The Jimmy Carter Boyhood Farm was owned by Earl Carter, Jimmy's father, from 1928 until 1949. Jimmy Carter lived here from the age of 4 until he departed for college in 1941. The farm was restored to its appearance before electricity was installed in 1938, and is part of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site. This appeared to be a farm store. Inside was food items from the time. great place to look around.

This is the boyhood home of Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th President of the United States. This view shows the east front porch that served as the main entrance to the home.
The house was built in 1901 by W.C. Russell, sheriff of Blanco County. In 1913, Sam Ealy Johnson, Jr. paid $2,925 for the house and the surrounding 1.75 acres. During the presidential years, the home was used as a community center and public tours were offered. In December of 1969, Congress designated this home as part of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Site. In the early 1970s, the National Park Service restored the home to its appearance during the mid-1920s, the teenage years of Lyndon B. Johnson.
The architectural style of the house is Folk Victorian, an architectural style employed for some homes in the United States between 1870 and 1910. Folk Victorian homes are relatively plain in its construction but embellished with decorative trim. Folk Victorian houses were built more commonly built for the middle class than the upper class. The style differentiates itself from other subsets of Victorian architecture (such as Queen Anne) by being less elaborate and having more regular floor plans.
Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973), also called LBJ, served as the 36th president of the United States from 1963-1969. A moderate Democrat and vigorous majority leader in the United States Senate, Johnson was elected vice president in 1960 and acceded to the presidency in 1963 upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. During his administration he signed into law the Civil Rights Act (1964), the most comprehensive civil rights legislation since the Reconstruction era, initiated major social service programs, and bore the brunt of national opposition to his vast expansion of American involvement in the Vietnam War.
Johnson City is the seat of Blanco County. The city was founded in 1879 by James Polk Johnson, uncle of Lyndon Johnson. Johnson City is located 47 miles (76 km) east of Austin, where the LBJ Presidential Library is located on main campus of the University of Texas.
The original home in Brooklyn, Iowa is gone, but the location is marked with a "Howdy Pilgrim" stone, a sign, and a metal likeness of him. His given name was Marion Morrison.
I wonder how many young trainspotters have stood at a spot like this and decided they wanted to be a Train Driver when they grew up?
Primed for the 80-odd mile sprint up to London the Driver of Deltic 55022 'Royal Scots Grey' looks for the 'right-away' signal from the Guard and platform staff at Peterborough. The train is the 8.05am York - Kings Cross (1A08).
This iconic class, once the most powerful diesel locomotive on British Railways, was by now being increasingly displaced from the top-link Anglo-Scottish expresses by the High Speed Trains, with the class destined to eke out their final years on the less salubrious routes of the Eastern Region - for instance Hull to London. It has to be said though this was much to the pleasure of both enthusiasts and passengers alike along these routes, the latter more than happy to enjoy the cascaded Mk2 air-conditioned carriage stock which came with the locomotives.
For this shot, taken almost 42 years ago to the day, I was chuffed when the driver poked his head out of the window. It wasn't entirely unexpected, but even so I didn't hang around crouching down and framing him to include Crescent Bridge in the background. Nice to tick that one off!
I wonder if anyone recognises him....

This was the boyhood home of a Kansas landowner. Even though the house is abandoned now, the roof was replaced recently with a 100 year roof -

In 1991 Nick Tanev, an immigrant to the United States from Bulgaria, presented to then Mayor James Dixon and the City of Dixon, the sculpture called "The Wings of Peace and Freedom." The presentation was made during a sister cities convocation of Dixonites and Russians who had come together in peace and friendship following years of conflict between the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union.
The sculpture is an expression of Mr. Tanev's gratitude to President Ronald Reagan for his part in ending the Cold War. Because Dixon was the President's boyhood home, Mr Tanev sought to award the town that had produced such a courageous and strong leader. Mr Tanev attributed his own success and good fortune to his having left the oppression of Bulgaria for the prosperity and hope he found in the United States of America. The sculpture is for his the very symbol of the joy and triumph he found in the peace and freedom of his adopted homeland.
From memory, this was the first car that featured in a poster on my wall when I was a schoolboy (back then it was in traditional red). Now, appropriately in gold to celebrate 50 years, this 1/18th scale model by Norev still looks sleek and desirable.

This 180 degree pano is four images stitched together and probably one of the cats knocked over a couple cans of paint on it in the workshop (of the imagination).

