The historic district comprised of Flat Top Estate, now Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, is significant at the state level under National Register Criterion A as an example of a Country Place era estate. At Flat Top, Moses Cone established a gentleman's country retreat in the style of those established by American captains of industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The historic district is one of the largest and best preserved country estates in western North Carolina, incorporating a large manor house surrounded by orchards, pastures, meadows, lakes and other constructed water features, roads, and forests. The historic district is also significant at a state level under National Register Criterion B in the area of industry for its historic association with Moses Cone, who revolutionized textile manufacturing in the South, and particularly in North Carolina, during the late nineteenth century. In partnership with his brother Ceasar, Moses Cone reorganized the marketing of textiles by southern textile mills and introduced the manufacture of denim in the South. The entrepreneurial efforts of Moses Cone during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries throughout the southeast region affected this industry throughout the country. The historic district is nationally significant under National Register Criterion C in the area of landscape architecture for the planning of the estate, in particular the extensive network of carriage roads and associated plantings designed by Moses Cone. The carriage roads are among very few such systems in private estates ofthis period in this country; represent extensive and careful design and planning; and remain nearly intact today. The historic district also includes the Colonial Revival style manor house, significant at the state level in the area of Architecture. The association of the Flat Top Estate Historic District with the Blue Ridge Parkway, and its role as a recreational area along the parkway, are not considered as part of this nomination. The structures of Flat Top Estate are closely related to the surrounding environment. Archeological remains, such as trash pits, privies, wells, and other structural remains which may be present, can provide information valuable to the understanding and interpretation of the contributing structures. Information concerning land-use patterns, agricultural practices, social standing and social mobility, as well as structural details, is often only evident in the archeological record. Therefore, archeological remains may well be an important component of the significance of the structures. At this time very limited investigation has been done to discover these remains, but it is likely that they exist, and this should be considered in any development of the property.

Salty Mud Flats comprise a vast majority of the shoreline in White Rock Bay on Antelope Island State Park in Salt Lake, Utah. I had to be very careful where I stepped, not wanting to get my boots too muddy. My original compositional idea was to have a certain rock formation in the foreground for this panorama, but as the sun set I noticed that the muddy flats were a beautiful and unique reflective foreground in themselves.
I loved this evening's sunset/moonrise. The mountains in the distance, covered in a beautiful fog layer to the south, the colors of the clouds in the sky reflecting on the shore, and full moon behind me all combine to make magic. I didn't just observe this sunset, I took part in it.
This is a panoramic image created from 6 vertical HDR frames. Each HDR frame was created from 3 RAW images using Photomatix Pro and Photoshop CS4.

Flat Bobby's original Dutch wooden shoes are in the making. But making wooden shoes is a complex craft. First they have to be carved out of wood as shown by Flat Bobby right here. They need to rest after carving, because the wood can be 'working' still and sometimes these wooden shoes split for no reason. So a rest is in order. Then they have to be painted. Normally they will be painted in traditional patterns. Finally they get a glossy finish for protection against the weather. And then we have to find Flat Bobby a minipair that would fit him! That is no small thing. The wooden shoes are bought and payed for, but as you can see with your own eyes, there is still a lot of work to be done before Bobby will be walking in them...
This Flat Bobby trip is part of Amber's second grade class project. Check out his travels and contact StarrGazr if you can help him travel the world.
Used for church services in 1870s and as the school 1879 until school built 1922.
“TENDERS are hereby invited for the ERECTION of a COUNCIL CHAMBER at FARRELL'S FLAT. Plans and Specification may be seen at Mr. Hudson's Store, Farrell’s Flat, and at my Office. . . JAMES CUMMING, Architect.” [Northern Argus 12 Sep 1873]
“The Rev. Howitt, of Kooringa, conducted a Church of England service in the District Council-chamber on Sunday to a fair congregation. It was quite a treat, and as soon as it is known that similar services -will be held every month I have no doubt we will have good congregations.” [Northern Argus 9 Mar 1877]
“The Wesleyans being in treaty for the sale of their church here to the Bible Christian denomination are expected soon to discontinue services. At present the Bible Christians hold services in the Council Chamber.” [Chronicle 17 Nov 1877]
“It was decided to recommend the District Council Chamber as a schoolhouse, and if the attendance is sufficient, a teacher's residence is to be built.” [Chronicle 31 Aug 1878]
The people who worked at the store were really confused why I was taking all the pink things and taking pictures (without buying anything...)
From Spray falls I took 161 south to 7, fueled up in Morton and bought a sandwich. In short order HW12 took me to 131/25 and I was on my way and going to make it. But I passed an older couple in a Subaru with a flat tire and stopped to help them. Back on the road after that I realized that I was going to make Panther Creek right around sunset. That wouldn’t work. I racked my brain for an alternate waterfall and at mile 22 it hit me. Camp creek! This is one of my favorite waterfalls. And it was well within driving distance before sunset. I turned around and drove back to Camp creek, parked, pulled on my Chest waders and water-sandals, grabbed my gear and headed a ¼ mile down the trail. I found an easy way down to the base of the falls. It didn’t seem to be getting dark but my shutter times were much longer than normal.
I’ve been to Camp creek falls twice now and each time I’ve been there I’ve had a feeling I was being watched. Never had this with any other waterfall. Don’t know what it is about this waterfall.

Killdeers are some of the most annoying birds, always screaming and running near you on the ground. Well I found the area this one's nest was at so I could get a photo of it doing it's little defense dance. They act hurt to try and get you to go towards them and away from the nest.
In an area of Brooklyn, where a few blocks walk could take you to three different neighborhoods of Brooklyn: Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy, or Williamsburg.
