Fort Hancock began as a military establishment named Camp Rice in 1882, along the San Antonio-El Paso Road. Camp Rice had formerly been located at Fort Quitman, and had been established by troops of the 10th U.S. Cavalry "buffalo soldiers". Camp Rice did not grow after moving to this community, and rarely hosted more than 60 men. It was renamed Fort Hancock in 1886 after the death of General Winfield Scott Hancock, a hero of the Battle of Gettysburg. The fort was damaged in a flood that year, but rebuilt. It was damaged again by fires in 1889, then abandoned in 1895.[4]
A post office was established in 1886, with Albert Warren as postmaster. In 1887, a new railroad depot was built at Fort Hancock, and by 1890, a town had grown up around it and had a population of 200, a general store, a hotel, and a meat market.
By 1914, the population of the town had dropped to 50, though by 1940, it had increased to 500.[5]

A very kind dragonfly for staying still and letting me shoot him in any angle, hihi!

The magic of winter has returned to our area after about 8 inches of fresh soft snow. I was alright with earthy browns, but this is quite beautiful.
Fresh snow, long shadows, no tracks and pristine blue skies is a welcome change to our world.

I visited the Hancock Museum in Newcastle last week and as today is Sunday, I decided to combine a few of the exhibits I saw - HSS!

A long exposure shot from the Hancock from my files that I really didn't like because I got part of the beam outside of the observatory in the frame. So it was in the external drive limbo for a year or so. Anyways, I was bored last night so I thought of giving it a faux-HDR treatment. It turned out to be nice a cityscape. I think it saved it from going into the trash bin.
Comic genius and a favourite son of Birmingham. I remember listening to his radio shows in my youth, before I saw him on tele. (The radio shows were always better I felt) Like many comedians Tony Hancock also had a dark side and I feel that comes across in this Birmingham sculpture. Lugubrious is probably the word I’m looking for…
By the time the shuttle load got into Council Bluffs, BICB was waiting at Hillis for another track warrant. Unfortunately when they got another warrant, the clouds from some advancing storms had already rolled in.

I've been meaning to get back here for a more aggressive angle of the John Hancock with some cloud movement. This was a crucial exposure because the sun was directly in the frame (top left) and catching the tail end of this cloud bank allowed me to get some blue sky with the sun covered. I got 5 or 6 exposures before I got kicked out by security, I had no problem leaving because I knew already I got the shot. This one was super difficult to get lined up properly in a sea of people waiting to cross the street.
