#ThrowbackThursday "Founded on timber getting and dairying, Uki (pronounced yook-eye) is a beautiful and peaceful village located virtually at the foot of Mt Warning." Big Volcano Places - Uki: https://www.bigvolcano.com.au/places/uki.htm #visitbigvolcano #murwillumbah #burringbar #mooball #uki #crabbescreek #stokerssiding #tweedhinterland #northernrivers #bigscrub #rainforest #historicphoto #historicphotography #historyinpictures #timberjack #timberfeller #toonaaustralis #nativetimber #rainforesttrees Posted @withregram • @woodlandvalleyfarm ℂ𝕖𝕕𝕒𝕣 𝔾𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤.... Between 1844 and the early 1900's, European settlers all but wiped out the vast Red Cedar forests of the Tweed Valley. These majestic tress grew up to 60 metres in height and 7 meters across the trunk. Specimens this size are now relegated to the unreachable parts of the caldera. Perched on the highest point on our farm are the remains of one of those Big Red. The steps carved in its trunk where the Cedar Getters made their platforms to fell these mighty giants are still visible. Today we decided that the decomposing stump would now nourish the life of a new Cedar that will grow in its place. Others have also been planted in the under story of the trees across the same hill. We wont be around to witness the grandeur of the mature trees, but generations to come will. "𝑻𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒏𝒆'𝒔 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅."

Abortion rights demonstration (1986) Candlelight vigil for abortion rights was held on Wilshire Boulevard in front of the Feminist Women's Health Center. Photograph dated January 22, 1986. Photo by Leo Jarzomb from the @lapubliclibrary @laplphotos archive. NO WORDS Am beyond angry, saddened, and scared about this abomination. And note that caption, NINETEEN EIGHTY-SIX. We're STILL fucking fighting about this? Note also the fella in the back with the 'PRO CHOICE PRO FREEDOM' sign. So much for the land of the free, huh? So much for small government, too. To all the so-called 'right-to-life' folks in power - FUCK YOU. GO FUCK YRSELF. You demand that life is so fucking sacred, to the point of endangering or diminishing the lives of already living adults. And yet the moment someone's out of the womb, it's just - FUCK YOU. NO social safety nets. NO programs to help anyone better their lives. Hell, they don't even want to feed or house people! It's cruel and sadistic and you should be ashamed of yrselves. To Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito,Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell and anyone who helped put them into power - FUCK YOU. Maybe you never know another moment's peace the rest of yr days. May you lose all you hold dear. May all comfort and joy escape you, till all food turns to ash in yr mouth, till all drink is vinegar. May all the demons of all the hells follow you the rest of yr days. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OFFICE. We're sick and tired and fed the fuck up with our country run by yr fucked up cult. Jesus would be so ashamed of you. You're charlatans and hypocrites. You're going to get what you deserve and you have it coming. . #abortion #abortionrights #abortionrightsarehumanrights #feminism #feminist #feministhistory #roevwade #history #getupstandup #photohistory #historicphoto #LeoJarzomb #LosAngelesHeraldExaminer #photoarchive #calisphere #digitalarchive #1986 #January221986 #80shistory #80sphotography #losangeles #losangeleshistory #la #lahistory #digitalwitchycraft #witchesofinstagram #curses #jsimpson https://www.instagram.com/p/CfNSH8dpK0q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You have seen the George E. Failing drill rig inside the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, but have you seen this historic photo of one?
George E. Failing started his own oil business in 1918, and in 1922 he drilled his first well. After his accomplishments, he moved his business to Enid, Oklahoma and that building was completed by 1931.The Great Depression hit hard as it did many, so he came up with the idea to drill holes easily. That is when he mounted a rig onto his own truck creating a portable rig!

Wow! Park Ave before it was Park Ave. This ten-photo panorama series taken from Park Avenue and 94th Street in 1882 captures the clash between an expanding city grid and the rural landscape of the Upper East Side. The photographs were taken from the roof of a newly built mansion on Park between 93rd and 94th by photographer and brewer, Peter Baab. Between the 1830s and 60s, the boulevard known as Fourth Avenue, a railroad corridor between Grand Central and Harlem with noisy at grade train tracks until 1872 when the New York & Harlem Railroad sunk the tracks from 56th to 96th Streets below ground. When the construction was finally finished, Fourth Avenue was the perfect place to facilitate the northward growth of speculative real estate that was facilitated by the city's growing population and recently mapped grid system of 155 streets and twelve avenues. During construction of the tunnel, the avenue had been widened to 140 feet with a landscaped promenade in the middle and ventilation shafts for the tracks below. When the project was finished in 1876, the loss of pollution and noise caused by the railroad, combined with the opening of nearby Central Park and the quick commute to rapidly developing Midtown, Fourth Avenue became the prime spot for opulent townhouses and mansions. In 1886, four years after these photos were captured, Fourth Avenue was renamed Park Avenue, now one of Manhattan's most famous thoroughfares. The first view is looking south, down Park Avenue and the series rotates west, north, then east.

Restos (Los puentes rotos)
Los restos de un barco en la costa
un retrato hablado, equipaje perdido
un boleto de ida con un sello que dice:  
"IRREPARABLE".
Irreparable la nave.
Irreparable la historia.
No se puede zurcir sin que queden marcas
agujeros en la tela,  
                                                 la piel,
                                                                       la madera.
El abrigo,  
                                         mis manos,  
                                                                           el barco.
Ya ves que todo ha sufrido daños.
No protesto, cierro las maletas
abro el mapa, trazo otra ruta
no se si el viaje siga siendo viaje.
O de tanta tierra se me ha olvidado el mar.
Entre tanto investigo naufragios
le doy nombre a los restos, hago música con las ausencias.
