An oil skimmer busy removing oil from a waterway. The cord drapes in the water and oil sticks to it, then is transported by the wheels and squeegeed off into the boom and down to a storage tank. It's then recycled.
Not much of a shot but I doubt many of you have ever seen one of these -- a mess, huh?

Hubert Scheibl, 1952 "... und dahinter die Unendlichkeit (2001: Odysee im Weltraum) "and Infinity Beyond" (2001: A Space Odyssey), 2003-2005 (Albertina - Sammlung Batliner)
The Play between Realism and Vagueness
Already in 1990, the Vienna-based painter Hubert Scheibl was exhibited in New York side by side with American Ross Bleckner. Scheibl's paintings are abstract and impressive because of their sheer seize, atmosphere, and spatial depth. Also, they are informed by latent representationalism. His painting style if often compared to Gerhard Richter. What they have in common, though, ist only the painting tool, the broad squeegee, which they both use: for while Richter unfolds no painterly space, applying many consecutive layers of paint to the canvas, Scheibl builds his pictorial space already with the first layer of paint. He first lays the paint on with a brush and then smoothens it out with a squeegee. He then places broad brushstrokes, some with deliberation, others randomly, on this grounding. If placed in the bottom area of the painting, these brushstrokes create the impression of a horizon, evoking in the viewer mental images of landscapes, oceans, or far-out galaxies.
Ross Bleckner's career started out in the 1980s in New York, where he exhibited together with friends and exponents of "New Painting," with Julian Schnabel, Eric Fischl, and David Salle. His oeuvre is comprised of widely different groups of works: paintings about AIDS, night skies, pictures of birds, flowers, and human cells. Ever since the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, Ross Bleckner has internalized a strong sense of human mortality. He executes his floral paintings with fastidious care like still lifes. The he pulls a squeegee across the still wet canvas, blurring contours and details to the point of making them unrecognizable. This play between realism and blurry vagueness is what Bleckner has in common with both Gerhard Richter and Hubert Scheibl. For Bleckner, the quiet disappearance of the representational speaks of the transient nature of the world. For Hubert Scheibl, on the other hand, blurriness is what affords viewers freedom of association.
Das Spiel zwischen Realismus und Unschärfe
Bereits 1990 ist der in Wien tätige Hubert Scheibl mit dem Amerikaner Ross Bleckner in einer Ausstellung in New zu sehen. Scheibls Bilder sind abstrakt und beeindrucken durch ihre Größe, Atmosphäre und räumliche Tiefe. Zugleich sind sie jedoch von einer unterschwelligen Gegenständlichkeit bestimmt. Seine Malerei wird of mit der von Gerhard Richter verglichen. Die Gemeinsamkeiten beschränken sich allerdings auf da Malwerkzeug, die breite Spachtel, die beiden verwenden: Denn während Gerhard Richter keinen malerischen Raum aufbaut, baut Hubert Scheibl seinen Bildraum bereits mit der ersten Malschicht auf. Er trägt die Farben zunächst mit dem Pinsel auf und zieht sie dann mit der Spachtel glatt ab. Dann setzt er einzelne breite Pinselstriche auf den Untergrund, teils planvoll, teils zufallsgesteuert. Werden die Pinselstriche am unteren Rand der Bilder platziert, wirken sie wie ein Horizont und lassen im Kopf des Betrachters Bilder von Landschaften, Meeren oder weit entfernten Galaxien entstehen.
Ross Bleckners Karrier beginnt in den 1980er-Jahren in New York, wo er mit befreundeten Vertretern der sogenannten "Neuen Malerei" ausstellt, mit Julian Schnabel, Eric Fischl und David Salle. Sein Oeuvre umfasst ganz unterschiedliche Werkgruppen: Bilder, die Aids zum Thema haben, Nachthimmel, Vogelgemälde, Blumenbilder und menschliche Zellen. Seit der Aids-Krise in den 1980er-Jahren hat Ross Bleckner das Gefühl der Sterblichkeit verinnerlicht. Seine Blumenbilder malt er so sorgfältig wie Stillleben. Dann zieht er eine breite Spachtel über die noch nasse Farbe und verwischt Details und Umrisse der Gegenstände bis zur Unkenntlichkeit. Das Spiel zwischen Realismus und Unschärfe hat er bis zu dieser Zeit mit Gerhard Richter und Hubert Scheibl gemeinsam. Für Ross Bleckner handelt dieses leise Verschwinden des Gegenständlichen von der Vergänglichkeit der Welt. Für Hubert Scheibl hingegen verschafft die Unschärfe dem Betrachter die Freiheit zu Assoziationen.
The focus of Albertina Contemporary Art is on the art of the second half of the 20th century. Both the stars and the diversity of post-1945 art will be on display: works by Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Arnulf Rainer, Georg Baselitz, Alex Katz and Maria Lassnig, among others, form the centerpiece of this year's presentation of contemporary positions from the ALBERTINA.
Around 80 masterpieces illustrate the multi-faceted artistic production, ranging from hyperrealism to abstraction, from facets of aesthetics of color to political topics, and illustrate the complex parallel currents of the past decades.

