Detail of an old demonstration-style hand-cranked electrical generator

The smaller gear has a diameter of about a half-inch (1cm)

The larger gear has a diameter of about two inches (4cm)

When the operator (via the hand crank) turns the larger gear one revolution, the coil of wire (connected via an axle to the smaller gear) spins four revolutions, and the faster the coil spins, the more voltage is produced by the generator.

HMM!

Last period we had some beautiful morning conditions, with fog and sunrises. The perfect recipe for special things to happen😊

Perhaps a bit far-fetched, but in this case the shape of the light beams, reflected by the still water, almost made it look like a part of a diamond!

Mills, mills, mills... and after two days of shooting them I have quite a few up my sleeve. But I have to admit, it was once again a real joy to spend these mornings like this!

Funny how the right circumstances can elevate a very ordinary local patch to something a bit more special.

Il Razionalismo di Sabaudia

Further down the road I found another scenery, where the harsh light turned out really beneficial. The sun was shining just over the hillside and provided beautiful backlighting on the autumn leaves. With the tele I was able to fully zoom in on the golden diagonals of the landscape, that stood out even more on the very dark ground they were growing on. With a 16:9 aspect ratio I got rid of the last distractions in the frame and this gave an even more abstract approach of the landscape. I always get a lot of fulfilment out of this, often not so obvious, photographs. And despite most of them never make it through my own selection, I do like the way this one turned out.

A child tries to catch rain water in a bottle from a seaside jetty, Yucatan coast.

And a song that fits the subject, sung by Eva Cassidy with a voice as delicate, rich and vibrant as autumn itself:
