Picked up a few things on my walk today and brought them home, added a couple of things from my garden and laid them out on a slate topped wall.
Day 6 of the Pentax Forums Single In March challenge using the 07 Pinhole lens on the Pentax Q7 camera
The couch was conveniently left as was the bed and springs in the back room. Voila! A furnished flat ready for your immediate occupancy! Glass in the boarded up windows is presently on order.Daily inoculated by UV, there is not a speck of Trumpandemic-19 to be found.
At the time, I was returning to an agricultural series on my return from my eDDie sunflower trek. Early, I grabbed my gear immediately and bailed out east on SH #66 toward I-25 but turned north on back road #7 to scout for anything of interest. I grabbed some floral tributes to early morning while there. On my way to sunflower overload, I spotted a few items of rural interest and decided to return on the same route at a sane speed. I found captures that interested me as long as I had plenty of time to poke. Now I feel that I should have been even pokier while managing to avoid the pokey at cruising speed.
I was blasted by sunflowers before but we had a hazy sky due to some degree of moisture and a large load of "fake" smoke from California and Colorado wildfires. I heard that is no smoke from wildfires in California because der Leader has decried "global warming" as fake news. It must be something else entirely but boy is it thick. Damn, it's really hot even this early in the morning. It was early in the day but it was starting to slug me down. It was smart to bring my Propel hydration.
Although a plain shot, this old derelict shack was more poorly built than others but has yet to tumble and I love this old exterior wood grain and its patina on the humble house that held against the prairie winds in its past. The shack has accumulated old farming implements and other collected detritus outside. It looks like the California smog is moving on east for the edification of Kansan global warming hoaxers. They await the Sturgis flu... another week to go!
After several shots, I am now on my way back to highway #66 and to Logmont before it gets really hot and I empty the rest of my hydration. Yesterday was another hoax warming bummer and we pray for September relief until the fake global warming ramps up worse next summer. Real global warming reared its head this August with 2 days below normal, one normal and the rest above. That means we can spend next year under AC fueled by fossils while waiting for the END and the end of the first Trumpandemic surge in the US. I suppose that you could get cheap boarding in this rural shack but it is reserved for migrant labor. It may no longer have any utilities connected - or heating. That is not the problem this summer as is sleeping. The entire property will eventually be razed for planting a new corn field. This is another of the captures I snapped east of the city limits which extend ever further. Ahhh well, this is another leftover glimpse of the old Colorado west. Boarding-wise, you could get a bit nippy in the winter.
This became one of my most tangled edits using layers and one reversal of an Alpha layer. I had to change my normal layers order. It became a major time drain until I finished.

Mesquite Flat Dunes in Death Valley National Park are made up of tiny grains of quartz and feldspar that form sinuous sculptures, particularly at sunset when the low light casts shadows on the rippled sand.
Reclaimed marsh land now sits behind sea defences, even the trees are young.
The Wash is the square-mouthed bay and estuary on the northwest margin of East Anglia on the east coast of England, where Norfolk meets Lincolnshire. It is among the largest estuaries in the United Kingdom and is fed by the Rivers Witham, Welland, Nene and Great Ouse.

I couldn't decide between color and B&W what do you think?
The Bonneville Salt Flats are all that's left of the historic Lake Bonneville, a giant lake rivalling Lake Michigan in size that included the current Great Salt Lake.
Now all that remains is potash salt, which during summer is dry and solid but in winter is covered in a small amount of water.
This was taken in early Spring and the water has yet to dry.
The most famous claim to fame of this area is the Bonneville Speedway, a few miles away where many Land Speed Records have been set.
I had one of those days where I felt like I was all over the place and completely unproductive. Except by the time I headed home, I realized that I had actually gotten quite a bit done. Scheduled a shoot with an old friend and soccer teammate who is coming into town next month, visited with my mom, and got some new content written in my story. So not a bad Friday, all things considered.
Though I'm still glad it's evening and I'm home relaxing. My sore throat is asking for wine and they frown upon that in the coffee shop.
Moa nahele, Flat-stemmed whiskfern
Psilotaceae (Whiskfern family)
Indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands (Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi Island)
Photo: Hawaiʻiloa Ridge Trail, Oʻahu
The Hawaiian name Moa nahele literally means "forest chicken." Moa is chicken, referring to a chickens' comb, and reference to the fronds. Nahele is forest.
It is less common than Psilotum nudus in the islands, but still easy to find in the right environment.
Early Hawaiian children would play a simple game of moa nahele (lit., chicken vegetation). Plants in Hawaiian Culture explains how this game was played: “Two children sat or stood facing one another, each holding a branched stem of moa. These they interlocked and then slowly pulled apart until the branches of one broke. The other child, without broken branches, was the winner and announced his victory by crowing like a rooster (moa).” One of the names ʻoʻō moa in fact means "cock's crow."
Moa was also used in lei making by early Hawaiians.
Moa (Psilotum spp.) was used for kūkae paʻa (constipation) in newborn babies and elderly men and women. It was also mixed with other plants to treat akepau (tuberculosis, consumption), and various respiratory conditions. Additionally, extracts from moa were used as laxatives. The yellow spores were used for diarrhea in infants and used like talcum powder to prevent chafing from loincloths.
Etymology
The generic name is from the Greek psilos, naked or smooth, alluding to the smooth aerial stems without leaves.
The specific epithet complanatum is from the Latin complanatus, flattened, in reference to flattened stems of this species.
This is Moses Cone and his wife Bertha's home in Blowing Rock, NC. Moses Cone was an entrepreneur, philanthropist and conservationist who manufactured textiles at his facility in Greensboro.
Flat Top Manor was built at the turn of the century in the Victorian Neo-Classical Style. Building materials including the gaslights, telephone and central heating system had to be hauled 20 miles from Lenoir, NC by horse drawn wagons. The house cost $25,000 to build at a time when $200 was the median for a habitable structure. The country estate comprises 23 rooms and 13,000 square feet with leaded glasses windows and dormers and a single lane bowling alley.
Moses Cone did not get to enjoy his country retreat very long. In 1908 he died, 7 years after the home was completed. His wife outlived him by 39 years and upon her death in 1947 the estate was bequeathed to the Moses Cone Hospital who then later turned it over to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is now a national heritage site and the most visited along the expanse of scenic roadway.
There are 25 miles of carriage roads throughout the grounds, plus hiking trails, 2 man-made lakes and apple orchards. It sits at milepost 294 along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
