Δευτέρα Παρουσία
Ο Θεός λέει:«Μετά από τόση φασαρία και αναστάτωση, τόσες στενοχώριες και απογοητεύσεις, μετά από τόσες χαρές και λύπες, τόσα σκαμπανεβάσματα, μετά από τόσα αξέχαστα χρόνια, αφού έχει δει την εναλλαγή των εποχών ξανά και ξανά, ο άνθρωπος περνά τα σημαντικά ορόσημα της ζωής δίχως προειδοποίηση και, μέσα σε μια στιγμή, βρίσκεται να διανύει τα τελευταία του χρόνια. Τα σημάδια του χρόνου είναι αποτυπωμένα σε όλο του το κορμί: δεν μπορεί πια να σταθεί με το κορμί ίσιο, τα σκουρόχρωμα μαλλιά στο κεφάλι του γίνονται άσπρα, τα λαμπερά και φωτεινά του μάτια γίνονται σκοτεινά και θολωμένα, ενώ η λεία και μαλακή του επιδερμίδα ρυτιδώνει και γεμίζει κηλίδες. Η ακοή του φθίνει, τα δόντια του κουνιούνται και πέφτουν, οι αντιδράσεις του επιβραδύνονται, οι κινήσεις του γίνονται αργές… Στο σημείο αυτό, έχει αποχαιρετήσει ολοκληρωτικά τα παθιασμένα χρόνια της νιότης του και έχει εισέλθει στο σούρουπο της ζωής του: τα γηρατειά.... »

I love the obscure and how a ripple in water can make a beautiful scene almost dreamlike in quality. I love a window reflection that exhibits a scene unlike the ordinary site if I were to look directly at it. A passerby seems so much more enigmatic reflecting in a puddle than in real life when the story can feel more like a memory rather than a simple juncture in the day. I love that something simple can suddenly be slightly more complex, deeper and provide a view into an "alternate universe". I love that the mundane, with the use of a reflection, can be dynamic and compelling with an edge of obscurity.
The origins of the present South Carolina State House, a fine example of neoclassical architecture and the third in the State's history, can be traced back to the 1849 recommendation of Govenor Whitemarsh B. Seabrooks that a fireproof building be constructed by the State to protect its historic papers. The cornerstone for such a facility was laid in 1851, but 2 years later the legislature expanded the project to include construction of a new capitol. By 1851, work was proceeding rapidly but had to be stopped when it was discovered that poor workmanship and materials had caused the walls to crack. At this juncture, John Rudolph Niernsee, an Austrian-born architect then residing in Baltimore, was hired to oversee the project. Niernsee drafted a new design for the building—which would be followed with few exceptions until completion—and late in 1855, after the cracked walls had been razed, construction resumed. Using granite from the nearby Congaree River and $1,240,032 in legislative appropriations, Niernsee, by 1860, had completed most of the exterior work on the new capitol, and by 1862 its vaults were ready to receive the public papers.
During the Civil War, construction continued albeit on a somewhat limited basis. In February 1865, William T. Sherman and the Union Army occupied Columbia, and he ordered a number of public buildings including the old state house put to the torch. For some unknown reason, Sherman spared the unfinished state house. Although some have claimed he admired its beauty and left it alone for that reason, South Carolina historian A.S. Salley offers a more likely explanation: "He probably wished to save the store of explosives it would have taken to blow it up and he probably feared injury to his reckless, drunken soldiers in the explosions." Despite the exemption, the structure did suffer damage from shelling and the burning of the nearby old state house. Sherman's men also destroyed $700,000 worth of finished marble and other materials as well as Niernsee's models and plans.
In the first years after the war, work on the building proceeded very slowly. Not until 1869 was the roof finished and the legislature able to meet in the still uncompleted building. These were the years of Reconstruction, and the capitol served as the setting for some of this drama's most exciting scenes. Between 1869 and 1874, the only State legislature in American history with a black majority sat here, attracting attention both in this country and abroad. In 1873, James Shepherd Pike, a leading Republican journalist, used the capitol as the backdrop for his famous book, The Prostrate State: South Carolina under Negro Government, which made blacks appear as "ignorant dupes, the tools, of Federal power." Although Pike, according to his biographer Robert P. Burden, was "far from dispassionate in his influential report on Reconstruction", his account was accepted at face value because of his prominence. Pike's book also influenced historians, helping reinforce the image of Reconstruction as an era of black domination, corruption, and misrule. In 1935, Henry S. Commager praised its "transparent honesty" and "thorough documentation," and as late as 1947, it was described as the classic work on Reconstruction outrages. The interpretation presented in The Prostrate State is, of course, no longer accepted by most historians.
