Autumn gold, that is!
This capture of a bee on a marigold was taken on September 22, the day before autumn officially began this year. However, to my eye, this is an autumn shot; and as I post it, I am wishing all of you, "Happy Autumn!"
... into a New Week - even harder after 2 weeks of vacation :-))
Happy Blue Monday !

Mitten in der Nordoberpfalz ragt er aus der Landschaft: Der 83 Meter hohe Bohrturm des Kontinentalen Tiefbohrprogramms. Hier wurde zwischen 1987 und 1995 mehrere Bohrversuche unternommen um neue Erkenntnisse über die Erdkruste zu erfahren. Die Hauptbohrung begann im September 1990 und wurde im Oktober 1994 bei einer Tiefe von 9.101 Metern beendet. In Europa ist es die tiefste Bohrung, weltweit steht es nach der Kola-Bohrung auf Platz 2.
Drilling Hole
In mid of the north of Upper Palatinate a tower sticks out of the countryside. The drilling tower of the Continental Deep Drilling Programme is 83 meters tall. Between 1987 and 1995 several trials of drilling were made to get new findings about the earth's crust. The main drilling hole began in September 1990 and ended in Oktober 1994 in a depth of 9.101 meters. This hole is the deepest in Europe, worldwide on second place after the Kola Superdeep Borehole.

Back in the fall of 1995, I was called at Argentine yard in Kansas City for a work train on the Emporia Subdivision. Our job was to drill into the sub-roadbed and pump a lime-slurry into the soil to help stabilize the roadbed.
Here we are on Olathe Hill west of Kansas City taking a break as a westbound train charges up the hill past us. We'd work both Olathe Hill and Wellsville Hill that day before calling it quits.
Top of the firefighters' drill tower in my village. Firefighters do their job here on a voluntary basis. The job can be rather diverse as there is no police station in the village.

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
I road along with a local Minneapolis based vintage airplane club for their annual River Run along the Mississippi. The planes are WW2 era T-6 Texan warbird trainers from different military branches. The photo was taken in a formation over a eastern suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota called Cottage Grove.
