  • Faneuil Hall & the Test of the Gilded Grasshopper (View X2)<br /> 1/30/2010<br /> <br /> Faneuil Hall, located near the waterfront and today's Government Center, in Boston, Massachusetts, has been a marketplace and a meeting hall since 1742. It was the site of several speeches by Samuel Adams, James Otis, and others encouraging independence from Great Britain, and is now part of Boston National Historical Park and a well known stop on the Freedom Trail. It is sometimes referred to as "the Cradle of Liberty".<br /> <br /> The gilded grasshopper weather vane on top of the building was created by silversmith Shem Drowne in 1742. Gilded with gold leaf the copper weather vane weighs eighty pounds and is four feet long.<br /> <br /> Knowledge of the grasshopper was used as a test to determine if people were spies during the Revolution period. The people would ask suspected spies the identity of the object on the top of Faneuil Hall; if they answered correctly, then they were free; if not, they were convicted as British spies. (Wikipedia)

  • Antiques & Collectibles<br /> 1/27/2010<br /> <br /> Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's sunset. <br /> Joda - that was taken from my office window. I have some interesting vistas except for the 4 high tension wires and poles that traverse the views. But one must make do, so I tried to integrate them into the scene as best I could. Thanks for asking.

  • Strollers<br /> 1/22/2010<br /> Best viewed XL<br /> I returned to Lake Quannapowitt to test a Nikon N80 SLR I picked up for my son to use in his Photography 101 course at college. The camera was used and looked a little rough so I took some test shots. Film is very different from digital, if you've forgotten, as I had. In color, this actually came out pretty well but trouble with my scanner resulted in muddy scans, and hence I PP'd it into this B&W image, which I think still looks Ok. The camera is a keeper and after his course, I just may shoot some more with it. <br /> <br /> Tip: Pay attention to this film thing - I think it's going to be big!

  • Dad's Crosley 51<br /> 1/19/2010<br /> According to Jim's Antique Radio Page, the Crosley 51 radio sold between 1924 and 1926 for a retail price of $18.50. It was guaranteed to bring in stations from one thousand miles away except during the day or when conditions were bad!<br /> Two other views can be seen here: <a href="http://bit.ly/8UvSYB">http://bit.ly/8UvSYB</a>

  • “The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time. Football games are won a play at a time. A department store grows bigger one customer at a time. Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments.” David Joseph Schwartz<br /> 1/13/2010<br /> Taken with iPhone