"In the lost boyhood of Judas
Jesus was betrayed..."
The words of this old poem always sends chills down my spine, because it is so true:
"In ancient shadows and twilights - where childhood had strayed
The World’s great sorrows were born and its heroes were made...
In the lost boyhood of Judas - Christ was betrayed."
This photo was taken an an exhibit in SL a long time ago, I think it might have been called "Two Fish" - it dealt with families and war and I remember it made a strong impression on me.
His family farm on this hollow just off Knob Creek was where Abe Lincoln said he could recall his first memories. This was the only place that he briefly had a formal education at a school.
I thought I would bring up a few of my many Plains, Ga shots. This small town will be getting some attention in the coming days.
Rest in peace, President Carter

I knew his boyhood home was small but I guess I never realized how small. Vernon Presley borrowed $180 and built this house with the help of his relatives. The house has only two rooms. When you go through the front door, you are entering the bedroom. The second room is the kitchen/eating area. If you had to do your business, you had to head outside to the outhouse.
Scan from negative. Came across this negative in searching my family's vast ANALOG archive for some family photos for a memorial service.
This image from 2004 (I believe) and one of my favorites of my three sons. This, one of a handful from that time that inspired me to pursue photography as a hobby. This capture made with a Canon 35mm point-and-shoot (sure shot). Unbelievably, this frame a one-off on the roll. Purchased my first DSLR in 2006 - a Canon 20D.
Yes, that John Muir! About 50 miles southwest of us is where John Muir's boyhood farm can be found. His father brought John over from Scotland in the late 1840's to some land he planned to farm in central Wisconsin. The land was wilderness.
In his writing about his youth, John described this lake, they called it Fountain Lake(later is was changed by the next owner to Ennis Lake), and the beautiful white and yellow waterlilies that ringed the lake.
The nearest neighbor was five miles away. When they arrived by oxcart, they put up an oak slab shack to live in. This is where John fell in love with all things natural---plant or animal. This passion led to his drive to establish National Parks and the Sierra Club.
Yesterday(March 23) we walked where John Muir walked. We walked around his lake(it was ice covered). We saw where his farmhouse was. We touched oak trees that were growing on their land when he was there.
All my heroes are environmentalists!
What a thrill! In my mind, I could feel his presence! We need him today!

A tired, worn out barn near my boyhood hometown now sits vacant during the late fall surrounded by acres of harvested corn fields. The “temporary” handiwork of a past farmer is illustrated by the patched roof, fading siding and uncovered openings on a couple of barn levels.
What caught my eye were the two pails on the ground near the open entrance on the front left. Though most city folks would drive by them without a glance, to me they brought back memories of countless morning and evening chores when I would use an aluminum scoop shovel to fill pails like this with ground corn out of our cement floor feed room and grab one pail in each hand and carry them about 20 yards through the barn into a small feed lot and dump them in wooden feeding troughs my dad built for the cattle to use as their dinner tables.
At the age of 10, the pails were heavy and cumbersome and by the time I had made my required eight or ten trips back and forth, my back would ache and my muscles threatened to go on strike. But in a few short years, my young man’s body began to muscle out and though I didn’t enjoy the labor each day, it was no longer a struggle physically to carry feed like this.
My recollection of the origin of these pails is hazy although a few were originally full of grease or other chemicals. Some were galvanized gray while others wore colors of deep blue, black or an occasional white and they were all old. During my formulative work years, none of the pails were plastic as tin ruled the day. Some pails had a wooden handle to make it easier on your hands to carry but years of use wore most of the wood away and left the remaining wire handles to do a job on tender hands.
Nearly every old farm kid I talk to has similar recollections of equipment they used to do their chores. Most of the farmers back in the 1950s were not very mechanized in their barn operations and depended on their resident labor force to keep it and the rest of the farm running smoothly.

Llangorse Lake, Brecon Beacons National Park, Powys, Wales, UK.
Llangorse Lake (Welsh: Llyn Syfaddon, variant: Llyn Syfaddan) is the largest natural lake in Wales, and is situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park, near to the town of Brecon and the village of Llangors.
The lake is famous for its coarse fishing (particularly pike), watersports, the afanc (nicknamed 'Gorsey') and the only example of a crannog in Wales. Llangorse Lake is also one of the most mentioned sites in Welsh folklore. It is a site of international conservation importance.
Due to the lake's long history of human activity, it has been known by several different names during its history, both in the Welsh language and in English: other names include the lake's original Welsh name, Llyn Syfaddon/Syfaddan, and Brycheiniog Mere. The name Llangorse Lake is comparatively recent.
