The six-story building was completed in 1892[and it was demolished in 2017 to be replaced by new development. Demolition was underway in August 2017, and it was complete by November of the sam 136
Once upon a time, the Dutch Biesbosch was an area of swamp fields with reeds and willows narrated to the tidal currents of ebb and flood. On the vagaries of storm and flooding. Early last century, the area is being deployed for agriculture. How this has happened is a too long story to tell. But it's not nice. The times were different, but even before that time it was asocratic and mean for the workmen. This is not denied by the council. Unsuitable and unskilled unemployed people must, in the event of a penalty, withdraw their benefits, only armed with a shovel, cultivate the land there. Many were not able to do this extremely hard work. They produced a lot of farmland for the city Dordrecht. Because of his political function, Mr. Theodoor Stoop is partly responsible for the project caused by the crisis of the 30's. He, a quiet and in general a comfortable practitioner and surgeon, has done a lot of good work for the citizens in Dordrecht. Mr. Th. Stoop got a monument in the Biesbosch. The Stoop-bank (-couch) it is called. A resting place with benches, walled with bricks, on a terp. This is the place (in the picture, now the Noorderelsweg) where the Stoopbank still is. The Stoopbank was delivered in 1930.
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.
Day two in Venice was cloudy. We started off with an early wander around then ferry hopped to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.

I noticed a group of workmen working on an embankment with the bright sky and shadow I thought it would make a nice silhouette
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.

One of those times when the camera lens is going to get wet... So much spray got blown in my direction. Another image includes a man with his dog to the right, and they look very windblown. That image is of even worse quality!
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.

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

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 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.
BFC, 600 E.-2 Zhongshan Rd, Shanghai
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.
I just love all that this simple observation implies about the workmen that thought that was OK.

"As Labour goes into deep-dive (or pretends to) on what kind of apparatus was Mandelson and/or McSweeney involved in, inside the Labour Party, it would be interesting to know if they ever come up with how it was decided to throw people out of the party where alleged 'antisemitism' was based on tweets or even 'likes' going back at least several years.
It would also be interesting to know how 'antisemitism' was being defined in these cases, why being Jewish was no bar to being determined as being 'antisemitic', who provided the information on those being expelled (and why), what systems of appeal were or were not in place and...what was achieved from all this.
That said, I suspect absolutely none of this will come to light."
