Salem Methodist Chapel (Wesleyan), Bont, Arthog Gwynedd Wales UK - Built in 1833 and rebuilt in 1868by Thomas Thomas of Landore - Closed in 1973
Nella notte tra il 14 e il 15 gennaio del 1968 Salemi venne gravemente colpita dal terremoto che distrusse la Valle del Belice. A seguito dell’evento sismico Salemi vide decentrare la sua urbanizzazione nella zona a valle della collina, denominata “Paese nuovo”. In concomitanza del terremoto Salemi, donò, altresì, a Gibellina dei terreni pianeggianti sui quali è stata costruita la città di “Gibellina nuova”.
Il centro storico è caratterizzato da uno schema di impianto arabo, con vicoli ciechi molto articolati, che portano a cortili sempre più segregati e scale ripide su strapiombi. L’abitato, danneggiato dal terremoto del 1968, non è disgregato del tutto ma nella zona centrale è stato abbandonato in virtù dei pochi interventi di restauro e di una scelta politica-urbanistica di decentrare i nuovi abitati nella zona dei “Cappuccini”. La struttura, tuttavia, mantiene la monumentale ortogonalità del complesso costituito dal Collegio dei Gesuiti e da un denso corollario di chiese e dimore patrizie. In posizione elevata e dominante sorge il Castello, eretto o quantomeno rimaneggiato da Federico II di Svevia nel XIII secolo, sulla base di un’antica fortezza greco-romana poi utilizzata dagli arabi e dai normanni, a pianta trapezoidale con tre torri, due quadrangolari e una a pianta circolare. Sul sito dove sorgeva l’antica chiesa madre medievale dedicata alla Madonna degli Angeli e verosimilmente insistente su una moschea e su un tempio di Venere, nel 1615 ebbe inizio la costruzione del Duomo, su progetto dell’architetto palermitano Mariano Smeriglio e completato nel 1761, almeno per quanto riguarda il corpo longitudinale, giacché proprio da questa data hanno inizio i lavori di ampliamento della vecchia abside. Il terremoto del Belice del 1968 e l’incuria che le autorità civili ed ecclesiastiche, del tempo, hanno saputo dimostrare lo hanno ridotto ad un imponente rudere. In parte recuperato, con un progetto d’intervento dell’architetto portoghese Alvaro Siza, suscitano ora particolare attrazione i resti dell’antica "Madrice" antistanti alla piazza Alicia sulla quale si affaccia anche il castello. Nel corso del convegno internazionale denominato Piazze d’Europa, piazze per l’Europa la piazza Alicia è stata inclusa tra i 60 buoni esempi di realizzazione, progettazione e riqualificazione urbanistica al mondo
Another look at Salem Sue in New Salem, North Dakota. You can get a good photo of Sue from above if you climb that hill. Unless, of course, you're totally absent-minded and realize months later that you forgot to do so.
I got a new camera yesterday and I got a chance to play with it a bit today! This is Salem Evangelical United Church of Christ at 9th and State in Quincy, Illinois. Built in 1878, the structure has undergone renovations numerous times over the years and today is a spectacular sight. The steeple is visible from many vantage points all over town. As we all know.. the camera can see what we can't. I thought I had plenty of room above the top of the steeple but obviously I didn't. There was some distortion that I had to correct also and that didn't help either. I won't make that mistake the next time.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Salem, Nebraska. No authenticated witch, just a spooky abandoned house in a small, dying Midwest village.........and a bit of imagination and post processing.
Salem, Oregon; the Beaux-Arts style depot was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1918. It is still active as an Amtrak station.

The nuclear power plant at Salem N.J. puffs out great clouds of steam in calm air on an otherwise virtually cloudless day. Taken from across the Delaware River estuary at Augustine Beach, Delaware, just south of Port Penn on scenic Route 9.

"Old Salem is a historic district of Winston-Salem, North Carolina that was originally settled by the Moravian community in 1766 . This small city features a living history museum (operated by the non-profit Old Salem Museums & Gardens, organized as Old Salem Inc.) that interprets the restored Moravian community. The non-profit organization began its work in 1950, although some private residents had restored buildings earlier. As the Old Salem Historic District, it was declared a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1966 and expanded in 2016. The district showcases the culture of the Moravian settlement in North Carolina during the 18th and 19th centuries, communal buildings, churches, houses, and shops."
This cemetery in Winston-Salem, North Carolina was established by Moravian Christians in 1771 and is still an active cemetery today.
I designed the cover for Salem by Anthony Bowman. Finally, something of mine that's tangible (the parka was also painted by me too).
However, some meddling was done by the publishing company and there are some design flaws that I take no responsibility for (note the tree not extending to the bottom).
You can see more info here at Amazon: Salem
UPDATE: I have since discovered that the publishing company is a vanity publisher and a joke among the real writing community. I'm kind of embarrassed that I did this now, but oh well.
Last spring break (yep, it took me 9 months to develop the film and 3 more to scan it) I went to Boston, Salem, new Hampshire, and Maine to visit some of the most incredible people I have ever known. I've made it a point to travel places where I know people because they are helpful, courteous, and so fun to be around.
Carla took me out to Salem one day and we did a bit of walking around because the weather was perfect. This is one image that I can't wait to print - maybe I'll wait until next spring break!
