From their website: The farm and Museum - Exhibition
The buildings of the farm date from slightly different periods in the 18th- & 19th-centuries. This style of the turf construction was universal in rural areas of Iceland until about 1900, when it was gradually replaced mainly by reinforced concrete, which is typical in most contemporary Icelandic construction today. Extensive turf construction evolved in Iceland owing to the acute shortage of large trees.
Hence the buildings at Glaumbær are comprised of thin shells of wood separated from one another and insulated by thick walls of turf, and roofed with a thick layer of the same material. Icelandic grass grows very thickly, consequently the turf is a strong and enduring combination of roots and soil. A turf building, in districts of moderate rainfall, can last up to a century. The roof must be sloped at the correct angle; if it is too flat, water leaks through and if it is too steep, the turf cracks during spells of dry weather or drains too quickly so the grass does not grow, both resulting in a roof that leaks. The old Icelandic farm was a complex of small separate buildings. The most frequently used were united by a central passageway, while tool & storerooms could only be reached from the outside.

With 4 expected trains turning out to be non-runners, this almost had to be the wrong way round...Intercity liveried 37254 was on the back!

Crews place sod on the side of SR 522 between US 2 and the Snohomish River Bridge.
The sod will help clean roadway water runoff before it reachs storm ponds.
This work is part of the project to widen SR 522 from two lanes to four between Monroe and the Snohomish River Bridge
My next set of MOCs is for the Eurobricks Technic Triple Challenge.
The Brouwer 1576 Sod Harvester I am particularly proud of. It features working steering and a 2 cylinder engine. The harvesting head has a high speed cutting blade with a times length cutter, and a working conveyor to move the sod to the back pallet. The rear pallet fork also drops to let the pallet off the back of the harvester. I hope you enjoy.

The Dolly Sods Wilderness — originally simply Dolly Sods — is a U.S. Wilderness Area in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA, and is part of the Monongahela National Forest of the U.S. Forest Service.
Summertime is also music time in Helsinki.
Espan stage is in the centre of town where lots of summer concerts are held. It's close to the market place and the Helsinki Cathedral. It is at the end--or the beginning--of the lovely Esplanade park.
Inga Söder, 36 y/o, is a Finnish singer, a blogger and a singing teacher. She did her studies in Helsinki, but she lives in Oulu.
Inga has been singing for about ten years by now.
She gave a fabulous one hour long performance on Espan Lava in Helsinki.
After the concert I caught up with her to thank her for the wonderful music. She had a long queue of fans waiting for an autograph, nonetheless, she kindly gave me a minute of her time and posed for me.
I've sent Inga the photos with a few questions and she promised to write when she has time.
Thank you, Inga. Much appreciated !

Cloudy-morning sunrise, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Monongahela National Forest, Tucker County, West Virginia. Taken first morning of the Potomac Highlands photography workshop (Randall Sanger Photography); the workshop was a great experience for several reasons, but getting me -- not usually a morning person -- up and on the go, and to a venue such as this for sunrise, was a prime reason for my participating in the workshop.
This photo was taken several minutes before the preceding one, taken after the early color of the sunrise had faded. As with the backlit trees in the woods a few photos back, this is a "do-over" of an image posted earlier (below). This version was processed in Lightroom 5, which enabled me rather easily to bring out some foreground detail without losing color and detail in the sky.
