What is your view?

[JBtheExplorer]

Well, I'm still going through my photos from camping, but I managed to take another hundred or so today, so I'll have to go through them once I'm done with the camping photos. Saw some cool things today. Might create another thread for today's adventure or I may just add it to the camping thread I plan on posting. Here's one photo from today. This is a fog horn house along Lake Michigan. It's been converted into a small museum! It's great that a historic building gets used and open to the public rather than being torn down.

I've seen lighthouses but I don't think I've ever seen a fog horn house! Wouldn't have wanted to live in close proximity to it

This is the view looking out our kitchen window. We have deer and turkey come up in our back yard in the evening. Fall is coming and the trees are just starting to turn colors.

I agree! Not the type of "house" I'd want to live in.

It sits near a lighthouse. It's kind of like a lighthouse's cousin.

Visited an old mining township called Clunes in Victoria on the weekend on a very nostalgic trip. I lived there as a child in the 1950s and one of the 2 homes we lived in has been turned into a wonderful b&b. It was called Hillcrest when we lived there and still is With permission from the owners my 2 older brothers and younger sister and I had a walk around the garden. The house was built in the late1800s and has been converted into 2 apartments, one upstairs one downstairs. The garden is magnificent. The circular drive way still has the original partitions, now filled with cottage garden flowers but was lawn when we lived there. My brothers remember having to lift up the lawn mower to mow these sections. Check out the australiana wombat seat carved out of a very large log, must have been a tree trunk.

Here's an old cabin in the woods from my camping trip. It sits all by itself in the middle of the forest, along a six mile trail. I believe the first time I remember seeing it was in 2012, and I thought it was the creepiest place. Just a random spooky cabin in the woods.

Of course, now days I see something like this and think "I wish I lived in a place like this". As long as it has electricity and internet access, of course!

I tried to find information about the history of this cabin, but there doesn't seem to be any, other than what's on the small sign in front of the cabin. It's called the Grover/Smith cabin, it was built in 1929 and restored in 2003. That's about all the information that exists about it. No special history that I'm aware of, but interesting regardless.

Mmm .......would make a lovely weekend bolt hole.......but agree that it is rather spooky looking . Think I would need the full history of it first , but then I am a scaredy cat

Coming home after feeding the birds yesterday. We have a warm chinook arch (warm air from the Pacific Ocean racing down the east side of the Rocky Mountains).

The edge of my hill looking down to the centre of Calgary and the chinook arch in the sky looking west.

No, mind out of the gutter. With the past several days warm and a lot of rain,.......the first I have ever seen out in nature. Stinkhorn and wow do they live up to the name.

Apologies for this shot, I'd backed myself as far as possible into a bush to take it.
