So hopefully by now most of you folks will have heard about how SSL (the protocol used when you're signing into secure websites like your bank, Amazon, etc.) has been hacked. If you haven't, take a moment to look at this site, as well as pretty much any newspaper. Back when I set up...

I was hiking in the Parker Preserve this afternoon (3/23) when I smelled fire. I saw some lightly billowing white smoke which I wasn't sure was a fire or not. I could have just been smelling someone's wood burning stove. Anybody know if something was going on south of Chatsworth today?

Hello all - Sorry I have been MIA for a while. The company that makes the software that runs the forums here has released a major update. I'm looking to upgrade the site probably sometime before the summer. We're already a release or two out of date. Since this is a major update to their...

I went out to explore Belcoville and Estell Manor the other day. I haven't really been able to find a lot of concrete (no pun intended) evidence of what buildings are left at Belcoville. I went down the park road that brings you to the boat launch area and saw the big concrete fire suppression...

I'm starting to get back into film photography. I'm looking for a few things, so I figured I'd ask here and see if folks had stuff that they were looking to part with: Film: 35mm and 120 - doesn't matter if it's expired. Color and B&W. 35mm camera stuff: Pretty much looking for anything...

I stopped by Mary Ann Forge today. I've never seen the water in the Mount Misery Brook so low. It's exposed a lot more of the ruined bridge/dam. I took some pics but they're kind of lousy since I was shooting into the sun. The water in (what I think is) the raceway for the forge is also...

The other day I decided to travel out to Howardsville to take some pictures of the area as the sun set. I hadn't been there in 10 years, and I remembered that the road that takes you in from Bryant Rd. was in bad, but passable shape. That's not so true anymore. Right off the bat there's a...
