Mizoram is a picturesque destination for the perceptive visitor with its wide display of dances & festivals, handlooms and handicrafts, flora and fauna, breathtaking natural beauty and temperate climate. The general belief is that the Mizos migrated from China about three hundred years ago, in search of new territory and settled in these remote hills which were earlier known as Lushai Hills.
The term ‘Mizo’ is deriving from two words- ‘Mi’ means man and ‘Zo’ means hills. Today Mizoram consist of a population of over five Lakh who identify themselves as ‘Mizo’.
The Mizos are friendly and hospitable.
The people are simple, happy, carefree, contented, generous and freedom-loving.
Music plays a key role in uniting and strengthening the bond between the Mizo people. The joyful enthusiasm and companionable spirits of the common people have truly made them the real songbirds of this exotic hill station.
The Flatiron Building is a half-timbered house in the Old Town Hattingens in the southern Ruhr area. Today the name accommodates a home museum of the club devoted to the maintenance of local regional traditions and characteristics.
1611 built houses comes from his striking form (Bügeleisengebäude) which is owed again of the situation in the meeting of two lanes.
The Hattinger citizen Wilhelm Elling let the building establish in 1611. He was presumably a businessman.
In 1620 a cultivation occurred in the side. The well coming from this time is six metres deep. The building is built.
From 1771 to 1856 lived here the cloth doers who produced on her handlooms to cloth for ladies' clothing and man's clothing as well as for uniforms. The last cloth doer in this house was Franz Sindern.
In 1853 the Jewish butcher Salomon Schmidt acquired the house and allowed to alter it. He furnished a butchery, a sausage kitchen and a small store in the house. Beside the front door a shop window was inserted in the classicistic style, the other windows were increased, a stairwell was inserted and not grown in the side a small horse stable (any more available).
In 1874 the Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt transferred to her daughter Amalie and their husband, the butcher Nathan Cahn, the whole property incl. building.
Their descendants, Selma and Alfred Abraham, were expropriated in 1941 by the National Socialists, were deported and murdered, you were the last Jewish owner of the house.
The house became in 1945 of the Jewish trust corporation (JTC), as a legal successor, back-transferred. This sold it later to the city of Hattingen.

Project 365 - Take one photo each day.
I share my birthplace, Dunfermline, with one Andrew Carnegie the famous steel magnate and philanthropist.
Carnegie was born here in 1835 into a handloom weaving family. Dunfermline has a rich history in the textile industry. In fact, Queen Elizabeth II's wedding dress material was made at the Erskine Beveridge linen damask factory, St Leonard's Mill, which was established in 1851. Erskine Beveridge himself was a keen photographer and a book of his fascinating photographs is now available from bookshops including Amazon.
Dunfermline was also once the the ancient seat of Scotland's royalty.
Carnegie's family borrowed money and emigrated to the USA in 1848 to find a better quality of life, and from there he went from strength to strength, eventually becoming the second richest man in the world, afer J.D. Rockeffeler. Carnegie gifted over $350m (equivalent to around $5bn today) in his lifetime. His name lives on today in the many dozens of charitable trusts he established, in the Carnegie libraries around the world (the first one being in Dunfermline), the Carnegie Hall (both of them - New York and Dunfermline), and of course Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh.
Today, the tiny cottage in which he was born and lived during the early part of his life, as seen here, is home to the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum and Hall of Philanthropy.
In 1902, Carnegie bought Pittencrieff House and Estate. Its lands include the rugged glen which interrupts the centre of Dunfermline and the original site of Malcolm's Tower - after Malcolm Canmore (Malcom III of Scotland), who shifted the centre of government from Forteviot to Dunfermline in the mid 11th century.
Carnegie gifted the entire estate to the people of Dunfermline.
Its formal name is "Pittencrieff Park" but locals refer to it, with great affection, as "The Glen". Many shots on my stream have been taken in The Glen, such as this one, and this one. It is one of my favourite places and dear to the hearts of the local people. The splendid iron gates leading in to the park were gifted by Carnegie's wife, Louise, and as a result they are known as The Louise Carnegie Gates. The Glen is maintained to this day by the Dunfermline Carnegie Trust, a charitable trust founded in 1903.
The official website of the museum is here.

