The view of How Sound from just below the Peak of The Stawamus Chief, Squamish BC.
The Stawamus Chief, officially Stawamus Chief Mountain[1] (often referred to as simply The Chief, or erroneously as the Squamish Chief), is a granite dome located adjacent to the town of Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. It towers over 700 m (2,297 ft) above the waters of nearby Howe Sound. It is often claimed to be the "second largest granite monolith in the world".[2]
The Squamish, indigenous people from this area, consider the Chief to be a place of spiritual significance. The Squamish language name for the mountain is Siám' Smánit (siám' is usually translated as "chief" though it is really a social ranking), and their traditions say it is a longhouse transformed to stone by Xáays, as the Transformer Brothers are known in this language. The great cleft in the mountain's cliff-face in Squamish legend is a mark of corrosion left by the skin of Sínulhka, a giant two-headed sea serpent.[1]
The mountain gets its name from their village near its foot, Stawamus (St'a7mes), as is also the case with the Stawamus River and Stawamus Lake, though the pronunciation of the village name is different than as commonly used in English (/ˈstɑːʔəməs/ is an approximation of the Squamish language, vs /stəˈwɑːmʊs/ as commonly used in English).
I believe this is the same chief muffler man that was located at Ozzie's Water Park in what is now Kildeer when I was growing up. Now he welcomes you to a nursery in Crystal Lake.

22 feet tall statue of Chief Standing Bear in Standing Bear Park near Ponca City, Oklahoma. Standing Bear was a Ponca chief who successfully argued in U.S. District Court in 1879 that Native Americans are "persons within the meaning of the law" and have the right of habeas corpus, thus becoming the first Native American judicially granted civil rights under American law.
Προσπαθούσα να φωτογραφήσω μυρμήγκια...Δύσκολο, όμως είχε πλάκα! Αν και το αποτέλεσμα δεν είναι και το καλύτερο, αυτή η φωτογραφία με έκανε να γελάσω! Αρχηγός μέρμηγκας μόνο στον τίτλο στην πραγματικότητα συμβαίνει το εξής:
"Η βασίλισσα δεν αποφασίζει το ποιος εργάτης κάνει τι. Δεν υπάρχει κάποιο μυρμήγκι αρχηγός που να εποπτεύει ολόκληρη την αποικία και να καθοδηγεί τους εργάτες. Ένα μυρμήγκι μπορεί να αντιληφθεί μόνο τοπικές πληροφορίες για τα μυρμήγκια γύρω του μέσω χημικών και απτικής επικοινωνίας. Κάθε επιμέρους μυρμήγκι επεξεργάζεται αυτήν την πληροφορία προκειμένου να αποφασίσει ποιον από τους διακριτούς λειτουργικούς ρόλους θα πρέπει να παίξει στην αποικία. Αυτή η συνεργατική συμπεριφορά μιας αποικίας μυρμηγκιών που προκύπτει από τις τοπικές αλληλεπιδράσεις μεταξύ των μελών του και όχι από την ύπαρξη ενός κεντρικού ελεγκτή αναφέρεται ως αναδυόμενη συμπεριφορά (emergent behavior)"

Fabord is considered to be a Black Sheep, well, Black Knight in the Rainbow Branch, despite having a strong league compared to others, he tend to ignore other Vanguard warning and tasks. Fabord lead groups of Seguidor and Guard toward the back line, then summoning sharp blades with the Cusped Wrist toward the front to gap-close the line.
During Hinseusn downfall, Tyrant of the Radiant Realm, majority of the Flurion race fled back to there dimensions to avoid future conflict with the Lunar Domain. However, he decided to stick around the prevalent realm with a few followers, hoping for a better outcome.
When the Vivid Apocalypse approached, Fabord was apart of Nukegara infantry, commanding a much stronger army than before. During a tough battle, Fabord unfortunately got his wrist sliced off and the enemy used the Cusped against himself.

The Chief - Antelope Canyon, AZ
Today we celebrate Memorial Day and those people who died while serving our country in the armed services. I thought it would be the perfect time to share this image taken in Lower Antelope Canyon. The rock formation is called The Chief. I wanted to try something different and thought it would be cool to include a formal headdress into the rock formation. For those that may wonder, I did ask one of my Navajo friends if this image might be a problem. I got the A-Okay and so here it is.
Much respect and gratitude to the Navajo Code Talkers of WWII on this Memorial Day.

The word "Rondavel" is a South African word that refers to a round hut-like dwelling (usually with a thatched roof). The three well known gigantic peaks of quartzite and shale with their sheer rock walls tower more than 700m above the surrounding landscape. These peaks are named after the three most troublesome wives of Chief Maripi Mashile - they are (from left to right) Magabolle, Mogoladikwe and Maseroto.
Above the 700 meter 2 300 foot deep gorge behind the Three Rondavels is Maripeskop, at 1 944 meters or 6 378 foot, this is the highest peak in the Mpumalanga (Transvaal) Drakensberg. This peak is named after the Pulana chief Maripe who in the early 19th century fled with his tribe to the mountain, from which he successfully beat off attacks by the Swazis.
Far below the escarpment, at the inflow of the Ohrigstad River, glitters an artificial lake created by the damming of the Blyde River
The Blyde River Canyon, (which is Mother Nature at her best, is a fascinating display of landscapes, wildlife and geology within the canyon), is the third largest canyon worldwide, after the Grand Canyon in America and the Fish River Canyon in Namibia. This canyon is situated along the Panorama Route of Mpumalanga, which includes waterfalls, the Pinnacle, God's Window, Wonderview, Bourkes Luck Potholes and numerous viewpoints of both the canyon and the Lowveld. The Canyon itself has numerous viewpoints, whist the most famous of these being the “Three Rondavels” or sometimes referred to as the “Three Sisters”.

Now descending Raton Pass, the Chief makes good time toward its next station stop at Raton, NM. October 2013.
Chief Mountain sits in Montana but us Albertans enjoy the view all the time.
This view is from the highway traveling to Waterton National Park in Alberta. I took a few angles from this location, with and without fencing and streams in the area but this angle was my favorite.
In the link below - "Chief Mountain has been a sacred mountain to Native American tribes for hundreds of years. The Blackfoot name for the mountain is Nínaiistáko.[6][5] The mountain was seen by white explorers in the late 18th century and was known as "Kings Peak" on maps produced in the United Kingdom in 1795. The name was changed in the late 19th century in reflection of Blackfeet naming of the mountain which was "Great Chief". When Glacier National Park was created in 1910, the summit and most prominent eastern slopes of the mountain were located within the park, leaving only the lower slopes within Blackfeet jurisdiction.[5]
Chief Mountain remains sacred to many First Nations peoples from both the U.S. and Canada. Natives from all over North America travel to the base of the mountain for sweet grass ceremonies, placing of prayer flags and other religious rites. In the early 1900s as white settlers came to the area, they observed native burial sites scattered along the base of the mountain. Elders from Southern Alberta's Siksika Band (where the Great Chief Crowfoot hailed from) and other First Nation groups have an oral tradition that near the end of days, a Great White God would appear from the top of Chief Mountain and upon his departure, the mountain would crumble and be destroyed."
