I’m always amazed at how places like this have even survived. So fortunate that they have.

Love that kind of weather. Great photos of it!

This will probably sound too wierd coming from a stranger, and maybe not proper in traditional ways of saying one likes something, but your pictures and back story are heartening. In every sense of the word. Ty for sharing.

Salem’s Centuries is an excellent book. I’m big into the Salem Witch Trials history and this book has been great for understanding the city across a huge time range and with interesting insightful works on a variety of facets.

Wonderful it survived! The upward gaze, the gentle suggestion of a smile or of pleasure. It’s amazing and easy to get lost in its beauty looking at it.

Love it. I’ve lived all over but some of my best journeys have been not so far away or not so much on a main road.

Nice analogy of the “Death Star” movie model. I was younger (20’s) and an experienced art handler/trucker for a company that specialized in art -picking up and delivering high value items for museums,collectors, etc. No cell phones back then, open road for 2 weeks across US in big circle. And art.

Hard to believe how far we’ve taken this in 100 years. For good -and bad.

Love the boar A job once took me to see the original Death Star from Star Wars, in storage, and the curator showed me where the maker had for fun put a toy soldier upside down on the surface -said that no one ever noticed in film bc the eye didn’t expect it Optics seem to enjoy taunting the brain.

Huge big smile of delight! From my retinas to my toes the texture and lively ‘cmon and look I dare you’ bravado of all the surfaces is amazing. The tiles are very much perfectly balanced -like a nice tie would be with a suit that is shameless about inviting people to look at creative success. TY!

We archaeologists tell the stories of the stones not to erase their mystery, not to undo their role as anchoring post for folklore, but to transmit the Long Neolithic. We give context for ghosts, provide new reasons for lithic pilgrimage. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Harald Sohlberg (1869-1935, Norway) created works that evoke the wild nature of the Nordic landscape, from the softness of its flower fields to the harsh beauty of its winters. The often dusk/twilight periods in which Sohlberg's landscapes are set creates a certain mystical mood. Fiskerhuset (1906)

What a beautiful print! So alive…drawing my eye comfortably from one delight to another, and another.

Tom @tomgoddard.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I’ll be looking for it. You have an amazing eye. Buildings like these must have been a real treat for the masons and fabricators to build. With just a tiny nudge to imagination I see an old mason wandering by decades later maybe with a grandchild showing what cool things he’s done in his life.

Amazing!!!! Wow. Thanks for posting it, it’s a delight to see.

Your photography is excellent, again. The way you show the cairn above the horizon and below it, trailing off downslope is especially beautiful in this one.

Tom @tomgoddard.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

sigh.... life must have been so less demanding back then -as far as finding delight. What an idea... and sell.

But the cassiterite is so beautiful! And where would the Bronze Age be without tin? Tough competitor though, that graphite.

You're super fortunate there! It must be amazing to be where history is everywhere, and throughout the isles. I can't think of a finer place- give me moody weather, fine country and dramatic ancient features and I would be so content, and being content is a major thing.

Gösta Hübinette (Sweden, 1897–1980) was known for the extensive, artisanal manipulation of his photographs. He had a strong preference for atmospheric, melancholic landscapes. Within Pictorialism, the goal was not to record reality in a purely documentary fashion, but to convey a painterly quality.

The work is a classic example of Pictorialism, a style in which photography is approached like painting, often featuring an atmospheric, dark, and dreamy tonality. It depicts a hilly landscape at twilight or by moonlight, with two trees and a prehistoric monument (such as a dolmen or *hunebed*) in the center. The signature "G. Hübinette 1928" is visible in the bottom right of the print.

Andrei Dobrynin is a contemporary Russian artist (1985). Dobrynin has a passion for painting directly from nature. His work can be divided into two extremes: ‘en plein air’ painting and nocturnes. In addition to his intimate smaller oil paintings on canvas, Dobrynin creates massive, imposing murals.

The work depicts an atmospheric evening or night landscape (a nocturne) featuring tree silhouettes and a young crescent moon against a blue twilight sky with clouds.

I’m going to look into him…. There’s something special going on. I hesitate to try to describe it. He nailed it might be the easiest description. What the ‘it’ is, is the hard part to put my words to! So glad you posted it.

Tom @tomgoddard.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Beautiful. Drew me in and moved me around, even at times to my own past alive again. The end is so beautifully done with its sudden stop. The silence that comes after it became its own part of the song.

Beautiful! My heart goes for metal-based crystals, such as Galena and pyrite...and this cuprite is amazing. Learned something new today.. Thanks!

absolutely amazingly beautiful. Ive been on a break from here, and to have this be the first thing I see after awhile away... perfect.

Not only are your sketches beautiful, but the way you photograph them with the scene adds a kind of wonder to me in the moment of my seeing it all. Lovely work, wonderful posts. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy them.
