On the Rickety Bridge on a journey to Barmouth, Gwynedd, North Wales.
The Penmaenpool toll bridge makes it just a short walk to the RSPB bird reserve at Coed Garth Gell and the facilities at Taicynhaeaf.
With free public parking with toilets, Penmaenpool is a great place to join the Mawddach Way or the Dolgellau to Barmouth railway walk, the Mawddach Trail.
Penmaenpool Visitor Information
Penmaenpool (pronounced ‘Pen-mine-pool’) originated as the estate village to serve Penmaenuchaf Hall, the country residence for a Lancashire entrepeneur. The village consisted of a terrace of workers cottages, a model farm and a railway station.
Driving over the bridge, view from in between the barriers.

Hay Butter Market was erected by a local entrepeneur by the name of William Enoch in 1830. It replaced a very old open market in order to provide a covered market area for the use of local traders and farmers on market days which have always been a Thursday. It is situated right in the centre of town by Hay Castle Square.
The building had been walled up since just after the second World War but was opened up and restored by Hay Warren Trustees in 1985.
In 2021 the company Green City Trip started running sleeper trains between The Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Back then the company was started and owned by 2 entrepeneurs from Breda, and thus the train started there. Via Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Arnhem the train would go towards Germany and eventually head to Prague in the Czech Republic.
The train wasn't really successful. Travelers were lured into making some hidden costs, like for bedding, and regular defects and bad communication lead to a frequent number of passengers having to sort out alternative transport. The executing suncontractor was blamed for the problems. GCT eventually came into ownership of European Sleeper, who created a sleeper train to Prague that ended up performing quite a bit better. The original owners of GCT have since set their mind on another way to profit from the increased demand of international passenger trains. In 2026 their new company Govolta is expecting to run trains between Amsterdam and Berlin, more or less like how GCT was originally set up (with lots of extra options most people already expect from a train operator).
But in 2022 the GCT trains still ran. Due to track maintenance along the usual route, the trains were diverted across the dutch-german border. So an additional loco was hired to haul the train the usual route to Arnhem, and from Arnhem on to Deventer. From there the train would reverse using the usual multi-system loco and leave the other loco behind. The extra loco that was hired was TCS' 102001. At Rotterdam Centraal station I was able to capture this slightly different train.
Yesterday I assorted a set of 50 postcards for an entrepeneur whom wanted to send real Dutch postcards to her clients on their birthday. I bought a little box around it, to keep them in shape till they're ready to take off 😊🎂
Curly Phillips was an outfitter (today we would probably call him an entrepeneur), who built the original boathouse on Maligne Lake in 1928 and lived here until his death in an avalanche in 1936. The building has been restored several times and is protected as a historical building.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, this boathouse is no longer widely recognized as 'Curly Phillips' Boathouse' or 'Curly's Boathouse'. The business of renting canoes is run by Maligne Lake Tours and they have put the lettering on, which now reads 'Maligne Lake Boat House'. At least this is a major improvement over the previous lettering, which read 'Maligne Tours Boat House'. I think it is a bit sad that a historical building which was built by Curly Phillips and was always known as Curly Philips Boathouse can't continue on in his name.
Regardless, this is one of the iconic views in Jasper and is probably the second most photographed location at Maligne Lake after Spirit Island.
Maligne Lake itself is the second largest glacier fed lake in the world and is a great place for canoeing and kayaking. The only power boats are operated by the tour company that takes people out to Spirit Island for short visits.
Wanna buy some cheap Florida swamp land?! Back in the 1950's, that old cliche rang true for an entrepeneur by the name of C. Oliver Wellington who purchased 18,000 acres of gator-infested swamp land just west of Palm Beach. That land is now the upscale equestrian community of Wellington, and as for "Flying Cow Rd"? C. Oliver Wellington was an avid pilot and built a landing strip for his plane here ... it was nicknamed the Flying C.O.W. (for C.Oliver Wellington).

