This logan rock can be found about 300 metres to the south of Bellever Tor proper amid a small low tor like group of rocks.
Our first abandoned place we explored was the Adam Hoffman homestead. It hasn't been occupied since my friend Beth's mother, Linda, was a little girl. She has fond memories of the place. She said the house was so beautiful. The grounds around the house were beautiful gardens. The huge barn contained, among other animals, had a white horse that the children got to ride! What a place.
The house, I am told, used to be quite beautiful and the grounds very well kept. Beautiful yard and garden. House was fairly modern for its day. You can see some of that still, through the decay and abandonment.
Walk with me through the top floor and basement of this beautiful old house. If you look through the decay you can see how pretty it really was. One thing I noticed was just how very many layers of wallpaper there was - count along! Seriously - so many styles and patterns.
And the basement, though creepy, had some interesting things as well!
Strobist: three flashes. Key was a SB600 in a shoot thru umbrella with a 1/4" grid. Kicker was another SB600 behind about 45 degrees. Fill was a LP160 bouncing against the opposite white wall.
Flight deck of 757. I'm not sure, but I think this was the last Boeing to have CRT displays, as opposed to LCD. The reason this is worth mentioning is that the symbols (e.g. the engine arcs in the middle top display) are drawn as perfect vectors, as are each letter. For example, a circle is made by scanning the electron beam in a circle, creating a gorgeous, bright, perfect circle. No pixels. Thus, despite being "antiquated" technology, the displays are beautiful and unlike anything you see today. LCDs may be cheaper, but there's something about CRTs, especially vector-based ones, that are a pity to see go.
