The ruined remains of a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, in the Dripping Springs Natural Area, New Mexico.
The sanatorium and nearby Van Patten's Mountain Camp both had a troubled history, complete with bankruptcies, land disputes and lawsuits.
The metal mesh has been added to keep people from getting inside and further damaging the old buildings.
Thanks for visiting!
Morton National Park isn't the most well known bit of countryside in Australia. This is somewhat surprising since it covers a fairly respectable 500,000 acres (the same size as the entire ACT, fact fans) and includes some stunning scenery. Couple of days ago I joined a tag-along tour by National Parks and Wildlife and explored a little bit of the park. Weather was overcast and drizzly, but the views were still stunning. This is the George Boyd lookout from which (on a clear day!) you can see the coast all the way from Jervis Bay in the north to Mollymook in the south. Enjoy your Friday team, the weekend's just around the corner :)

In the Black Hills near Custer in South Dakota there is an unique antiques place; Boyd's Antiques.
It is worth the visit, while you're in near vicinity.

In the oldest rainforest in the world, these dinosaur-like lizards furtively glance over the forest floor whilst perched motionless on the side of a tree. This young male was found early in the morning and wasn't bothered by my camera - probably because he thought I hadn't spotted him yet!

These are 6 inch jointed bears that I found on Ebay.
They are posable and pretty cute.
I imagine there will be some adventures as they seem to like tea parties, picnics, and flower gardens.
Boyd was a station and shipping point on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. These historic buildings once served as a filling station.
Happy New Year! Sure, it's a bit late, but just back from the hols at the beach.
This view is from Boyd's Tower lookout, in Eden, New South Wales.
Ben Boyd was one of the first settlers in the area, and a pioneer of the whale trade, on which the town of Eden was built.
Eden is/was famous for it's killer whales that used to help the early whalers by herding the larger whales into the confines of Twofold Bay, making it easier for the harpooners on the boats. The Orcas reward was their favourite morsel, the tongue of the dead whale, provided by the grateful crews.
On hearing of the Orca's unusual food fetish I implored Barb to swim with her tongue out from then on.....
One of my first attempts at hand held HDR, inspired by the King and Queen of the caper, Artie ( www.flickr.com/photos/artiephotography/ ) and Nina661 ( www.flickr.com/photos/22729519@N03/ ). Nina doesn't need a tripod cause she's got nice hair, whereas I'm bald and just couldn't be bothered carrying the tripod.
Will be catching up with friends shots over the next few days.

Biography: One of the incorporators of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority while a student at Howard University, Norma Boyd taught for more than 35 years in the Washington, D.C., public school system. The second of the three daughters born to Jurrell and Pattie Bullock Boyd, Ms. Boyd was educated in Washington, D.C., and graduated from Howard in 1910. After study at Miner Normal School, she began teaching in 1912. She spent much time taking her students to visit Congress and other institutions to learn about democracy and the political process. She was active in the National Non-Partisan Council on Public Affairs, an organization which lobbied for the improvement of political, economic, and social conditions among minorities and which sought to secure, for all citizens, the opportunity to participate fully in all branches of government at the federal, state, and local levels. Miss Boyd represented the Council as a certified observer at the United Nations, where it was one of the groups submitting recommendations for the United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights. In 1959, she was the founder of the Women's International Religious Fellowship, an organization devoted to fostering understanding among the peoples of the world. She was honored by NCNW in 1947 and AKA in 1975.
