I'm in the dark of the basement
At an unpredictable moment, a strange woman's face suddenly appears.
There is fear. But I do not know the cause of that fear.

I've been so busy with one of my dogs health issues that I haven't had much time for photography. This is an old shot of one of my cats eyes with an edit into a textured wall background.
I live in an old 130 year old house and the basement is somewhat spooky with dark corners. I always get the feeling that someone or something is watching me. It gave me inspiration for this post.
The Louvre or the Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre, pronounced: [myze dy luvʁ]) (French About this sound (help·info)) is the world's largest museum and a historic monument in Paris, France. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district or ward). Approximately 38,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited over an area of 72,735 square metres (782,910 square feet).[3] The Louvre is the world's second most visited museum after the Palace Museum in China, receiving more than 9.26 million visitors in 2014.
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to the urban expansion of the city, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function and, in 1546, was converted by Francis I into the main residence of the French Kings
Sometimes construction workers do get creative. Light strings were used to provide basic lighting in this basement in preparation of refurbishment.
80 year old stairs. Notice how big the saw blade was on some of those cuts. Solid Oak everywhere. Can't tell you the number of bent nails I've done. A 2" and a 1" Oak board sandwiched together on the outside walls. I was told buy one of the daughters who came to visit that some of the wood came from an old church. A family of 5 lived in out 15x12 smoke house while the hose was built.

This pumper truck was fascinating. The long arm of this machine is necessary to reach the far end of the basement walls (65 feet from the near side).
Progress is exciting because at each step I am seeing dreams come true. Fun fact: In Montana you should always remember that your on "Montana Time"...and it is a beautiful thing. Work slows down during hunting season, people get injured, and you don't always know what plan to follow. Your usual expectations will be set aside and you learn to accept what limitations you have and know that with help from above and good people on the ground, it will all work out.

today my mom, aunt, sister, and grandmother went to our friend chick's basement to rock climb indoors in his homemade rock climbing training gym. i wasn't climbing - i was shooting the whole time. i love the shutter sound my camera makes. random, i know, but i do! it makes me so happy. i really, really love my camera. this picture is of my aunt, mom, and one of our climbing friends, niki! she's awesome. she's so bubbly and we all love her. they are putting tape on their hands before they started crack climbing. crack climbing is very difficult and the tape helps the back of your hands not get chafed and banged up. not really my thing. i think i'll stay behind the camera. i had a really great time there today. i'm really, really, really loving this camera. it was definitely worth the wait.

The Basement was probably the creepiest spot here. Not sure why I went down there. All I found was some sleeping bags, can food and trash. Glad I didn't see a died body.
One of the puzzling questions the archeologists have been asking during earlier periods of their excavations: Where is the king’s Palace?
Converse to the expectations, the remains of the King’s palaces of such a sprawling ancient metropolis is not as gregarious as one would expect. They are not the ones that standout amid the ruins. Not least because they were built modestly… the kings did live in luxurious palaces. Their elimination owe to two major factors. First, for obvious reasons it’s the palaces that took the brunt of the annihilation during the raids by the invading army. Second, the palaces where built with wooden super superstructure and got eliminated easily in the arson that followed the fall of the capital.
What remains of the erstwhile palaces are at the best grand plinths and ornate foundations. About half a dozen structures remains in the Royal Area are designated as the basement of palaces. A few of them are in the Danaik’s Enclosure area, one opposite to the Mahanavami Dibba , another one believed to be of the queen’s palace inside the Zenana Enclosure and a couple of smaller ones are located near the Octagonal Bath.
Most of these have one thing in common, the style of the bases. Typically the basements of palaces are multi-cornered multi-layered with elephant balustrades at the entrance.
