Hiscock House in Trinity, Newfoundland. Built in 1881. A Provincial Historic Site, it's open for tours in the summer.
I couldn't resist a shot of this great heritage home in winter light. This shot shows the main house and shop. A beautiful home in a beautiful community, arguably the nicest town in the province. More information here:
The Hiscock House Provincial Historic Site is a complex of connected, late nineteenth century buildings comprised of a house, a shop and cellar, situated within the community of Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
The Hiscock House is designated a Provincial Historic Site because it has aesthetic and historic values. The Hiscock House is aesthetically valuable as it is an example of nineteenth century outport vernacular architecture. Built in 1881 for Richard Hiscock this complex of buildings comprised several structures that were necessary for everyday life at that time, including the house, shop, wood house, cellar, barn, forge and outhouse. Of these, only the house, shop and cellar remain today.
The house has a steeply pitched gable roof with returned eaves, two end chimneys located above the ridge and a central scotch dormer located above the eaves line. This wooden house is constructed with narrow wooden clapboard, wide corner boards and wooden roof shingles. The regular fenestration of the 6/6 wooden windows is further emphasized by the wide, but plain, wooden trim. The front door is recessed and has a wooden pediment.
The associated shop is attached via a corridor addition, which is accessible through the house and there are two separate entrances for the public. The roof slopes steeply forward as a shed roof, but has a flat roof over the top of the building. As is typical for a commercial building, the shop has two large storefront windows and a recessed doorway with two long, narrow windows and a panelled door. This shop mirrors the attached house with narrow wooden clapboard, wide corner boards and plain window and door trim. The cellar remains as it was originally built, located at the back of the property.
The Hiscock House is historically valuable because it is a good surviving example of a typical merchant’s family home. Constructed in 1881, this house was built in anticipation of the marriage of Richard Hiscock and his future wife, Emma. This property remained in the Hiscock family until 1978 when the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador purchased it. Most of the artifacts within the property are original and these buildings are well suited to telling the story of a nineteenth and twentieth century merchant family. The house and shop have been restored as a community museum to highlight the story of the self sufficiency of Emma Hiscock, who became widowed not long after her marriage. Emma was able to support herself and her family, and keep them together, educate them and maintain a position in the community in spite of her circumstances. The Hiscock House has undergone many changes and renovations in its history, as Emma Hiscock used her resourcefulness to operate a post office and a bank from the property. The Hiscock House stands as a reminder of the resilience of an outport woman who was faced with the difficulties of early twentieth century life, and succeeded.

I swear it was cold and raining days before. Loaded the Lomo 800 and it turned out to be a sunny day. Unfortunately, my Super Fujica 6 had succumbed to the effects of age (at its 10th roll). The parallax correction suddenly failed. After the film developed, it was found the infinity focus is off too. Looks like a visit to hospital to join its new friend is inevitable. Just my luck with medium format so far.
A time-lapse of my Skywatcher Quattro 8" tracking the night sky.
It actually looks like the camera is moving but, it's just the telescope and sky that moves.
The camera is mounted on a little tripod on the floor, which I almost kicked over, several times.
The flashing red light is my head torch as I regular check on the telescope.
This was 655 images taken with a Canon 1100D. I used a Neewer intervalometer for taking the exposures.

I'm trying to get myself back on track with these posting deadlines, and now is the time, as school has officially started.

I don't think any bird beats a robin's enthusiasm for taking a bath.
This youngster was doing its best to empty the bath.
Thanks for Explore.
7DOS, Week #39 - Song Titles, Macro Monday - one from the archive, taken nearly a year ago in fact. How much my life has changed since then! Apologies for the lack of visits and activity on my part, but we're still sans house and there seems to be a ton to do despite this. I have no idea how long it'll be before we get connected once we're in a house so it may get worse/better - who knows.
Thank you in advance for any comments and/or favourite and apologies for the lack of reciprocation on my part. We're still living out of bags a month down the line and I'm not sure when this will change. Getting serious photography-withdrawal symptoms :-(

Lazy Saturday morning breakfast together whilst our child (miraculously) sleeps in :-) This is one of my all-time favourite Pink Floyd tracks, from their iconic "The Dark Side of The Moon" album, which was released 40 years ago - where has Time gone?
These are some more shots of my Tour to Europe in Sept - Nov 2012. I has been a while since I last saw them.. great to be able to catch up on them at last!
On our tour of Valencia, on my Cosmos tour, October 15, 2012.
Plaza de la Reina, one of the busiest plazas in Valencia. At one end is the Cathedral, said to be home to the Holy Grail, at the other, is the Horchateria de Santa Catalina, a two-hundred-year-old cafeteria selling great horchata.

Just a quick little shot this time. Took this by dropping a water droplet on my phone camera to simulate a macro/fisheye lens.
Enjoy!

Vaya Con Dios - Time files
It's been such a funny day
I don't know why
Walking on an endless lane
Life passing me by
Tomorrow is calling
But I'm dragging my feet
The skies are indecently clear
But I can't stand the heat
Sleepwalking in a haze
Stumbling like a child
Dragons that I used to chase
Tease me from inside
The future's uncertain
Just like yesterday
Memories of heaven
Can be taken away
Chorus:
You know, time flies
And the rebels, one day
They all go quiet
Ain't no money, ain't nobody
That can buy you peace of mind
They say you learn from your mistakes
It's a lie
My redemption has been staged
Numerous times
But the angels of passion
Still taunt me, in my sleep
They keep throwing petals and thorns
Underneath my feet
