[This is a series of 10 photos about Red Fox Farm) Approximately 2 miles north of Skipwith, Mecklenburg County, Virginia is Red Fox Farm, part of which is visible from the highway. All images were taken from the shoulder of the road and restricted me to the beautifully maintained tobacco barns. The farm is an excellent example of late 19th and early 20th centuries tobacco farm in Southside Virginia. Robert Jeffreys acquired the property about 1887-1888 and introduced the flue-curing technique of curing tobacco to the region. He focused on growing bright-leaf tobacco, used mainly in cigarettes. The dark-leaf previously grown in the area was used for chewing tobacco. There are five tobacco or curing barns on the property, dates unknown, all are about 18' square with a single opening where tobacco was hung to dry inside. Four barns also have an open shed. Unskinned logs were the building material, approximately 8 inches in diameter. The gaps between the logs were chinked with clay and sticks (see image 6 in this series). The gable roofs have metal roofs. The setting is picturesque with many standing trees contributing to the aesthetics. The farms economic and historical significance and the well-preserved outbuildings typical of the times justified inclusion on the National Register of Historical Places June 10, 1993 with ID #93000508
The farm implement is an antique animal-powered cultivator

Ich lade die Bilder in etwa der Reihenfolge meiner Tour hoch.
I'll upload the pictures in roughly the order of my tour.
• Interessant waren für mich die Baumaterialien (es gibt auf Island keine Tongruben und auch keine Wälder). Durch die von Vulkanen geprägte Landschaft und die ungewöhnlichen klimatischen Bedingungen waren übliche Baumaterialien wie Backsteine oder Holz nicht oder kaum vorhanden. Die Verkleidung der Dächer und Außenwände mit Wellblech und örtlich vorkommendem Bodenmaterial erhalten wieder mehr Aufmerksamkeit.
• The building materials were interesting for me (there are no clay pits and no forests in Iceland). Due to the volcanic landscape and the unusual climatic conditions, common building materials such as bricks or wood were not or hardly available. The cladding of the roofs and outer walls with corrugated iron and locally occurring flooring material is attracting more attention again.
Das Foto zeigt mit den dunkelgelben Krokussen einerseits kultivierte Natur im Steingarten, andererseits mit dem Ziegel auch ein Stück menschliche Kulturgeschichte. Dieser Ziegel mit den Insignien H und D sowie dem Doppeladler mit dem W stammt aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts vom Wienerberger Ziegelwerk des Heinrich Drasche. Wien war damals die viertgrößte Stadt der Welt und deren Wachstum verlangte viel mehr und bessere Ziegel als die bis dahin in Feldziegeleien getrockneten Lehmziegel. Heinrich Drasche erfand den industriellen Brennofen für Tonziegel und durfte auf seinen Tonziegeln denDoppeladler zeigen, was vom kaiserlichen Hof nur relativ selten erlaubt wurde. Das heute aktive, große Baustoff-Unternehmen Wienerberger ist der Nachfolger vom Ziegelwerk des Heinrich Drasche.
The photo shows with the dark yellow crocuses on the one hand cultivated nature in the rock garden, and with the brick on the other hand also a piece of human cultural history. This brick with the insignia H and D as well as the double-headed eagle with the W originates from the Wienerberger brickworks of Heinrich Drasche in the middle of the 19th century. At that time, Vienna was the fourth largest city in the world and its growth required many more and better bricks than the clay bricks that had been dried in field brickworks until then. Heinrich Drasche invented the industrial kiln for clay bricks and was allowed to display the double-headed eagle on his clay bricks, which was only allowed relatively rarely by the imperial court. Wienerberger, the large building materials company active today, is the successor to Heinrich Drasche's brickworks.
On the very last day of our New York vacation before heading to Maine State, we had a little time in the morning. It was an extremely humid and hot day in New York - you feel sweat going down on your face. We took a little walk from Park Slope to Gowanus, Carroll Gardens to Cobble Hill for a Thai food that I loved. It has been four years since I went to New York the last time, and many things changed in Brooklyn as well. Somewhat similar to San Francisco's gentrification, but things happened earlier and perhaps faster.
