the Torre dell'Arenella, part of the complex of the Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc ... was built in 1852 by Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), who had called a Dutchman to draw up the project. It served as a windmill or mechanical mill to grind sumac, a grass which, reduced to powder, was indispensable for the tanning of hides.
It worked for a few years, the exports were booming, then the workers began to get smart, mixing fake herb powder with that of the precious sumac, the result: the mill closed and business in smoke.
The tower also served as a lighthouse, as reported by an old nautical map of the port.
Arenella perhaps owes its name to the fine sand that once covered its coast.

la Torre dell'Arenella, facente parte del complesso della Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc...fu fatta costruire nel 1852 da Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), che aveva chiamato un olandese per redigerne il progetto. Ebbe funzione di mulino a vento o meccanico per macinare il sommacco, un'erba, che, ridotta in polvere, era indispensabile per la concia delle pelli.
Funzionò per qualche anno, le esportazioni a gonfie vele, poi le maestranze cominciarono a fare i furbi, mescolando polvere di erbe fasulle a quella del prezioso sommacco, risultato: mulino chiuso e affari in fumo.
La torre ebbe anche funzione di Faro, come riportato da una vecchia carta nautica del Porto .
L'Arenella forse deve il suo nome alla fina sabbia che una volta ricopriva il suo litorale .
The combination of Smoke from the forest fires in Alberta Canada, steam from the Grand Prismatic Stream and a Setting sun

Much of Minnesota was choked with smoke from Canadian fires and a couple of our own for much of the summer of 2021.
"Explored" on Flickr, Nov 24, 2021
It almost looks like low cloud cover but this is all smoke from last summers fires. It was nice to get above it and not have to breath the smoke for a bit.
Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ and visits they are so very much appreciated.
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image)
The pistils in the middle of the flowers of Prairie Smoke Geum develop into heads of seeds with long fuzzy hairs that point upwards. The hairs resemble mauve smoke, hence the name prairie smoke. These collected some overnight dew, adding to their delicate beauty.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday! Thank you all for your visits, comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Peaceful harbor in Georgetown, SC, with the backdrop of smokestacks of International Paper, one of the largest (if not the largest) paper mills in the world. I kind of like how the smoke envelopes the boat and the overall contrast between serene beauty and industrial ugliness.
I will be traveling again for the next week, without much time for flickr. Дорогие фликр-друзья в Питере: еЕсли у вас есть желание что-нибудь поснимать вместе, дайте мне знать.

pretty patterns. For Macro Mondays, the theme is 'Smoke'. I used an incense cone and put a small upside down funnel on top to lead the smoke through. Happy Macro Mondays/ HMM

Woke up to our first real smokey day this morning...darn! It's been so nice to have had a smoke-free summer so far. After I took this picture the smoke descended to the lake but started to clear later in the day so it wasn't so bad.
Rising sun in Petoskey, Michigan, about 500 miles from the Canadian fires in Quebec. You can smell the smoke in the air, it feel like someone is burning stuff in their backyard. The days are hazy, people cough, and I got a headache at the end of the day. The smoke has been coming in for about a week; I can't imagine what it can be like on site.
I was experimenting with smoke photography (not easy to achieve) and managed to capture this interesting pattern. I then did some post processing to give it colour and more form.
I found this instrumental track which I thought went with the image.......enjoy
