My winner of the Goodwood Revival class with the Independent Goodwood Photographers Guild. No pressure for next year then!
The United States Post Office and Courthouse, also once known as the Federal Building, is located at 200 N. 8th Street in Quincy. Completed in 1887, the post office occupied the first floor of the building, with the Federal Courtroom on the second floor.
Quincy is a city of exceptional architectural variety and quality. Styles ranging from Greek Revival to designs influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright can be seen. Somewhat unusual in style for Illinois at the time is this French Renaissance Revival style post office building which features a limestone exterior, arched entrances, and an ornate roof with pointed gables and dormers. Prepared in Washington by the Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Mifflin E. Bell (1846-1904), its modified early French Renaissance design is reminiscent of the chateaux of the Loire Valley. In fact, Bell's inspiration for the structure came from the William K. Vanderbilt House in New York City, designed by Richard Morris Hunt.
While the structure has not been used as a federal courthouse since the late 1970s, it continues in use as a post office station. In 1996, the post office was renamed the Orville H. Browning Station. Browning (1806-1881), a resident of Quincy, was a distinguished attorney, state legislator, congressman, United States Senator, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. He also served as Secretary of the Interior under President Andrew Johnson.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

One from October. The path at the foot of the field leads to the Wetlands here on the farm. Thanks for the look and have a great evening.

MotorSport-Revival 1
Der gegangene Weg ist immer auch Teil dessen, was man heute ist. Und so möchte ich an dieser Stelle exemplarisch zwei Bilder einer früheren Schaffensperiode zeigen.
Direkt vor unserer Haustür liegt eine der berühmtesten Rennstrecken der Welt. Daher war das Thema Motorsport einige Jahre lang ein zentraler Teil meiner Aktivitäten mit der Kamera. Mit meiner guten alten Sony A200 und einem treuen Sigma 500 habe ich viel Zeit an der Nordschleife verbracht. Ohne richtig funktionierenden Autofokus waren das auch echte Lehrjahre.
Das Bild:
Dieser Porsche 911 GT3 997 startete am 28.04.2012 beim 54. ADAC ACAS H&R-Cup im Rahmen der Langstreckenmeisterschaft am Nürburgring (VLN). Das Bild entstand in der letzten Rennstunde am Ausgang des Streckenabschnittes Wippermann. Bis heute mag ich dieses Bild besonders.
MotorSport Revival 1
The path you have taken is always part of who you are today. And so I would like to take this opportunity to show two pictures from an earlier creative period.
One of the most famous race tracks in the world is right on our doorstep. Therefore, the subject of motor sports was a central part of my activities with the camera for some years. With my good old Sony A200 and a trusty Sigma 500, I spent a lot of time at the Nordschleife. Without a properly working autofocus, those were also real teaching years.
The picture:
This Porsche 911 GT3 997 competed in the 54th ADAC ACAS H&R Cup as part of the Endurance Championship at the Nürburgring (VLN) on 28.04.2012. The picture was taken in the last hour of the race at the exit of the Wippermann section. To this day, I particularly like this picture.
MotorSport-Revival 1
Le chemin parcouru fait toujours partie de ce que l'on est aujourd'hui. C'est pourquoi j'aimerais montrer ici, à titre d'exemple, deux images d'une période de création antérieure.
Juste devant notre porte se trouve l'un des plus célèbres circuits de course du monde. C'est pourquoi le thème du sport automobile a été pendant quelques années une partie centrale de mes activités avec l'appareil photo. Avec mon bon vieux Sony A200 et un fidèle Sigma 500, j'ai passé beaucoup de temps sur la Nordschleife. Sans autofocus fonctionnant correctement, ce furent aussi de véritables années d'apprentissage.
La photo :
Cette Porsche 911 GT3 997 a pris le départ le 28 avril 2012 de la 54e édition de l'ADAC ACAS H&R Cup dans le cadre du championnat d'endurance du Nürburgring (VLN). La photo a été prise dans la dernière heure de course à la sortie de la section Wippermann. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, j'aime particulièrement cette photo.
This will be the last Louisiana pine snake (Pituophis ruthveni) image I post for a while. Here one of the released snakes can be seen in the longleaf pine savanna that will serve as its new home. These communities are really more prairie than forest, with widely scattered overstory longleaf pines and little to no woody encroachment in the understory, save the scattered longleaf pine saplings able to withstand the flames of the frequent fires that kept the shrubs at bay.
Unfortunately over the past 150 years or so, habitat loss combined with fire suppression and other means of habitat degradation have greatly reduced the the acreage of longleaf pine savanna in the West Gulf Coastal Plain and beyond. Many of the high quality examples that remain are fragmented, and few large, contiguous tracts exist.
In the past few decades there has been a push to begin restoring longleaf pine and implementing management regimes such as prescribed burn programs to re-establish former habitat and enhance existing habitat for the Louisiana pine snake and a suite of other species that depend on these communities. It is my hope that these efforts along with those like this reintroduction will help bring this iconic snake back from the brink.
A Tudor-revival house next to the Tower of London.
Although it could be original Tudor for all I know, based on where it is.

He began to emerge from what seemed like one hundred years of slumber, he was old now and his beard was thickening. The white froth of the endless depths began to part as he himself lifted from beneath.
Day one of two for night classes wasn't bad. I don't think this weekly impairment of not being able to frolic in the woods won't be all too awful. Also, this semester is almost over so that's exciting.

"Thinking of those here in the South who have had damage or lost their homes
during these terrible tornadic outbreaks the last several days. Thanks to you
who have asked about us....we are fine; it came mighty close but we were
spared the brunt of it.....came away with just some frazzled nerves. Afraid it
wasn't good news for all in adjoining counties though. But people are resilient
and God is good....and the sun is shining brightly today!"

We try to find a Frank Lloyd Wright house wherever we go. This one was just a little more extra than the Usonian houses we usually visit.
Bay Colony 1705 has been brought back from the dead and put back into freight service on the BCLR Watuppa Line. 1705 started as GP9 704 on the Great Northern in 1956. When on the Burlington Northern roster, it's nose got chopped and was renumbered 1777. 1705 remained numbered as 1777 during it's time on the Great Western and Omnitrax until acquisition by Bay Colony. It's great to see this 60+ year-old locomotive being brought back to life on a rickety shortline in Massachusetts. 1705 is seen returning from the Mass Coastal interchange in New Bedford, heading westbound to it's resting place in Dartmouth.
