I recently returned to photograph Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs' home aboard the historic 1907 Yankee Ferry, afloat on the Hudson River. They've not only restored the Yankee and kept it afloat for posterity, but they also use the ship as a beautiful studio and show space for their work as decorative artists. I photographed the ship in its entirety, including the engine room and chicken coop.
About the ship:
The 1907 Yankee Ferry was affixed with guns and cannons and was first used by the U.S. Army to patrol the Boston Harbor during World War I. In the 1920s, the Yankee was used by Ellis Island to transport newly arrived immigrants from the island to Manhattan. Many of the immigrants were kept below decks on their transatlantic voyage and are said to have obtained their first views of New York City from the decks of the Yankee. The ship is the last surviving Ellis Island ferry.

St Peter, Spexhall, Suffolk
You can follow these journeys as they happen on twitter.
It was the end of March, and the first properly warm, sunny Saturday of the year. I caught the early train up from Ipswich to Halesworth, and cycled off into the hills. Incidentally, anyone looking for a cure for stress could do a lot worse than going for a bike ride around the lanes about Halesworth. Here, the deep green encroaching of the fields and copses in spring, the angelica and the birdsong, and the silent heat of the dusty road, are guaranteed to lower the blood pressure and raise the spirits. Better for you than valium or prozac as well.
St Peter at Spexhall is a particularly idyllic spot. This largely Victorianised little church sits in a sweet little graveyard behind a fence and gates. In spring, the long grasses and Mary's Lace boil up around the walls, and if you sit down on the slab of a tombchest for a while, you'll know that there's nowhere else on earth you'd rather be. Lichened 18th and 19th century gravestones peep up for a little sunshine, and beyond rests the church, a neat little building looking all of JK Colling's 1870s restoration. He put a flying buttress over the chancel door, a witty borrowing from neighbouring Blythburgh. The round tower is from a later restoration, being rebuilt in 1910. However, there is one significant survival from earlier days, a great curiosity. This is the lattice pattern set in brick into the east wall. This dates from when the chancel was rebuilt in the early 18th century, presumably because it had fallen into such a bad state. This is so like the same thing in 15th century flint at nearby Barsham that it surely must be a copy.
The tower replaced one that fell in 1720. The base is possibly Saxon, at the very least early Norman. There is also a surviving blocked Norman north doorway. It is all very well looked after, and obviously loved. There is a sense in which St Peter has re-invented itself as a kind of wayside shrine, a place for passers-by to seek spiritual refreshment. As the sign in the porch says, it is always open, and you step into a light, pretty interior that is far more than just a posh venue for a Sunday club. This seems so obviously the way forward for the Church of England. The parish churches are its most visible act of witness, a powerful one, reminding us of something outside of the busy, materialist world of the 21st century.
Simple 19th Century tiles and benches give the interior a rustic feel. The Jones & Willis glass in the east window is good and a bit unusual, depicting Christ the Good Shepherd flanked by Miriam and the Widow with her mite. There is more glass by the workshop in the north aisle, although it was obscured on my most recent visit by a rather good patchwork of houses in the parish.
There are 15th and 16th century brass inscriptions, and one figure, reset on the wall, but more moving is a surviving battlefield cross, returned to this parish by the Imperial War Graves Commission when it was replaced with a permanent one in the years after the First World War. It marked the grave of Lt. J D Calvert of the Rifle Brigade, who died on the 15th February 1915. These crosses are increasingly valued survivals. Pretty much no one is now left alive with a memory of the Great War. Just as this church is a touchstone to the past, so these crosses spark a remembrance in the heart.
Huge leaf. Almost looked like a large piece of lettuce. :)
Took a short walk at the park on an extremely windy Autumn day. Sorry for so many photos, as usual. :) Just saving to albums.
A trip on a Kilimanjaro Safaris truck is a fun and educational experience. One learns interesting things about the animals along the route. For example, hippopotami spend a lot of time in the water, giving their legs a rest by floating with only the tops of their bodies visible above the surface. Another interesting fact is that the collective noun for at group of hippos is a bloat. So what we have here is a floating bloat.
One thing that one does NOT learn on safari is that one hippopotami cannot get on a bus, because one hippopotami is two hippopotamus. One learns that from the song One Hippopotami from the legendary genius of parody, Allan Sherman.
RIMBA AIR BASE, Brunei (Oct. 23, 2019) - Royal Brunei Armed Forces discuss aircraft capabilities with U.S. Navy Sailors inside a P-8 Poseidon aircraft assigned to Patrol Squadron (VP) 10 during a distinguished visitor tour of the aircraft in support of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) Brunei. This year marks the 25th iteration of CARAT, a multinational exercise designed to enhance U.S. and partner navies' abilities to operate together in response to traditional and non-traditional maritime security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.

The Division Commander Orders "..." – But Wallace Beer doesn't care what the sailor says the Division Commander order. His Galeport friends are giving him a parade as he goes off to war in Metro-Goldwyn Mayer's "Thunder Afloat," and he can't be bothered. Virginia Grey, his daughter, backs him up in his stand while the crowd cheers. Featuring Chester Morris, the picture is directed by George Seitz and produced by J. Walter Ruben.

It was a quiet night, a solo run to the raised Russian Sub that sank in Providence Harbor in 2007. En route I made a side stop to the west bound lanes of IWAY bridge construction site. I made my way down a boulder wall and along the water to a small outcropping used for tieing down boats.
This is the raised Juliett 484 Russian Submarine that sank in April 2007. It was tied here as a floating museum but was hit during a bad storm and took on water. You can see the oil traps surrounding the boat and the partial floating system at the stern of the hull that helped to float it. You could hear the pumps still working hard on keeping it that way.
This was the sub used in filming "K-19" starring Harrison Ford. You can read more about it here and at the RI Roads here.
Shot with the D200 and Holga with expired Fuji 64T RTP II - it'll take a week or so to get the Holga frames back.
You can see a pool here of all the shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.