i love this sterling icon. he's been around since i was little. wish i knew more about his history (anybody?).
I'd lived in my Hsinchu neighborhood for several months before I noticed the "recycling" lady. Now I see her frequently with her load of cardboard and plastic. And after a while I also realized that there's a guy who hangs out in front of the same little shop almost every afternoon. I started to think of him as "The homeless guy", although I really don't think he's homeless. In fact, I've seen very few people in Taiwan that I thought were truly homeless and even fewer beggars.
When I lived in Atlanta (Georgia, USA) the street bums had a whole range of stories, ploys and scams designed to separate me from my money. Busy street corners were worked by men armed with squirt bottles of water and squeegees offering to wash my windshield. Men in wheelchairs rolled up and down freeway off ramps hoping that their sad life would touch my heart and open my purse. Ladies would lay in wait near the gas pumps to tell me how they only needed two dollars to get enough gas to be able to drive to where ever their little children were waiting for them. Young people sat by the edge of the road with their loyal doggie companions and a sign that asked nothing for themselves, just a small donation for dog food. And it was worse when I was walking around and couldn't just roll up my window to keep them away.
I've only been approached for money once here in Taiwan, and I don't see homeless drunks sleeping on the sidewalks. It took me several months to even be aware that it didn't happen. I sure don't miss it and since I walk a lot here, I'm very glad not to have the hassle.

