Honestly this is one of my favorite pics I’ve done
Most know of Pakistan as a third world fanatical Muslim country full of terrorists. I have lived in Pakistan, my parents were born and raised there and though it has its many faults it also has its many beauties, its many treasures and many things that I love and cherish. At Work is a picture of my maid, Sakina in her small and modest home where I captured her hands as she used two rocks to grind herbs and spices to make that nights meal. This is a method still used in homes where a mechanical grinder is a luxury and not a necessity. According to Sakina and her mother, herbs ground on a rock maintain the rich flavors that are often lost by all our machines.
Dedicated to my Year 11 tutor group who are just about to embark on their final exams. Good Luck – I know you can do it!!!
In order to use the corn or grains for baking they had to be ground into flour. This could be done by mortar and pestle but is very time consuming using this method. Man as far back as the 1st B.C. has used hydropower to help speed up this process. The use of this power came to be known as gristmills. / A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface. Most commonly, the wheel is mounted vertically. Water turns the wheel then gears and ultimately the grinding stones. They are many verities of this method. / The wheel here at the John Cable Mill in Cades Cove is known as an overshot type. This gets its name from water running over the top of the wheel. This mill wasn’t the 1st in Cades Cove but by 1870 the population was large enough to support another.

The John P. Cable Mill Flume – Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA. The mill flume was a device used by Cades Cove’s pioneers to divert water from a stream to power a mill. The water turned a large waterwheel by falling on the large paddles. The power generated by the water and wheel were very important to residents living in the cove. The grist mill was capable of grinding corn into meal, wheat into flour and more. The waterwheel was also used to power saw mills. This meant construction of buildings could take place with out the use of an entire logs, making the lumber much easier to manage. > Other works in the Cade’s Cove Collection: Companion Piece http://images-1.redbubble.com/img/art/border:blackwithdetail/product:laminated-print/size:small/view:preview/1223691-1-the-tipton-place.jpg!:http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/4160293
Elephant humour Asian elephant (Baby) Amazingly, Asian elephants are more closely related to the extinct woolly mammoth than to the African elephant. The elephant’s tusks are elongated teeth (upper incisors) and tend to be smaller in Asian bull elephants than in the African. The four grinding teeth (molars) wear out and are replaced by new teeth from the back of the jaws; the elephant gets through six sets of teeth during its lifetime. Where they live India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia and Southern China / Habitat Mountains and forest What they eat Vegetation, fruit, twigs, small branches, bark and roots IUCN status Endangered !

My entry into the consumption challenge. This one’s from the heart, or should I say, the wallet?
This beautiful and much loved puppy was having morning tea at Urban Grind coffee shop with his ‘mum’ Alois, so I asked if I could take some photos. both his ‘parents’ and I are thrilled with the results. They have also given me permission to upload these photos, provided I share my ‘millions’ in profits with them. I think that is fair! I hope they enjoy these photos as much as I do. Thank you Alois and Noel! / I edited the background in photoshop to enhance the portrait. I used the smudge tool, reduced to 1 pixel and with the photo enlarged up to 200% to flick the hairs out on the sides of his ears, face and neck so that it didn’t have the sharp cut off edge that is usual with a background removal. taken with my canon 40DSLR macro lens on a manual settingff edge that is usual with a background removal. taken with my canon 40DSLR macro lens on a manual setting / fstop 5.6 / exposure 1/200 sec / focal length 100mm / Automatic white balance
