Also seen in the picture is the jig used to hold the segments (18) in place while turning, sanding flat and gluing.
There are between 1.5 and 2 million images uploaded here to Flickr every day. Then there is Instagram, 500px, and Imgur to name but a few more sites hosting pictures. And there are many other places to view the photogrpahs taken in their millions every day.
I'm sure that I am not the only one who has wondered what, if any, significance my pictures have in the great scheme of photographic life, and felt at times that there is nothing new in photography, and that I am doing no more than reinventing the wheel with my own efforts.. Despite that, I have striven to try and produce at least a few original images for my Photostream, and spent many hours trying to think up new and original ideas.
The idea behind this image is to take a fairly ordinary scene, but just focus on a segment of it, not in the way of a close up or macro, but showing a larger view of that scene.
Thinking about it, a photograph is simply a segment of time, captured in an image, and I wondered if it would further enhance a photo by segmenting the space, as well as the time aspect.
So this image, and the others like it are the results of putting the idea into practice. And I am pleased enough with the results of this experiment to look out for more images like these. Perhaps it may even turn into a project. Of course, It is not a totally unique way of presenting an image, but it is the doing of it intentionally, that I have not seen before.
Day 5 (Segment 28)
Bridge site to Junction Creek Trailhead
Cruisin’ right along, I made it to Gudy’s Rest. A fantastic overlook with a bench honoring Gudy Gaskill, who made the Colorado Trail a reality. I stopped for a break and took in some of the final views. A very nice stop but Gudy’s bench was in the sun so I opted to relax on a rock bench hiding in the shade. Still very nice.
As hikers near the end of their journey, getting off of the trail is always on their mind and then how to get to an airport or bus station to travel home. Sometimes family and/or friends might meet them on the trail and provide transportation. Another option is to catch a hitch, which was my plan to get back to my car. Of course, I was hiking into a day hiking area, so any hiker encounters would be a possibility, since they would likely be parked at the trailhead.
Gudy’s Rest is about 4 miles from the trailhead, so I didn’t have too much further to go. And wouldn’t you know it, a couple of dayhikers arrived. Of course, now was time for my Yogi skills while chatting. (Yogi’ing is in honor of Yogi Bear who was always after a pic-a-nic basket. So, to yogi is to receive some food or other assistance from others who are interested in your trail tales.) They were very friendly and I was able to secure a ride from the trailhead! I just had to get there in time.
Now the goal was to make it to the trailhead by 2:00, when the friendly dayhikers agreed to pick me up. They were camped in a nearby Campground and not actually parked at the trailhead. It was after noon, so that would mean 4 miles in 2 hours. 2 miles an hour is definitely doable especially with the gentle terrain. Getting a ride and getting into town is motivation to move quickly. I did and made it to the trailhead about 1:35. I waited until they arrived and then enjoyed the short ride to the train station to my car. Thanks for the ride!
So that was it. Congrats to me for finishing the Colorado Trail! I started in 2015 and finished in 2021.

We just walked part of the Waitukubuli National Trail, Segment 2, Bellevue Chopin to Tete Morne via Morpo.
The whole trail goes from Soufriere Estate to Bellevue Chopin.

Segment 7 begins at the Goldhill Trailhead near Breckenridge, CO. Access to Breckenridge is easy via a free bus ride. The Summit Stage bus stop is not far from the trailhead.
I was hiking toward Leadville where I had left my car at the Leadville Hostel. Ownership of the Leadville Hostel has changed since I stayed there. It was $25 for a night in the bunkroom where I somehow managed to get a few hours of sleep despite some snorers. It was a very nice hostel; I would be surprised if it wasn't still.
I took the Lake County Link (pay $5 on bus) from Leadville to Frisco Station where I picked up the Summit Stage. I was hiking by 0900 on a bright, sun shiny day. The first several miles were fairly easy although mostly exposed. Evidence of the pine beatle devastation was clearly visible once again.
It was an awesome hike. The views are spectacular. Maybe the best I've seen (to this point) even better than GA Pass. Once above treeline, it is sidehill with some extremely steep areas. There were some patches of melting snow along the way.
There were quite a few CT hikers out on this day. After hiking about 12 miles which included up and over the high point of 12,495 feet, I stopped for the night. I was just short of the end of the segment.
Today was to be the last day of this section hike. I still had over 15 miles of hiking to make it to Goldhill Trailhead, and then to Breckenridge where my car was parked at the Bivvi Hostel. The morning was chilly but the sun was shining as I began to hike.
The closer I got to Breckenridge I started to notice thousands of down trees. There were criss-crossed tangled trees everywhere. It was real a blight on the landscape. Initially, I didn't know the cause. I thought maybe a new ski area was planned and the crew they sent to clear the mountain went a little overboard. Many of the trees were just on the side of the trail, but eventually someone started making what I assumed were pyres for burning. It really was shocking to see so much devastation.
As I was hiking through, I encountered some bikers who knew the cause. Evidently there has been a Mountain Pine beetle infestation. It is an epidemic which has covered over a million acres in both Colorado and Wyoming. The beetles burrow into the bark and lay eggs. As the eggs hatch, they eat the bark, thereby killing the tree. Very destructive.
I made it to Goldhill Trailhead which is still several miles from Breckenridge (Frisco is also accessible from here). Fortunately, not far away is a bus stop where I caught a free bus ride (which also goes to Frisco). It didn't go all the way to the hostel, but it was close enough. I had thought to stay at the hostel but I had not made a reservation and they were booked. (The Bivvi appears to be a very nice and clean hostel, but not just for hikers. All Breck visitors are welcome, so if you plan to stay, call ahead for a reservation.)
Overall, I was hiking for 7 days. I hiked segments 1-6 on the Colorado Trail. For anyone planning a long distance hike, these segments are a great introduction to the CT. Some difficult spots but some easy hiking as well. Awesome scenery without spending too much time above treeline. It was a great hike; I was ready for more!

