This enchanted garden is less than three hours from Toronto, and, because of it's eerie vibe, is the perfect spot to visit for those interested in the spooky and unusual.
The Screaming Heads are located in Burk's Falls, and is half-art gallery, half-outdoor playground.
This surreal property is owned and operated by the Screaming Heads artist himself, Peter Camani, on his 300-acre land.
Visitors are welcome to wander around and admire the 20-ft concrete sculptures that adorn his gardens, including heads and hands that seem to be exploding out of the earth - making the property feel otherworldly.
Often referred to as Ontario's Stonehenge, the arrangement of the artwork may seem random, but seen from above, you'll discover the concrete sculptures form the shape of a dragon.
The Screaming Heads of Midlothian is open year round, but perhaps is best seen in fall because of the vibrant autumn foliage of the Almaguin Highlands Region.
Although it's free to enter, there is a donation box at the entrance, and visitors are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Burk's Falls and District Food Bank.

Having broken up from school, the previous Friiday, my task on the Monday, which was Christmas Eve, was to go out in the morning to buy the remaining items of perishables in preparation for Christmas Day and Boxing Day. My plan was to get out early to avoid the inevitable rush. However, the conditions for landscape photography were so good, I decided to delay my trip to ASDA at Long Eaton and make a detour instead to Attenborough Nature Reserve. I am glad I did, because I managed to bag a number of images that I was very pleased with.

While a UP train of perishables waits on Main 2, Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr train 6 crosses over from Main 1 to 2 at CPG 978, Strawberry in Mountain Green, Utah.
This gorgeous view of Weber Canyon was less than a mile from Doug's home, and he could watch UP trains passing by through his kitchen window.
18-august-2021: this is the bottom of a marked "dolina" (-110m with respect to the surrounding plateu), that is a small, but deep, rounded basin, where a cave begins, "the Ice Cave", about 4km long.
It is an evident Karst phenomenon which, thanks to the position and altitude (1100m a.s.l. on the edge of the forestal plateau), in an area (which was) very snowy, represented a real freezer for the conservation of snow and ice, maintaining temperatures around at 0Β°C, even in the height of summer.
Once upon a time tons of ice were extracted every year, which ended up (as "natural coolers" for perishable goods) on the markets of Trieste and Gorizia, but, it is said, they reached Egypt.
With Global Warming almost everything has changed and even the lowest snowfield in Europe (up to 90s; 990m a.s.l., certainly with different characteristics from the snowfields in the mountain gullies) has definitively disappeared.
Compared to "Smrekova Draga", here the air is never stirred, so even in this hot summer, on August 18th, I measured just 2.5Β°C at the entrance of the cave, which has a particular effect against 25Β°C of the upper part, in a forest with a alpine climate however...
This temperature, combined with much less frequent snowfall than in the past, means that now there is no longer either ice or snow on the bottom, but the vegetational inversion remains, more rapid and marked than that of the wide "Valley of Spruce trees", with only lichens and mosses in the photographed part.

Today's print scan was photographed a couple of hundred feet south of yesterday's posting six years later. NYS&W has gained control of the Utica Branch. If you look at the background, you'll see a much different building at the East Main street crossing in Norwich, NY. Victory Markets/Great American Food stores had purchased the property and built a cold storage warehouse for perishables, refrigerated, and frozen foods. Alco RS-3 #104 has just finished spreading ballast at a new track off the main to serve the facility. The track would never see any deliveries that I know of and this train would be the only one I ever photographed on the track. Today that distro center is long gone along with the food chain after filing bankruptcy a few years after this photo,(accept for some independent stores), and ironically the whole area there is now a Top's Supermarket plaza.

A Union Pacific priority piggyback & perishables train rockets through Echo Canyon at ABS 9444, just west of Emory, Utah. Doug must have found this train to his liking (who wouldn't?) as he followed it from his home in Mountain Green all the way to the summit at Wahsatch. Wish I could have joined him!
"That which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. (...) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body."

The ice house serving Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk. Dates to the 1700s and long before refrigerators.
Ice was sawn from lakes in Scandinavia, transported by ship and then stored in these houses to provide a yearlong supply of ice with all the niceties that ice facilitates. Fruits and other perishables were also preserved.
The Felbrigg ice house was made to look like a ruin and thus blend into the hall's extensive grounds. Steep steps descend into a subterranean chamber holding the ice.
I've been keeping this surface around so I could shoot my beach scene but it's time to let it go. I should have created it from something not perishable. My "sandcastle" was formed with graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and corn syrup. Quick tip: crinkled up sheets of aluminum foil can double as the ocean.

