This moth is massive. Much bigger than typical garden moths and easily as large as an Oak Eggar. It flew into the house while I was setting up my Badger camera and it looked and sounded like a small drone moving slowly and methodically through the house, scanning each room. But what a curious name; Old Lady. Moses Harris in the Aurelian (1766) called it the Grave Brocade, and there are a number of moths called Brocade that resemble the rich fabric of the same name. This moth resembles the black outfit worn by Queen Victoria when she was in mourning, though the name Grave Brocade was first used 200 years earlier. The name Old Lady is an extension of this funereal idea as widows wearing sombre colours were usually old. Though the Dutch call this moth the Black Orphan (Zwart Weeskind). Its scientific name is beautifully alliterative; Mormo maura. Mormo was a mythical creature of Ancient Greece that would bite misbehaving children. Maura is an inhabitant of Mauritania, a Moor, like Shakespeare's Othello. But it wasn't named maura for its dark colouration as Linnaeus gave Mauritania as the type locality. In Britain it is not especially numerous but occurs throughout Britain, petering out in the north.

The old cars in the church forecourt. Not the best weather for photography.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
It has the inscription
“K&C Ltd LONDON”
and
“MADE IN ENGLAND”.
It has been in my Australian family for as long as I can remember. I thought mid-century but it may even be older.
Situated on the corner of Worship Street and Mason Street in Hull.
The Old English Gentleman is a unique town outlet situated close to the theatre. Possibly the most charming and atmospheric pub in Hull, the ambience created by the theatre "crowd", blends perfectly with the surrounds of the internal décor.
The Old Fort Niagara complex and state park on a very frigid January day in 2015. This wonderful stone fort is full of history and character. The fort sits at the mouth of the Niagara River, as it empties into Lake Ontario. via 500px ift.tt/2iyKxXY
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,

Just barely over a year before the old South Lakeland Cantilever would be taken down we see it displaying all reds on what looks to be a quiet night. It is for now, but in thirty minutes a departing L604 will see a medium approach or clear to meet Q177 at Lakeland Junction... These old ACL Searchlights fell May of 2018 to progress. Thanks to ETHOVER and his efforts at CSX these signals now reside at the permanent residence of the Florida Railroad Museum.

I've been partial to this photo for a long time, finally decided to post it here. Something about the light conditions and the massive red cliffs rising over the Virgin River gives this an old timey image quality to me. Seems like something the earliest explorers (and of course the indigenous peoples) might have seen exactly the same way hundreds of years ago. I must admit there's a little assist to the old timey feel created by a hint of smoke in the air as there were wildfires not too far away and the smoke drifted in and out of the canyon. This was taken from a section of the Narrows farther up past the Orderville Canyon split.
The Narrows is one of my all-time favorite hiking experiences and I was feeling pure joy as I explored the canyon with friends Kevin Benedict and
Josh Krasner. In fact, I was so excited by the combination of massive cliffs and fall colors that I might have run up ahead a little too recklessly and left some stragglers behind. Can't wait to visit Zion again!
