This perspective of the monument there on Little Round Top (in Gettysburg) was in close to the rocks below ...
Taken after sunset as blue hour was taking over and the stars were coming out. A great time to be on the battlefield ... a quiet time.
This is a sort of old photo, taken in July 2022. It was taken on a hike along the Imnaha River to the Snake River. It was one of the most beautiful and memorable hikes I've ever taken (and yes, that includes the rattle snake blocking the path). At some point, I'll make it back.
I was in the area last year, but drove up the Imnaha rather hiking down it. That was one of the most beautiful drives I've driven in a long time. Turns out, this part of Oregon is stunning and amazing. Very few people explore it and that's all the better.
This photo was taken while climbing among the foundations of the smelting towers that used to be here during the mining days of the early 1900s.
It's all public land and open to exploration on foot.

“Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” - Francis of Assisi
If you have built castles in the air; your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

The essential starting point of a well built wall is a solid foundation and without it, there can be cracks, slippage and big problems!
No matter though, how good the foundations are, there can be geological problems underground resulting in subsidence and ultimately cracking results, similar to this.
This is what we experienced in the first house we bought in Worksop, Nottinghamshire,in the U.K. as well as in my parents house previously where cracks developed, large enough to fit your hand into! Expensive and extensive pinning and other processes were needed in order to rectify the situations. The whole area was riddled with underground mine workings that caused minor geological rifts to shift, resulting in damage to buildings on the surface.
This little stone tower appears to have been here for many years, but I have no idea who built it or how old it is. Whoever it was, they built it to last!
If someone asked you to construct a small tower like this on the beach - where it would be battered by rising tides and stormy waves - where would you build it? On the nice, soft sand, or on the solid rock? The answer is obvious, of course. If the tower is to stand the test of time and tide, it will have to be built on a solid foundation. Rock, not sand.
When foundations are so obviously important, why then are so many prepared to gamble with their eternal destiny by building their lives on a foundation which they have spent little or no time investigating? Many seem content to go through life, never contemplating what might await them after death. Consequently, they have no spiritual foundation. They make choices and take decisions which not only affect their lives today and for many years to come but, ultimately, those choices will determine where they will spend eternity.
Those who do occasionally think about life after death, often seem content to simply follow everyone else. But, if all around you are building their little stone towers on soft sand, should you follow their example? Or should you look around to find a rocky outcrop on which to build?
Since the Bible claims to be God's word to man; and since Jesus of Nazareth claimed that the Bible spoke about Him; and since He claimed to be the ONLY way to be saved from an eternity in hell; wouldn't it be prudent to take a little time to consider His claims? What have you got to lose? Only your very soul!
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Why not start here... the Gospel of John (the fourth book in the New Testament) is a surprisingly easy read. It's almost like a short novel and moves along at an engaging pace. And it will only take a few of hours to read the whole thing.
Back in the day our area was heavily mined for coal in vast underground tunnel systems. The miners lived in tiny homes they built, side by side. They named the place "Coal Town" Many of their foundations still exist today and are scattered all over this area. They had a nice view of Greenhorn Mountain in the distance. In a previous post, I took a pic of a huge coal pile they excavated by hand from the tunnels, which is just out of view to the right.
Every time we fight I know it's not right, every time that you're upset and I smile. I know I should forget, but I can't.

“I watched her and I watched the birds' shadows flit across her face, and I...wanted. I wanted more happy memories to hang up on the ceiling, so many happy memories with this girl that they would crowd the ceiling and flap out into the hall and burst out of the house.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Linger
I have another shot from this which I will use some time to edit, so this will be my weeks photo. It is simpel, but I like it. I really want to challenge myself for my last 2 weeks, and I have so many ideas.
Hope you guys like this simpel picture, love you all! <3

Have a good weekend
In the 19th century so the story goes, a rich householder who lived within sight of where the bridge is now built the original bridge of stone which stood here. He built the bridge for his two daughters so they could get to the beach on the other side. Alas this stone bridge was eventually washed away in a storm however the stone foundations remained and were reused as the foundations for the new bridge.

When King Gustav III was assassinated in 1792 his plans for this castle was also put to an end. The foundations are still there.

-- We think these are the remnants of old warehouses. The area is rather strange, because it's next to a big working agricultural plant -- fully operational -- and then acres and acres of these abandoned warehouses, just the walls and foundations, a modern abandoned office building that looks like it was never completed and then a field stretching to dormitories that were once used to house sugar cane cutters. The abandoned structures are now home for owls that come flying over your head in graceful arcs, leaving as you enter. Molly loves the sniffs.

House Foundations! We've had a lot of requests over the years for our old house foundation to be sold but we used it just for decor. Now we made a pack especially for you guys! 3 different house layouts in the pack, and each one is resizable using the normal SL edit function.. easy peasey :) All 3 are scattered around the Roost sim for you to see!
