On the last day of our stay in Coniston I foolishly decided that it would be a good idea to climb the Coniston 'Old Man'. 803 metres high and bedevilled every step of the way by uneven slate footpaths until you reach the final 20 metres or so where there is no path at all and you have to pick you way through the rock. Quite an experience, but one I'm glad I had. This was taken about 30 minutes from the summit and thats my son on the right.

I've had my eye on this tree for a while now, initially planning a shot at night under the stars. I passed by on my way home earlier yesterday evening and noticed the grass in the field and thought I would give it a go at sunset. This is a pre-sunset shot which I prefer over the more classic sunset shot which I caught just after the sun dipped behind the hills from a different angle. I prefer the muted tones of this shot over the oranges and reds in the other. I'll post up the other shot soon.

She looked so shy and fragile ... but I succeeded to interview her about the history of the village.
I wish I had the resources to go to the central Asian Steppes and shoot the unique people there. Until I can do that, here is my AI workflow that created this person. I imagine him as an “Abdul”. Shepherd. 69 years old.

Tried something new in the HDR process to try and make a more sinister and aged feel to this photo - do you think it worked?

Betsy has apparently been in our family for over 200 years. At least according to this letter. My Dad gave her to me after I had helped him with my Great Aunt's estate 20 some years ago.
I am starting back up organizing all of the photos and letters we found and put them out on our website. A lot of work, which is why I stopped two years ago. Any how, here is a picture of Theodore with Old Betsy back in the day. www.familyhistoria.com/Ethelred%20Delk/John%20Delk/Joseph...
I apologize for the big watermark, but people were taking my photos and claiming them as their own out on Ancestry.com, which is another story. Enjoy, B.

My Dearest Niece
I rec. your most of all kind and welcome letter I ever rec from you. Don't think dear I don't apprciate them all for I surely do. But dear when I see poor old Betsy arived to you all right it lifted a big load of of my mind for I have ben afraid I would drop off before you recievd it. You picture is following close to her. Now I can rest lots better. I read your kind and loving 4 times when I recieved it last eavning with lot tears blind my eyes. I was so glad to hear you were pleased with it. Oh child to hear a good player take hold of it. I can hear her speak to profsor Green in his church work. The most lovely player I ever heard play. He used to tell me many times I could beat any man handling the bow he ever seen in his life. He taught piano & violin in the Boston conservatory of music 5 years 10 dollars per day. Poor man lived with me an my wife at Hood River nearly a year. I gave his board and a nice room. Dear just to hear him play the violin while I played the acompayment on the piano. But it is all pased and gone forever. Your brother must have taken after me a little. I only took lessons in vocal but never took a lesson on an instrument in my life. Well I hope you all well and to from you again soon. I am getting better slow. with love to all. Your Uncle Joe Delk
Mary Dear coppy this side in ink so it will keep.
Now Mary Dear for the reccord and age of Old Betsy. In J.T. Delk's hands traded one 200 Dollar Orgon & one 35.00 violin 15.00 in money to my oldest brother Solimon Bennett Delk in Oceola Iowa. 250.00. kept it 54 years. He got it of Uncle Bill Kerns your Grand Ma's brother. Solimon kept it 35 years. Uncle Bill Kerns got it of his uncle Dave Kerns. Uncle kept it 27 years. He got it of his uncle William Kerns who bought it in Bublin Ireland of a french Italian by the name of Delonzo. William kept it 34 years. He paid for it 42 English Pounds. Thats why I would not sell it. Dear you will laugh when I tell you the truth about what I have been offered for it in Kansas. Pof. Hi Jones one 200 Dol horse one 75 Dol violin one 30 Dol Brood sow and 9 fine 80 and 90 pound pigs. Some trade but no trade. 300 Dollars cash too years ago last August. One violin 300 Dol and 250 Dol in money and from 100 to 150 dollars more than 20 times. That is why I sent it to you Dear for I was aftraid of temtation. But now I am safe. It is yours thank Providence and good luck. By By let me starve Old Betsy is safe.
Your Loving Uncle Joe Delk
I drove by this place for many years. It's out in the country not near any town. It has not been inhabited for a long time. I posted this on Facebook and learned that it was once an old schoolhouse. Really neat place.

Old City Hall on a cold night in December. Designed by Toronto architect Edward James Lennox, the building took more than a decade to build (1889-1899) and cost more than $2.5 million. For these reasons, city counsillors denied Lennox a plaque proclaiming him as architect for the building, so he had stonemasons etch his name in stone around the building. Old City Hall is a designated National Historic Site of Canada.
