The legend of the House
Annie Palmer is known as the ‘White Witch” and she was originally from England. However she had lived the better part of her life in Haiti.
She lost her parents to a bout of yellow fever and it was her nanny who was a practitioner of voodoo.
The nanny trained Annie and introduced her to the art of witchcraft.
Annie then shifted to Jamaica and got married. She married John Palmer in the year 1820. John Palmer owned the Rose Hall Plantation.
Annie was not an easygoing woman and the plantation housed around 2000 slaves as well as was a lucrative source of income.
However, Annie could not resist weilding her black magic powers to control the people living near her.
Annie lost her husband under mysterous circumstances. She later remarried twice however these two men too did not survive and it is commonly believed that Annie was the main cause of these unnatural deaths.
Annie used voodoo to scare the plantation workers and often slept with the male slaves. She later killed them.
When the slave uprising of the 1930 Annie’s lover Takoo killed her in bed. The legend also states that Takoo took this drastic step as Annie was supposedly attracted to Takoo’s son in law. However as Annie could not win him over she then practiced voodoo on Takoo’s child and later the child succumbed within a week.
There were rumors of mass deaths at the plantations. Annie also pushed her housekeeper out of her balcony. The poor slave broke her neck and eventually died.
There are rumors about Annie’s spirit still lives in the house and she roams around the plantation till date. Many Seances have been conducted in the premises in order to call on the spirit of Annie. Annie was barely five feet tall in height, however she still plays a vital role in the history of Jamaica.
I added jewels to my face because I found out that I did not know how to apply makeup & I don't like the cakeiness. It was also fun and reminded me of childhood. I also altered my face by taking off my glasses to make it more dramatic. I chose the background because it wasn't distracting. Also I posed in a way that aligned with the tree. Apparently, my eyebrows are sparse so I put jewels in that vicinity. I like the photo because I was playing around and joking throughout the shots. I look very relaxed and easygoing. It's quite a unique look with the jewels. I wanted to look satiated because in life, not every moment is poignant and extreme. Sometimes, it's the simple little everyday snippets that are our favorites looking back. It ties into being a junior and preparing for the next chapter. But this is different and special because it isn't obvious, so it makes me appreciate it more. Jarod helped take it/ press the button. The f-stop is 1.8 for a shallow depth of field and blur the background & there was sun on the sides + behind but I was semi-shaded by the tree. I thought this effect looked nice & ties me to the location. The shutter speed is very fast to avoid shakes. The iso is 200 because it was bright outside so I could lower it & reduce noise.
China. Yunnan.
Kunming.
The Huating Buddhist Temple is an ancient Buddhist temple that was originally a retreat for the local ruler, and is one of the major tourist attractions in the Western Hills area. Sitting at the foot of Mount Huating, it is one of the best-preserved Buddhist temples in Kunming. The 900-year-old temple was originally designed as a county temple for Gao Zhishen, Kunming's governor during the Song dynasty (1063AD). It was rebuilt as a Buddhist temple in the fourteenth century and it continued to grow and later became the largest Buddhist complex in Kunming. The main temple contains a trinity of gilded lacquer Buddhas seated on lotus thrones. It is characterized by blue hair, august gesture and sumptuous setting. Comparing with the serious Buddha, the 500 luohan on the sidewalls, similar to those in the Bamboo Temple, then appear frivolous and easygoing. Today, there still are some fine statues and excellent gardens.
