I finally found out who everyone in the picture is after talking to one of my cousin's who is likes to keep up with family genealogy. The second girl from the right is my grandmother Louise Henschke and the adult women are my great and great great grandmothers. With my grandmother looking around ten that would place this photo's date at around 1894 give or take. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XiaLzIYDng&ab_channel=BruceS...
"American land" by Bruce Springsteen.
What is this land America so many travel there
I'm going now while I'm still young my darling meet me there
Wish me luck my lovely I'll send for you when I can
And we'll make our home in the American land
Over there all the woman wear silk and satin to their knees
And children dear, the sweets, I hear, are growing on the trees
Gold comes rushing out the rivers straight into your hands
When you make your home in the American Land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk the's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
I docked at Ellis Island in a city of light and spires
She met me in the valley of red-hot steel and fire
We made the steel that built the cities with our sweat and two hands
And we made our home in the American Land
There's diamonds in the sidewalk the's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
The McNicholas, the Posalskis, the Smiths, Zerillis, too
The Blacks, the Irish, Italians, the Germans and the Jews
Come across the water a thousand miles from home
With nothing in their bellies but the fire down below
They died building the railroads worked to bones and skin
They died in the fields and factories names scattered in the wind
They died to get here a hundred years ago they're still dying now
The hands that built the country we're always trying to keep down
There's diamonds in the sidewalk the's gutters lined in song
Dear I hear that beer flows through the faucets all night long
There's treasure for the taking, for any hard working man
Who will make his home in the American Land
Coming winter at Mill De Zoeker
De Zoeker (The Seeker) is the name of an oil windmill, located in the Zaanse Schans, Zaanstad. Its purpose is to press seeds such as linseed and rapeseed into vegetable oil. It is the only oil mill still in operation, and is one of five remaining oil mills in the area.
The mill was built in 1672 in Zaandijk.

In superb Spring like weather Ipswich Buses Dennis Trident Alexander ALX 400 approaches East Bergholt on the 93 service to Colchester. Before this working it had already done a early morning service to Manningtree. Next stop for me the very nice Bakery here!

The slideshows keep coming, albeit they don't seem to draw major traffic. I guess Flickr is mostly for pictures, so it's understandable. These are, anyway, some of the highlights takes in 2012. I think this was the year when I really began taking good photos, partially due to acquiring new lenses and a new tripod.

And that is a saw proto;)
Male osprey announcing his arrival high above the ground on an athletic field light where his mate and a couple of young ones are in the nest waiting to see what he brought them.
In this case, nothing other than a few blades of grass where he missed some kind of prey a few minutes ago.
The favorite meal of ospreys consists of fish although they will eat other non-water based small animals as well.
As young ones develop and grow, they emit an almost continual piercing chirp as they plead for food.
Sometimes it is so incessant that the male heads for somewhere near where he can still watch over his family but doesn’t have to put up with the noise.
Now that I think of it, that may be why early man built small shop garages even before cars were invented.

The magical light of the Summer gardens and, as always, things coming and going. Happy Fence Friday, my friends, have a great weekend. It's a long weekend for those of you, here, in the US and in Canada, as well - Happy Columbus Day and Happy Thanksgiving! 8)
How might a spirit settle in the wind?
After death, how might a soul find peace?
Love lasts long after lips and laughter cease,
Leaving only memories behind.
Out of longings, one might linen spin,
Weaving well the welkin edged with fleece.
Each spirit must from wandering seek release,
Else ever through the weary midnights wend,
Not resting till love's angels dark descend
The last of my chives photos, and this one I layered with texture.
Thanks again to Bea www.flickr.com/people/beapierce/ who creates and generously offers texture layers. I usually try to do my own images for the texture layers, but I discovered this one a few days ago and had to try it. It's been working well with some of my images I think.
