..''British Made''.. for,. 'World photography day' 2025

You really had an original idea, David. And a piece like that is almost museum-worthy...

Thanks Christa'.... I noticed that 'anything goes' for W.P.D not always regular landscapes,.
and absolutely everything else I own has > 'Made in China' printed on it ! (˚◡˚)
Keep well - and 'Good Wishes' to you - from > Dj'

Excellent capture!

Cheers'.. William,..it makes a bit of a change from regular Landscapes' ,. keep well and go steady - from Dj.

Nice to see some British branding David. The mower seems to be well oiled and kept in lovely condition. Do you still use it?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I wish you a good week ahead.

Cheers Keith,. I hardly ever use it,. and dug it out only for the photo'.. an Uncle gave it me years ago,. and a swift spray of WD40 gave it the sheen,. I have used it in the past,. it's hard work ! / Now you too have a good new week ahead and Keep well - // from > Dj.

I try and avoid hard work nowadays David. Our lawnmower is electric and my wife loves using it.........she says she finds it therapeutic. I'm not going to argue :-))

That's good that she enjoys using it Keith,. a real bonus,. therapeutic garden work for 'my' wife is hosing the borders,. a bit cushy really !... but a big help too - Keep well youth,. go steady and Good Wishes to you - from Dj.

Nice shot.

Thanks Frode,... keep well and Good Wishes too - from Dj.

It looks to be well maintained is this beautiful capture David,
A neighbor of mine still uses a hand mower for his small front grass area

Thanks Roger,.. I brushed off the cobwebs and applied some WD40 for the sheen..I found it very hard going during the very rare times I've used it .. Cheers from > Dj.

It looks in good condition David.
Have a great week.
TOZ

A blast of WD40 gave it a sheen Gordon.. otherwise it is 100% dusty - but yes,. it is still solid and usable,. you too ! have a fine week ahead - and keep well - Cheers from Dj.

It's amazingly well preserved, David, and a nice contribution to the WPD!

Thanks you,.. * ઇଓ *... Keep well - and 'Good Wishes' to you - from Dj.

very nice image

Happy new week:)

Thank you,... Annemarie,.. a ''Good new week'' to you too - Keep well - and Cheers',. from Dj.

Those mowered beautifully... much better than motor ones, and loved the Tchic-tchic...

Thanks for your post Isabel.. yes there is a certain nostalgia and distinctive noise clatter with these things,,. it will outlive me too - Keep well - and Cheers'.. from D'J'

Great that you got a photo on that day too. Yes, a unique and rare branding nowadays, unfortunately. I had thought this to be an old weighing machine at first glance. You lost the tyres :)

Enjoy. Herb

Thanks Herb,. I wanted to emphasise the 'Logo' close up and as a result the mower is not so evident.. yes a rare branding indeed these days.. I think everything else we own is 'Made in China' / Cheers'.. Herb.. keep well - go steady and Good Wishes from Dj.

Well done, David, on both the photo and keeping this artefact when many have been discarded in favour of motorised mowers (or concrete). You've shined it up well. A grand picture for World Photography Day.

Thanks O'O',.. for your kind comment,.. a quick blast on the wheel of WD40 did the sheen - the rest is still rather dusty ,.. Cheer from Dj.

I love that the 'British made' is on something so solid. Seems very fitting, something long lasting and still working. I assume it's yours and you still use it?

I have a push mower, probably not U. S. made, though I haven't checked. I do, however, still use it on my funny front yard that is bumpy and full of all sorts of weeds, not just grass.

Did you use manual mode on your camera to take this? I like that the grass is slightly out of focus, making the wheel stand out even more.

Thanks for your comment Laura'.. I very rarely use the mower,. it was handed to me from an uncle who moved to an O.A,P bungalow where the lawns were council maintained.. yes I used 'manual' and the wide aperture to get the blur into the grass.. / Ha' yes weeds, everyone's nightmare.. they take over,..I am working to reduce them now actually,// Keep well and 'Good Wishes' to you from D'J'

*smile*

British Made to last, at least, things used to be !

Nice emphasis in the focus

Thank you S'R'.. yes a very old model,. built like a tank.. handed to me from an Uncle who used it for many years,. Cheers from > D'J'

Buena toma.

Buena toma, con texturas y detalles. Bien hecho.

J'ai le même âge que cette tondeuse.Hélas, j'ai moins bien résisté au temps qu'elle (But i am not made in Great Britain...)

Does it still work? ;-)
