Brunch with Battutah
Lo tek
Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 6 June 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
The peg is used to keep the door of a hunters' lookout closed. You just twist it. Very ingenious.
For a view of what a hunters' lookout is, please go to the photo from the 10 January, 2008 in my portfolio.
@isabel: Thank you, Isabel. Actually not b/w but the original color.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Interesting picture Michael. The texture of the wood is so old and I imagine there are lots of stories to be told around this gate.

@Marion: The hunters sit up in these and sip their beverage, swop stories and wait for small animals to venture by. Thanks so much, Marion.
@mosleh: Thank you, Mosleh.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I see you either climbed the steps for this shot, Michael, or you used a telephoto lens - no exif data, so I can't tell. At least the ladder wasn't so slippery this time!

@Judy: I climbed the steps. The ice had gone. Thank you for commenting, Judy.
@Koushiro~光子郎: Yes, it is. thank you, Koushiro.
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
c'est intéressant de voir comment chaque morceau de ce bois, certainement assez vieux, a un dessin vraiment différent.

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci, Evelyne.

Low tech but it still works! Can't write anything like that about the tools I'm using at my workplace... Very nice shot!

@MadScientist: Yes, lo tek is often very workable. Thank you, MS.
