This was such a fun image to create. It is a multiple exposure on a rather boring wind turbine. It looked like giant Dandelions in a field to me when it was all done. This image was inspired by Deb Sandidge.
Hi,
I love the variety of the craft and I like to try it all. I was looking through some of my Photoshop books looking maybe for an idea when I came across an image somewhat similar to this. Certainly different than my normal work. Of course I had to try my own rendition (smile) so here it is. I believe the original was done by a lady named Deborah Sandidge. Hope she would be glad with my changes. (smile)
Hope you like it,
Thanks for stopping by,
Jim

Sandidges is a small rural community in mountainous western Amherst County, Virginia. There are perhaps 8 structures stretched out over a mile. These are 3 of them—the closest is an old store, the farthest is an old hooded mill, dating from the late 19th century. Somewhere in the vicinity my grandmother was born in 1872.

This was the last image I took while out with with Jim Nix last Monday night….though boy that feels like a long time ago.
After meeting at the Eye and moving on to the usual spot opposite the Houses of Parliament for sunset I opted to cross over the bridge for a little light trail action as the hour turned blue.
Normally the light trail shots are done from the opposite side of the road, but as I hadn’t really ‘done’ this scene since getting the 14mm I decided to stay on the left side of the bridge and see what I could get into the ultrawide frame…it seemed natural that the bridge should be used to create a leading line straight through the image.
It took a couple of attempts to get a bus coming by at the correct speed to offer up the most interesting light trail (I’m still waiting for that day when a couple of fire engines come whizzing by), but I’m happy with the results.
After packing up and heading crossing the road to search for food, Jim spotted Deb Sandidge also taking shots on the bridge (and probably cursing those two guys opposite who are standing around in the shot) – so if we end up in your final images Deb, I’m sorry.
I delayed in posting this last week as every time I look at it I’m convinced that the bridge is not central…but then when I check it out in Lightroom, it is. I’m either comparing two different edits, or the lack of features over the water in comparison to those on the bridge, as well as depth difference between river and pavement, are playing tricks with my mind.

A small creek, Thrashers Creek, flows out of Thrashers Lake through pastureland at Sandidges, Amherst County, Virginia and eventually joins the Buffalo River. This was a refreshing sight on a warm day in early June.

Another of the Chicago Theater during our walk with Deb Sandidge. This one was just as we were about to leave and I saw the purple in the sky. Honestly, this was done in no more than 3 minutes from moving tripod to complete picture - all with Live Composite on the #Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II. Olympus... great at making cameras, bad at naming them.
“When adventurous World War II bomber pilot Pete Sandidge (Spencer Tracy) dies in an aerial attack after ordering the crew to safety, he meets “the General,” a legendary dead pilot who assigns Pete to return to earth as a guardian angel for a new pilot named Ted Randall (Van Johnson). But when Pete learns that Ted is dating Pete’s former girlfriend, Dorinda Durston (Irene Dunne), he must set aside his jealousy and prepare Ted for a dangerous bombing mission.” – Google

This mill is located in Amherst Virginia, its history is a bit unknown from sources on the internet. The mill today is used as a game checking station. I would venture to guess this mill was established in the late 1800's
This mill was still operational in 1946 when milling equipment was brought to it from Sandidge's Mill also located in Amherst.

Belgian Collectors Card by Kwatta, Bois d'Haine, no. C. 158. Photo: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Publicity still for A Guy Names Joe (Victor Fleming, 1943). Collection: Geoffrey Donaldson Institute.
In A Guy Named Joe (1943), Spencer Tracy plays Maj. Pete Sandidge, a reckless pilot of a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber flying out of England during World War II. He has a beautiful girlfriend Dorinda Durston (Irene Dunne), herself a qualified pilot who ferries aircraft to different bases. When Pete is killed however, he finds himself in heaven and learns that every pilot has a guardian angel. He returns to Earth where, unseen by anyone, he coaches a pilot-in-training Ted Randall (Van Johnson). Pete guides Ted through battle, but when Ted is shipped to New Guinea he runs into Dorinda who has remained faithful to her lost love. As Ted pursues her, Pete will have to decide what he wants to do about it.
A Guy Named Joe introduced Van Johnson in his first major role. When the filming was partially completed in 1943, Johnson was in a serious automobile accident. The crash lacerated his forehead and damaged his skull so severely doctors inserted a plate in his head. MGM wanted to replace Johnson, but Tracy convinced the studio to suspend filming until Johnson could return to work, which he did after four months of recovery. He then went on to become a major star. Because the movie was filmed before and after the accident, Johnson can be seen without and with the forehead scars he bore from then on. There was no way to composite Spencer Tracy's image into the scenes where Van Johnson is flying, so he actually had to be standing behind Johnson and, later, Irene Dunne for the filming of these scenes.
Bruce Eder at AllMovie: "It's doubly amazing that the movie holds up as well as it does, given that it required extensive retakes and a reshooting of the ending -- as originally scripted and shot, Dorinda dies on the bombing mission and joins Pete in heaven, but the Motion Picture Production Code office objected to this, interpreting the ending as a suicide, which was forbidden; so a new ending had to be written and shot. It all still held together, an amazingly poignant yet comforting fantasy-drama with some good moments of comedy and some exciting and extremely well-staged flying and combat sequences. The result is an engrossing, feel-good romance with enough action overtones to keep even the manliest of viewers entertained. Incidentally, the title of the movie is explained in the opening minutes of the movie as a reference to the slang of the period -- to quote one of the English children who idolizes Pete Sandidge, "In the American air forces, any man who's a 'right' chap is a guy named Joe.""

