Day 354. After spending a couple of days feeling under the weather and stuck in the house, I went on a short ride round the local woods with my son. We pass through a farm yard where there was laid out a random collection of rusty bit and pieces. I took a wider shot that's elsewhere on my photosteam, but for this shot I closed in on the rather intriguing pattern and texture of the of this old rusty implement that I guess was used to turn the soil on the field.

The Allis-Chalmers Company of West Allis, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee. This great company was one of the pioneers of the industrial age in America and around the globe. Allis-Chalmers built the engines that ran our factories: in 1900, they were perhaps the largest maker of steam engines in the world. Over time, they expanded into almost every type of engine and machine, using the slogan “Ours the Four Powers: Steam, Gas, Water, Electricity.” The company made everything from giant turbines for power plants to the more familiar orange farm tractors. Allis-Chalmers was a continuous inventor and innovator in these fields.

Also, diese Geschichte von meinem Benutzer ("Besitzer" würden wahrscheinlich die meisten sagen, aber das trifft es irgendwie nicht) hat mich schon sehr traurig gemacht – traurig und betroffen.
Nun könnte man sagen: "Tja, so ist das Leben halt." Und auch ich habe ja wahrlich nicht nur Schönes auf Papier gebannt. Ganz besonders traurig und betroffen gemacht hat mich die Rolle, die ich angeblich spielte: Denn sie stimmt einfach nicht. Es ist völlig abwegig, dass ich einen Menschen, der vor mir sitzt, höhnisch oder gar feindselig anschauen würde. Ganz im Gegenteil, ich habe ihn damals aufmunternd angeschaut mit all meinen Tastenreihen – aufmunternd und auch auffordernd. Denn es war ganz klar: Wenn er es noch einmal versucht hätte, sich nur noch einmal aufgerafft hätte – wie von selbst hätten seine Finger die richtigen Tasten getroffen. Aber…
Doch nicht nur meine Rolle in jener Geschichte wurde falsch wiedergegeben, auch die Geschichte selbst war nicht wirklich zu Ende.
Nachdem mein Benutzer (hier muss ich eigentlich schon sagen: "ehemaliger Benutzer", denn ich wurde in irgendeinen Schrank geräumt und vegetierte nutzlos vor mich hin) für einige Zeit einem neuen und wie er selber fand reichlich sinnlosen Broterwerb nachgegangen war, kam es eines Abends dazu, dass seine Lieblingsnichte ihn dazu brachte, sich für sie eine Geschichte auszudenken. Und die musste er ihr nicht nur einmal erzählen, sondern zweimal, dreimal, viermal… Und dann eine zweite Geschichte. Und eine dritte. Schliesslich wollte sie die Geschichten nicht nur erzählt bekommen, sondern kam ins Lesealter und fragte ihren Onkel, ob er ihr die Geschichten nicht aufschreiben könne. In der Zeit, die er nicht mehr zum Erzählen bräuchte, so argumentierte sie mit kindlicher Logik und Schläue, könne er sich neue ausdenken. Und so holte er mich aus dem Schrank, stellte mich wieder auf den mir so wohlvertrauten Tisch und begann, die Geschichten zu tippen. Und weil viele Blätter nur vielleicht halb voll wurden, entschied er sich, die leeren Plätze mit kleinen Zeichnungen zu füllen. So entdeckte er ein Talent neu, das er vor vielen, vielen Jahren als Schüler gehabt und selbst schon lange vergessen hatte. Und eines dieser nur für seine Nichte entstandenen Bücher fiel eines Tages ihrer Patentante in die Hände. Und diese Patentante war Lektorin in einem Verlag.
So kam es, dass aus dem frustrierten Redakteur und zwischenzeitlichen Sachbearbeiter schliesslich ein gefragter Kinderbuchautor wurde. Ich darf nach Herzenslust wieder meiner Lieblingsbeschäftigung nachgehen, genau wie seine vielen Notizbücher, von denen er für spontane Ideen immer eines in der Tasche hat.

