“Iron Gate”
Along the coast of Lahinch, Ireland there is a multigenerational family horse farm that is home to some of the nicest hard working people I have ever known. This iron gate had stood watch over the ocean and property for many years. #ireland #horsefarm #irongate #threshold #passage #lahinch #countyclare #returnifpossible Footfalls . . .
“Oh, roamer from lands where the vanished years go… Come out of your silence and tell me if Life is so fair in that world as they say? Do these sorrows die out with our breath?” ~Kendall Did I hear a low echo of footfalls in this abandoned cottage nestled in hills of Kilfenora, Ireland? In the shadow I stood for a moment and imagined the soul that once lived here and where he is now. Kitchen art is hot off the stove! Grab yours now for that special holiday gift! “Wanderess”

Even a tiny fleck of it stops time." ~Ackerman Photographing Eugenia from Festival Ballet at The Graduate Hotel was both a wonder and a delight. Lincoln Park used to be known as "Midway Park" or "Westport Park" until a new name was chosen in a lottery.
The Union Street Railway Company created Lincoln Park in 1894 as a way to connect Fall River to New Bedford. 46 acres of land in Dartmouth was purchased and the park began. The park originally had picnic tables, a playground, and several grill stoves for cookouts. This continued into the 1920s, which was when Lincoln Park became more of an amusement park. In 1941, the facility was purchased by John Collins & Associates for $40,000 ($500,000 inflation adjusted). They invested $150,000 installing a fourteen lane bowling alley and updating an existing dance hall, and added a full complement of amusement park rides. A part of the Comet roller coaster.The park was successful until the mid-1980s, when larger theme parks started to become more popular. A fatal accident on the park's 1946 "Comet" wooden roller coaster in 1986 caused people to question the safety of the park. Facing declining attendance, Jay Hoffman, the park's owner, invested $75,000 in updating the park. This plan included moving the park's 1921 carousel to Battleship Cove in Fall River, and dismantling a smaller "kiddy" version of the "Comet" roller coaster. In a May 1987 story from The Providence Journal, he is quoted as saying that the park had been fully inspected and was safe.

Although no one was injured, this was the final ride of the coaster. The park closed December 3, 1987, owing $48,000 in taxes and $13,000 in unpaid police details. Almost all of the rides were dismantled and auctioned off. The park's Ferris wheel was moved to the New Bedford waterfront. The jack-knifed car remained stuck on the roller coaster track well into the 1990s, until vandals tore it off. “There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”
