The Carson Mansion is regarded one of the finest Victorian, if not the grandest Victorian in the United States. It was located in what is now Old Town Eureka, California and was the home William Carson (one of California’s largest lumber barons) when it was built in 1886. Today, it is a private club. | GarettPhotography
When The Green Man pub went out of business, not only was it abandoned, it was sealed up underground, where it still lies buried beneath this shopping mall.
It currently lies beneath four retail shops and can only be accessed by a hole under in the commercial center.
The Green Man in Loughborough, UK was a popular local pub decorated like a Medieval castle with large wall murals depicting knights and life in the middle ages. The murals still remain, as well as the benches and the bar complete with dusty beer glasses.
It closed its doors for the last time in 1993 when its entrance was walled up during renovation work on the shopping center.
It still has electricity and this sitting area is intact.
Lovely curved wood bar with a now-rusty foot rail.
One of the Medieval murals.
A former DJ for the pub submitted some old photos to the local paper, taken at the Green Man between ‘87-’88.
This was the entrance as it looked in the mall back then.

These are some covers for some books that don’t exist, but I wish that they did because I would read them in an instant

THE GARDEN
Sun Spot Hill : Is this giant orange ball about to roll down that tree-lined hill? No, because the giant orange ball is actually the Sun. Our Solar System’s central star was captured rising beyond a hill on Earth twelve days ago complete with a delightfully detailed foreground. The Sun’s disk showed five sunspots, quite a lot considering that during the solar minimum in solar activity of the past few years, most days showed no spots. A close look at the hill – Sierra del Cid in Perter, Spain – reveals not only silhouetted pine trees, but silhouetted people – by coincidence three brothers of the photographer. The trees and brothers were about 3.5-kilometers away during the morning of the well-planned, single-exposure image. A dark filter muted the usually brilliant Sun and brought up great detail on the lower sunspots. Within a few minutes, the Sun rose far above the hill, while within a week, the sunspots rotated around the Sun, out of view. The captured scene, however, is now frozen in time for all to enjoy. via NASA

This is marble. He was 23 years old when he finished this. Brilliant.
A few recent bouquet commissions
Firefly Milky Way over Russia : It started with a pine tree. The idea was to photograph a statuesque pine in front of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. And the plan, carried out two months ago, was successful – they both appear prominently. But the resulting 3-frame panorama captured much more. Colorful stars, for example, dot the distant background, with bright Altair visible on the upper left. The planet Saturn, a bit closer, was captured just over the horizon on the far left. Just beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, seen in the upper right, an Earth-orbiting satellite was caught leaving a streak during the 25-second exposure. The Earth’s atmosphere itself was surprisingly visible – as green airglow across the image top. Finally, just by chance, there was a firefly. Do you see it? Near the image bottom, the firefly blinked in yellow several times as it fluttered before the rolling hills above Milogradovka River in Primorsky Krai, Russia. via NASA
With the right combination of elements, it was theorized, any substance on earth might be formed.