(Note: Most of Secretary‘s little stories are self-contained. This one, however, is an exception and a continuation of flic.kr/p/2pAVoG3.)
Now, this story about my user ("owner" is probably the word most people would use, but somehow that's not quite accurate) made me very sad – sad and distraught.
Now you could say: "Well, that's just life." And I, too, have certainly captured not only nice things on paper. I was particularly saddened and istraught by the role I allegedly played in it: because it's simply not true. It is completely absurd that I would look at a person sitting in front of me with a sneer or even hostility. On the contrary, I looked at him encouragingly with my array of keys - encouragingly and also urgingly. Because it was quite clear: if he had tried one more time, if he had pulled himself together just one more time - his fingers would have struck the right keys as if by magic. However, …
But it wasn't just my role in that story that was wrongly described, the story itself wasn't really over yet, either.
After my user (here I should actually say "former user", because I was stowed in a cabinet somewhere and vegetated uselessly) had pursued a new and, as he himself found, rather meaningless occupation for some time, one evening his favorite niece persuaded him to make up a story for her. And he had to tell it to her not just once, but twice, trice, a four time... And then a second story. And a third. Eventually, she didn't just want the stories to be told to her. She reached reading age and asked her uncle if he could write them down for her. During the time he no longer needed to tell the stories, she argued with childlike logic and cleverness, he could make up new ones. So, he took me out of the cabinet, placed me back on the table that was so familiar to me and started typing up the stories. And because many pages ended up about half full, he decided to fill the empty spaces with small illustrations. Such he rediscovered a talent that he had had as a pupil many, many years ago and which he had long forgotten about himself. And one day, one of these books written just for his niece fell into the hands of her godmother. And this godmother was an editor at a publishing house.
And so it happened that the frustrated journalist and meanwhile clerk eventually became a sought-after children's book author. I can pursue my favorite pastime again to my heart's content, just like his many notebooks, one of which he has always in his pocket for spontaneous ideas.

Former tractors, harvester, and other farm implements.
Camera: Beacon Two-Twenty-Five, a low-end 1950s plastic camera with a 70mm doublet lens. The focus is fixed and ranges from about 5 1/2 feet to infinity. The shutter, at around 1/50 second, is best for daylight shots, but even small movements (such as the horse's ear) can result in blur. Overall, the camera is quite fun to shoot and I was very pleased at the quality of image produced by the doublet lens. The camera is called the "Two-Twenty-Five" because it produces 2.25-inch square images.
A fascinating history of the company which produced the Beacon can be found at Mike Eckman's website: mikeeckman.com/2023/07/beacon-two-twenty-five-1950/

