The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

I couldn't but for not seeing the sun it seemed like a lot of blue. So I thought maybe its a sunrise.
Here are some sunsets from last week.

Thanks. I could understand if the location was next to a large body of water (for example) and you knew the location, then you could tell whether the photo was pointing East or West. But all I saw in that photo was a parking lot.

It was difficult to discern rise from set. Very pretty picture nonetheless, thanks for sharing.

No,I feel intrusive if I touch the gravestones. I will pick up their fallen cherubs or flowers, that's about it.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 2:35 am Hey smart ass bitch, in all your photo trips to cemeteries, have you ever done any gravestone rubbings?

Found this old barn at an abandoned farm in the Delaware Water Gap.

Who cuts the grass at an abandoned farm?
Re: UJ Photo Thread

This is part of the Delaware Water gap, and the houses that sit abandoned along there are owned by the state it's like a state park thing, so the grass and everything is mowed by the state. There was a whole story I told about these houses on the Delaware Water Gap but I don't have time right now.

Here's the write up. Old Mine Road is my jam.
"A 1950s proposal to construct a dam near Tocks Island across the Delaware River was met with considerable controversy and protest. Tocks Island is located in the Delaware River a short distance north from the Delaware Water Gap. In order to control damaging flooding and provide clean water to supply New York City and Philadelphia, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed building a dam. When completed, the Tocks Island Dam would have created a 37-mile long lake between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with depths of up to 140 feet and permanently destroying and flooding many homes, towns and villages on both sides of the river. This lake and the land surrounding it were to be organized as the Tocks Island National Recreation Area. Although the dam was never built, 72,000 acres of land were acquired by condemnation and eminent domain. This incited environmental protesters (some say spurred the environmental movement) and embittering local residents displaced by the project's preparations when their property was condemned, then later rented or squatted on by others after they were evicted. After the Tocks Island Dam project failed, the lands seized and acquired by the Army Corps of Engineers was transferred to the oversight of the National Park Service which reorganized them to establish the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
The Army Corps or Engineers began acquiring properties in the proposed area of the lake before the dam itself was even begun, or geologic surveys had even been made! (the arrogance). The Corps had such "confidence" in their ability to do this "big dam project" that nothing was going to stand in their way. Starting in 1960, land in the present day area of the Recreation Area was acquired by the Corps through buy outs and eminent domain. Approximately 15,000 people were displaced by the condemnation of personal property along the Delaware River and the surrounding area. Many residents complained that their property was taken at values well below "fair market value" and they they were "strong armed" out of their properties. Those that refused to take the government's offer were simply condemned, given a buy out price, and forced off their land. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 dwellings and outbuildings were demolished in preparation for the dam project and subsequent flooding of the valley. This included many irreplaceable historical sites and structures connected with the valley's colonial and Native American heritage. The plan was embroiled in controversy and protest by environmental groups and embittered displaced residents. Eventually, because of considerable opposition from environmental activists, the unavailability of government funding, and a geological assessment of the dam's safety due to no bedrock being found in the area where the dam was to be built, the project was never built, but stayed on the books as "active" until it eventually died a quiet death in 1992.
Although a sizable number of structures were demolished during this period, many structures were not demolished.
