Much of Lancaster County Pennsylvania is made up of rural farms that dot the landscape with towering silos.
Lancaster Priory's historic clock has marked time for locals and visitors alike since 1886. The tower, built in 1759, is one of the finest church towers in the country. On the hill above the city of Lancaster, the tower is an iconic sight visible for miles around.
Lancaster Priory, formally the Priory Church of St Mary, is the Church of England parish church of the city of Lancaster. A Roman fort existed on the site from the 1st century, and some form of church may possibly have been established around the year 200. It is believed that a monastery had been established here prior to the Norman conquest of England.
The interior of Lancaster Priory, formally the Priory Church of St Mary, is mostly medieval but has 13 centuries of history, evident from traces of a Saxon church, such as the Saxon doorway with Anglican cross fragments, 14th Century choir stalls, superb tapestries, and King’s Own Memorial Chapel with historical regimental standards and battle honours.
The present building holds Viking ornaments, crusaders’ coffins and part of Jacobean ‘three-decker’ pulpit. The Memorial Chapel holds arguably the most complete collection of Regimental Colours in the country.

Lancaster Castle, often known as John O’ Gaunt’s Castle, is one of the most historically fascinating surviving buildings in the country. Its beginnings date back to Roman times when, from its commanding position on the hill overlooking the town of Lancaster and the River Lune, it stood as a bastion against the marauding forces of the ancient Picts and Scots tribes.
That was the saying I often heard as a kid growing up in Lancaster County. It is in regard to how high the corn should have grown by this date.

A lovely treat of a waterfall along the Mt. Defiance trail. I did not do the trail in its entirety, I had a lot of other plans for the day so I only had time to check out the area a little bit, admire some waterfalls, and hop onto the Starvation Ridge trail to gaze at the incredible views before going back into town. But I do look forward to exploring that area more once spring arrives.
I first noticed this technique of blowing out the highlight detail at an art exhibit and have always wanted to recreate it.

The Lancaster Canal was constructed in the 1790s and was intended to run from Lancaster to Kendal in the north and to Preston in the south. This is the northern part of the canal above Tewitfield, where a road has cut this off from the canal to the south. No boats operate here, though there has been talk of reuniting the various parts of the canal.
CPKC 241 charges through Lancaster, Minnesota with 20 miles left to go until the international border crossing between the US and Canada. I am a big fan of the Soo Line era station sign here. It adds a nice consistent touch to a railroad that slowly loses Soo Line evidence over time.
As a side note, the road crossing with Manitoba is only 10 miles north of Lancaster, and this town is the last chance for fuel before reaching the border on US 59.
