Our local star sets into the Gulf of Mexico and another spectacular day on Anna Maria Island comes to an end.
Anna Maria Island | Florida | Gulf of Mexico
Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
This image was taken just west of Long Lake in the Adirondacks. It was a awesome afternoon for photography. It was just my wife and I driving from place to place taking photo's on our way up to Lake Placid. The best part of the whole trip was most of the day while driving around is that there was no cell service, So that left alot of time for just my wife and I to chat it up about everything. It also allowed me to teach my my wife how to use the app's on my old iphone. She was never really into photography much, That all changed once I gave her my old Iphone. Normally I hate not having cell service but that weekend I didnt mind not having signal. We did have enough signal at the hotels so we could check our E-mails and things but that was about it.
This is the tale of two fishermen (even though one of them is a bird). I really liked the the story telling that shots like this evoke. Neither of the fishermen caught anything but the human fisher dude did throw pieces of cut up bait fish to the fisher bird-dude.
I promise that these shots are the last of my sunset shots until November 1st. I have lots of non-sunset pictures to process and will be putting those up in the future. Thanks for coming along and enjoying the views!

On back of post card: On ht summer days this pool is popular with parents and members of Anaheim's younger set as well as visitors from Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Garden Grove and other Orange County communities.
I spent many summer days at Pearson Park and took swimming lessons, two sessions that did not help my fear of the deep water. I later taught myself to swim.
I can well recall the pool being about as crowded as this on hot summer afternoons.

Matt Denton says:
"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

London Post card from 1969 which depicts London transport's RM1737, LT's first all over advert bus which advertised Silexine Paints with scenes of the Capital painted all over the bus. This bus now resides in the London transport museum in Covent Garden although it is a different body and running units due to LT's overhaul system. (Cropped)
The Tupelo Motel- the main building seems to have had more of a sense of design than the shed-like motel structures, though earlier views indicate that the rooms were in cottage like structures which were probably joined together before this picture was taken. As noted in the comments below, the motel has been replaced by a Walgreen's.

The first passenger train to arrive in Klamath Falls, on May 20, 1909, was pulled by a Southern Pacific locomotive festooned with patriotic banners. The city had longed for a railroad for many years, knowing it would change the fortunes of many. The steamer Klamath carried a load of passengers to the landing at Ady, where they boarded the train for a ceremonial first ride into town.
