Dear future archaeologists, anthropologists, or historians,
I hope by the time you uncover this Time Capsule, a global swift action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was implemented and that your global average temperature is only raised by 1.8°F (1°C), instead of the scary 7.2°F (4°C).
I hope your sunset view at Sunset View Overlook at Black Canyon of the Gunnison is as beautiful as mine!
Yours truly,
The Time Encapsulator
PS: No need to look up the word "encapsulator", it only exists in my very own dictionary!
PPS: It's not my globe and I was so tempted to re-position it but doing that would be rude to the owner.
Dark and misty, veiled in a post-apocalyptic fog, lies Lockwood where collapsing buildings and the rusted hulks of automobiles gradually decay into the weed strewn landscape. Be sure to grab a flashlight before setting out to explore this mysterious and eery timecapsule from a earlier era.
Tyntesfield was saved by the National Trust and is a wonderful timecapsule of Victorian life in a grand house, upstairs and downstairs. It is just outside Bristol near Wraxall in North Somerset. It comes to life in Spring!
Calke abbey appearing through a veil of fog making it even more moody than normal.

…… We had a 50 mile ride out today to visit a new to us N/Trust property - well worth the trip, we are so lucky to have these wonderful places to peep into lives past, imagine life back in the day and relive some snapshots in time. Spoilt for choice for my #243 shot of the day but I knew when I took the winner that it would be the one! Thanks to N/T & volunteers for a great day out. Alan:-)

Theresa May told Britain that there was no such thing as a "magic money tree". Apparantly she was mistaken.
The origin of money trees, not uncommon in parts of Yorkshire, are believed to date back to pagan times when people believed mystical spirits lived in trees and by making offerings to the trees people would benefit from wisdom, healing and insight. It is a similar tradition to that of throwing coins into running water, fountains or wishing wells.
But the first recorded instance of a money tree where a fallen branch had coins hammered in seems to date to the 1700’s in Scotland near Argyll. Queen Victoria even mentioned there being one near Gairloch in the Highlands in one of her diary entries.
The belief associated with money trees seems to come from the folklore that you could rid yourself of an illness by hammering a coin into a tree. But conversely if someone took a coin out from one of the trees that they would fall ill. This then evolved with people believing that they would be granted a wish if they drove a coin past the bark into the tree’s wood.
Vintage tram at the Black Country Museum, Dudley.
Interesting place, I have visited once before as a child with family, so It was nice to go back. Lot's to see. It's also made me want to watch Peaky Blinders..
Hopefully next time I go the trams will be out!
I do love to see places like this, I find it quite fascinating going back in time for a few hours.
an empty gas pump in the vast desert, a silent witness to days long gone. the wind whispers through the dry grass, carrying stories of travelers who never came back. time stands still here, under the endless sky. loneliness lingers, wrapped in golden light and fading memories. a place lost between nowhere and yesterday.
one of the canals in Strasbourg's historic centre called Petite France. It definitely looks like time was in a closed capsule and nothing has changed (besides fancy night lighting) ;)
HMM!
This pocket watch is in a capsule-like box that I just cracked open to take the image...
Slow exposure in natural light, hence the multiple second-hands on the left
a forgotten gas station under the scorching desert sun. the rusted sign stands as a silent witness to a time long gone. no cars, no people – just the wind and the distant mountains. the road stretches endlessly, leading nowhere. everything here feels abandoned, frozen in time. a scene of quiet desolation and nostalgia, like a memory that refuses to fade.

Bree sat in front of the now open time capsule, letter in hand and the puzzle box at her feet. "Halfway to light,
Halfway to dark,
Halfway to man,
Halfway to wolf,
At the Last Quarter tap me once, tap me twice,
At the Witching Hour, I shall shine my light.
Upon a stone Elk,
Rode by stone lady fair,
Might I reveal the key to opening my snare." she recited the inscribed riddle for the umpteenth time over the past week. "What does it mean, halfway to light and dark? Ugh!" the prefect exclaims, switching the letter for the box to examine. "Forget the firsties, YOU will be the end of my sanity!"
The Békéscsaba to Szeged line is a great timecapsule of classic Hungarian railways with many semaphore equipped stations and nearly hourly trains powered by unremotorized M41s. With the rumored purchase of the former DSB ME class diesels, the days of the last unrebuilt M41s could be drawing to a close. Or maybe not, change seems slow to reach Hungary but nothing lasts forever. The TRAXX diesel powered freight I saw later in the day was a clear reminder of that.....

A cold winter's day is when I first laid eyes on this house. I parked at the end of the driveway (just barely) and walked down just as the sky was turning that deep blue colour after the sun has set. I walked inside and had a quick look around and knew this was a location that I needed to come back to. Unfortunately, I never marked down the location, I thought about the house numerous times over the years and knew that I had to find it again to go back there. Fast forward a few years and the location again popped back onto my radar. I finally made it out there and was able to see it again for the first time.
Built in the late 1800s this Victorian Farmhouse has sat abandoned for about 16 years according to a calendar on the wall from 2006. A time capsule with furniture, belongings and personal items left behind. It also has one of the most amazing staircases I have seen inside an abandoned farmhouse. It has sat decaying for at least that long while the surrounding land was used for livestock until at least 2015. Since then the land surrounding the home has become severely overgrown and almost invisible to people travelling by while the surrounding crops continue to be actively farmed.

Don't forget about the video!!
In this week's video we have an abandoned house that has sat empty for at least 20 years! Likely built in the early 1900s the house has generous dark stained wood throughout covering both the walls and the ceilings and even tin ceilings upstairs. Everything the former occupants owned has been left behind and it seems as though most of it is from the 50s to the 70s. There are also a few other buildings on the property, including a log cabin which would have served as a guest house, another log structure, a garage and a shed that have both been built right into the hillside. A very unique property indeed with so much left behind!

I was visiting Coventry, England and I happened to see this older part of town. I thought it was fascinating. it looked almost like a time capsule from the England of 150 years ago. I later learned that many sites like this one, that had been damaged during WWII, had been preserved as they were. as a memorial to the people who had died there.
