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.
Boar Mill Cottage has it all; comfort, history, intrigue and a story to tell. As a former bakery, the three-bedroom stone cottage is teeming with quirky original features from the old bread oven in the dining room to remnants of the bakers’ implements still in the cottage. It sits in the shadows of the towering Corfe Castle in its eponymous village.

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.

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.
This is a small sample of old farm implements preserved in perfect condition!

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/

In spite of reduced traffic in the Southern Tier, Conrail implemented a comprehensive track improvement program in 1992. Double stack train 253 is seen on October 8 negotiating bridge work at East Corning, as the morning fog begins to lift over the railroad and parallel Route 17.

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.
Today, I’m implementing a new policy that should please some of my Flickr friends.
I have been wearing some of you down with my voluminous series. Today, that stops.
Oh, I’m not going to quit telling stories, just not on Flickr. Here, I’ll post one photo of a bird, animal, place, or subject at a time, along with a link to my blog, where I’ll put the story and additional related photos. The links will take you out of Flickr for a moment, but you can easily return from my blog by clicking the return link there.

Perhaps no one will elect to go to the blog. At least, however, folks will have a better opportunity to do what I think most Flickr users want to do: quickly pop in to see what a Flickr friend is seeing, then quickly move on to the next....
If you have any feedback on this notion, I’d love to hear it....
Cheers! Have a great day! 😊

Due a relatively high demand for local grain throughout the late summer months, OneRail have been operating several services South-East of Adelaide to Tailem Bend and Wolseley. On some days, a second divison service has been implemented to help cope with the demand. In this image, 1283S empty grain train to Tailem Bend heads through Mile End with GWA007/ALF24/CLF6/G535 in the early evening light on the 12th of February 2021.
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..."
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Tung_Uk_Museum:
The Sam Tung Uk Museum is a museum restored from Sam Tung Uk (三棟屋; 'three-beam-dwelling', which describes the original floorplan), a Hakka walled village in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.
It was built by a Chan (陳) clan under the leadership of the clan patriarch, Chan Yam-shing, in 1786 during the Qing dynasty. The Chan clan was originally from Fujian; they had moved to Guangdong, and then to Hong Kong to engage in farming. The site has been carefully restored and opened to the public as a museum.
Sam Tung Uk was vacated in April 1980 and declared a historic monument in March 1981. The Hong Kong government funded its restoration and converted it into a museum between 1986 and 1987. The restoration work won the Pacific Heritage Award of the Pacific Asia Tourist Association in 1990.
The entrance, assembly and ancestral halls, and twelve of the original houses are preserved. Other rooms have been modified to accommodate a reception area, an orientation room, an exhibition hall, a museum office, and a lecture theatre. The agricultural implements and everyday objects of Hakka village life are on permanent display. The main exhibition hall at the far end of the building complex changes its displays approximately every six months. Documentation of the restoration process is on display in Orientation Room.

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.
The most advanced agricultural tool known in the New World before the coming of the Europeans was the Andean footplough, also known as the Chakitaqlla or simply taklla. It evolved from the digging stick and combined three advantages: metal point, curved handle, and footrest.] No other indigenous tool utilized the pressure of the foot in digging up the sod which made it different from all farming implements known elsewhere in the Americas in pre-Columbian times. Although Chakitaqlla is a relatively simple instrument, it has persisted long after more sophisticated technology was introduced into the Central Andes, and its enduring presence demonstrates that more advanced innovations do not necessarily displace primitive forms that under certain conditions may be more efficient.
Flickr's slowness and much more ...
We all that are protesting, we all love flickr, if not it would be very easy to leave and migrate towards another site...
And we all will migrate if the new layout will be implemented without option, boycotting Yahoo and everything related to it !
Here another initiative, you can sign this:
and divulgate it.
-----------------------
Lentezza di Flickr e molto altro ancora ....
Tutti noi che stiamo protestando amiamo Flickr, se così non fosse sarebbe molto semplice per noi migrare verso altri siti...
E lo faremo se il nuovo layout proposto verrà implementato senza opzioni, boicottando Yahoo e tutto ciò che a esso è collegato !
Qui un'altra inziativa, potete firmare questa
e divulgarla.
----------------------
Ed ecco un'altra cosa interessante:
perché Flickr è molto lento e perché sono aumentate drasticamente le visite e con quale scopo?

Palacio de los Arias en nuestra ciudad. El cual el pasado enero de 2023, el Ayuntamiento de Molina de Aragón tomó la controvertida decisión de llevar a cabo una demolición controlada del edificio histórico que alguna vez fue un orgullo arquitectónico para la comunidad. Esta medida, que pretendía conservar únicamente la fachada, marca un triste hito en la gestión del patrimonio cultural de la localidad. La inclusión en la lista roja de Hispania Nostra, una organización dedicada a la defensa del patrimonio, no hace más que confirmar la crítica situación en la que se encuentra. La decisión de realizar una demolición controlada, aunque se argumente en la necesidad de garantizar la seguridad, plantea preguntas incómodas sobre la efectividad de las medidas de conservación implementadas hasta ahora. ¿Cómo es posible que un edificio llegue a tal punto de deterioro sin intervenciones preventivas significativas por parte de las autoridades competentes?
