The shadow of history is never too far behind us.
At least, as long as we walk towards the light...

One view of Federal Mill #3, once the largest lead mine and processing plant in the world. At its height, 4500 people worked here. Now a Missouri state historic site, it includes a museum and additional exhibits, with more planned for the near future. A fascinating place, huge in scale, with many interesting photo opportunities.

On a day we went into town to meet up with the In Laws for a 50th Birthday dinner for me, we did a couple of the museum first. I've been wanting to take some wide angle shots in the Natural History Museum for awhile as the interior deserves it. But it was too cloudy outside and dull inside for a nice light. So I've converted some of them to black and white instead which have came out nicely. This is 'Hope' the skeleton of the blue whale hanging in the main hall.
This is not my first shot of the Roman Temple, however this one does redeem a clear perspective of what the temple is as a whole.

Oppenheim explores labour issues particular to the production of vintage lace in this meticulously detailed photogram. Once a highly prized luxury item lace was traditionally made by aristocratic women – for whom it was a refined accomplishment and a leisurely pursuit - or by nuns and domestic craftswomen, who were paid poorly for their piecework. When lace became mass-produced in the mid-19th century, it lost quality, value and prestige. The market that then emerged for handcrafted vintage lace encouraged the assemblage of large synthetic composites form Fragments of several rare designs, as seen in Oppenheimer’s print.

Remains of the Refectory at the 12c priory, Walsingham, Norfolk, Uk.
Walsingham rivalled Rome as one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world during Medieval times. The priory was wrecked in 1538 (Henry VIII) it remained this way for nearly 300 years. Restoration began in the 19th century, and today it is again a place of pilgrimage for many.
The decaying entranceway of the Male Pavilion at Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital in Germany. A young Adolph Hitler would have walked these very steps during his stay here after suffering injuries during the Battle of the Somme.

CSX graciously donated U25B 3416 to the B&O Museum in Baltimore upon retirement. Built as Louisville and Nashville 1616, the veteran GE did not fit the museum's "B&O" format and they douchebaggedly sold it for profit despite the donation and it languished in decay in Pennsylvania being parted out and slowly being scrapped.
In the late 2000s what was left of it finally made its way to the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum where it awaits funding to be properly restored as L&N 1616. At this time, it is there preserved for the future in a museum that actually appreciates history. The B&O Museum had been donated a Chesapeake and Ohio SD18 by CSX that they decided to sell off, in addition to donated PRR GG1 4890 and a South Shore 800 that they also sold off for profit.
Meanwhile, most of their one of a kinds sit in decay despite the influx of cash from selling off donated museum exhibits for profit. The mismanagement of the B&O Museum and misplaced priorities makes it a very sore subject for this former Baltimoron. The collection deserves better.

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into

Photographers are researchers and critics of architects. They look at the proportions, context and aura of buildings. Their professional niche is quite narrow, but within its framework they create works of art, research, as well as attractive pictures for the promotion and presentation of modern architectural firms.
The charming old Leamington Lift Bridge, reflecting in the waters of the Union Canal on a summer evening. Very fond of this old bridge and still enjoy seeing it being raised for boats to pass through - don't know why, but always find that quite satisfying.
The opposite side has a staircase, similar to the kind you used to see above rail tracks, so that even when the main bridge is raised, pedestrains can still cross by going up and over the steps (which also gives a good view!)
