Workman: Steel Plates (Metalsmith)ٌ

I don't know the name of this job. This man makes functional things with steel plates such as car exhaust pipes, cans and etc. Today we call these kind of uncommon and rare jobs: "Forgotten Jobs". Forgotten Jobs are jobs disappearing due to the industrial growth and factory products; no more hand-made things.

Public Transit

I took this photo when I was in Tehran a few weeks ago. This cartoon was on the side wall of a bus stop. Everything is enough clear in this beautiful work; how a bus can eliminate personal cars to reduce congestion.

Greengage

"The Greengage (Prunus domestica or the 'Reine Claude') is an edible drupaceous fruit, a cultivar of the plum. It was developed in France from a green-fruited wild plum (Ganerik) originally found in Asia Minor. It is identified by its small, oval shape, smooth-textured flesh, and ranging in colour from green to yellow, grown in temperate areas. They are known for their rich, confectionery flavour that causes them to be considered one of the finest dessert plums." Reference: Wikipeida.org
