I liked them all. Nicely done!
Very nicely done! From the fact that there is an Engineer aboard, I'm assuming that locomotive is functional.
Not what I expected, but a fine shot.
Nicely done. Sharp and colorful.
Beautiful old barn, nicely rendered.
Very nicely done! Transmits the flavor of the event very well. Glad I can't smell it, though--I am not fond of the odor of black powder. As another mentioned, rifled barrels changed marksmanship--so did introduction of percussion caps and smokeless powder. (I like the smell of most smokeless powder.)
Very nicely done! I think #3 is my fave.
A very fine set--great variety. What was #3?
A wonderful wrapup! Greatly enjoyed the series.
John, nice to hear from you. Thanks for the nice words. (My name is David, though.)
Hi, Rick. Thanks very much. I'm glad you liked it.
Joe, yes, it is unusual. I don't believe I've ever seen curtains before, either.
srfmhg, I agree it's not as aesthetic as most of the churches I post, but I don't judge when I decide to make a post--I like churches, simple or elegant.

Wow! The years of faith that church must have seen! And a nice commodious outhouse, too. Very sturdy!
Thanks for looking! Two outhouses (I didn't look inside). The piano was in fair tune, so I think the church may have still been in use.

Interesting David - I heard of this abbey, but it had sort of slipped into the background - will have to note this down for when I am in the area - thanks for posting - Joe
You're welcome. It is worth a visit. Thanks for commenting.
Hi, Doug. My grandparents in Arkansas had a 2-holer out back and I’ve used it several times when I was a kid. Never enjoyed it. Sears or Wards catalogues for paper, of course. I don’t know when I’ll get back to Arkansas again. Both my parents are buried at Pleasant Grove, a little town on AR-14 between Mountain View and Batesville. Interesting story about your old church.
Delderby, don’t think I’ve run into you before. Nice to see you. No, those were 2 different outhouses.
blacks2, thank you for the 4 thumbs. I’m glad you liked them.
Stash, thank you very much for the nice comment and the thumbs.
Hello, phlash46. Thanks a lot for your comment. I’m pleased you liked it.
bob7fred, I think you’re new to me, also. Thank you for the nice words. I don’t know about the bell.
Earnest, so glad you liked this set. Thanks a lot.

I enjoyed looking at your other photos. We definitely had the same Danube River cruise. Thanks for the rerun.
Possibly, or also possibly just similar ones. I sailed with Avalon Waterways (now part of Globus), but I know that Viking and others also offer virtually identical cruises.

Thanks David. I enjoyed your photos. I grew up in Sturbridge and lived there until I moved 8 miles away a few years ago. I get to the Village quite often.
You are very fortunate. I'm pleased you liked my pictures.
