Amqui Station Farmer’s Market

Last Sunday (June 1) I went out to Madison (aka “Northeast Nashville”) to help my friend Nancy Van Reece with some photo coverage of the inaugural Farmer’s Market at the Amqui Station – a vintage railroad depot that Johnny Cash once owned and donated to the city before he died. The depot has been turned into a museum an rec center in the middle of one of the area’s parks, and will host a farmer’s market every Sunday through the summer.
Unfortunately I was totally lax about getting people’s names. Have to work on that…

Be Sure To Pack Plenty Of These

We have all the photos from our trip to Scotland in 2012 playing in a digital photo frame in the kitchen. I’ve been running the sequence to get ideas for Instagram posts. This one kept showing up, and reminded me: if you’re going to spend a couple of weeks in the UK, you’ll probably want to pack plenty of photos of the Queen. She was a tad younger when this one was made…

The Night Stair

Once there was a stairwell here, which the monks of the Melrose Abbey would descend every morning from their dormitory behind the doorway for their morning prayers. Then they would return to the dormitory to get the rest of their night’s sleep. No telling where those stones are now…in the wall of somebody’s stately home, perhaps…

The Night Stair 140530Since yesterday’s post was so well received, here’s another from the “Portals Of Stone” series – Melrose Abbey in @ScotBorders region. The monks lived in a dormitory behind the upper doorway, and descended the now extinct stairs at 2AM every day for morning prayers.
The GPS Coordinates are 55.5980° N, 2.7310° W since Instagram will only let me tag “nearby” locations, and I’m not there now…. <*sigh*> more at http://ift.tt/1koYz4J

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Finally made it out to Greer Stadium for a Sounds game… This little kid on top of the dugout led the crowd in the seventh-inning-stretch rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”

Rosslyn In The Stars – The Instagram Version

rosslyn
So maybe I mentioned that I’m throwing a lot of my photos in a “frame” and posting them to Instagram, to see what sort of Legion of Followers I can find there. Last week I posted this version of “Rosslyn In The Stars” – the Portals Of Stone of a sunrise/exterior photo of this 15th century chapel a few miles south of Edinburgh which was the location of the final scene in the book and movie “The DaVinci Code.”

#Scotland: The Writers Museum / Edinburgh

We have one of those digital photo frames on the counter in our kitchen. It’s loaded with all the photos from our trip to Scotland in October, 2012. Ann turned it on over the weekend, and I kept seeing this image. It was shot through a window at The Writers Museum on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland (which may be my favorite place in the world). There is probably a name for this effect, with the circular lens in the middle of the pane and the geometric distortions all around it, but I can’t think of it at the moment.
