While walking down the Paint Creek Trail, I spotted some stone pillars (have a shot of them for later maybe). After going off the trail, I spotted this. I thought it was interesting and wondered who did it. It wasn't far off the trail, you can see the fence in the background. Thanks to everyone who views/comments/faves my stream...it is greatly appreciated. This made Explore, thanks again!

A beautiful New Year's day exploring and watching wildlife along the Burnt River Canyon
A beautiful winter day exploring and a little wildlife watching along the Burnt River Canyon between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep this trip and a napping Barn Owl

Stonebraker’s Bakery and the Fancy Goods storefronts on Shenandoah Street in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, offer a fascinating glimpse into the town’s rich commercial history. These well-preserved structures reflect the bustling marketplace that once served travelers, locals, and visitors arriving by train or canal boat during the 19th century.
Stonebraker’s Bakery, a charming pale stone building, proudly displays its sign above the shop’s original windows and doors. The bakery originally supplied fresh bread, cakes, and other baked goods to the community, catering to soldiers, townsfolk, and travelers alike. Today, it serves as a historical exhibit maintained by the National Park Service, allowing visitors to step back in time and imagine the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. Its classic architecture includes black shutters, wrought iron balcony railings, and a dignified cream façade that speaks to the style of the 1800s.
Next door, the two-story Fancy Goods building, with its inviting white porch and prominent blue signage, once housed an array of goods and essentials for visitors. During Harpers Ferry’s heyday, this type of establishment provided customers with imported items, small luxuries, and souvenirs—a small piece of the world brought to West Virginia’s mountain crossroads. Its preserved signage and front porch capture the feeling of 19th-century Americana, when local stores were the lifeblood of a thriving town.
Both Stonebraker’s Bakery and the Fancy Goods store are located on Shenandoah Street, a thoroughfare steeped in history. Harpers Ferry itself was a strategic town during the American Civil War, changing hands multiple times between Union and Confederate forces. The buildings here have witnessed the comings and goings of soldiers, abolitionists, and townsfolk alike. The town’s association with John Brown’s 1859 raid, the abolitionist movement, and the fight for freedom makes it a cornerstone of American history.
Today, visitors can walk along the cobblestone streets of Harpers Ferry and experience the town’s preserved architecture, learning about its history through guided tours and National Park Service exhibits. These buildings stand as a testament to the resilience of the community and its dedication to preserving the stories that shaped the nation.
Whether you’re a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or simply a curious traveler, Stonebraker’s Bakery and the Fancy Goods storefront offer a window into Harpers Ferry’s vibrant past. Their carefully maintained façades and interpretive displays invite you to imagine the sounds of bustling trade, the aroma of baking bread, and the excitement of small-town commerce that once defined this remarkable corner of West Virginia.

Dawn light over the snow covered peak of Mount Kazbek (5,054 m/16,581 ft), the seventh-highest summit in the Caucasus Mountains, with Gergeti Trinity Church in foreground, in Stepantsminda, Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of Georgia.
Mount Kazbegi is a dormant stratovolcano and the highest peak of Eastern Georgia. It is located on the border of Georgia and Russia.
The Gergeti Trinity Church is a Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church built in the 14th century. The separate belltower dates from the same period as the church itself. Its isolated location on top of a steep mountain surrounded by the vastness of nature has made it a symbol for Georgia.
