I was wandering around in this really cool
Victorian cemetery were my Grandparents and some other relatives
are buried....the place is huge, I think one of the biggest and one of
the oldest in the state. It is so beautiful with so many neat statues and
grave stones....it is also very historic.....Fredrick Douglass is buried here
as well as Susan B Anthony! There is a cool Civil War section too.
When I found this very old, abandoned area, and happened across this
very haunting monument. I got chills and felt a powerful feeling of sadness
and also love from it. It is so old, the early 1800's.....I could find no marking
or date anywhere....there is a lot of moss and licons covering it. I was using this
for my first try at Lightroom...makes me want to post the other shots of this
very unique, haunting monument. Another thing strange is that it is life sized!
I will have to go back there this fall, see if I can find them again:) Here is some
history...
America's First Municipal Victorian Cemetery
Formed by glaciers, Mount Hope Cemetery's landscape features high hills and deep valleys, winding eskers and deep kettles. Since the cemetery's dedication in 1838, a third of a million people have taken permanent residence in this 198-acre site where you will find stately mausoleums dug deep into hillsides, and myriad examples of Victorian funerary art reaching toward the heavens. Stone and bronze monuments include soaring Egyptian obelisks, miniature Greek temples (one sleeps 20 with a lot of dancing room left over), winged angels of mercy, draped urns and broken columns, Gothic towers, and sculptures of everything from Christian saints to favorite pet dogs. They all gloriously decorate more than 375,000 graves that send a mighty chorus of hope heavenward. In fall and winter, Mount Hope becomes a rookery, and the trees appear fully leafed with crows. In summer, a high 1875 Florentine fountain cascades water from lions' mouths down through three basins held up by cast-iron caryatids.

"LOST" set up shop at a $4 million, five-bedroom home in Kahala. It's a block from Kate's house and two blocks from Hurley's mansion, but I don't think they've used this property before.
This was taken in Victorville, CA.
Llano's story begins when, in 1900, the newly unified Socialist Party selected two Indiana natives to head up their Presidential ticket. Eugene Debs was selected as their Presidential candidate. His running mate, described by novelist Jack London as "the best socialist speaker on the coast," was an idealistic and prominent young lawyer named Job Harriman. After Harriman's unsuccessful vice-presidential bid, he returned to California and ran for mayor of Los Angeles in 1911. This was an era wrought with poor economic conditions for the average American. Big business controlled the work force and the worker was just beginning to find his voice. Disenchantment with businesses' labor practices was so great that both the labor unions and the Socialist Party threw their support behind Harriman. Harriman was favored to win the election. But a curious turn of events destroyed Harriman's chance to become the first Socialist mayor of Los Angeles.
The McNamara brothers, active labor unionists, were accused of blowing up the Los Angeles Times building. The Times owner, Harrison Gray Otis, was a prominent and powerful figure in California, and he was violently anti-union. The bombing case made national headlines. Harriman represented the McNamara brothers, and no less than Clarence Darrow joined him in their defense. Unbeknownst to Harriman, Darrow was strong-armed into cutting a deal with the prosecution. Just days before the mayoral election which Harriman was favored to win, Otis and the Times forced the brothers to confess -- and Harriman lost the election.
Disillusioned with trying to affect change through the political system, the charismatic Harriman and a number of other socialists decided that economic change could best be achieved by giving Americans an opportunity to experience a socialist way of life firsthand in a cooperative colony.
In 1914, these visionaries established the Llano del Rio Colony, 45 miles north of Los Angeles, in the Antelope Valley. There, although hounded by Otis and the Times, and overwhelmed by prospective colonists disillusioned with the American political system, the colony prospered until it was discovered that an earthquake fault diverted much of the water the colony had counted on for its growth. Surrounding land barons refused to sell water to the colony, and Harriman and his colleagues scouted the country for another site. In 1917, 200 of the 600 original California colonists chartered a train and moved the entire colony to the former lumber town of Stables, Louisiana and changed its name to New Llano.
