Had to travel to the southwest of Kearney to catch up with the moderate risk day in southwestern Nebraska.
Trying to get ahead of the front, as I was on my way to Arapahoe Nebraska via Hwy 6. This was forming just my north. I didn't think I had time and it would catch me before I could venture south but I got lucky and timed it out perfectly.
Once again I was in position for another phenomenal chase day. Some incredible captures to end the Month of July 2016.

Bristol Wells charcoal kilns, built sometime around the mid 1800's to make charcoal to process silver from nearby mining operations.
One of the first structures to be built after the Spanish laid out a new town on the Natchez bluff, this house was built by James Moore who acquired the property in 1797. Although Natchez was a frontier outpost at the time, it was also the first capital of Mississippi Territory after 1798. While Moore's house cannot compare to contemporary work in Philadelphia or Richmond, neither would they compare to London or Paris. The best available craftsmen worked on the house on Ellicott's Hill and favorably influenced the architectural tastes of a vast, developing area.
Part, if not all, of the house dates from 1800 when James Moore, merchant, owned the property. The plan of the Moore house is usually associated with Louisiana; there are no halls and each room opens directly outdoors. There are 2 stories, the lower, of brick, has very plain interior treatment; the upper, wood-framed and clap-boarded, has well-detailed wood mantels, cornices, and door trim. The central room facing the river has a domical recess in the ceiling for hanging a chandelier. (The Waterford crystal example now there is undoubtedly finer than the original.) The surrounding rooms have slightly vaulted ceilings, disguising their low height. The central roofline is a steep gable between the chimneys at each end of the central room; the surrounding roof is of a lower pitch. The steep bluff site faces the Mississippi River. The two-story gallery on the river side is high above Canal Street while the upper story is at grade level at the rear where it is reached by bridges across a dry moat.
Because the south end of the house is at the original lot boundary, there has been speculation that the south rooms were added after the adjacent property came under the same ownership in 1851. The architectural evidence gives meager support to this theory.
Restored in 1935-36 by architect Richard Koch for the Natchez Garden Club, the restoration primarily involved rebuilding collapsing masonry, removing non-original partitions, repairing carpentry and plaster-work, and restoring the fine wood trim recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1934.
At the time of the restoration, it was believed that this was Connelly's Tavern, an establishment of importance in the history and legend of Natchez. Subsequent research indicates that this was not the tavern site. It has also been associated with Andrew Ellicott's raising of the American flag at Natchez in February 1797, an event that must have occurred very near, but before the house was erected. In the years between 1816 and 1936, it saw use as a physician's house and office, a part of J.R. Gilreath's school (the site has also been called Gilreath's Hill), and a tenement.
For all of its history and architectural significance, the House on Ellicott's Hill was determined to be a National Historic Landmark (NHL) and was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on May 30, 1974. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Just south of Berwick-upon Tweed Station is the impressive Royal Border Bridge crossing the River Tweed. At 1742 on the 1st August 2016 a Virgin East Coast Trains HST , 1S20, is slowly approaching its booked stop at Berwick-upon-Tweed with the 1400 London Kings Cross - Aberdeen service. This train will make another nine stops before arriving in Aberdeen at 2111.
Amazingly, this is the first time I have ever photographed the Royal Border Bridge ! ( shame on me )

Supercell that produced the Morton tornado earlier in the day at sunset near the town of Levelland. This storm would remain tornado warned through the evening as it approached Lubbock, but no additional tornadoes were reported.

Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Le Mans se trouve à la confluence des rivières de la Sarthe et de l'Huisne. Ancienne capitale provinciale du Maine et du Perche à partir du xvie siècle, elle voit le mariage de Geoffroy V d'Anjou et Mathilde l'Emperesse, fille du roi d'Angleterre, jetant ainsi les bases de l'Empire Plantagenêt, et la naissance d'Henri II. Le vieux Mans, dénommé Cité Plantagenêt, est le quartier historique de la ville.
DUNREE LIGHTHOUSE IS BUILT 46M ABOVE THE HIGH WATER SEA LEVEL AND HAS INCREDIBLE VIEWS OVER LOUGH SWILLY AND OUT TO THE WILD ATLANTIC. IT WAS BUILT IN 1876 AFTER THE DUKE OF ABERCORN REQUESTED BETTER LIGHTING FOR THE LOUGH AND SUGGESTED CONVERTING THE TWO MARTELLO TOWERS LOCATED AT MACAMISH AND DUNREE. THE GOVERNMENT HAD NO INTENTION OF DISPOSING OF THEIR MARTELLO TOWERS AND SO, AFTER A SURVEY, CHOSE THIS POSITION ABOVE DUNREE FORT FOR A NEW LIGHTHOUSE. IT WAS ALSO DECIDED THAT THE BUILDING SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN ONE STORY HIGH AND SO THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS DESIGNED WITH THE LANTERN ATTACHED AT GROUND LEVEL TO THE FRONT OF THE DWELLING. IN 1927 THE LIGHT WAS CONVERTED TO ACETYLENE.WHICH MEANT THAT JOHN MURPHY, THE KEEPER AT THE TIME, NO LONGER HAD TO KEEP A NIGHT WATCH.
THE LIGHT HAD ANOTHER CONVERSION THIS TIME TO ELECTRIC IN 1969. THE SOURCE OF ILLUMINATION BEING A CLUSTER OF 100 WATT, 220 VOLT LAMPS. IF THE ESB SHOULD FAIL THEN A SMALL ELECTRIC ALTERNATOR AUTOMATICALLY TAKES OVER UNTIL THE MAINS SUPPLY HAS BEEN RESTORED. THE CHARACTER OF THE LIGHT IS FLASHING (2) WR 5 SECONDS. ITS RANGE IS 12 MILES WHITE AND 9 MILES RED. ITS INTENSITY IS 5,000 CANDELAS WHITE AND 1,200 CANDELAS RED. THE HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE IS 6 METRES.
IN 2015 A NEW 4 METER HIGH GRP NAVIGATIONAL TOWER AND BEACON LIGHT HAS BEEN FITTED TO MAKE THE SITE FULLY AUTOMATED. THE NEW NAVIGATIONAL TOWER WILL ALSO SERVE AS A DAYLIGHT MARKER.
Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...
~1925 multi-bedroom beach house. The structure was slated to be dismantled and demolished mid-September 2022 to accommodate a modern climate controlled all-season structure of similar design.
Note original board-and-batten internal and external wall construction and the lack of HVAC or extensive electrical circuitry. The structure was airy - with many windows and all the inside doors were louvered to allow the summer sea breeze to pass throughout the home.

2017 Doors Open Pittsburgh - October 7-8,
a great opportunity to enter some of the beautiful buildings in the city (both old and new) to take photos. Most of the time these buildings are open only to tenants and clients.
See my "Doors Open Pittsburgh" Album for more images.
The Arrott Building, Pittsburgh’s oldest skyscraper, was built in 1902. It is part of the Fourth Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by Frederick J. Osterling, the Arrott Building was added to the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks in 2000.
This wasn't on the DOP list this year but it's one of my favorite Pgh bldgs. Last year it was open and we were supposed to be able to go up to this balcony near the top of the building to take photos, but because of renovations, we were allowed only into the foyer. The DOP people there assured me it would be open this year, but it wasn't even on the list. So this year, I zoomed in from the street level for a photo of where I wish I could be. The building is covered with lion heads, coats of arms, varied decorative motifs, and at the very top are human heads with crowns of rays, perhaps Helios or another sun god.
See my photo with a view of more of the building here:
