How fun! These are old cast iron farm equipment seats shown at a local tractor festival this past weekend. The man who owned them has over 600 of them, most dated pre-1900s. this is my daughter’s shot – I love the different colors. Yes, folks… we do have TRACTOR festivals in Texas! We also throw buffalo chips, but I won’t get into that… Oct 08 Update: Thanks to everyone who voted for this photo to be Country Magazine’s Rural Photo of the Year. It made the top 4!!! E.

Ahh yes…revival of an old photo a la the digital phenomenon. There’s nothing like it…now look at the vintage fur and think back to this song by Mary Hopkins: Once upon a time, there was a tavern / Where we used to raise a glass or two / Remember how we laughed away the hours, / Think of all the great things we would do Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / For we were young and sure to have our way Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di Then, the busy years went rushing by us / We lost our starry notions on the way / If, by chance, I’d see you in the tavern, / We’d smile at one another and we’d say Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di Just tonight, I stood before the tavern / Nothing seemed the way it used to be / In the glass, I saw a strange reflection / Was that lonely woman really me? Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di Through the door, there came familiar laughter / I saw your face and heard you call my name / Oh, my friend, we’re older but no wiser / For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di La la la la la la / La la la la la la / La la la la la la

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.

This is the natural island in the middle of Lake Bled in Slovenia. The island has several buildings, the main one being the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary, built in the 15th century, where weddings are held regularly. The church has a 52-metre tower and there is a stairway with 99 steps leading up to the building. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera. This shot was featured in the Rural around the Globe group and the Canon DSLR group, 2 weeks ago.

Watch The FIrst Step - "The Grand Staircase" -Queen Victoria Building - The HDR Experience
by Philip JohnsonMUCH BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE VIEWED LARGER Thanks for dropping in your viewings,comments and if i’m lucky favouritings are greatly appreciated. The Queen Victoria Building is currently undergoing a facelift at $37.5 / million , one of the features is upgrading the paintwork to victorian period colours. This image shows “The Grand Staircase* of Sydneys Grand Queen Victoria Building, and is an example of how grand old buildings can be restored ans still be used as money making concerns, in this case a grand shopping experience The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen – stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists – in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated. The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid / architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building. / The visual message of Sydney’s coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship – trade, and the dolphins – the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB. The symbols are of property developers – the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria’s statue.

Uploaded primarily for the “Shades of Grey” challenge … however it has been languishing in my “done” file for a while, waiting for the right opportunity. This collectable glassware is actually green in real life, and graces the shelves of an antique shop in historic Berrima (Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia).

Interior of the Pantheon in Paris, France. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera and a 18-55 mm lens. The Panthéon (Latin Pantheon, from Greek Pantheon, meaning “All the Gods”) is a building in the Latin Quarter in Paris, France. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, but after many changes now combines liturgical functions with its role as a famous burial place. It is an early example of Neoclassicism, with a façade modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, surmounted by a small dome that owes some of its character to Bramante’s “Tempietto”. Located in the 5th arrondissement on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, the Panthéon looks out over all of Paris. Its architect, Jacques-Germain Soufflot, had the intention of combining the lightness and brightness of the gothic cathedral with classical principles. Soufflot died before his work was achieved, and his plans were not entirely followed. The transparency he had planned for his masterpiece was not attained. Nevertheless, it is one of the most important architectural achievements of its time and the first great neoclassical monument. I sold a large framed print with black frame and bright white matt to a lovely couple in Geneva, Switzerland. Many thanks indeed.

The Museum preserves Mission houses, an Oregon Trail settler’s house, a historic church and the structures, equipment, and original water-powered turbine of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill with related artifacts.