"Among Us" is a new project I have started featuring friends and friends-to-be assuming the role of...well...you know.
The (literal and figurative) weight of the wings and the very public environments seem to lead to some very interesting results.

Cattle at Thrasher's Creek where it crosses Sandidges Road, at Sandidges in Amherst County, Virginia. This group was the most vocal group of cows I've ever heard, not content with merely staring but adding their raucous bellows.

The 1860 census reported fewer than 200 residents in Stephens County. That year, Joe Schoolcraft settled on Caddo Creek, 15 miles south of a Caddo Indian village. He built his home on the north bank of Caddo Creek at Elm Creek. The town grew during the next decade, and in 1876, local ranchers began recording their brands at the courthouse. Early settlers included Jere Hart, C.J. Johnson, A.W. Corbett, Tom Thompson, W.B. Richardson, William Copeland, John Robinson and Josephus Knott, as well as the Graceys, Swensons, McMeens, Lees and Winstons. Perry K. Taylor opened a store in 1875. Shortly thereafter, R.Q. Lee and the Butlers opened "the Big Red Store," which became Sandidge, Lee & Co. in 1906. The Caddo post office opened in 1877. In 1883, the town hired Dora Mandy as the first schoolteacher. A two-story structure was built in 1890 and was used for school, church and Masonic lodge meetings; it burned in 1910, and residents then built a red brick and rock schoolhouse on Caddo Creek. The first physician came in 1886, and the town's early doctors included a woman named Dr. Evans. Local churches organized in the 1890s; the Baptist congregation built its sanctuary in 1894. Early settler Tom Lay hauled water to local residents, who also had access to telephone service in 1898. Cattle, horses, sheep and cotton were the mainstay of the town until 1916, when the first oil well came in. In 1919, Caddo led the state in oil production. The boom, which attracted thousands of new residents and numerous businesses, lasted until the early 1920s. By World War II, the population had declined. The last class of maroon and white Caddo Cougars graduated in 1945; the town consolidated its school with Breckenridge. Highway construction bypassed the town in the 1950s, and Caddo's population continued to decrease. Fewer than 50 people lived in the town in 2000, most relying on agriculture and oil. (2002)

Sandidges School is located in Sandidges, Amherst County, Virginia. It was once known as Buffalo View School and built in 1939, or circa 1930, or circa 1900--depending on online sources. In the National Register nomination form for Emmanuel Church, the (1930s) structure is discussed as a non-contributing building. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places April 27, 2018 #100002391. The circa 1900 date is in the 2010 Amherst County Historical Survey

The school was for the white children in the area. The school for black students was located west of Sandidges. When school consolidation occurred in the 1950s, the community school closed. For some time it served as a dwelling and then was turned into a thrift shop for Emmanuel Baptist Church, directly across the road.
The frame structure has horizontal board siding. The roof of standing-seam metal has a gable section with a pyramidal hipped section on each end. Two chimneys, one of brick and the other concrete, are in the center gable portion of the roof. The main entrance is deep-set, forming a small porch area. It has a single-leaf wood door with a pedimented door surround in Colonial Revival style with 3-pane sidelights to each side. The windows on the front facade are dead sashes of 6 panes.

In 1890, the forerunner of Florence School in the Tarrant County Common School District No. 34 was called "Green Glade". In 1903 Thomas Richard Sandidge, a school trustee, and his wife Nannie provided one acre at this site for school purposes. The nearby Green Glade site was sold, and the Florence Schoolhouse, a one-room frame building, was erected here among a grove of post oak trees.
The new institution provided grades one through eight and had an average enrollment of 30. The term ran from October, after cotton harvest, to May, the beginning of cotton chopping time. The building served as a community center where singings were held.
By 1914, with declining enrollment and the need for high school curriculum, the district was abolished and Florence School students attended Bedford, Pleasant Run, and Smithfield Schools. Sandidge reclaimed the land which had been set aside for school purposes, and the property was sold several times through the years. In 1966 the Tarrant County Junior College District bought the land as part of its Northeast Campus which opened in September 1968. Among the enrollment were descendants of students who attended the old Florence School. (1979) (Marker No. 1920)
