This is one of the more bizarre sites I have come across in New Hampshire. This memorial stands alone an a very old, mostly uninhabited dirt road south of Wilton NH. Captain Sam Greele died at this location when a tree fell on him in 1788.
Sutton Masonic Hall was built in 1897 by a group of local Freemasons. During the Second World War the Hall was requisitioned by the military for 2 years and was used as a 'rest centre' and 'temporary shelter' by families displaced from their homes. It was returned to the owners in 1947.

Union Masonic Lodge No. 108 located in the Homesteaders' Village located in the Manitoba Agricultural Museum grounds in the Town of Austin Manitoba Canada
In 1986 Union Lodge decided to give up their charter as an active lodge on the Registry of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. R. W. Bro. Alvin G. Hewitt was the District Deputy Grand Master of District 2 at the time, he and several brethren of the District decided to have the lodge moved and placed as a working lodge on the street of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. Negotiations got under way with the Board of the Agricultural Museum and with the Board of General Purposes of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. An agreement was reached and a small group started on the project of fund raising. The Masons of Manitoba were most generous in their support and in a very short time the building was moved from the Town of Brookdale to the grounds of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum.

Built in 1916 and serving as a concert hall for most of its like, it is currently called The Concert Hall and I don't know why all the people were lined up on this day.
There's not much left of "downtown Grandfalls". The town's population peaked in the 1960 census at 1012 in 1960, having grown since the discovery of oil nearby in 1928. Since then, the town has shrunk to 230 residents, making it a near ghost town. This photo was taken shortly before sunset. Note the faded advertising on the garage (Standard Oil Products/Lubrication). To the right and behind the station is the abandoned Grandfalls Masonic Lodge 995.
This impressive building in Brisbane Street, Launceston was completed in 1884, and has been the centre for Lodge activities ever since. It is currently used by five local Masonic Lodges.
Our town's Masonic Temple with light trails early one morning. The door in the centre leads to the actual temple upstairs. There are shops below, and I believe there always have been, even in the early days. There is a pet store and a bowling alley on the left and right sides, respectively. Trees on our main street are lit all year.

After 10 days of following the Mississippi River, I returned to a Bay Area shrouded in smoke. It's difficult to know what is more heart-wrenching, the rapid, devastating impact of a critical event or the long, interminable destruction caused by decay and disinvestment. Maybe they're both worth our attention in their own way. I don't know how to help in either case, other than to document, analyze, or understand what's there. Sometimes, it's all beyond understanding, and the best we can hope for is living as best we can, good and responsible citizens, helping fellow humankind in their time of need. Pictured is a Masonic Hall in Mississippi, long left for fallow, but once a social center for thousands of families. These are teaching times.
What a fantastic few days I came back from a walk on Thursday to see one of my images in the NZIP awards come up on my computer. I quickly put on my headphones to hear it score 91, then listened in amazement. as it was talked up to 98 out of 100 I have posted the audio, which for me to hear was one of the biggest thrills in my photography journey. Then tonight, I found out I won the Australian Landscape open category and took out the highest scoring image

The Masonic Lodge building in Levuka, Fiji, dates from 1913. In July 2000 it was burned by a frenzied mob which had been told by superstitious preachers that it was a center of devil worship.

Masonic temple in the south side of Chicago. This Englewood temple had been abandoned almost 30 years. There has been recent retail development around 63rd and Halsted. Englewood was once a thriving area with a Sears and many stores, theaters and restaurants. Around the late 60's many stores closed and the area quickly went into decline. Now a Whole Food grocery store and other businesses have been built on what was vacant land
