Cast Iron Culture
View allAll Photos Tagged cast
Think that’s one of the things I like about macro, you can make something mundane look more interesting!
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.
11:52 Shadows – The opposite of light is dark, the absence of light is shadow. Interpret this however you like.
I worked on this theme for quite some time, but without much light coming from outside, I failed over and over again. So I went into my archives, where I have a large selection of all the images just waiting to be posted, and most probably never will:) I took this at the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness Area on our last trip to California, and loved the rich shadows created by the dunes, that kept changing shape as the wind blew.
I've been really busy the last few days but will try to catch up with you this weekend.

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.

As I was leaving the beach from my sunrise captures there at the Ocean City Fishing Pier, this view caught my eye with the late morning shadows being cast on the dune, fence, and pier.
May have to try this one in B&W too.

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.
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.

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.
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...
This shot shows the shadow of some peeling lettering on a shop window cast onto a letter L that was part of the window display.
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.
Ilkley
This rather large tree stands on top of what was the Roman Fort of Olicana in Ilkley, it was abandoned in the 4th-5th century, apart from one wall most of the settlement remains under the ground. The shadow is cast by the Manor House which is a museum, arts and heritage centre and now stands on the same site as the fort. Down the slope in the bottom of the valley is the River Wharfe, you can just make out a small section of it through the trees. Ilkley is a Spa town and the town centre and Parish Church are behind me just off to the right.
