A price sign adorns the windshield of a 70 year old car, beckoning someone younger to restore it. Most of us cannot put a price on our own history as it was unique and not mass produced.

Scandinavian students, Democracy was born here! It is the ideal of the whole of Europe.
I love history and seeing and hearing about how others lived in the past. Lanyon Homestead was built in the 1850's, well before Canberra came into existence. In 1835 James Wright purchased a block of land along the banks of the Murrumbidgee alongside his friend John Lanyon and his brother William. They were allocated convicts to help with farming the land.

Phone used by former President Getulio Vargas, who on August 24, 1954 committed suicide in his quarters on strong pressure military coup.
Getulio recorded in your schedule, on the day August 23, 1954, Monday: "Since the ministry has not reached a conclusion, I will decide: Determine that the military ministers maintain public order if the order is maintained, I will come with the license application. otherwise, the rebels here find my dead body."
Place: The Catete Palace is located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was the seat of the Brazilian executive from 1897 to 1960. From that year, the seat of executive power was transferred to the newly founded city of Brasilia. From the 1970s, the palace has housed the Museum of the Republic, a position he continues to play to this day.

I shot this a few weeks ago and am just getting around to posting it. On this day, snow had started to fall but it had not covered this street yet, but......it is now!
There is something with the way
the shadows fall and the light plays off of the cobblestones that makes this pure magic for me. It is hard to not be completely overwhelmed by the deep sense of history that seems to exude from all of its pores. One of my top ten reasons for loving this city, Poznan.

Images of Australia 49/100 The Tree of Knowledge.
The Tree of Knowledge, located in the small outback town of Barcaldine, has an iconic place in Australian history.
In the 1870's shearers had to sign a contract to gain employment, but an excess of workers meant that owners were able to decrease the wage of shearers. In 1891, shearers began to go on strike, and this action quickly spread. Strike camps were set up and the tree became a meeting place for the strikers. Violence increased, some shearing sheds were burnt down and the Police took firm action. The strike leaders were arrested and sentenced to prison, lack of food, funds and bad weather caused the strike to be abandoned. Thus, over the years the tree became a symbol of a 'fair go, and fair wages for a fair days work'.
The tree itself is ghost gum and over the years suffered from insect attacks, termites and fungal diseases. Before its final death a small number of trees were grafted from it to keep the tradition alive. The tree itself was preserved and the current memorial built around it.
Editing the photograph as I have, was an attempt to portray both the historical and the current setting of the tree.
It feels like a brand new day, and I'm pleased to be in it. I am so happy for our country.

"Of the moral effects of the monuments themselves, standing as they do in the depths of a tropical forest, silent and solemn, strange in design, excellent in sculpture, rich in ornament, differing from the works of any other people, their uses and purposes, their whole history entirely unknown, with hieroglyphics explaining all, but perfectly unintelligible, I shall not pretend to convey any idea. Often the imagination was pained in gazing at them. The tone which pervades the ruins is that of deep solemnity. An imaginative mind might be infected with superstitious feelings."- 1843-John Lloyd Stephens

Built by farmer John P. Cable in 1867, Cable Mill gristmill is located along the Cade's Cove loop drive in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. Thanks to National Park Service renovation and maintenance, the mill operates today much as it did nearly 150 years ago, and corn meal ground at the mill can be purchased at the Cade's Cove Visitor Center seasonally.
I posted a shot of this mill from a different perspective earlier, shown in the first comment below. Today's view looks down the flume that carries water to the mill.

This pre- Celtic monument dates back to at least 5,000 BC and some of the stones placed in Astronomical alignment weigh up to 25 tons. Many had to be moved from at least 100 miles away in Wales. An amazing feat of engineering. A new theory is that it also represented a union of almost all Celtic tribes south of Scotland and it makes sense as it would take the work of thousands of people over 100 plus years to build. The side was actually once almost 10 times bigger with an edifice even 5 times larger. Before there were stones the pagans used lodge which may carbon date back as far as 10,000 BC. Easy to reach as day trip from London or via Salisbury, a lovely village town 30 minutes away.

The ruins of St. John's Episcopal Church in the town of Glen Allan, Washington County, Mississippi, USA. This church was built in the 1850s using slave labor. During the American Civil War, locals removed the stained glass windows to use the lead for bullets. The structure was wrecked by a tornado in 1904, and the ruins now sit among graves of the Greenfield Cemetery.
