"I don't wanna get out of bed
I don't want to go out in the snow
we don't have to do the things Eskimos do
Lets have a hibernation day, me and you"
-Jars of Clay
I wear this hat constantly (yes, even to bed) so I thought it deserved a little tribute :)
Hiscock House in Trinity, Newfoundland. Built in 1881. A Provincial Historic Site, it's open for tours in the summer.
I couldn't resist a shot of this great heritage home in winter light. This shot shows the main house with a portion of the shop to the right. A beautiful home in a beautiful community, arguably the nicest town in the province. More information here:
The Hiscock House Provincial Historic Site is a complex of connected, late nineteenth century buildings comprised of a house, a shop and cellar, situated within the community of Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
The Hiscock House is designated a Provincial Historic Site because it has aesthetic and historic values. The Hiscock House is aesthetically valuable as it is an example of nineteenth century outport vernacular architecture. Built in 1881 for Richard Hiscock this complex of buildings comprised several structures that were necessary for everyday life at that time, including the house, shop, wood house, cellar, barn, forge and outhouse. Of these, only the house, shop and cellar remain today.
The house has a steeply pitched gable roof with returned eaves, two end chimneys located above the ridge and a central scotch dormer located above the eaves line. This wooden house is constructed with narrow wooden clapboard, wide corner boards and wooden roof shingles. The regular fenestration of the 6/6 wooden windows is further emphasized by the wide, but plain, wooden trim. The front door is recessed and has a wooden pediment.
The associated shop is attached via a corridor addition, which is accessible through the house and there are two separate entrances for the public. The roof slopes steeply forward as a shed roof, but has a flat roof over the top of the building. As is typical for a commercial building, the shop has two large storefront windows and a recessed doorway with two long, narrow windows and a panelled door. This shop mirrors the attached house with narrow wooden clapboard, wide corner boards and plain window and door trim. The cellar remains as it was originally built, located at the back of the property.
The Hiscock House is historically valuable because it is a good surviving example of a typical merchant’s family home. Constructed in 1881, this house was built in anticipation of the marriage of Richard Hiscock and his future wife, Emma. This property remained in the Hiscock family until 1978 when the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador purchased it. Most of the artifacts within the property are original and these buildings are well suited to telling the story of a nineteenth and twentieth century merchant family. The house and shop have been restored as a community museum to highlight the story of the self sufficiency of Emma Hiscock, who became widowed not long after her marriage. Emma was able to support herself and her family, and keep them together, educate them and maintain a position in the community in spite of her circumstances. The Hiscock House has undergone many changes and renovations in its history, as Emma Hiscock used her resourcefulness to operate a post office and a bank from the property. The Hiscock House stands as a reminder of the resilience of an outport woman who was faced with the difficulties of early twentieth century life, and succeeded.

That sad day when the hammock and the deck umbrella go back into the shed to be protected from the snow and ice until the next warm rays can hit them. In seven or eight months....... siiiiiigh. via 500px ift.tt/2y5eCGS

This vehicle was new to Redwing Reliance, London and served with Maclennan Coaches, Stornoway before passing to Hebridean Transport in October 2019.
Also found this rather tatty Comma butterfly warming up. Looks quite battered, must have been hibernating in the hedge

この夏休み、新潟の実家近くにある生産を停止した繊維工場を訪れた。自分が子供のころから朝昼晩と24時間稼働し続けていた織機、今は動くことはなく長年の疲れを癒すように静かに眠っていた。

In this captivating photograph, an empty marina lies frozen in the heart of winter. The off-season has left the boat slips vacant, while a delicate hoarfrost adorns the trees, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The still and calm scene is further enhanced by the subtle sea smoke wafting from the unfrozen part of the river nearby. The tranquil beauty of this icy, serene landscape captures the essence of a marina in hibernation, awaiting the return of boating season.
For several years, PYM 108F has been stored away out of the public gaze, whilst friend and fellow flickrite 'Berresfordsmotors' owns sister 106 as part of our 'Fantasy Fleet'. The two coaches started life in 1968 working for high class London based touring company Glenton, with whom the antiquated centre entrance position became synonymous. In later life too, the pair worked together for Clive Screaton's Northwich based Grand Edwardian Touring Co. until closure of that business.
108 has been in store now for about three years but has recently been evicted from a third party's parking facility. The present owner isn't now sure what to do with it as inevitably, it's timber framed Plaxton Panorama 1 body is in need of some tlc.
In vastly better condition than last week's Small Tortoiseshell, this Peacock butterfly (Aglais io) was taking the sun after its winter dormancy.

Fujichrome Sensia II 100, expired
f/2.8 1/60 s, exposed like ISO 50
Exposed 27.1.2022. digitized with DSLR
ISO 50 was a bit too much compensation, the film had still ISO 100, but it got a clear purple color cast, which I tried to correct in Darktable.
