Utility Shack in A'oloau, American Samoa.
Photographed with a Leica IIIc using a Leitz Summaron 3.5cm f/3.5 lens. The film is Ilford FP4+ developed in Beerenol (Rainier Beer).
Bronseplassen is a reconstructed farm from the Bronze Age which lies in Høvåg in Lillesand municipality in Aust-Agder.
The farm shows how our ancestors lived about 3,500 years ago.
The 25-meter-long and 8-meter-wide longhouse is decorated in such a way that people lived at this time, with space for cooking, food storage, sleeping places and rooms for the livestock.
The building materials of the Longhouse are cow dung, clay, twigs and peat.
Besides the longhouse, there are bark boats, labyrinth, sacrificial site and burial ground on site. arrow and archery, as well as a separate fertility labyrinth, are also demonstrated.
The bronze site has herb garden with plants that have been used for food and medicine since the Bronze Age and until our time.
The place has its own department from the Viking Age (700 - 1000 century AD) with reconstructions from the Oseberg discovery. Here is set up a large Viking tent, dragon bed, utility objects from the Viking Age and Grindehus Forge.

These Utility boxes are on a lot of the corners in Ithaca, NY and are painted by local artists.

The map is wrong, this is not in Bexley, but in Palmers Road, New Brighton. Bexley is the other side of the Avon River.

I spend a fair amount of processing time removing utility poles, cables and lines from the background of photos. At best I find them distracting and often they work against my storyline of remote and desolate locations. Not that power lines don't exist in remote locales. It's just that for me, unless the power lines-poles play a part in telling the story, it's just visual clutter that detracts from the overall image. So I shoot around them whenever possible, either to minimize their presence, or make it easier to digitally remove them later. But sometimes it's useless, and this image is a case in point. I suppose I could have gotten rid of the background poles (although it would have been painstaking where they overlap the clouds), but decided not to bother. For one thing, I needed a photo with a very glaring pole in order to illustrate this narrative. And two, the presence of the poles doesn't really lower the impact of (or reason for taking) the photo. My main thought here was to show the striking, high contrast landscape that seems to dominate sunny days at this point in the year. The low sun angle seems to capture a million points of texture, and even the shadows seem alive. That story would be the same here, poles or no poles. I love how the pine boughs help frame the top of the photo. I stood here for quite a while, studying the light and working with the composition and exposure. The trick with these is to come up with a solution that holds the sky detail as well as the shadows, and produces a dramatic lens flare.
The Humber FWD Heavy Utility Car was a continuation of the *Super Snipe, using the same engine, but introducing 4x4 drive. In addition to being used as a GS (general service) truck, it was also used as an FFW (fitted for wireless) truck and an ambulance. The chassis of the Humber FWD was furthermore used for the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car.

The "Box" was the only 4x4 heavy utility car produced by the British in WWII. It was used as a staff and command car and had provisions for a folding map board behind the front two seats. The two rearmost passenger seats doubled as cargo space (folding up if needed) and were accessed by double doors at the rear. The other four seats were accessed by side doors. When used in Africa, some had the hard top replaced by a canvas type.
* The Humber Super Snipe is a car that was produced from 1938 to 1967 by the British-based Humber car company, part of the Rootes Group.
The Super Snipe was introduced in October 1938, derived by combining the four-litre inline six-cylinder engine from the larger Humber Pullman with the chassis and body of the Humber Snipe, normally powered by a three-litre engine. The result was a car of enhanced performance and a top speed of 79 mph (127 km/h) —fast for its day. Its design was contributed to by American engine genius Delmar "Barney" Roos who left a successful career at Studebaker to join Rootes in 1936. :p247
The Super Snipe was marketed to upper-middle-class managers, professional people and government officials. It was relatively low-priced for its large size and performance, and was similar to American cars in appearance and concept, and in providing value for money.
Within a year of introduction, World War II broke out in Europe but the car continued in production as a British military staff car, the Car, 4-seater, 4x2, while the same chassis was used for an armoured reconnaissance vehicle, the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car.

For the Dept. of Homeland Security's Federal Protective Service Police. The FPS has been switching to the Utility Interceptor as of late, to replace the older Tahoe's.
A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
Utility room African style with a wood-fired boiler in the corner, called "donkey," and the job instructions for the farm workers on the wall.
The photo was taken on Farm Rietfontein, Dordabis, and uploaded for Monochrome Monday....and Wall Wednesday.

Have a wonderful week, everyone!
Wild flowers growing nearby decorate this Utility Box! They appear to be wild daisies. It makes an otherwise plain box get some beauty!
The land next to the Betterbuys supermarket is being marketed for development. The electric junction boxes for each plot are being connected before any other work.

Fat chair/bench among the water meters. . . a place for the gardener to eat his lunch, perhaps, back in the days when there were hired gardeners? A curious frame. . .
HBM!!
I appreciate what appears to be a handmade chair--certainly not bought ready-made from a store--back in the 1920s.
