The bi-plane kicked up a cloud of dust when it landed on a barren patch of land a half mile away.  She walked out across the cotton fields, and never looked back.   </p> <p>~by Aimee Stewart~</p> <p>Avalon Blues: <a href="http://youtu.be/klcDgu2f_pQ"><a href="http://youtu.be/klcDgu2f_pQ">http://youtu.be/klcDgu2f_pQ</a></a><br/>Photo from the Library of Congress</p> </blockquote>http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50650893336http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50650893336Fri, 17 May 2013 09:38:52 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9aaeea6a02048b5fc05281a9906b6e4c/tumblr_mmumu1XTNx1rub0hvo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://marabc.tumblr.com/post/50569407512/unica-mirada">marabc</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Única mirada…</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>This is the nicest picture of <span class="st"><em>Kız Kulesi </em>(Maiden’s Tower, Istanbul) I’ve seen.<em><br/></em></span></p>http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50650886431http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50650886431Fri, 17 May 2013 09:38:42 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/548c58eb94da2b1afcc63acb7944e67f/tumblr_mmwrkvxwiw1r1nydzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://myfotolog.tumblr.com/post/50597543616/c-sarah-kaye-photography">myfotolog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>©sarah kaye photography</em></p> </blockquote>http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50638988528http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50638988528Fri, 17 May 2013 03:06:17 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2d6d0da91d737730b7429bfdc029a7c4/tumblr_mjv2unZZn91rrfowao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The simple pleasures of the weekend…</p>http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50638983333http://dammar.tumblr.com/post/50638983333Fri, 17 May 2013 03:06:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/922b43914db6ffb5e6ea37d127839450/tumblr_mmuvk8EO0E1qdh7g0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://illustratosphere.tumblr.com/post/50592070653/targete">illustratosphere</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>The Nightmare Academy </em><span>by </span><a href="http://www.targeteart.com/default1.htm">J.
