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.
...as the farmer eats his sunny side up eggs. His tractor and the harvest warms up to a rising golden sunny morning!

Time it was
And what a time it was
It was a time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago, it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you

... 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. Hoy se usan, entre otras funciones, como lugar de encuentro de familiares y amigos para hacer una comida en el arrozal ...

Eine bonbonfarbene Ansicht im Münchener Untergrund: Der U-Bahnhof Candidplatz ist ein Bahnhof der Linie U1 der U-Bahn München. Der Bahnhof wurde am 8. November 1997 eröffnet. Der darüber liegende Platz ist nach dem Maler und Bildhauer Pieter de Witte, genannt Peter Candid benannt, der im 16. Jahrhundert in München und Umgebung tätig war.
Der Bahnsteigbereich ist in Regenbogenfarben gehalten, die ineinander übergehen und die dominierenden konstruktiven Längslinien auflösen. Das Ausbaukonzept sowie der Entwurf der Farbgestaltung stammen von Paul Kramer und Sabine Koschier (U-Bahn-Referat), die Ausführungsplanung von Egon Konrad, München. (Quelle: Wikipedia)

A candy-colored view in the Munich underground: The subway station Candidplatz is a station of the U1 line of the Munich subway. The station was opened on 8. November 1997 opened. The square above is named after the painter and sculptor Pieter de Witte, known as Peter Candid, who in the 16th century was a painter and sculptor. Century in Munich and surroundings was active. The platform area is painted in rainbow colours that merge into one another and dissolve the dominant constructive longitudinal lines. The extension concept and the colour scheme were designed by Paul Kramer and Sabine Koschier (U-Bahn department), the implementation planning was carried out by Egon Konrad, Munich ( Source: Wikipedia)

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.

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!

BAL-05, with the CP 6241 and 6303 in their sharp Golden Beaver scheme leading, weave through some curves along the appropriately named Great River Road north of Guttenberg, IA on the west edge of the Mississippi River Valley. An old MILW line pole for some reason hangs on here, one of the few anywhere along this line to my knowledge. The ballast extra with it’s two set of GREX conveyor cars has been trying to weave through traffic southbound on the Marquette sub all day. Some minor signal issues at the siding at Eckards had delayed the train ahead (K50) and now this BAL-05 was running on restricting signals behind the slower freight most of the way to Dubuque it seemed. But that made for a nice chase for me! This sharp SD60 duo didn't last super long before one of them was replaced with a GP20ECo, unfortunately.
The CTC for this stretch around Eckards to Dubuque is relatively new. The CP has slowly been implementing CTC on the Marquette Sub from Sabula, IA to Bluff (La Crescent, MN), and has finally made it to Marquette with just a few "islands" of track warrant control "dark" territory left south of there. Given the increase in traffic on this line that is a key link in the CPKC’s Canada to Mexico route it certainly does seem warranted. Ballast trains are a common sight on the Marquette as they shuttle rock to expansion and heavy maintenance projects all throughout eastern Iowa from the pit at Waterloo, WI.
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/

From the book, "Elkhart County One Room Schools" by Dean K. Garber, published in 1991:
"PLEASANT HILL - DEWEY School District #5, was originally known as Dewey School. It received this name because Charles B. Dewey had settled in the early 1850s and soon started a school on his property. He was the first teacher at this site. In the 1860s a wood frame was built on the southwest corner of present day 37 and 40. In 1888 a Tee shaped brick building was erected on this same site, facing to the north. The front entry was recessed in several feet from the front wall, so no porch was needed. This entry housed the cloak rooms and wood storage area. This school closed in 1914 and the pupils were hacked (transported by horse drawn carriages) to the Millersburg school. In 1902 the attendance was 41 students and this kept declining to just 16 students in 1913. This building still stands and has been used for farm storage for many years."
The building still has its original slate roof and an enlarged entry for farm implements on the east side.
A Plaque at the bottom of the steps reads:
Looking south, one can see Spadina Road, laid out by the Baldwin family as a grand thoroughfare from Queen Street to Davenport Road. William Baldwin (1775-1844), physician, lawyer, politician and architect built the first "Spadina" in 1818 and the second in 1835 after the earlier home was destroyed by fire. After William's death the estate passed to his son Robert Baldwin (1804-1858) one time co-premier of the united Canadas. Both men were leading political figures whose drive for peaceful change brought about major constitutional and administrative reform in government including the implementation of "responsible government" initiated by William Baldwin.
The Baldwin Steps were opened officially in September, 1988.
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!

