……Yes there is a castle ruin here believe me - it’s just off right but to be honest I was more taken up with this little scene with an old iron fence, due to lockdowns and closed borders into Wales I think I’d have come back here again & again! This for me is a shot for all seasons, this is late summer - perhaps 2021 will be the year?!?. HFF & I hope you have a great W/End, stay local & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

NKP 765 gets topped off from the Montgomery, WV fire department on the homeward leg of a Huntington-Hinton New River Train round trip excursion. A sharp eye will note duct tape covering the window of the lead dome, an en route repair made when a tree fell down onto the train at Cotton Hill during a short, but intense storm.
…… Had a day trip today to just over the Shropshire border into Wales to visit Montgomery, a small market town which happened to be today too. Walked up to the castle to admire the views, love this little bit with pond - the castle is behind me. Alan:-).…….

My visit to Montgomery, Alabama was one of the most eye-opening and disturbing parts of the entire 9,000 mile journey. I don't really have the words to describe it, nor the photos to illustrate it. The reason for that is to follow.
…….A good walk up from the Castle here for super views weather permitting - it wasn’t when we walked up!! Blooming windy up top it was and poor visibility - must try again sometime! Hope your W/End is going well, stay local & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

Turned onto Montgomery this morning to U turn toward work and saw the moon. Parked at work and made a nuisance of myself on the median, with drivers thinking I was a cop with radar gun.
Oh well.
I love barns... gotta stay true to heart and keep taking the pics and keep posting them.
What do you like to photograph the most?
Montgomery Place, now Bard College: The Montgomery Place Campus, near Barrytown, New York, United States, is an early 19th-century estate that has been designated a National Historic Landmark. It is also a contributing property to the Hudson River Historic District, itself a National Historic Landmark.[5] It is a Federal-style house, with expansion designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis.[6] It reflects the tastes of a younger, post-Revolutionary generation of wealthy landowners in the Livingston family who were beginning to be influenced by French trends in home design, moving beyond the strictly English models exemplified by Clermont Manor a short distance up the Hudson River. It is the only Hudson Valley estate house from this era that survives intact, and Davis's only surviving neoclassical country house.[7]
No Montgomery County Fair this year. Like so many, it was cancelled due to the pandemic. This was from last year.

Montgomery County Old Threshers Show, Missouri
Lots of burnt up slot machines in the back room of the casino. Also a safe. This is a most interesting location, besides the burned out casino there are about 12-15 houses, two motels, a restaurant, truck repair garage and lots of sheds and smaller buildings. On US6 at Montgomery Pass. A real ghost town with a US Highway running right through it.
Located on US Highway 6, "the loneliest road" in Mineral County, Nevada. This is part of the series of the loneliest tourist attractions on US6. Not all are abandoned joints.

The incomparable and unforgettable Norfolk & Western 4-8-4 #611 with a Roanoke-Walton excursion at Montgomery, Virginia. October 1993.
No trip to the main line of the Norfolk and Western west of Roanoke would be complete without a stop at the twin Montgomery tunnels. Here, extra 858 west, long hood forward in accord with then N&W practice, brings its train through the iconic location near Christiansburg, Virginia.
Another shot from last year's trip to Montgomery Castle, Shropshire
This was a lovely warm Summer night and the rising Moon lit the Castle ruins beautifully

a long time ago ...
