Diana's Grove is a tranquil wooded area situated near to Blair Castle within the grounds of Atholl Estates. Diana's Grove is named after the Roman Goddess of Hunting. Blair Castle is the ancestral home of the Dukes of Atholl, known as the 'Planting Dukes' in the 18th & 19th centuries, by 1830 the family had planted over 27 million trees within the Atholl Glens.
The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

Last week, we had another king tide, as well as 80km hour winds along the water. The wind and waves brought hundreds of logs to Ambleside Beach, as well as destroying the sailing club and some of the seawall, and the pier sustained damage, sadly.
I wish I had been there to witness the power of nature. But I did go there two days after hoping to photograph some of the aftermath. I couldn't get to the pier as it was closed, as was much of the seawall.
So I decided to do an ICM of the logs that had rolled onto the beach. Another photographer was walking into my scene and I thought she looked very ghostly here as she moved slowly along the shore.
Took this shot in Longview, WA last year. I was actually back here today, dropping off an empty trailer at Keystone Paper. We haul large rolls of paper to companies that use it to make corrugated cardboard boxes. (8 rolls weight over 40,000 LBS, which is enough to fill our 53' trailers.) When trees are logged, places like this is where they start the process of becoming all the many things we use wood for.

"It's Natural to be Afraid"/ Explosions in the Sky
The driver taking forward the 12.44pm Carlisle Yard - Chirk Kronospan log train (6J37), waits patiently for the arriving driver to collect his belongings from the cab at Warrington's Bank Quay station. Colas unit 56105 is doing the honours.
An image not previously uploaded but one I thought deserved a run-out, not least for die-hard 'Grid' fans. This was one of the last railway shots I took with the part-frame EOS 7D before upgrading to the full-frame 5D, a move I've never regretted (it's still my main camera with no current plans to replace).
I had little luck processing this one at the time, but today's software has rendered it more than passable - technically if not artistically.

Church homestead
A church from year 1742, Zarubyntski village of Monastyryshchenskyi district of Cherkasska Region
The building comprises of three rooms: a groove + nave + altar. The church is made of hewn oak bars, three-domed. The central dome is the highest one, with two logjams. Crosses, crescents and flowers were retained on the domes. Awning bars have decorative intersections. The central log-building is eight-squared, vertically elongated, its side framing facetted. It has four levels, with an open lantern blind in its interior; side frames are of three levels, with a lantern blind. The obvious inclination of the log walls brings the whole composition to a single center – an axis of the main tower. There have never been any additional buildings before the entrance to the church, and doors were always in plain view. Especial attention has been paid on decoration thereof.
Inside of the church is divided into three parts: the groove, the nave (middle part) and the altar. The groove is the entrance area, permitted for those who repented and adherent, as well as those who prepared themselves to christening.
The five-level altar screen combines monumental engraving and sophisticated painting. An original altar screen of 18th Century sustained damage. Although, two engraved columns, several frames and two icons survived in its apostolic row to become a basis for reconstruction of the whole iconostasis.
Church was a heart of every town. It was a place of keeping books; it was a religious and an administrative building at the same time. The matters of human life were resolved here. The church houses Ukrainian orthodox divine services since 1990.
A fence of pine-tree half-beams fixed to piles. Top of the fence is covered by double-slope roofing made of wooden lathing. The gates and doors in front of entrance to the church are covered by roofing with an icon.

Церква Воздвиження
В 1755 р. керівник малярні Києво-Печерської лаври Аліпій Галик (бл.1685 – 1768 рр.) писав, що малював церкви та іконостаси в Китаєві, Голосіївці, Пирогові, Вишеньках, Осокорках, Сорокошицях, Пакулі, на Стародубщині, в двох печерах і в Болдаївці на Либеді.

The Speicherstadt (lit. city of warehouses, meaning warehouse district) in Hamburg, Germany is the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations, oak logs, in this particular case. It is located in the port of Hamburg—within the HafenCity quarter—and was built from 1883 to 1927.
The district was built as a free zone to transfer goods without paying customs. As of 2009 the district and the surrounding area is under redevelopment.
Since 1815, the independent and sovereign city of Hamburg was a member of the German Confederation—the association of Central European states created by the Congress of Vienna—but not member of the German Customs Union. With the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, Hamburg could not be a customs free zone and part of the German Empire. Due to treaties of 1888 Hamburg was part of the German customs zone and a free port was established.
In 1883 the demolition of the Kehrwieder area began and more than 20,000 people needed to be relocated. From 1885 to 1888 the first part was built and managed by the Freihafen-Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft (the predecessor of the Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG). Since 1991 it is listed a heritage site in Hamburg, and since 2008, part of the HafenCity quarter. In an attempt to revitalize the inner city area, the Hamburg government initiated the development of the HafenCity area, for example with the construction of the Elbe Philharmonic Hall.
Students have all logged out of this schoolhouse.
It was extremely cold yesterday morning when I took this, so I also quickly logged out in favour of the warmth of home.

Captain's logs star date Sept 2022.- winding through route 99 and making another stop for eye popping scenery. No wonder the 7 hour trip took 13 hours.
Another way of seeing the countryside is using these log rafts. I think that the canoes were a little better though - rather more maneuverable through the rapids
I never paid much attention to this old log barn until now, but it stands out beautifully against the frosty trees. I wonder why it was built using vertical logs. Every year we have a few days when heavy fog freezes, creating beautiful frosty scenery.

PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.
This is another one that I check periodically when in the area for other reasons. The right side has collapsed considerably since the last visit and the top of the chimney has fallen off.
Another shot from Lost Maples SP... the tree fell at some point and has become a welcoming host for the moss growing here.

In the Forest at the LEwis and Clark National Historic park there were many trees that had fallen and were in various stages of decay.
