The petals fell from my birthday flowers and are now looking more like potpourri....the beautiful glass bowl, another long ago gift, was handcrafted by a Santa Ynez artist, according to the tag.
Originally excavated for the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894, it underwent a significant redesign after the fair in order to be repurposed as a venue for public gatherings centered on music performances.[1]
The focal point of the plaza, Spreckels Temple of Music, also called the "Bandshell", was a gift to the city from sugar magnate Claus Spreckels.[2] The structure was built in 1899, in advance of the Music Concourse's completion in 1900. It was severely damaged in the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes, has repeatedly undergone extensive renovation, and has served as a stage for numerous performers over the years ranging from Luciano Pavarotti to the Grateful Dead. It has for decades been the venue for annual celebrations of the anniversary of the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791.

The Caldwell County jail was built in 1908-1909. Designed by architect T. S. Hodges, this castellated brick structure served as the county's jail until 1982. Hodges is also known for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart shown previously in this short series.
The jailer's quarters occupy the ground floor, over a storage area in the basement. The upper floor contain fifteen cells of concrete and steel, with one cell rising from the center of the building. Gallows are said to have been removed from this jail in the 1930s.
Now a museum, the jail also hosts exhibits relating to the history of Caldwell County and the State of Texas. The former jail is not a Texas Historic Landmark.
Lockhart is the seat of Caldwell County, and is located 30 miles (48 km) south of Austin. The estimated population of Lockhart in 2019 was 14,133. Known as the Barbecue Capital of Texas, Lockhart also has played host to many film sets. The 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape were filmed partially in Lockhart, including the historic courthouse and the town square.
Gartelmann Liqueur Muscat bottle now holds bird feathers I've found ... seems appropriate with the Magpie picture.

Dock in Chincoteage... There's more to this story than meets the eye. Later in the day, fifty feet further down this dock, I was setting up my camera on a tripod when boom, it became detached, fell, rolled along the dock, and splashed into the water, salt water mind you. I watched it slowly settle to the bottom, emitting a few bubbles as water displaced the air inside the camera. I found an older gentlemen who helped me by going home and getting a net that I used to 'rescue' the camera from the denizens of the deep. I immediately removed the battery and placed it in fresh water and changed it dozens of times each day for several days. And in the end I have a few salvaged parts and my two media cards. I placed the cards in rice and let them dry for several days. And when done, the cards performed flawlessly to this day. Thus the above image was once under salt water before being rescued. Those rescued images were set aside and forgotten, only to be rediscovered a few days ago. What a surprise, but yet also a reminder of the loss of a Canon 5D MIV + lens. I never trusted that cheap old tripod again. It was "repurposed" and replaced with a most sturdy and reliable Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod. One of the lessons learned that day was to always buy good gear and don't trust a good camera to a marginal tripod. Even at that, I've equipped all my cameras with a 'tether' that attaches to a tripod, so that I'll never again be able to have a camera become completely detached from a tripod. If so, it falls at most 10 or 12 inches. They say that the best lessons in life are those that cost you something...

HLCoF everyone!
Previously the jar contained my homemade jam. The label is homemade, too. It is my photo of the view from our house at Rocky Butte. Mt Hood is obscured by the coin.
Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
This is the remains of a tree that was felled in my local park, as a result of disease. These sections were left where they were felled and have become a feature, where families gather in the Summer and children climb. There is so much character in this solid timber that must be many years old.
Repurposing your children's toys is a is a nice way to keep their memories close, and spiff up the old property a bit.
Happy Slider's Sunday.

CS-TOP, an Airbus A330-202, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. "PEDRO NUNES" was arriving as TAP9187 (Transportes Aereos Portugueses, S.A., operating as TAP Air Portugal) from Lisbon, Portugal.
This aircraft was reconfigured as a dedicated freighter in December 2020 and now wears "AIR CARGO" titles. This flight's payload was reportedly COVID-19 vaccines.
Hiding away from the eyes of the general public, this neat little critter spends her retirement days shuffling cars around within the confines of Charter Steel in Saukville, Wisconsin in a mostly intact coat of WC maroon and gold paint with it’s WC road number. The CN owns the Mill-Saukville portion of this line specifically to serve Charter Steel with a local based in Germantown, while the WSOR owns everything north up to Kiel and west to Ackerville with a local based in Granville. A quick picture search indicates that the retrofitted safety railings along the top of the hood were installed within the last couple of years. They’re not pretty, but at least the paint matches.
A view of one of the shop tracks at Baltimore & Ohio’s Glenwood Yard reveals Chesapeake & Ohio 8504, the hulk of an F7B used to transport prime movers. Also on the same track are a B&O gondola, and the frame of B&O crane X48.
Our coal-powered electrical generating plant will soon be replaced by one that is solar powered. Here's my tongue-in-cheek suggestion for how the old plant could be used.
The original photo was taken with my iPhone 11 during a bike ride. Photofox Surreal Skies was used to create this image.
This is the grave of Maria Luisa Montesano, born Levi della Vida in 1882, who died in 1968. And it's like nothing else I've seen. So the grave is rather modern, but it incorporates Roman spolia [Wikipedia definition: a stone taken from an old structure and repurposed for new construction or decorative purposes.]. It's an ancient Roman cinerary urn on top, but with Montesano's name added. The frieze on the front comes from a Roman sarcophagus, and then there are some added elements from at least one statue and parts of columns are used both as decoration and as the lower name plaque.
At the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, as it is popularly known. The name of the cemetery is actually Cimitero Acattolico, which means the Non-Catholic cemetery.

Built in 1873, the United Brethren Union Chapel is now a private residence. It's located at the corner of Badger Creek Road and 105th Street, south of Van Meter. There is also small cemetery here (not shown) to the east or right side of the photo.

Fire Hose Houses were used on the Union Pacific railroad to cover a hydrant and store hoses and other firefighting equipment. When they were no longer needed they were sometimes repurposed as outhouses. This is the third one I have found and there is just enough of the Fire Hose sign to identify it. When used as a hose house it would have had a hydrant inside connected to a water line through a hole that was convenient after the outhouse conversion. One of the hose houses I found still had a crank on the outside that must have worked a hose reel. This outhouse is at a corral on the Crow Creek Road, Bear Lake County, Idaho.
This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
