Miss Lucy and Miss Lizzie, were schoolmarms in Cades Cove in the second half of the 1800s. They were daughters of Colonel Hamp Tipton, a veteran of the revolutionary war, who shortly after the Civil War, built this two story home. The Smoky Mountain homestead he built, eventually included a smokehouse, a woodshed, corn crib, blacksmith shop, cantilever barn, and an apiary for bees. Tipton sold land to and hence was surrounded by many of his family and friends. A few of those include Joshua Job, Jacob and Isaac Tipton, Thomas Jones.
In 1878, their house was rented to James McCaulley, who was trying to settle in the cove. McCaulley was a welcome newcommer to Cades Cove as he was a blacksmith. In time, McCaulley built his own home along with top quality blacksmith and carpentry shops. McCaulley was a trusted blacksmith, carpenter and coffin maker, working in Cades Cove for a quarter of a century.
Across the road from the Tipton house is a Cantilever barn, once a common site in the Smokies. It is a replica of the barn which was there in the 1800’s.
One shot from my walk around Dartmoor today. I've not been down this spot before, those familiar with Dartmoor will probably have been around this area though. I had a lovely time, Walking from the car park on the main road to Princetown, up to Leeden Tor then across to Swelltor Quarry and Kings Tor, I'd noticed this area on Monday evening and didn't really have time to go and explore it.
Swelltor Quarry is one of a whole group of quarries located near Princetown and Tavistock in west Devon that includes Foggintor, Kings Tor, Crip Tor and Merrivale and a quarry near to the prison in Princetown. Granite from Dartmoor was used in many places. Near to the Swell Tor quarry there are still twelve corbels carved for (the old) London Bridge for the purposes of widening in 1902. There are also the remains of the blacksmith's workshop and traces of the railway.
Swell Tor was one of the larger quarries in the area and was operational until the early 20th century. Stone from it was used for the Thames Embankment (1846-47), Alexander Binnie's new bridge at Vauxhall in London (1903) and the Bristol Waterworks (1902). Although employing up to 90 men before the First World War it closed in the 1920s. It briefly re-opened in 1937, but after 1938 it has not seen any major workings.
I have no idea about this bridge though, it passes over a main cycle/walking path and leads in to private property albeit with a public footpath though it.
Posting this a bit super quick as I was only there this morning.
I have just spent a week in the Lake District being totally rained on. I do have one or two photos to post but it wasn't the best, it was just a massive recce really!
So I was very happy to be here this morning amidst some epic Autumn conditions.
De Place Masséna is een bouwproject uit de jaren 1830, toen Nizza niet tot Frankrijk behoorde. Bij de komst van de tram in 2007 is het plein geheel opnieuw ingericht. De menselijke figuren in boeddhahouding op hun hoge masten, 's avonds van binnenuit verlicht, zijn een werk van de Barcelonese kunstenaar Jaume Plensa.
De Place Masséna was het centrale knooppunt van het vroegere tramnet in Nice dat bestond tussen 1878 en 1953. De elektrische trams betrokken hun spanning in het centrum van ondergrondse stroomrails, opdat het jaarlijkse carnaval ongehinderd kon passeren. L'histoire se répète: ook de tegenwoordige trams doen het hier zonder bovenleiding. Zij overbruggen dit traject met behulp van accu's
Place Masséna is a building project from the 1830s, when Nizza was not part of France. The place was thoroughly renovated when the new tram line was built, opened in 2007. The buddha-esque human figures on their high poles, lit from inside at night, are a work of the Barcelonese artist Jaume Plensa.
Place Masséna was the central hub in Nice's former tramway network, existing from 1878 to 1953. Power supply for the electric trams was in the centre by conduit instead of overhead wires, to allow enough space to the yearly carnival parade. History repeats itself: contemporary trams also do without overhead wires at this place. Now they run on batteries here

Another angle from this special day long ago.
The Alaska Railroad "snow fleet" work train is arriving at Spencer with a Jordan Spreader, two geeps, and the ARR's sole depressed center flat car carrying a big Caterpillar excavator. Spencer is not accessible by road so all the ARR's heavy equipment must be transported in by company work train. Here the train is crossing over the glacier fed Placer River at MP 54 in the heart of the Chugach National Forrest. From John Comb's Alaskarails.org site:
Spreader 7 is known as the "winter spreader" and was built in the early 70s to replace spreader #5. Number 7 has a full length house along deck which makes it top heavy, so it rocks and rolls at critical speeds. After a roll-over derailment with the 3008 and the 1805 at MP 139 around 1994, it was rebuilt with four window cab sides from a GP40 and a propane heater replacing the oil fired stove which requires four tanks to be mounted on the sides.
The work train crew is heading south up toward the site of the massive slide near MP49 in the famous "loop district" that buried a northbound freight out of Seward nearly a week prior. The excavator with the custom designed snow bucket is on its way to continue the arduous task of extracting flat cars from a tomb of snow.

The famous lunch Hut in the Upper Cabrach nestled on the side of the hill. Although I have photographed this place lots of times this is my first image of the hut since it was recently repaired after vandals significantly damaged it.
Another image in my special series on the Seaside Tide Pools. Some folks make the crossing of the pools slow and steady; others not so much.
The Sutton Place Hotel, located in the centre of Vancouver, was completed in 1985 and is 67 metres tall.
Sirince as a former Greek village. In the 19th century, the famous fig production, was one Greek town. Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923 with the departure of the results of the Greeks, were settled by emigrants from Kavalav to Somokol village. The famous wine-producing village. Say hi to me to Anatolia.
Greek writer Dido Sotiriyu, who was born in 1909 in Sirince Village of Izmir,
Say hi to me to Anatolia.
He describes the lands where he was born and grew up with the words "If there is a place called paradise on this earth, our Kirkinca (Sirince) must be a part of that paradise".

Week 3: My Happy Place (Jan 15th- 21st)
----------------------------------------------------------
This week's theme "My Happy Place" wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. Weather and travel restrictions presented problems, so I went to my creative "happy" place.
My happy "places" are many, and the beach is at the top of the list. So I chose three photos from three different beach places and combined them. The clouds are from Vero Beach in Florida, the waves are from Kure Beach in North Carolina and the sandy beach is from Westerly, Rhode Island. Could have squeezed in Cape Cod, since that is a place full of happy as well.
However, in serious retrospect, my true happy place is anywhere I am as long as I am behind the lens, so I can capture and preserve the places and events that I encounter everyday. This past year has been a challenge, but I am not discouraged, meaning I hope and pray everyday for the best.
