A 90' drop in the Black Creek Gorge called Noccalula Falls is a popular destination and campground in Gadsden, Alabama. A ballroom was once operated in the cave behind the Falls, but efforts at expansion led to a partial collapse.
Named for a Cherokee Princess, legend (inscribed on a plaque behind the statue) purports that Noccalula was supposed to marry a warrior of the Creek tribe, as arranged by her father, a Cherokee tribal chief, to promote peace between the tribes. However, on her wedding day, she jumped from the rocks along the Gorge, rather than marry, for she had fallen in love with a Cherokee warrior of her own tribe.

The legendary 80 foot spire dubbed Long Dong Silver by climbers. The area has seen considerable damage from climbers and ORV. The ground crust is fragile so I tried to stay on paths already pounded in by others. Climbers of the spire will no doubt eventually lead to it's destruction. One description by a person who climbed it said, "As you hammer on pins the other side of the tower falls off." Wilbur is wearing a red coat and is the little figure you can see near the base of the spire. In the background, against the cliff, you can see the Angel of Death, another spire.
This is a common phenomenon in Autumn, Winter and Spring as long as it's cool and clear in the morning. Fujifilm Super HR-70 microfilm processed in Bergger PMK
Legendary stories aside, this stone circle stands beneath Belstone Tor in the moorland hill landscape of Dartmoor National Park. It is a cairn circle, or kerbed circle, that would have surrounded a central burial cist known on Dartmoor as a kistvaen.
Various legends or folk lore are attributed to this circle but they revolve around the idea of people having been turned to stone for dancing on a Sunday. No doubt stories told by those who wanted to frighten others to control them in order to strengthen their own position of power in society. Nothing much changes!!

The Deauville American Film Festival (French: Festival du cinéma américain de Deauville) is a yearly film festival devoted to American cinema, which has taken place since 1975 in Deauville, France.
It was established by Lionel Chouchan, André Halimi, and then Mayor of Deauville Michel d'Ornano, with support from the Groupe Lucien Barrière in providing a luxurious setting for the Festival.[3] Although not competitive at its origin, the festival began to award prizes for feature films in 1995 and short films in 1998.

1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K Wins Best in Show at Greenwich Concours
By Jeff Peek / Hagerty.com
Michael and Joannie Rich were looking for just the right car, and in the end, the right car found them. It proved to be a match made in concours heaven. The Pennsylvania couple’s one-off 1927 Mercedes-Benz Model K was chosen Best in Show at Sunday’s 25th Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, which returned to Roger Sherman Baldwin Park after a two-year hiatus.
“It came to us sort of by chance,” Michael says. “I was approached by somebody in the car world who said they had a neat car that I might be interested in. What really interested me was its Fleetwood body. Obviously, there are many coach builders, but it was from a place that’s only a half-hour down the road from us … a place I’d visited. I mean, the factory is still there. There’s a just a tremendous amount of history out of the Fleetwood factory. That’s what really attracted me to it—plus it’s the only one in existence.”
The car’s original owner, William Sloan of Rochester, New York, saw legendary Hollywood actor Rudolph Valentino’s Fleetwood-bodied Isotta Fraschini Roadster at the 1926 New York Auto Salon and fell in love with it. Except he wanted it on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. The car had been repainted in the decades that followed—Michael described it as “a pretty car with an ugly paint job”—and the Riches wanted to restore it back to how it looked when it rolled out of the Fleetwood factory. They entrusted the job to Steve Babinsky and Automotive Restorations in Lebabon, New Jersey.
“It was fun doing the restoration because we could visit it from time to time. I remember when it was down to a frame,” Joannie says. “We discussed the colors, and when we finally found the original color, we looked at each and said, ‘It’s interesting … not one I would pick.’ We sort of toyed back and forth about what we were going to do, and we decided if we were going to do it, we’d do it as it was.”
That proved to be a great decision. The Greenwich Concours d’Elegance is only its fourth public showing.
“The car world has a belief system, and the belief system is that certain cars are just super important, deserving of celebration and recognition,” says McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, which owns the event. “The Mercedes-Benz Model K selected as best in show represents that greatness—one that the judges recognized following significant deliberation.”
The short-wheelbase (130 inches) Model K is powered by a 6.2-liter, switchable supercharged (kompressor) six-cylinder engine. From the right side of the bonnet/hood emerged three metal exhaust pipes merging at the lower edge to a single exhaust. This detail later became a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz supercharged cars.
“It’s a special car,” Joannie says. “I get so much enjoyment out of watching people’s reaction to it. They have so many questions. It’s been a lot of fun.”
Michael thanked his father “for getting me into this mess.”
“It’s a hobby,” Joannie jokingly corrected him.
“A mess, a hobby, organized chaos … I just wish he was here to see this.”
Something tells us he would be smiling.
Bobby Carcassés now seldom picks up his horn, his main instrument, when he was younger. He played piano, sang and even danced. Bobby Carcassés is an 85 year old jazz legend from Cuba. The founder of the Havana Jazz Festival, Bobby has been dubbed “the Guru of Afro-cuban Jazz” and has played with heavyweights like Bud Powell, Jane Bunnett, Tito Puente and Kenny Clarke and of course with his countrymen Chucho Valdes, Carlos Emilio Morales and Paquito D’ Rivera.
At Havana Jazz Festival, he was the centerpoint of musical revue; a showcase of his best fifty, or there about, musical friends. Bobby was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1938. I had a pleasure to meet him after the concert, as some Canadian friends introduced me.

635 days in ice: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage (by Alfred Lansing)
In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the 'Endurance' and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of 27 men.
635 Tage im Eis: Die Shackleton-Expedition (by Alfred Lansing)
Am Anfang steht der Plan von der erstmaligen Durchquerung des weißen Kontinents. Doch das gewaltige Naturwunder Antarktis wird im Jahr 1915 für die Crew der 'Endurance' zur Hölle aus Eis. Beharrlich verfolgt Expeditionsleiter Sir Ernest Shackleton bald nur noch ein Ziel: 27 Männer lebend wieder in die Zivilisation zurückzubringen.
Surrounded by silver birch trees, it is thought that this ancient oak tree - planted during the reign of Henry Vlll - inspired the legendary character Treebeard in JRR Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings. Tolkien lived nearby at the time and would regularly walk these woods.
The tree is natural and has not been adapted which makes it even more amazing.
