Tall ship, the Enterprise, casting off from Portarlington, You Yangs mountain range in the background. / While out with my daughters, driving through Portarlington on a mission of introducing them to the Bellarine region of Victoria (we just moved here) where my family has ties, we happened upon this wondrous sight. It translated beautifully into picture, the serenity of a sunset over the bay with a magical ship actually out there, sailing the Seven Seas… With my humblest and sincerest thanks to Larry Davis, who has nominated this image for the Pay It Forward group, here is his impression; “To me, this image says it all. / Freedom / Peace / Adventure / Peace of Mind / Beauty / Tranquility / Love of the Sea / Something New / Excitement. / The Future.” / Larry Davis

Ever day we come closer and closer to our own destruction, by over fishing and the poltion we dump into our seas ,oceans . rivers and streams ..This is happening ever were ….all over the world. / Is the end to this our own demise. / In years to come we will think back and tell our grandchildren how we once were able to fish freely any were we liked…. and how we were able to walk on the sandy beaches and pick up shells. / There will be no more fish or animals atall if we keep on our same path. / Unless we change now, we are the beging to our own end.

This composite, a matrix panoramic image I created using four of my photographs taken on Makena Beach Maui Hawai’i. Gerald May writes in The Awakened Heart ~ “There is a secret set within each of our hearts. It often goes unnoticed, we rarely can put words to it, and yet it guides us throughout the days of our lives. This secret remains hidden for the most part in our deepest selves. It is the desire for life as it was meant to be. Isn’t there a life you have been searching for all your days? You may not always be aware of your search, and there are times when you seem to have abandoned looking altogether. But again and again it returns to us, this yearning that cries out for the life we prize. It is elusive, to be sure. It seems to come and go at will. Seasons may pass until it surfaces again. And though it seems to taunt us, and may at times cause us great pain, we know when it returns that it is priceless. For if we could recover this desire, unearth it from beneath all other distractions, and embrace it as our deepest treasure, we would discover the secret of our existence. You see, life comes to all of us as a mystery. We all share the same dilemma – we long for life and we’re not sure where to find it. We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last? The longing for life within us seems incongruent with the life we find around us. What is available seems at times close to what we want, but never quite a fit. Our days come to us as a riddle, and the answers aren’t handed out with our birth certificates. We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or mistake for something else or even choose to ignore. The greatest human tragedy is to give up the search. Nothing is of greater importance than the life of our deep heart. To lose heart is to lose everything. And if we are to bring our hearts along in our life’s journey, we simply must not, we cannot, abandon this desire.”

This castle is an imaginary castle created as a tribute to a historical American castle by that name. It is imaginary because there are only the remains of ruins where it once existed. It is a part of American history, but remains a mystery even today. In 1710, Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood was sent from England to take charge of the Virginia colony. In 1714, he settled a group of German immigrants on the banks of the Rapidan River in what is now a part of eastern Orange County. He also built a palatial home there, with both the settlement and his home being called “Germanna.” At the time, Germanna represented the western frontier for English settlement in the New World. In 1716, Spotswood led an expedition from Germanna westward over the Blue Ridge Mountains, a venture designed to publicize the fact that the mountains were passable and that rich lands lay beyond. The expedition succeeded in re-igniting the westward expansion of the colony and contributed significantly to the ultimate settling of America. The persons of wealth and power who accompanied Spotswood were dubbed by him “Knights of the Golden Horseshoe,” many of whom figured prominently in later Virginia history. A wide variety of mineral deposits were discovered in the county, including iron ore, which Spotswood successfully mined. In 1732, William Byrd II visited Germanna to inspect Spotswood’s mines and furnaces, penning a glowing report on the economic progress there. Byrd was also impressed by Spotswood’s home, which he called the Enchanted Castle, the name by which its remains are known today. In later years, gold was mined commercially in Orange County, with one mine continuing in operation until 1937. / ________ “27th….Then I came into the main county road, that leads from Fredericksburg to Germanna, which last place I reached in ten miles more. This famous town consists of Col. Spotswood’s enchanted castle on one side of the street, and a baker’s dozen of ruinous tenements on the other, where so many German families had dwelt some years ago…” -William Byrd / _____ Until very recently the location of Spotswood’s Germanna was unknown, despite numerous speculations. The first definitive evidence of the Enchanted Castle site was found by Ned Heite, Howard McCord, and Randolph Grymes in 1969. The site of the Enchated Castle had been radically changed since the 18th century when Spotswood lived there and there was a small town. The Gordon House was built on the site of the actual castle after it burnt, destroying what little remained of the Enchanted Castle. Little excavation and research took place after this initial find until the site was threatened in 1976 and again in 1983 by developers. Both of these threats led to salvage archaeology. In 1984, a large scale salvage project was undertaken which identified the majority of footprint of mansion foundation.

A view of the Tipton Place from inside the double pen corn crib. I remember as a child playing hide an seek an peeping around the corner to see if I was close to being found. Early American children had little time to play but I’m sure they had time for games. Perhaps too they snuck out to the corn crib to smoke or take a few swallers of moonshine. Maybe the missus didn’t approve of those vises an dad was the one watching out from the corn crib….side notes here the structure in front back of the fence is the wood shed and the roof ya see back of the place is where they keep there bees which were very profitable.

A portrait of an engineer for the world-famous Chicago ‘L’ Line circa 1940’s- that’s the elevated train system that runs all over that great American city. He seems to be on break, sitting there with a paper next to him. He’ll still get us where we need to go on time though, of course. / The original was completed in watercolor and gouache, late 2006.

The last of the three major pyramids at Giza is the pyramid for Pharaoh Menkaure. After this, the building of pyramids at the Giza plateau stopped – in fact, it’s believed this pyramid was completed after the Pharaoh’s death. From this vantage point, the pyramid seems lost and alone against the backdrop of the land and sky. It’s amazing to bear witness to the works of men who lived and died, like we all will, 4,000 years ago. /
