Parapat

nobody@ipernity.com (Scott Holcomb) — Sat, 16 May 2026 20:46:11 +0000

In north-central Sumatra on the shores of Lake Toba is the town of Parapat where there was a transit center with a fascinating assortment of animal-drawn vehicles, bicycles and even an occasional car. I stopped here a lifetime ago to take a ferry to the island of Samosir frequented by international overland travelers.

Slag processing plant at Scunthorpe steelworks with the Four Queens blast furnaces in the background.

Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) is a Swedish mining company. The company mines iron ore at Kiruna and at Malmberget in northern Sweden. The company was established in 1890, and has been 100% state-owned since the 1950s. In 1918 the company purchased the Francis Flower business in the UK which included the GBSS processing plant at Scunthorpe steelworks.

Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) is produced by quenching molten iron slag from a blast furnace in water or steam, to produce a glassy, granular product that is then dried and ground into a fine powder. It replaces up to 70% of the Portland Cement in concrete, and can significantly reduce CO2-emissions. Francis Flower produced GGBS in Scunthorpe on the grounds of British Steel upgrading their blast furnace slag. LKAB is also a significant supplier of highly upgraded iron ore products to British Steel, the first deliveries were made in the 1930’s. Francis Flower was the second largest supplier of GGBS in the UK.

Tobacco warehouse

tarboat has posted:

The Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse is a grade II listed building and is the world's largest brick warehouse, with a net floor area of 1.6 million square feet. It stands 125 feet high, and at the time of its construction in 1900-01, claimed to be the world's largest building in terms of area. The 14 storey building spans across 36 acres and its construction used 27 million bricks, 30,000 panes of glass and 8,000 tons of steel. The overall design was by A. G. Lyster, the Dock Engineer, but Arthur Berrington almost certainly played a part. The warehouse was a late addition to the Stanley Dock complex and was built on land reclaimed from the dock. It has now been converted to apartments with retail and commercial uses on the ground floor.

A study of a QJ after preparation for work at the junction depot at Suihua in Heilongjiang, China. This was a very busy location with locomotives being changed on most of the trains passing here.

North to South and In Between

I've been pre-occupied recently with preparing my input to a display of paintings and photos called "North to South and In-Between". Two friends who have travelled extensively in the north polar area entered cyanotypes, photos and paintings. I provided some "In-between" photos from Australia and my talented daughter entered four Australian paintings. The "south" section (in the foreground here) was from my old Antarctic slides and a more recent digital image. The display opened yesterday and will run through May. Best viewed large. Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone.
