and then I recalled that a magnificent 8-foot-tall ship tops one of our notable buildings nearby,
in Albany, New York. (our state capitol) This gorgeous weathervane of Henry Hudson’s
“Half Moon” is (I believe) the largest weathervane in our nation. It is absolutely magnificent.

Onward and UPward!

I like to look up myself and have tried to photograph quite a few of them — but even the most beautiful ones are usually too far away for my camera. Unfortunately.

I had to smile heartily at Marcia’s childhood memory!

Love & Peace

A beautiful coalition of nature and man’s artistry. There, I’ve just voiced what should be a world aim.

The church was hit by such a bomb in during WW2.

Having said that, when I was a child I walked into a lamp post ‘cos I wasn’t looking where I was going, and ended up with a big lump on my forehead – and when I cried, was told that I should have been looking where I was going! No sympathy there then!
