    In 2015 I spent about a week in Shelby, NC. At the western end of the state, Shelby is a small town known for its historic downtown area with live oaks along the streets. Here are some photos I took back then.

    So Daphy and I went to Spain this past week. We started off in Gibraltar, where we hiked all over the rock for an entire day and saw all sorts of historic military tunnels and installations dating back to the 1700s. Also monkeys. I’m not a big fan of having wild monkeys all over the…

    Here is a fairly large gallery of images from found film, taken during WWII. They were developed by The Rescued Film Project. Now, normally when you see these galleries, they are images of things happening in Europe, where the fighting was taking place; pictures of destroyed street corners, blown-up equipment, etc. These, however, show what was…

    ‘m currently in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a very scenic place. There is lots to look at here – the countryside is very beautiful, the mountains are gorgeous, and there are plenty of parks with hiking trails, waterfalls, beautiful forests, etc. So one thing I didn’t expect to find here was an abandoned coal mine. It’s probably…

    The always outstanding Retronaut.co has some fantastic images that were taken during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, in the years leading up to 1937. The bridge got it’s name from the Golden Gate  – the body of water that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean –  and is one of…

    An interesting phenomenon that I’d never heard of before. Back in the 30’s, itinerant photographers would photograph many aspects of a town and it’s residents, then try to sell prints to said residents. Here is a fairly large gallery of photo’s from this time period, hosted by the University of Texas’ Harry Ransom Center. It’s…

    The word for the day is simplicity. And Junkstock captures the idea behind that word extremely well with this photo. This image, while containing almost nothing – a few flakes of paint peeling from a worn wall – manages to still present us with age, time, history, a feeling of ancientness. The simple and sparse…

    Hugh Morton was the grandson of Hugh Macrae. If you grew up, or lived for just a little while, in Wilmington, NC, then you’ve probably heard the name Hugh Macrae – at the very least you’ve been by Hugh Macrae Park for a stroll around the pond once or twice. Hugh Morton, among other things,…