For the next 20 years the colony evolved its own brand of cooperativism, southern style. The colony not only coexisted with, but thrived alongside their neighbors in west Louisiana. In doing so, Harriman and the Llano colony accentuated the dreams of socialist Utopian believers in America and around the world.
Though life was not easy at the colony, no one starved either physically or intellectually. The colony was one of the first groups in America to adopt the Montessori teaching method. A prominet socialist, feminist, and architect, Alice Constance Austin helped design the California community. A leading national socialist paper, The American Vanguard (aka The National Ripsaw) moved its operations to New Llano. Theodore Cuno, one of the founders of Labor Day, made New Llano his home until his death. Cuno endowed the colony with a substantial library, one of the best in Louisiana. The colony produced many high-quality items, from shoes to machine tools to popular foodstuffs, and people came from as far away as Texas to buy the reasonably priced, well-made goods. There were numerous colony orchestras and theatrical groups which performed at the colony roof garden, free of charge, to fellow colonists and their neighbors. In fact, surviving colonists today still recall the intellectual life and cultural activities at New Llano as oneof the most important successes of their cooperative venture.
In California they were tested politically; in the south they struggled with their own idealism. One colonist described the discussion about whether to admit African-Americans to the colony; having just been run out of California for their economic beliefs, the colonists decided that being Socialist was aggravation enough to their new neighbors. But one young woman at the time remembers her family's close relations with the Black community nearby. The colony's relation with one prominent African-American, scientist George Washington Carver, was their salvation. At one point the colony suffered from malnutrition and Carver is credited with pointing out to the transplanted farming colonists better soil and crop use pertinent to the south.
Llano's social programs, which in their day were considered un-American, were another source of pride. Seventy-five years later, similar programs have been instituted and borne much fruit in America. The minimum wage, Social Security, low cost housing, welfare, and a move toward universal health care were all instituted at Llano far ahead of the rest of America.
The colony remained in Louisiana for 22 years, adapting to new physical, social, and economic conditions. Then, in 1939, a series of financial problems and internal dissention forced the colony into receivership. Several years later writer Aldous Huxley, living at the defunct California colony, wrote about Llano's legacy. He likened Harriman's dream to that of Ozymandias, "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

"For many days we had been tempest-tossed. Six times had the darkness closed over a wild and terrific scene, and returning light as often brought but renewed distress, for the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost."
Sawyer's reading glasses were fun to make. At first I did the Professor Sayid method and built a little fire in my backyard but it overmelted the bridge. Then I tried a glue gun but the glue wouldn't harden, very odd. Soldering iron was what worked at the last minute.

youtu.be/ggjGmQ1Welw?t=24s The Lost World ,1925 Silent Full Feature
Directed by William Dowling. Starring Bessie Love, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone and Lloyd Hughes.
More than 80 years after its release, the first adaptation of "The Lost World" remains as one of the most influential silent films ever, due to Willis O'Brien pioneer advances in the field of special effects, as it showcases the first time stop motion animation was used to create creatures on a feature length film. These innovation was of huge importance for this and future films, and earned Willis O'Brien and his dinosaurs a place in history as an iconic image in film history, only surpassed by another of O'Brien's creations: King Kong.
Based on Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of the same name, "The Lost World" is the tale of Prof. Challenger's (Wallace Beery) epic quest looking for the living dinosaurs who supposedly live in the deep Amazonic jungle, according to the journal of his fellow explorer Maple White, who disappeared in his last exploration. Maple's daughter, Paula (Bessie Love) joins the expedition looking for her missing father, as well as Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), an experienced hunter friend of Challenger. Prof. Summerlee (Arthur Hoyt) goes as well, hoping to prove that Challenger is a fraud, and finally, reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes) joins the expedition, hoping to prove his girlfriend Gladys (Alma Bennet) that he is brave enough to face death.
