Gary - It is now Sunday evening, can you see the picture now. If you can't, I don't know what is wrong. All the other pix on this page were from the same hosting site. I do know, that it sometimes goes down. I just got back on my computer after a couple of days, so if the hosting site was down, I didn't know about it.
Monument in the Stadtgottesacker (city cemetery), Halle (Saale), Germany. This was laid out in 1557, and is not affiliated with any church.
Memorial Library - Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Every Thursday night during the summer, a band concert is held here - and has been for well over 75 years.
North Conway (NH) train station in the beautiful White Mountains. This is home base for train rides featuring diesel and steam locomotives.
Bassett Hall kitchen. This was the home of John D. Rockefeller,Jr at Williamsburg, Virginia. I am old enough to have used many of the items in the kitchen including: the porcelain sink, the jar opener (in front of the cans over the radiator), the enameled pots, the egg beater behind the coffee percolator, and the stainless steel canister set.
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Bristol, Maine. The light tower is on the right and has a 4th order Fresnel lens. The red building in the center is the bell house. This is where the large fog bell was. The tower behind it contained the clockwork mechanism that struck the bell. The red building on the left, is the kerosene storage shed. It was so far away from the house in the event it caught fire. This is one of the most accessible lighthouses on the coast of Maine. During the summer there is a museum in the keeper's house and you can climb to the top of the light tower. As you can see from the picture, the ledges below the lighthouse are open to the public.
Camden, Maine The schooner Grace Bailey (formerly the Mattie) is on the right. She was built in 1882 and carried on trade until 1939. She was then converted to a passenger configuration. She still carries on that tradition by taking tourists on 3-7 day excursions. She has no engine so is solely dependent on the wind for propulsion. On these cruises, there is always a clambake that includes steamed clams, mussels, corn-on-the-cob, and, of course, lobster. Her last major restoration finished in 1990.
