Up, Up, and it still will not run - most likely.

I always think of Ron's car in Harry Potter when I see this 'gem", mounted for posterity. 

Studebaker Truck

An old Studebaker truck put to rest in Jerome AZ.  I never even knew one existed until I chanced upon this one.

Beaufort National Cemetery

The Beaufort National Cemetery is a hauntingly beautiful and reverent place under large old live oaks draped in Spanish moss surrounded by old brick walls. It was officially built in 1863 to handle the burials of Union soldiers during the Civil War, however it had been handling interments since 1861. Since that time it has had interments from every major American conflict, including the Spanish-American War, Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. 

Meadow Brook Hall

Sometimes you have to go large, as in Meadow Brook Hall, the estate of Matilda Dodge Wilson (as in Chrysler Dodge) in Rochester. Michigan. The 110 room Tudor-Revival Mansion built between 1926 and 1929 sits on a 320 acre farm. The house and gardens are quite lovely.

Atalaya

And, then there is Atalaya, the winter home of Archer M. Huntington and his wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Sometimes referred to as "Atalaya Castle" because Mr. Huntington built and designed the residence in the Moorish Revival and Mediterranean Revival  Architecture styles from Spanish Andalusian coast models. It is a 200 foot by 200 foot square structure built around a courtyard, constructed between 1931 and 1933. It sits just behind the dunes off the Atlantic ocean.

Tiderunner

Generations of families off the sea islands of South Carolina have made a living off the sea. Shrimping, in particular, have been popular (and sometimes prosperous) vocations. This old trawler, the Tiderunner, has seen better days, has been taken out of commission, and now just sits tied in the marsh, as time takes its toll on her old wooden soul.

Peanuts for Sale

I can't say for sure, but I do not think you can get Peanuts any longer at this establishment. Kudzu has staked its claim.

Red Roof Edisto House

An old house on Edisto Island having seen better days. Wisteria in the trees, shutters barely hanging on . . . once it was someone's home.

A Shady Tub

Perhaps these folks could work a deal with their neighbors (with the John by the barn). 

Outdoor Porcelain

You never know what you will find riding down a road. And, some sights require one to stop, turn around, go back just to make sure, "Is that really what I thought that was?" And, in fact, yes it was. Outdoor plumbing? 

And, for good reference, I checked a month or so ago (4 years from when the picture was first taken) and yes, it is still there.

Rose Covered Fence

Found on a road in Lexington County, SC, a bank of wild pink roses growing on a fence. The pastoral scene in not what comes to mind when most folks think about South Carolina. However, there is a lot of pasture, old fence lines, and old barns across the country side. Lexington County has lovely rolling hills.

Old House Trailer

This lovely abode was found by the railroad tracks in the small town of Livingston, SC (population 135).

I have no idea how old this house trailer is. And, I assume no one lives in it, given the brush is totally grown up around it. My question is: Will it just sit here until it just rusts to pieces and fall in on itself? Whatever, I found it to be curiously colorful.

Steamboat Landing House

This house is located on Steamboat Landing Road on Edisto Island in SC. The blue trim around the door ways and windows is traditional to the low country Gullah culture. The Gullah people believed that the indigo color paint surrounding all the openings of the house (the windows, doors, etc.) kept the "haints" out (ie the bad spirits.) When I was younger I can remember houses with blue trim being every where in the low country. Now they are hard to find.

This house also looks like it may have been a "Juke Joint" at one time. (ie a small time country bar). FYI the term "Juke Box" came from music played in a "Juke Joint".
