Part of an old cement mixer I discovered at Daan Viljoen Game Park.
Taken and uploaded for Macro Mondays and this week's theme: Macro Textures.
Have a great day, everyone!
After getting a few shots on Dartmoor recently I could feel the lure of the local seaside locations again.
Though the lighting was rubbish on Monday evening a trip to Trebarwith Strand seemed in order due to its fascinating rock formations and lively sea action.
Horace was in his element as there is a well known pink car which is often parked near the seafront in its own bay, he noticed a couple of builders rebuilding a stone wall where it is normally parked.
Horace spoke to the builders and said what has happened here, they responded don’t ask as they were laughing into their cement mixer.
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, the comments and banter are much appreciated, have a nice weekend.

As you've seen, our GPS took us on some kind of unexpected two-lane routes during our fall trip. Not sure why, but maybe they were just the best ways to get to where we were headed. Most surprising was that we often encountered large trucks on these small roads. After following this cement truck for quite awhile, the driver started going more and more slowly. I guess he decided he was on the wrong road because eventually he found a driveway and did a five-point turnaround. As usual, we gave him plenty of room.
Taken while driving to the dentist, in lots of rain this morning.
Best seen large by clicking on the photo. Thanks for your visit.
You're welcome to sit and colour while enjoying the warmth of the stove :-) Charming & cute heated hideaways made from old cement mixers. Spotted on San Juan Island, WA
Exploring San Juan Isand, we stumbled across a collection of fabulously quirky folk art/sculptures set up at the end of someone's hidden driveway for passers by to enjoy. This old cement mixer, decorated as a strawberry and left open with a little bit of furniture inside, had a warm stove fire (see the smoke drifting out of the little chimney on the right), books and toys. Soooo cute. There was even a sign that the cats normally hanging out in there belong to the family and were not strays, alas there were no cats when we dropped by. More pics of this delightfully odd and endearing little collection still to come.
(I would have liked to move the plank of wood on the left out of my shot but, since it was on someone's property, I didn't feel right about moving things.)
These coffee granules are being fed into the coffee grinder for Gulliver by a Lilliputian Barista.
The scene is 38 mm from the Barista's elbow to the handle of the wheelbarrow.

Taken on a late walk with my grandson in a stroller yesterday, he enjoyed seeing the construction equipment
We are still wandering around in the early morning with a camera in the old wharf precinct of Launceston. Yesterday I showed you a cement truck about to fill up for the first pour of the day. A little way away from there are some spare cement mixers waiting to be fitted to the back of a truck.

Tom seems a bit jumpy as Jerry thought he saw something moving around back of the propane tank at the neighbours house. Silly Jerry, it as nothing.

I may not have time to answer or acknowledge your visit here or any comments you leave right away but, rest assured, I will try to get back as quick as I can. I will thank you now in advance.
The Daf 1949 A-1500 Series trucks were replaced by A-1600 truck. It received a new designed cabin in 1959 and a new range of engines. The four-part windshield with a central split was only used in 1959. For the 1960 model cabin the central split disappeared.
The first series had a three horizontal strip front grille, in 1964 reduced to only two strips. Around 1964 the small ventilation openings under the A-pillar were replaced by two small ventilation grilles alongside the cooling grille.
L6 Diesel engine.

There's a certain sculptural appeal about the way these cement mixers from the backs of trucks have been dumped here. Whether they are just waiting to be picked up for later use, or they have finished their working life your guess is as good as mine.

These guys were working on a building site a couple of streets away. Here they posed for me just outside the builder’s yard somewhere in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. Just look at the footwear of the two guys standing; if you drive the trike you get to wear boots. I would hate to see them moving that cement mixer.
BR 'Blue Pullman' driving motor in the yard at Swindon works in about 1965, with a vintage cement mixer on the right, and a loco boiler on a cradle on the left..
These diesel-electric units later had yellow warning panels painted on, and later still were painted overall in BR 'reverse' Pullman livery, of silver-grey body, with blue over the windows. They were all withdrawn from service by mid-1973, and although several were stored for a time - with the vague possibility of sale to Ireland, or Yugoslavia - they were all eventually scrapped.
Swindon loco works finally closed down in 1986, although some restoration work on the chassis of GWR 2-8-2T 7200 was carried out there in 2000 - 2006. Today (2023) one of the buildings is used to house the Swindon 'Steam' museum..
Restored from a faded unfocussed yellow-colour-shifted original..

I think the man in the picture is the driver which makes him the Cement Mixer Fixer. The vehicle is waiting to enter the building site for the new theatre or as I once described it in a previous picture, the £24,000,000 white elephant. The building is looking good I must admit but it was an unnecessary renewal for a perfectly usable theatre without all this expense.
"And what's more, you've got wonky eyes, bad breath and a pineapple for a head." Actually it wasn't nearly that bad and I kinda like the smell of an old wood-burning stove. Another of the delightful ex-cement-mixer collection we happened across on our recent visit to San Juan Island, WA. Zoom in for a closer look inside :-)

I built this cement mixer truck from a white metal children's toy by Corgi Junior from 1973.
I disassembled the Corgi model #30D and removed the ugly yellow cabin glazing. I cut and fitted new windows from a blister pack. I filed down the disturbing bumps on the lower part of the chassis. I separated the cabin from the superstructure with a saw. I repainted the chassis and body. I put the letterings on. More suitable wheels were fitted. Many handmade small parts complement the model.
Corgi was founded as Mettoy in 1933 by two German born Jewish emigres following Hitler’s rise to power. The Brand name Corgi was created in 1965.

Construí este camión hormigonera a partir de un juguete infantil de metal blanco de Corgi Junior de 1973.
Desarmé el Corgi modelo #30D y quité el feo acristalamiento amarillo de la cabina. Corté y coloqué nuevas ventanas de un blister. Limé los molestos baches en la parte inferior del chasis. Separé la cabina de la superestructura con una sierra. Repinté el chasis y la carrocería. Le puse las letras. Se instalaron ruedas más adecuadas. Muchas piezas pequeñas hechas a mano complementan el modelo.
Corgi fue fundada como Mettoy en 1933 por dos emigrantes judíos nacidos en Alemania tras el ascenso al poder de Hitler. La marca Corgi fue creada en 1965.

Diesen Cement Mixer Lastwagen baute ich aus einem Weissmetall Kinderspielzeug von Corgi Junior aus dem Jahre 1973.
Ich nahm das Corgi Modell Nr. 30D auseinander und entfernte die hässliche gelbe Kabinen-Verglasung. Aus einer Blisterverpackung habe ich neue Scheiben zugeschnitten und eingepasst. Die störenden Buckel am Unterteil des Fahrgestells habe ich abgefeilt. Die Kabine habe ich mit einer Säge vom Aufbau abgetrennt. Das Fahrgestell und den Aufbau lackierte ich neu. Ich brachte die Beschriftungen an. Passendere Räder wurden montiert. Viele handgemachte Kleinteile ergänzen das Modell.
Corgi wurde 1933 als Mettoy von zwei in Deutschland geborenen jüdischen Emigranten nach Hitlers Machtergreifung gegründet. Der Markenname Corgi wurde 1965 geschaffen.
Best Wishes All for 2018!
Peace.
