This building was an former nib-factory in Iserlohn, NRW, Germany.
Now it is used as an office for job seekers
One of the places I wanted to visit since 2017, finally got to see it although all the mannequins are gone.
Still very glad to see it in person after 7 years

The Factory is a new pub in downtown St. John's. (as if we needed another) They got a group of artists together to paint the walls yesterday. Fun event!
Tucked away off the path on the way up Glaramara lies the remamnants of a stone axe factory .. probably looking very much like it did on the day the last man in furs left the site. The stone scalpings are still lying there and the rock where they must have sat is reasonably comfortable. Everyone is more familiar with the one of Pike o Stickle, but unbeknown to most there are many scattered around the Scafells and outlying ridges where outcropping of hornblende arises.
This is the site of what might be called the first recognisable 'industry' in the British Isles. The scree slopes here were quarried some 5,000 years ago for the raw materials for stone axes, which were then shaped and eventually ended up distributed round the country.
The first settlers in the Lake District came to the area by sea. They moved inland along the rivers, and along the way discovered the area we call Langdale and its greenstone volcanic tuff. They made polished axe heads with it. From here, the axe heads were exported, presumably through trading. There is a track leading east along the ridge from the site that may well date from the 'factory' period.
A study of stone axe heads from all over England and Wales came up with the surprising discovery that 27% were made of Great Langdale tuff and therefore originated from this site. Most such axe heads were found in Lincolnshire and the East Midlands area but many were found much further afield — in Northern Ireland and even Poland.
A number of the axe heads from Langdale were found in wet places — marshes, streams, etc. and showed no sign of having been used. This may indicate that they had been placed in significant spots as some kind of religious offering.
A word of warning: this site is high up and on unstable slopes of loose rock, making it a dangerous place. Not one for a family outing. And please note that it is against the law to remove anything from this site.
Factory Butte is a 6,302-foot summit in the Upper Blue Hills in northern Wayne County, Utah, United States, about 12 miles northwest of Hanksville and about 14 miles east of Capitol Reef National Park boundary. The approach and the base of Factory Butte are made of the clay/silt mudstone of the Mancos rock type, which erodes into sharp rills, deep gullies and badland-type rock (fine-grained clay/mud). The crown of the Butte is Mesa Verde sandstone, which erodes into sheer vertical cliffs.
I decided to take a break from posting images from my recent trip to Edisto Island because after 3 weeks of processing somewhat similar images they don't appear fresh to my eyes. In the meantime, here is a nice sunset from Factory Shoals Park in Newton County, Georgia, USA. I almost missed this sunset because it looked like the sky was going grey and I had packed up my gear to hike out. Had to scramble to get a composition before the colors faded.

While chasing birds in the park, I almost entered this forbidden area. I was 20 feet away from it. And it looked like a giant duffle bag.
在公園追鳥的時候，差點誤闖禁地。這個蜂巢離我只有二十呎，遠看好像一個又長又大的行李袋。

I found an old shot I took at Childs Park , unedited, so I don't think i've posted it before, :) anyways , I love this set of falls , I hope they will be open to the public sometime in this lifetime again .
Factory Butte is an eye-catching land formation located along Route 24 at Cainville, Wayne County in southeast Utah, USA. It was named by early settlers of this region because of its resemblance to a mill in Provo, Utah. Image taken seven minutes after sunrise, April 27, 2016.
