can you give us a brief introduction?

No problem.

When the town im living in was first created(not to sure when). It was one of the first english settlements in New York State. This building shown in the photograph wasn't built until after the settlement. If i'm not mistaken, a very wealthy family lived in the house. Ofcourse the house has been fixed up quite a bit since it was built. To the right of where I am taking the photograph there are several punishing contractions that were used for tourchering town drunks and law breakers. Contraptions include the whipping post.

Very clear weather. Ideal for well-contrasted black&white photography. Good one. A pity that we're only getting to see it this small...
