That's an old traditional way of making Elk-Berry wine ... you have to put the bottles on the antlers before the elk berries bloom, so the ... oh wait ... I think that's pear wine and you're not supposed to eat the elk berries ... my bad. 

I was under the impression that Elk Berries came from the other end...

Hi all,
How about some homemade "cheese blocks" for your logging load?

This view of the Mt. Adams Incline in 1908 almost looks like a George Selios model...

Ray, that is a wonderful photo. I bookmarked it a while back and have been over and over it .. for some reason it continues to fascinate me. The center of the photo (more or less) has what someone commented as looking like a 'bunker'. In the comments section someone has found in Google Street view what apparently is the same structure. If you follow that level to the left we have more 'action' .. nice view of the buildings perched on the hillside, wooden walkway with railings. Great stuff. Directly below the stone retaining wall there is just the top of a culvert sticking out of the road. Amazing ..

I echo Ed's comments.   There are so many modeling details in this photo.   It's the structures that hold my interest and not the tram.
Clapboards falling off, or having been put on in a wave fashion.   Various brickwork and roof structures.
It makes me want to model this entire hillside.

While not going to model the entire hillside .. I'm wanting to model something with at least a feel of part of it

... is that a "four on the floor" (manual) transmission ... seems a little unsual to me, when it has it's origin during the period when steering column mounted shifters (three on the tree) were more common ...  

And what car is the radiator grill from ... 

Kind regards,

I had the same thoughts when I saw this photo yesterday. Amazing amount of stuff to look at here. Love this roof, think the door is part of it or just has been discarded there?
