Adventures in Seeing - Pausing and Making Decisions (1)
While at the garden centre, I encountered a display of leaf rakes that I found oddly appealing. I paused, considered what had made me stop, and realized it was the bright colours and vertical lines that created a sense of energy and purpose that fit with my experience of raking the yard in spring and fall. I decided this spirit would not be captured in a static photo of the rakes, so I chose to express them in a more abstract way. I'm not sure if this fits with the contemplative approach of accepting things just as they are, but this approach helped to minimize a few distracting elements that would have been unavoidable in the composition... but also expresses the first impression that made me stop in the first place more so than a more conventional photo would. There are still hints of the tines to preserve what I perceived as the "gesture" of the upright rakes (to paraphrase Jay Maisel).
Some very very old gardening tools I found in my grandma's garden hovel. Think they haven't been used for decades.

Will be used in this post next week.
I call them rake figures because I'm pretty sure whatever those things are with a line along the top and lines coming down, it's not a rake. So, it keeps me from getting confused. Usually they are alone, or hanging from an arm, but in a few cases, as here, the figures have them for bodies. Sadly the right end of this panel appears to have fallen away. There are two more figures, I'll post the entire panel later.
So far on this trip we've (a) tended not to get to the hotel until pretty late and (b) had really poor internet, so even though this is the second full day, this is all I've managed to post so far. And since all I have to work is my laptop with it's aged dim screen, better versions are likely when I get home.

A YouTube video taken two years ago show significant numbers of fallen trees and large branches throughout the cemetery. Fortunately, these have been cleared.
Jewish Oak Woods, at the southwest corner of the cemetery, is separately managed and maintained by two local shuls. Fences separate the old Jewish section. Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel Congregation owns the Ohave Mariampole section. Congregation Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol Kesser Maariv Anshe Luknik owns the Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol section. These two sections are adjacently located. The third Jewish section, Congregation Rodfei Zedek, is located within Oak Woods Cemetery management, near the two older Jewish sections.

Rake no. 3041-42
A long rake of EE units with EO45 sandwiched in the middle, seen on the arrival road at Hutt Workshops. This rake derailed 3 days prior when trying to enter the workshops, with the result that D2462 (closest to camera) ended up at the south end of the consist when originally at the north. For the record, from left to right the vehicles are DM527, D2553, EO45, D2489, DM510, D2735, DM470, D2462. History tells us DM510 and its trailer D2489 get returned to service, but the rest seemingly do not. Hutt Workshops, 18th July 2011

These figures are near this one, and look like they are probably in the same ink. But they are more exposed and weathered, and about half of the times I've walked past this panel, even knowing where it was, I could not find it. So I've boosted the contrast quite a bit and can't claim the colors are exactly correct any more (the rock is fairly red and I've made it brown) but you can see the pigments better. There are a lot of BCS figures with a rake on one arm and a snake approaching from the other side, so I wonder if that's what this is. (Whatever that is . . .)
Scanned from Kodak slide film.
abandoned at the edge of a field is this old hay rake. I spotted it a while back, but decided to wait till the plants died down before getting a photo
My brother did a quick RAKE chrome today! he is also feeling the heat as Liverpool doesn't see much sun as us Essex folk!
We visited Long Rake mine earlier in the year. Its an amazing place, up there with the best mines and quarrys ive been down for sure. Photos didnt come out too hot under the slightly 'extreme' conditions but il be going back when the water table drops a bit to see some more!
I took this photo to remind myself of where the faint rake figures on the left are relative to the three stripe figure on the right. The figures on the left are very faint and in full sun pretty much invisible, I've walked right past them and been unable to find them.
