This is another Kelli Crowe lift. I just love her stuff! My five things are cardstock, letters, stars, photos and black marker doodling around the stars.
Can you tell that I like to research a place?
After reading about it for months, I am so ready to actually GO there. We leave on Friday.
Women often carry heavy loads some distance along roads. Here, these women are probably carrying wood for fire or possibly grass for animals.
This actually starts off life as a school bus and is then turned into a Citrus Loader.
I would like to thank the wonderful people at Petersen Industries, Inc. for allowing me to see and take pictures of their trucks! They were VERY knowledgeable and friendly!

Built 1880 to maintain water supply to Lefevre Peninsula. Previously a pipeline brought water across the Jervois Bridge but water was cut off whenever the bridge was opened for the passing of ships. In 1898 a water main from Happy Valley Reservoir supplemented that from the Hope Valley Reservoir. No longer used to store water for the district, the tower was sold 1935, later converted to residence.
“Semaphore Waterworks. — The operations in connection with the erection of the new water tower at the Semaphore have commenced, the ground being pegged off, and some loads of building material having been laid down.” [Register 17 May 1880]
“Water Tower at the Semaphore.— The structure designed to support an immense tank for the water supply of the Semaphore is in course of erection. The foundation, of concrete, has been properly put in, and the brick and cement walls are so far raised as to give the idea of the shape of the building. It is octagonal, and as it will attain a height of nearly 100 feet it will prove an ornament to the neighbourhood, and make an excellent seamark for mariners. The work is very rapidly progressing, twenty hands being constantly employed. The whole of the structure is to be of bricks cemented.” [Register 17 Jun 1880]
“In order to set at rest the rumors that the water tower at the Semaphore was leaning, Messrs. Cleave & Hardy, the builders, have had the structure tested, and report it to be perfectly upright.” [Express & Telegraph 24 Sep 1880]
“Mr. James Hooker, of Hindley-street, is just now finishing to the order of the Government a piece of work such as is not often seen in colonial foundries, namely, an iron tank capable of holding 66,000 gallons of water. It seems a very well-made tank, but at present the plates are merely held in position by a few screws. It is intended to stand on the top of the water-tower at the Semaphore, and will be supported on very substantial-looking girders, which are also in course of being manufactured.” [Evening Journal 17 Nov 1880]
“At the Semaphore steps have been taken to avoid the inconvenience caused by the cessation of the supply whenever the Jervois swing bridge is opened. The present mains to the Semaphore cross this bridge, and consequently have to be disconnected to allow it to be opened. It being considered unadvisable to lay a main across the bottom of the Gulf, a water-tower has been built upon the highest point of the ridge of sandhills, and in the centre of the district to be supplied. This tower carries a tank which will be kept full so long as the bridge is closed; but whenever the pipes are disconnected to allow of the bridge being opened, then the water stored in the tank will be available for the supply of the district until the communication is restored.” [Register 3 Jan 1881]
“The tower is of red and white brick, and is somewhat over 60 feet in height from the surface of the ground to the bottom of the tank. It is octagonal in plan and as ornamental as is possible under the circumstances. The tank is 30 feet in diameter and 15 feet deep. It is constructed of wrought-iron, and is supported by wrought-iron girders. The tank will contain 66,000 gallons or 300 tons of water.” [Register 8 Jan 1881]
“The whole of the materials for the tank were therefore ordered direct from England through the Agent-General, and upon their arrival Mr. Jas. Hooker was entrusted with the task of putting the tank together and erecting it in position. . . A great deal of work has been done in laying new mains, which have become necessary to maintain an efficient supply to the rapidly increasing district. A new line of 18-inch main is being laid from the Hope Valley Reservoir along the North-East-road into North Adelaide. . . A new 10-inch main has been laid from the North Adelaide Reservoir along Torrens-road into Lipson-street, Port Adelaide, and from thin a new line of 8- inch and 6-inch main passes along St. Vincent-street over the bridge, and through the Semaphore district to the water tower.” [Adelaide Observer 8 Jan 1881]
“An inspection of the Semaphore watertower was made by the councillors of the local municipality. . . The building is 110 ft. high and stands on the summit of the highest ground in the locality. The structure consists of six storeys, including the basement. . . The three floors above this are used as living chambers, but are not regularly occupied. The tank containing the water is built above. . . The water when the talk is full will supply ordinary wants for fully five hours.” [Advertiser 4 Feb 1891]
“From 4 o'clock this afternoon the residents of the Semaphore will enjoy what they have so badly needed in the hot weather, and so long endeavoured to get — an increased supply of water. . . To lessen the rise of the district being cut off when the bridge is opened a water tower was some years ago erected on a high position at the Semaphore. . . but last year, at the height of the hot weather, it did not to any extent minimise the inconvenience caused by the poor pressure of water. . . nothing would ensure a satisfactory supply but the laying of a new main direct from the Happy Valley works.” [Register 17 Aug 1898]
“The water tower at the Semaphore is used for water storage purposes. Should the consumption from the mains become greater than the capacity of the mains to supply it the deficiency is met by water from the tower. If a burst should occur in a main the supply in the tower is drawn from. The tower m kept full, but is emptied and cleaned periodically.” [Advertiser 14 Oct 1915]
“Well known as a landmark and a guide to navigators, the Semaphore water tower. . . has passed its span of usefulness. No one wants it now. Tenders for its purchase were called by the Engineering and Water Supply Department, but as no buyers were forthcoming this tower of ‘hand-made’ bricks will come down to release the valuable land for the building of houses. . . Summer consumption rate now would empty the huge tank in less than, an hour. . . The tank was used to maintain pressure until about-a year ago. . . The late Mr. Thomas Sanders, who for more than 40 years was superintendent of Port Adelaide Waterworks district, used the tower as a summer residence, and under its water load of nearly 300 tons had perhaps the coolest ‘house’ in the town. Mr. Sanders supervised the erection of the tower and the filling of the tank. He retired in 1910. As a landmark, the white-topped tower is mentioned in navigation books. Until recently there was a lead light on the seaward side. The tower is the first object which masters of incoming ships see when approaching the Semaphore anchorage. As an observation point it used to have its advantages in the early days. From the tank platform incoming mailboats could be seen an hour earlier than from the lookout of the nearby signal station.” [News 2 Jul 1935]
“A Well-Known Landmark at Semaphore. The Lofty Water Tower. . . capable of conversion into Small Flats. . . Extremely Low Upset Price of £150.” [Advertiser 23 Apr 1936 advert]
“The lofty water tower, a well known landmark at Semaphore, was sold by auction this afternoon to Mr. A. L. White, dentist, of North terrace, Adelaide. His intentions are to convert the structure into flats. Bidding started at £150 and a satisfactory figure was reached before the sale was effected. The building consists of four stories with a basement, and a large tank.” [News 23 Apr 1936]
“The Old Water Tower at Semaphore, well-known as a landmark and guide to ships, is to have a block of flats attached to it. The tower was used to supply Lefevre's Peninsula with water when the supply was cut off by the opening of Jervois Bridge for ships to pass through. The purchaser of the property decided not to demolish the structure because of its historic associations.” [The Mail 5 Mar 1938]
“Mr. White bought the tower at an auction sale two or three years before the war. When he bought it he was inundated with letters from Semaphore residents asking him not to demolish ‘the grand old building’. A letter from the Harbors Board pointed out that if he had the tank demolished it would spoil a series of new charts showing the tank as a navigational aid. Mr. White has built two three-storied flats alongside the tower, and would convert the rest of the building into additional flats, only the 25-ft. diameter octagonal rooms are a sub-divisional problem.” [News 16 Aug 1948]

