1981 Buick Electra Hearse



She lay there listless, exhausted and fatigued from catering to the ones who have done nothing to help her get to their final destinations.  It's over and her work is done with only the honor of knowing all are grateful through only prayer without a single word spoken.

This is what she humbly did countless times in all conditions without hesitation.  Now it's her time to rest and be catered to as she did to those in need.  A new generation will be born and as time repeats itself time and time again, they too will wither away into dust.

Birds of a Feather are Gone Forever



Wherever you go, you might just find something that was abandoned right in your own back yard.  Here we have a house...  Not the typical house that you might see on an Urban Exploration Website, but a house that was once lived in by a family through many generations.

But once each generation were old enough to be on their own, the Parents who became Grandparents and then Great Grandparents soon passed on leaving their cozy beds empty.  Now what's left is the swinging remnants of a house that once was a home with no sign of life ever to enter again.

Paramount Theatre ~ Asbury Park, New Jersey



Embellishments from the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, New Jersey.  These ornamental toppers mount on the upper most part of the Theater and look the size of a spool of thread.  But when down on the ground they are quit mammoth in size and heavy.

When taking this photograph, the exterior was in restoration phase which was giving the building new life.  Though the new life it was given, the Paramount Theatre never once stopped operating.

John is Able


John's little Fable
To build a Table
That's so Stable
Within the Stable
Under the Gable
Without a Cable
Nor a Stabile
Etched with a Label

John is Able
To build that Table
That's so Stable
Within the Stable
Under the Gable
Nor a Stabile
Etched with a Label
That's John's Fable

Wells Fargo & Company



Wells Fargo's incredibly strong Concord stagecoaches were crafted with the state of the art materials by the Abbot-Downing Company of Concord, New Hampshire.  These Coach Makers were regarded with the highest expectations and reputation.  Wells Fargo stagecoaches provided in the nineteenth century, speedy service across a vast territory.  The aka: Butterfield Overland route stretched all the way to the Pacific starting in 1858.

Wells Fargo operated the Major Overland stagecoach route west of the Missouri River, covering over 2,500 miles of territory from California to Nebraska and Arizona to Idaho.  Nothing other than skilled Drivers guided these coaches pulled by a team of four to six horses, at an average speed of five miles per hour.  Stops were made on the average of every twelve miles to change horses, and about every forty-five miles or so to allow the Driver and Passengers to relax and have a bite to eat.

Profanity Houses of the Rutherfurd Stuyvesant Estate



Mother Nature has been on my side and I was able to take advantage of her on my time off.

I ventured to the once Rutherfurd Stuyvesant's Estate in Allamuchy, New Jersey which the mansion is long gone due to a fire, but many other structures still remain in not so fair condition.  Most know these house as "The Profanity Houses" for an angry person wrote profanities on every conceivable inch of space directed to those who done him wrong.  I usually don't launch where I just visited on my website right away.  However, this I couldn't wait to share with you and pretty much devoted the entire update to it.  Six galleries with a virtual tour of each structure, entering every room.  I must warn you, if you're offended by vulgar, explicit language, then this isn't for you.

Enjoy the updates!

 Peace, Love & Happiness
