The old corn cribs were designed so the equipment can pull through and unload, then the equipment stored over winter for protection. Over the years the corn cribs evolved to outpost garages and junk collections in the fileds.
The Lone Cypress Tree, located along the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Monterey and Carmel, is one of the most iconic landmarks on the California coast. This solitary cypress has withstood the test of time, weathering countless storms and braving the salty sea air for over 250 years.
The tree is believed to have sprouted sometime in the early 1770s, making it one of the oldest living things in the area. Its unique location on a rocky outcropping, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, has made it a popular subject for photographs, paintings, and even logos for the Pebble Beach Company.
The Lone Cypress Tree has become a symbol of resilience and perseverance, standing strong despite the challenges of its harsh environment. It has even survived attempts to remove it from its precarious perch. In the 1940s, the tree was propped up with cables to prevent it from falling into the ocean, and in the 1980s, a replacement tree was planted nearby in case the original finally succumbed to the elements.
But despite its fame and popularity, the Lone Cypress Tree is still a living thing that requires care and attention. In recent years, the tree has faced a number of health challenges, including the effects of climate change and invasive pests. The Pebble Beach Company has taken steps to protect and preserve the tree, including limiting public access to the area around it and implementing conservation measures.

Everything was ok with this photo. I had an idea and I implemented it. I had set up a small candle. Above it (a little raised) laid a newspaper and waited until the flame had fought through the paper. It took me almost a minute to take the picture. The next day I wanted to improve the picture a little and worked on the same principle as the day before. Unfortunately, after one or two seconds, the entire newspaper went up in flames and I had trouble controlling the fire. Thank god I was able to extinguish the fire. I left that with the new picture.
Bei diesem Foto war noch alles ok. Ich hatte eine Idee und die habe ich umgesetzt. Ein kleine Kerze hatte ich aufgestellt. Darüber (etwas erhöht) eine Zeitung gelegt und abgewartet, bis sich die Flamme durch das Papier gekämpft hatte. Das dauerte eine knappe Minute, bis ich das Foto machen konnte. Am nächsten Tag wollte ich das Bild noch eine wenig verbessern und arbeitete nach dem gleichen Prinzip wie am Vortag. Leider ging nach ein- bis zwei Sekunden die komplette Zeitung in Flammen auf und ich hatte Mühe, den Brand unter Kontrolle zu bekommen. Gott sei Dank konnte ich das Feuer löschen. Das mit dem neuen Bild habe ich dann bleiben lassen.

... en mitad de los arrozales se encuentran las conocidas barracas en las que se guardan, hoy en día, los áperos de labranza y, en inmemoriables tiempos incluso servían de vivienda a los campesinos que vivían en durísimas condiciones, siendo víctimas de la malaria provocada por mosquitos que plagaban la zona, y con un alto índice de mortalidad.

A new morning reveals old technology. A hundred years ago, this plow was state-of-the-art technology, but today, it has been repurposed as art on the estate.
HFF!
And now for something completely different. I was struck by the light and shadow on these implements in a mug on the kitchen counter.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

La Torre Arcobaleno si trova a Milano, vicino alla stazione ferroviaria di Porta Garibaldi: è alta 35 metri, è stata costruita nel 1964 e nei suoi primi anni di vita non era ancora nota come “Torre Arcobaleno”, dato che serviva semplicemente come serbatoio per l’acqua da destinare alla stazione. Negli anni Ottanta la torre perse la sua funzione, iniziò a deteriorarsi e si pensò di demolirla. In occasione dei Mondiali di calcio del 1990, giocati in Italia, si decise invece di ristrutturarla: fu rivestita con piastrelle colorate e solo allora prese il suo nome attuale, Torre Arcobaleno. Dopo i Mondiali la Torre Arcobaleno si è nuovamente deteriorata, perdendo molte delle sue piastrelle. Da alcune settimane – e anche grazie a Expo – la Torre è stata un’altra volta ristrutturata: i lavori sono costati circa 100mila euro e hanno permesso di sistemare le circa 100mila piastrelle di 14 diversi colori che ricoprono l’esterno della torre.
The Torre Arcobaleno (Rainbow Tower) is a recognizable mark on the city and emotional landscape of Milan, capital of fashion and design. Founded in 1990 by a group of companies that transformed an anonymous water tower at Porta Garibaldi into a colourful tribute to the creativity of Milan, the Tower has been re-stored and returned to its original splendour. The project, designed by the firm Original Designers 6R5 Network and implemented by Baz-zea-B Construction Technology, Condor, Row Solutions, Mapei and Marazzi, is a tribute to the people of Milan and to Expo 2015 visitors. The Torre Arcobaleno is a renovated symbol of the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Milan, now under the eyes of the world thanks to the Universal Exposition.

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/

CZ: Dne 16. srpna 2025 byl v úseku Postoupky–Kroměříž zachycen "brejlovec" 754.047 v čele vlaku Sp 1783 [Brno hl.n. – Frenštát pod Radhoštěm]. Jednalo se o předposlední spoj v klasické soupravě před vypuknutím rozsáhlé výluky v úseku Nezamyslice–Kojetín–Přerov v rámci realizace 4. a 5. stavby modernizace trati Brno–Přerov. Spoj je v úseku Brno hl.n. – Kojetín (– Kroměříž) veden náhradní autobusovou dopravou, ve zbylém úseku je nasazen motorový vůz řady 842 s dvěma přípojnými vozy Bdtn. S návratem klasické soupravy se počítá po skončení první výluky, přičemž její ukončení bylo stanoveno na 30. ledna 2026.
EN: On August 16, 2025, the 754.047 "brejlovec" was photographed in the Postoupky–Kroměříž section with train Sp 1783 [Brno hl.n. – Frenštát pod Radhoštěm]. This was the penultimate connection in a classic train set before the start of extensive closures in the Nezamyslice–Kojetín–Přerov section as part of the implementation of the 4th and 5th stages of the Brno–Přerov line modernization. The connection is operated by replacement bus transport in the Brno hl.n. – Kojetín section, while a class 842 railcar with two Bdtn trailers is used in the remaining section. The classic train set is expected to return after the end of the first closure on January 31, 2026.
An extreme close up of the working side of a meat tenderiser.
Last week my son and I were making schnitzel. He had the job of bashing the pork loins and he commented that the tenderiser looked like a Cluedo murder weapon: Colonel Mustard, in the kitchen, with the meat tenderiser!

Last summer I shared a story about my magical encounter with a Short-eared Owl and subsequent experiences that taught me a valuable lesson in file storage, disk failure and its ultimate restoration. Files can't always be restored, and it took me more than three years to recover these. I'll never forget my awe when sharing a private moment with this beautiful owl. Even better, I'm so grateful that I have the photos, once again, to remember the details. More about this tale, my 2020 peregrine experience that led me to recover these photos and my lessons learned my blog "Lost and Found and the Shot-eared Owl".

The Scottish architect John Baird was responsible for the design. At that time, he ran a joint architectural office with Alexander Thomson. After the partnership broke up in 1856, Thomson continued the construction which had begun the previous year. On March 22, 1857, the church was opened. The total cost was about £8000.[2]
Caledonia Road Church as built.
In 1963 the church use of Caledonian Road Church ended and the city of Glasgow took over the building. In October 1965, the church burned down after arson and was subsequently partially demolished. Since the 1990s, there have been various plans for the restoration and further use of the building, but these have not been implemented, and only necessary work to stabilise the building was carried out. The risk to the ruin is classified as high.[3]
