One of the oldest operating lighthouses in the World, the tower was built in the 13th century by William Marshall, Earl of Pembrokeshire and has operated as a lighthouse for 800 years.
Prestine Mi-6 Hook at the Deblin Air Force Museum. Didn't realise the Poles operated the Hook until I'd seen this.
this bin was only 2 months old before it was burnt out , was only really used for a month as we got it sandblasted and pained before we started to use it
Sandy Hook Lighthouse
The Sandy Hook Lighthouse, located about one and a half statute miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States. It was designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro.
The light was built to aid mariners entering the southern end of the New York harbor. It was originally called New York Lighthouse because it was funded through a New York Assembly lottery and a tax on all ships entering the Port of New York. Sandy Hook Light has endured an attempt to destroy it (as an aid to British navigation) by artillery Captain Alexander Hamilton,[citation needed] and a subsequent occupancy of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Perhaps most impressively, it has endured exposure to the elements on the end of Sandy Hook. The view of the New York skyline from the bridge crossing into "the Hook" illustrates the importance this light played in the history of New York harbor. During summer weekends, the New Jersey Lighthouse Society offers free tours every half hour from 12:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
When the lighthouse was built in 1764, it stood only 500 feet (150 m) from the tip of Sandy Hook; however, today, due to growth caused by littoral drift, it is almost one and a half miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip. Sandy Hook Lighthouse is part of the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse was restored in spring 2000.

Sandy Hook Lighthouse is located within the fort grounds, as is the Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST), a magnet high school, part of the Monmouth County Vocational School District. At the entrance to Fort Hancock is Guardian Park, a plaza dominated by two Nike missiles. Some of the buildings of Fort Hancock are off-limits because their structural integrity is dubious. A controversial proposal was recently accepted to allow adaptive reuse of some of the buildings in Fort Hancock for private profit.

I was only a young man
In those days. On that evening
The cold was so God damned
Bitter there was nothing.
Nothing. I was in trouble
With a woman, and there was nothing
There but me and dead snow.
I stood on the street corner
In Minneapolis, lashed
This way and that.
Wind rose from some pit,
Hunting me.
Another bus to Saint Paul
Would arrive in three hours,
If I was lucky.
Then the young Sioux
Loomed beside me, his scars
Were just my age.
Ain't got no bus here
A long time, he said.
You got enough money
To get home on?
What did they do
To your hand? I answered.
He raised up his hook into the terrible starlight
And slashed the wind.
Oh, that? he said.
I had a bad time with a woman. Here,
You take this.
Did you ever feel a man hold
Sixty-five cents
In a hook,
And place it
Gently
In your freezing hand?
I took it.
It wasn't the money I needed.
But I took it.
This is what i did while awaited the craft council jury session. : ) My first rug with quilt fabric scraps! I LOVE IT!

Hook-billed Vanga - Vanga curvirostris curvirostris - Крючкоклювая ванга

St Peter's church in Hook Norton is a fine medieval building, Norman in origin (traces remain visible in the chancel) but in appearance belonging mostly to the later Middle Ages with a spacious late 14th century nave and a stately pinnacled Perpendicular west tower from c1500.
The interior is flooded with light, thanks to minimal use of stained glass and white-rendered walls, though we are reminded how different the original effect would have been by the fragmentary 15th century mural over the chancel arch where a pair of angels and male saints (very rustic work) can be seen against a red ground, no doubt originally supporting figures formerly flanking the carved crucifixion group of of the lost rood screen.
The stained glass in the east window is Victorian and nothing special, but that in the south aisle is a far more inspiring piece, a late work by the studio of Morris & Co serving as a WWI memorial.
The most important artefact in the church however is the 11th century font, a cylindrical drum carved with figures in relief, coarse in quality but fascinating in subject, with a group of Adam & Eve with the Tree of Knowledge, followed by several rather pagan-looking figures from the zodiac.

