Quite a coincidence Pat....I do this stuff! (Not in the same profounder as yours tho) however I have a couple prepared for this Challenge. Stories and history concerning photography would be the missing cherry on the cake. THANK YOU


I love stories and am a frustrated writer. Images are now my medium for telling a story (or letting the viewer make up a story from what they see)

Here you go Pat...

As you look as these houses they pose a question, what, why etc. Well these houses were built way back in the day ..way back..and back then everyone heated with wood so the construction was done with the smallest part of the house, the sides, facing the predominant winds hence less heat loss had they been politically correct and placed it parallel to the road. You will notice that on the sides there is only one window most times...to save heat.

Now why are they backwards? Back in the day all country roads were not paved hence on windy days or passing traffic, dust would blow into the house in the summer and also forget sitting out on the porch too. In the third photo you can see a small door there, that was putin so as to bring in wood and it is right next to the road.

They are very common around here and even in the villages andalso occasionally you'll se a barn built at the same angle as the house.

I had the pleasure to learn this from a farmer and I will post another series on the same subject later.
Here you go Pat... br br As you look as these ho... (show quote)



That is so interesting. And who would ever stop and ponder long enough to notice or ask a question - not many.

Pat your story makes me think of a young man that I worked with in the Minneapolis area that made the news having a organ transplant at a young age. If I remember righty he was around two.

Great story, Pat. I see how this ties in with that USM course.


Thanks, Dennis, yes. I think of that course a lot now when I shoot.

On our last visit to Ca. We toured an unusual estate in Campbell,Ca. This house was moved from it's original place in Campbell to

it's current spot close to the center of town. They moved it over a bridge and he,he- through the woods to it's resting place. This

was accomplished via train and rolling logs. Lots of people observed the transition.


p.3 WOW, quite a story, Judy and such beautiful interior. Looks spectacular all decorated up for Christmas.

Good for her - and beautifully captured and edited too. I'd love to hear her.

Lakewood Park history: On the other side of the fence is a small cove which was used as a Station in the Underground Railroad in which slaves from the South were guided to freedom via boats across Lake Erie.

Not sure what today’s topic is, but I think this qualifies. Note that the scene is spotlighted so it must be important. Shot in Tucson foothills.


When I look at your image it makes me wonder - why is there a light in the bottom right corner. If it lights the wheelbarrow, what does it look like lit? And is the owner artistic? Is it part of a Tuscon yard holiday display? Why did someone decide to put this little garden together? That's what I see and questions I'd ask.

That's really interesting, Karin. Can you imagine how scary it must have been to be a slave on the run? Or to be part of the UNderground always wondering if you'd be caught.