LANDMARKS...My landmarks/anchors are always where my little family is. I live in the woods so my landmarks are always changing and growing. This is a direct lift from a beautiful layout from this load group here is the link www.flickr.com/photos/kimberlykalil/8472499364/in/faves-4... Thank you for great inspiration.
In Ireland, the phrase "loading zone" means "park here first." In Cashel, County Tipperary, locals with cars park in bus stops, loading zones and handicapped spaces. There is no policiing of those marked areas. There is no pride of parking. The truck in this photo blocked the main street for nearly 10 minutes as its driver chatted inside a shop. Free off-street parking is less than 50 metres away. It is big enough for coaches. Following his engaging conversation, the driver did a U-turn on the main street and then positioned his vehicle against the flow of traffic. He could not use the empty loading zone behind his truck because that would mean taking 12 additional steps from his vehicle to the shop where he was delivering his goods.
This behaviour is well-learned, tantamount to the way the guilds would pass down trade skills from generation to generation, centuries ago. You expect to see people behaving this way in lesser developed countries. It's part of the charm of Ireland.
As the last outbound Santa Rosa CityBus New Flyer departs on a Route 5, the inbound Route 12 comes gliding towards N3 for a layover. Meanwhile, the Sonoma County Transit Route 60 loads up to make the mid-afternoon run Northbound to Healdsburg and Cloverdale, CA.

Quickly made. My pages are typically basic (which helps) and I usually think about what I want to do prior to sitting down at my computer. I think this is the first LOAD that I've actually followed the prompts! So Proud!

By 2000 sugar beet was brought into the Brześć sugar factory by tractor. This new process then required the local farmers to load their beet into a trailer and bring to the factory by road. They then queued in long lines outside the factory, waiting often for hours to unload their produce.
However, coal was still transported to the factory by the PKP in narrow gauge transporters, unloaded into stockpiles outside the factory, then the coal was loaded into narrow gauge wagons when required and moved into the factory. Ash disposal was also carried out using the railway.
WLs150 7083 is seen inside the factory waiting by the coal stage.