Oglethorpe County, GA. Copyright 2007 D. Nelson
This parched field is located in what used to be known as the Bowling Green District in Oglethorpe County.
The Bowling Green settlement was established by Italian merchant Ferdinand Phinizy, founder of the American Phinizy family. Phinizy came to America from Parma, Italy, and settled in Oglethorpe County in 1798 where he built his home, "China Grove", on a huge tract of land he named Bowling Green east of today's Stephen, GA. Bowling Green featured a store, several craft shops, a hotel that served the nearby stagecoach route and a popular race track. Entrepeneur par excellence, Phinizy also opened the first store in Lexington, GA, in the early 1800s before moving to Augusta. He died at "China Grove" in 1818 while visiting his son.
The widow of a Ferdinand Phinizy who I assume was his son or grandson bought this home in Athens, GA in 1890.
Sadly, nothing is left of the Bowling Green settlement today; the crumbling family cemetery is said to be somewhere out here but I could not find it.

Historically known as Buckland's Shops or Buckland's No 2 Building, and currently housing Golden Mine Chinese Restaurant, this building was constructed around 1886 for Sir Thomas Buckland, a local entrepeneur who began as the first gold assayer on the field, then moved into butchery, pastoral, and mining investments and property owner, and later local politics.
The ground floor was his original butcher shop, and office spaces were let on the the first floor to professionals such as architects and photographers. Later the ground floor became a jewellers and bank, then in the 50s and 60s housed the first Commonwealth Bank.

Happy Woman's Day !!
Personally, I do not believe that women and men should be equal in the same way that there should not be two people who are the same. The nuances among all of us are what make the human being develop.
We should not confuse this with the fact that women and men should have the same rights in every part of the world. I would invest focused efforts to denounce and shed light on, for example, companies and entrepeneurs who take advantage of that fossil idea and to abuse certain workers.
Countries like Spain have enough legislation to defend the rights of anyone as a worker as a person, so let's use these laws and give light on every complaint that is tried to hide.
Bad people will always exist unfortunately; no protest will prevent a businessman try to earn more, or that a criminal does not try to commit a crime; that is a utopia.
There will always be thousands of thieves, but that does not mean that "society steals".

This is the place – a plantation (roça) in the Island of Príncipe - where Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, a famous British astrophysicist of the early 20th century, confirmed Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Eddington travelled to Príncipe to watch the solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 and stayed in the main house of roça Sundy. During the eclipse, he took pictures of the stars in the region around the Sun. According to the theory of general relativity, stars with light rays that passed near the Sun would appear to have been slightly shifted because their light had been curved by its gravitational field. This effect is noticeable only during eclipses, since otherwise the Sun's brightness obscures the affected stars. Eddington showed that Newtonian gravitation could be interpreted to predict half the shift predicted by Einstein.
Eddington's observations published the next year confirmed Einstein's theory, and were hailed at the time as a conclusive proof of general relativity over the Newtonian model. The news was reported in newspapers all over the world as a major story. I visited the spot where good old Arthur took his crucial photos and I felt, jzzzz: History was made there
[ Let me tell you Roça Sundy was bought by Mark Shuttleworth, the South African billionaire entrepeneur who gained worldwide fame as the second self-funded space tourist and the first-ever African in space. Flying through Space Adventures, he launched aboard the Russian Soyuz TM-34 mission as a spaceflight participant, paying approximately US$ 20 million for the voyage ]

It's Rodeo time in Tucson and as we have done in years before we're parking cars in our lodge parking lot. The money we raise goes out to community projects we have like providing school supplies to South Tucson's community K-12 charter school.
Next to our lodge is an empty dirt lot. In years past we've contacted the owner of the lot and asked him about using it to park cars and we would split the money taken in with him, and he's always refused. From what I understand he's one one of those guys that goes outside and yells at the clouds for passing over his lot.
This year it seems like he decided that a little cash revenue wouldn't be a bad thing so he hired Heckle and Jekyll to park some cars for him. I say "seems" because we're not sure if these guys are working for him or if they're entrepreneurs who saw an empty lot and decided to make some quick cash.
The lodge has parked cars for many years and we're well prepared. We've got signage, flaggers, chalked out parking spaces, radios, the whole works. People know that we man the lot for the entire rodeo and keep an eye on all the cars. The same can't be said for Heckle and Jekyll.
These muppets were walking out in the street, stopping cars and telling them they should park in "their" lot. If you look at my previous shot:
www.flickr.com/photos/nyalr/54348202566/in/dateposted-pub...
you'll see Engine Co. 22, the partner of Mr Pajamas. He was using that bunch of Caution tape as a flag, trying to get some attention. Needless to say it really didn't work.
They did get a couple of people to park, overflow from us since our lot was filled to the brim. Somebody (not us) call the local PD to complain about being harrassed so the PD had a nice chat with the muppets, let them know that if they didn't clear out they were going to get a free night's lodging at the GreyBar Hotel. They disappeared shortly after, never to be seen again.
We still don't know if they were employees or entrepreneurs.

