Finally some clearer skies and a gentle breeze instead of clouds and fierce wind.

 

The theme of the sunset tonight was sunbeams. These images were captured about 20 minutes before sunset and I'm glad I grabbed these since distant clouds obscured the actual sunset. The tidal pools in the foreground usually aren't there but the intense winds over the last couple of days made the usually tranquil Gulf into a turbulent sea with higher than normal tides.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.

Just a typical postcard shot, one of those pictures that's nothing special, but you just got to have it. Unfortunately the cloud covered Mt. Fuji during the 15 minutes allotted time slot at this look out point.

Who loves snail mail?? I do! Happy Sunday folks! :)

Ainda me perguntam porque eu quis vir pra cá trabalhar, foto da sessão pra um trabalho.

 

"Quando o sol se põe

Vem o farol

Iluminar as águas da Bahia

No Farol da Barra, o encontro é pouco

A conversa é curta, tudo é tão rápido como

se furta

Como a luz bate nas águas

Como tudo que se passa

Com tanto cabeludo, com tanto pôr-do-sol

Bem cabia uma profecia: até o ano 2000,

O Farol além do pôr-do-sol

será o pôr-do-som

Onde verás uma realejo, onde verás um violão"

MALIGNE LAKE

48 km. (28.8 mi.) S.E. of Jasper townsite

Located in the majestic Maligne Valley, this exquisite lake is the second largest glacier-fed lake in the world, stretching 22 km. (14 mi.). A one-and-a-half hour boat cruise will take you past glacier-studded mountain peaks to world-famous Spirit Island

This truly unique and most charming Grade II listed cottage stands in possibly the most idyllic and desirable location on the Northumberland coast. Set in a superb and secluded position on the cliff edge with a sandy cove below, it commands panoramic coastal views from every window. The majestic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle can be seen in the north, whilst to the south there are distant views of Coquet Island. The coastline in this region is characterised by a mixture of rocky inlets and lovely sandy beaches with attractive walks along the cliff tops. A 14 mile coastal footpath between Beadnell and Alnmouth passes nearby providing the opportunity of walking through some of the most outstanding coastal scenery in the country, this part of the Heritage Coast is designated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" as well as being a "Site of Special Scientific Interest". The Coast and Castles cycle route passes nearby. The Bathing House is approached by a 400 metre private track and is ideal for a family holiday or for those seeking a secluded, romantic coastal location. It was built in the early 19th century by the 2nd Earl Grey who was the Prime Minister responsible for the passing of the Great Reform Bill of 1832 and whose monument stands at the top of Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. He had 16 children and the house was built specifically for the family to go bathing.

Piccadilly Circus post card from early 1950's.

I found this post card in a box of old photos and ephemera.

It seems there were more than 51 Tuckers made and 3 of them ended up in Elgin Park!

I'll keep you posted on this developing story.

The tuna auction at the tsukiji market is generally off limits for the public, when no one was watching, I stole a few shots (and was of course thrown out later), but it was so worth it, including the getting up at 4 am business... and for those of you who know me, that's a VERY BIG deal!

Once again, my favorite tree. It was taken on a beautiful sunny day. The sky was blue, and the air was crisp. I thought I'd like to remember my tree on that moment. But my memory, with time, will probably look much like this.

I used to live down the street from here. And part of it was chasing 5 Fulton (bus that goes downtown) to go to work. Hmmm, I wonder why the memory of chasing the bus sticks out. I could think of better and happier memories but I love the Bus chasing memory best. LOL

I don't often see chickens, but this little honey was running around a local barn. I popped on five textures. Four from skeletal mess and I can remember where I got that post card texture. I downloaded it years ago...

....little man was not feeling well....but because of the excitment - people around him - he wants to come out and play....

 

Baby King for now Mikx -

My second fabric post card I have ever done. My first was earlier today. It was fun, but need to work on my sewing skills. I do like the raw edge I left on the edges, it gives it more texture. I like texture and color.

I shot this photo when I was coming home this morning just for you!

What are words worth?