A link to the mainland was promised as part of PEI joining Canada in 1873. They finally built it in 1997. This is an example of one of the segments used in the construction of the bridge. At least I hope it is; otherwise, I may need to think twice about driving over it again.

Day 3
Segment 10 random spot to Segment 11 Interlaken Trailhead
It was cold but mostly tolerable. Probably didn't need to, but since I carried it, I did use the 'woobie' which added additional warmth. During the night I heard something pelting the tent at various times. I figured frozen snow or ice pellets. There were white patches in the morning. Thermometer said 36f which was not as cold as I anticipated.
I only had about 3 miles of hiking to reach Segment 11 at the Mount Massive Trailhead. It was chilly so I did wear gloves and buff. I encountered a large boulder that had fallen on the trail. I've removed numerous trail obstructions from the Appalachian Trail, mostly blowdowns and never a large rock like this. It was easy to get around, so I don't think they will be moving it anytime soon (even if they could). Just before the trailhead I left Mount Massive Wilderness Area.
Halfmoon Creek Road leads to the Mount Massive Trailhead and is another access to Leadville. Cyclists are allowed to bike on the Colorado Trail. However, they are not permitted in Wilderness Areas. Segments 9 & 10 contain Wilderness Areas. After a detour, cyclists can rejoin the trail here. As a general rule I have not had problems with cyclists.
At the trailhead I noticed a 'No Camping' sign but the CT Databook indicates camping here. And there are nice sites so I assume the sign is for car campers. I had my coffee break here overlooking Halfmoon Creek.
Not sure how to turn this.
I need to have the interface between AllBlack rim disk and Index ring, turning at right angles to the axis or the join will be wobbly.
If I put the shaft in the chuck, I could use the tail stop to align things, then remove it.
Might be best to remove the tapered jaws, they will only be in the way.

[This series of 6 photos was taken in early morning fog] The Bank of Hampton (Hampton, South Carolina) dates from 1891-1892. The architect is known--a local man although born in France, named Vincent J. Fontaine, who designed several buildings in Hampton County. The cost of this commercial structure was just over $3000. The 2-story red brick building is in common bond and exhibits traits of Italianate architecture. The structural elements show a symmetrical arrangement, even to the side facades being almost alike. A stepped parapet with sign panel graces the front facade; the side elevations are marked by low flat parapets. A sawtooth pattern of brick is in the cornice. Raised brickwork at the corners of the front and rear facades simulates pilasters that are capped with a sort-of battlement motif. Windows throughout are characterized by segmental arches; the two bottom windows on the front elevation are larger than others in the building and have single-light transoms. All lower floor windows are covered with metal bars, necessary for the financial intention of the structure. Segmental arches are also used to top the two visible doors--the front facade and on one side facade. The slightly recessed entry has double doors of glass and paneled wood with a cast-iron sill. The bank was in operation until 1926; from the 1930s to 1960s it was used a rented commercial space with law offices on the second floor, appropriate as the county courthouse was across the street. Since 1987 the Hampton Museum and Visitors’ Center has used both floors. The Bank of Hampton was added to the National Register of Historic Places May 30, 2001 with ID#01000606. The nomination form is located at www.nationalregister.sc.gov/hampton/S10817725008/S1081772...
