A quick test - taking a little planet without a tripod. I made a ground-plate which is secured using 3 large tent pegs that take a fair bit of hammering to secure.
Interesting viewpoint I think.
i don't know about the sweat and tears and i'm not nostalgic but i get the idea this was a place kids felt comfortable and thought of as their own, a place to socialise and paint... Hullo Brighton Council!
Massive, towering, moss-covered trees, with roots as tall as a man, dominate this amazing, lush rain forest. Thick vines cable down from high above. The mist filled air is heavily populated by insect life. Huge-leafed plants and ferns fill the spaces on the jungle floor between giant, mossy logs and stumps. Rocky outcrops can be found on steep hillsides, valleys lead down to wide rivers, some of which are fed by powerful waterfalls. The flora begins to thin out as you approach the woodland hills.
With the bottom of the old corn crib I hope to make a bigger cage for the big birds, We are waiting to see what kind of top we can put on it.

The Whittell Estate is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A, B, and C at the state level. It meets criteria consideration G for properties that have achieved significance within the last 50 years under criteria A and B.
Under criterion A, the property is significant for its association with several different periods of the land development and use at Lake Tahoe including the development of Lake Tahoe as a resort area for the wealthy; the "One Sound State" campaign of the early 1930s; and the role of conservation in protecting lakeside property from development in order to preserve the natural conditions and to provide recreational opportunities. For its critical part in the ongoing conservation and environmental restoration of Lake Tahoe, one of the country's natural scenic treasures, the Whittell Estate meets criteria consideration G at the state level.
Under criterion B, the property is significant for its association with George Whittell Jr. and the Whittell family, a prominent California and Nevada mining family. George Whittell Jr. was a colorful, socially prominent, investor who managed substantial commercial holding in San Francisco and at one time controlled almost the entire Nevada shoreline of Lake Tahoe. Whittell's control of much of the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe and his resolute opposition to development of his property contributed to the conservation of the vital portions of Lake Tahoe's shoreline. For its association with Whittell, the property meets criteria consideration G at the state level.
Under criterion C, the property is significant as one of the last and best examples of a great residential estate on Lake Tahoe from the period in which prominent San Francisco society built homes on Lake Tahoe; as an outstanding example of an approach to architectural design that is intended to be in harmony with its setting; as a representative example of a high of level building crafts stone masonry, iron work, and wood work; and as an example of the work of Frederic J. DeLongchamps, who served as Nevada State Architect and who was Nevada's most prominent architect.
The property retains a high degree of design integrity in the layout, spatial organization, and overall design characteristics of the group of buildings, structures, and landscape features that are the Whittell Estate. The design of individual buildings or features also remains largely intact and unchanged. The design is also strengthened by the high degree of integrity exhibited through unaltered nature of the location, setting, workmanship, and materials. All of the buildings and structures that were designed by Frederic DeLongchamps remain. These include the main house, garage addition to the main house, lighthouse and garage addition, card house, cook and butler's house and garage, admiral's house, and gatehouse. In 1985, a two-story bedroom addition was built on top of the deck of the garage that attaches to the main house. Also in 1985, an entertainment room addition was built on top of the deck of the garage that attached to the lighthouse. Both of these buildings are additions to the original design of the property and are non-contributing features. However, there have been few if any changes to the design of the other buildings and structures designed by DeLongchamps. Overall, there is integrity of design.
The design of the landscape features was the result of artisan stonemasons that worked on the property. No site plan was found of these features, and it is unlikely that there was an overall design for these features. However, it is evident that the three gates, paths, walls, fountains, stone features, and series of outdoor spaces were constructed to take advantage of and dramatize the existing topography and rock outcroppings. It appears that the landscape features that were built during the period of significance remain in place and are unchanged. Also there have been no newer additions to these features.

Level Up! A Ren Faire Show (on Facebook). This is an interactive stage show that changes. No two shows are alike. They get audience members on stage and they choose where stories go at certain points. (sort of like Dungeons & Dragons, but on a stage-sized scale).
I had to lie on my belly to get this shot of a small stream…it looks like a much bigger stream than it actually is.
