Forest is a place full of cool air is isolated by plants and trees. In a life we can usually see and feel an interesting element that makes us excited to find out more information. Do you ever been in forest and do you ever thought to live in the forest?

Some extension into the woods, defensive operations on an abandoned structure.
Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...
On Scene at an early morning fire that badly damaged the club house at the Canaan Country Club located on High St. in North Canaan, Connecticut. Shortly after 4:30 am the North Canaan Fire Department was dispatched for a structure fire at the country club and first arriving units confirmed the fire to be through the roof. Mutual aid for tankers, engines and additional manpower was quickly dispatched from Lakeville and Falls Village,CT as well as Sheffield Massachusetts. Though the fire was brought under control after 40 minutes the structure sustained heavy damage. Additionally railroad traffic along the Housatonic line had to be held since water supply lines had to be stretched across the train tracks from hydrants located on Route 7. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire or the suppression effort.
Apparatus shots at a house fire on Highview Dr in Winchester Center,CT notice the weather conditions. The area was hit with a major ice storm which took down trees and powerlines throughout Northwest CT, the whole area was without power for several days.
I remember one quote i read a while ago, from a famous and renowned architect, saying that "architecture is the wise, accurate and magnificent game of volumes under the light". It's beautiful to see how, when a building is designed from this point of view, you can appreciate how the sunlight enters through the openings of the "constructive mass", caressing the walls, and giving shape and texture to everything depending on the materials selected by the architect.
This, in some special, memorable and unique cases, turns a building into an inhabitable work of art.
In 1861 a plan was formed to construct a breakwater off Laggers Point to make Trial Bay a harbour of refuge for those ships too big to cross river mouths.[3] Further plans included the idea to use prison labour for the construction, with a prison established specifically for that purpose. In 1877 work on the gaol commenced and in 1886 it was proclaimed a prison and inmates moved there.
The breakwater they worked on was to extend some 1500 metres out into the bay, built from granite blocks quarried from the nearby hill. Heavy gales caused damage to the structure as it progressed over the years. In 1898 and 1899 new wings were built on the prison, suggesting work was intending to continue, but in 1903 it was abandoned. Apparently the prison was costly to run and didn't fit with ideas of penology of the time.
About 300 metres of breakwater had been built, and it had shoaled up the bay considerably. A wharf had been built inside the breakwater in 1898, not meant for public use, but which ended up used regularly by passenger ships which could not navigate the Macleay River mouth. Today only a small section of the breakwater remains, about 50 metres, and nothing of the wharf.
In 1915 the gaol was reopened to hold German wartime internees. Most were single men of some education and included officers of the German Army Reserve. A rumour went around in 1917 that a German landing party planned to free the men and when a German raider the SS Wolf was seen in 1918 the men were moved to the large camp at Holsworthy outside Sydney.
This was the last use made of the prison and it was stripped and fixtures sold off in 1922. Today it's open to the public, operated as a heritage site by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Wikipedia..
Random shot taken during a feature in Suffolk. I'm led to believe this structure is something to do with the cooling outlets from Sizewell B nuclear power station, which was about half a mile away.
B&W treatment in LR with a contrast boost to bring out what little horizon there was - it was a grey, flat day that was pretty gash for landscape photography.