The camera and lens were left in place for the shots; nothing was moved, resized or pasted out of place from exactly where it occurred (I'm not a fan of faked "big moon " shots).
The post-rise images were captured at an exposure that precluded inclusion of the foreground, so the presence of the static foreground captured at an exposure a couple of minutes earlier implements a bit of a time shift of the foreground from pre to post-rise.
Mountains are benovelent by nature. They allow us to mine precious minerals, let us take wood, store water in glaciers that supply us with water and more. The snow cover reflects heat and maintains a climate that sustains life. Stop.
They have served a notice. No more of the above ifwe, the Homosapiens don't respect them. Respect in every sense. By being aware and doing every bit for the cause of Climate Change. Even more when we are travelling through them.
We all know what is right for the mountain and the earth; now we just need to implement them.
Happy World Mountain Day, all ye mountain lovers!

Tonlé Sap (literally large river (tonle); fresh, not salty (sap), commonly translated to "Great Lake") refers to a seasonally inundated freshwater lake, the Tonlé Sap Lake and an attached river, the 120 km (75 mi) long Tonlé Sap River, that connects the lake to the Mekong.
They form the central part of a complex hydrological system, situated in the 12,876 km2 (4,971 sq mi) Cambodian floodplain covered with a mosaic of natural and agricultural habitats that the Mekong replenishes with water and sediments annually. The central plain formation is the result of millions of years of Mekong alluvial deposition and discharge. From a geological perspective, the Tonlé Sap Lake and Tonlé Sap River are a current freeze-frame representation of the slowly, but ever shifting Lower Mekong Basin. Annual fluctuation of the Mekong's water volume, supplemented by the Asian Monsoon regime causes the unique flow reversal of the Tonle Sap River.
The Tonlé Sap Lake occupies a geological depression (the lowest lying area) of the vast alluvial and lacustrine floodplain in the Lower Mekong Basin, which had been induced by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. The lake's size, length and water volume varies considerably over the course of a year from an area of around 2,500 km2 (965 sq mi), a volume of 1 km3 (0 cu mi) and a length of 160 km (99 mi) at the end of the dry season in late April to an area of up to 16,000 km2 (6,178 sq mi), a volume of 80 km3 (19 cu mi) and a length of 250 km (160 mi) as the Mekong maximum and the peak of the South-West monsoon's precipitation culminate in September and early October.
As one of the world’s most varied and productive ecosystems the region has always been of central importance for Cambodia's food provision. It proved capable to maintain the Angkorean civilization, the largest pre-industrial settlement complex in world history. Either directly or indirectly it affects the livelihood of large numbers of a predominantly rural population to this day. With regards to a growing and migrating population, ineffective administration and widespread indifference towards environmental issues the lake and its surrounding ecosystem is coming under increasing pressure from over-exploitation and habitat degradation, fragmentation and loss. All Mekong riparian states have either announced or already implemented plans to increasingly exploit the river's hydroelectric potential. A succession of international facilities that dam the river's mainstream is likely to be the gravest danger yet for the entire Tonle Sap eco-region.
The largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, that contains an exceptional large variety of interconnected eco-regions with a high degree of biodiversity is a biodiversity hotspot and was designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1997.
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 businesses.
This is the back side view of a business on Main Street. The upper floor is being renovated for an apartment. All of the brick work looks suspect to me? The building that was attached to it on the left is the one that fell down except for the front wall in a previous photo.
