A quick mid week adventure to a new location on my doorstep using my full frame Pentax K-1 camera to photograph a well known landmark that is seldom photographed.

Napoleon is buried in this majestic structure of the Army Museum which dates from 1677, topped with a painted dome.
[...] I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show [...]

Close-up view of a slickenlined fault surface in a rock sample (of Marron Fm. volcanic rock from south-central British Columbia). Scale bar at bottom is in cm (black) and mm (lines) divisions. These fine (sub-mm width) slickenlines are groove-type striations, the products of frictional grinding along this fault surface back in the Eocene (ca. 50 million years ago).

Abandoned Calcium Carbonate Processing Plant near Lower Big Wash in the Utah high desert. Beaver County, Utah.
This is a very mysterious place filled with interesting structures of unknown purpose.
This place gives me a dystopian feeling and I can't help thinking about an older Science Fiction story by British Author J. G. Ballard. The story is "Good-by Eniwetok." The place certainly has the feeling evoked by Ballard in that story.

Native American structures in the primitive area of Rock Ledge Ranch near the Galloway Homestead area. Heavy snowfall adds to the mood...

The art of structuring a photographic image lies in the thoughtful arrangement of elements within the frame to create a harmonious and engaging picture.
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 )
When we were kids, traveling across the plains of Kansas in the days before the Interstate was finished, we passed through many a small town where Dad pointed out an interesting fact. The town Undertaker always had the biggest house in town because, eventually, he got everyone’s business.
Now imagine you are the Undertaker running Forrest Lawn Cemetery in the LA area.
Doctor Hubert Eaton, the guy who ran the place in 1938 had some spare change lying around when he ordered a custom, streamlined REO tractor to pull a Curtiss Aerocar trailer. For the first quarter of a million miles, it was powered by a White Flat-12 bus engine. In 1953 it got a Cummins diesel. The trailer had a small four cylinder to power a generator for electrical needs. There was space to sleep 6 people, a kitchen, bath and communication with the driver. His quarters and that of a butler/cook were in the cab of the REO.
The Aerocar was a product of aviation pioneer, Glenn Curtiss. You know, that other bicycle guy who, like the Wright Brothers started tinkering with airplanes. Curtiss and the Wrights would start as rivals but join forces to become Curtiss-Wright later on.
He started building luxury travel trailers in 1929 and continued until 1942. The camper is currently on display at The Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard, California. It is on loan from LA’s Petersen Museum.
This is a forced perspective photograph of 1/43 scale die-cast models in front of a real background.
REO-Curtiss Aerocar is by Autocult
Bridge is by Lionel with help from some LGP upgrades.
Feed and Grain store is by Woodland Scenics from their Landmark structures series.
Though these may simply detract from the scenery, I actually find the fascinating with all their angles and shapes.
