Just outside our Mira Loma, California terminal I noticed a guy pushing branches into a woodchipper, part of a tree trimming crew. Didn't think much about it until I looked up and saw a guy way up in one of the trees. The light was red, so I quickly grabbed my camera from the case I store it in, and got this shot off just as the light turned green. Then this evening when I downloaded the picture I noticed another "surprise".

Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
Workmen seen boarding up windows and doors on the west side of the Illinois State Capitol Building on Saturday, January 16, 2021, as U.S. state capitals and Washington brace for potentially violent pro-Trump armed protests in wake of the U.S. Capitol Attack. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker on Friday activated 250 National Guard troops following warnings from the FBI of potential threats to state capitols leading up to the presidential inauguration. The troops are being stationed at Camp Lincoln in Springfield, minutes away from the State Capitol Building should their presence be needed.

I'm sharing three photos of sights seen on my walk today. To and fro took me 30 minutes. There was a dampness in the air, feeling like - 7 C. These workmen seemed to be vaccumming this drain.
Best viewed large by clicking on the photo. Thanks for your visits, much appreciated.
The Old Curiosity Shop in Holborn. Probably the oldest surviving shop in central London, dating from the 1567, but not the one that inspired Dickens. A 19th century owner decided to cash in on the books' success after Dickens death.
The last few days I was reminded that my travel through Central Asia also involved a long drive along the Afghanistan border, and I still remember my feelings about that drive. The other side was always near, and sometimes (like in this shot) not further away than 100 meter or so. It was like looking into an other world, (it was clear that Afghanistan was and is a country very poor compared to even Tajikistan), a forbidden world too. Although at that time it would have been possible to go into it, we were told that because of the situation in that area, it was wiser not to go. We were dreaming of driving that part, but as you can see, the shape of it means a hell of a drive.
This shot here shows a group workmen who are working on the road on the other side. My thoughts about what happens and happened in Afghanistan the last few decades are going in all sorts of directions. Poverty, politics, the role of the superpowers, and the role of religion on the one side, and on the other side friendly people everywhere. Why can't we live in peace?
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming
When Earth’s last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it – lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen Shall put us to work anew. - Rudyard Kipling

The Bund Financial Centre (BFC) is one of the most exclusive shopping centres in Shanghai. However, since its completion, it has had very few customers. Today was another unusually hot day and there were hardly any customers in the BFC. There are only a few outdoor workmen using the benches in the corners of the mall to take a lunch break - after all, the mall is air-conditioned and much more comfortable than the outdoors.
Street workmen. While waiting for some friends to finish their shopping, I saw this scene. I wanted to see how it would look in bw, so here ya go.
The workmen arrived cut lines in the tarmac, dug up the road and shut off our cul-de-sac for cars for 10 days

3600 Jacob Street c.1891
This building was occupied in the 1890s by August Helmbrecht, merchant tailor. In 1898, the third story was the Ancient Order of United Workmen (AOUW) Hall. The three-story building sits on a generally rectangular plan except that the northwestern corner is clipped. It has a flat roof with parapet wall. The building sits on a sandstone block foundation, and the walls are red brick laid in running bond. A wooden storefront in the façade faces Jacob Street and returns around the angled corner and continues for one bay along the north elevation that faces 36th Street.
Engaged cast iron columns divide the storefront lights. The transom level and some of the lights are covered with
wood panels that formerly held signage. Access to the building is via a wooden one-light entrance door with intact
transom. Two brick pilasters flank the entrance to the upper stories, which has been covered by painted wood panels.
The storefront is topped by a cornice with egg and dart molding and a sandstone belt course. Additional sandstone
belt courses unify the upper story windows, with some of the courses acting as window sills. The window openings
feature flat arch rowlock lintels with decorative sandstone hoods. The second story window openings are partially
bricked in and have non-original concrete sills under awning windows. Window openings at the third story are
slightly arched with sandstone hoods.
