That's interesting. Seems it burned down in 1970 and 1979 and became a park, but it's obviously still being used as a western movie set. I saw Spahn Ranch also burned down and is also a park, but Corriganville was used in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

What stuff did you work on there?

Miners 850 feet deep in the Hubert Mine – Nevadaville, Colorado 1895. He likely never complained much about his commute to and from work.

That's remarkable!

Yep, I am a certified skeptic of most everything and I opened the image in Photoshop. I drew a box around the first vehicle, copied it too the paste board, then placed the copy on top of the rear vehicle, Changed opacity to 50% so it was translucent, and it is the same size.

I had to verify this one in Photoshop as well. Zoom in and use the info tool. There is no yellow where your eyes see it.

Goes to show how much evolutionary pre-processing is needed to interpret the raw images we get from our eyes. Quite astounding! I wonder what the world would look like without our built-in interpretation structure.

I went a slightly more direct route on the minivan photo. If you really focus on a tiny bit, like the front wheel or headlight, then those look the same, but if you take in the whole picture, they look like they are radically different sizes.

on the colors, if you really focus on the "yellow" spot, you (I) can see that it's just white & black stripes. But when I look at the whole picture, it definitely looks like a yellow circle.

Claiborne County, Tennessee, 1940's...
A scene from inside a "country" grocery store near Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. An elderly man and woman, who appear to be the proprietors, stand behind the counter. A man and woman, perhaps customers or "loafers", are on the other side of the counter. Various products for sale can be seen in the store.

Chinese worker at the Selby Lead and Silver Smelting Works ca. 1880. This facility was located at California's Bay Area just south of Vallejo. An 1886 edition of the San Francisco Examiner stated "At the Selby Smelting Works at Vallejo Junction 160 men are employed, and wages average about $2 a day. The force is divided into gangs of 80 each, and one works in the daytime and the other at night."

A broken pump shaft fracture surface from a couple weeks ago. Textbook perfect!

LOL!

That's really cool (since I wasn't impacted by the break). I remember breaks like that getting posted here in the past for review and conversation. I think it may have been Lubey that posted some while he was writing one of his books.

I just got a set like this that covers 2" - 6" ($25) except that I need to get the little wrenches for it. Fortunately, they seem to be available from Starrett. I think I can call Starrett and order them direct.

Ran all over those mountains, then hiked them even more. Would do it at lunch when I was working for the Water District as an engineer. The things we saw, beautiful and historical things were (and to a lessor extent are) fascinating.

The number of movie ranches up there as well as the number of corporate parks, like the Douglas Ranch, etc. tells the history of Hollywood's and Aerospace's golden era.

Simi Valley and the SF Valley down to Malibu, great places. Much of it now gone.
