One man sits around as another repairs fishing nets at the docks of Ao Noi in Prachuap Khiri Khan. Locally the town is known as the "City With Three Bays" Ao Manao (Lime Bay), Ao Prachuap, (Prachuap Bay and the largest of the three) and Ao Noi (Little Bay).
For Monday's Macro theme of white on white. Been using these on our Schnauzer's paw that has a sore.
. . .in the city
after twilight
when nightbirds return
to roost along boulevards
slick with rain and shuttered
cafes fill with emptiness
the whine of distant sirens
calls for someone
to swim out from the quay
to deeper blackness
to passersby who glance
at themselves
in the windows and keep
moving and maybe those
restless shadows linger
on the wall as winds rustle
overhead or underfoot:
oh, how passions rise
in the sweet chambers
of imagination, a dark-haired
beauty on a moonlit beach,
say St-Tropez and the sand
carries the salts of the bay
in and out, delirious for want
of the moment to never end
waves erasing the sand
out and in and though
she may be the trick
memory plays or desire
or loneliness maybe
what might have been
was real enough
--Miguel de O
I'm so cold again
Can't feel my face again, no
My patience is wearing thin
6 A.M. there goes the moon
I feel like death is coming soon and, oh
All I wanna do is fucking sleep
Nothing flashed before my eyes
No pretty angels, and no bright lights
All I saw was the devil's soul
And it looked a hell of a lot like my own

Salts Mill is a former woollen mill in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The mill and the surrounding housing was built at the behest of Sir Titus Salt, who wanted to provide both better working conditions for the mill employees and more salubrious surroundings, including improved housing. Textile production ended here in 1986 and the following year the site was bought by local entrepreneur Jonathan Silver, who regrettably died of cancer in 1997. It was his work and vision that more than anything else led to Salts Mill and surrounds becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
Pride of place in the renovated building is a gallery devoted to the internationally renowned artist David Hockney, born in Bradford in 1937. Other areas are used for exhibitions, concerts, theatre and performances, whilst there are also cafes and restaurants, shops and antique stalls. A great place to visit for so many reasons.
This is Salts Mill, along side of the Leeds to Liverpool Canal.
It is named after Sir Titus Salt who built a textile mill, known as Salts Mill and this village on the River Aire. Designed by architects, Lockwood and Mawson,
Saltaire, West Yorkshire.
A graduation tower (occasionally referred to as a thorn house) is a structure used in the production of salt which removes water from a saline solution by evaporation, increasing its concentration of mineral salts. The tower consists of a wooden wall-like frame stuffed with bundles of brushwood (typically blackthorn) which have to be changed about every 5 to 10 years as they become encrusted with mineral deposits over time. The salt water runs down the tower and partly evaporates; at the same time some minerals from the solution are left behind on the brushwood twigs.
Graduation towers can be found in a number of spa towns, primarily in Germany but also Poland and Austria. The mineral-rich water droplets in the air are regarded as having beneficial health effects similar to that of breathing in sea air.
Calcareous sinter is a freshwater calcium carbonate deposit, also known as calc-sinter. Deposits are characterised by low porosity and well-developed lamination. Calcareous sinter should not be confused with siliceous sinter, which the term sinter more frequently refers to. It has been suggested that the term "sinter" should be restricted to siliceous spring deposits and be dropped for calcareous deposits entirely.
A large complex of graduation towers is located in Ciechocinek, Poland. This entirely wooden construction was erected in the 19th century by Stanisław Staszic. The complex consists of three graduation towers with a total length of over 2 km. Many tourists visit it for health reasons.
