repair bay on the far side with a lift and pit. It had two gas pumps which were removed in 2007 when it was no longer cost effective to have fuel trucked out to this rural area, (which cost the owner extra money and had to be reflected in the gas prices). This station still does repair work and inspections. It has been in the same family since it was built. The owner is soon ready to retire and no other family member wishes to carry on the business, so the shop will close its doors for good. HWW

After a gloomy morning the sun came out in the afternoon and Linus enjoyed the lovely weather in his garden. While he was watching a neighbour repairing his fence, I could take this photo of Linus showing his lionesque winter coat which will soon be distributed generously over carpets, furniture and my clothes to make room for the summer outfit.

There are plenty of businesses throughout SE Asia devoted to repairing goods and shoe stalls are quite common. These two fellas seem to have plenty of business

Teesdale.

The back streets of Liverpool's centre are a minefield of delight. This is a bicycle repair yard, incase you couldn't guess.

Best if viewed large. Photo taken in September, 2016, on the Crooked River in the town of Nome, Idaho, State. Well not a town now but at one time it was.

Golden Silk spider,

Trichonephila clavipes

Moments later, the support for the offending leaf is almost cut away, and the web repair is underway, as she pulls silk from her abdomen. Also it becomes easier in this pose to see that our little heptapod has lost a right foreleg. Happens sometimes.

HFF!

doing what generations have done before him, maybe the nets and tools have changed, but they will always be "Men of the Sea" to me.

A dangerous occupation which commands my utmost respect.

Log 2.002.2: My past several days have been spent exploring the planet searching for anything I can use. I've managed to find some strange metal scraps in a few areas and am using them to make some needed repairs to the ship. There is a strange feeling when I am out getting supplies that I am being watched, but still no definitive signs of life. I may have found a mineral that will be a decent fuel source, I'm just not sure yet how to excavate it properly.

This spider seemed to be repairing the area the leaf had trapped itself in the web , wrapping new webs to secure it I suppose . Would make a nice landing spot for unexpecting prey. The spider was actually upside down like shown and the leaf was caught up in the position you see as I was snapping the shot. No rotation was done to the image. Again another early morning light shot. Morning light is so nice . So many beams of light coming through the forest at that time.

Look in large if you have time . The spider has a really fantastic design on its back.

After a wonderful holiday filled with fond memories, it's time for Bartie to get back to work.

On Monday morning at 9 o'clock, the door of the Repair Shop opens and the first customer is ready to go in.

NOIR BEAR:

Good morning, Mr. Bartie.

BARTIE:

Good morning, how can I help you?

NOIR BEAR:

I have a chair here that needs to be repaired.

When I sat on this chair and wiggled a little, the chair collapsed and I fell on the floor.

BARTIE:

That's not good. Did you hurt yourself?

NOIR BEAR:

I ended up with a bruised ankle. A good friend of mine, called Paddy, helped me and took care of me. I can't put any weight on my ankle yet, it's in a splint.

BARTIE:

Good heavens!

It could have been worse.

Well... let's take a look at the chair.

(examines the remains of the chair)

Oh... yes... hmm... it's possible...

The chair can be repaired, but it may take a while before it's ready. Due to my absence last week, because of my holiday, I have to catch up on some work. I hope you understand.

NOIR BEAR:

That's okay, Bartie. I'm glad the chair can be repaired.

BARTIE:

All right then.

I'll let you know when the chair is ready.

NOIR BEAR:

Great... thank you and goodbye.

BARTIE:

Goodbye.

A pair of tinkerers are busy repairing pots in the kasbah of Fez (Fès), Morocco. Cobblers make or repair shoes, anglers catch fish, peddlers are traveling sellers of household goods, and tinkerers make or repair pots. The old medina of Fez was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981.

Another set of road repairs. This particular road is more patch repair than road.

After the rain this patchwork looks great.

Excellent subject for my series Lines and Planes, surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.
