Magha Puja Full Moon, Thailand (81)
21 Jan 13. Since I started this Daily Image mailing back in 2006, I've sold a total of two, and only two, images, both of which were nighttime images and both contained the moon. One was of a tree in an open field with a quarter moon shining down on the tree in early 2006, and the other was of the rising moon over the Seattle cityscape in 2007. So I thought it might be time for another nighttime moon scape - that may seem redundant but the moon is often quite visible during daylight hours - this time with some mountains. So I've selected an image from the trip last week up to shoot the eagles, and one that I shot a couple years ago, and put them together, much as I did with the image in 2006. I have no illusions that this will be the third seller, just thought it might be time to go with something that has had appeal on previous attempts. Nikon D300s; 18 - 200; Aperture Priority; ISO 200; 1/160 sec @ f / 8.

Moon-Dominick House (Old Tin House) Architecturally, the Moon-Dominick House is unique in Newberry County as an example of a typical upcountry frame house accented by an admirable local attempt to follow the Federal vogue in interior and exterior ornamentation. Known locally as the “Tin House” because it reputedly had the first metal roof in Newberry County, the two-and-one-half story farmhouse was probably built ca. 1820 as a residence for Dr. Peter Moon and his wife Susan Satterwhite Moon, both members of locally prominent families. Dr. Moon was a successful planter as well as a physician, and was a leader in civic, political, and religious affairs. The house is a representative central-hall farmhouse, or “I-House,” with distinctive Federal style architectural features. The house is of heavy-timber braced-frame construction with a high brick basement and a gable roof. A distinctive modillion block cornice lines the eaves. A one-story porch originally sheltered the doorway. This porch was removed ca. 1900 when a two-story wing was added to the front of the house. This wing was removed in 1980, amidst other significant changes. Perhaps the most outstanding Federally inspired elements in the house are the molded plaster cornices and ceiling medallions, the delicate Federal mantels, marbleized woodwork mantel surrounds, polychromatic six-paneled door, vaulted plaster ceilings, and a plaster eagle flanking an urn in relief. Listed in the National Register March 22, 1982.
