A heavily weathered and rusted vintage wood stove on a beach. It has shells on the top and there is foliage and little yellow flowers behind it. It is likely a model similar to those produced by Fisher Stoves in the past. 
Condition: The stove is severely oxidized with deep rust, indicating it has been exposed to the elements for a long period.

Design: Features a basic box shape with a front-loading door, characteristic of older, non-EPA certified airtight designs. 

Potential Use: Given its condition, it is best suited for decorative garden art or repurposed as an outdoor fire pit. 

Thank you Google Lens!

I saw this on a beach, I think on #SaltSpringIsland #BC #Canada🇨🇦
Didn't REALLY know what its purpose was/is until now (searched Google Lens) It looks like some kind of stove or heater... but is/was probably used as a beach fire pit.

#Kaput but functional still?

Almost is absolutely correct because it did go #kaput. 😄. Kudos goes to my ex boss for her cake baking skills.

A close-up, high-angle shot featuring a withered rose with pale yellow and deep pink petals resting on a draped, magenta-colored fabric. The dried flower head lies near the top center, its petals curled and papery, while several individual petals are scattered across the textured folds of the cloth in the foreground. The lighting is soft, creating gentle shadows within the fabric’s creases, and a shallow depth of field keeps the central flower in sharp focus while the background and foreground elements softly blur. The composition evokes a sense of fragility and the passage of time through the contrast between the delicate, decaying botanical elements and the rich, vibrant textile.

The rose was part of a beautiful performance bouquet for my granddaughter. Lovely cream #roses tipped in a vibrant rouge. Today’s #Kaput is something beautiful, even withered and dried. Beautiful with memories and its essence.

The photo is of ruined walls atop a rock surface, under a bright blue sky with thin, wispy clouds/ The walls were made of a combination of rock and pounded earth. They have lasted this long because this is in a desert.

Jiaohe, a once wealthy Silk Road city, now #kaput. It stood on a tall rock plateau, a seat of power for various rulers from 100 BC until the Mongols wrecked it in the 13th century. Still pretty stunning in its ruin.

Great shot Sabine 🤩👍🏼

Graham @oldmanrambling.bsky.social inspired me to quickly take a shot of my late great grandmother’s stately wall clock built around the turn of the century. Unfortunately it’s #Kaput.

The photo is of a stone wall with a door in the middle. It is all carved and is very old - about 10th century CE - and weathered, largely covered in moss and lichens. On each side of the door are apsaras set in niches. The door frame appears to be perilously close to falling apart. Inside, huge blocks of stone have obviously fallen inside the black interior.

#Kaput #stone Phnom Bok temple in the hills outside Siem Reap.

It seems this place has been cleared and maybe partially restored since I was there. The stairs up in recent pics are definitely not what I remember.

I've noticed my eye is interested in broken things. I am intrigued by the aesthetic of failure. Is something broken, #kaput?

Rightly or wrongly, I'd say too often, yes.

This stately wall clock is a classic example of a German Gründerzeit Freischwinger (free-swinger regulator), a style that flourished during the late 19th century. At approximately 125 years old, it shows the refined craftsmanship of the Wilhelminian era.

The tall, slender rectangular case is crafted from walnut-veneered wood with a rich warm-brown tone. Four elegantly turned, ebonized columns flank the sides, two at the front corners and two recessed behind, creating a striking dark contrast against the lighter walnut body. The base features small turned ebonized finials, echoing the decorative columns above. A wide, beveled glass front panel opens to reveal the inner mechanism in full view, a hallmark of the regulator style.

The dial is a white enamel face framed in a polished brass bezel, displaying Roman numerals in elegant black. Two ornate blued-steel hands point gracefully across the face, and two small symmetrical dots mark the winding arbors. A delicate maker’s emblem is visible at the dial’s crown.

The crossed arrow motif visible on the subsidiary regulation dial is the registered trademark of HAC — Hamburg Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik (Hamburg American Clock Company), adopted by the company in 1892. operated successfully until financial difficulties in the late 1920s led to a merger with Junghans in 1930.

Happy #Caturday!

Just because something is #kaput doesn't mean it can't be repurposed by Hubby. 😄😄

Last #alphabetchallenge of the week with #kaput as the theme. A ferocious winter storm blows through and combined with a high tide creates merry hell in St Ouens Bay. Railings ripped from the standings.

For me, in all ways, 2026 is just #kaput. As was 2025. I'm so tired of this #regime.

And, my poor o.l.d. body.

#Vertigo, even when not raging, is making me so unbalanced. Two bad trips in the past 3 weeks are too much.

Whelp.
I now claim the
self-imposed #kaput category.
Another trip on a sidewalk, yesterday morning, sent me to the ER for stitches and a CAT scan. I'm okay, I guess. But, my whole body is sore. 🫤

A silver haired man is sporting a gauze eye patch.
Nothing too serious. Doc snipped a pesky stitch from a previous surgery (February 2019) that was irritating his left eye. Life at Level 70+ is fraught with peril 🫤
