I was at a friend's art gallery and he had a bunch of vintage portraits stacked against a wall and this one just looked almost like one person.
This series is a swipe at barns. I drove back toward Longmont on Oxford then jogged to Nimbus Road on my way home. I caught this view toward the southeast and another long shot across a field. Haying seems to be the agriculture status of this farm. I see a New Holland bale wagon near the silos. At least they are baling legal bales here. Cows can't get a square meal from the round bales! Perhaps they stored ensilage in those silos that all have rebar sticking from the tops. All three are cast cement from slip molds. I wonder if they wanted all three silos to be taller.
The foot hills are still fewer than 10 miles away as is Longmont. I was still a dandy day among throwaway days of overcast. That dictated a day of trolling with the camera.
Although still in September we were suffering August heat, I'd say the mown grasses were greening again, sort of like Boy George. It often seems agricultural has been sucked from this area. Fortunately, we can buy food from the Sam n' Ella's farm in Mexico. The area is learning how valuable water in the west really is but have yet to learn the true value of watered land and soil and that it certainly doesn't need paving.
Strangely, we had a summer that was closer to normal, if high in humidity, but I don't think ignoring climate change or pumping petroleum will make rougher weather go away. This was a summer that was hotter than any on record. This August was hotter then any on record. This September was the hottest on record, all set world wide. perhaps you see a trend. That is at least until the looming petroleum wars are settled and the Koch Brothers and their political tea purchases are put away in their place. Until then CO2 levels in the atmosphere which are at an 850 million year high, will not be turned around. We all live in Kochistan now!

Tossed and Turned, A Time Capsule
The video walkthrough is at the link below!!
As far as I can tell, this house has been abandoned and sitting forgotten for over a decade! It was quite an enjoyable explore, with lots of furniture and personal items left behind. It seemed as though nothing was taken care of with the home after the owners died. Sadly during my second visit only a matter of months after my first, many pieces of antique furniture were stolen from the home.
The owners names were Shirley and Norman, they were born in the roaring 20s and were married in 1944, Shirley would have been only 17 years old at the time! At the time of Shirley's death, both her and Norman would have been married for 61 years. Norman died a few years later at the age of 88. They had one son together who died a couple of years after his father in 2012 at the young age of 54.

Three of the statues of the east pediment of the Parthenon of Athens, now in the British Museum.
The New Acropolis Museum is now open and is time for all the removed parts of the Parthenon to be united, to be returned to their birthplace. There are no more excuses for the British government and the British Museum which holds most of the Acropolis violently-removed parts.
Today, the new Acropolis Museum has a total area of 25,000 square meters, with exhibition space of over 14,000 square meters, ten times more than that of the old museum on the Hill of the Acropolis. The new Museum offers all the amenities expected in an international museum of the 21st century.
The Greek Minister's of Culture message for the museum follows:
.....................................................................................................................................................................
Welcome to the new Acropolis Museum. 188 years since the declaration of the Greek Independence, 33 years since Constantinos Karamanlis took the far-sighted decision to built it in this particular site, and 27 years since the campaign of Melina Merkouri, a duty is fulfilled and a dream is realized:
A whole nation’s duty to its own cultural heritage; the new Acropolis Museum. The paramount monument of Ancient Classical Times now has its own Museum – at last. In difficult times people need symbols to hold tight and stand straight. The Grand Opening of the new Acropolis Museum may be such a symbolic event. Where the Aesthetics of Logic, the Ethics of Freedom and the Rationality of Beauty, are all fused together and carved in stone for eternity. Acropolis hasn’t stayed intact over the centuries. Yet it is still radiating its Beauty and its Truth.
This unique embodiment of ideas, ideals, moral standards and aesthetic values is needed now, more than ever. And we enjoy these, for the first time in a Modern Museum deserving to the historical Monument. Take a tour in it. Appreciate its atmosphere and its exhibits. Be inspired by its transcending message. It is Greek because it is Ecumenical. It is ours only to share it with the rest of the World. And please, remember: What you will discover is not just a part of our History. It is also a part of our soul, of who we are…
There are strong, sacred bonds, connecting us with every single item, from the humblest archaeological fragment to the most ornate figure. All of the artifacts are parts of our soul… Mostly the ones missing! With the anticipation that eventually – better sooner than later – they will be re-united in their birth place and in the integral form they were meant to be.
Antonis C. Samaras
Minister of Culture
