Does anyone remember Jason Bourne from spy novels? If so, do not ask why I titled the photo Bourne

Shot on the Cape Cod Canal in Massachusetts Every once in awhile I get really lucky around here. On this day, I was only trying to go for a naturally framed sunset photo, but with the passing of this ship, this photo became something more! I hope you enjoy! =============================================== / M/V Risanger passing through the canal on its way to Boston

“Hey Honey! Yes…. Yes…. No, I won’t be home ‘till 8 tonight… No, I’m not out fishing again… there was some extra paper work that I had to do at the office… No… I don’t hear a boat at all… Honey? Honey??? Are you there?” Under the Bourne Bridge, Cape Cod, MA

one of my talented students drawings, as photoshopped by me. (see that shadow! I did that!) as many boys in year five do, he loves to draw:cars and bikes. It may not be my drawing, but I had the vision of putting it on a t-shirt, changing it to suit, giving it air…making me the designer and collaborator. I love how this car has air-I imagine the inspiration it may give my very serious student Nathan, and hope it brings a smile to his face.

nathan is one of my students, very talented at drawing.

nathan’s bikes mulitply and divide themselves over the terrain. They take the earth for themselves. they take to the hills. they take themselves wherever they like. they are free. They are born to be alive. * / if you looks from a distance, they look interestingly organic.

My favorite Cape locale, under the Bourne Bridge in Massachusetts. The Bourne Bridge is only one of two bridges allowing traffic onto Cape Cod, often times creating a bottleneck for summer tourists looking for a vacation on its beaches.

I’m feeling a bit odd since so many great archways have been included in Red Bubble recently and the ones I have, like this one, are more historical than beautiful. But they are part of the local flavour and much of that flavour comes directly from the mass immigration searching for gold in 1849. So if you’re looking for sheer beauty, check out LindaR’s recent submission (You can reach it directly as one of my recent favourites.) and be completely amazed. If you want some of the rugged ‘wild, wild west’, you can’t get any closer than gold mines and the graves of those who came to mine them. :-) This archway leads to the area that I’m calling the ‘stable’s patio’ (where the three doors are located). It was fun to shoot it because of the numerous ‘depth of field’ opportunities available. The mine is the Empire Mines and was one of the richest and most safe gold mines in California. It’s located right off Highway 49 in the Grass Valley area, the Highway 20 exit.

The Bourn family lived in a MUCH larger dwelling on the same grounds but were convinced to use this cottage for lodging and some entertainment. The house proper had a bowling alley (in the 1800’s!) This smaller structure had more rooms than my apartment complex, with the sleeping quarters on the second level. The brick used in the construction was obtained in Sacramento, Ca and brought the 40 miles to this site for buildings. I haven’t tracked it down for certain yet but I believe the cobblestone streets of the original Sacramento used the bricks from the same bricklayer.

...showing the unique architecture that utilized brick and stone together everywhere. The trumpet flowers were in bloom and their vines covered walls of the cottage with their beauty.

In some of the garden areas of the Empire Mines, the vines were obviously twisted around trees and each other. In doing so, it created a strange ‘topping’ of vines completely matted together, full of leaves, and so dense that it allowed zero light to penetrate from above. It was an interesting study to try and shoot the stem/trunks without using the D80’s flash without allowing the background to be blown out by the harsh white sunlight. As you can see, it was darn near impossible so I used the flashed reference shot to show the vines. I don’t know if the gardeners knew it would happen but the vines grow at a remarkably different rate than the trees they were sometimes wrapped around. So the vines could completely encompass a tree that would then grow and blow apart the massive vines in huge splits. None of those shots seemed to capture my attention because I’ll have to go back to get them as I have none. LOL!

