As you know from previous posts, we sojourned in the mountains of Tennessee a couple of weeks ago. It was fun (mostly) and relaxing (mostly).…
Eric Peters clues you in, just in case your young adulthood didn’t include the best method of transport other than horses and aircraft. And no,…
I’ve always been attracted to sunsets. Many years ago, when I first started playing with photography, I was almost a fixture at a certain local…
I’ve been trying for 3 days to get something down in a readable format and I simply can’t do it. It’s not a disaster; it…
In deference to the many and varied goings on in our world, I present you “Atlas Holding the World”. This Art Deco statue can be…
One thing about a vacation-if you do it right, you have time to read. I had time to read The Little Dog in the Big…

I believe it’s time for architecture to be our topic. If it isn’t, we’ll, it is now. Himeji Castle is the finest existing example of…
I am off vacating with family and friends in the Deplorable Davos, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I’m hoping to post this week, but all I have…

There is a small group of sites, on the right, wa-a-y down, known as “Other Important Sites”. In a way, it’s really the “Miscellaneous” list,…

Yes, another flashlight review. It’s an illness, but at least it’s a useful illness. And sorry about the image size. Anyone know how to make…
