Col. Hamp Tipton had this house built after the Civil War. He lived across the mountain but 2 of his daughters lived here for a time. They taught school there in the cove. Later a blacksmith James McCaulley rented it till he could get his own place. It is located on the Cades Cove Loop Rd., in the Great Smoky Mountains NP. It is an example of the late 1800’s Appalachian home place.Also in the shot is the smokehouse and picket fence

A Sepia Version of a previous image Most of the structures were built in the late 19th century and were moved here in the 1950s. The Davis-Queen House offers a rare chance to view a log house built from chestnut wood before the chestnut blight decimated the American Chestnut in our forests during the 1930s and early 1940s. The museum is adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center,On the NC side of Hwy.441 in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Davis/Queen house was originally located on Thomas Divide north of Bryson City along Indian Creek. Beginning about 1900, it was built by John E. Davis over a period of a couple years. The house was constructed from American chestnut trees. About 1917 the Davis’ sold their farm to a neighboring family, Joe Thad Queens, who owned the house at the time the land was purchased for inclusion in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It has been described as “the finest example of the large log house in the park.” Davis was a master craftsman who built the house with the aid of his two boys. He “matched” the log walls by splitting a tree in half and using the resulting timbers on opposite sides of the structure. In addition to other duties, his sons, ages 8 and 4, respectively, collected stones for the chimney using a sled and oxen. It is the only log house in the Smokies with a decorative shingle / pattern underneath the eaves.

A pretty row of cottages on the edge of the Hopetoun Estate, near South Queensferry, Scotland. The houses were built in 1881. Situated just outside Edinburgh, the estate is comprised of 150 acres of rolling parkland with extensive woodland walks, breathtaking views on the River Forth and a deer park. The cottages are situated half way between the villages of Abercorn and Newton. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

The Old Picket Fence / by George Albert Leddy “Tear down the Old Picket Fence,” you say / Well no, I guess I’ll let it stay / I’ll patch it up and paint it white / I guess I’ll make it look alright / You see, that old fence means to me / A whole lot more than you can see / It speaks to me of things I knew / When fields were green and skies were blue It speaks to me of long ago / And yet it seems but yesterday / Just Ma, and me, and Little Joe / Our Little Joe just turning three / He had to have a place to play / Where he’d be safe and wouldn’t stray / And so I built that fence for him / A sort’o place to keep him in And in the spring a tiny shoot / Peeped from the earth to seek the sun / It seemed to know the picket fence / Would make a place for vines to run / And o’er that fence, so white and clean / It spread a wealth of verdant green / It seemed to know it held a grace / To help to beautify the place And very soon in brilliant hue / Violet and rose, and pink and blue / As if to meet the coming day / The Morning Glories held full-sway / And as the warm June days drew nigh / A tiny rosebud caught my eye / And soon the Roses, rich and rare / Sent their sweet fragrance on the air Then later came our Little Sue / Then Mary Jane, then Little Bill / Then Little Ruth, who couldn’t stay / She sleeps out-yonder on the hill / We used to gather there each eve / We felt she’d like to have us near / But Mother’s sleeping with her now / I’ve been alone for nigh a year I see it now, that fence so white / The Morning Glories all abloom / The babes we loved a-playing there / The Roses in the month of June / And Mother waiting by the gate / To greet me at the close of day / To tell me all the pretty things / That she had heard the babies say Ah yes, I see it all again / The yard is strewn with baby toys / The swing beneath the Maple tree / The dolls for girls, the carts for boys / The happy children there at play / The children, now, all gone away / Ah yes, I guess that we must be / Content with life’s sweet memories I know we’re getting pretty old / That fence and me, we’ve had our day / So just a little loving care / To keep us happy while we stay / I’ll patch it up and paint it white / I guess I’ll make it look alright (photo shot in Danville, Illinois, 5/21/09)

This old man is in the middle of a busy street trying to get support. / In 2005 an “Aids Memorial Wall” (60ft.long X 8 feet high) was originally proposed to go up at the popular English Bay, but was resisted by thinly disguised excuses. It was eventually pushed to go up at Sunset Beach, still in the west end. It went up even with protest. It holds all the names of the people that died of Aids and today it is full with no room left on the Memorial, but they are now adding names to the Virtual Memorial online. Take some time to click through the site. It is very sad when you see all those names listed – I think it is a beautiful memorial for those that have passed from Aids. Yet – it is interesting to me that after the big wind storm in 2006, the city had no problem building and spending donated money on big ugly stone blocks to hold the names of people & businesses that donated money to clear the fallen trees and restore Stanley Park . . no protest for that ugly, expensive piece of work.

My favorite quaint, singled beach house. I visit this cove often and admire this small cottage which sits empty, but is well kept by a caretaker. It is just 20 feet from the water and privvy to some of Maine’s most fantastic sunrises and sunsets.

This style of thatched roof is particularly characteristic of the mid-Hampshire villages. Roses round the door and a picket fence may be a cliché, but who could resist?

This image screams America to me – this was the American dream for a long time, a little house with a picket fence. Somewhere along the way the dream transitioned to McMansions, but I digress! This picture was taken on the streets of Williamsburg, Virginia, among our older cities in the USA.

Another old picket fence from Williamsburg, Virginia, provides us a real rustic feeling in this old country landscape. The fence leads the eye to the small barn or stable which is more in the shadows and feels distant, as the past is.
