We went for the candlelight which was to occur later (see Comments), but this early photo with the sunset behind is okay too. But we should try to remember not to leave footprints next time. :)

Designed and constructed over a thirty year period (1865 - 1895) by Frederick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux, the masterminds behind Central Park, Prospect Park has blossomed into a premier destination for Brooklyn visitors and resident alike.
Widely known for its intricate manmade watercourse (wetlands) and its trees, the bulk of Brooklyn's remaining indigenous forest, the park is highly functional green space. Contained within its 526 acres are zoo, the first urban-area Audubon Center in the nation, an ice rink, a band shell, a carousel, and dozens of athletic and recreational facilities.

This is the cottage and garden of the film director, Derek Jarman who died in 1994. He made a garden on the shingle at Dungeness - a very bleak place with the backdrop of the power station there - and it is beautifully detailed and was obviously created with love.
Derek Jarman Added the first stanza & last five lines of John Donne's Poem 'The Sun Rising' to the wall of his cottage. It reads;
Busie old foole, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers’ seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world’s contracted thus;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that’s done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy centre is, these walls thy sphere.
I took this shot with my old Kodak point and shoot camera (long before I use dslr). This image reminds me that I was always a sucker for photography.
And also reminds most of us that you don't need to spend thousands to get a good sharp photo.

There was a grand re-opening at Prospect Hill Tower the other day - it was a great event and I was thrilled to get up to the top and see the view! Also had a great time meeting neighbors, Somerville city employees, historical society members, and other photographers!
Now I know you all recognise this place! This is one from a new series of images I took recently there. For more of this gorgeous place visit my Prospect and Terence Bay Set:

Took this while leaving the village and heading towards the location for the hike I was going on.
The small community of Prospect on the atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Most of the homes in the village have remained in the same families for generations.
There are no churches in Prospect since the closing of "Our Lady of Mt. Camel" which is now up for sale.
So many churches are being sold in all the communities, even in the cities. Maybe a project would be to make a book of them before they are gone - just a thought.
The wooden buildings of the small village of Prospect, Halifax County reflect in the calm waters of the bay.
Also, this marks my 100th photo on Flickr Explore.

Green heron - - - - - - ( Butorides virescens.)
A small, stocky wading bird, the Green Heron is common in wet spots across much of North America. It can be difficult to see as it stands motionless waiting for small fish to approach within striking range, but it frequently announces its presence by its loud squawking
The Green Heron is part of a complex of small herons that sometimes are considered one species. When lumped, they are called Green-backed Heron. When split, they are the Green Heron, the widespread Striated Heron, and the Galapagos Heron.

Always a favourite haunt of mine since I first visited Nova Scotia back in 2005. I haven't attempted an overview shot of it since then actually and I am pretty pleased with the result this time around.
First day of February; a blizzard had come through, but we were less impacted than other parts pf the country.
Prospect Cottage is a house on the coast in Dungeness, Kent. Originally a Victorian fisherman's hut, the house was purchased by director and artist Derek Jarman in 1986, and was his home until his death in 1994
Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices ;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world's contracted thus ;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere
This poem by John Donne is engraved on the end of the house and always brings a smile to my face when I see it and sit and read it
The streamlined dream like clinker built oak of The Skidbladner calls out to those that can pack their sea chest as a seat from which to person the oars on an imaginary journey and hopefully the visitors will have notions of goods in their sea chest to trade and room there also to bring back their hard won treasures? This now land bound longboat affords a great prospect to experience Viking visions. The replica of the archaeological recovered Gokstad ship now sits next to a reproduction longhouse and both have room enough to house your imagination and also to inspire your dreams.

After the tedious more than strenuous hike on day three, we thought we would stick to sightseeing around Lake George where we stayed two nights. We took a two hour boat tour of the lake on a very classic boat built in 1902, and saw countless mansions big and small. That done, we drove up to Ticonderoga along the lake to take in those views. We finished the day by driving up Prospect Mountain, and got some interesting views of the tour boats in the village of Lake George below.
