Old New Hampshire Home

 Home of only Quaker in Puritan town (1600s), Portsmouth, New Hampshire - looking southerly

As Jack of Hartford/Naples would say, this photo is "out of jurisdiction."  I was lucky enough to spend last weekend in New Hampshire, made even better by my own personal tour guide (my daughter).  We did a quick look around Portsmouth on part of New Hampshire's 18-mile coastline on the Atlantic ocean. True that's not a LOT of coastline but it sure was picturesque!

 Front door

When this house was built (1642) most of the people here were of the religious group called Puritans.  But the owner of this house was Quaker George Walton - innkeeper, planter and tailor. The "exciting" part of his life was a land dispute in 1682, which he won. The loser was heard to say Walton would never enjoy the land...and sure enough, George Walton was cursed with a "shower of stones." Was the loser a witch? Who knows for sure whether there was a real connection or not...but the shower of stones DID happen.  (Apparently Walton was unpopular with the locals for other reasons besides the land dispute.)

Abandoned Barn 2

 Easterly end of abandoned barn in colour

This is the other end of the log barn I posted on Monday HERE   It was a very bright day when I took this photo and - looking in this direction - the weathered wood looks a bit "washed out." We were just traveling through so I didn't want to wait for less harsh light. When I darkened it a bit, the wood took on a bluish cast, which wasn't at all what I had seen with my naked eye...

so I decided to see what this end of the barn looked like in B&W.

Wagon Wheels

 Old, but not antique, wagon

Like most of you, I'm sure, I liked the colour version of this photo (below) too, but I couldn't resist checking out what it looked like in B&W.

 Original photo

Sitting on a grassy plot amongst dandelion seed heads. What photographer could resist?

Shed and Fence

 Original photo of shed

I like this shed as it is (although I would prefer it cropped somewhat) but also wanted to play with it to see what would happen.
