A Northeast Ranch

 In the 1870s at the big bend in the road just north of Sunrise Drive and Gladstone Boulevard stood the Scarritt Mansion.... built by Nathan Scarritt around 1872.. it burned to the ground in 1879... a field was there until the 1950s when this ranch was built by the Hunters.... that family owned the home until Mrs. Hunter passed away a few years ago.  It's on the market and I got to see the inside....



 it's fun to see inside a house you've driven by for years and years......
My usual kit.... Nikon D800 and 14-24mm lens.  ISO 800 inside, 400 outside.  Night shot 6400.













 The basement is HUGE... with multiple rooms and a fireplace.



 The home was constructed with steel beams... unusual for the time..


 Above and below, cedar closet....






 At night.... below.... a great view of the East Bottoms....  
I'm not involved with the selling.... but we want good folks in NE..... here's the listing:

Maple Grove, Indian Mound Trail

The Indian Mound Trail runs from North White to a little past North Elmwood below Gladstone Boulevard... about 1.5 miles of maintained path. Just below Hardesty is Maple Grove which is, in my opinion, the prettiest part of the hike. Some of these images are straight photographs ... others I have manipulated in Photoshop to be more painterly... not that anyone can improve on nature.
