At this site, more than 1,000 years ago, the lines of the first Norwegian laws were drawn up. Which in turn led to Norway being united into one kingdom, under one king.
It's an old grinding stone of my best friend named "Multi Dremel" ;-)
Now, i will throw it in trash. The theme is done and i need space in my garage :-)
HMM!

This massive boulder is a grinding stone used by the Native Americans.

Bolehill Quarry, Longshaw Estate, near Hathersage, UK. The quarry was worked extensively between 1901 and 1915 for stone to build Derwent and Howden Reservoirs plus produced grinding stones for the Sheffield Cutlery Industry. Disgarded stones can be found around the site, which is now returned to nature with grassland and silver birch trees.

In the harsh sun light of an otherwise Goan monsoon day a woman from the tribal lands of Karnataka stirs up a pail of coconut shavings to pound them in a large stone mortar and pestle that she holds in the other hand.
Goa is more known for its beaches, tanned flesh, food and carnevale then for its salt. Here right next to Panjim, salt making goes on in the summer months. I guess since no tourists arrive here during that period, no one even mentions the existence of these historic mines which work on the principle of solar evaporation of the saline water that reaches up the Mandovi in the summer months.
In Goa, during the months of summer, nothing moves, not even the breeze, it is hot and sultry and almost impossible to think. The famous beaches are not happening as the water is so murky and full of churning that the currents are vicious.
The only activity that seems to occur during this hottest part of the year in Goa is the making of Salt and living life and dreaming of the monsoon to break and bring the rains.

I saw several of these throughout the estate and even though I think they are stones for a grist mill, I could be wrong. If anyone thinks differently, let me know. One was used as a table, one in a floor, and this one on a rock path.

•Clare ANZ Bank. This imposing classical style bank was opened in 1877 for the English, Scottish and Australian Bank. It cost £4,000 to build and the architect was Adelaide based Daniel Garlick who did architectural work on a Clare Hotel and the old Clare brewery too. Daniel Garlick was known for his mastery of classical Greek features and this building displays great symmetry and proportions, fancy entablature around the windows and doors, roof pediment and balustrade, pilasters and key stones above doors and windows. The building uses a local stone with cement rendered quoins and horizontal bands to delineate sections of the two storey structure.

Long Disused Quarry below Mother Cap, and above Surprise View Car Park, near Hathersage, UK. Disgarded grinding stones can be seen here.
Even if I’m not well enough to go outside I can find much inspiration amongst my things. This stone is gorgeous in its functionality, texture and style.
Metates at Wupatki Pueblo. These grinding stones were used by Native Americans of Sinagua culture from about 1180 A.D. until 1250 A.D. Wupatki Natinal Monument. Coconino Co., Arizona.
This was a bracketed shot blended in PS and then converted in Silver EFEX. I then took it to Texture Effects for textures, light leaks, duotoning, border, cracks and scratches etc. Then back to PS for some basic adjustments
Curbar Edge
One of several Gritstone Edges in Derbyshire and part of the Dark Peak (or High Peak) area which is the higher northern part of the Peak District located in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
The Dark Peak is so called because (in contrast to the White Peak), the underlying limestone is covered by a cap of Millstone Grit. This gritstone covering means that in the winter months the soil is almost always saturated with water.
The land is largely uninhabited moorland plateaux where almost any depression is filled with sphagnum bogs and black peat.
Curbar Edge sits above the village of Curbar, at the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park, and is part of an almost continuous line of Edges (cliffs) running from Stanage Edge at the northern end down to Birchen Edge at the southern end.
These gritstone Edges dominate the Derwent valley and walking along them provides stunning views of the Derwent valley and further afield.
I approached, by car from Curbar village, via a steep uphill climb through the impressive and picturesque Curbar Gap, which divides Curbar Edge from Baslow Edge.
At the top of the hill, there is a car park and from there it’s just a short and easy walk to the southern end of Curbar Edge.
Once the Edge is reached Its easy walking and the views across the surrounding countryside and toward the Chatsworth Estate beyond are stunning.
All the Derbyshire edges are popular with climbers and Curbar Edge is no exception.
Curbar Edge runs from the Curbar Gap for seven miles until it joins Froggatt Edge.

Millstones
Evidence of the past can be seen in these abandoned millstones.
In the 19th century, the edge was quarried for these grinding stones.
The ones that remain were carved but never removed when the quarries closed.

Ahjumawi Lava Springs is the least-visited state park in California. It's a great place to canoe and kayak because it's boat-in camping only, and there are lots of Native American things to explore.
I shot with with a Canon Elan 7 loaded with Fuji Velvia 50 film and I stacked a 3-stop hard GND with a 2-stop soft to keep the sun from completely blowing out the image.
•Former AMP Society Building. This fine stone building was built for the AMP Society in 1917. It is classified by the National Trust because of its unusual architectural features. It has some classical Greek elements- the triangular and curved pediments across the top of the building, and the long columns- five, down the façade, and the laurel motifs around the circular features in the triangular pediments above the main doors. It has some Art Nouveau features - the curvaceous scrolls on the tops and bottoms of the five “classical” style columns. It has some Art Deco features with the vertical stone “fans” which contrast with the horizontal stone work for the overall building. Unfortunately there are some tacky wooden supports in the ground floor window frames.

Metate and Mano at Aztec Ruins. This pueblo was built by Native Americans in the 11th century and occupied through the late 13th century. It may originally have been an outlying part of the Chaco Canyon culture that later evolved into the center of its own extended community. Aztec Ruins National Monument. San Juan County, New Mexico.
This giant stone was used by the St. Lawrence Starch Company, which was built in Port Credit in 1889. The company was a corn wet milling factory; the first steep of corn was ground and then the starch was dried. St. Lawrence Starch ceased operations in March of 1990.

Ruins of Pueblo at Chimney Rock. This room served as a food-preparation area. The vertical rock slabs around the metates were splash guards to prevent bits of nuts and seeds from flying off during the process of grinding. Chimney Rock National Monument. San Juan National Forest. Archuleta Co., Colo.
Very unusual photograph in our Poole Collection. While not taken on 6 January, the copy was executed by Poole on this day in 1908, so feel justified in using it for our Pic of the Day. The copy was ordered by a Mr J. Farrell of Ballyknock, New Ross, Co. Wexford.
We're presuming that it's relatives of the Farrell family who had emigrated to America...
As always with unknown locations, would dearly love to know where this photo was taken, but especially so that we could make landfall on the U.S. with our NLI Flickr Commons map!
Date: 6 January 1908 (date copy made)
