This was the home of Michael Derek Elworthy Jarman. 31st January 1942 to 19th February 1994.
He was an English film director, stage designer, diarist, artist, gardener and author.
On 22nd December 1986 he was diagnosed as HIV positive. His illness prompted him to move to Prospect Cottage. Here he created his famous garden using the plants that naturally grew at Dungeness.
In 1994 he died of an AIDS related illness in London aged just 52.
There is a poem on the side of the cottage which is the first stanza and the last five lines of the last stanza of John Donne's poem The Rising Sun.
THE SUN RISING.
by John Donne
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.

The combination of morphological and topographic information from stereo images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, as well as compositional data from near-infrared spectroscopy has been proven to be a powerful tool for understanding the geology of Mars.
Beginning with the OMEGA instrument on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter in 2003, the surface of Mars has been examined at near-infrared wavelengths by imaging spectrometers that are capable of detecting specific minerals and mapping their spatial extent. The CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars) instrument on our orbiter is a visible/near-infrared imaging spectrometer, and the HiRISE camera works together with it to document the appearance of mineral deposits detected by this orbital prospecting.
Mawrth Vallis is one of the regions on Mars that has attracted much attention because of the nature and diversity of the minerals identified by these spectrometers. It is a large, ancient outflow channel on the margin of the Southern highlands and Northern lowlands. Both the OMEGA and CRISM instruments have detected clay minerals here that must have been deposited in a water-rich environment, probably more than 4 billion years ago. For this reason, Mawrth Vallis is one of the two candidate landing sites for the future Mars Express Rover Mission planned by the European Space Agency.
This image was targeted on a location where the CRISM instrument detected a specific mineral called alunite, KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6. Alunite is a hydrated aluminum potassium sulfate, a mineral that is notable because it must have been deposited in a wet acidic environment, rich in sulfuric acid. Our image shows that the deposit is bright and colorful, and extensively fractured. The width of the cutout is 1.2 kilometers.

Prospect Bridge, crossing the Rogue River at Prospect, Oregon. Built in 1930, rehabilitated in 2012. A lovely spot just 25 miles southwest of Crater Lake National Park.

This was shot from the switchback road we were driving in Prospect Gulch. You can see part of the road on the left.
Now, I have to tell you, that this road got tighter and the ledges got higher. Don is an experienced driver, and I have traveled many miles with him, but I must admit I even got a little nervous on this road. I guess I'm a control freak. We finally started up a part that didn't look like it was going to be passable, so he backed up to small turnaround area with huge drop offs. Now that is fun. NOT! So we walked up the road about 100 feet and it stopped.
So this has great views. Why wouldn't it, the tree line was several thousand of feet below us with nothing in between. Wished we had a little better sky. Tell you one thing, wouldn't enjoy meeting someone on the road.

(Explored -Thank you, that means so much!) This was this morning! 12-9-08. My hubby left for work, but came back in to tell me, there were Sandhill Cranes in the lot next to our house. I thought it was the pair I had seen before, but my heart sang when I saw Classic, Cherry and their grown offspring, Zero and Dasani.
I felt blessed that "my" Sandhill family from my workplace was in the empty lot next door to our house. I thought I was dreaming. They were rather evasive today, which is unusual. Perhaps they did not recognize me in this place. Also, I noticed that Classic and Cherry were beginning to dance. This is a shot of them. Zero and Dasani were intermittently jumping up and down imitating them and playing.
I know, I express so often, my love of these cranes. I wish that you could feel the joy that I experience when I am blessed to spend time with them. I try to capture that feeling and their essence.
I am hoping to go to the Platte River migration in April in Nebraska. www.rowesanctuary.org/ We'll see! I would need a really serious lens, at least 400mm. Holy Donuts!!! I wonder if you can rent something like that. If anyone has any thrifty ideas around that prospect, I would be very grateful. Even if I can't find a mack daddy lens, I may do it...just the experience would be a lifetime moment, freezing your keester off in a bird blind in the bitter cold all night! Doesn't that sound enticing?? Well, it does to me!! What did they call it back in the day...a patron!! I need a patron to sponsor my artiistic obsession. LOL!!
You know what? Even if I trek up there in my Sentra, and still only have the lens I have, I'm going for it!! It's not all about the equipment. It's about heart, right?! And honestly, even if I was only taking GREAT pictures with my mind and my heart...I would be in heaven.
Oops!! Oversharing alert!! Thanks for viewing and for your indulgence in my dream sharing! I'm a total nerd! =o) For more information on these and other cranes, you can also visit www.savingcranes.org.
