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.
«Nachtgedanken» ist eines der bekanntesten Gedichte des deutschen Schriftstellers Heinrich Heine (1792-1856), verfasst im Pariser Exil und als abschliessendes Gedicht im 1844 erschienen Band «Zeitgedichte» veröffentlicht.
Berühmt wurde vor allem der Eingangsvers:
Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht,
Dann bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht,
Ich kann nicht mehr die Augen schließen,
Und meine heißen Tränen fließen.

"Nachtgedanken" (Nocturnal thoughts) is one of the best-known poems by the German writer Heinrich Heine (1792-1856), written in exile in Paris and published as the final poem in the 1844 volume "Zeitgedichte" (Contemporary poems).
The opening verse in particular became famous:
If I think of Germany in the night,
Then I am deprived of sleep,
I can no longer close my eyes,
And my hot tears flow.
NO! Stop. That implement is for removing stones from cherries, not cracking hazelnuts!
Happy LCOF everyone.
Das «Taschenbuch der Mathematik» von Bronstein/Semendjajew, meist einfach «Der Bronstein» genannt, war DAS mathematische Nachschlagewerk und Formelsammlung für Generationen von Studenten und Praktikern der Ingenieur- und Naturwissenschaften. Dieses Exemplar stammt aus der Studienzeit des Sekretärs.
Der SHARP PC-1403H aus derselben Epoche konnte in BASIC (und Maschinensprache) programmiert werden und hatte einen beeindruckenden Arbeitsspeicher von 32KB.

The Bronstein/Semendjajew "Pocket Book of Mathematics" (Taschenbuch der Mathematik), usually simply called "The Bronstein", was THE mathematical reference book and collection of formulas for generations of students and practitioners of engineering and natural science. This copy dates from Secretary’s college days.
The SHARP PC-1403H from the same era could be programmed in BASIC (and machine language) and had an impressive RAM of 32KB.

04-May-2022: about turism: my perplexities towards a future with more and more bans and more and more over-taxes.
Lake Bohinj and the much more famous Lake Bled are close (less than 20 km) but the second has a mass tourism now rooted, while the first is expanding its tourist reception in recent years, coming out (unfortunately) from the shadow of Bled, that was a lightning rod for peaceful and symbiotic nature lovers.
I am totally against mass tourism because it transforms a relaxing resort into an area where it is difficult even to access it.
Around Lake Bled, even at a certain distance, there are only paid parking lots, which come to cost 6 euros per hour (about the most decentralized and in May...) that, certainly, leave perplexed about the "tourist selection" that "they" would like to implement (high-end tourism) and, in general, certainly drive away the tourist in search of nature and not restaurants, bars, concrete lake-front and crowd baths.
The naturalist tourist should not feel like a tourist in Nature, which is a single great asset of humanity and that only administratively is divided between various Countries, while in Bled, as in Rimini or Cortina d'Ampezzo, they make you feel not only tourist, but also guest, sometimes unwanted if you spend little.
As tourism increases, so do the bans, because unfortunately mass tourism includes many people who don't know anything about Nature and generally only go to very touristy places to make themselves of...people, sowing dirt and ignorance wherever they move.
The imposition of prohibitions/bans to limit the "damage from mass tourism" affects everyone indiscriminately, including locals and naturalists who have always had a symbiotic relationship with these places, thus making them become inhospitable, at least to those seeking pure contact with nature itself.
Of course this happens all over the world, but it should be condemned.
We already pay State taxes for the maintenance of the slice of Nature that falls within our administration, tourist surcharges, exploiting market laws that should be verified and contained, are for the most part unconstitutional, as well as several prohibitions that deprive access and use of public property.
With the money that the tourist municipalities pocket they could very well implement a targeted prevention (controls by foresters, cameras, ad hoc fences for areas subject to micro-pollution...) rather than closing everything and then de-empowering themself on the maintenance of roads and areas (more and more numerous), thus going to save further, starting from the basic taxes that we pay to also have access to given areas.
I can understand that you tax parking at high altitude to maintain the roads, but the amount of the payment should be directly proportional to the expenses that must be incurred to ensure accessibility, not by putting prices at random and with increases of 200% from one year to the next.
I have always appreciated the fact that Slovenia, thanks also that it is not densely inhabited and has a modest tourism (except precisely Bled, Postojna Caves and the Coast), guarantees a wide accessibility and use of its territories and I hope it can continue, limiting the prohibitions and parking lots everywhere.

Obiges Foto hatte mir mein Freund geschickt, ich hatte die Änderungen für die beiden anderen Bearbeitungen vorgeschlagen. Grund: Zu viele Pfeiler, zu viele scharfe Kanten. Und die Geometrie ist mir nicht "reingelaufen".
My friend sent me the above photo, I suggested the changes for the other two edits. Reason: Too many pillars, too many sharp edges. And the geometry didn't "come" me.
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.