On 9th September 2017, as part of the celebration of honoring the courtyards and porridge of the old town of Bauska, the city was presented with a magnificent gift - rose decorations were placed on the "old" walls of the wooden and stone houses of the old town of Bauska.
As Latvia's centenary approached (2018), the association "Meistars Gothards" implemented the project "Let’s bloom together!". As part of the project, the residents of Bauska region were involved in the creative activities, rose decorations of several tens of square meters were embroidered together.
A seguito dell'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS lungo l'asse alpino del San Gottardo le Br185 che DB adoperava abitualmente su questo itinerario dovettero essere distolte dall'abituale servizio per permettere la progressiva installazione dei sistemi necessari. SBB Cargo e DB Schenker siglarono pertanto un accordo commerciale per lo "scambio" di una parte delle proprie dotazioni.
Mentre quindi una decina di Br185 vennero assegnate ai servizi "domestici" delle Ferrovie Federali elvetiche, prevalentemente assegnate al deposito di Zurich Limathal, SBB sostituì fino allo scorso cambio d'orario, le TRAXX tedesche con le proprie locomotive su tutti i convogli che dalla Germania si dirigevano in Ticino ed Italia.
Nella foto la Re4/4.11183 sta proprio trainando sul San Gottardo uno dei convogli forse più indelebilmente associati alle Br185 tedesche, il "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza. (30/10/15)
In the last months the DBS Br185.1s used along the Gotthard route had been withdrawed due to the ETCS implementation.
While some loks were working with SBB in domestic freight activities around Zurih Limathal, some Re10/10 were employed to haul also the DBS international trains from Basel to Chiasso.
Beyond the many mixed freight from Mannheim, also the "Winnerzug" Wuppertal-Piacenza had been entrusted to the Swiss loks.
Here the Re4/4.11183 and a Re6/6 are running just before the Biaschina Loops heading the southbound train. (30/10/15)
On a sunny morning, CSXT SD70MAC #4705 flies at 60MPH under the QD-103 raised NYC signals in Lake City, Pennsylvania. Within the past few years, CSXT, as well as a handful of other railroads, have implemented "precison railroading" which bassically means that the railroad is bastardizing itself. With that being said, CSX has been replacing the power that was half decent to crappy GEVO's and conjoing trains to make them unbelievably long and heavy. Along with all of those other changes, it doesn't help that most if not all of the signals in the US on Class 1 railroads are/getting replaced.
Erst kam die Fassungslosigkeit, danach die Wut – die blanke, kalte Wut. Mit einem Faustschlag brachte er schliesslich den Empfänger zum Verstummen. Viel hätte nicht gefehlt, und er hätte den Apparat mit einer Armbewegung vom Tisch gefegt.
Es hätte die erste Nachricht seien müssen, vielleicht sogar die einzige überhaupt. Genussvoll hatte er sich alles im Auslandsrundfunk anhören wollen, an seinem lange vorher auserwählten Fluchtort in dieser Bananenrepublik (Wobei: Verdiente irgendein Land diese Bezeichnung mehr als das, das er vor nicht einmal zwei Tagen verlassen hatte?). Genussvoll hatte er sich alles anhören und höchstpersönlich für die Nachwelt bewahren wollen, ganz entspannt bei seinem Lieblingswhisky. Doch es war nichts gekommen, kein einziges Wort. Nur der übliche, belanglose Einheitsbrei von aufgebauschten Nichtigkeiten.
Die Behörden, das war ihm sofort klar gewesen, nachdem er sich wieder halbwegs gefasst hatte, hatten die Berichterstattung unterdrückt, wie sie es ja auch sonst mit allem wirklich Wichtigen taten. Doch lange würde sich das nicht durchhalten lassen. Spätestens in einigen Stunden, vielleicht schon in der nächsten Sendung, würde es kommen, würde es kommen MÜSSEN und dann auch die Schlagzeilen der Zeitungen beherrschen und alle Fernsehkanäle sowieso, gar keine Frage. Und die Nachrichtenticker der Agenturen würden es in alle Welt tragen.
Ein Gedanke kam ihm in seiner Grossartigkeit gar nicht: Dass er einen Fehler gemacht und der Sprengsatz schlicht nicht detoniert seien könnte.

First came bewilderment, then rage - sheer, cold rage. He finally silenced the receiver with a punch. It wouldn't have taken much and he would have swept the apparatus off the table with a wave of his arm.
It should have been the first news, perhaps even the only one. He had wanted to enjoy listening to everything on the foreign radio, in his long previously chosen place of escape in this banana republic (although did any country deserve this description more than the one he had left less than two days ago?) He had wanted to enjoy listening to everything and personally preserve it for later generations, all relaxed over his favorite whisky. But nothing had come of it, not a single word. Just the usual, irrelevant mishmash of puffed-up trivialities.
The authorities, he had realized immediately after he had regained some composure, had suppressed the reporting, as they did with everything else that was really important. But it wouldn't be possible to keep this up for long. In a few hours at the latest, perhaps in the next news program, it would come, it would HAVE to come and then dominate the headlines of the newspapers and all the TV channels as well, no question about it. And the news tickers of the agencies would carry it all over the world.
One thought never occurred to him in his grandiosity: that he might have made a mistake and the bomb might simply not have detonated.