The threads can be of our experiences, our thoughts, our feelings etc etc and what comes out is the cloth of one's self...
Seen here is an old loom from one of the pit stops from day trip of Scotland last year in August.

Power Looms are steadily replacing the Handloom weavers in Varanasi. Not only are they eating into the handloom industries market but also into the livelihoods of the skilled weavers. These cheap low quality imitations have adulterated the handicraft industry and left the weavers in great despair and struggle to make ends meet.
Handloom - It takes roughly about 2 days to make a saree through this method and involves a labour of 4 - 5 people . #indianvisuals #travelphotography #traveldiaries #indianvillage #coimbatore #textile #textiledesign #handloomsarees #handlooms #leica #leicastoresingapore #leicamp240 #incredibleindia
Akram, a handloom weaver who has been weaving his dreams in this factory for past twelve years. But this industry is now on the verge of ruin due to high prices of raw materials, shortage of capital inflow and competitive substitutes. As a consequence many handloom workers have been forced to leave their professions just to survive. Experts suggest the industry can be saved if the government makes provisions for easy loans. Nearly 10 years ago about 2000 handloom machines had been engaged in use but now the number has declined to half. Akram doesn't know whether he can carry on with his dreams in this journey or not. But he's optimistic and so am I.

In Bangladesh we have several districts which are famous for producing cloth using handlooms. Narayangonj is one of those. This district is famous for producing finely knitted Gamchha, Lungi, and Shari using handlooms. This unique craft work is diminishing after having a competition with the mechanical industries. That’s why I wanted to visit how they do it before it vanishes forever.

মিজোরা বন্ধুত্বপূর্ণ এবং অতিথিপরায়ণ। জনগণ সরল, সুখী, উদাসীন, সন্তুষ্ট, উদার ও স্বাধীনতাকামী। মিজো জনগণের মধ্যে বন্ধনকে একত্রিত ও শক্তিশালী করতে সঙ্গীত একটি মুখ্য ভূমিকা পালন করে। সাধারণ মানুষের আনন্দময় উদ্দীপনা এবং সহানুভূতিশীল আত্মা তাদের সত্যিকার অর্থেই এই বিচিত্র হিল স্টেশনের প্রকৃত গানের পাখিতে পরিণত করেছে।

Halifax
The Piece Hall is a Grade I listed building in Halifax town centre. It was built as a cloth hall for handloom weavers to sell the woollen cloth 'pieces' they had produced. A 'piece' being a 30 yard length of cloth. It opened on 1 January 1779, it has 315 separate rooms arranged around a central open courtyard. When factories started up in the early nineteenth century the trade in handwoven wool declined so in 1815 the rules were changed to allow the sale of cotton goods.
In the 1970's I believe it was only one council vote away from being demolished. It was saved and reopened with several shops and an open air market, it was also home to the tree at Christmas. Over time the shops closed as the business rates were more than small independent retailers could afford.
It closed in January 2014 for a £19 million redevelopment funded by the Lottery (the original build cost £12,000) The work has repaired and conserved the building in keeping with its listed status. The courtyard is now level, previously it had a cobbled and grass slope running from the west gate to the east gate. A three storey extension has also been constructed outside at the south eastern corner of the building, between the Square Church spire site and Square Chapel, among other things this is now home to the library which has been moved across town.
It re-opened on Yorkshire Day, 1st August 2017. The 66,000 square foot open air square is surrounded by bars, restaurants, shops, cafés and creative businesses. There is also be a visual arts gallery, stories of Georgian Halifax are told in the heritage centre. The courtyard has an extensive events programme including music concerts, films, outdoor theatre and dance, sculpture, markets, ice rinks and sporting events.
The blocks at the bottom left of the photo form part of a water feature, because I was there so early it wasn’t switched on. I’m glad I took the photo when I did, an hour or so later and the square was full of people visiting the cafes and shops.
It is the sole survivor of the eighteenth century northern cloth halls.
I should have really posted this image before the previous one, but somehow I got them the wrong way round !!