Cleverly adapted by Broadway playwright Marion Fairfax (who also adapted in 1922 another of Conan Doyle's works, "Sherlock Holmes"), the film is an excellent mix of action and adventure that even when it's not entirely faithful to the novel, keeps the spirit of wonder and fascination with the unknown. From the obsessive Challenger to the incredulous Summerlee, every character is very detailed and for the most part well constructed, giving each one of them a defined personality and a certain degree depth absent in many silent films.
However, the film's best remembered characteristic is the incredible special effects by Willis O'Brien, who after mastering his craft in short films got his first work in "The Lost World" and changed special effects forever. His imagery is very vivid, and very detailed considering the limited resources he had. Sadly, Harry O. Hoyt's direction takes zero advantage of Fairfax's story and O'Brien's effects, and delivers a simplistic and unoriginal work that adds nothing to the whole work and seems to let the cast and crew do their job. It's not a bad direction as a whole, but it feels uninterested on the many possibilities a film like this posses.
The cast is quite effective, and really does a great job with what they have, starting with legendary Wallace Beery, who as Prof. Challenger delivers one of the best performances in a silent film. Without the aid of sound, Beery shows a wide range of emotions in his complex character and is great in both drama and comedy. Lloyd Hughes is very good as the cowardly Malone, and showcases a talent for comedy as well as a romantic figure, as his character shows interest in Paula White, played by Bessie Love, who makes a fine counterpart to Hughes and delivers a natural, and fresh performance. Lewis Stone completes the cast and his dignified performance as Sir John Roxton is very effective.
It's safe to say that "The Lost World" owes more to O'Brien and Fairfax than to O'Hoyt, and that probably with a more experienced director the film would had been even better. However, the film's real problem has nothing to do with the way it was made, but with the way it was preserved during most of its history. Nowadays there is not a complete version of the movie, most home video versions are of the 64 minutes version, while one (Image) is of a 93 minutes reconstruction. And while probably that version is the closest we can be to the original runtime of the film, it sadly has modernized the dialogs, to the point that some lines are rewritten to fit our modern standards.
Hopefully, one day we'll be able to see "The Lost World" as it was intended to be, but meanwhile, we can still appreciate the enormous importance of its amazing special effects, and how it forecasts films like "Jurassic Park" in many ways. This epic tale of action, adventure and horror has probably not seen a better adaptation than this, the movie that set everything for the arrival of King Kong and changed special effects for ever.
The Duchess of Northumbria has opened a magnificent garden complete with treehouse and water games. It's where some of Harry Potter was filmed but there is special "trap the elderly" section designed to challenge old people like myself... sometimes though the wanderings last several weeks and usually once a month a team of experts complete with dogs have to search the grounds for any lost old folk
Detail of conifer branch at Lost Lake, Mar. 15, 2016, by Greg Shine, BLM.
A small freshwater lake surrounded by a peaceful coastal forest, the Lost Lake unit of the New River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) provides a quiet, contemplative location for hiking, birdwatching, and picnicking on Oregon’s South Coast.
One of approximately 20 lakes in Oregon named Lost Lake, this one features a hiking trail with scenic lakeside views and a connection to the New River through neighboring Bandon State Natural Area.
The trail begins at the small parking lot and follows the southern and western sides of the lake through a mature coastal forest. The beginning of the trail is flat with a hard-packed surface; the western portion has steep sections with loose sand. The one-way distance to New River is approximately 1.5 miles.
Running parallel to the Pacific Ocean for nine miles, New River is separated from the ocean by only a thin foredune of sand. Many rare birds, animals, and plants depend on New River's estuary, forest, meadow, wetland, and shrub habitat for survival. Dedicated almost exclusively to Watchable Wildlife, the area remains secluded and primitive, providing nature enthusiasts with short, rustic, self-guided loop trails to view wildlife. There are four main access points to New River ACEC: Storm Ranch, Floras Lake, Lost Lake, and Fourmile Creek.
