I was lucky enough to stay on a tea plantation in Bengal, India for a few days. The photo opportunities were wonderful, but I found out later that while trying to shoot some very loud Hornbills, I was just the other side of a wire fence/bushes from a leopard who had attacked a goat, thus the warning noise from the birds!!
Ein Spielzeug ist ein Objekt, das zum Spielen verwendet wird. Der Begriff Spielzeug wird üblicherweise mit Kindern oder auch Haustieren assoziiert, es ist aber auch nicht ungewöhnlich, dass Erwachsene oder nicht domestizierte Tiere mit Spielzeug spielen.

If I was to pick the worst job in the world I have ever witnessed, it would be without doubt this one.
Firstly these workers extract the sulphur from active volcano and brake into pieces. They do this with minimum protection, and gases at the bottom of the rim make it very difficult to breathe. Then they carry the load of as much as 90kg to the top of the rip (about 200 meters) and then several kilometers down the mountain. They make this journey two or three times a day and earn on average of us$5 a day.
Bear that in mind next time you gonna complain about your job.

Workers in one of the leather tanneries in Fez, Morocco. In those days, I was too poor (and mean) to pay a tip to be taken to a higher vantage point which would have been so much more interesting.
I gather it’s quite a tourist attraction now.

In Mexico City, there is much evidence of an industrious workforce, as exemplified by this man's business office. (This image will also be ound in my Albums: "Favorite B&W Photographs," and "Favorite Street Photography Photographs.")
The estate of houses, built in the second half of the 19th century for workers at the Żyrardów Linen Factory. It was planned on the basis of terraced housing and regular quarters with residential houses made of unrendered brick. The oldest date back to 1867. The houses still feature characteristic wooden outbuildings with galleries and stairs for residents of these brick buildings.
Żyrardów - small town in Central Poland, located in the Mazovia region. It owes its unique atmosphere to the characteristic architecture of an industrial town. The original spatial layout of the community, which grew around a manufacturing plant in the mid-19th century, has been preserved to the present day. The historic center of Żyrardów (mostly buildings from red bricks) is the only industrial architecture complex from the turn of the 20th c. in Europe that has been preserved to modern times in full. The old settlement covers a 76-ha area in the central part of the town. Diversified architectural forms and styles characterize the city, which has resulted from the multi-cultural character of Żyrardów. The flax trade gave the town its origins. A factory manufacturing flax that was one of the largest and modern factories in Europe was established there in 1829. Karol Dittrich and Karol Hielle, two industrialists from Germany, founded the plant. The town derives its name from the first technical director of the plant, Philip de Girard who, among others, invented a mechanical flax-spinning machine.

Osiedle domów mieszkalnych, wybudowane w drugiej połowie XIXw. dla pracowników Zakładów Lniarskich w Żyrardowie. Zaplanowane zostało w oparciu o zabudowę szeregową oraz regularne kwartały z domami z nieotynkowanej cegły. Najstarsze pochodzą z 1867r. Przy domach zachowały się charakterystyczne drewniane budynki gospodarcze z galeryjkami i schodami przeznaczone dla mieszkańców ceglanych budynków.
Żyrardów leży w centrum Polski, na Mazowszu. Swój niepowtarzalny klimat zawdzięcza charakterystycznej architekturze miasta zaprojektowanej w połowie XIX stulecia. Zabytkowe centrum Żyrardowa jest jedynym w Europie zachowanym w całości zespołem urbanistyczno-architektonicznym miasta przemysłowego przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Osada fabryczna obejmuje centralną część miasta o powierzchni ok. 76 ha. Charakteryzuje ją różnorodność form architektonicznych i stylów, co wynika ze zróżnicowania narodowościowego mieszkańców Żyrardowa. Początek miastu dała fabryka lniarska, która powstała na terenie dzisiejszego Żyrardowa w 1829 roku. Była to jedna z największych i najnowocześniejszych fabryk ówczesnej Europy. Została założona przez dwóch przemysłowców z Niemiec: Karola Dittricha i Karola Hielle. Żyrardów zawdzięcza swą nazwę pierwszemu dyrektorowi technicznemu fabryki, Philipowi de Girard. Był on m.in. wynalazcą maszyny do mechanicznego przędzenia lnu.

Estátua Mariana Torres.
Mariana Torres, a cannery worker murdered in 1911 during a demonstration in defense of workers' rights.
The statue by Jorge Pé-Curto in Largo da Fonte Nova was unveiled on International Women's Day in 2016.
The sculpture, measuring four meters high and two meters wide, made of white marble, depicts the face of a woman with her eyes blindfolded, a motif that evokes the "Setúbal Executions," an event that occurred on March 13, 1911, on Avenida Luísa Todi, in which Mariana Torres and António Mendes, cannery workers, were killed during a struggle for better working conditions.
Having traveled to the renowned Fort Myers, Florida, shrimp docks, I photographed this interesting fellow working there. Nice T-shirt: "I didn't Mean To Offend You. That Was Just A Bonus." I guess you develop an attitude hauling shrimp everyday.
Well-preserved on the outside. Original railing, too. The downspout is rather ugly though...could've been placed elsewhere.
