If you want to know what it looked like in Apetlon in my childhood, just go to Hungary. It's almost the same.





Our houses were like these. We had power supply lines hanging over the streets.

While I was waiting:




There's a very small park.












Outside the church:
In memory of WW I (and II) - in German!




A school there




And the city hall

Nice photos, Johanna. I especially like the war memorial and the antique hose wagon.

Thank you!
I always was fascinated by this hose wagon and wanted to take a picture since I saw it for the first time months ago. Today there was time enough.

I visited my friend Cathie, also a hummingbird bander, at her home in rural southern Illinois. We spend a couple of hours this morning catching hummingbirds in her yard. I think we got around 50 birds, mostly recaptures of ones she had banded there in previous years. Here we are each measuring birds just trapped.

BTW, it's important to remain inconspicuous and blend into the surroundings...hence my camouflage shirt.

Perfect! The shirt made it almost impossible to detect you.

A hobby for the patient and a delicate hand.
Never met a Hawaiian shirt I didn't like.

Lol! Love the shirt!

Nice job tp. I hope that the top step is not the only member passing the load to rear support. The stringer has to pass the load to the supports.

Thanks.

There is an ⅛ to ¼ inch gap between the top step and rear posts. I did this so I could swing the rear posts just a bit to get a nice level seat from back to front on each riser. I put one screw in, set them in place to level, then put three more screws into the leg from the stringer (Home Depot calls them risers). The posts are also screwed into the back board which is screwed into the stringer, for even more support. This gives it a good bond on two of the four sides of the posts. I used 2 ½ inch screws to get nice deep penetration into the posts.

So, the stringers are holding almost all the load, directly or indirectly.

I did sink a screw into the step above the post, to add more stability against wobble.

In my head this still didn't seem sturdy enough, and I was going to use scraps to add more bracing around the posts. But when I got it built it was unshakably solid. Still, I'll keep an eye on it, and if things seem to loosen up I'll be shoring it up.

In that case tp you have it made in the shade as they say at Home Depot. You won't need any further bracing unless these are steps to an Ark and some hippos and rhinos are going to use them. "Step" - self explanatory, "Riser" - the upright at the back of the step, "Stringer" - the notchity thingy that sits at an angle for the steps to go on. Praps the plumber was in the wrong department. Lol

It looks like you used the new pressure treated that looks like cedar. Nice looking wood!

That must be delicate work measuring those hummingbirds!

Not as delicate as crimping the tiny numbered bands around their legs.

Gosh....aren't they so tiny!

I'd be very nervous doing that, lest I hurt one of them!

Nice work you're doing there! Kudos!

May I share some photos of our visit to the Adelaide Central Market next to Chinatown yesterday? Time to stock up on fresh vegies, seafood and of course our regular hit of Asian food for lunch in the International Food Pavilion. Hope not too many photos here

The Adelaide China Town precinct is next to the huge Central Market.

It,s a very old market (1920s) and looks it, but is one of the largest and most enjoyable, atmospheric produce markets in Australia.

With lovely local produce - and of course imported.

This is one of a number of excellent cheese stalls.

But this one's my favourite 'cos I like a nice piece of stinky cheese Got some lovely Danish Esrom (to my wife's disgust, who says it smells like three weeks unwashed feet) She bought some Italian parmesan-nice too on spaghetti.

We moved over to the large seafood area.

Passing stalls of chicken and game.

Lovely fresh seafood. We bought some "Coorong mullet", one of our favourite.

And of course, you can't bypass a kilo of beautiful South Australian prawns.

Then time for lunch and off to the Chinatown food courts.

But on the way just had to get a nice bag of roasted nuts to nibble while surfing the forum on my iPad

Our favourite food hall. Noisy, bustling, with the best and cheapest seafood dishes to equal most restaurants in Adelaide IMHO

Never seen that before. Some catering had been done and laid out to be picked up.

This is the Japanese section, where we ate last time. But this time we felt like some Chinese seafood dishes.

We had tried the Korean before, but prefer the Chinese stall on the right. We reckon we have bought from them so often now that we have probably paid for their refrigeration system. But great food, clean and hygenic with always smiling service.

So we had this great seafood and bok choy dish, nice and hot on a winters day.

A look back to China town carrying the groceries back to the car.

Wow, you are making me hungry, OB
Those are superb pictures and depict my favourite type of place. To my eyes the photos are very much pin sharp, which is darned good for hand held indoor shots.

Methinks you could be posting some images under the food and travel threads (suggest an Adelaide Attractions thread?). It's just food for thought.
