Today’s story is a story of one break up and an inner desire to mend things that can’t be mended.
Every relationship demands a lot of time investment and energy from both sides. Starting a relationship, it is easy to be overwhelmed by positive emotions and disappearing feeling of loneliness. The more time goes, the more partners become involved in the stories of each other, feelings and world outlook. Sometimes the desires of partners are too diverse, sometimes there are too many third parties involved, sometimes there is disrespect and the constant desire to take, but not to give. I believe each of us can add tons of other reasons when relationships start to remind a burden rather than a happy fairy tale. Millions of books written on the topic, tons of film shot.
Some people are mesmerized by the idea of finding the ideal partner. I was blessed to be not involved in that crappy stuff. There are two most important things for me in a relationship, one being trust, the second being respect. The moment I have lost one of them, the relationship started to look like a glass cube that slides out of a skyscraper (real thing in Australia, check – Eureka Skydeck 88). Precisely said, beautiful and unusual from outside, quite painful and unstable inside.
When it comes to breaking up, it is hard not to start feeling sad. Time spent on building something together, emotions and stories involved, secrets kept… It is hard to admit, but sometimes it is the only way out.
A break up is a small death.

This house was built between 1740-1750. At the time of the Revolutionary War, it was the home of Colonel Theunis Dey and his wife Hester. Theunis was a Colonel in the Bergen County militia, and was active politically in the Revolutionary War era. Hester also took part in the cause of Independence; she served on a committee of women who raised money for the "relief and encouragement of those brave Men of the Continental Army."
Dey Mansion served as General George Washington's Headquarters twice during the Revolutionary War: from July 1 - 29, 1780 and again from October 9 - November 27, 1780. Washington and his close aides, who he referred to as his "military family," occupied the east side of the house. Theunis and Hester Dey remained at the house with their children and occupied the rooms on the west side.
One of the officers staying with Washington at Dey Mansion was his aide-de-camp Alexander Hamilton.

Happened upon this stencil in Jackson Square in New Orleans shortly before we made our way to Cafe du Monde.
While the stencil itself is the focus, the more interesting bits are the two statements to the right of it.
Sometimes I wonder if graffiti is the last real vestige of free speech.
Chatham Manor has quite a history from the Revolutionary War and American Civil War. see it here:

I was chatting with this guy about beards and how so many of the Rev War reenactors wear them and how they are most assuredly not authentic to the time period (farby). And how I enjoy the occasional angry comment from someone about how he's not taking it seriously enough to be clean shaven. We'll see if we get one on this shot.
This kind sir also suggested I photograph this guy who WAS authentic.

And I started an album just to collect Rev War guys with beards.

Colonial Williamsburg is the historic district of the independent city of Williamsburg, Virginia. It consists of many of the buildings that, from 1699 to 1780, formed colonial Virginia's capital. The capital straddled the boundary of two of the original shires of Virginia, James City Shire (now James City County), and Charles River Shire (now York County). For most of the 18th century, Williamsburg was the center of government, education and culture in the Colony of Virginia.
Colonial Williamsburg is meant to be an interpretation of a Colonial American city, with exhibits including dozens of authentic or accurately-recreated colonial houses and relating to American Revolutionary War history. Prominent buildings in Colonial Williamsburg include the Raleigh Tavern, the Capitol, The Governor's Palace, and Bruton Parish Church. However, rather than simply an effort to preserve antiquity, the combination of extensive restoration and thoughtful recreation of the entire colonial town facilitates envisioning the atmosphere and understanding the ideals of 18th century American revolutionary leaders. It was here that Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Monroe, James Madison, George Wythe, Peyton Randolph, and dozens more helped mold democracy in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States.
The Historic Area is located just east of the College of William and Mary, founded at Middle Plantation in 1693, just prior to the establishment of the town as capital of Virginia and its renaming. The university's historic Wren Building stands at the west end of Duke of Gloucester Street.
Colonial Williamsburg is a major source of tourism to Williamsburg, as well as a touchstone for many world leaders and heads of state, including U.S. Presidents. The United States hosted the first World Economic Conference at Colonial Williamsburg in 1983. It is the centerpiece of the surrounding Historic Triangle of Virginia area, which has become a popular tourist destination for visitors domestic and foreign. The other two points of the Historic Triangle are Jamestown and Yorktown.

Early in the 20th century, the restoration and recreation of Colonial Williamsburg, one of the largest historic restorations ever undertaken, was championed by the Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin and the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., along with the active participation of his wife, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, who wanted to celebrate the patriots and the early history of the United States.
Many of the missing Colonial structures were reconstructed on their original sites during the 1930s. Other structures were restored to the best estimates of how they would have looked during the eighteenth century, with all traces of later buildings and improvements removed. Dependency structures and animals help complete the ambiance. Most buildings are open for tourists to look through, with the exception of several buildings that serve as residences for Colonial Williamsburg employees.
Notable structures include the large Capitol and the Governor's Palace, each carefully recreated and landscaped as closely as possible to original 18th century specifications, as well as Bruton Parish Church and the Raleigh Tavern.
The major goal of the Restoration was not to merely preserve or recreate the physical environment of the colonial period, but to facilitate education about the origins of the idea of America, which was conceived during many decades before the American Revolution.
In this environment, Colonial Williamsburg strives to tell the story of how diverse peoples, having different and sometimes conflicting ambitions, evolved into a society that valued liberty and equality.

Kathleen for Julia Kay's Portrait Party!
I took the liberty of having Kathleen holding her book open, showing the Hat page, on which she is portrayed by Clyde (which looks nothing like my reproduction here ;))
A quick revolutionary war purist figbarf. I've been making some non-purist revolutionary war soldiers and they look much more accurate, but thought it would be fun to play with official LEGO pieces
If you are married and you saw the movie "Revolutionary Road", then you can relate to the authenticity of the emotions portrayed by the characters of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
It teaches us that humanity comes with its imperfection like the extreme emotions of lust, anger and hate which breaks us and tears us apart.
Ironically, negative emotions sometimes lead us back to the beginning of our human existence by helping us define art through its expression and thus, making us understand and embrace the better side, where happiness, wisdom and love exist.

Seen in the Museum at Putnam Memorial State Park.
Known as "Connecticut's Valley Forge", Putnam Memorial State Park preserves the site that Continental Army Major General Israel Putnam chose as the winter encampment for his men during the winter of 1778/79 during the American Revolutionary War.
