In 1994 I taped a TV show about the future of television. In 2009 I copied that taped show on to my iPod and watched it on the bus.
Taken at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. I hear this tower came from Boston, Massachusetts. Looks like it is awaiting restoration. This is a very cool place with ample photo ops. Very interesting Architecture. I hope it gets restored soon.
King's Stanley is situated approximately two miles west of Stroud in the County of Gloucestershire, UK
Stanley Mill. Built in 1812 for the manufacture of woollen cloth. The main building was one of the first in England of "fireproof" construction, with iron columns.
1812 Present buildings begun
1813 Feb. Sold to Harris and Maclean for £8,655. Reference to new erected dyehouses, wool-lofts, woolstores, workshops, clothrooms, counting houses, etc. Canal accounts show delivery of stone, bricks, timber, iron and slates. Timber and some stone came from the Forest of Dean. The iron work was made by Benjamin Gibbons of the Earl of Dudley’s Level New Furnaces. This plant built in 1802-3 continued to run until 1954.
1824 First reference to a steam engine at Stanley.
1834 Maclean, Stephens and Co made superfine cloth and kerseymere.
1834. At Stanley, a steam engine of 40 hp. (bought from Boulton and Watt 1824) and 5 water wheels on a fall of 16 feet, equal to 200hp. The supply of water in summer was so irregular it caused interruptions in the work several hours a day.
All machinery considered dangerous was fenced off as far as was practicable. Hours worked, 11 to 12 and in some departments 13. No children under 9 were employed and very few under 10. The youngest, up to 12 or 13, were employed as piecers working up to 101/2 to 11 hours. The older ones worked 11 to 12 hours.
Refractory or disorderly children were dismissed.
1839. At Stanley, a steam engine of 50 hp. and 5 water wheels, 1 of 30hp. and 4 of 25 hp.
c. 1839 Sold to Nathaniel Marling for £27,000.
1854 Weaving shed built in front of main building, probably replacing an earlier building on the site.
1867 High pressure condensing engine installed.
1868 80hp. Turbine added.

Ruined greenhouse at Easton
The Old Greenhouse.
Drip! The droplet slowly builds, becoming pear-shaped,
hanging as from a thread at the grey spout of the grimy tap.
Drip! Into a damp patch in the dry infertile earth
irrigating a few strands of ivy hugging the crumbling bricks:
compelling regularity, a water-clock of abandonment.
How long since old gnarled hands,
nails impregnated with potting compost and plant juices,
held galvanised cans beneath its gush,
cleaned windows, watered seedlings or vines,
sluiced down the mossy path, obscured now
by debris and trailing brambles?
Drip! Measuring the minutes since Victoria reigned over us,
when aristocratic houses gave employment to a hierarchy of local lads
under the green thumb of the Head Gardener;
when peaches, apricots and grapes were produced for gracious tables
and camellias and bougainvillias led pampered lives
within the shelter of the broken walls.
Now only the snowdrop candles light the gloomy depths,
glisten amongst the sprouting nettles
beneath last year's ochre stalks, uncut, untrodden,
and brittle bones of willowherb
await the surge of rusty growth.
Drip! Onto the parched soil and terracotta shards,
onto dead leaves, a rotting handle from a trowel
and an illegible label.
Some of the glass is whole, or almost so,
stacked in irregular piles, bright, in places,
the scored edges showing inky blue and bottle green,
the mirror sheets distorting the reflections
of the empty ceiling of iron framework.
Elsewhere, the gleam is hidden under moss and lichen,
speckled with lime-saturated water, scattered with bird-shit:
robin, summer swallows and sparrows seeking dry-earth
for feather maintenance.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Counting the days until money is found for restoration,
waiting for a time when seedlings once more will be pricked
into sweet loam and leaf-mould,
filling the old greenhouse with new life and new scents,
and the constant dripping of the tap will be stilled.
Our train from Budapest dropped us off in Zagreb, capital of Croatia and the only city starting with the letter “Z” that we are aware of. We headed down the coast gobbling down shots of rakia, with a stop on the Plivitce National Park. Along the coast, we visited a few towns, namely: Dubrovnik, Brela, Split and the Island of Vis. A quick bus trip across the border took us to Bosnia & Herzegovina for a quick visit to Mostar, a town still covered in bullet holes due to the war that ended splitting up Yugoslavia during the 90s. After saying goodbye to my mom, we crossed to Montenegro, a weird country. We went river rafting, crossed ilegally to the Bosnian side for a second, got stuck for one night and then moved on.
Old RV geekery, I can't resist them... Spotted this Streamline Duke trailer in my badlands wandering, based on some basic research it appears to be a 1960's trailer... Here's some basic information about the Streamline company... tincantourists.com/wiki/doku.php?id=streamline
Which reminds me of the vintage camper meet at the end of the month, just south of Calgary, I plan to check it out!
The Old Mill in Pigeon Forge, Tn is one of the best places to make photos at night and they have great food.
Old Agfa C90 - I remember buying the odd C 120 until I realised the tapes on these were so thin they regularly snapped in the tape player - then extrication was required to restore normal service !
During the summer i went to Georgia for a week, we were driving on all the back roads and found a lot that had a bunch of old cars in it. This one really stuck out to me because of the old building behind it and it looks badass ;)
I filmed the bike ride up to the old tree this time. Bike ride can be seen here. My computer is dead so I used my mothers when I edited the clips. Sorry about the crappy quality, not sure why, made with windows movie maker on my mothers computer. Anyway it was 25 C today so it was a sweaty ride. I met a few people on the way. And a tractor! And a car wreck that I took a photo of a couple of weeks ago was still there. Maybe I should send the video to the Haninge tourist board! I will add the link when the video is up.
