WRIGHT'S FERRY MANSION

COLUMBIA, PA

Solar Eclipse 2017 - Beginning to End I really had doubts that this one was going to work out! The forecast was calling for a 60% chance of thunderstorms in Lancaster, PA. I had some trouble with thick clouds in the beginning but in the end - it all worked out. Each photo was made with a Canon 70D and a Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens @ 36 mm. (1/160 sec, ISO 200, Baader Solar Filter, f/7.1)

Wright's Ferry Mansion is a historic site located in Columbia, Pennsylvania, United States. The mansion was built in 1738 by Susanna Wright, a prominent Quaker woman who was a successful entrepreneur and landowner. The mansion is a two-and-a-half-story stone building with a central hall plan, typical of the Georgian style of architecture. It features a gabled roof, a brick chimney, and simple, elegant details such as paneled doors and window surrounds.

The mansion was originally built as a trading post and served as a center of commerce for the Susquehanna River valley. Over the years, the building has been used for various purposes, including as a tavern, a hotel, and a private residence. In the early 20th century, the mansion was acquired by the Lancaster County Historical Society and restored to its original appearance.

Today, Wright's Ferry Mansion is a popular tourist attraction and a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in early American architecture and trade. Visitors can tour the mansion and its surrounding grounds, which include a formal garden, a carriage house, and a reconstructed log cabin. The mansion is also available for private events, such as weddings and corporate functions.

The Meteor and the Flower Moon LPOD on June 7, 2013 -- lpod.wikispaces.com/June+7%2C+2013 ( <a href="http://lpod.wikispaces.com/June+7,+2013" rel="noreferrer nofollow">lpod.wikispaces.com/June+7,+2013</a> ) A bright meteor along with the full "flower" moon are seen illuminating the Lancaster, PA countryside. The image was made of 415 twenty second exposures (about 2.5 hours). Each image was taken with a Canon T2i (f/5.0 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens @ 14 mm / ISO 400) and stacked using StarStax. This must have been some meteor! I unfortunately must have been looking away but at least it was captured in the image.
The Fog Bank across the Stream A fog bank is seen engulfing a flowing stream in Lancaster, PA. Two stop (-2, 0, +2) HDR processing was done using Photomatix and light processing in Photoshop Elements. I originally wanted to photograph the thin crescent moon and Venus pairing; however, the clouds and fog had other plans! Despite missing the moon, I really like the way the photo turned out. Venus can be seen to the left of the tree in the middle of the photograph.