Thimbleberry bushes this year are so covered in blossoms that I know, barring a bad heatwave, we'll have a lovely feast in August
βMany wild foods have their charms, but the dearest one to my heart - my favorite fruit in the whole world - is the thimbleberry. Imagine the sweetest strawberry you've ever tasted, crossed with the tartest raspberry you've ever eaten. Give in the texture of silk velvet and make it melt to sweet juice the moment it hits your tongue. Shape it like the age-old sewing accessory that gives the fruit its name, and make it just big enough to cup a dainty fingertip. That delicious jewel of a fruit is a thimbleberry. They're too fragile to ship and too perishable to store, so they are one of those few precious things in life that can't be commoditized, and for me they always symbolize the essence of grabbing joy while I can. When it rains in thimbleberry season, the delicate berries get so damp that even the gentlest pressure crushes them, so instead of bringing them home as mush, I lick each one of my fingers as soon as it is picked. These sweet berries are treasure beyond price...β

Stewart Farm Heritage Site, on the banks of the Nicomekl River,
Surrey, British Columbia,
Canada
Stewart Farm comprises a two storey wood-frame farmhouse with a deep veranda on the south and east sides, surrounded by seven associated farm buildings: root cellar, wood shed, pole barn, bunkhouse, machine shed, threshing machine shed and garage. The complex now forms part of Elgin Heritage Park.
HERITAGE VALUE
The heritage value of the Stewart Farm lies in its interpretive value, as the only intact farm complex from the late nineteenth century remaining in Surrey. Stewart Farm provides a valuable illustration of pioneer life and demonstrates important aspects of Surrey's agricultural heritage to the public. Originally a two storey log structure was located just to the north of the existing farmhouse. The success of the farm operations allowed for the construction of a new farmhouse in 1894 and the earliest outbuildings the following year. The large and elaborate farmhouse and the surrounding buildings demonstrate both the wealth and way of life that could accompany a farming livelihood in the late 1800s. The farmhouse is a good example of the Queen Anne Revival style, which was popular at the time of its construction. The farmhouse is furnished as it would have been at the turn of the century, demonstrating a typical farming lifestyle.
The outbuildings are significant in demonstrating the functions of a traditional farm. The root cellar, built into the ground and conveniently close to the house, was used for storing perishable produce through the winter and illustrates the lack of refrigeration in the late nineteenth century. The large open woodshed demonstrates the need for self sufficiency in fuel. The necessity for a bunkhouse for farm labourers points to the labour-intensive nature of farming, even though the farm boasted a threshing machine and other machinery. The garage was likely a later addition to the site in the 1920s, when John Stewart owned a Model T truck. The pole barn is one of the oldest and largest remaining barns of this type in the region. It is framed with minimally worked peeled logs, plank walls, board floors and a hand-split cedar shake roof. The raised midstorey allows a fully loaded hay wagon to enter.
Stewart Farm is important for its association with John Stewart, who was active in social and municipal affairs. John Stewart came to the area in 1880 and served on the Municipal Council for a number of terms in the 1880s and 1890s. He made a substantial contribution to farming in the area by leading in the construction of dykes to drain the low lying land of Mud Bay. The Stewart family ran a successful hay farm operation at this location for six decades, which was then owned by the Ward family from 1944 until the City of Surrey purchased the farm in 1984.
The location of the Stewart Farm, on the banks of the Nicomekl River, is a demonstration of the importance of water transportation to the development of the area. The river is tidal and sternwheeler boats originally travelled up the river to collect produce from the local farms. In the 1950-1970s era, the Ward family created a small boat launching marina and boat repair area. The wharf, boat moorage and launching ramp for non-motorized vessels have now been reconstructed.
The municipal ownership and restoration of this site demonstrates the commitment of the City of Surrey in preserving and interpreting its built and natural heritage. The main restoration works took place between 1987-93: the farmhouse was restored and adapted to museum use in 1988-89; the Machine Shed was renovated and adapted for re-use as public washrooms in 1986; the Threshing Shed and Bunkhouse were restored and adapted for exhibition and public programming use in 1987-1988; the Pole Barn was restored for exhibition purposes in 1990-91; the orchard landscape was recreated in 1994 from heirloom specimens typical of the 1880s and sourced from several heritage orchards of the Fraser Valley; and the kitchen garden has been replanted.