Hook turn intersections are designated by "right turn from left only" signs hanging above the intersection on the cables that hold up the trams' power lines. They also appear on the "safety zone" signs. I'm not sure why the "keep left" arrow is cut out: perhaps it helps tram drivers see if anyone is standing at the tram stop.
Why do we have hook turns? Because if cars waited on the tram tracks to turn right, they'd cause unecessary delays. And we can't build additional lanes without imploding tall buildings. Which, you know.. would be cool and all, but I don't think the people inside would be too happy.

This solid brass coat hook comes from an "old federal building", according to the label on the back.
Being in Chicago, this likely means it originally hung somewhere in Henry Ives Cobb's Chicago Federal Building, demolished in 1965. I imagine dozens of them, lining the hallway of the judges' chambers... or in a cloak room off the lobby. Who knows.
I love the worn patina, the little voids and spots where the molten metal didn't quite fill, and the overall size and heft; it juts out 4" from the base, and stands nearly 5.5" tall. Feels like it's around a pound.
I hope to one day reproduce these in brass - maybe also a darkened bronze. It'd make a killer bathrobe hook, and I could even imagine a row of them, lined up on an exposed brick wall in a garage or barn.
It's a simple, utilitarian design that neither Melissa nor I have seen before. That's saying something, as we've looked at a lot of old hardware. At $25, we just couldn't pass up.
Found over the weekend locally on Craigslist.
today started like any other day, my friends came over, then kit came and picked us up in his range rover, we went skating, his car was fine, until we reached town, I started smelling something that just sucked, I figured it was just the area, we drove on, I saw smoke come out of his air conditioning, I was shotgun, so I started freaking out, I was about to jump out of the car, this is what it looked like after we pulled over and waited for the fire department 1.bp.blogspot.com/_3w2X1xllnUQ/SmuvbnkR1XI/AAAAAAAAA_k/eg... I thought it was going to explode, scary to think I was in the front seat, I would have been dead
here comes the lame part
his car setting on fire is kinda symbolic on how I feel lately, my sleep is getting terrible again, I had 3 chopped up hours of sleep the night before after a really long day, been getting hurt left and right, this woke me up, but I was shaking, calling everyone, even academy telling them I might need a new skateboard because both of mine were in the trunk (which at the time I thought was going to be burnt to a crisp) and to be prepared to hook a brotha up, I was also freaking out because I enhaled a lot of the smoke before we pulled over.

Early c1100 Norman bucket font of oolitic limestone, designed for total immersion , stands on a more recent base. It has a lead lining, and a recent fixed wooden surround on the upper surface
Round the upper part of the bowl, within a border, is a beaded wavy line (snakes ?) with foliage at intervals on either side and a half lozenge underneath. Round the lower part, within a border, is a series of roundels with circular medallions.
The figures show Adam and Eve (ADAM and EVA inscribed on their chests in mixed Roman and Lombardic capitals) , the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and signs of the Zodiac (Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) , Aquarius & Aries)
Adam has a spade in his right hand and a rake held up in his left hand. Eve, who has plaited hair, holds an apple in her right hand and a fig leaf in her left.
Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) the archer portrayed as a centaur, with the body, hind legs and tail of a horse and human torso, is turned away from Aquarius, but the upper, human part is looking back and holds a bow with a short arrow, which he is about to discharge. This combination suggests Sagittarius as the champion of all that is right and good, driving away the evil influence as represented by the flood which would destroy the world, released by Aquarius (the water carrier) who has a hooked stick over his shoulder with 2 water-bags hanging from it, and carries an axe in front of him., The destructive character of the water of the flood is thus contrasted with the regenerative power of the water of baptism.
Aries is typical of the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world. He is standing on a flat pedestal and below this is a tree with foliage extending on either side from the top of the trunk, suggesting the tree of life. The remaining figure is Serpens, represented as a two headed serpent, with one head biting the other. This is a symbol o f the powers of evil which war against one another and bring about their own destruction. (or possibly the symbol of eternity)

Osprey.. yup not an Eagle :) Hooks down coming into its nest. Taken at Sandy Hook NJ... which I hope is still there? What a special place.
Thanks for looking,

Another in the series for a commission. Hook was painted with my super-secret-stash of g1 devy green and purple. I decked him out with loads of details and added a working chain for the crane's hook.
