51 Mountain Street
Ball House
The original stone portion of this house has a two-storey, five bay aspect facing the driveway. The main facade is of split face ashlar coursing with cut stone quoins. The sidewalls are of a more random coursing and all stone is chiefly local. All the windows have solid stone sills; some with solid stone lintels and others with a flat arch of the same local stone. The land on which the building is located was originally a Crown Grant to George Ball in 1796. The property was sold to the Public Works Department in 1843 and was then turned over to the Welland Canal Loan Company. During this period, the building was used as the home of the lockmaster, overseeing the work of 17 locktenders.

Drove down to the Historic Carl Sandberg Property on Saturday morning and walked around Side Lake. It was gently raining and the colors were amazing. The Carl Sandburg National Historic Site is located near Hendersonville in the village of Flat Rock, North Carolina, and was the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and writer Carl Sandburg. The 264-acre site includes the Sandburg residence, the goat farm, rolling pastures, mountainside woods, 5 miles of hiking trails and two small lakes.

However, the bike is not hers, but a ‘’shared bike‘’,which is from the Bike-sharing business. She uses it to transport her belongings, angrily hostile to his surrounding and scursing angrily into the air. No one knows exactly what she had encountered.
I've only been down to the edge of Crater Lake once, but it was an unforgettable experience. This was taken with my Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera, a couple of years ago. I've forgotten the exactly month and year... these memories of Oregon are becoming so plentiful that they tend to run together.
At long last, made it to this infamous location on the NC500 route with that red roof - simply a matter of driving around the road far enough, something I've never done before. I would like to think that the owner of this property is having a bit of a laugh at all the tourists wanting its photograph and he has attached a ladder to the roof!

Palladianism was an approach to architecture strongly influenced by the sixteenth century architect Andrea Palladio. Characterised by Classical forms, symmetry, and strict proportion, the exteriors of Palladian buildings were often austere. Inside, however, elaborate decoration, gilding and ornamentation created a lavish, opulent environment.
Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) was a Venetian architect, responsible for a series of churches in Venice, public buildings, villas and much more.
Seeking to revive the principles which underpinned ancient Roman architecture, he stressed the importance of proportion, symmetry, and the correct use of the Classical orders.
His influence was magnified by a series of important publications, not least his Four Books of Architecture.
Palladio’s vision was brought to England in the early seventeenth century. A key figure in this process was the architect Inigo Jones (1573-1652), who made several trips to Italy, acquired a copy of the Four Books of Architecture, and collected original drawings by Palladio.
In the 1710s, a generation of architects began to revive what they saw as the purity of Palladio’s vision – a process aided by the first complete translation of the Four Books of Architecture into English from 1716.
James Gibbs started work on this Palladian bridge in 1737, which crosses the far end of the Octagon Lake at Stowe, linking two sides of the Hawkwell Fields. The bridge is based on a similar one built at Wilton House in Wiltshire a year earlier. The bridge at Stowe was adapted to be lower and wider, allowing for carriages to cross on tours of the gardens. The bridge would later form the Path of Liberty, the longest walk through the gardens which also takes in most of the additions from Gibbs.

Davey House
45922 Sparta Line, Sparta
The Davey House was constructed at some point between 1845 and 1855. The simplicity of the building epitomizes the Provincial Greek Revival style in which it was built. It also has pilastered doorways with entablatures, and a solid frieze, similar to other houses in Sparta that date back to the 1850s. The property on which the Davey House sits was originally deeded by the Crown to the Honourable James Baby. Baby sold the property to the Jonathan Doan in 1813, who then sold it to his son, Israel Doan in 1843. Wade and Vera Davey purchased the house in 1990 and have made considerable effort to restore it.

Turn up the music
Let's get out on the floor
I'll let it move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical and out of control
There's people watching me
I never miss a beat
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cos it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cos it feels like a overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground
My body's aching
System overload
Temperature's rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated
Taking the show
It got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show. -- Andrew Wyeth
It's a bit drafty and the mosquitoes are bad during the summer but the view is breathtaking. There were many interesting things to photograph on this property just North of Elk Island National Park.