The state house also witnessed one of the final acts of Reconstruction. In 1876, Wade Hampton and the Democrats conducted their famous "Red Shirt" campaign against Daniel H. Chamberlain and the Republicans in a concerted effort to "redeem" the State. "Both parties engaged in fraud, with some counties reporting more votes than there were registered voters", says historian Alien W. Trelease. The result was that both Hampton and Chamberlain claimed victory, and their respective parties claimed control of the lower house of the legislature. When the General Assembly convened in November 1876, the Democratic members of the lower house withdrew when several of their members' election certificates were not recognized. They then chose William H. Wallace speaker while Republicans elected Edwin W.M. Mackey to the same post. On November 30, the Democratic legislators returned to the capitol and "thus was seen the singular spectacle of two speakers and two Houses conducting deliberations in the same hall." Four days later, because of threatened bloodshed, the Wallace House moved to another meeting place, probably at the urging of Wade Hampton who exerted himself to the utmost to maintain peace. According to scholar Hampton M. Jarrell, if Wade Hampton "had no other claim to greatness, his wise leadership during the five months following the election of 1876 would entitle him to both state and national honor; for during this crisis he maintained peace in an area where, but for him, violence would have erupted." Next, both Chamberlain and Hampton were inaugurated as Governor, and South Carolinians found themselves confronted with the spectacle of dual government. It soon became apparent that Hampton and the Wallace House had the full backing of the white population and that Chamberlain and the Mackey House were tolerated only because of the presence of Federal troops in the state. On April 10, 1877, fulfilling part of the compromise which had allowed his United States Presidential inauguration, Rutherford B. Hayes withdrew these troops, and the following day Hampton and his supporters assumed full control of the government of South Carolina.
Because of the austerity programs of "Redeemers" like Hampton, work on the capitol proceeded slowly. Finally, in 1885, Governor Hugh S. Thompson, a strong advocate of completing the capitol, recalled John Rudolph Niernsee, its original architect, from Baltimore, but he died before he was able to resume the project. From 1888 to 1891 his son, Frank McHenry Niernsee, served as architect, and under his direction much of the interior work was completed. In 1900, Frank Milburn became architect and stirred up a great deal of controversy because he substituted the present dome for the tower which had been envisioned by the elder Niernsee. Because much of Milburn's work was of inferior quality, he was replaced in 1905 by Charles Coker Wilson, who corrected these deficiencies and finished the exterior in 1907. Finally, after 56 years and the expenditure of $3,450,000, the South Carolina State House had been completed. Since 1907 the exterior of the capitol has changed little, while the interior has been modernized. Today, it still serves as the meeting place for the South Carolina General Assembly and contains the Governor's Office, and the Office of the Legislative Council.
For its long, storied history, the South Carolina State House was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on June 5, 1970 and later determined to be a National Historic Landmark (NHL) on May 11, 1976. All of the information above, and much more, was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration. These documents can be viewed here:

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Annapolis River (formerly the Dauphin River) in southwestern Nova Scotia became a centre of the European colonization of North America. For more than 3,000 years, the Mi’kmaq and their ancestors had used the river as part of an important overland route to the south shore of Nova Scotia. In 1605, fifteen years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, three years before the founding of Quebec, and two years before founding of Jamestown in Virginia, French explorers established a settlement on the shores of where the river meets the basin. Because of its expanse and beauty, they named the basin Port-Royal.
With the aid of the Mi’kmaq, the settlers set out to establish a fur trading post and an agricultural colony. They cleared land upriver at the present locations of Annapolis Royal and Fort Anne National Historic Site, where they grew wheat and other crops. To grind grain from the site, they constructed a grist mill on the Allain River. Despite financial and other hardships, the small colony developed important ties with the Mi’kmaq and set about introducing French culture in this territory they called Acadia.
In 1613, an English expedition from Jamestown, led by [Captain] Samuel Argall, appeared in Port-Royal to find the Habitation undefended. They raided and burned most of the settlement to the ground, killed livestock and destroyed crops. This episode marked the beginning of a 150-year conflict between Britain and France.
It is at this juncture where the story of Fort Anne National Historic Site begins.
At this semi-laid back juncture of your career (yup - you re at the bottom of the food chain again!) I wish you astronomical success ............ and hence this pic titled - Moon Walk ..... is Just for you !!
All the best.. We re always by your side !
just for info, this hasn't been processed with hdr or selective color. just a click of color boost in iphoto and then 50% frosted in picmonkey.
this wall was at the juncture of a t-junction and as I walked towards it I was thinking of street photography advice: 'stake a good spot and wait for someone interesting to walk by'. As these things with me are always done on the move, I was not about to hang around, but was interested to see who came around the corner. Voila, the result . . . .