In Turkey there are still many places where smoking the waterpipe ('nargileh' or 'nargile') can be done. However due to the newest regulations it's getting the more and more difficult to get a licence as an entrepeneur.

Just chillaxing at the end of the day. These entrepeneurs in the foreground were selling trinkets on the shore of a private beach on lake malawi. Sellers were not allowed on the beach so they stayed just offshore on their surfboards. I love their spirit.
Theres always a way around any problem we just need to find a way....

A little about our stay at Hotel Chocolat, for those who're interested...
For anyone who's familiar with the brand of chocolate "Hotel Chocolat" this is the hotel, restaurant and plantation where it all begins. We were lucky enough to meet co-owner Peter Harris on our stay, a fascinating guy who started the business as a mail order chocolate company and has worked to create something virtually unique. I've not met many true entrepeneurs before, but what I found most interesting is that I got no sense that he'd built this for the money. It seemed much more about creating something very special, realising a dream if you like. It seemed clear that the workers here are getting a good deal. The plantation works to promote agriculture and to help farmers set up their own crops, with a clear focus on education and providing a fair return on the cocoa! If ever you're lucky enough to visit St Lucia, I cannot recommend this place enough. It makes you see your chocolate in a whole new light, and I doubt you'll ever grumble again at paying a couple of pounds for quality bar of dark chocolate once you've seen the work that's gone into it!

View at the old Fabriekstraat (factory lane) in Amersfoort, that today is a street with a lot of small start up companies like cycle shops, multimedia, styling, workshop and other creative companies. It's part of the "Nieuwe stad" area and used to be the Prodent factory.
On the picture you see the nice elements of this factory like the blue doors, clock and factory chimney.
It's a very nice lively and inspiring area.

Soaring gasoline prices this year have inspired a clever entrepeneur to create and sell online stickers for motorists to express their displeasure. This was at a Chevron gas station in Fort Stockton, Texas, on June 11, 2022. This purchase was from the previous customer, not mine. The price was $4.50 per US gallon. As of today, June 26, 2022, the price is the same. Last time I purchased fuel at this place, in 2017, the price was $2.60 per US gallon.
First time I see one of these stickers.
Ik werk graag op locatie, het geeft de sessie een extra dynamiek en ik hou van de samenwerking van het natuurlijke licht in combinatie met kunstlicht. Het geeft natuurlijk ook een extra uitdaging om dat je nooit van te voren weet wat het weer voor je in petto heeft. Wil jij ook graag een Cinematic portret foto? Ik denk graag actief en creatief mee aan leuke projecten. Laat wat van je horen zodat we eens de mogelijkheden kunnen bespreken.
Die Fliesen an der Wand zwischen den Treppen sind nach dem Vorbild babylonischer Wandgestaltungen im Palast König Nebukadnezars II. von Babylon gestaltet. Ihre rekonstruierten und ergänzten Originale sind seit 1930 im Pergamonmuseum zu sehen. DIe Ausgrabungen in Babylon waren nachhaltig von James Simon, dem Förderer der Berliner Museen, untertützt worden. Sein Firmensitz befand sich in der Klosterstraße, weshalb der schwedische Architekt Alfred Grenander, der diesen und mehrere weitere U-Bahnhöfe entworfen hatte, sie als Motiv wählte.
The ornamental tiles on the wall between the stairs were made after the example of the decoration of the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylonia. The original tiles, restored and completed, can be seen since 1930 in the Pergamon Museum. The archeological excavations in Babylonia had been financed to great extent by the wealthy Berlin entrepeneur James Simon, whose headquarters were localized at Klosterstraße. Therefore the swedish architect Alfred Grenander, when he designed this subway station, resolved to place copies of these tiles in the passage.
Amsterdam 25-05-2022. This unregistered Bristol Lodekka LD6G / ECW has been in the Netherlands since September 1978 and was first registered 39-VB-06 in August 1980, and later BH-25-GJ in October 1990. Here it is seen at the 'Rolling Kitchens' festival on hire from Car Casting Holland by a young entrepeneur from Amsterdam, who labelled the bus 'Pudding Proef'. The bus was new in the UK with Southern Vectis as ODL 13 (553) in May 1957.
