Maybe everyone should have a favourite home by the roadside, one they know nothing about, but always watch for in passing. This conjoined house-barn is one of mine, a well-kept farmstead in a windswept place. The winter storms really howl through the hills of Spa Springs, low and rolling rises spread across a lot of open fields. A couple centuries ago, all the land by this corner was cleared by the Woodbury family. When the nearby mineral springs were rising in popularity, they took the opportunity to board guests before a purpose-built hotel was constructed. It was quite a draw through much of the 1800s. But several cycles of fires and rebuilding, and a loss of public interest, and that's all some far-off memory now. What remains are the early settlements still surviving – the original houses expanded by first, second, and third additions. The stories keep growing with the space they inhabit.

“The fountain, the origin. Read one of these stories every day and your narrative taste will be purified, strengthened and refreshed.” said Philip Pullman about Grimm's Fairy Tales… And “I'm in the “Once upon a time” business.” elsewhere he said.
“Once upon a time” is an endless world springs from this endless world
-- and from the need to tell and hear stories. And to dream.
People who tell ghost stories while on camping trips should be punished by living in my head for a substantial amount of time. I think I was well into my teens before I was fine with going to the outhouse by myself after dark. Boo!
It's October first! Those who enjoy good scares and costumes should head on over to The Haunters and Haunted for 33 days of scariness!
I was going to carry this one out in my bed proper but then a number of scary movies flashed through my head (or at least their previews because I haven't actually seen a scary movie in ages) and I decided I should try and get this done while in a sleeping bag. It's a bit of a challenge to get a scythe rigged into place without an extra set of hands!
The Hereios are still in bed. Until I started feeling my age, I preferred my tent to any bed. I still love my tent and camping but I just don't sleep well on the ground anymore... :(
I love that this tent and sleeping bag actually match.

Photo was taken in Wuhan, when I was on my last visit to China. At the corner of the Gutian Fourth Road, there is a family selling BBQ on their vending cart. Spoke with the owner, the family was from Xinjiang - a province 1700KM from Wuhan. The lamb BBQ they made is so nice and the business became successful - people come by taxi and car just to sit down and have some bbq and a glass of beer.
Two kids often play off the street, picking up small stones or new discoveries from the ground -its a pity they are not sitting in the kindergarten classroom or playing with others. But there is something else they've learned - look at the two of them, the boy looks after his little sister very well, doesn't he?
Good luck to you, kids.
20th Fashion Story Licca, 1910 (2001). Another of my favourites, I love her soft peachy make-up & brown eyes.
I have a prediction.
These are gonna fly off the shelves so fast the shelves will catch fire and burn the kids trying to get one set for themselves.
A couple of questions - are those new, longer fig legs? Do the wings on Buzz's suit detach? How can I get my hands on 1000000 of those little aliens! =D

Edit:
WELLLLLLLL, I decided to say screw it, and just upload them on live journal!

The Story Bridge features prominently in the annual Riverfire display and is illuminated at night.
In 1990 road traffic was halted so pedestrians could celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bridge's construction.
Bridge climbs began in 2005 and have become a popular tourist attraction.

Every night we read stories to our kids before they go to bed. Here, my wife is reading them Harry Potter. Our other kids were either watching tv or playing in the street ;)

My travels around the UK with my son. June/July 2019 England.
On a visit to the British Museum.. luckily it isn't so hot today only around 26c.
The British Museum, in the Bloomsbury area of London, United Kingdom, is a public institution dedicated to human history, art and culture. Its permanent collection of some eight million works is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence, having been widely sourced during the era of the British Empire. It documents the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present. It was the first public national museum in the world.
The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the Irish physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. It first opened to the public in 1759, in Montagu House, on the site of the current building. Its expansion over the following 250 years was largely a result of expanding British colonisation and has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions, the first being the Natural History Museum in 1881.
Its ownership of some of its most famous objects originating in other countries is disputed and remains the subject of international controversy, most notably in the case of the Parthenon Marbles.
The Greek Revival façade facing Great Russell Street is a characteristic building of Sir Robert Smirke, with 44 columns in the Ionic order 45 ft (14 m) high, closely based on those of the temple of Athena Polias at Priene in Asia Minor. The pediment over the main entrance is decorated by sculptures by Sir Richard Westmacott depicting The Progress of Civilisation, consisting of fifteen allegorical figures, installed in 1852.
The museum is faced with Portland stone, but the perimeter walls and other parts of the building were built using Haytor granite from Dartmoor in South Devon, transported via the unique Haytor Granite Tramway.

People who have really "lived" have fascinating stories to tell. Some are fascinating just because they took place in such a different time than we live in (back when people walked barefoot through the snow, uphill both ways, to get to school). Others are remarkable because of the people they involve. You know, those stories about someone they knew or befriended as children who eventually became someone famous, maybe an important political figure or famous athlete. Many of their stories are of interest because they took place before so much of our culture became so sissified…back when kids were allowed to climb trees without signing waivers and lawyers weren't hanging around everywhere like vultures.
"Bearpa" is shown above telling stories to my wife and a couple of the kids by the fire one evening. We recently spent a (cold) weekend camping on their ranch while we hunted for deer. Between hunts and during meals Bearpa shared many stories of interest to all. He's a wise man and imparted much of his wisdom and knowledge -- about hunting and life in general -- to all of us.
I only had the camera out here and there (was busy hunting and skinning myself) but when I did it was usually in very low light. I used 1600 ISO most of the time yet some shots were still very challenging. If I left the camera in "normal" metering mode it overexposed much of the image since so much of the background was dark. So, I switched to partial metering (which on the Canon 50D is essentially spot metering using 9% of the center of the frame) and this allowed me to expose based on the brightest portion of the frame and keep it from being blown out. I also used an exposure bias of -1/2 all the way to -3/2. Notice how the picture of Bearpa beginning to skin a deer has deep black shadows in the background and how he himself is just a tad underexposed. This captures the scene perfectly in my opinion. This was taken out in a barn late at night, and the slightly underexposed picture reflects this. I cleaned up the night shots with Noiseware, which works magnificently.
Due to my back pain (this was pre-surgery) I was limited on how much I could twist, turn, and get into good positions but I did manage a few other shots. The trophy wall below is an HDR from 6 exposures and the one from in the blind was taken with my iPhone.
