"What the two hands of the labourer can achieve, the capitalist will never get with all his gold and silver"
Mahathma Gandhi
I am drawn to this old suspension bridge in one of our local parks. I know when the best light is but, even better, I know its history as a WPA-build in 1938. I feel the pride of those workers every time I get down here with my camera and love taking it in b/w. A parks' colleague did replace the suspension cabling around 2000 or so.
To earn 1,000 Sri Lankan rupees, workers must harvest at least 18kg per day otherwise they get a lower rate per kilo. These fees are set by the government which also leases the tea estates to companies

La Cour des Voraces, un lieu emblématique de la Croix-Rousse, où la force de l’architecture et la mémoire des canuts se rencontrent. Les lignes de l’escalier monumental donnent à cette traboule lyonnaise une atmosphère unique et intemporelle.

The Cour des Voraces, an iconic landmark in Lyon’s Croix-Rousse district, where powerful architecture meets the memory of the silk workers. The lines of its monumental staircase give this historic traboule a unique and timeless atmosphere.
The winter morning shadows in Richfield County Park highlight the efforts of the WPA development here in the late 1930s, such as infrastructure (the "highway" bridge shown), tree planting ,etc.
Honnêtement, ce jour du 14 décembre 2022 était une journée en or pour la photo de rue, alors ne vous étonnez pas si vous en voyez d'autres à venir... :-)
C'est tout le problème des jours fastes : il faut quand même bien choisir plutôt que tout publier d'un coup et savoir que peu de gens les verront toutes.
En cette période de Nouvelle Année 2023, je tiens cependant à préciser que cette averse de neige risque fort d'être la première et la dernière de l'hiver 2022 - 2023.
Au moins je l'aurai immortalisée !
On aura quand même eu UNE SEMAINE D'HIVER cette année !
Quel luxe.
La preuve s'il en est que le réchauffement climatique... Hein ? Hé. Oh. Bon. :o)
Cependant cela ne doit pas nous faire oublier que, une semaine ou trois mois, travailler dans le froid et sous la neige n'est une bonne nouvelle que pour les privilégiés que les photographes sont. :-)
The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.
There are many plantation workers on the cameron highlands, most arriving from overseas, mainly from places like nepal. Working the plantations can be risky, with snake bites a major concern.
