A Long Island sod farm.
Something about this makes me sad. I guess I think they should be growing food.
More than one person has asked for the definition of sod.
Sod is grass that is grown for lawns. Here on Long Island, on golf courses everywhere, and around public buildings, people have landscapers put sod on the lawns because it looks better and doesn't have to be started from seed.
It looks perfect from the day it is put down.
It is cut in mats and rolled, or folded and then put down over topsoil. It has to be maintained and watered everyday in the beginning so the roots take hold.
It is just wasted land and wasted water to me, but I guess someone has to grow it!
Long Island used to grow lots of potatoes. Now it's corn, some crops, sod and vineyards!
The machine works perfectly fine, until you come to actually use it in the field ..

The log cabin we stayed in last week was fairly recently constructed.
Most interesting was a variation on the the 'sod' aka 'turf' roof often seen in Scandinavia. I don't have the full details. However, the roof is a layered construction with Japanese rain chains to drain water away from the building underneath. The sheer weight of the roof compacted and compressed the horizontal logs underneath so that they fitted together tightly. To control the compaction, out of sight in this photo, there are also hydraulic jacks so that everything can be adjusted up and down as and when the need arises. For such a traditional style of construction, it is actually quite complicated!
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.
The Prairie Homestead in Philip South Dakota is the original home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Brown who homesteaded this 160 acres in 1909. Mr. Brown used cottonwood logs (a native tree) for his homestead home. The beams are the original ones he used. The log front is also original. He plowed buffalo grass sod for the upper walls of his home.
Still experimenting with my light-setup, I decided to take some shots of the materials I had used as props for the dragonflies. I wanted to see how the light would react on a disc-shaped object, namely one that had its thinner, leading edge facing the light sources. I think that I may have to look into a refractor at some point.
