Cast Iron Cooking
View allAll Photos Tagged cast
Cast iron pans with flat bottoms came into use when cooking stoves appeared in the mid 1800's. Before that, kettles and pots were the main utensils in open fireplaces, ovens and pits.
Shoreline remains of wooden moulds used to cast concrete blocks. These were used to build the Churchill Barriers on Orkney. The wood has weathered from exposure to sea water over the decade and the steel hooks and rings used to move them by crane are slowly rusting away.
Worth expanding this photo to see the texture and the spiders web!

The 1858 cast iron "Little Cary"building located at 620 Broadway in the NoHo (an acronym for North of Houston St) section of downtown Manhattan.It's labeled as the "little Cary Building"because it's a near copy of a building (also a cast iron structure) built two years before it on 105 Chambers St called by that name.Cast iron façades was an early invention back then and it was used on buildings to make them look like masonry,and they were cheaper than cement.If you zoom in you can see the metal nuts still fastened to the wall and the faux masonry bricks,and even some signs of rust.The six-story,palazzo like structure had to quickly be put up because another building where new inventions from the 1858 World's Fair were being displayed had burned down,some newer items were shown at this new one.That was another reason for the cast iron facade on the new building,because the material was considered "fire proof"daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/01/1858-cast-iron-no-...
The downfall of a man is definitely not the end of life. Therefore, our glory is not in never falling but rising up after each fall.

While barns used to dominate farm sites throughout the countryside, they had a whole supporting cast of other buildings. Sometimes they were small while other times there were quite large buildings that sheltered hogs, sheep or cattle. Hard to tell what this intriguing building was but I suspect at least at one time it held chickens. On our farm, you could put chickens almost anywhere and they would be happy.
For the Paint It Black project on Flickr Friday, this is where my mind went the bottom of the skillet for this frame.
Near sunset on the Li River a cormorant fisherman and his birds are framed by a perfect throw of his circular cast net, with the limestone karst mountains in the background. The practice of fishing with cormorants on the Li River (Lijiang) dates back for centuries, but the fish are now disappearing from the river and this will likely be the last generation to fish the river. Captured near Xingping Fishing Village, Guangxi Province, China.

Seems the wind has knocked out my main internet, so will catch up extra slowly :D But when do I ever catch up quickly?
Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...
Another autumn day. Sun shined through trees and cast lights on the ground when I hiked down from Mt Kearsarge. Phenomenally trees, branches and ground were lit up. Took to use iPhone 17.
The original shot.Cast iron fronted buildings were constructed by machine made,and mass-made and mass-produced interchangeable parts that were simply bolted to the façades,and that allowed for exuberant designs and many different architectural styles that were mimicked like neo-classical and Romanesque.This kind of manufacturing was introduced in the Industrial Revolution (around 1790 and into the 1850's).Steel manufacturing had not yet been invented,but came later in the Second Industrial Revolution.I don't know the architectural style or the former names of the buildings shown here,but from top to bottom the intricate ornamentation on them look pretty amazing!The greenish building on the right is a retail store telling from the banner hanging on it.Some of the old commercial buildings in Manhattan's SoHo district were originally retail stores anyway,so the newer buildings like these are just keeping with tradition.Hope you like it.Have a great week ahead. pocket.co/soHUts
The Northern Pacific Office Building is a three-story historic office building in Tacoma, Washington that served as the headquarters of the Northern Pacific Railway's Tacoma division. Built in 1888, the brick, stucco, stone and cast iron structure stands on a high bluff overlooking the Commencement Bay harbor and extensive railroad switching yards that fan out across the tide flats below at the mouth of the Puyallup River where it flows into Puget Sound.
On a falling tide in the Mersey estuary one of Antony Gormley's cast-iron statues, a few hours ago semi-submerged, stands watch as a ferry departs the port of Liverpool and heads out towards the Irish Sea and its destination, Dublin.
The vessel is the 'Victorine', a roll-on, roll-off type that mostly caters for commercial trucks. It's a leisurely journey over too with the 5.30pm departure from Liverpool turning in to a 3.30am arrival at the Irish port - presumably to allow plenty of time for drivers to get their regulation rest before heading off to their next destination.
Per the Liverpool Biennial website:
Antony Gormley’s installation comprises 100 cast-iron life-size sculptures made from 17 different moulds taken from the sculptor’s own body, installed on Crosby Beach on the Mersey Estuary. The 'iron men' all face the open sea, and evoke the relationship between the natural elements, space and the human body. ‘Another Place’ covers a distance of almost 3km, with the pieces placed 250m apart along the tide line, and up to 1km out towards the horizon. The movement of local tides and daily weather conditions dictate whether the figures are visible or submerged. It has become one of the most well-loved and widely recognised public art works in the UK.
From personal experience, and with the huge cranes of the Port of Liverpool out of sight on my left, it's a surreal and magical place. By my reckoning, 11 of the men can be seen in this shot. Unsurprisingly, given the salty atmosphere and conditions, the statues have started corroding to varying degrees, which surely adds further to their appeal.
