Waverly

Kris Lantz — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 18:08:00 GMT

Checked off a bucket list item, and experienced a late-night tour of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, in Louisville, KY. Waverly opened in 1910, to house patients suffering from tuberculosis, and closed in 1961 when medical advancements rendered the building obsolete.
The building's Gothic architecture is quite beautiful, but is home to an overwhelming amount of sadness. Estimates suggest more than 30-thousand have taken their last breaths here.

I didn't get to see the front of the building, so below is from the rear. The sections missing (where you might expect to see) windows is intentional design, as is the shape of the structure. There was a belief that unrestricted sunlight and fresh air were vital parts of the treatment process.

Kloster Machern

RickZeeland — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 13:16:00 GMT

Beautifully renovated monastery on the banks of the river Mosel near Zeltingen, the restaurant is worth a visit too as they serve nice big schnitzels at an affordable price. View Google review[^]

Mont-Royal

RickZeeland — Sat, 15 Jun 2024 13:09:00 GMT

Remnant of a bastion of the enormous Mont-Royal fortress near Traben-Trarbach, it was the biggest fortification at the time (1690). Sadly only parts of it remain as the Sun King ordered it's destruction after the treaty of Rijswijk. View Google review[^]

Small Pocket Park on the Delaware River (just southwest of Philadelphia Pa.)

Gary Stachelski 2021 — Sun, 26 May 2024 12:55:00 GMT

Governor Printz Park is the site of the first permanent settlement (1643) in present Pennsylvania, and it was the Swedish Capitol called the Printzhof. It is about a 5 minute drive from my house. My wife and I enjoy walking around the park. This day was very unusual as the Delaware River was so flat and calm that it looked more like a lake than a river.
(This picture is greatly reduced in size as the first time I tried it, it failed to transfer because it's normal size (4000x3000) was too large. So this is a test at (1024x768)

First adventure of the season

Kris Lantz — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 15:33:00 GMT

I've recently begun experimenting with a new hobby, RC Rock Crawlers. The weather was too lovely to pass up on this last Sunday, so I took two of my kids on a 1/18th scale overlanding trip. It was quite an enjoyable adventure, and they're looking forward to the next.

In a Plane Looking Out the Window

I was on a flight to Phoenix yesterday, and I saw this outside the airplane window!
It's a good thing I was able to take a photo.

View from the citadel of Dinant

RickZeeland — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 16:21:00 GMT

A view from the citadel of Dinant in Belgium, I was surprised during a tour to find out that the Dutch army had rebuilt the citadel into its current form. There were lots of signs inside like "Dutch bakery" and "Dutch forge".

I just finished recabling my computer.

The cables had become a rats-nest: I added the KVM, which added ten cables to the system, then a video capture box with another five and it was getting rather untidy.
Then I changed the video card and ... oh dear.

I lived with it for long enough, but today was the day: reorg the cables, with new colour coded labels at each end so I knew where it had to go back.

Here's some of the cables as I relabeled them - nearly all data, a couple of power cables only:

I was caught on Google Street View earlier this month

Craig Robbins — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 16:05:00 GMT

I was walking my dog down the street earlier this month here in south east Minnesota USA when the Google Street view camera car drove by. We're in a drought hence the dried out lawns.

Best wishes to all - Craig

This past April in Moab Utah

Richard Andrew x64 — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 06:05:00 GMT

I was there for 4 days to take part in many of the off-road trails. It was some of the most amazing scenery I've seen in my life. Temps were reasonable, between 75 F and 85 F (24 C to 30 C). I just checked the weather there and it's supposed to hit 104 F (40 C) tomorrow. Among the sites along one of the trails was a pair of fossilized dinosaur footprints, 75 million years old.

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

My current coding environment

OriginalGriff — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 15:50:00 GMT

You may notice a small impediment to coding has been added recently ... He's 12YO, and discovered laps last week. Now I have problems keeping him off mine, and it makes typing really difficult.

Ah.........okay

Mariana_Trench_From_Port_Window.jpg

Member 15078716 — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 13:23:00 GMT

Naturally lighted. As is.

Last year, about this time, we went exploring in the Mariana Trench and I turned off all the lights inside and out, then took this picture.

Pure, unadulterated beauty. Mariana, Mariana, here is your trench in all its natural beauty for all to see.

A bull whale came by looking for giant squid and stopped to check us out. With the lights on he looked like a shrunken rag with deep folds. With the lights off he looked natural. Oh Mariana.

Snowed last night.

space heater is certainly needed. At least now I have a window view as opposed to the last job which was flickering light he double toothpicks.
