Masonic Doors

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

These are the right side front doors of the Kyle Lodge 422 in Whitesburg TN.  The building once housed a successor to the old Bent Creek Baptist Church, established in 1785 a mile or so away on the Old Stage Road.

I don’t know why I like old doors.  But I do.  This one’s in Greeneville TN.

Talley Bridge, Old and New

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

On the left is the current Edward Talley box trusser over the Clinch River on 70 South, at Kyles Ford, Hawkins County, TN.  On the right, obviously, is the new bridge being constructed.  Note that the old bridge has six piers and the new bridge just two.  You can’t see it in this picture, but just beyond the other side of the bridge, by the road, is a truck with a massive steel I-beam.  Times change.

Street Sign

Posted on

This is in Loyall KY.  We couldn’t figure out why it was named this.  I looked it up.  It’s a family name, from Scotland.  There’s an Unthank Street in Middlesboro, too.

Teddy bear

We were scouting around the remains of an old house and barn near Cawood KY and came across this discarded bear in a trash pit behind the house.
Some one remembers this, I’m sure.

Hello, it must be spring

When the red, red robin comes, well, you know.  Actually you can see robins here all year ’round, but this kind of fits the date.

Brick Grave Markers

I’d never run across brick grave markers before.  These are in a remote multi-family cemetery in Southwest Virginia.

A school picture, taken in 1960.  Mom had it hanging on the wall for ages and it faded badly.  Here’s the original scan of the actual photo and what a little Photoshop Elements tweaking can do.

Nice sweater, kid

Of course, the shirt and the pants are too big…
