In my home city of Sunderland, Washington Old Hall, ancestral home of Founding Father and first president of the United States, George Washington. Back in the day, former USA presidents Ulysses S Grant and Jimmy Carter have both dropped by and said 'hello'.
So, it's a bit sad that our historic ties being strained by all that's happening just now!

The steep cobbles on Durham's Owengate leading up to Palace Green as the city's crown jewel, its majestic Norman cathedral is gradually revealed. So pleased to live so close to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Dusty weights of an apothecary scale (~1900)

#photography #photographyisart #fotografie #fuji #fujifilm #art #photo #35mm #macro #makro #macrophotography #closeup #historic #history #historical #nostalgia #geschichte #old #scales #weightmanagement

The photo shows a close-up of an antique apothecary scale with several small, round weights made of brass. The surface appears slightly worn and aged, with some areas showing oxidation and patina. The weights are arranged in a triangular pattern, and the metal surface has a warm gold tone with subtle reflections. The image features a shallow depth of field, blurring the background elements while highlighting the details of the metalwork. The combination of textures and tones gives the object a vintage or steampunk aesthetic.

The image shows a close-up of an antique balance scale, made of brass around 1900, standing on a wooden surface. The focus is on the central pillar and the small decorative metal weights, which appear slightly worn and aged. The scale’s pan is visible on the right side, hanging by delicate metal chains. The lighting in the image is warm and soft, emphasizing the metallic sheen and the texture of the wooden background. The shallow depth of field creates a sense of depth, drawing attention to the intricate details of the scale.

This black-and-white photograph captures a close-up of an old, worn steamer trunk. The focus is on the sturdy leather handle, which is attached with metal brackets and rivets. The handle shows signs of aging, with cracks and scuffs visible on the surface. The surrounding material of the suitcase is textured leather, also showing wear and tear, including scratches and faded areas.

Below the handle, partially visible, are painted letters that seem to have been worn away over time. The letters "TH" are still somewhat distinguishable, but the rest of the text is heavily faded. The overall composition, with its focus on texture and details, conveys a sense of history and nostalgia. The monochrome color palette emphasizes the aged and rugged nature of the suitcase.

"In The Cobbler's Window"

A collection of shoes and wooden shoe molds is displayed hanging within the shoemaker's shop window in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, casting shadows and adding a rustic charm to the scene. The open window's green frame and the interior's warm lighting create an inviting atmosphere.

"In The Cobbler's Window"

A trip to Colonial Williamsburg is a dream come true for those of us who enjoy history and also value visual beauty. From architectural favorites like government houses, palaces and simple frame or brick residences, each with their own history and story .... to the most everyday of scenes, a garden filled with flowers or a shop window filled with 18th century style shoes, Colonial Williamsburg is a feast for the eye and for the heart.

I took this photo on a trip there in 2017 with the Nikon D7000 camera and my imagination both going at top speed!

The image shows an aerial view of a waterway or canal system, featuring a series of locks that help manage water levels and allow boats to pass through different elevations. Surrounding the locks are green trees, residential buildings, and farmland. The layout suggests a well-planned area for both navigation and habitation.

The former Augustinian Gisborough Priory, was founded in 1119 as the Priory of St Mary by Robert de Brus, an ancestor of the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce.
It's situated in the small attractive market town of Guisborough, which as you can see, has evolved a slightly different spelling.
You wouldn't think it now, but this was once one of the richest monastic foundations in England.
Now in the care of English Heritage, the ruins of Gisborough Priory are regarded as among the finest surviving examples of early Gothic architecture in England.
Unfortunately, there's not a great deal left of what once was and I read that the only reason this bit is still standing is because it was thought to be an attractive backdrop to some gardens that were added later!
