I'm becoming extra girly as the months / years go by. I know i'm somewhat becoming a late bloomer but who cares :p Haha. I've never been too fond of accessories but lately I can't leave the house without either a ring or a necklace or whatever.
What's happening to me? o.O
Every parent comes to this realization at some point or another...
You buy the kid the expensive toys or the "Baby Stephen Hawking" DVDs
or whatever, but what the kid REALLY wants to play with is the
cardboard box or the ribbon wrapping the present.
In our case, Millie got a very fancy present in the mail. She showed
very little interest in the present itself, but the crumpled paper
cushioning the present in its oversized box... well, that was another
story.
I witnessed the death of a monkey in the movie Tarzan. I wanted this to be a dark image, since the subject is also dark. I had to crank up the ISO because it was a dark room, but I wanted to avoid turning on a light because I felt it would be too bright. I was right next to an open window, which I had hoped would cast a shadow on my face, in an attempt to look burdened by sadness. I'm still working on accommodating for natural light with the ISO settings, but I feel that I am slowly getting better at it. This was in my workspace.

26076 Appomattox River Heritage Trail – Campbells Bridge, Grove Avenue & Fleet St., Petersburg, Petersburg City, VA. April 13, 2024. Decimal degrees: 37.232041, -77.417163 GPS: N 37 13.922, W 77 25.030
“Appomattox River Heritage Trail”
“The Realization of a Vision”
“The Appomattox River is a major tributary of the James River flowing east through central Virginia’s Piedmont and coastal plain. It is an important regional resource that is unique and irreplaceable.]
The Appomattox River Heritage Trail is a dynamic, growing trail system. It was created through the support of public and private partners working together to preserve, protect and interpret the river as the cultural and natural resource that is the heart of our regional identity. The trail offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and power of the Appomattox River. At several locations the trail connects to Petersburg’s historic downtown neighborhoods.”
Locations on map:
1 Pocahontas: In 1784, four small towns at the convergence of three counties (Pocahontas in Chesterfield, Blandford in Prince George, and Petersburg and Ravenscroft in Dinwiddie) were combined and incorporated as Petersburg, soon home to a large free black population, and Pocahontas was one of their principal communities.
2 Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Bridge (site): Only the piers remain from the 1909 ACL railroad bridge, which replaced the Richmond & Petersburg railroad causeway of 1838.
3 Pocahontas Bridge (site): a stories bridge was constructed here in 1752, the year the town of Pocahontas was established. It was abandoned soon after the construction of the diversion Channel in 1909.
4 Appomattox Point: During the 18th century the community in this vicinity was called Appomattox or Bolling’s Point.
5 Union Station (1909): Originally serving north-south and east-west rail traffic, Union Station still accommodated east-west passenger trains until the late 1970s.
6 South Side Depot (1851-54): The oldest railroad station remaining in the Confederate South. By late 1864 the South Side Railroad was Lee’s last remaining supply line.
7 Flea Island: Three major bridge have crossed Flea Island: Browder’s (late 1750s), Hector McNeill’s (1803), and the South Side Railroad bridge (late 1850s).
8 Peter Jones Trading Post: Only ruins from one of the Petersburg’s earliest Stone buildings, known as ‘Peter Jones Trading Post,’ remain.
9 Sturgeon Dam: Virginia’s largest and most intact weir fish dam, the Sturgeon Dam was used by Native Americans who taught early colonists how to operate it.
10 Harvell Dam: Located at the Great Falls and successor to a series of stone dams, Harvell Dam produced electric power into the late 20th century.
11 Campbell’s Bridge: In 1791, the first of a succession of bridges was constructed here at Narrow Falls to connect to the north-bank mills.
12 Canal Mill Ruins: A) Water-powered mill have been located on the south side of the river since 1745, when William Pride built the south canal. B) For more than a century mills were also powered by the north canal, constructed in 1791.
13 Street of Mills: A series of mills along Canal Street utilized water flowing from the Upper Appomattox Canal Basin to the Appomattox River.
14 Canal Basin (site): Abandoned early in the 20th century, the basin of the Upper Appomattox Canal was once full of batteaux.
15 Merchant’s Mill Dam: Successor to Pride’s Mill Dam (1745), Merchant’s Mill Dam now drives water into both the north and south canals.
16 The Arches of Battersea Cotton Mill: The Battersea Cotton Mill, one of the largest along the river, discharged water from two water wheels here. These arches were an integral component of the mill foundations served as the outfall for the canal waters that drove the mill.
17 Battersea: Col. John Banister constructed this fine Palladian villa in 1768 as a leisurely retreat on the outskirts of the burgeoning town of Petersburg.
18 Battersea Dam (Spike Dam): Built circa 1840, Battersea Dam was a ‘crib’ dam made by stacking interlocking logs, spiking them to each other at the corners and to boulders at each end, and filling the crib with rocks. Canoeists call it Spike Dam because of the spikes they seek to avoid. Some of the spikes can still be seen embedded in the boulders when the river is low.
19 Battersea and Ettrick High Canals: A) From the south of Battersea Dam, the Battersea Canal courses a mile down river to end at the Battersea Cotton Mill. B) The Ettrick High Canal begins at the north edge of Battersea Dam and runs 1.1 miles downriver to the Ettrick Manufacturing Company Cotton Mill.
20 The Quarry: This is an abandoned granite quarry from which stones to construct the canals were taken.
21 Indian Town Creek: In 1646, the Appomattox Indians were, by treaty, relocated to land along this stream, now called Rohoic Creek.
22 Aqueduct (1826). The Upper Appomattox Canal crossed high above the creek on a stone aqueduct south of the railroad. The canal allowed Batteaux to bypass the rapids of seven-mile fall line. To the west lie four abandoned staircase locks that carried batteaux down 29.32 feet to the level of the aqueduct.
23 The March to Fort Gregg: Here, on April 2, 1865, 300 Confederate soldiers crossed the Appomattox on a pontoon bridge en route to Fort Gregg (aka the Confederate Alamo), where they held off, 5,000 Union forces in hand-to-hand combat, while Lee’s army established new positions behind Indian Town Creek. After two hours, all Confederates were dead or wounded.
24 Ferndale Park (Appomattox Riverside Park): The park’s pond system was part of the Upper Appomattox Canal completed between 1807 and 1810. Benjamin H. Latrobe, often called ‘America’s first architect,’ was hired to undertake a survey for the canal’s construction. Ferndale Park was the major area amusement park from 1910 to 1928.”
i was in my room today thinking "wow, it's great that i'm finally taking the initiative to take photos. i need a hobby." then i looked at my desk space, and i realized that i'm oblivious.
Realization is not the silence of the mind; Realization is the end of the sense of an identity in this experiment of the thought. Realização não é o silêncio da mente; Realização é o fim do sentido de uma identidade nessa experiência do pensamento.~Mestre Gualberto⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ramanashramgualberto #mestregualberto #satsang #ramana #ramanamaharshi #quoteoftheday #guru #pranayama #buda #goodvibes #sadhana #whoami #zen #meditation #awareness #fé #selfinquiry #knowledge #quote #ego #krishna #yogainspiration #nisargadattamaharaj #om #maya #meditação #whoareyou #mind #bliss #spirituality
