Thanks, Karin, for a week to Reflect and to all who participated in the Weekend challenge. Since it's Labor Day Weekend and September Kick offffff (wonder how many are checking out Sunday Night Football!!) thought it might be different to show folks at work, workplaces, tools used for work. If legal, show us where you work or post pictorial hints and let us guess. If you wish Fall sports, which are a different kind of work, are also welcome. Ready or not it's September and many "work" schedules resume or change. These folks won't be doing this work much longer this season.

We do a lot of this here on Bald Mountain!
After 32 years as a high school math teacher my friend retired and bought a lobster boat. After many years at that trade he has since retired from that.

Having cut some trees, I can vouch for the amount of work depicted in this shot. He is either extremely strong or someone off camera helped get those in the bucket. We had a tree about that size come down in a storm and I cut it up. Two of us could not get one of the pieces about that size more than a couple of inches off the ground. Twas a bit easier when it seasoned.
Also I notice the chains on the tractor. I'm guessing that Bald Mountain might get a bit of snow.
The two construction/utility worker photos were taken from a car - one at a long stoplight, and the other from the car in a parking lot.
The last - well, sometimes play is hard work too.
Taken with my Nikon P610 bridge camera.

Good labor day challenge, Pat, and some very nice images to appropriately kick it off. Especially like number 3 as it looks almost like my Brother when he worked undercover in the sheriff’s department. I haven’t been “at work” for almost nine years now, and I often wonder where I had the time to do that back then. So in that vein I went way back for some scanned photos of folks at work.
