I never tire of this location in Pelham. It's really off the grid, but I guess that's part of the charm. I rarely see another person walking around here. The flow of water was still pretty good, but mosquitos were becoming more of a problem.
Best viewed in large. Now can you hear the sound of water?
Happy Thursday all!
Dunlop , Ayrshire , Scotland
Built in 1835 . . Barbara Gilmour, famous for introducing the production of Dunlop cheese, is buried in the churchyard.
Clothed in an elegant body designed by Count Albrecht von Goetz, the BMW 507 was powered by the first German post-war all-aluminium eight cylinder engine. Its quintessentially 1950s style was every bit as appropriate to take Audrey Hepburn to Tiffany's for breakfast as it was to cover long continental journeys in sybaritic comfort. Elvis Presley owned this particular model!
The BMW 507 is a roadster that was produced by BMW from 1956 to 1959. Initially intended to be exported to the United States at a rate of thousands per year, it ended up being too expensive, resulting in a total production figure of 252 cars and heavy losses for BMW.
John Surtees was given a 507 by Count Agusta for winning the 1956 500cc World Motorcycle Championship on a MV Agusta. Surtees worked with Dunlop to develop disc brakes for the front wheels of the 507 and his 507 eventually had disc brakes on all four wheels. Surtees owned his 507 until his death. Following his death, the Surtees car sold for £3,809,500 plus commission in July 2018. The 507 owned by Albrecht von Goertz was sold for £2,367,000 plus commission at Bonhams on 1 December 2018.
Another fun one. In addition to these falls, Dunlop Creek is loaded with "babbling brook" scenes; it would take a day or two to shoot them all.

Consider zooming in on this all the way... that's why I pay extra for Flickr Pro. You may be surprised at how much sharp detail there is on a photo like this.
Cambridge Street, Manchester
Another image from my walkabout with Eddie and Steve through the back streets of Manchester a few months ago. I was aware of the hotspur Press building but didn’t know anything of this building which is no more than a hundred yards away along Cambridge Street. Yet again, I’ve found very little information about the history of the building, but I’ve cobbled a few paragraphs from different sources.
On the side of the building is the sign for Macintosh & Co Limited – India rubber Works (didn’t get a picture of that – drat!). Charles Macintosh invented a way to bond two layers of cloth on either side of a layer of rubber, which now takes his name – The Macintosh. The rubber solution was originally manufactured in Glasgow and shipped to Manchester where H. H. Birley built a factory in 1825 to produce Macintosh's patented fabric. The Macintosh process had some problems but in 1844 one of his associates Thomas Hancock came up with a solution that was much more stable. It is suggested that he got the idea from Charles Goodyear and patented it before him.
The original factory on Cambridge Street was demolished by the second and third phase of the factory located along Hulme Street, however the latest reincarnation still stands today. Soon after World War One the factory was taken over by Dunlop and you can still see the Dunlop name on the building. There is an octagonal chimney on the corner of Cambridge St and Hulme St that was built in 1851 but actually belongs to the Chorlton Mill across Cambridge Street from the Dunlop factory and connected by an underground flue.
Production ceased in 2000 and the main mill was converted briefly into prison cells. Today the building is full of trendy apartments.
Is the common name of the original tyre factory and main office of Dunlop Rubber in the Erdington district of Birmingham England.
It was established in 1917, and by 1954 the entire factory area employed 10,000 workers. At one time it was the world's largest factory, when it employed 3,200 workers. Wikipedia

Adding details to an old sketch at Dunlop Street, Little India. No fountain pen for the first time.
My motivation for this piece? I always wanted to get the road signs in with no outline. That explains why the signes are almost in the centre.
I wasn't familiar with this fall or brook until www.flickr.com/photos/ole_g posted this location earlier this month.
Thanks for this one Ole!
Crazy Tuesday - Knots
Shoelace knot or bow knot.
Sometimes referred to as 'bunny ears' especially when the knot is taught to children!!

This is an image of Dunlop Falls in West Virginia. I have been thee numerous times and I really love these falls. I had posted images of it this season a few other times but in this one I decided to zoom in a bit on the falls as I just love the exposure time and flow which gives the texture in this image. Guess its just my own personal preference. The long exposure is cool too, but I kinda prefer the texture look. Seems most photographers and viewers prefer the longer exposures. I for the most part think this exposure is just right. For me lol.

Michael Dunlop won the first race and got the lap record from a standing start in the first lap. He lapped the 37.733 miles (60.73 km) in just under 17 minutes!
We stopped down to check out the falls the day before but the sun was shining right on the falls so we decided to come back sometime in the morning. This image was taken after we had did the early morning hike and photo take at Long Point. Luckily still was okay from direct sun when we got there.
Most of the nice colored leaves had already blew or fallen off but I still love the falls. I will definitely post a B & W also eventually.
Dunlop Falls, WV
Another shot from my shoot with Zoe and the Dunlop Factory. I love all the light beams and the contrasts of the blue beams against Zoe's flaming red hair.
Behind the scenes video of the shoot is posted on my blog for anyone that likes checking out how images are made etc.
