My House...Part 2 of 2

The second to last photo is an original Lincoln Highway marker. The "Lincoln Highway"was the first road across the United States. This is located at the end of my drivevway.

The last picture is actually a shot of the steeple that is on my neighbors roof. I had to stand on my not so stable fence and pull myself up onto his roof. While doing this I managed to scrape my forearm on the shingles. The only way down was to jump off of the 10' ledge onto the driveway. (I didn't completely think the whole thing through prior to climbing up there)

My House....Part 1 of 2

There are days that go by that I don't get a chance to take any photos and sometimes it bothers me, so I decided to walk around my yard and snap shots of things I see on a daily basis. Well, the sunflower is no longer with us but it did grow to be about 9' tall before the cold weather came.

I saw this the other day while i was walking in downtown York. Its kinda disturbing.

Hickey School

In 1850 this center began as the House of Refuge in Baltimore City. It was an early effort to separate children from adult criminals in jails. After a few name changes, the center moved to its present site near in northern Baltimore County. In 2005, the Governor orderd that the center be closed and be replaced with a new regional detention center.

Paper Mill

This site has been part of the area's industrial scene since 1798. It closed all of its operations in 2000. In 2002, the site was a possible location for the new minor league baseball team, however that fell through and is now a local college agrees to buy the property as space for expected expansion in the coming decades. No set plans are known. The going price is be tween $5 million and $6 million.

Buffalo

Tom, Mark, Fife and myself made a trip to Buffalo in July. Long drive, but well worth it.

Old and Forgotten

Pennhurst is no hidden secret to any photographer who enjoys tresspassing and exploration. Hidden deep in the woods and what seemed like what took hours to hike there, we finally came upon the massive abandoned structures that once housed thousands of patients. The underground tunnels made it very easy to explore several buildings without even stepping outside of any of the buildings.
