A bad roll of film

[joebanks]

Looks like my camera battery had gone bad in both cameras. Most of the shots i took are un-viewable. That's, to say the least, disappointing!

I did do some look ups and found a great short article on the Newark Earthworks, along with a 360' panoramic shot inside the Earthworks - note the moonrise.http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/hopewell/

Also a couple postcards i bought, showing the Earthworks over head. The snow covered bottom, shot is where 'harry and i were. The upper card shows the earthworks that have the golf course in it.


The panoramic shot was taken in the top cards location.

Newark is also a county seat and the courthouse pictures i took didn't come out either. I had a conversation with an old man sitting on a bench by the courthouse. "Why does everyone come and take pictures of this place?"

"Because it's beautiful, look at the detail along the roof."

We went back and forth for awhile, along this line. Sure enough, when 'harry and i drove off, we saw another couple taking pictures of the courthouse.

Interesting pictures - reminds me a little of crop circles though :-)

Whoa! This is more Ohio prehistory, right?

I need to ask for advice on camera batteries. I'm thinking of doing a whole entry on it.

The mounds around 4 to 15 ft high.

Yes.

Is that a joke about the camera batteries?

I found this fascinating, thanks for sharing. I had never thought about early civilisation in North America before.

Boo on the camera batteries! Murphy's Law how both went at once :(

Thanks, it was very interesting to be there, and to know that this has been a short drive, a couple hours away. all my life.

Murphy, strikes again.

A joke? Not on your life. I love the whole digital photography thing, but the battery issue makes me long for my Instamatic.

Sorry your photos didn't come out, I know how frustrating that can be.

Theses panoramic views are awesome thanks for posting them.
