Exmore. deep in Eastern Shore, Virginia, blossomed as a transportation hub for agriculture when the railroad came down in the 1880s (more on the history in a future post). This beautiful building is zoned commercial, but looks to have been a home when built, in 1920. The architectural style baffles me. I'd call it ecletic American foursquare, but I'm making that up. Your thoughts?
Busy little classic diner! I had liver and onions with gravy fries, and Mary Ann had a chicken salad club sandwich. If you find yourself in Exmore, VA you should stop in!
The pure extent of the stars you can see in the dark sky zone on Exmore is absolutely amazing. Will always stay here for hours. #starsstars #astrophotographers #exmore #devon #sony #beauty

Exmore, Virginia Eastern Shore began developing as a transportation center and commercial hub in the southern reaches of the Delmarva Peninsula when the railroad came in the late 1800s. In 1910, things had progressed to the point that Benjamin's Department Store was built, a rare sight on the Eastern Shore. The unusually shaped building is pictured in these two photos; it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is described there as being late Victorian/Italianate in architecture. Exmore continued to thrive for years, but, surprisingly, the opening of the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tunnel, which connected mainland Virginia directly to the southern tip of peninsula, sent Exmore into decline. Traffic could now readily cross over to Eastern Shore Virginia, but it would then speed up the new highway that bypassed Exmore (by the equivalent of just four or five blocks). That sent the commerce of Exmore into decline, also making the railroad less important (it eventually ceased operations). At some point, the department store was sold to the Peebles chain, and ultimately was closed. Exmore is a shadow of its former self, but is showing signs of renewal these days.
With Gorse flower background, Exmore. I will be away for a few days, taking the M-I-L, back to Yorkshire!
A whole group of these ponies are left to run on Westleton Heath each summer to keep the undergrowth in check. I stumbled on these two and as they didn't bolt thought I would capture their presence on the heath.
The Exmoor pony, together with the Przewalski horse, is one of the last breeds of wild primordial ponies. Originally, this type of pony was found throughout northwest Europe, but only in the southwest of England, in Exmoor, have the primitive characteristics not been completely eradicated by breeding with other horse breeds. The Exmoor pony is named after the area where they have been found for centuries. The Exmoor area is very hilly and consists largely of heathland and marshes. Most Exmoor ponies are still found here, although they are also bred elsewhere by private individuals. The breed is one of the oldest pony breeds from England and is probably one of the best preserved wild ancestors of the domesticated pony and horse breeds. Since the 1990s, the Exmoor pony has also been kept on a limited scale in Dutch nature reserves. This photo has been taken on Goudplaat, Noord-Beveland.
Windswept and resting on a coastal cliff amongst the gorse, this free roaming pony and his friends were indifferent to my presence and didn't turn his head once to look my way!!
The Exmoor pony is a horse breed native to the British Isles, where some still roam as semi-feral livestock on Exmoor, a large area of moorland in Devon and Somerset in southwest England. The Exmoor has been given "endangered" status by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, and "threatened" status by The Livestock Conservancy. It is one of the British Isles' mountain and moorland pony breeds, having conformation similar to that of other cold-weather-adapted pony breeds. The Exmoor pony is hardy and used for a variety of equestrian activities. In its free-roaming state, the breed's presence on Exmoor contributes to the conservation and management of several natural pasture habitats.

Situated in the south west of Britain, Exmoor National Park contains an amazing variety of landscapes within its 267 square miles (692 square kilometers). A unique landscape of moorland, woodland, valleys and farmland, shaped by people and nature over thousands of years. Where high cliffs plunge into the Bristol Channel, and cosy pubs and tearooms offer delicious local produce.
As a kid I had a set of German building blocks that let you construct buildings that looked a lot like this. I've liked this style ever since.

Trust me with out fear
