Brassy latch in the middle of 2 free-swinging cafe doors. A waitress was walking in through the doors and caused them to swing arhythmically, so that I was struck by the brass and contrasting interior cyan paint against the reddish exterior paint.

Because I shot this with the full-frame camera and I found the old hardware pretty interesting, I decided to crop a small bit out of the original. Maybe someone can date this hardware design. The derelict equipment was probably Box Car Red but I doubt Tuscan Red.The box was built on steel girders with fabricated steel ends and top but still sided with wood siding during this era. This seems to be a mess of specialized parts to maintain some kind of integrity. Even the rolled steel end caps were made in sections. This is a curious set of parts from an early year.
I guess that after the farmer's lean-to, it is a "Combine" now and is at the end of the line. This is not an unusual "combine" in the St.Vrain, Platte River valleys and grabbed by farmers who wanted sealed storage. An added bonus is that they usually had sliding doors that worked for tighter than normal barnyard storage, especially on this farmer's plot. It is in "bad order" and would not keep mice out now. If I remember correctly, Colorado peaked at 3500 miles of railroads in the Rockies and surrounding plains when the rails were king. The Santa Fe was described by Crofutt in his Grip-Sack Guide of Colorado for 1885. This car is certainly much newer than Crofutt's era.
Eddie and I spotted it on the Google Maps and it looked to us like it might have been the original "manor" house of the farm. Boy, were we seriously mistaken. And I have noticed another shed off to the west side of this contraption.
Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, North Somerset. 1930-2, Sir George Oatley.
Coombe Lodge is a large country residence that was built for the Wills family (of tobacco fame). Oatley was the Wills' de facto in-house architect, probably most famous for designing Bristol University's Wills Memorial Building.
This photo was a bit of an experiment that didn't really work, but I wanted to show something of the beautiful hardware that adorns these metal-framed casement windows.

What makes the nipples of women's breasts obscene, keep-it-out-of-site body parts, when they are so beautifully constructed by creation's Great Designer? I believe it's the insanity of a dysfunctional society addicted to sexualizing the human body. Those guilty of this addiction may try to keep the nipple consigned to the realm of pornography, but the breastfeeding reflexes programmed into a newborn by the same Almighty Designer stand unanimously against such cultural nonsense. -- DLH
BH decided to send me another camera bag along with my new Fuji X-T3. I need another one like I need another lens! Anyway, was testing the new T3 with a 23mm f/1.4 and see what kind of detail and DOF I would get in available low light. So shot this clip and thought it was kind of cool - so sharing my fun..
