First snow

Still snowing lightly as I write; the pic is from up the hill overlooking the uptown area.

  1. Snow? Is that what people call that white stuff?
    REALLY nice photo Mike. Enlarged, it is even better!

  2. Pat is right; it's great enlarged, the black and white elevator center. When I was a kid we had elevators of all sorts around Akron, and I rode my bike and took my sketchbook to record them. We had grain elevators and loading elevators. If I still had my old sketchbook, I'd add this to my collection. But, I don't recognize what this is for. Is it a pump?

  3. Great photo. Is the elevator part of a mine operation? I too suggest looking at the photo in an enlarged format.

    Thanks Pat
    Joanne and Tom:, it's called a headframe, it's for mines, lowers miners down, brings ore up, hopefully brings up miners at end of shift. It's an elevator or sorts.
    WWW:Yes, absolutely....best thing we could have now for the fires. It's more than welcome.
    Tabor: thanks

  6. That's beautiful and peaceful. Your area has been through the wringer of late. I surely hope this tames the fires.

    1. It did, and the 3-6 inches we're getting in the next 24 hrs will finish them off.
