Designed in 1838 by Alexander Jackson Davis, this house has been owned by New York City mayor William Paulding, Jr., merchant George Merritt, and railroad tycoon Jay Gould. In 1961, Gould's daughter Anna Gould donated it to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is now open to the public for tours.
The house was first named "Knoll", although critics quickly dubbed it "Paulding's Folly" because of its unusual design that includes fanciful turrets and asymmetrical outline. Its limestone exterior was quarried at Sing Sing (now known as Ossining). The second owner, Merritt, doubled the house's size in 1864–65 and renamed it "Lyndenhurst" for the estate's linden trees. His new north wing added an imposing four-story tower, new porte-cochere (the old one was reworked as a glass-walled vestibule) and a new dining room, two bedrooms, and servants' quarters. Gould purchased the property in 1880 for use as a country house, shortened its name to "Lyndhurst" and occupied it until his death in 1892.
Unlike later mansions along the Hudson River, Lyndhurst's rooms are few and of a more modest scale, and strongly Gothic in character. Hallways are narrow, windows small and sharply arched, and ceilings are fantastically peaked, vaulted, and ornamented. The effect is at once gloomy, somber, and highly romantic; the large, double-height art gallery provides a contrast of light and space.
The house sits within a park, designed in the English naturalistic style by Ferdinand Mangold, whom Merritt hired. He drained the surrounding swamps, created lawns, planted specimen trees, and built the conservatory. The resultant landscape was the first such park along the Hudson River. It provides an outstanding example of 19th-century landscape design, with rolling lawns accented with shrubs and specimen trees, a curving entrance drive that reveals "surprise" views, and a remarkably large [390-foot-long (120 m)] steel-framed conservatory (the first in the United States). This house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. It was the set for the 1970 movie "House of Dark Shadows", and the 1971 movie "Night of Dark Shadows", both based on the famous gothic soap opera Dark Shadows.

Lower Bond Falls is a pretty high and wide falls, for Michigan anyway. It was extremely slick all around this side of the falls; I made note to shoot from this POV because of the footbridge I wanted to include, that is hidden by the trees in summer. Bond Falls is a remote waterfall surrounded by the Ottawa National Forest.

The Paulding County Courthouse is a historic governmental building in downtown Paulding, Ohio, United States. A Richardsonian Romanesque building erected in 1886, it is the third courthouse to serve the residents of Paulding County.
When Paulding County was established in 1820, the small community of Charloe was named the county seat. This arrangement proved to be short-lived: the older community of Paulding grew significantly while Charloe stagnated, and the county seat was eventually moved to the larger village. Once Paulding had been named the county seat, the county's second courthouse was erected on the village's central square in 1837. After approximately fifty years of service, this frame structure was demolished, and the present structure was built on the same location in 1886.
Designed by the E.O. Fallis Company and built by workers under the direction of general contractor Rudolph Ehrhart, the courthouse is a brick structure with a stone foundation and a roof of asphalt. Two-and-one-half stories tall with a central tower, the courthouse features nearly identical entrances on each of its four sides. Measuring 60 feet square, and 163 feet tall at the tip of its domed tower, the courthouse was patterned after the Lenawee County Courthouse in Michigan, which was also designed by the Fallis architects.
In 1974, the Paulding County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its well-preserved architecture that was deemed significant statewide. It is one of four buildings in Paulding County on the Register, along with a rural round barn, a former train station in the village of Antwerp, and the Carnegie library in Paulding.
Bond Falls is a Cascade waterfall on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River, a few miles east of Paulding in southern Ontonagon County in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The total drop of the falls is about 50 feet. Print Size 13x19 inches.
Fluorite from Ohio, USA.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6100 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The halides are the "salt minerals", and have one or more of the following anions: Cl-, F-, I-, Br-.
Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral (CaF2). The most diagnostic physical property of fluorite is its hardness (H≡4). Fluorite typically forms cubic crystals and, when broken, displays four cleavage planes (also quite diagnostic). When broken under controlled conditions, the broken pieces of fluorite form double pyramids. Fluorite is a good example of a mineral that can be any color. Common fluorite colors include clear, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and brown. The stereotypical color for fluorite is purple. Purple is the color fluorite "should be". A mineral collector doesn't have fluorite unless it's a purple fluorite (!).
Fluorite occurs in association with some active volcanoes. HF emitted from volcanoes can react with Ca-bearing rocks to form fluorite crystals. Many hydrothermal veins contain fluorite. Much fluorite also occurs in the southern Illinois area (Mississippi Valley-type deposits).
Geologic context: vug-filling fluorite crystals in carbonate rock of the Detroit River Group or Dundee Limestone (Lower to Middle Devonian)
Locality: Stoneco Incorporated's Auglaize Quarry, southwest of the town of Junction, northeastern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA

Bond Falls is in the western Upper Peninsula off of Bond Falls Road, east of the Ontonagon County village of Paulding, Michigan. It is created as the middle branch of the Ontonagon River tumbles over a thick belt of fractured rock, dividing it into numerous small cascades. The total drop of the falls is 50 feet. Above the main falls are a series of cascades and rapids that drop a total of 20 feet. The water level is controlled by a nearby dam, and a steady flow over the falls is maintained for scenic reasons. Of course during the spring snow melt the flow is much higher. I’ve been to Bond Falls many times, but this is the first time I visited in the fall.

So, I happened to have some surprise time off work, so my daughter and I took a drive down US-127 for the weekend. Of course, the weather went to hell on me about 3 hours into the trip, but in Paulding, OH we spotted this showplace of a motel. Obviously much effort was put into this sign. Well, if you consider "effort" going to the store to get some stick-on letters and a can of white spray paint. I have a feeling it was the cheapest paint they sold too.

While the large drop of the main part of Bond Falls commands the most attention, there are so many smaller details of incredible beauty to explore. Ice and snow along the edges of one of the upper spillways provides contrasts in textures and colors. Paulding, Upper Michigan 2/27/2021
Paulding, Mich. A photographers dream, Bond Falls and surrounding area. It would take days of different light and seasons to capture the awesome beauty of the water at this Falls. I was attracted to the golden hues of the clear water at this light.
