Billy Mays'death came as one hell of a shock and meant a lot to me. Let me explain why.
When I first came to America I wondered at this strange shouty-man with his black beard and lumberjack build yelling at me from the TV and I marvelled that, somehow, he’d managed to get a job advertising various people’s products that way. I asked my wife and she told me, matter of factly, that it was Billy Mays. Of course it was. So I turned to that font of all knowledge, Wikipedia and found out a little bit about the man who’d raised from selling stuff on the Atlantic City boardwalk to TV semi-celebrity.
As time passed, I’d see him and my wife would always say: “there’s your man” and we would smile. To me, in a way, he came to symbolise my new life in America and I trusted him to sell me stuff because he put his name to it - think about it: if the goods he was pushing didn’t work, how long would he be able to stand up there and start, “Billy Mays here…” and still have people believe in him?
So his passing struck me in a way it probably didn’t for most Americans. To me he was the fist “American” celebrity I will have to mourn on my own. No-one in the UK would have a clue who he was, he was no Michael Jackson after all, so his death was a disconnect, a separation, from my old life and a date of note in my new home.
RIP Billy Mays, 1958-2009
On the way from the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum to Northern Ohio Railway Museum , we swung by the Wheeling & Lake Erie Shop in Brewster, Ohio.

This beautiful and tidy farm is along highway U.S. 20 near Fayette. While most Ohio barns are white, occasional exceptions to that rule happily exist. I took this photo on April 29, 2011 during a trip to Auburn, Indiana.

I like rural scenes such as this, and like red barns more than white ones, probably because red barns were common in the northwest part of Ohio when I was growing up there. Tim Hoeflich (thoeflich) and I stopped to photograph this farm and one just south of it three weeks ago, as we headed to Bell covered bridge, one of the bridges I first saw in May 2009, during the first get-together I had with Tim (and with Pat Rodgers).

The Robert C. Byrd Bridge, known locally as the Sixth Street Bridge, connects Chesapeake, Ohio, on the left with downtown Huntington, West Virginia, on the right. The four-lane bridge with a really good sidewalk for photography purposes opened for traffic in autumn 1994. It was repainted dark green last year.
went to a dark part of Ohio to see what i could capture as night sky photography goes. Was surprised at the amount of visible stars there actually were. found this large reservoir on the edge of a field and thought it might make a good foreground subject to a night sky shot. Little bit of light painting to bring out the details and this is the result. very pleased.

This is a postage stamp crop of the snowy owl I watched for about 45 minutes before he flew directly overhead. It was a beautiful bird. I hope to see another before the season is out.
I took this photo on August 20, 2015 while visiting my nephew who woks on this farm. It is a very large operation with over 300 acres and numerous barns and silos. The owner also maintains some beautiful floral gardens here.

WOW, over 30,000 views in a little over one year! Everybody must think there are naked cheerleaders down on the field, but notice that all women in this photo are fully clothed!

The Ohio State Reformatory (OSR), also known as the Mansfield Reformatory, is a historic prison located in Mansfield, Ohio in the United States. It was built between 1886 and 1910 and remained in operation until a 1990 federal court ruling (the 'Boyd Consent Decree') ordered the facility to be closed. While this facility was used in a number of films (including several while the facility was still in operation), TV shows and music videos, it was made famous by the film The Shawshank Redemption (1994) when it was used in the large panning scene and for the Warden's office.
The facility was built between 1886 and 1910. The original architect for the design was Levi T. Scofield from Cleveland, although the creation and construction of the entire building was entrusted to F.F. Schnitzer, whose name also appears on the cornerstone, and is recorded as Superintendent in documents found in the cornerstone. Schnitzer was presented with a silver double inkwell by the governor of the state in a lavish ceremony to thank him for his services. Although the architecture is often described as Germanic castle architecture, it is actually mostly Romanesque.
The Reformatory remained in full operation until December 1990 when it was closed via federal court order (the Boyd Consent Decree). Most of the grounds and support buildings, including the outer wall, have been demolished since the closing. In 1995, the Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society was formed. They have turned the prison into a museum and conduct tours to help fund grounds rehabilitation projects and currently work to stabilize the buildings against further deterioration.
The East Cell Block remains the largest free standing steel cell block in the world at six tiers high. From 1935 until 1959 Arthur Lewis Glattke was the Superintendent. Initially a political appointment following Glattke's work on the Martin Davey campaign, by all accounts Glattke was respected by professionals and inmates alike. He implemented many reforms such as piped in radio music in the cell blocks. Glattke's wife, Helen Bauer Glattke, died of pneumonia three days following an accident in November 1950 where a handgun discharged when she was reaching into a jewelry box in the family's quarters. Glattke died following a heart attack suffered in his office on February 10, 1959. Over 200 people died at the OSR, including a few guards who were killed during escape attempts.
The Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society is currently working to restore the facility to its original state. Restorations to date include the removal of debris, replacement of roofing, complete restoration of the Warden's quarters, as well as the complete restoration of the central guard room between the East and West Cell Blocks. The restorations are being funded through donations and tour fees.
