The boat mill in Kolárovo in the south-west of Slovakia is the last existing specimen of the floating mill and the only boat mill in Slovakia. The mill houses the Boat Miller's Museum.
The mill stands next to the dead arm of the river Dunaj. It floats on two parallel anchored boats. It is the reconstructed version of the boat mill made by the company Slovenské lodenice in Komárno in 1982 following the design of the former boat mill that existed in Radvaň nad Dunajom, only boats it floats on are bigger than the original ones.
The mill is theoretically functional but in reality it cannot work on stationary water. The mill serves now as a little historic exhibition. The petrol aggregate from the turn of the 19thand 20th centuries is one of its interesting exhibits. It is reminiscent of a locomotive and allegedly it is one of the first mechanisms that existed in the world and was used for manufacture of fishing nets.

We had a shooting assignment in my camera club to do a photo series, with some limits. The required limit was using the same focal length in all images. The other one I chose was "in camera double exposure."
I have gone through a lot of emotional ups and downs in the past several weeks, and decided to do self portraits to convey my feelings, emotions and vulnerabilities.
So there are six in the series. I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56, and with each double exposure, I also moved while the shutter was open to create more of an abstract effect. I will be posting them, interspersed with my other posts.
#1 in Self Portrait series

Sundance will typically start his marathon nap with all appendages tucked in his bed. However, if one comes near a back paw will pop out and extend apparently an effort to prevent his being disturbed.

Pont Y Ddraig (Dragons Bridge)
Pont Y Ddraig was opened in October 2013 to provide a traffic-free route between the counties of Denbighshire and Conwy. Previously cyclists and pedestrians had to use the nearby Foryd Bridge. The bridge’s name, chosen through a schools competition, means “the dragon’s bridge”.
The official opening was carried out by Welsh cyclist Mark Colbourne MBE, who won a gold medal and two silver medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The bridge carries National Cycle Network Route 5 across the Foryd Harbour, at the mouth of the river Clwyd. The central sections of the deck, both sides of the tower, are designed to be raised whenever yachts need to pass. The mechanism is controlled from the harbour office nearby. At night the bridge is illuminated with lights which change colour.
The overall construction cost was £4.3million!

The Brazos Railroad Drawbridge spans the Napa River a few miles from where I live in southern Napa County, California. People (including me) used to be able to walk out on it – most to fish, but some of us with our cameras. You have to walk about a mile to get to it, so there were never big crowds. Sometime in the past couple of years the rail company put up no trespassing signs and security cameras, so the fishermen are all gone.
This is a vertical lift drawbridge, so that tall structure isn’t just to support the bridge – it is a mechanism to lift then entire railroad bed up to allow boats through and then lower it when trains are scheduled.

Closure mechanism (detail) of a transparent glass jar with a blue lid. I put a red plastic bag behind it in order to enhance the glass reflections and used a softbox for backlighting.
We use this jar to store salt for daily use. While the glass and its rubber joint are in perfect condition, voilà the signs of half a dozen years and the effects of salt attracting humidity on the wire of the flip top closure.

Osmeteria, or stink horns, are an active defense mechanism of the swallowtail family. In the case of the Anise Swallowtails, in my yard, they didn't extend the horns when in contact with another caterpillar or if i touched them on the head. The only time they extended the osmeteria was when they brushed against a new section of fennel. This made it a bit tough to get the horns in focus, because the fennel was usually covering the head.
The texture of the osmeteria can be seen in light box.
