Granite Blocks
Reclaimed bridge and foundation blocks reclaimed from old New England bridge abutments and now defunct foundations in and around the Boston area.
Appearance:
Most of the block material we reclaim originates from the quarries of Cape Ann, MA. Quincy granite is also evident especially in some of the Boston block we reclaimed. Much of this material was quarried in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s. These blocks have a century of aging and weathering. Some in the water, some out… for a real antique look!
Size:
• Always depends on our current bridge reclamation project.
• As for our foundation block inventory – it’s almost always dimensional material and multi sized
• Call for current sizes and availability
Use:
• Retaining wall/seawall block material
• Bench pieces
• Columns for entryways and gates
• Light posts
• Vertical pieces for archways
Sold:
By the pieces, the linear foot and by the ton.

I know I've been very quiet on flickr for a while but now here I am, back again.
Today I did a small outdoor shooting with Sarah. We met us in the city because I was watching for a nice location for portraits in front of old buildings and walls. In April I will have a wedding in this area where we took the photos and to know all opportunity’s is good to know.

This warm August day was primarily to see the new Garden Meadow , so a good amount of time was spent across the 1,000+ acres of landscape, and it was, indeed, quite lovely; however, during the season for the waterlilies in bloom, we always make it a point to see what is at the Waterlily Court in the heart of the conservatory. Trying to cover ground as quickly as possible upon leaving the Garden Meadow area, we could not make the WL Court in time to see the day blooming plants . . . But the night bloomers we saw were simply fantastic!!!
The Waterlilies at Longwood Gardens are of such spectacular variety, and given the passion and care administered to each and every one, it is a photographer’s dream to have the array of beautiful subjects to shoot, of both day and night flowering variety. The pools of water, where these magnificent flowers are presented, have been darkened, so when the visitors and photographers view them, the contrast created is simply wonderful. And the durable pads are unbelievable in their vast array of shapes, textures, and sizes . . . Not to mention, the stunning beauty. The black water prevents algae build up, and also minimizes the visibility of the mechanical operations beneath the surface—pipes, light posts, attachments, etc. When the Victoria Waterlilies are at their peak, they are simply incomparable in glorious nature and size.
CHECK OUT OUR LONGWOOD GARDENS Album--you will be amazed at what one can see.
Equipment: 23mm f/1.7 SLR Magic Hyperprime Lens on a Fuji X-Pro1. Natural Light.
Post Production: Adobe Lightroom 5 - Using a preset of my own.
All my birthdays rhyme. While posing (or trying to) for this pic, I had a b-day surprise come out from behind a light post. Well played. Wellllll played :-)
The main door of the Villa. The doorknocker is gone, but the bronze animal to open and to guard the door is still in good condition.

A bald eagle flies from its perch on a light post at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 1, 2014. "Maybe I've been here and I just haven't seen them, but I pay attention to the birds," said Grant Lattin, who has worked at the Navy Yard for seven years but hadn't seen a bald eagle until a month before spotting the eagle on the post.

downed light post and missing roof at the corner of ponderosa and lodgepole where some of the most severe tornado damage occured.
coincidentally, these streets are named after the lodgepole and ponderosa pine - the two trees that have recently been decimated in colorado by another ecological disaster - the pine bark beetle.
A classic in a city with a lot of cats...

I stacked three photos on top of each other to make this image. The photos were blended using a Calico program.
I guess I've been doing a lot of film lately? anyways, I decided to experiment with double exposures and it turns out there's A LOT of things that can go wrong.
the good news: I can turn all of my failures into a collage and hand it in at school for a grade.
the bad news: I wasted mad amounts of photo paper trying to get this right.
in the end, it took me about 5 or 6 tries (haha err, don't ask) over the course of about 3 days to achieve this. I'm relieved. I may end up uploading a collage of my failures... possibly. enjoy.
This was obscured by years of tree and shrub growth, finally exposed during the ongoing work to restore Jackson Park.
A base for another of these posts is nearby.
It's unclear if the extended arm is original or was retrofitted (the lamp fixture itself is obviously newer), as I've only seen photos of these posts with a large lantern-type fixture on the top.
A view taken down the platform loong north at the approaching line...
Filey Holiday Camp railway station was a railway station built by the London & North Eastern Railway to serve the Butlins Holiday Camp just south of Filey, in the then East Riding of Yorkshire, England. (Filey became part of North Yorkshire in 1974.) The station was officially opened on 10 May 1947 by Lord Middleton, Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire.[1]
The station was situated at the end of a short branch line off the Yorkshire Coast Line. It had four long terminus island platforms to cater for the large number of holiday makers arriving and departing from the holiday camp each Saturday during the holiday season. The station was located to the west of the A165 and was connected to the holiday camp by a private subway under the road. Passengers were taken to and from the station by a road train using this subway. Passenger numbers dropped significantly as more people arrived at the camp by car and the station closed to passengers on 17 July 1977.
Just took a photo of the great winter scenery when the sun made a shadow of a street lamp...

On 22 November Prince William will be visiting Sunderland and South Tyneside to take part in a number of youth development events. During the visit he will also officially open Haven Point, the new leisure centre in South Shields.
To celebrate this Tyne & Wear Archives has produced a short flickr set remembering past royal visits to the region’s shipyards. Most of the visits featured here took place during difficult times and they gave a real boost to public spirits in the face of two World Wars.
A short blog relating to these images can be read here .
These images are part of the Tyne & Wear Archives Shipyard Collection. In July 2013 the outstanding historical significance of the Collection was recognised by UNESCO through its inscription to the UK Memory of the World Register.
