Foxlease Farm in Upperville, VA is the former estate of John Archbold, a co- founder of Standard Oil. This large equestrian estate includes extensive training facilities for polo, eventing and foxhunting. In the 1990s the owner added an attractive stone center building to existing 19th century structures, transforming them conceptually into a Mas, the distinctive architectural style of traditional farmhouses found in Provence, France, where the family spends time. The work of Jacques Wirtz, the world-famous Belgian landscape designer, was the primary inspiration for the landscape of the farm. His signature “clouds” of undulating boxwood frame the front and rear of the house and and appear strategically throughout the surrounding acreage, creating a subtle green architecture that serves to preserve and enhance the spirit of place within this vast countryside. From the rear of the house spectacular views of a lake, stream and small waterfall are the primary focus.
At the western end of the lake a weeping Katsura tree anchors the space next to a small orchard. Completing the scenery are numerous outdoor entertaining spaces sur- rounded by expanses of green pastures. High ceilings and contemporary art dictate the style of the interior of the house.
The brochure above states that the house was old construction with a new center piece but the tour guide told us it was all new construction, so I don't know.

The solitary tree anchors this shot. I'm still looking to take the 'perfect' photo of this place. On this morning high-thin clouds were creating some shading on the lake and mountains to add a little contrast.

This birch tree, anchoring the patio of the Annex location of Aroma, was so amusingly tricked out for Pride that I had to photograph it.
Maybe it's supposed to be ironic, this former corn field, sprouting 109 people-sized ears of concrete corn in a large oddball art display. But it's also a salute to Sam Frantz, an inventor of hybrid corns, and a very weird sight along the highway.
Frantz farmed this site from 1935 to 1963, using it as as a study field for tasty mutant strains. Frantz was "well known for his development of hybrid corn seeds," and worked with Ohio State University on hybridization projects. He donated this land, now named Sam and Eulalia Frantz Park, after its farming days were over.
The artist brought in by the Dublin Arts Council to create the environment of corn, Malcolm Cochran, completed the field in 1994. A row of old Osage Orange Trees anchors the west side of the park, where you'll find signs explaining hybridization and describing the project. Three different molds were used to create the concrete ears of corn. The variety Cochran used is a "double-cross hybrid called Corn Belt Dent Corn."
Intended by the Arts Council to remind residents of the area's long-gone agricultural heritage, the Field of Corn instantly became a joke -- giant inedible food -- paid for with tax dollars, and surrounded by a sprawl of corporate offices, bland businesses and suburban neighborhoods.
Personally, I thought it was incredible and wonderful!

Madeira Park Harbour is the central marine hub of Pender Harbour, located on BC’s Sunshine Coast—a place where forested hills meet calm, protected waters 🌲⚓. It’s not just a harbour; it’s the heart of the community, serving as the main access point for boaters, fishers, and floatplanes, and anchoring the village of Madeira Park.
️ What Defines Madeira Park Harbour
• Sheltered waters: The harbour is naturally protected, making it ideal for moorage, anchorage, and marine operations
• Public Wharf: Operated by the Harbour Authority of Pender Harbour, the Madeira Park Public Wharf offers 600 feet of visitor moorage, power hookups, pump-out station, showers, and even floatplane access
• Commercial & recreational use: Serves everything from fishing vessels and pleasure craft to marine service boats and heritage displays like the Harbour Spirit and MISSMIC boom tug
Village Connection
• Steps from the wharf, you’ll find Madeira Park’s town centre, with cafés, galleries, a pharmacy, hardware store, and the IGA
• The harbour is a launch point for exploring Princess Louisa Inlet, Sechelt Inlet, and nearby marine parks
🎣 Maritime Heritage
• The area was originally inhabited by the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation, and later settled by European pioneers like Charles Irvine and “Portuguese Joe” Gonsalves
• The harbour reflects a rich history of fishing, logging, and marine trade, now celebrated through local art, restored vessels, and community events
Whether you're docking for supplies, launching a kayak, or just soaking in the view from the wharf gazebo, Madeira Park Harbour offers a perfect blend of utility, history, and coastal charm.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