What are words worth? - words

 

Words in papers, words in books

Words on tv, words for crooks

Words of comfort, words of peace

Words to make the fighting cease

Words to tell you what to do

Words are working hard for you

Eat your words but dont go hungry

Words have always nearly hung me

 

What are words worth?

What are words worth? - words

 

Words of nuance, words of skill

And words of romance are a thrill

Words are stupid, words are fun

Words can put you on the run

Left: Post card showing the Portland Hotel in Long Beach, Washingon. Right: Entries in the Portland Hotel's guest register for July 18 and 19, 1905, or 117 years ago.

 

Note the locomotive in the lower left corner of the post card. A railroad served many beach communities on the North Beach Peninsula (now the Long Beach Peninsula) between 1889 and 1930. It picked up holiday goers at the sternwheeler dock on the Columbia River at the southern end of the line.

The Portland Hotel ca. 1900-1914

Eugene Hanneman, Proprietor

Capacity 100 Guests, European Plan, 7 5¢ - $2. per day

Amenities Included: Electric Lighted, Dining Room in

Connection

 

The Portland hotel operated by Eugene Hanneman was located two blocks north of the Long Beach depot towards the ocean. The hotel was noted for its turret on the north end of the building. The Portland was one of the finer hotels in Long Beach containing 50 rooms. It had a saloon and bowling alley, and was renowned for its fine dining and entertainment by musicians and singers. It acted as an agency of Weinhard's Bottled Beer, which could be delivered to families.

 

A look at the hotel's register shows that folks came from near and far to stay in this unique hotel. These pages alone show people from Evansville, Indiana; Kansas City, Missouri; Litchfield, Minnesota; Seattle, and Portland.

 

The Portland operated on the European Plan in which guests pay a set price per day for lodging and service only, meals being taken a la carte at the hotel restaurant or wherever the guest may choose. This was distinguished from the American plan in which the price charged to

guests covers room, service, and meals.

 

In 1912, Dr. W.G. Nace of Portland opened a modern cafeteria and delicatessen in what had been the dining room of the Portland.

 

On December 4, 1914, the Portland Hotel along with much of its contents, burned to the ground. It was thought the fire originated from the kitchen range. It was never rebuilt. The following year Eugene and Katherine Hanneman built a private house a bit further north on their property, where they lived out their lives.

Grand Hotels of the North Beach Peninsula April – July 2022

April 9 @ 10:00 am - July 9 @ 4:00 pm PDT

  

The Breakers Hotel

 

During the late nineteenth and early part of the twentieth century, the vacation resort industry began on the North Beach Peninsula. Fueled by a burgeoning upper/middle class in Portland and the relative ease of river transportation on steam ships like the T.J. Potter and Hassalo, resorts began to pop up both big and small. The Sea View House, Hackney Cottage, Shelburne, Portland, Breakers, Driftwood and Long Beach Hotels were among the larger and best-known summer resorts for the Portland elite. The social pages of the Oregon Journal were filled with reports of well-known Portland families as they took in the amenities of beach life.

 

The Grand Hotels of the North Beach Peninsula is a special exhibition on view from April 9th to July 9th at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco. The exhibition highlights nine hotels and explores the pastimes of the summer tourist. From arrival at the dock in Ilwaco, or later Megler, visitors would either board the local narrow-gauge railroad or be met at the docks by horse and carriage to travel up the peninsula to their summer home away from home. The Breakers Hotel north of Long Beach was the finest and most extensive property on the Peninsula. From there guests would explore all that the beach had to offer, from surf bathing to shipwrecks to lifesaving and even occasional excursions to view wildlife both dead and alive.

 

A special loan of an 1890’s Roof Seat Break carriage from the Northwest Carriage Museum in Raymond is a highlight of the show and is the perfect accompaniment to the Museum’s 1889 Pullman-built railcar NAHCOTTA that carried passengers along the narrow-gauge rail from 1889 until 1930. The Roof Seat Break was built by the Chicago Coach & Carriage Company. It was used as a pleasure or hunting wagon. This vehicle would carry up to four people into town, on country drives or hunting trips. The exhibition also features vintage photographs, objects, and costumes of the era.
