Bella, the lonely cow - Bella, a vaca solitária

Driving along this Sunday through the local countryside, we saw a group of cows peacefully grazing. About 200 feet away there stood this one. Lookig depressed, rejected. Fatima thought maybe she was an outcast from the group. Maybe she thought she was ugly. Then Fatima decided to call her Bella. I hope she rejoins the group.

……………………………………………………………………....................................................

Passeando este Domingo pelos campos agrícolas locais vimos um grupo de vacas a pastar plácidamente num prado. A certa distância lá estava esta. Com aspecto triste e deprimido. Fátima pensou que ela tinha sido rejeitada pelo grupo. Talvez ela se sentia feia. Então a Fátima decidiu dar-lhe o nome de Bella. Esperamos que ela se volte a juntar ao grupo.

Heart Island - The Power House

Watercolor/Aguarela, 35x28 cm, Arches paper

This building was simply a power house to the Boldt Castle in Heart Island in the Thousand Islands region – the source of the St. Lawrence River. It housed the electrical generators to supply power to the castle.

George Boldt, one of the founders of the New York Waldorf Astoria Hotel built the complex as a gift to his beloved wife. She then died of a sudden ilness. Devastated, and with the castle about 95% completed, he cancelled further construction and it remained abandoned for decades. Today it is one of the main atractions in the area.

 ...................................................

Esta estrutura continha os geradores eléctricos para o Castelo Boldt na região de Thousand Islands entre os EUA e Canadá – a fonte do rio São Lourenço.

O complexo foi mandado construir por George Boldt um dos fundadores do prestigioso hotel Waldorf Astoria em New York. Era um presente para a sua amada esposa. Ela então morreu de doença súbita. Devastado, e com o castelo cerca de 95% completo, ele mandou parar as obras e o castelo esteve ao abandono por varias décadas. É hoje uma das grandes atrações da região.
