"Home is where one starts from. As we grow older the world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated of dead and living. Not the intense moment, isolated, with no before and after, but a lifetime burning in every moment. And not the lifetime of one man only, but of old stones that cannot be deciphered." ----- T. S. Eliot, 1888-1965 "Four Quartets, East Coker" (1940)

Great photo! Barrel making is a lost art, but still being practiced by artisans for winemakers and breweries. I enjoyed watching one making wooden barrels this past summer at the Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
