Wall of Sound
Picture beside the car parking area on the Seil Island side of the Clachan Bridge with a nicely 'decorated' old wall and a view of Clachan Sound, nr Oban. Scotland

The old piece of equipment in the picture is a potato spinner.

A lovely scene, Carol, and I'm fascinated by the old 'whatever' in the background. HWW.

Ecobird club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you very much George. It is an old potato spinner, probably called a potato harvester elsewhere. I have just posted a picture of it with a PiP of the notice explaining how it worked in case you might be interested.

A sound wall similar to a sound barrier? ;-) Although this photo looks so poetic that I'd assume it's rather a musical wall as far as sound goes ;-)) (OK, I know what you mean, Carol)! :-)

I'm not officially a member of the HWW group, so here's my unofficial HWW ;-)

Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Thank you very much Edna. The wall is attractive and 'cried out' to be photographed if that counts;-)))) I also have heard of wailing walls but not singing walls, but hey - I could sing and then it would sound like wailing anyway-)))))

Thank you for the unofficial HWW;-)

Joe, Son of the Rock club has replied to Annemarie club
This is a well composed image, Carol. I love the diagonal of the wall. The cut-down barrel of flowers provides the ideal foreground interest. I love the refection of the cottage. As for the potato spinner, well, it's the best potato spinner I have ever seen. All the best, Joe

Thank you very much for your really nice comments Joe. It is the only potato spinner I have ever seen I think!!

I have posted a closer image along with a PiP of the sign explaining it's use as I have had a few comments about it.

Ecobird club has replied to Jocelyne Villoing club
Thank you very much Jocelyne. That is a lovely thing to say.

The potato spinner is much like a potato harvester. I have just posted a closer picture of it and a PiP showing the plaque and explanation of what it is if you are interested. Maybe I should have added PiPs when I posted but it was late and I was rushing to get it done before bedtime!!

Enjoy the rest of your day

;-) Thank you Pam.

I guess you would probably call it a potato harvester. I have just posted a close up image with a PiP and note showing the attached plate with the explanation on it. Hope it helps

Ecobird club has replied to Günter Klaus club
Thank you very much Guni. Really appreciated. The potato spinner used to be beside the bridge but they have moved it and given it a little plate to describe what it is and how it works. I have posted another picture of it and a PiP of the plate in case you are interested.

Have a lovely evening, Best wishes Carol

A very beautiful scene from your holiday Carol. Unfortunately I have no sound on my computer at the moment. Waiting for my son-in-law to fix it, or I would have followed this link!

Thank you very much Rosa. I am pleased you like it. Sorry you are still having computer issues but good that you have your son in law to sort it for you. My patience is very limited when it comes to technology i am afraid.

Answer me this Carol. Why would potatoes want to spin, and how did they communicate this desire to humans to get this machine built?!

This is an exceptional good image even by your high standards! PoV; immaculate. Leading lines; immaculate. Light and shadows; immaculate. Colour; immaculate. Textural contrasts; immaculate.

Okay - shutting up now!!

Ecobird club has replied to MaggsMep club
I think it is all down to the Maris Piper Maggs, - he will play if they dance and spin;-)))))
To be fair why wouldn't they want a little fun first when the future is bleak for them, whether it is being chopped, chipped, fried or roasted or boiled and mashed, - so where is the harm? The best they can hope for is to end up as vodka!!!!! Happy oblivion!! Sadly not gin though!!

Thank you for your lovely generous comments,

As for the potato spinner we probably would call it a potato harvester but anyway I have posted a close up of it and a PiP of the little sign that explains it
