Cleveland, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024

The last evening of a wonderful vacation!

© 2009 Richard Skoonberg

This was a capture taken with the CPL filter to see the details under the water ... pretty water there in the Florida Keys. This capture taken from the Sunset Grille where we had "Linner" in the middle of the afternoon was pretty iconic of the sights ... the colors there on the buildings and homes are a nice contrast to the water color.

We took the tour of Keys Ranch at Joshua Tree National Park. Bill Keys was an early miner and rancher in the area. He was quite the scavenger as he built the buildings and fences from pieces and parts he found (or appropriated) in the area. He lived on the ranch for 60 years accumulating metal and wood pieces, trucks, cars and other detritus. The park service has owned the ranch since the early 70's. This is an example of the Keys Ranch fence. It was likely in slightly better shape when Keys was alive. If you zoom in you can see the watertower, windmill, residence and other buildings in the distance through the fence.

 

Happy Fence Friday!

 

A High Key of my first camera, Olympus Trip 35! I fondly remember waiting for Boots the Chemist to process my film and then excitedly opening the paper wallet containing my prints. Of course in my early days of photography most were either over or under exposed and many appeared to capture my hand or a finger and sometimes a thumb and even a shot or two of the ground :)

To say that life was tough in Joshua Tree in the early 20th century is a gross understatement. Remote, rugged, extremely isolated, with all the harshness and challenges of living in the desert apply to the Keys Ranch area of what is now Joshua Tree National Park. Bill Keys is perhaps the best known of the early settlers in the area, and the National Park Service provides guided tours to his ranch.

Theme was to use a key in a non-key like way.

Robert Eugene Otto

 

View On Black

    

Robert Eugene Otto was born into an affluent Key West family in October 1900. The family ran their home , later called 'The Artist House,' with the assistance of servants from the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Robert "Gene" Otto was an only child who was cared for by a nanny, believed to have been of Bahamian descent.

In 1904, when Robert was 4 years old, he was given a doll, claimed to have been made for him by his nanny. It was also claimed that the hair on the doll's head was Robert's. Young Robert was enthralled by this toy and was rarely seen without it. He was even heard to speak to the doll, and some say that the doll could be heard to answer back. The boy and his doll could be seen in town dressed in an identical sailor suit, and the doll had his own chair at the family's dinner table. At some point in time Robert demanded that he only be called "Gene" because his doll was named "Robert." Whenever "Gene" was accused of committing some sort of mischief he would declare, "Robert did it!" By all accounts the attachment to this toy was a strange one. It has been rumoured that the doll was imbued with powers through the use of voodoo by four servants, including the creator of the doll.

 

Robert "Gene" Otto kept the doll throughout his life and the attic was decorated as a room for Robert the Doll, including his own furniture. Eventually Gene married a woman named Anne, and even as an adult the doll was still used as a scapegoat. On many occasions after arguing with his wife "Gene" would later claim that "Robert did it!" Anne despised the doll and insisted that it remain in the attic. Upon Gene's death Anne placed the doll in a trunk, left it in the attic and sold the house.

A vintage Awan lock and key. These were apparently used in maritime operations, but other than that, I do not know much about this lock. Taken with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm 3.5 on an extension tube.
