There's no Photoshop trickery here! The effect comes from the workmen being behind a green, gauze-like sheeting hung over chain link fencing. Bright sunlight illuminated them so they kind of dissolved into the shadows. Couldn't quite believe my eyes!

I was crossing over Marine Parade when I saw these 3 hi-viz workmen sitting in the bus shelter and thought what a lovely Brighton frame it made. There were another two workmen on the seats behind and a further one on the side. I noticed them from the central reservation and took a couple of shots before I crossed over to them. I think I took them by surprise when I asked to take their photo and having taken it asked their names.

Excerpt from oakvillehistory.org:
The Workmen’s Cottages at 18-26 Thomas Street: While these homes were built in about 1852 as workmen’s homes for his shipyard workers, Duncan Chisholm did not himself live in them. Duncan was a son of George Chisholm, William Chisholm’s brother. Born at Burlington Bay in 1824, he came to Oakville in the year 1848 and opened an iron and tin business.
He first lived at Colborne and Dunn Street, sharing half a frame building with Mrs. Mary Wilson, who operated a bakery in her half to the east. In about the year 1853 Duncan Chisholm built a new brick residence and shop at the southwest corner of Dun and Colborne, and lived there until his retirement.
It was in the late 1850s that Duncan Chisholm established a shipyard on the Sixteen at William Street. He built there the “Victoria”, the “Monarch and the last boat to come from his yard in 1867, the “White Oak”. Launched on July 1, 1867, it was expected that she would be named the “New Dominion”, but niece Kate christened her the “White Oak”.
Duncan Chisholm was also ship owner and a master mariner, serving as captain on the “Oddfellow”, the “Royal Oak”, and “Three Bells”, among others. He was the instigator of Captain Maurice Felan’s epic Christmas voyage of the “Victoria” – they shared her ownership – to Oswego and back.
Workmen inspect the running gear of Nickel Plate Berkshire 765 on a cool October evening. I was very impressed with this event put on by the folks at the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society and Chris Lantz Photography. We had our share of interesting/unfortunate moments when two lights fell down and a group of us had to push the truck at one point, but overall, it was a great evening!
The workmen think Hector (now somewhat reduced, and known as Half a Hector) is awesome and move him (and bits of him!) around the build.
The electrician has placed him here in a supervisory function for the upper corridor.
Some workmen in Dubrovnik cathedral with some light interventions.
Thanks very much to all who visit and especial thanks for reaching 1 million views on my stream.
Three friendly fellows taking a break on a sidewalk in Kalimpong, a former town of the Sikkimese kingdom.
The photo was taken with my Nikon FE2 on Fujichrome slide film with a 50 mm lens in 1984. This was my first visit to India - 40 years ago.
I photographed the slide bracketing it with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz.
These men were working very diligently on a roof near where I was staying. Thankfully it was only one storey up but there was not a hard hat to be seen. Fortunately all seemed to go well. I was first attracted to take the shot because of the colours of the Jacaranda trees against the roof and the workmen' s overalls.
Took a lovely walk this morning and although it wasn't as sunny as it had been yesterday I did find parts of town around us that I hadn't seen before. I shall be going on another trip to see what else there is around there.
I saw this in the driveway of a house that is being renovated and thought why not for my photo for today. It was as rusty as anything and made a good un-identical twin to the really rusty lorry the workmen had.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

Wang Yimo (Chine)
rencontres photographiques d'Arles 2022
abbaye de Montmajour, route de Fontvieille
Arles (Provence)
"L'exposition de Wang Yimo se compose d'une vidéo, d'animation expérimentale et d'installations lumineuses, avec en toile de fond une centrale électrique désaffectée. Pendant longtemps, la centrale a reflété non seulement la réussite de l'industrialisation de la Chine, mais aussi les luttes d’une génération entière, dans la poursuite du rêve socialiste. L'artiste a invité des ouvriers à revenir sur leur lieu de travail, dans une séquence saturée de souvenirs. Aux prises de vues sont mêlées des images de synthèse, l’animation dessinant un autre monde pour les travailleurs. Enfin, la vidéo donne à voir une conversation entre l'artiste et sa mère, elle-même ancienne ouvrière. L'œuvre, telle une élégie flottant sur les ruines, hante ce théâtre vide imprégné de la mémoire collective."

The Zollern Colliery
A castle of labour
At first sight palatial redbrick facades and artistically adorned gables on buildings dotted around a grassy square are more reminiscent of an aristocratic residence than a coal mine. This was exactly one of the ideas behind the architecture.
Today the “mansion of labour” in the west of Dortmund is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive testimonies to Germany’s industrial history. The engine house with its famous Jugendstil (art nouveau) doorway is already an icon. But the museum’s outstanding industrial architecture is only one of many different attractive facets. The various sections of the exhibition will take you into a world of harsh working conditions, and the stories of the men and women who worked in coalmining during the 20th century will bring this vividly to life.
Sous un soleil de plomb, ces travailleurs mexicains se hâtent de terminer la récolte des fraises célèbres, de l'Ile d'Orléans!
En une seule journée, leur salaire équivaut à un mois de travail chez eux!
Ce sont des travailleurs saisonniers protégés par les lois canadiennes du travail!
Logés, nourris et bénéficiant de l'assurance maladie, ils retourneront dans leur pays au début de l'automne, après la récolte des framboises, des bleuets, des merises (cassis), du maïs et des pommes!
Make of it what you will but it is in fact ‘Craig’ dismantling a tent after the ‘Manchester Jazz Festival’, shot through the surrounding perimeter fence. Like it or hate it, I don't mind, it's just a bit of fun.....!
Took a walk up to the old Pink Floyd villa on the outskirts of Pefkos, once owned by musician David Gilmour. It's been standing uninhabited and unloved for some years but has been sold and is now undergoing renovation.
As you can see, workmen were taking away the lovely old iron gates and railings and replacing with stone walls - presumably for more privacy and security.
The main villa building has been gutted
