This is Graeme Park. Construction on the manor house started in 1722 for Provincial Governor of Pennsylvania, Sir William Keith. Originally called ‘Fountain Low” because of its many natural springs, the property served as a summer residence and contained not only the large stone mansion but also a ‘long house” for servants, a barn, a malt house and several smaller dependencies on more than 1,700 acres. In 1739 Fountain Low was purchased by Dr. Thomas Graeme, husband of Ann Diggs, the governor’s stepdaughter. As a respected doctor, Judge of the Supreme Court, and Port Physician for the city of Philadelphia, Graeme wanted a residence for summer entertaining which reflected his social prominence.
Today Graeme Park is administered for the Commonwealth by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and supported by the Friends of Graeme Park.

The Estey House dates to the last quarter of the 18th century. The house was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1786. Captain Moses Estey was a chair maker and veteran of the Revolution. The Georgian-style house was modeled after the Ford Mansion in Morristown, New Jersey. The house was moved in 1968 from downtown Morristown to its present location at Historic Speedwell after being threatened by demolition as part of an urban renewal project.
Historic Speedwell in Morristown preserves the estate of Stephen Vail, proprietor of the Speedwell Iron Works from the early to mid-1830s. Additionally, the site includes the factory building where Alfred Vail and Samuel F.B. Morse demonstrated a perfected electromagnetic telegraph to the public for the first time in January 1828.

"You hear strange whisperings among the tree tops, as if the giants were taking counsel together. One after another, nodding and swaying, calling and replying, spreads the news, until all with one accord break forth into glorious song, welcoming the first grand snowstorm of the year...."

This image told me to post it, quite without any warning, so I am a bit at a loss for anything much to add in terms of wordage. I was browsing through one of my folders, looking at thumbnails, seeing what was what, making sure everybody was behaving themselves and this one jumped at me. I have three (or so I thought) good shots in this series, two of which I have posted so far, and this one now makes four. Honestly I forgot I ever even took such a photo. Looking at it now, I recognize it as one I took and remember when and where, but this is a shot that never stuck with me. Good thing I at least scanned it in, otherwise I may or may not have ever found it and brought it to the light of day. I tell fellow photographers this quite a bit, to constantly at decent intervals go spelunking back through your old photos, see where you have been and what you have done. You will no doubt find some forgotten gems. See, usually we like to look at our photos right away. The need for instant gratification and to relive those places we just were is often too much to resist. This is also an area where digital photography can be a bit dangerous, but more on that in a moment. Anyway, we tend to look at our photos if not the same day or the next, at least within the week. The anticipation, the excitement, we just have to. Yippee, new photos. At the same time though, when we look at photos while we have the memories of those places and moments so fresh, we judge those photos with a different set of criteria and sometimes this causes otherwise great photos to be sifted through because they do not have what we were looking for at that moment. This happens to me a great deal. I shoot, play with my favorites, move on and shoot more. Every six months or so I go back and look through old prints and sure enough suddenly I have a new appreciation for photos I previously had passed up. Sometimes I even end up liking them better than others from the same roll that made the initial cut.
I warn about digital here, because it is so easy to delete photos. Usually a couple of button presses and that file is gone forever. And which photos get deleted? Well of course the ones we don't like.... at that time. But what about later? How many of those photos that get wiped away to nothing may have proven of worth at some later point in time in some currently unimaginable way. For me this is one advantage of working in a photo lab, because everything gets printed, every roll, every negative. And I keep all those prints. Sure they stack up, but that is what closets are for, right? Hehe ahem hmmm... Even the digital images I shoot though, I keep everything. Even the blurry or out of focus shots, sometimes I like those the best. You just never know when your aesthetics might shift, or a building is demolished and that previously mundane shot you took of it has new meaning, or a relative passes away and that slightly underexposed shot of them eating turkey at Thanksgiving becomes an irreplaceable image. Keep everything, delete and throw away nothing, and brush the dust off of those old prints now and then and go back through your photographs. They do after all represent moments you have lived and breathed, and hopefully good ones at that. Remind yourself, you never know what you will find.
Ok, so maybe I did think of something to say... ;-) I just have to say, I love the curve of the hill from left to right in this photo.
I rescanned my negs made in 2015, Ireland -The Burren, and did some work on it. It came out sharper than in 2015.

One minute exposure of Bodie Island Lighthouse using a combo of a10-stop and red filter. Shot on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 with a Pentax 6x7 with the Pentax 67 SMC 105mm f/2.4. Developed in xtol (1:1) and scanned on my Epson V600.
High atop Shade Mountain in Snyder County, Pennsylvania stands Mt Pigsah Altar. It was built by Robert Cryan of Beaver Springs in 1979 and offered to the public as a place where people could come and worship quietly or hold marriage ceremonies with a breathtaking view of 25-30 miles. This was my first outing with this particular pinhole camera in over a year and with the film sitting in the camera for that long, it developed a "fat roll" which led to some light leaks. Lessons learned. Load the film, shoot the film and don't let it sit for protracted periods of time.
