A bit bigger than a domestic version, this mill at St. Monans was used to pump up sea-water into 9 salt-pans where the water was heated to aid evaporation & hence produce salt for local use and for export. In the late 18th century salt was a valuable commodity & Scotland's 3rd largest export after fish and wool. The foundations in the foreground are the only ones left from the original 9 pans.
However moves are afoot to revive salt-making, albeit on a much smaller scale www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-55485370
L'isola dei Pescatori, conosciuta anche come Superiore (in dialetto locale Isola di Pescador), è l'unica dell'arcipelago delle Borromee nel Lago Maggiore (comune di Stresa) ad essere stabilmente abitata.
Larga 100 metri per 350 di lunghezza, ospita un piccolo borgo, dalle caratteristiche case a più piani (con lunghi balconi per essiccare il pesce), con una piazzetta, caratteristici vicoli stretti, il lungolago e la via principale per permettere gli spostamenti rigorosamente a piedi dei 57 abitanti che vivono di pesca e turismo.
Abitata da almeno 700 anni l'isola dispone di una parrocchia dedicata a san Vittore e un belvedere alberato dal lato opposto.
D'estate gode di una grande affluenza di visitatori che passeggiano nei vicoli e comprano oggetti di artigianato locale nel piccolo e caratteristico mercatino. Famosa a Ferragosto è la processione della statua del santo protettore dell'arcipelago su una barca intorno alle isole, circondata da numerosi natanti di turisti e di abitanti della zona

Here comes the wind and rain! I made this image at Grand Marais, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. One of the world's most beautiful wild beaches. It was a nasty, windy, rainy, snowy, wave pounding day---but great for photography!

I found this 1977-78 Chrysler LeBaron coupe at T&B Motors on Raymond and Bluff Rd in Indianapolis. Of course this rare example is already sold. Hopefully someone will restore it to it's former glory. It was rainy, cold and windy so most of my shots were bad quality but I managed to salvage a couple.
I have spent many hours over the years searching the rocky shores of Lake Superior for the elusive agate.

The S/S Kinsman Independent, lodged at the old Great Northern vator in Superior, Wisconsin. It was excellent seeing this steamer on a nice fall evening. It won't happen again.

I love seeing these cardinals. This one is a male. Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona. A very popular bird, the Northern Cardinal is the state bird of 7 different states.
To celebrate being together for 21 years (and going vegan 15 years ago!) we drove to Upper Michigan for the day. After picking up some vegan pasties, we visited Presque Isle Park in Marquette and enjoyed a perfect picnic looking out at Lake Superior. It was a delicious lunch with quite the grand view!
It is hard to believe that the warmth of this image, was created on one of the coldest evenings, on the north shore.

My final posting from our quick trip "Up North" last weekend.
It was a moody mix of sunshine, wind and clouds most of the day, but enjoyed the challenge of it!
Never a dull moment on the big lake!
"Happy Easter to all my flickr friends and cousins! :)
