American Beech 3 b&w This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. After autumn foliage disappears and trees are bare in the woods, the American Beech lightens the views with its pale brown leaves, which remain all winter long. The leaves in spring eventually replace the brown. The phenomenon fascinates me, yet I've not been able to photograph these forest scenes with clarity that pleases me. Of over 50 shots taken in various locations, these at Buffalo Springs Archaeological District are the best. Buffalo Springs is in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, a few miles west of Clarksville. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow"></a>This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License</a>

Portrait in Brick (Lamont Cranston--The Shadow Knows) (Indulging in Nostalgia) (M) This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. Seeing my shadow on a brick wall on my back porch prompted this playful photo. I've been told it also resembles the outline of a werewolf! The Shadow appeared on the radio July 31, 1930 as part of the Detective Story Hour to develop sales for the monthly magazine of the same name. Popularity followed as a new magazine The Shadow Magazine debuted in April 1931. A new radio show came into being in 1937 featuring Orson Welles as Lamont Cranston aka "The Shadow". Radio programming lasted at least through 1954. The Shadow appeared in pulp fiction, comic strips, radio, movies, and television. The classic line "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" has become part of the American idiom. I vividly recall hearing shows on radio when I was a young kid. For the curious--many radio episodes, short films, publications found in a search at Internet Archive <a href="https://archive.org/search?query=subject:" rel="noreferrer nofollow">archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22The+Shadow%22</a> A blues band named The Lamont Cranston Band began its musical life in 1969. The influence of The Shadow has been significant in American culture.

Abandoned in Halifax County 1 This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. [An album of 5 photos] Nothing is known about this structure, which has a fine tree in its overgrown front yard. I'd guess it dates from the last quarter of 19th century (possibly). It appears to be the typical vernacular rural I-style house with rear additions. The wood house is 2-stories and shows (in the view that shows the side of the building) much disrepair to the metal roof. Two relatively unadorned interior chimneys are centrally located, one on each side of the parapet on the front façade. One chimney has a teasing lean to it. The other provides bracing for the antenna. The porch appears to have boards ripped up on the left side. Circular wooden posts provide dubious support for the porch roof, which combines leaning with sagging. The post on the far left is split near the base. Towards the rear of the house, it seems as if the side is close to collapse. Windows are in terrible shape but seems to far better on the front façade, except for the shutters. A rich growth of vines festoons the cornice at the roof. The steps to the porch are blocked by shrubbery and undergrowth. The door is partially open (I did not trespass or go inside). The sidelights consist of 2 vertical panes on each side of the door. The transom has two segments. At least two separate sheds with metal roofs on the right side of the structure. One shows boards coming done. The house is in Halifax County, Virginia, very close to the boundary line with Charlotte County. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow"></a>This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License</a>
