Ridiculously charming

More pictures from Lacock.  You can see the complete set on my flickr.

Lovely tree

Most of the houses had flowers and ivy madly crawling about.

"Antique furniture and resident ghost"

Alert Janeites will appreciate knowing that the exterior of the Red Lion stands in for the Meryton Inn, site of the dance where Mr. Darcy sees Elizabeth Bennett for the first time in the 1995 Pride & Prejudice. 

Cat in the cemetery

Other wildlife of Lacock, schoolchildren

Tithe barn dating from the 14th century.  This is where tithes in the form of crops and livestock were stored until the church made use of them.

But, of course, a blue door.

Light of knowledge, embodied by my place of work

The library where I work, a fitting illustration for Alberto Manguel's book "The Library at Night."

Snow

Snow is the weight of silence.

More snowy scences at Slate.

Herding cats

Taking pictures of cats is like trying to herd them.

 

Face that launched a thousand ships

Got a kick out of D.'s blog post for today.

Oh, to be in Greece where the gods walked!

Circling over the earth

Satellites took some interesting images of the inauguration. The people look like ants. How funny, considering the magnitude of this event in human terms.

My friend in Greece has taken (and still is taking) absolutely astoundingly breathtaking pictures from his time in Greece.

I can't get over this one. My heart seizes, I hear the wind blowing, and my legs itch, wanting to explore this beautiful place.

Roan Mountain

I've added pictures from our trip to Roan Mountain in 2007 to my flickr account. Also note my new flickr badge to the right. Hopefully, I'll be adding more pictures to flickr so that people can view them wherever they are.

I wrote about our trip to Roan Mountain in a previous blog post.

Library of Congress on Flickr

Answering the nation's need for womanpower, Mrs. Virginia Davis made arrangement for the care of her two children during the day and joined her husband at work in the Naval Air Base, Corpus Christi, Texas. Both are employed under Civil Service in the Asse

Check out some neat pictures on flickr. The Library of Congress has uploaded two collections of photographs to flickr as an experiment to see what the response would be in user-tagging and the like.

While the collections have uninspiring titles like "1930s-40s in color" and "News in the 1910s," they are pretty neat to look through.
