Digging into History

 

Young Hollish then spent the rest of the day in the Castle's vast library, and after climbing several ladders to find unused, dust covered cabinets locked with strange spells and heavy iron bands, she came away with a family history of Nightrose.

 

No such traditions as the Duke described were mentioned, and certainly nothing about flaming puppies of any kind. It did however mention that every other Solstice, the Duke's bride had to be sacrificed to appease "The Vengeful Harpy of the Woods"...whatever that was.

 

It said this Harpy was kept imprisoned just beyond the tree line towards the coast and she resolved loudly to go investigate it that very evening.

 

The Duke, sneaking around behind her...was less than pleased about that resolve, but grateful that being young and mostly innocent she tended to speak all her thoughts out loud as exposition.

Hit 'L' to view on large.

 

Finally made it to the top of this building currently undergoing renovation with some of the best views in London.

 

This was on the way down from the top in the early hours.

 

Too bad it was extremely windy and it was hard work keeping the tripod steady.

Been digging through old photos a lot lately.

I haven't realised this land have to face abuses. Apart from treasure hunters carving the boulders, chiselled them not for aesthetic purpose, they chiselled the boulders in view of getting into some kind of cave and tunnel under that holds what they said of treasures left by the Japanese Imperial army dominating in this place during the Japanese invasion. This was known as part of the Japanese garrison, of which many TH hunters believe these looted treasures have been buried hidden in many parts of the area, including this small piece land I bought some years ago. I was bought because it's cheap and it has views and good for maybe relocation for my goats.

 

I didn't know anything about the story line until one reported about the digging done. So I had it checked and proof of the digging had been too evident, rocked chiselled out and cemented back in.

This photo of The Monkey was taken

back in August, I have nothing new

at the present time. As you all

know a lot of Thailand has

been experiencing

flood conditions.

 

Weatherman predicts by the 16th we

will be experiencing worse weather

and to expect a tremendous flood.

 

Many homes and businesses around

here are still full of flood water. Some

are a meter deep and some are less.

 

Everything is covered with mud/clay

and will take sometime to cleanup !

We lost some stuff but it's only stuff.

 

In some areas including ours the

local gov has been using a small

boat to deliver food and drinking

water. We have two young ladies

that have been sheltering with us.

I think when I shot the photograph

of my bike and the driveway I was

waiting for them to come across in

the government boat and then they

would ride to our place in the sidecar.

 

A lot has been happening

so my memory's a bit vague.

 

Here's a story I haven't forgotten.

Our carport is about 33 feet long

and open at both ends. When the

flood water was just over a meter

deep and carrying sticks, limbs an

foliage of all sizes, even a big fish

once. Anyway I timed how long it

took to take a leaf in one end and

out the other. It took, 5 seconds !

 

This isn't all about us, it's about everybody.

Some have lost everything, as others have

ended up in the hospital. We are alive, worn

but alive and the dogs are doing just fine ;-)-

 

Like I said some stuff is gone or ruined

forever but it is only stuff. The computer

is running real weird and wonky and will

need to see the computer man real soon.

 

No# 1 wife fought a large cobra close to her

leg and won ! That was way, way to close ;-0

 

There's probably more I could say but most

importantly I want to thank all of you for

your on-going support an kind words.

 

This new situation is going to

take a very long time to fix !

  

Thank You.

Jon&Crew.

Best time of the day, when I get back home in the evening and then I take Sam and my camera out for a stroll :)

And this was a good opportunity to test my 135L as well.

With both EMD's roaring on a fully loaded 5444N Westons grain from Penny's Rd at Bellata, SSR102 and SSR101 bog down and struggle up the harsh 1/40 grade as they snake their way out of Doughboy Hollow to the top of Ardglen Bank.

The train would arrive into Newcastle long after dark and become one of the first SSR trains to tip at Carrington, where the train would form to 4841N and head West to load again.

Western Bluebirds

La Pine, OR

Early March of last year this bluebird pair arrived and were digging for nuggets of food buried under the recent snowfall. The Western Bluebird’s diet in summer consists mainly of ground-dwelling insects (grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars, etc.) that they swoop down and nab after spying it from a low perch. In winter they switch to a fruit and seed diet.
