Step inside to experience the warmth and hospitality of this beautifully preserved home, which has been welcoming guests for over 100 years.
Indiana Jones na Bolivia :)
Train Cemetery - Uyuni
In 1872 began the construction of the railway from Antofagasta to Bolivia, the first railway line in the country. It was used to transport raw materials such as sodium nitrate and other salts, but also metals such as copper, silver, and gold, from inland mines to port cities on the Pacific Ocean. When the railway reached Uyuni at the end of the 19th century, a railway depot was built in the town. Uyuni then became an important railway junction. Around the 1940s, the local industry collapsed and most of the precious metal mines were abandoned. As a result, the locomotives and railcars were no longer needed, were shut down and left abandoned.
There is a total of around 100 locomotives and carriages in the railway graveyard, the oldest of which date from the late 19th century.
Cementerio de Trenes - Uyuni
En 1872 se inició la construcción del Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia, la primera línea férrea de Bolivia. Se utilizaba para transportar materias primas como el nitrato de sodio y otras sales, pero también metales como el cobre, la plata y el oro, desde las minas del interior hasta las ciudades portuarias del Océano Pacífico. Cuando la vía férrea llegó a Uyuni a finales del siglo XIX se construyó un depósito ferroviario en el pueblo. Uyuni se convirtió en ese entonces en un importante nudo ferroviario. Alrededor de la década de 1940, la industria local colapsó y la mayoría de las minas de metales preciosos fueron abandonadas. Como resultado, la mayoría de las locomotoras y vagones ya no fueron necesarios, se apagaron y se dejaron en abandono.
Hay un total de alrededor de 100 locomotoras y vagones en el cementerio ferroviario, los más antiguos de los cuales datan de finales del siglo XIX.

Most of the fabric of the original building remains intact, though the Cow's and Cowshed's are long gone.

CN's U79082-E14 with a trio of standard cab GE C40-8's on the head end flies by Jones at 40 per, on their way to Minntac for another load of taconite pellets.
Jones Lake in Moncton was stunning this evening. The best camera is the one you have with you, so my iPhone had to do!
Exhaust and sand are flying as 3823 and company haul south through the nice straight segment of Jones Forest in Milton, NH.
Met up with the Calvert Photography Club last Saturday in Alexandria, Va. Even though it was freezing, I had a great time photographing Old Towne with everyone.
Prior to the meetup, Jeff and I met up at Jones Point to photograph the sunrise. This is the same dock from my last upload taken from a different perspective. You can see more of the clouds in this one.
More photos from this trip are on the way.
A far cry from Jones Beach in New York, with its white sand and hoards of people, California's Jones Beach is a beautiful black sand beach in the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. It is one of the few beaches on California's Lost Coast that you can access by car -- it's only a mile hike from the Needle Rock Visitor Center. It's a 6 mile drive from the the small community of Shelter Cove that includes a steep descent on a one lane dirt road that is impassable in wet weather. The beach is quite small except at low tide, when there are wonderful tide pools.
We were lucky to have a sunny afternoon after a foggy start to the day, More to come ...
Wishing you a lovely weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Instead of watching the new Star Wars movie, I had reactivated my Netflix account so that I could catch that Jessica Jones series.

Jones Lake is a quintessential carolina bay (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_bay) in Bladen County, North Carolina. This bay always has water -- hence its status as a lake. It has the classic oval shape and has the northwest-southeast orientation. It is surrounded by forested wetlands, which you get a hint of in this photo with the band of trees on the far side of the lake. This particular lake has been included in the Jones Lake State Park. There is a ~5 mile hiking trail around the lake.
Philip Larkin dedicated his 1955 Collection "The Less Deceived" to Monica Jones, one of his long suffering women consorts. Monica Jones purchased the property as a holiday home in late 1961 with part of the proceeds from her parents estate. Larkin first visited in April 1962 following which he wrote:
'I thought your little house seemed... distinguished and exciting and beautiful... it looks splendid and it can never be ordinary with the Tyne going by outside... You have a great English river drifting under your window...'
The place always cheered them both up. 'As always, the place worked its spell', wrote Larkin. From here they journeyed to the Lake District and elsewhere. They visited Hadrian's Wall, Langley Castle, Allendale and Allenheads. They certainly crossed into Scotland at Carter Bar. The pair occasionally dined out with friends at the Lord Crewe arms in Blanchland,
Larkin's poem 'Show Saturday' is a description of the 1973 Bellingham show. He refers to Haydon Bridge and its California Gardens allotments in the poem:
"Back now to private addresses, gates and lamps
In high stone one-street villages, empty at dusk,
And side roads of small towns (sports finals stuck
In front doors, allotments reaching down to the railway);
Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday".
In 1982, Monica retired to live in Haydon Bridge. Larkin called her 'Bun', a Beatrix Potter allusion, and both called 1A Ratcliffe Road her 'Rabbit Hole'. Larkin was fond of animals, particularly rabbits; they were also Monica's favourite animal. She often asked to see the pet rabbits of the Willis family next door. Monica finally left the cottage in 1984, when ill-health prevented her living alone. She continued to enquire about it, however, asking Mrs Willis by phone: 'How is my little house?' 'How is my river, is it high?' A prospective buyer recalls that Monica talked about Haydon Bridge as if it were paradise; she was still desperately reluctant to sell the property and even nurtured thoughts of an eventual return.
Following Monica's death in 2001 1a Ratcliffe Road yeided up part of the treasure of almost 2000 letters from Philip Larkin, now in the care of the Bodlean Library. An impressive selection has been made by Anthony Thwaite and published in 2010 in "Philip Larkin Letters to Monica"

I watched all the Indiana Jones movies last week and
had a pretty good time! I decided to make figures from
every movie to go along with it.

Sam Jones (Abiaka) was a powerful spiritual leader of a Miccosukee band of Seminoles. At one time he lived here on the Pine Island complex, an important Seminole ceremonial grounds until the 19th Century. Sam Jones was a major force of resistance against the U.S during the Seminole wars of the 1800's. He helped warriors prepare for battle with his medicine and prayers.
Four thousands Seminoles were captured and removed to Oklahoma, but Sam Jones and his followers never surrendered. Because of his inflexible courage and determination, there are Seminoles living in Florida today.