Looking down into the main entrance of Empire Mine as it would be seen by the miners about to be shot into it (tracks on the right) and as the gold ore was removed (tracks on the left). What you can barely see as an obstruction in the left side at the second set of lights is actually one of the mining cars (close-ups to be seen later). The miners were seated in a sideless, topless railcar that had nothing but 2X4’s for them to push their feet against and balance their butts on as they were literally dropped into the mines at a phenomenal speed. (More on that later). On their way down they held their legs as far inward as possible (with some other miner sitting between their knees) and ducked their heads. If they didn’t, I’m assuming there would be a lot of commotion from the miners behind the one half splattered against the rusty framework holding the mine open. Not a good way to start your day…. This shot was a combination of flash and higher ISO so I could show the walls in the foreground and something more than a black hole in the middle. It took about 10 minutes to get the correct set of parameters working but, in the end, both the Nikon D80 and the Nikon D60 managed to get the shot. The ambiance lighting was limited to three places: at the top (where we were), at the middle, and at the bottom. By the way, Empire Mines had the best safety record of any gold mine in California with under 30 deaths in thousands of workers. Some of that is easily attributed to the metal frameworks used here were nothing but timber was used elsewhere. To make those frameworks, a large shop was a crucial part of the mine’s daily operations.

On both sides of the main entrance’s walkway to The Cottage, were these huge planters designed as vases. As with all the other greenery, the flowing plants (I haven’t a clue what they were so don’t even THINK about asking me), were so immaculate they could have been indoor flora. But the planters themselves were stunning in their depictions of methodological scenes, again none of which I had the slightest knowledge of nor care about. It was the really nice nudes that caught my eye. Yeah, I’m male so sue me. And the really interesting part is that I didn’t have to visually block out any portions of the scene because male anatomy is almost never depicted whereas women and unable to cover all their interesting bits no matter what they do with their hands, feet, head, or any combination of them all. Here a topless female in the arms of a guy who looks like he’s either part ram or swimming. Here a backside of a woman looking over her shoulder at me. Elsewhere…. Well, you get the idea. The planters were about 3 feet tall and atop brick pillars that marked the open end of brick walls surrounding the cottage. There are two odd things about this shot. First, I was so captivated by the masterful artistry (OK, fine. But I WAS captivated, OK?) that I didn’t notice my guide in the frame. I usually look all over the flippin’ shot to make sure I know ALL of what I shooting but I must have been distracted by a bee or a horse or a mastodon and missed her sitting there eating a fruit. I had to nuke her out with Corel or risk her wrath: not telling me what colours I’m shooting that I can’t see being colourblind. Second, I fought the white balance on these shots like crazy. The D80 was telling me that I was shooting a “clean” white but everything had a yellowish cast. Turns out the planters have a yellowish cast that I didn’t know was there. Damn. Even looking at the larger image of this shot, I think you’ll be cheated out of the detail so I’ll post a special (meaningless) close-up so someone can tell me/us the story behind the characters.

This is exactly as titled: the way the mine was held open for the miners to gain entry. It didn’t look all that reassuring to me but I haven’t been exposed to an all-wood mine. Anyway, this is over 150 years after the mine opened and the rusty set of cross-hatched handywork was put into place yet it’s still working just fine. The pipe was either a water pipe (constantly pulling the ground table’s water out of the tunnels) or an air pipe (supplying the miners air and/or removing dust).The other metal you see is the hand rails for tourists to use the steps to a landing that overlooks the main tunnel. Neither was there for the miners.

This is one of the tools used to crush the raw ore into something that could be used to chemically extract the gold from the other materials. A variety of methods were employed to do this, some including arsenic and mercury that had polluted Northern California ever since. Someday, we’ll find a way to have the fish be born with warning labels stating: “Don’t eat me if you’ve already eaten two fish before me this week. I’ve been drinking so much mercury for so long you could use my oils for a thermometer, OK?” Location: Empire Mine in Nevada County, California

I’ve seen many a home made from brick and I’ve seen plenty made of stone. But to see one so beautifully made of both, surrounded by verdant gardens, fountains, reflecting pools, and some of the most majestic tall trees in the Sierra Foothills is to see a historic wonder unmatched in Northern California. Miners never lived in this much style. The owners of the mine didn’t even live in this. This is just a cottage for the Bourn’s to entertain visitors from out-of-town. When you look at a place like this where the very bricks had to be transported scores of miles and then you look at the grimy miner’s faces, you’d naturally think jealousy and resentment. Not at Empire Mines. The mutual respect allowed both to coexist for a common goal: to safely remove gold from the richest earth in America.
