Photographed in the grounds of the historic house at Fagan Park on the outskirts of Sydney … I am not sure what this tree is called, but it was absolutely laden with these large blooms. I have taken out the background, blended in a textured layer, and outlined and desaturated the flowers to give it an illustrative, vintage look. / Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM / /

It was handed down thru the families Henry Whitehead promised to build Matilda the best cabin in Cades Cove, and well he did. She had been living in the hastily built cabin in back when Henry met her. After they were married Henry built the cabin in the front. Its built of sawn logs, thought to be one of only two that were in the Smokies. The fit between the logs and the construction of the house has most thinking it was a frame house, until you notice the jointed dove tail corners. The walls were thick and provided plenty of insulation. The brick for the chimney were made on the property. I’d say he went well beyond building Matilda the finest cabin in Cades Cove….. The Henry Whitehead cabin is located in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain N.P. ..shot a couple weeks ago while shooting with Sherri and Ronnie Hamilton

Sepia Toned of a previous…Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…..The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants…..Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations.These fences are sometimes refered to as Worm Fence due to the back and forth placements…This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

Constructed in 1866 by Elijah Oliver.He was the son of John Oliver and born in the cove in 1824. His original farm was destroyed during the U.S. Civil War by Confederate marauders. This cabin is considered a dog-trot cabin sence it has a breezeway between the main house and kitchen.People in the cove didn’t turn away strangers who may need food or a place to spend the night.The closed in portion of the front porch was a “stranger room” Elijah built for this reason.This cabin is located a short hike from the Cades Cove Loop Road in the Great Smoky Mountain NP

Matilda Shields Gregory’s husband walked out on her and a small son. Her brothers threw together the resemblance of a cabin that sits in the back. This is where she was living when she met Henry Whitehead. It wasn’t long till romance was in the air. It was handed down thru the families Henry promised to build her the best cabin in Cades Cove, and well he did. This is thought to be one of two sawn log homes in the Smokies. It is the only one standing today….located in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain N.P…..shot a couple weeks ago while shooting with Sherri and Ronnie Hamilton

Rainy misty day at the Noah ‘Bud’ Ogle Place. The barn was the activity center of the farm. The animals that were crucial to making it day to day lived here. The tools used were stored here as well as winter fodder for the livestock. Those passing thru might sometimes get water an feed for their animals earning the owner some spare income. This is located on the Roaring Fork Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains and is an example of early Appalachian structures. There is a spring, unseen, to the left of the barn that Noah ran a trough from to the house for running water.

Bodie began as a mining camp of little note following the discovery of gold in 1859 by prospector W. S. Bodey (also spelled Body). That November, Bodey perished in a blizzard after making a supply trip to nearby Monoville.[1] In 1876, the Standard Company discovered a profitable deposit of gold bearing ore, which transformed Bodie from an isolated mining camp comprising a few prospectors and company employees to a Wild West boomtown. Rich discoveries in the adjacent Bodie Mine during 1878 attracted even more hopeful people. By 1880, Bodie boasted a population of nearly 10,000. Over the years, Bodie’s mines produced gold valued at more than $34 million.[2] As a bustling gold mining center, Bodie had the amenities of larger towns, including two banks, a brass band, railroad, miner’s and mechanic’s unions, several newspapers, and a jail. At its peak 65 saloons lined Main Street, which was a mile long. Murders, shootouts, barroom brawls, and stagecoach holdups were regular occurrences.[3] Legend has it that a little girl, upon learning that her family was moving there, prayed one night, “Goodbye God, we are going to Bodie.”[4] But a local editor claimed she had really prayed, “Good! By God, we are going to Bodie.” Gold bullion from the town’s nine stamp mills was shipped to Carson City, Nevada by way of Aurora, Wellington and Gardnerville. Most shipments were accompanied by an armed guard. Once the bullion reached Carson City, it was delivered to the mint or sent by rail to the mint in San Francisco.