Doug and his family lived in Mountain Green Utah in Weber Canyon. He could view Union Pacific's Overland main line from his home. I have no doubt this train caught his eye and he gave chase.
Union Pacific brought 25 DDA40X "Centennial" locomotives out of long term storage during a traffic surge in Sept. 1983. UP 6902 was one of the lucky members reactivated. Here it leads a hot eastbound train of perishables and piggyback trailers out of Wilhelmina's Pass through the green fields of Henefer on July 2, 1984.
Four decades later, we are fortunate Doug captured this moment on Kodachrome for us to enjoy.

Monument to the Discoveries
Part of the program when visiting Lisbon, and a relatively long streetcar ride.
First erected in 1940 as part of the Portuguese World Exhibition, but built with perishable materials and reconstructed in 1960.
A stylised caravel seems to be setting out to sea, with Henry the Navigator in its prow. On the two lateral ramps ascending to the symbolic figure of the Prince are some of the significant characters of the Portuguese overseas expansion and cultural names from the age of the Discoveries, 32 in total, all portrayed with symbols that allude to their identity: navigators, cartographers, warriors, colonisers, missionaries, chroniclers and artists.

Union Pacific's Delano-McFarland, California to Selkirk, New York priority perishables train blasts through Uintah at the foot of Utah's Weber Canyon on May 11, 2012.
Acrylic/mixed media on canvas 75x115 cm / 29,5x45 inch
Meaning:
1.Immortal, undying, eternally or unfading beautiful.
2.A deep purple-red color. Like the flowers of the Amaranthus Caudatus.
Amaranthine is rooted in the Greek word amarantos, meaning "immortal" or "unfading" and in amarantus, the Latin name of a flower.
In the 18th century Amarant was a common girls name in the Netherlands.
Now being immortal or to stay beautiful forever is something people discuss about often.
It seems attractive to be immortal. However, if everyone around you is dying, why would you want to be immortal? And what would it lead to if no one could die?
A considerable industry has sprung up to preserve an 'unfading beauty'.
Indeed, the perishable preoccupies us.

Visit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schooner
A schooner (/ΛskuΛnΙr/) is a type of sailing vessel defined by its rig: fore-and-aft rigged on all of two or more masts and, in the case of a two-masted schooner, the foremast generally being shorter than the mainmast. A common variant, the topsail schooner also has a square topsail on the foremast, to which may be added a topgallant. Differing definitions leave uncertain whether the addition of a fore course would make such a vessel a brigantine. Many schooners are gaff-rigged, but other examples include Bermuda rig and the staysail schooner.
The origins of schooner rigged vessels is obscure, but there is good evidence of them from the early 17th century in paintings by Dutch marine artists. The name "schooner" first appeared in eastern North America in the early 1700s. The name may be related to a Scots word meaning to skip over water,] or to skip stones.
The schooner rig was used in vessels with a wide range of purposes. On a fast hull, good ability to windward was useful for privateers, blockade runners, slave ships, smaller naval craft and opium clippers. Packet boats (built for the fast conveyance of passengers and goods) were often schooners. Fruit schooners were noted for their quick passages, taking their perishable cargoes on routes such as the Azores to Britain. Some pilot boats adopted the rig. The fishing vessels that worked the Grand Banks of Newfoundland were schooners, and held in high regard as an outstanding development of the type. In merchant use, the ease of handling in confined waters and smaller crew requirements made schooners a common rig, especially in the 19th century. Some schooners worked on deep sea routes. In British home waters, schooners usually had cargo-carrying hulls that were designed to take the ground in drying harbours (or, even, to unload dried out on an open beach). The last of these once-common craft had ceased trading by the middle of the 20th century. Some very large schooners with five or more masts were built in the United States from circa 1880β1920. They mostly carried bulk cargoes such as coal and timber. In yachting, schooners predominated in the early years of the America's Cup. In more recent times, schooners have been used as sail training ships.
