Jos' Version :
'Twas eerie as I wandered through the woodland to catch a glimpse of this ancient Victorian house of Castlestead where little was moving as the storm moved in. Perhaps the maid risked having the light on as she retired for the night ............................
or perhaps they are heeding the new norm to reduce our energy consumption
I got you, you know I heard you say
You blossomed into a beautiful day
Your sunlight keeps shining in my face
I would see it even in deep out of space
And all in time, I know
I will see you again and again
And every night I'm going to hold you
And hold you and then
Before the light I will rescue
And then we'll begin to start it all over again
I love it and how you clear my way
Guide me into a brand new day
In your eyes you know I've found my place
You see you - you are my saving grace

Inside the old and crumbling Tullich Kirk near Ballater in the Scottish Highlands. Gravestones stay safe within its walls as the early springtime sun shines down.
Some day there will be no more barns.
Only pictures of barns and stories of what they were used for.
After being thwarted for a 4th time at a photo shoot in a desired cave location a friend suggested this as an alternate location. Thank you for saving the day with your plan!
Some editing was done to clean up graffiti for a more pristine appearance (damn Sleestak's).
In the 1970's this area of New London was abandoned and set for redevelopment. But the Savings Bank of New London saw it's potential and wanted to preserve some of the areas history and contribution to our country's establishment and growth. So they bought up the block and renovated every house.
Fort Smith National Historic Site, Arkansas
War and peace. Outlaws and executions. Life-saving food and medical supplies. Justice, and injustice. An abandoned fort, and a thriving hub of life. A waypoint for future Western exploration and settlement, and an end-point for the tragic forced relocation of the Cherokee from the East. Fort Smith has seen it all, and then some.
Founded in 1817 but abandoned after only 7 years, it sprang up again in 1838 and lasted until 1896. As a federal fort, it was one of several end-points for the appalling "Trail of Tears", survived a Civil War battle in 1864, formed a major supply station, and finally became a federal court where many stories and myths of the Old West were made.
Now however, it's almost forgotten history. Thousands of cars and trucks pass by on Highway I-64 within a thousand feet of the fort every day, and never even notice it. Such is American History: so much passion-of-the-moment, followed by complacency, then apathy and abandonment for something else to be passionate about.
Fortunately for those of us who are interested in history, the site has been preserved by the National Park Service. Here in this shot is the Old Fort Smith Commissary, dating from 1845, and on the right as a companion, one of the famed covered wagons that made heading West in the 1800s possible for the Army and entire families looking for a life on the edge of the frontier.

Special thanks and Love for those who stepped up
while California burned.
And prayers for the safety of those firefighters who are trying to save homes even after their own homes have burned down.
They are the spirit of Thanksgiving:
Sharing the Love.....It is our Saving Grace.
Happy Thanksgiving to my flickr friends, with Love.
