Hey S.P., fantastic beautiful sealion photos. Outstanding, great light, wish I was there.
Love both those shots.

I traveled by Morgan yesterday and thought of you. The geography of the mountains in this area change from ? some kind of rocks to rocks made of sand stone. The mountain by Echo dam and by the spillway look like they would be more at home in southern Utah. I always want to stop and photograph them but the light is never right. I need to go either earlier or later in the day to capture them. Do you remember them or did you not go there?

when I was just starting learning photography and focusing on black and white. Learning to see the different shades of both. Then into the darkroom. I can still smell the chemicals ... Do you know if the building is still in use?
I have forgotten what this building was used for. It's on the shore of Lake Michigan. Don't look at the artifacts. I haven't had time to clean this up after scanning it.

We would stop there after waterskiing all through the summers. After snow skiing through the years. Get together with friends from all walks of life and party there. After biking in the area. Or just for fun after work or for the hell of it.
If you visit your brother again have him take you. It's in Huntsville and it's so very easy for him to get there now since Trappers loop was built during the readiness for the Olympics.
Donny and Marie and the rest of the Osmonds were raised there. And yes. It has the best burgers. We'd have contests to see how fast people could eat two. Not fast.

Pick your time though. It's very small inside with just 5 booths that seat 4 and a few tables back by the pool table. The jukebox had great songs on last time I was there. Mule Train was always joltin out as well as Why don't we get drunk and screw and others that I've forgotten.
This isn't the one who sang it there. That one was more high floolutin
@snoopydawg
love the first shot. The fog makes it magical. What a gorgeous old building and what a great shot. glad to supply you with photos of the sea. I try to get out there more now just to grab some photos. Should be a good this weekend and we are having more storms.

I read that you are getting lots of rain again and big waves. This is what I enjoy the most about the ocean and watching wave after wave crash on the beach. I went to Virginia Beach and was surrounded by 6 footers and had such a great time. There is just something about the ocean that sings to my soul.

It looks like a mill of some kind, it's very evocative. Logging and lumbering could be a good guess.

@dystopian
tim Flannery talks about them in Here on Earth - about how leaf cutters are super organisms - the way they structure their society.
His argument is largely a response to Richard Dawkins’ concept of “the selfish gene” and the perceived unchanging need for competition and resulting conflict. Without dispensing with Darwin’s theory of natural selection, Flannery asserts that if life optimizes its own conditions to thrive, and if super-organisms such as leaf-cutter ants can suppress conflicts of interests between individuals, then humans could also behave as a super-organism to steward Earth’s assets.

There was an Atlantic article last November informing us why Gold Medal and other Yankee flours can't make biscuits that are as fluffy and tasty as those made using Southern flour.
Robert Dixon Phillips, a retired professor of food science at the University of Georgia, says that to make a good biscuit, “you want a flour made from a soft wheat,” he says. “It has less gluten protein and the gluten is weaker, which allows the chemical leavening—the baking powder—to generate carbon dioxide and make it rise up in the oven.” It turns out that in most of the U.S., commonly available flours are made from hard wheats, which serve a different purpose. “Hard wheats are higher in gluten protein, and when they’re turned into a dough, the dough is very strong and elastic and can trap carbon dioxide,” says Phillips. If you want to make bread, you want a hard wheat. Northern biscuits suck because they are made with bread flour.

The Gold Medal building is so oddly satisfying to look at. Your photo captures it perfectly. The workhouse and signs on top of the grain elevators really work as a whole even though I find it difficult to describe why. It’s very brutal looking in its austere concreteness, but also somehow organic.

but not sure. This was taken in the 80's and I've lost a few brain cells since then. But there looks like logs in the water.
