Woodland, CA - Summer 2007
State Theatre has been upgraded to a brand new multiplex theater and it looks nothing like this now. I like this old version much better.

When we're young we have faith in what is seen, but when we're old we know that what is seen is traced in air and built on water.
MAXWELL ANDERSON, Winterset
The years are long, and full of sharp, wearing days
That wear out what we are and what we have been
And change us into people we do not know,
Living among strangers.
MAXWELL ANDERSON, Elizabeth the Queen
" One's need for loneliness is not satisfied if one sits at a table alone.
There must be empty chairs as well "

ODE TO AN FAITHFUL OLD SPRING TREE OF BEAUTY -
This old wild pear tree is in a vacant lot on a very busy road and just standing there invisible everyday to most until Spring touches it with its magic wand of beauty and it is then covered in lovely white blossoms. It delights me annually with it's beautiful display but it also brings a tinge of sadness cause l know one day the owner of that land will sell it and this grand old dame will be the first thing to go along with the happiness & joy it had faithfully brought me each Spring for the last 9 years!!!!

I've been under the weather the past few months and my body is run down. I hope it's not like this old piano, which seems hopelessly beyond repair.
Old Man Banksia (Banksia serrata) at Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
This is a retro-style sign, not an actual vintage sign. The digital sign in the arch was added during the most recent remodel, replacing a regular marquee. Apologies for the poor picture quality I was shooting through a windshield.
Picture Taken at: McDonald's #12384 503 College Ave,

Old Abandoned Bridge - the highway moved and so this 1930s structure crosses the creek for no one. Brainard Lake area, Ward, Colorado
Το ίδιο παλιό εγκαταλελειμμένο κτήριο τη νύχτα.
The same old abandoned building seen at night.
El mismo edificio viejo y abandonado visto de noche.
Looking out of the old Illinois State Bank building in old Shawneetown, you see what is left of what was once a thriving town in Southern Illinois. This was the most important commercial center of the whole state in the early 1800’s. Most of Illinois was an unsettled wilderness at the time this fine brick building was erected. The Marquis Lafayette visited here on his farewell tour of America in the 1830’s. The paper money issued from this bank fueled a growing economy desperately in need of capital. The huge iron vault is still intact and on display inside. Banks were extremely important in the early days of settlement and growth because real money ( specie ) was scarce and reliable paper was crucial for business transactions. The same situation exists today. Farmers who often times got paid for their produce with gold or silver also needed a secure place to deposit their money. This building still stands and was at the time the most magnificent structure in the whole state but the town is now mostly gone, a victim of repeated flooding of the nearby Ohio River and the shifting fortunes of commercial development. Today the sound of crickets chirping can be heard at night and the late summer chorus of cicadas high in the trees resonates and the long forgotten works of ambitious men come to nought. Vanity, vanity… a chasing after wind.
The earliest written reference to the Old Castle of Celje dates back to 1323. The original design only included a Romanesque palace and the walls. It was given its today's scope and appearance by the Counts of Celje, the most renowned and notable noble dynasty seated in the area of present-day Slovenia. Their reign and power had a long reach and they had a substantial impact on the political fate of the Central European region. The first Count of Celje to move to the Celje Old Castle with his wife and four children was Friderik I. After moving in, he started to refurbish the castle into a more comfortable dwelling. In the following decades, they extended the curtain wall to include the eastern inner ward, while the four-storey guard tower (the Friderik Tower) took over the main defensive role. Herman II used this tower a dungeon as he locked up his own son Friderik II, after whom the tower is named, due to Friderik's forbidden love for Veronika Deseniška After the demise of the Counts of Celje, the castle was inherited by the Habsburg dynasty who left it to their burgraves.
