This is almost a camouflage shot with the patina of the rusty iron nearly merging with the background. I recently posted a weird and seldom seen implement, "Scrape the skies," at Ramey which was an old-time skid-type haying rake. This is an entirely different rake design and it's easy to see that this was designed to be hauled, first behind horses or oxen and later behind a tractor, possibly steam. The Ramey rake was a push rake that was used to skid across a previously mown pasture to pile the cut hay atop its tines. The gathered hay was transported to a Beaver slide and piled on a carrier at the bottom. A second draft animal would pull on ropes attached to pulleys and the carrier which itself would ascend the slide and dump the hay onto a stack over on the back side. The Beaver slide could be crudely built from local materials. At one time they were scattered about pastures in the West.

 

In fall, I drove out southwest of town and turned off the Diagonal Highway to Boulder to search for more flood destruction on Oxford Road then northwest of Niwot toward their cemetery. I caught this beside the road on the way to the cemetery. I kind of like the warm afternoon light that streams over the mountains. I just hit the partly open Golden Ponds and other local sites. I got caught up in a project chasing autumn leaves falling in a breeze. This at least qualifies for the color. We've had pretty good color and pretty good breezes but I never have hit both in the perfect "fall" this year. I'd say autumn shots are about gone by now.

 

Strangely, we had a summer that was closer to normal, if high in humidity, but I think ignoring climate change or pumping petroleum into the atmosphere won't make rougher weather go away. That is at least until the looming petroleum wars are settled and the Koch Brothers and their political tea investments are put away in their place. Until then, CO2 levels in the atmosphere which are at an 850 million year high, will not be turned around. Actually, all anti-fracking proposals passed in Colorado. Hope perhaps. I guess most of America has learned what can happen because climate change has weakened the jet stream this winter. I expect NO odds for the spring and summer weather.

One of those images that didn't quite turn out how I'd envisaged. Unfortunately due to loss of intensity there is a lack of stars and the odd gap in the reflection pool for this to have worked out as I had in mind!

Hans Curtis Nelson created these metal sculptures depicting people in everyday life. They were erected along the road in Ramond, Washington.

we're getting the Raker turned around for another flight - here's a cockpit shot of KSC as Kirk entered the pattern

there it is- 3 sets raked with reasonable ease. May still need to size up the clamp bolt, with something more course and stout, but I am very pleased.

Reflective foil on pressure plate. Developed in hair dye. Bleach bypass. Fuji400 35mm film in Holga 120N with homemade mask roughly 24x24mm. Scanned w Epson V500. Uploaded w my phone because I have no internet. My phone fainted dead away the last time I tried this. There is no option to add tags on the m.flickr site so I'd just like to say xpro c41 ppd paraphenylenediamine "cross process" film 135 analogue

 

There also seems to be no option to add to groups or fave images. Still better than nothing I suppose.

 

Irl the rake is fire engine red and the bin its leaning against is a light sea green.

Boulder, Colorado. Today the farmer is raking hay -- gathering it up into nice rows (windrows) so a baler can come along after to make bales. The machine is called a wheel rake or hay rake.

I'm not sure why, but I really like this photo.

You don't see this method of raking hay into windrows with all the modern farming equipment. This gentleman uses all old or antique equipment to harvest the hay and grain he uses to feed his workhorses.

The remains of Grove Rake Flurospar Mine can be found about a mile west of the village of Rookhope in Upper Weardale. The mine closed in 1999, but a number of surface buildings and structures remain. There are two vertical shafts on site and two addits (sloping access entrances to the mine workings). I don't know how deep the vertical shafts are, but the old 'drop a stone down the hole' technique leads me to conclude they're pretty deep! If you are so inclined, it is actually possible to enter the mine workings via the adits, and I believe that some people have so ventured. However, those who do go suitably equipped and seem to have some knowledge about what they are doing. I was intrigued as I stood beside the main shaft that I could hear sounds coming from somewhere deep below. It didn't seem like a sound made by water, rather the sound you would expect to hear being made by people walking through the mine. As there were no other cars parked in the area, I assumed that this was an unlikely source of the sound... but I was still left wonderingf what might be source of the sound.

A corner of my Greenhouse

Old hay rake left to rust inside woods at a local park.

I joined Eddie out at McIntosh for the sunset but it was being difficult and I knew that this would be my last shot at the carney and more tricks. Eddie bailed after shooting this but I waited because it was early for the carnival. This was shot after I worked on the pano. I decided to record that sky as long as I had the tripod set up. This was shot processed to be without HDR haloes an cement skies. That just ain't me and THIS sky probably does not need extra help. Those wild HDRs are all gamut and unprintable. I presented what details captured and I could create from Lightroom.

 

The sunset night is tonight so I decided to get back later and hope for a great sunset. I went out again in the evening and shot more photos on the chance of a good sunset. It will be another month before the sunset swings south to a better alignment. I suppose that I ought to consult the "Photographer's Ephemeris" to see when a great alignment happens but the extended shooting hours here only happen once a month. The sky cleared for a poor sunset but offered us a double rainbow. This view of the rake and the McIntosh/Lohr dairy barn toward northwest past Longmont. Eddie should have stuck around. The good specular rays didn't materialize again so I swung the camera around and found a good sky over the McIntosh barn. I'm all about skies!

 

This is the McIntosh-Lohr Farm Agricultural Museum on Highway #66, (not the same as Route #66). The unpainted barn was the McIntosh barn and the red one was the Dickens/Stroh barn moved in from the FAA property. Recently we have been graced with Typical June skies, so I am trying to take advantage of them. Today, served up more clouding and a promised a of today's 90s. I am choosing to edit and I am spending extra time on the best of the captures considering these abundant skies. I was just in time for the sky on that Sunday. I scored shots out here some years ago but the sky was a dud and I was using my old 5 megapixel D70. I have completely redone the interior shots with the D700.

 

The farm/museum is part way between Largemont and Hygiene, Colorado on state highway #66. I created a Photos Set for the McIntosh/Lohr Agricultural Museum.

  

Take a look at the wingtip. This is called "Raked wingtip" ボーイング787の翼は炭素繊維で作られており、翼端は、後退しながら先細りになっている変わった形状をしています。これは、Raked wingtipと呼ばれています。

Now have a back log of images. Shot my first portra film today also :D Slide development coming on tuesday ! Crossing my fingers they are not blank as the film has been expired for 10 years!
