  1. A souvenir from my #Google+ collection, "Americana", exterminated along with several other large collections.

    Some survived (mostly before and after the 8 years of G+) on my own hand-made pages (fenfotos.com) and thankfully, I posted many favorites on Flickr as well.

    Not this one (until now), but worth a visit if you enjoy this genre &/or time. Enjoy.

  2. Harvest time in "Pennsylvania Dutch" country.

    Bringing in the crop at day's end,
    Photo is from 1983, Kodachrome (KM25)

    This was one of my enduring memories from "Pennsylvania Dutch" country near #Lancaster PA. It was - until now - only online in my large Google+ "Americana Collection"

    (See sample in comment below).

  9. One of #SF's nicknames is “City of Seven Hills.” A reference to the city’s origins and tallest peaks more than a fact. Most include #Telegraph, #Nob and #RussianHill along with #MountDavidson, #TwinPeaks and #MntSutro. Most can't agree on the seventh nor on the amount. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

  20. Despite being purchased for preservation, it wasn't until 1966 that CA followed up on that promise. However, the state didn't follow the hired firm's recommendations. It wasn't until '70 when Ranger #AlexanderWeiss, a Jewish immigrant, found the forgotten poems that the conversation shifted. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

  25. With #SanDiegoInternationalAirport so close to #Downtown, the #FAA has imposed a 500ft or 152m height restriction on buildings within 2.3mi or 3.7km of the airport. In reality, less of restriction, permits may be allowed if the FAA deems it safe. That has yet to happen. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

  30. Due to its role in immigration, #AngelIsland was often called the #EllisIsland of the West. In 1953, #California started to purchase the land from the Department of the Interior or #USDoI to create a park with open space, recreation and historical reservation. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #history

  32. Okie

    J. J. Cale releases his third album on April 30, 1974. This is the "Tulsa Sound" in full bloom -- a blend of blues, country, jazz and country rock that hangs its hat on the groove rather than flashy production. While J.J. was famously shy of the spotlight, his influence here was really solidifying on other artists -- particularly Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler. #jjcale #okie # blues #countyblues #gospel #americana #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky
