Pipe Organ
Maker: Thomas Appleton
The pipe organ is the best preserved product of the renowned Boston craftsman Thomas Appleton. Built in 1830, perhaps for South Church in Hartford, Connecticut, it was reinstalled by Emmons Howard in 1883 at Sacred Heart Church in Plains, Pennsylvania, where it was discovered, unused and neglected, in 1980. The organ's conservative tonal design and mahogany Greek Revival case reflect British models of the late eighteenth century. Standing more than fifteen feet high and having gold-leafed façade pipes (diapasons), the organ comprises sixteen ranks totaling 836 pipes, two 58-tone manuals, and a 27-note pedalboard, the latter replacing the shorter original one. Wind is supplied by hand-pumped bellows. The pipes of the upper manual are mainly enclosed in an elevated box with louvers that can be opened by a pedal for dynamic expression. The rest of the manual pipes are disposed above the recessed console, while the blowing apparatus and the key and stop mechanisms occupy the lower part of the case. The pedal rank rests on a separate wind chest behind the case. Tuning is in a customary mean tone temperament pitched at A=435.7 Hz.
Appleton's carving and joinery are particularly skillful. Before being hired by the prominent organ builder William Goodrich in 1807, Appleton had served an apprenticeship with the cabinetmaker Elisha Larned. Following a partnership with the piano makers Hayt and Alpheus Babcock, Appleton opened his own shop in 1820. In 1839 the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association awarded him a gold medal, and his reputation continued to grow until he retired in 1869, by which time his numerous instruments were serving churches as distant as California and South Carolina.

Wooden sculpture of a pipe smoker at Horský Hotel Popradské Pleso (Mountain Hotel Poprad Tarn) near Štrbské Pleso, Vysoké Tatry (High Tatra Mountains), Prešovský kraj (Prešov Region), Slovakia.
Štrbské Pleso (1346 m / 4416 ft AMSL) is a winter sports resort and spa in the High Tatras. It is situated at the shores of the mountain lake of the same name (Štrbské pleso = Štrba tarn).
Roughly 150 m / 485 ft above Štrbské pleso, at 1494 m / 4901 ft AMSL, lies another mountain lake called Popradské pleso (Poprad tarn) which is a popular destination for hikers and excursionists.
The High Tatras are a high mountain range at the border of Poland and Slovakia. They are part of the Tatras mountain chain which again is part of the Carparthians.
The High Tatras are a well-known hiking and winter sport region. There are several beautiful glacial lakes in the High Tatras.
The highest peak of the High Tatras (and also of the whole Carparthians) is Gerlachovský štít (Gerlach Peak) with 2655 m (8711 ft).
---quotation from en.wikipedia.org:---
The High Tatras, having 29 peaks over 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) AMSL are, with the Southern Carpathians, the only mountain ranges with an alpine character and habitats in the entire 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) length of the Carpathian Mountains system. The first European cross-border national park was founded here—Tatra National Park—with Tatra National Park (Tatranský národný park) in Slovakia in 1948, and Tatra National Park (Tatrzański Park Narodowy) in Poland in 1954. The adjacent parks protect UNESCO's trans-border Tatra Biosphere Reserve. (...)
Many rare and endemic animals and plant species are native to the High Tatras. They include the Tatras' endemic goat-antelope and critically endangered species, the Tatra chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra tatrica). Predators include Eurasian brown bear, Eurasian lynx, marten, wolf and fox. The Alpine marmot is common in the range. (...)
Flora of the High Tatras includes: the endemic Tatra scurvy-grass (Cochlearia tatrae), yellow mountain saxifrage (Saxifraga aizoides), ground covering net-leaved willow (Salix reticulata), Norway spruce (Picea abies), Swiss pine (Pinus cembra), and European larch (Larix decidua).

A steam pipe lays on the forrest floor. Taken at Gilman, the former town of the workers at the Eagle Mine. The town is at an elevation of 9000’ with a population of 350. It was the largest underground mill in the US until in 1984 when it was abandoned by order of the EPA due to toxic pollutants. Graffiti artist often use Gilman as a canvas for their artworks. These photos are part of the Gilman project, a two day photographic shoot of the town and mine site.
