Original Homestead

Marvin, NC  2023

This appears to be some original buildings that might have sat on this property before the developers came in. I'm not sure, however.  You can see a water wheel in the shot below.  They sit at an entrance to a pretty exclusive community having large houses on big lots.  They could've been part of the original property then moved to his location. 

You can see the water wheel in this shot, but there doesn't appear to be any water source.  

 

Community Well

Waxhaw, NC  2023

This is a restored reproduction of a community well that originally located a little east of this current location.  The well was in use into the 1920's.  Can you imagine having to come to a community well for your water?

 I can't vouch for this claim.  It could very well be the best food in Charlotte.

Great Wagon Road Distillery

Waxhaw, NC  2023

The Great Wagon Road Distillery is the oldest distillery in Charlotte, NC.  They recently opened a tasting room, retail store in downtown Waxhaw.  They're planning on opening a bar at this site sometime this summer and will be able to make small batch craft whiskeys.  

 

N Main St

I recently upgraded my old iPhone 8 to the new iPhone 14 Pro Max.  I wanted to spend some time learning about the camera with the iPhone so I was out and about in downtown Waxhaw.  The camera is pretty impressive.  

End of an Era

Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC  2023

Originally I wasn't going to post this picture.  The color version didn't look all that good, but it looks much better in Black and White.  The picture represents the last photograph taken with my Nikon D90.  The shutter/mirror mechanism failed on my next attempted shots.  I purchased the camera in 2012, and it has served me well.  A quick diagnosis at a local camera repair shop indicated it was probably not worth the expense to repair it.  The money is better spent on a new, more modern camera.  I learned a lot about photography with this camera.  I'm sad to see it go.  

Yumi Chair II

Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC 2023

 We also viewed some of the permanent galleries of the Mint Museum.  This chair caught my eye, by artist/designer Laura Kishimoto.