Bagan formerly Pagan is an ancient city from the 9th to 13th centuries,. The city was the capital of Myanmar. Bagan is one of Myanmar’s main attractions. It was the capital of Bagan empire, where Theravada Buddhism was the main religion. The area also known as the Bagan Archaeological Zone, occupies an impressive 26-sq-mile area. Marco Polo described Bagan as one of the finest sights in the world. Despite centuries of neglect, looting, erosion, regular earthquakes, not to mention questionable restoration, this temple-studded plain remains a remarkably impressive and unforgettable vision. Bagan’s kings commissioned more than 4000 Buddhist temples. The Ananda temple we visisted is considered to be one of the most surviving masterpiece of the Mon architecture. This impressive temple has also been titled the Westminster Abbey of Burma. Also known as the finest, largest, best preserved and most revered of the Bagan temples. During the 1975 earthquake, Ananda suffered considerable damage but has been totally restored. It is said to have been built around 1105 by King Kyanzittha.
Located just east of the city walls of Old Bagan, Ananda Pahto was the first of the great temples at Bagan and is one of the most largest and most beautiful. This symmetrical masterpiece was built around 1105 AD by a king inspired by tales of visiting Indian monks. The legend saying that there were 8 monks who arrived one day to the palace begging for alms. They told the king that once, they had lived in the Nandamula Cave temple in the Himalayas. The King was fascinated by the tales and invited the monks to return to his palace. The monks with their meditative powers they showed the king the mythical landscape of the place they have been. King Kyanzittha was overwhelmed by the sight and had a desire for building a temple which would be cool inside in the middle of the Bagan plains. After the construction of the Ananda temple, the king executed the architects just to make the style of the temple so unique. The whole architectural ornamentation is implemented in stucco-carving. Beautiful interior Buddha Statues can be seen in the niches from birth to death depicted in the passage. A Buddhist temple with bright, white cream-colored walls. Photo of a meditating monk holding alm bowl for donation in the corridor of the Ananda temple.
De stad Bagan is één van de vroegere hoofdsteden van Myanmar, en is gesticht in het jaar 849. Het was de hoofdstad van het Bagan-rijk, waar het Theravada-boeddhisme het belangrijkste geloof was. Bagan is één van de absolute top bezienswaardigheden van Myanmar. Een reis naar Myanmar zonder tussenstop in Bagan is gewoonweg ondenkbaar. Bagan wordt niet voor niets vaak op één lijn geplaatst met Angkor. Bagan, dat is 42 km² bezaaid met tempels. Er zijn er meer dan 4400 in totaal. Dat is waanzinnig veel. Ondanks dat deze rijkdom al lang is verdwenen worden er tegenwoordig nog steeds nieuwe tempels bijgebouwd. In 1975 zijn er echter veel tempels afgebroken bij een grote aardbeving in Myanmar en vandaag de dag zijn nog steeds niet alle gebouwen hersteld. Tijdens ons bezoek aan Bagan huurden we fietsen. We fietsen langs alle bijzondere boeddhistische tempels in Bagan. De Ananda tempel is een prachtige tempel die wel eens de Westminster Abbey van Myanmar wordt genoemd. Behalve omwille van zijn sublieme architectuur, is de tempel ook gekend omwille van de 4 gigantische gouden staande boeddhabeelden, eentje voor elke windrichting. Hier moet je vooral komen bij volle maan tussen half december en half januari. Want dan wordt er een driedaags religieus festival gehouden waar duizenden boeddhistische pelgrims op afkomen. De grote boeddhistische tempel heeft heldere, crèmekleurige muren. De muren zijn versierd met gevels, kroonlijsten, halfzuilen en raamlijsten. Tijdens de aardbeving van 1975, leed Ananda tempel aanzienlijke schade, maar is volledig hersteld. Foto van een mediterende monnik met een kom voor aalmoezen in de passage van de tempel.
These Golden Axe skeletons are pretty awesome. Aside from the fact that they're based on my favorite Genesis game, they have a myriad of uses in the photos. They can be implemented for fantasy, horror, and even as skeletal remains.

This doodlebug started its life as a 1933 Chevrolet coupe, but a farm in northern Indiana transformed into the farm implement you see here . It is tentatively going to be restored.
Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Excerpt from www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/miyajima/temples...:
Its bare appearance may not intrigue you at first. Only unfinished walls and a hundred pillars. Although the building is pretty, there is something missing. But once inside, look up: the gigantic ceiling is covered with a mosaic of paintings whose subjects are as varied as the styles and periods of implementation. Medieval battles, Buddhist representations, landscapes and animals in a modern style, the eye does not know where to turn.
Joint implementation of the Spanish architecture team and the Taiwan team. The design team uses marine elements to outline the appearance of the building. Its unique shape is meant to showcase the building as an international and landmark structure.(from official website)

I went to the museum last weekend with some friends who were visiting. You know what struck me, more than any other detail? How interesting the supportive structures are. These bones are of course intriguing, but when I focused on the structures that hold them up… all the structures of display in the museum, in fact… I really saw the whole experience through new eyes.
Preface: I came upon a handmade diving implement left leaning against one of the dumpsters (bins). I was admiring it as it was obviously hand made and a rather ingenious yet simple device. Being one who is interested in material culture I examined the "diver's wand" as to its construction, materials and operation. I photographed it and noticed a woman watching me.
I was rather excited and showed it to her and demonstrated it workings. She proceeded to put two rather nice chairs into the back of her pickup truck.
She was friendly and curious, both about the device and me. She asked questions about me and my purpose for photographing junk. I asked if she would mind practicing a bit of diving with the wand, so that I might get some photos of its operation, but she declined. She did however offer to take photos of me, so I accepted.
We staged several photos with me holding the wand, which consisted of a hollow iron tube (a sleeve) with two stationary hooks attached to the far end. An iron rod was inserted through the sleeve. At the terminal (business) end of the rod was a single hook, while the other (operator's) end sported a bent handle with a hand made sewn and braided leather grip. These features are best seen in Frame 2. By sliding the rod back and forth through the sleeve one is able to grasp and secure items of varying sizes and at different depths or distances.
Frame 1: I proceeded to the closest dumpster, it was fairly empty, but in the bottom I noted some office supplies and a few books. I poked around a bit and got a feel for the diving device. I became rather excited when I saw "A Field Guide to the Stars and Planets" and with very little effort was able to extract the hard-cover book from the trash.
Frame 2: Ascertaining the condition of the book. Someone had taken very good care of it, I would describe the condition as good to excellent. The paper cover was slightly warn and there was a very small stain or two on the hard cover. In ink on the inside jacket cover was written a price, $8.95.
Frame 3: Same dumpster, a Hardcover edition of Margaret Mead, Blackberry Winter.
Frame 4: Pocketing the booty. A satisfying score.
Afterward: I wondered why someone would throw these books into the dumpster instead of placing them on the reuse platform just 15 feet away.
I retrieved my camera from the interim photographer and we talked a bit, sharing TS observations, and philosophies. I then walked to the homeless camp and asked the occupant if the hook belonged to him. It did not, he claimed, so I returned it to the spot I had found it. Surely it's owner would be back.
A short time later I saw another woman employing the hooking device. I asked her if that was her hook, she said no and asked me if it was mine. I said no, but I had seen it resting against the other dumpster. She said yes, that's where she had found it. I asked her if she planned to keep it and she said "yes, I like it." I said, "but it doesn't belong to you." She replied, "If I don't take it, someone else will."
So that was the end of it. I'm sure she detected my displeasure. It wasn't always that way around here. You could pass an item in the same place for a week or a month or all winter before someone came by and claimed it. Now it guess it's "finder's keepers..."