It worked. We played 3 or 4 sets' worth of tennis that morning. And without one puddle on the court.
Tigger went to his follow up vet visit yesterday. He's been dropping more weight, and is now about 11 pounds, which is two pounds under his usual weight.
Dr. Shroyer seems to be a very good vet, but he's a little pricier than the last one was. (Actually, a lot.) I spend at least $150 every time I walk in, and I've been there three times in the last couple of months. This visit ran $225, and he called me today to ask if I wanted to re-do the thyroid test, since it was borderline. That's another $90. Of course, I said yes, all the while wondering how I'd have anything left to treat him with!
Here's what I DO know. Tigger isn't diabetic. He doesn't have kidney failure. Everything tests pretty normal. He is on oral antibiotics now, because Dr. Shroyer thought he might be exhibiting symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Tonight, I will have to give Tigger his first pill, and this should prove to be interesting. I'm good at giving them to Squeegee, but he doesn't have claws! Tigger is pretty lethal. Hopefully, he'll be agreeable!
If Tig's thyroid comes back normal, then we're still baffled. It still could be cancer, as some forms don't really show up in the blood work. There really isn't any explanation for why he's dropping so much weight.
This photo was taken back in September of 2008, when Tigger had first started living with me. Looking at him now, it's scary to me to realize that he looks so much older, thinner, and debilitated. I haven't taken any recent pics because to be honest, he's really not crazy about it, and I don't want him to be uncomfortable. One of these days, though, I'll grab a few shots when he's in a good mood.
Please keep Tigger in your prayers. He's a good boy, and the last four years have been good for him. I don't think he would have lived this long had I not taken him in, but I'm really not ready to lose him after only four years. Please pray for my finances, too, as I've only been pulling minimum wage, and these vet bills have been astronomical this year. (I have two other old cats, Barrymore, who is diabetic and on insulin, and Squeegee, who is doing well right now, but is about 15 years old. He was on pain meds for years, and is now weaned off them.) I've spent thousands on these guys this past year, and just their food and litter is running me close to $75 a week! I've been scraping by, but I'm really struggling. People have suggested I put them down, but they are like children to me. I'll continue to do without as long as I can to help them. Euthanasia is not an option, at least, not unless they are suffering and I CAN'T help them! Please pray....
My youngest cat is Barrymore, a Siamese mix whom I've had since he was a tiny kitten. When I first got Barrymore, he was one of the most beautiful kittens I'd ever seen, but he was so nasty that I considered calling him Dracula, or Nosferatu! He particularly liked latching his teeth into the flesh between my thumb and forefinger, and hanging on! I had actually told the vet's receptionist that his name was Dracula when something happened to change it.
Since kittens will play with wires and pretty much destroy everything, I kept Barrymore in the bathroom when he was unattended. He used his carrier as a bed/ sanctuary, and consequently has always been the cat I've had the least amount of trouble getting into his carrier when needed, even when he was a whopping 20 lbs., and very powerful! One morning, I put on my bathrobe, which was terry with a tied belt, and walked into the bathroom to greet him. His eyes widened like a lemur's and he flew through the air, leaping on the ties of my bathrobe, and swinging like a swashbuckler on a chandelier in one of the old movies! That was when I knew I had to name him after one of the actors from that period, but which one?
After prying my feisty kitten off my robe, I started naming a couple of movie stars, starting with Errol Flynn, who was my favorite. I named Basil Rathbone, and then, John Barrymore. When I said Barrymore, he looked up at me, and did so every time I said it. So, my little swashbuckler was named after one of Hollywood's greats!
Barrymore became very attached to my mother. She loved him, too, although she wouldn't admit it until right before her death, when we found out that hospice would allow More-More to stay with her for a while, and she perked up with a smile and said she wanted "HER" Barrymore there! When I brought him, she was sleeping, and he went up to her, and then came to me and stood on my foot, something he'd only done with my mom. It was a bonding thing, and that's when I knew she really was dying. He knew. He spent the next couple of days at the foot of her bed, only leaving when the nurses made him, or to eat or use his box. When they made me bring him home, Mom took a definite turn for the worse. When she passed, and didn't come home with me, Barrymore transferred his affection to me, and became very clingy and loving.
Now at 12 years old, Barrymore is thinner than he was, but has diabetes and is on insulin twice a day. He is the most cuddly of my cats, and would stay on my lap most of the time if I let him. He's very sweet natured now, at least with me. Squeegee might say otherwise! He's also very dominant, so there are frequent spats at my house between him and his older brother!
This past week, both of my kitties have been acting weird- not eating much, and seeming depressed and on edge. They know Tigger is gone, too, and seem to be missing him, even Barrymore, who didn't particularly like Tigger. Cats are some of the most perceptive creatures on the planet, I think, and I'm hoping my last two live very long, happy lives!

I used to think of myself as a tidy person, but this photo reflects something quite different. Funny how our priorities change over the years.
This photo is busy. I like busy. Sure the conventional wisdom is to make it simple, then simply more. True this works for some photos, but should this keep us from appreciating a busy photo?
OK this is a junkscape, I know this is to have a low appeal, so lets have some fun. Think Waldo.

