When a hurricane came upon us in late summer of 2011, we retreated to Pennsylvania for a few days to avoid the power outages and floods. While there, we discovered a place called Fort Ligonier. A well-preserved colonial fort, it includes pikes, barricades and all the amenities of the 1700s.
One of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever been on as a family was to Nova Scotia in late summer 2012. I returned with nearly 2,000 photos from that trip, some of the best of which were from this spectacular seaside graveyard.
We also visited a coal mine, which was a fascinating experience – especially with the lights out!
When I lived in Sheffield, I worked at the city’s largest mall, Meadowhall. An industrial town, the mall was built to match. Rumor has it that, as one of the first malls in the country, its success was so uncertain that it was designed to be converted to a prison with a minimum of effort should it not survive as a mall.
I have a lot of fond memories of working here, and few that I’d rather forget; still, walking out at night to the dark skies and bright lights was always captivating.
