Random Object Photographs

[THE PILGRIM]

I know this isn't a 'I wish I could reshoot thread.'
But I wish I could reshoot this water wheel powered woodworking shop down in Costa Rica.
All the large tools- saws, drills, planers and such are water driven.
The overshot wheel is unseen on the left side jammed between the building and a hill.

I'm gonna have to get back to you.

Most of my stuff is in rather deep storage after the fire. I'm a master of random object photographs.

How about a nice porous chunk of slag?

ohh i have plenty of gator pix, i considered myself a 6 year tourist of SC lol. That was one from the ponds at the Magnolia Plantation, another great spot to see them is the Savannah Wildlife refuge (the drive you can take thru it) on the SC/GA border.

Noticed multiple time turtles hanging by the gators, never really figured out why they relaxed in the sun with each other

Was that Magnolia Plantation, in Schriever, Louisiana?

None of mine are as artistic as many here, but they are a few snaps of a job I was on a couple years ago:

The gang form flying into place was our work. I do concrete forming for sewage treatment plants, water reservoirs, etc.

The light plant being A-- over tea-kettle was the result of the general contractor's flunkies trying to save time by moving it up the hill without having to lower the mast, turns out ir was a little top-heavy.

The packer on its side was a result of the 19 yr old operator smoking too much weed instead of eating breakfast. One of the same suspects involved in the previous light plant incident.

*I'd like to add that neither incidents involved my people other than our documentation of said events.

You can meet some interesting people in Walmart's parking lot.

Stalactites in Howe Caverns in Schoharie County, NY.

They say that it takes about 100 years for a stalactite to grow one inch.
Imagine the countless years for these to form....


Sorry about the poor lighting, but it was 156' underground.

Another bit of NY beauty:

Chittenango Falls in Chittenango, NY.


Edit:
It's hard to scale the height in the photos, but online info says that Chittenango Falls is approx. 2 feet higher than Niagara.

Hillbilly, my dad took me to Mammoth Cave. Absolutely awesome.

We were meandering through while the guide droned on when dad leaned down next to my ear and in a soft voice with a hint of growl said: "damnit boy, put down that rock."