The Evergreen Cemetery is the final resting place for many notable citizens of Paris and Lamar County. Due to the steady growth of the area, the old cemetery of Paris, located near the center of town, quickly became too small. In 1866, the Evergreen Cemetery Association was chartered by well-known community leaders to purchase land for cemetery purposes. After the initial purchase of sixteen acres from George Wright, additional tracts were acquired in 1893, 1907, 1956 and 1957.
The first burial is attributed to Lucy Pope Maxey (1794-1866), the mother of Samuel Bell Maxey, a West Point graduate, Confederate General and United States Senator. His wife, Marilda C. Maxey (1833-1908) is also buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Most of the cemetery’s eleven incorporators are buried here, including Samuel Bell Maxey (1825-1895), Dr. Alfred Simpson Johnson (1814-1881), Albert J. Redding (1821-1900) and William Bramlette (1851-1908).
Another incorporator buried here is Willet C. Babcock (1828-1881). His “Jesus in Cowboy Boots” monument attracts visitors from across the nation. Examples of the unique stonecutting art within the cemetery include a bevy of angelic figures and religious imagery, flowers, vines, cotton bales, broken trees, anchors and chains, sheep, a life-size buffalo and a replica of the front page of the Paris Morning News. This historic cemetery reflects the growth and rich history of Paris and Lamar County.

The Tree
"The calm quiet strength of a tree
Anchored deep in the earth
Reaching high in the sky
The calm quiet strength of a tree
The calm quiet strength of a tree
Full of life from its roots
To the tiniest branch
The calm quiet strength of a tree
And oh, how it comforts me
How it teaches me
Without a sound
Then I realize at once
That this tree and I are one
In eternity
The calm quiet strength of a tree
From the weight of its trunk
To its delicate leaves
The calm quiet strength of a tree
The calm quiet strength of a tree
Showing anyone near
All the secrets of time
The calm quiet strength of a tree"

I found this photo by Lange online from the Multimedia Library, and unfortunately there was no information on the size or type of print.
Dorothea Lange was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1895. Early on in her life she had a love for looking at people and places and a desire to take photographs of them. This grew out of her wanderings in New York’s lower-east side and downtown Manhattan after school, when she would walk to meet her mother, who was a librarian. When Dorothea Lange was older she did not become a teacher like her mother wanted. Instead, she showed her independence by going to the studio of a famous portrait photographer, Arnold Genthe, and asking him for a job. He accepted her, and so Lange began her career as a photographer learning all the basics, as well as the artistry and understanding needed to take photographs of people that truly portrayed them for who they were. This understanding helped Lange during her years documenting the events and people of the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, and WWII’s Japanese internment camps. Many of her photographs are the visual representation and connection that people today have for the events of that time period. Lange’s consideration for the stories and lives of those people is demonstrated through her work, showing the true human condition in the face of hardships, and the spirit and strength that still persists. Her husband was an agricultural economist named Paul Taylor, and in 1952 Lange co-founded the photographic magazine Aperture.
She died of cancer on October 11, 1965, having a life and career that impacted many people in important ways.
This photo does not seem too interesting at first glance, but what caught my interest was looking at the faces of each child in the photo and trying to read their facial expressions. Are they bored, unhappy, or serious? What was their life like at this time? The dirty clothes and bare feet or raggedy shoes give clues, but I think Lange captured much more than that in this photo. Although this picture shows the not so easy life of these migrant worker children; I think that their strength and courage is portrayed in their expressions and postures. The three girls in the middle of the photo are connected physically giving a sense of protection and friendship, perhaps they are sisters. It doesn't seem that Lange specifically posed the children, and I like that about this photo because it captures each child's energy and individuality. The dark tree anchors the center of the photo and allows for a great contrast between the bright light surrounding the children and their dark shadows.

"After my first tour I saw a mural by Alexis Diaz in Łódź Poland. It was of a tree anchored to a heart, but the tree was half dead. I thought about that for a long time. I loved the image but as an officer I was worried about having a large tattoo. Fast forward 15 years and promotion to Lt Col. At this time I was more confident and attitudes have changed. I had the image inked on my back over three sessions of 7 hours each. Instead of the half dead and half alive tree; there are hundreds of leaves. The heart is mine. The tree my family. My rock. My unrelenting support that has enabled me to grow and reach and accomplish everything I have in my career over the last 20 years. The leaves, each one, are a lesson or a day that has counted. Like turning sober which I’m proud to say I have now been for two years. The padlock yo my heart is my wife. This is for her and my girls. (The pic is pre-shading)."
