In der Stille und Abgeschiedenheit seines kleinen Zimmers einer kleinen Pension mit augenblicklich nur einem (und für diese Saison letzten) Gast ordnet der Sekretär die Ereignisse und Erinnerungen des Tages und fühlt sich dabei fast wie ein Mönch in seiner klösterlichen Zelle…

In the silence and seclusion of his small room in a small guesthouse with only (and for this season last) guest, Secretary sorts out the events and memories of the day, feeling almost like a monk in his monastic cell...
This vintage Catapiller sits on display at the Guy Goodwin Education Center in Carrizo Plain national Monument, San Luis Obispo County, California. Cattle were brought to the grasslands of the Carrizo Plain by the early 1850s. The next big change came when dryland grain farmers started homesteading in the valley. Eventually vast amounts of the grassland was put to the plow. The farm work was orignally all done with horse drawn euipment but eventually tractors like this one did the heavy work. The Carrizo Plain gets only 8 to 10 inches of rainfall a year on average but the amount during any given year can be highly unpredictable. The risk of crop failure due to insufficient moisture became to great and most of the farming efforts were abandoned. In the last few decades many of the homesteads were bought and became part of the National Monument which is administered by the BLM.
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.

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!

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.

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/

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)

Enhancing the landscape views at Fonte Bertusi are many interesting objects including this old farm implement. Fonte Bertusi is an Agriturismo near Pienza, Italy.
I came back home late after a very long day's work. I wanted to implement a shot that I have been having in my mind today, but it wasnt easy. I didnt have the proper equipment, one, I left my tripod at my friend's place (Yes, Danny, time for your tripod joke). This shot is as is from camera. I am glad my hand held steady after all that work.
About the photo:
This is not a photoshopped image. I did not use any filter. The source of light is the blue LED from my external hard disk. With the room being completely dark, the LEDs were very enhanced and metering was difficult with the point and shoot I used (it kept blowing out the region I was focusing). After a few frustrating shots, this came out good (atleast the focus was what I wanted). Patience and determination pays.
A couple of other shots I tried are in the comments section. I will try this again later when I am not this sleepy :-D
Oh, I dont know if I can post this in th Dictionary group, so I havent (What do you think Jill?).
Time to hit the bed! Have a great weekend. I will catch up later on Saturday!
PS: Feel free to teach me how to say blue in a language that you know by adding tags :-)
Measuring spoon handles. The spoons are part of a set including conventional teaspoon (5ml) and tablespoon (15ml) sizes, plus fractions of a teaspoon. I've never had to use any of the minuscule informal measurements in this range, but I am amused that someone attempted to standardize these rather vague units called for in recipes.
According to one source I've found, here are the equivalents to each unit:
Tad: 1/8 teaspoon (0.6ml)*
Dash: 1/8 to 1/16 teaspoon (0.6 to 0.3ml)
Pinch: 1/16 to 1/24 teaspoon (0.3 to 0.2 ml)
Smidgen: 1/32 to 1/48 teaspoon (less than 0.2 ml)
* My set includes a 1/8-tsp spoon, which means the Tad spoon in the set is probably closer to 1/10 teaspoon.
I'm sure the — excuse the pun — well-seasoned professional or hobbyist will take these measurements with, well, a grain of salt and adapt accordingly to achieve repeatable perfection.
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..."
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.

An abandoned villa in the Italian countryside with some nice details in the living areas upstairs and a lot of large barrels in the basement. Unsure on the history of this but seems to have been abandoned for many years.
