Yorktown Pub

DailyPhoto for Saturday, May 18,2013

A three exposure fusion shot I took last week and worked on this morning. It was a bright sun approaching high noon when I shot it, but I kind of like the way it turned out. To me it has a nice small-town-America local eatery feel to it. As you can see, the pub sits below a cliff. To its front is the York River, that flows to the Chesapeake Bay.

Have a great day!

Nevermore

DailyPhoto for Thursday, May 17, 2013

It was interesting to me that, while I was shooting this particular wall at Fort Monroe, this single
raven-black bird came from out of the blue and decided to perch in the middle of my frame. Interesting because it is under the roof of this very wall where there is the Fort's museum and a display which prominently features Edgar Allen Poe. While Poe was in the Army, he served at Fort Monroe in 1829. And much later in life, as it happens, Poe gave his last public recital of his poetry at Fort Monroe only two weeks before his very mysterious death in Baltimore on October 7, 1849, a recital which included one of his most famous poems, The Raven:

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'......"

".....And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"
