This is Jim Bales Barn built in the late 1800’s. His place was bordered by split-rail fence on 2 sides and a stone wall back of the barn.The Roaring Fork bordered on one side. 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 Appalachia life.

by compoundeye“Objects are defined by the space around them” Overcast days are a great time to photograph industrial subjects, they add to the sombre or sinister mood of such places, and the light is great for picking out detail… This is actually a colour shot, with no desaturation – just a naturally muted palate.

At the feet of Schesaplana, the highest mountain of Rätikon, Austria, and 1970 meters above sea level, Lünersee is one of the biggest natural mountain lakes of Alps. Construction works between 1920 and 1959 made it a part of a pumped storage hydroelectric scheme. The lake is accessible via a steep ascent on partially secured trail, or, comfortably, by a cable car. Its surroundings make a paradise for hikers, climbers as well as fishermen. And for photographers, of course :)

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.

Seafreight containers lining the north end of the runway at RAF Folkingham. Presumably they contain machinery spares that are too valuable to be left to the elements… The sky has ‘ghosted’ slightly as the clouds have moved from exposure to exposure, but I rather like the brooding quality that imparts

Open the gate and walk through the old corn crib. Let you imagination take you back a couple of centuries, to a time without cell phones. They didn’t have any phones, TV, radios, electricity or inside toilets. They had luxuries like the old wagon out back. They had family and friends that helped out. Their kids grew up leaning how to “make do” instead of playing video games. At supper time they all ate together. School shootings were contest of marksmanship not killings. They had worries but not like we do. If the stock market crashed, it meant the roof fell in on the barn in town. The kids still worried about their shoes, not if they were a popular brand, but if they would have a pair come winter. When your daughter went out on a date, it meant some boy sat by her in church. They lived a rough hard life, but is ours really all that better……..image taken at the Tipton Place in Cades Cove, GSMNP

Fort Point is located at the southern side of the Golden Gate at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. This fort was completed just before the American Civil War, to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships. The fort is now protected as Fort Point National Historic Site, a United States National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service as a unit of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. In 1769 Spain occupied the San Francisco area and by 1776 had established the area’s first European settlement, with a mission and a presidio. To protect against encroachment by the British and Russians, Spain fortified the high white cliff at the narrowest part of the bay’s entrance, where Fort Point now stands. The Castillo de San Joaquin, built in 1794, was an adobe structure housing nine to thirteen cannon. Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821, gaining control of the region and the fort, but in 1835 the Mexican army moved to Sonoma leaving the castillo’s adobe walls to crumble in the wind and rain. On July 1, 1846, after the Mexican-American War broke out between Mexico and the United States, U.S. forces, including Captain John Charles Fremont, Kit Carson and a band of 10 followers, captured the empty castillo and spiked the cannons. US era / Following the United States’ victory in 1848, California was annexed by the U.S. and became a state in 1850. The gold rush of 1849 had caused rapid settlement of the area, which was recognized as commercially and strategically valuable to the US. Military officials soon recommended a series of fortifications to secure San Francisco Bay. Coastal defenses were built at Alcatraz Island, Fort Mason, and Fort Point. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began work on Fort Point in 1853. Plans specified that the lowest tier of artillery be as close as possible to water level so cannonballs could ricochet across the water’s surface to hit enemy ships at the water-line. Workers blasted the 90-foot (27 m) cliff down to 15 feet (4.6 m) above sea level. The structure featured seven-foot-thick walls and multi-tiered casemated construction typical of Third System forts. It was sited to defend the maximum amount of harbor area. While there were more than 30 such forts on the East Coast, Fort Point was the only one on the West Coast. In 1854 Inspector General Joseph K. Mansfield declared “this point as the key to the whole Pacific Coast…and it should receive untiring exertions”. A crew of 200, many unemployed miners, labored for eight years on the fort. In 1861, with war looming, the Army mounted the fort’s first cannon. Col. Albert Sidney Johnston, commander of the Department of the Pacific, prepared Bay Area defenses and ordered in the first troops to the fort. Kentucky-born Johnston then resigned his commission to join the Confederate Army; he was killed at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. Fort Point and the Civil War / Throughout the Civil War, artillerymen at Fort Point stood guard for an enemy that never came. The Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah planned to attack San Francisco, but on the way to the harbor the captain learned that the war was over; it was August 1865. Severe damage to similar forts on the Atlantic Coast during the war – Fort Sumter in South Carolina and Fort Pulaski in Georgia – challenged the effectiveness of masonry walls against rifled artillery. Troops soon moved out of Fort Point, and it was never again continuously occupied by the Army. The fort was nonetheless important enough to receive protection from the elements. In 1869 a granite seawall was completed. The following year, some of the fort’s cannon were moved to Battery East on the bluffs nearby, where they were more protected. In 1882 Fort Point was officially named Fort Winfield Scott after the famous hero from the war against Mexico. The name never caught on and was later applied to an artillery post at the Presidio. In 1892 the Army began constructing the new Endicott System concrete fortifications armed with steel, breech-loading rifled guns. Within eight years, all 103 of the smooth-bore cannons at Fort Point had been dismounted and sold for scrap. The fort, moderately damaged in the 1906 earthquake, was used over the next four decades for barracks, training, and storage, however, in 1913, part of the interior wall was removed by the Army in their short lived attempt to make the fort the Army detention barracks using Soldier/Prisoner labor[citation needed]. The detention barracks were later built on Alcatraz Island and was used until becoming a Federal Prison. Soldiers from the 6th U.S. Coast Artillery were stationed there during World War II to guard minefields and the anti-submarine net that spanned the Golden Gate. On December 16, 1962, Alcatraz inmate John Paul Scott became the only inmate to prove conclusively that it was possible to reach the San Francisco shoreline from Alcatraz by swimming. Preserving Fort Point / In 1926 the American Institute of Architects proposed preserving the fort for its outstanding military architecture. Funds were unavailable, and the ideas languished. Plans for the Golden Gate Bridge in the 1930s called for the fort’s removal, but Chief Engineer Joseph Strauss redesigned the bridge to save the fort. “While the old fort has no military value now,” Strauss said, “it remains nevertheless a fine example of the mason’s art…. It should be preserved and restored as a national monument.” The fort is situated directly below the southern approach to the bridge, underneath an arch that supports the roadway. Preservation efforts were revived after World War II. On October 16, 1970, President Richard Nixon signed a bill creating Fort Point National Historic Site.