The Fossdyke Canal close to the Pyewipe Inn in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The Fossdyke Canal is generally considered to have been constructed during the Roman period, but there is a case for an early medieval date. It connects Lincoln and the Witham to the Trent. Its cutting would have involved the straightening and rerouting of the River Till. A 2005 borehole suggested that the River Till may have become redundant before the 12th century, but no firm date.
The first documented work on the Fossdyke was when it was deepened in 1121. It was Crown property until James II presented it to the city of Lincoln by an act of 1671. There were frequent problems of flooding and silting but its use increased after improvements were made by Richard Ellison to whom it was leased in 1741, and son Richard after 1743.
It was deepened in the early 19th century and in 1840. The Fossdyke was used at this time for the transport to Lincoln of coal, lime, cotton, linen and woollen goods, timber, and pottery etc. and for the moving to the towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire of cattle, wool, wheat, barley and flour. Craft were sailing barges, horse-drawn and steam packets. The GNR took over the lease in 1846.
Commercial water transport gradually declined with increasing competition from railways but survived longer on the Fossdyke than on Witham. Barkers and Lee Smith were last Lincoln users of river barges, and the last water transport company was Furleys of Gainsborough in 1972.

Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis), is also known as the crab-eating Macaque.
When we came across this macaque, she already had the orange peel. Probably discarded by someone treking the trail. Even though it was only the peel, she became overly possesive about keeping it. She was quite worried that I would steal it from her. She still was carrying it around 30 minutes later.

'Mystical Spanish Skyline' - ['Sometimes The World Is Blue' ..]
Late one very hot afternoon in 'La Cala' near Benidorm, Spain.. if you strongly hides the sun by the sparkle in the water.. when you fly with a helicopter low over the water.. you see between the sea and the mountains a silhouette, a wall of skycrapers. It looks as the world only would have one color..slate blue.. it´s so mystical.. almost like a ghost town.. perhaps I had for some strange reason a bad dream only.. perhaps.. ;-)

Notice: This shot was made with an old, little Canon Ixus.
'Have a great summer weekend my friends! ;-)

I managed to take a quick walk on the golf course today while it was still sunny. Later it clouded up and started to rain. I don't play golf and have no intention to ever do it but I like the golf course because I think it's beautiful. The sign basically says that the place is private property (as it belongs to the local golf club) but that you are allowed to use the public paths which lead across the golf couse, as long as you don't step on the fairway and keep your dog on lead. It also says that if you cross the golf course you do it at your own risk, which means that if you are hit by a golf ball it's your own fault and not theirs. :)
With recent events at Kingsbury, here's a view in happier times!

In 2010, Miami ranked seventh in the United States in terms of finance, commerce, culture, entertainment, fashion, education, and other sectors. It ranked 33rd among global cities. In 2008, Forbes magazine ranked Miami "America's Cleanest City", for its year-round good air quality, vast green spaces, clean drinking water, clean streets, and citywide recycling programs.
According to a 2009 UBS study of 73 world cities, Miami was ranked as the richest city in the United States, and the world's fifth-richest city in terms of purchasing power. Miami is nicknamed the "Capital of Latin America" and is the largest city with a Cuban-American plurality.
Miami has the third tallest skyline in the U.S. with over 300 high-rises. Downtown Miami is home to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States, and many large national and international companies. The Civic Center is a major center for hospitals, research institutes, medical centers, and biotechnology industries.
For more than two decades, the Port of Miami, known as the "Cruise Capital of the World", has been the number one cruise passenger port in the world. It accommodates some of the world's largest cruise ships and operations and is the busiest port in both passenger traffic and cruise lines.
Metropolitan Miami is the major tourism hub in the American South, number two in the U.S. after New York City and number 13 in the world, including the popular destination of Miami Beach.

A classically styled toll-house in Moretonhampstead complete with toll-board. Recorded as the 'Eastern Turnpike House' in the town in the Census returns of 1841 (Jenkinson and Taylor 2009).
Roads were improved everywhere during the 1700s, partly because of greater efforts by the parishes responsible but mainly because of the formation of "Turnpike Trusts". These were authorised by Acts of Parliament and could charge tolls for the building and upkeep of roads in their care. Toll-houses, small cottages with substantial toll-gates across the main road, were strategically placed at intervals along the main road; old toll-houses can still often be recognised by their strategic position looking out in both directions, with a blank window space where the list of charges was displayed.
