State Street, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn
Number 297 State Street was erected as part of a row of six houses (Nos. 289-299), by Michael Murray, a local builder who lived at 240 DeKalb Avenue. Murray must have rented the house after it was built, for the property was not sold until 1886 to William J. Logan.
These handsome residences were part of the Boerum Hill community which had formed the original Town of Breuckelen founded in 1646 by Dutch colonists. It was incorporated into the larger City of Brooklyn in 1834 The development of Boerum Hill as an urban community began in the l840s and continued into the 1870s, Many of the houses which remain from this period incorporated Greek Revival and Italianate elements in the row house design. These houses were built for merchants and professional people, many of whom worked in the Wall Street area or in the vicinity of the Fulton Street ferry.
Murray, the builder, acquired the land for Nos. 289-295 in 1872, and the land for the pair Nos. 297 and 299 in 1874, from William Schermerhorn. The Schermerhorns were one of Brooklyn's old, wealthy Dutch families; Peter Schermerhorn, William's father, was, with his brother Abraham, one of Brooklyn's largest landholders, Schermerhorn Street, one block north of State Street, was named after them.
The north side of State Street was largely undeveloped when Murray began erecting Nos. 289-295 in 1872, (No. 289 has been demolished). Nos. 291-299 are five, almost identical, brownstone houses built in a late version of the popular Italianate style. They have undergone only minor alterations in the past one hundred years and the row retains an integrity and a unity which enhance the entire block.
The brownstone front of No. 297 which forms a pair with No. 299 is one of the best preserved in the row. It rises three stories above a rusticated basement which contains two segmental-arched windows with beveled keystones and Iron grilles. Ribbed pilasters flanking the doorway are topped by grooved console brackets with foliate pendants which support a bold segmental-arched pediment, A round arch with a foliate keystone and beveled spandrel panels accentuates the doorway. As on the other houses in the row, wooden engaged colonnettes topped with Corinthian capitals are set within the doorway recess. The wood double doors with four glased panels are similar to those at No. 295, upper floors have lintels with cap moldings and. sills supported on corbel blocks. The roof cornice at No. 299 like that of No. 297, is ornate and more typically Italianate. It is supported on four heavy foliate brackets interspersed with modillions and dentils; panels enrich the frieze.

My wife and I took a trip up to Vancouver for our anniversary, and on the way back we stopped by Washington's Larrabee State Park. One of our guidebooks commented that it is also referred to as "Little Sur," in comparison to California's Big Sur area. I don't know if that's a good comparison or not, since we took most of the drive in the dark, but it seems odd given that most of the drive was forested. When you enter the park from the north end there's a beach area you can access that has a few different viewpoints; this was the first one we hit.
I'm not even going to make any claims about whether this is true to what the eye would've seen, because I think it's pretty obviously not ;) but I did have fun processing it in Oloneo HDREngine and then playing with it some more with my shiny new copy of Photoshop CS6. A shame about the alignment problems, although I think they're only really noticeable on the mountains in the background... I really need to hack a device or something to do more than just +-1 bracketing automatically, because no matter how delicate I am it seems impossible for me to fiddle with the exposure without moving it.
(Since Photoshop blew away the EXIF: ISO200 f/8; the metered exposure was 1/250.)

Humboldt Redwoods State Park is located about 30 miles from Eureka in northern California. The park is home to the largest remaining contiguous old-growth redwood forest, which is named the Rockefeller Forest, after John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller was so blown away by the beauty of the forest he donated a million dollars to ensure its safety from logging companies. The park is also home to one of the most scenic drives in all of the United States, Avenue of the Giants. The amazing road stretches 32 miles and provides a scenic alternative to travelers on California Highway 101. The park also features more than 100 miles of hiking trails and has ample camping opportunities available.