This is my oldest cat, Squeegee. How I found him was interesting. I worked at a fabric store, and when I'd take lunch and eat outside at a picnic table, this scroungy grey tabby cat would come over and schmooze me. He had a voice that seemed to sound like he was yelling, with noises going on loudly for an indefinite period of time, as he looked you in the eye and demanded attention. Eventually, I called him Mr. Bill, after the claymation character on Saturday night live, since when he cried, "OH, NOOOOOOOOO!!!" it was like this cat's cries.
Over the next few months, Mr. Bill and I got close. I fed him, and even took him to the vet after he got into a bad fight and was torn up pretty badly. Eventually, he began to introduce me to his whole family, which included a lovely, pale female cat that looked like an Egyptian Mau, or a mix of oriental breeds, with gorgeous, aqua eyes. She and Mr. Bill were definitely "in love"! Then one day, six little kittens showed up! They were tiny, probably only about 4 weeks old, but they were in a large oak tree learning to climb, and being shown the ropes by a striking, orange swirled cat who bore the distinctive bullseye that Mr. Bill had on his side, but had the slender, elongated face of Mr. Bill's mate, whom I'd begun to call Isis.
My first encounter with the orange cat was funny. He was a big tom, and seemed so fearless climbing in the trees, but around Mr. Bill he was quite submissive. I talked to him, and attempted to pet him, and he hissed at me. Shortly after being lured with food, he began to talk to me, and he didn't meow; he squeaked in high pitched eeks!
Pretty soon I was taking care of 9 cats every day. I decided to adopt Mr. Bill and brought him to the vet to be tested for diseases. To my heartbreak, he turned out to have feline AIDS. Since I already had a little, old female at home, I couldn't take him in. It broke my heart! So, I had him neutered to try to stop the fighting behavior, so he would be less likely to spread the disease to other cats, and brought him back to live outside the fabric store. Within the week, I found a home for Mr. Bill, and he and his new owners loved each other.
I then decided to adopt the big, orange cat. I brought him to the vet and he was disease free, so he came home that day. When my mother heard him squeaking, she said I should name him Squeegee. We called him Squeeks for short.
One year after Squeegee came home with me, I had become more attached to him than any other pet I'd ever had. He was highly "interactive", waiting his turn to answer me when I talked to him! He was smart, and learned commands, and we were inseparable. Then one day, Squeegee began to become ill. Violently ill. He kept vomiting, and was lethargic. I rushed him to the vet and after blood panels and tests, they didn't know what was wrong, just that all his organs were enlarged, and he was in kidney failure! When my vet couldn't do any more to find out what was wrong, I took him to specialists in Winter park. $2500 later, we STILL didn't know what was wrong with Squeeks, except that he needed to be on pain killers and a drug which made his appetite kick back in, as he'd lost 6 lbs. in a short period of time. I was frantic! I loved this cat like a kid, and I was about to lose him!
As time went by, Squeegee recovered, but was never able to come off the pain meds. now, 12 years later, he's still on them, but he's doing quite well most of the time. I ended up in bankruptcy court, partially due to the thousands I spent trying to save his life, but Squeegee remains my baby cat, even though he's now my geriatric, baby cat!
Squeek's most beautiful features are his lovely, amber eyes, with slight flecks of green like his father, Mr. Bill, and his wonderful bullseye swirls. He's as sweet as he is beautiful, and as he ages, I know one day he won't be around anymore and I don't know what I'll do without him. Squeegee is my baby.
Use hot, clean water to wash off the excess soap out of your shower doors and tiles. Why heat water? Letting the water run to a warmer temperature enables release leftover buildup.
You just wiped clean off the water spots, so why might you permit greater water spots to shape? Sponging off the door and tiles is a critical step in cleaning your shower. Additionally, drying off the tiles submit-bathe every morning will slow down the boom of mold, mold and cleaning soap scum in the first vicinity.
As with maximum cleaning, the first-class way to save you time for the big easy is to reduce down on filth earlier than it even begins. Invest in a good squeegee, then wipe down your tile after every bath. You don’t want there to be water accumulation on the bottom of the bathtub both, so after you squeegee the wall, sop up extra water with a sponge.
You also can try the towel technique. Keep a simple sheet near your shower used in basic terms for drying the tiles after your soak. Yes, this will take a little time in the morning before you head out to work, but having clean shower tiles that seem like new after so many years experience incredible and can add cost to your private home as nicely.
A clean bath is a beautiful issue. But in case you’d alternatively be outside taking part in the day instead of home scrubbing the rest room, provide your self a wreck! Give The Maids a name at 1-800-THE-MAIDS. We’ll have your property brilliant and vibrant when you’re geared up to stroll through the door.

Hopefully it will dry up by summertime. This would be so fun to skate. Smooth and clean once the water goes away. May have to go and buy a squeegee.
I am not sure it is accurate to call this window washer "low tech". His process is non-electronic, but he showed up with a huge array of scrubbers, squeegees, and even a little bucket that hangs from his belt.
Our Daily Challenge: LOW TECH
This is #4 in my 100 strangers assignment. More strangers around the world in the Photo challenge: 100 strangers group pool!
I went for a wee walk at lunchtime with a view to getting "A stranger". I saw this window cleaner and asked if he would let me take his photo. He said if I was quick, as he had a lot to do before the rain started. After I took it we continued to talk as he squeegeed the window and he told me he had an old Olympus camera and "never had a bad photo yet". His son got him a digital camera and he couldn't work it out... I think the phrase he used was "effing useless!". Decent guy though. Nice chat. Cheers Bill.

A funny thing happened today.... The windowwasher was washing the windows and Mr. Pug did not like that one bit. After barking furiously for a few minutes, Puggy realized the annoying person with the squeegee was not going to leave anytime soon. So he grabbed Tigger, paced from room to room (with Tigger) and finally went to the far side of our home.
Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy www.lloydhotel.com/ is an interesting building with a lot of history (started as emigrant’s hotel, then as a prison & and then artist workshops) and is a good example of preservation rather than demolition. The rooms are equipped with furniture from famous contemporary Dutch artists and for the bathrooms they came up with these incredible fold-away bathrooms in the middle of the room.
A squeegee is used to spread batter on a spinning griddle for Shandong-style big jian bing (大煎饼), giant Chinese egg pancakes at Shandong Sha Da Culiang Jianbing (山东傻大粗粮煎饼) in Beijing, China - later an egg will be spread over the batter by the same method and the pancake will be removed with a palette knife.

