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.

Because of the safety measures implemented during Covid-19, there is a reduced collection of downtown Springfield, Mo regulars. Some, such as these couple of skate boarders, utilize the ghost town as a surrogate for their otherwise closed usual hang-outs.

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.

Here we have an old field type manure spreader languishing on the prairie. It’s day has come and gone. Farmers like to jokingly say that this is the only implement that the dealer won’t stand behind. :-)
THE SMALL HAMLET OF WINGDALE, within the town of Dover, New York, is home to the ruins of the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center.
Despite its proximity to New York State Route 22, the stunningly beautiful property has been shrouded in mystery for decades. In 1924, The Harlem Valley State Hospital opened its doors to the public. Later to be renamed the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, the hospital was chartered “for the care and treatment of the insane” and included infrastructure that had previously constituted the Wingdale Prison.
Over the course of 70 years of operation, the facility treated thousands of patients who had been deemed mentally ill. Sprawling across almost 900 acres and encompassing more than 80 buildings, the hospital had its own golf course, bowling alley, baseball field, bakery, and a massive dairy farm that supported an in-house ice cream parlor. At its peak, the facility housed 5,000 patients and 5,000 employees.
Over the years, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center adopted numerous experimental methods of treatment of the mentally ill. In the 1930s, the facility joined several other institutions on the vanguard of a new insulin shock therapy for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia and other compulsive disorders. Later, when the method of electro-shock therapy was created, the hospital was again a pioneer in implementing the method as a treatment for its patients in 1941. When neuropsychiatrist Walter Freeman developed a new method for treating a wide range of psychological conditions that became known as a lobotomy, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center was the preeminent institution for frontal lobotomy in the state of New York.
As with most mental health institutions in New York and across the country, the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center saw a gradual decline in enrollment upon the introduction of psychotropic drugs such as thorazine. When the hospital closed its doors in 1994, it had been on a trajectory of decline for a number of years. For the better part of 20 years, the once-busy campus slowly deteriorated. Visited only by night-watchmen and would-be vandals, the buildings sat unused and the grounds slowly grew unkempt. Ghost stories and whispers grew alongside the weeds of the property.

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)
The business end of a small carbon fiber brush for cleaning a phonograph stylus (needle) as safely as possible. The bristle cluster itself is ¼ inch (6mm) diameter; the overall length of the brush is just under 2⅜" (exactly 58mm) long.
The very fine-bristled brush, when used correctly, is a lot easier on the stylus and the fragile cantilever (stylus support arm) of a modern cartridge than the time-worn tactic of using your index finger to knock those little dust bunnies off the needle. Of course, keeping records clean minimizes the likelihood of those bunnies multiplying ;).

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.
"Spreading a Little Sunshine" in Capitol Reef National Park.
I photographed this vintage farm implement, an old manure spreader, in a park that includes a lot of agricultural history. I grew up using a more modern version of this spreader, on our family dairy farm in eastern Oregon. Ours was pulled by a tractor, rather than a team of horses. Ours used the Power-Take-Off (PTO) from the tractor to convey the manure to the spinning tines at the end, which flung the dung out into the field; whereas, theirs was powered just by the horses and those large wheels connected to a series of gears. Either way, you didn't want to be near those spinning teeth at the back end, or you'd get "sunshine" in your face!
The hardest part of creating this photo was making sure the Photopills app was correctly calibrated on my cell phone, so that my Blue Hour camera/tripod alignment shot was correct for the Milky Way core, which wouldn't be visible for another 90 minutes.

Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesse
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".

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.

Creo que aquí en la tierra hay un diseño inhumano implementado con fría determinación por los poseedores del poder.
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..."