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/

Flying along the Nooksack River, a pair of BNSF SD75m's bring a short Sumas turn up the scenic branch line. L-NWE644 formerly known as the M-EVESUM is a job I have been meaning to catch for a while and I finally had the opportunity to last week when me and some friends ventured down to Washington for a quick day trip. Recent implementation of CWR has led to GP units on the Sumas sub to become somewhat uncommon and although we didn't get any on todays train, I'll take 75m's any day over gevos.
This is the underside of a huge freight wagon at the Kingsburg Historical Park. I am doing some research on it, but I believe it was used primarily for hauling lumber. Based on its huge size, I cannot imagine that anything less than a dozen horses could have been used to move it.
The Moline Plow Company was an American manufacturer of farm implements, headquartered in Moline, Illinois. While the primary company was based in Illinois, there was a "California Moline Plow Company" located on Main St. at Union St. in Stockton, California. It appears to have been a commercial building associated with the larger Moline Plow Company, with a postcard depicting it circa 1910.
The Moline Plow Company itself had a long history, starting in the 1870s. They produced a wide range of horse-drawn plows and other implements, and also ventured into tractors (the Moline Universal Tractor) and automobiles (the Stephens brand). In 1929, the Moline Implement Company (which Moline Plow became) merged with two other companies to form the Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Company.
The P. Schuttler Company, more formally known as the Peter Schuttler Company, was a highly successful and renowned American manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles, primarily wagons, based in Chicago, Illinois.
Nonostante il mutuo scambio di dotazioni fra DB ed SBB Cargo si sia formalmente concluso agli inizi del nuovo anno con l'implementazione del sistema di sicurezza ETCS sulle prime Br185 delle ferrovie tedesche, almeno fino a fine gennaio è stato ancora possibile avvistare alcune locomotive delle SBB incaricate di trainare verso l'Italia convogli normalmente in carico al gruppo DB Schenker.
Ecco quindi uno dei "classici" del San Gottardo, il Winnerzug da Wuppertal per Piacenza iniziare l'ascesa verso Goeschenen al traino di un Re10/10 in luogo delle classiche TRAXX tedesche. (22/1/16)
The Saab began to bounce from 80 km/h upwards from one day to the other, so instead of balancing the steel wheels I decided to seize the moment to implement one of my wanted improvements: Three-spoke alloy wheels! It improves the appearance of the car massively in my opinion. I deliberately didn't want bigger wheels because I don't want to affect the ride comfort.
Yes, I realise this topic has already been talked over many times on our humble photo gallery. This time however, we have another big developement in front of us.
The famous Polish ban on photography had not really been in power, no matter what any person said. You were fully permitted to photograph anything you want, as long as you were on public grounds, which is a reasonable idea. All is to change now though.
My first post in this "no photo" topic has been published on 6.02.2024, when the Polish Ministry of National Defence published a draft of the ordinance containing the description of a "Photography forbidden" sign, along with many other things. This ordinance is what is required for the photo ban to be implemented in practice, as per a law published all the way back in 2022. The draft remained all that, just a draft, up until... this very day, 3.04.2025. It is now a full-blown ordinance of the allmighty Minister himself.
The published version can be seen on the official government service Dziennik Ustaw - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU
The ordinance itself, numbered 432 can be seen here - dziennikustaw.gov.pl/DU/2025/432 - contains a PDF file with the ordinance and a graphical display of the sign.
From now on, any person responsible for the security of an object of critical infrastructure (whatever that means...) will be able to hang out these legal signs and there is nothing the poor citizen can do about this, even when standing on public grounds.
*The ordinance comes into effect 14 days after its publishing, you have time until the 17th of April. For real now.*

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..."
With temperatures well below zero during the overnights, NSM implemented their cold weather operating pattern of running shorter, but more frequent, trains. A heads up from Mel Wilson noted that the leased SD9043MACs were down with various ailments and that NSM had two three-unit SD40-type sets in service (apparently the GEs are still down).
With this knowledge Gus and I made the trip north to milepost 23 after having spent time shooting boats in Two Harbors earlier in the morning. Based on radio detector transmissions it became apparent that empties and loads were both on the move. The first to arrive was the empty set behind gray 661 and nice (figures) 651 trailing. I'm not sure what happened to the third SD40 in this set. The weather was a mix of sun, ice fog and snow showers.
As the empties rolled past creating a moving ground blizzard, the loads came into view and the two met just west of the overpass. Of course what should be leading the loads but 662 with nice (figures) 652 in the middle. In Mel's defense, he did tell me that both the gray beasts had burned-out ditch lights. Not sure what it is about NSM, but there always seems to be at least one unit with a burned-out ditch light. Payback I guess for nailing the SD90s in fresh snow and sun earlier this winter.
Oh, the detector at MP 34 reported an air temp of -17F. Both trains had around 110 cars versus the normal 156.
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.