Richter created various painting pictures from black-and-white photographs during the 1960s and early 1970s, basing them on a variety of sources: from newspapers and books, sometimes incorporating their captions, as in Helga Matura (1966); private snapshots; aerial views of towns and mountains, for example Cityscape Madrid (1968) and Alps (1968); seascapes (1969–70); and a large multi-partite work made for the German Pavilion in the 1972 Venice Biennale, Forty-eight Portraits (1971–2), for which he chose mainly the faces of composers such as Gustav Mahler and Jean Sibelius, and of writers such as H. G. Wells and Franz Kafka.[6]
Many of these paintings are made in a multi-step process of representations. He starts with a photograph, which he has found or taken himself, and projects it onto his canvas, where he traces it for exact form. Taking his color palette from the photograph, he paints to replicate the look of the original picture. His hallmark "blur"—sometimes a softening by the light touch of a soft brush, sometimes a hard smear by an aggressive pull with his squeegee—has two effects:[citation needed]
It offers the image a photographic appearance; and
Paradoxically, it testifies the painter's actions, both skilled and coarse, and the plastic nature of the paint itself.
In some paintings blurs and smudges are severe enough to disrupt the image; it becomes hard to understand or believe. The subject is nullified.[original research?] In these paintings, images and symbols (such as landscapes, portraits, and news photos) are rendered fragile illusions, fleeting conceptions in our constant reshaping of the world.
"Heb je veiligheidsschoenen aan?"
"Als je veiligheidsschoenen aanhebt, heb ik wel een helm voor je!"
Een half uur later kwam ik terug — met stalen neuzen en een snelle lens. In de sporthal werd de vloer gestort.
De geselecteerde foto toont drie werkers, verspreid over de hal: rechts iemand bezig met het egaliseren van het cement, iets links daarvan iemand die een meting verricht, en helemaal links een derde persoon met een brede trekker — door de beweging bijna onzichtbaar. Helemaal rechts, net voor hen, staat een meetinstrument opgesteld.
De compositie, ondanks de lichte bewegingsonscherpte, is krachtig: de ritmiek van de dakconstructie, de lichtinval via de raampartij rechts, en de balans tussen mens en ruimte maken het beeld af.
🇬🇧 "Are you wearing safety shoes?"
"If you are, I've got a helmet for you!"
Half an hour later I was back — steel toes on, fast autofocus lens mounted. Inside the sports hall, the floor was being poured.
The selected photo shows three workers across the hall: on the right, someone leveling the fresh cement; to the left of him, someone taking measurements; and far left, a third figure using a wide floor squeegee — nearly invisible due to motion blur. A measuring instrument stands in the foreground, right of center.
Despite the slight motion softness, the composition is strong: the rhythm of the roof structure, the light through the right window façade, and the human presence within the space create a well-balanced scene.

暴风雨让美国馆Diploma员工工作双倍
正当外面雷声隆隆的时候，我们正安坐在办公室里。倾盆大雨中我们的对话机也忙得好像打大风一样。一学生大使在对讲机中喊 “我们需要人在这里拖地！”。当值的运营经理马上回应“Call Diploma 的员工吧！”
Diploma 的员工负责维持美国馆的清洁和保养。每天我们的大门有超过45,000客人通过，馆里馆外都需要很多人的巨大奉献和辛勤工作才能保持整个美国馆清洁。他们也算是我们美国馆一群无名的英雄吧，也因为他们的存在，让我们能够给客人一个崇高理想的体验。
Storms Double Diploma’s Duties at USA Pavilion
We sat in the office as the thunder rumbled above. Rain poured down as our walkie-talkie crackled to life. “We need people down here with mops and squeegees!,” shouted a Student Ambassador. The ‘duty ops’ manager swiftly responded, “Call Diploma!”
Diploma is responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of the USA Pavilion. With more than 45,000 guests passing through the doors daily, it requires enormous dedication and hard work to keep our pavilion clean. They are some of the unsung heroes of the USA Pavilion, who, along with the other staffs here, enable us to give guests a good experience.
