HFF! In my wanderings through Columbus, I found this unusual sculpture of a deer looking over the Scioto River from a bridge. Just had to photograph it. And now I know more about it! ( www.columbusnavigator.com/scioto-deer/ ) We're leaving tomorrow to visit family in California - first trip out that way in two years. Excited to be able to travel again, and especially to see family! Hopefully when we're back we'll have more photos to share here.
Back from our California trip - had a great time. Photos taken there will be posted soon. For now, I’ll continue with photos from our weekend trip to Ohio. We didn't eat at Schmidt's Sausage Haus, but it sure looks like a great place for a meal! HWW!
The Columbus Monument (Catalan: Monument a Colom, Spanish: Monumento a Colón or Mirador de Colón) is a 60 m (197 ft) tall monument to Christopher Columbus at the lower end of La Rambla.
It was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) in honor of Columbus' first voyage to the Americas. The monument serves as a reminder that Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand V in Barcelona after his first trip to the new continent.
Captain Alonso Pinzon was the owner of the ship Pinta, the fastest of the three ships (Santa Maria and Niña) with which Christopher Columbus set out on the voyage to - as he believed - East Asia and Columbus' favorite ship. American land was sighted for the first time from aboard the Pinta on October 12, 1492, probably the island of Guanahani on the northeastern edge of the Bahamas. Why landed Pinzon in Baiona, Galicia? He wanted to be the first to tell the Spanish king, that he and not Columbus found the way to >India<. In Baiona you can see a replica of the ship >Pinta<.
Architectural detail of San Francisco’s landmark Columbus Tower, built in 1907 and now home to Francis Ford Coppola’s American Zoetrope studio.
One of the famous intersections in San Francisco and a great place to do a little people watching. Not coincidentally, I found some people to watch, and a few buildings as well.

Here's the holiday streetscapes in Columbus, Nebraska. It was mist all day, and continued into night. So, I decided to grab the opportunity to snapshot with that kind of the weather I have been waiting for.

The lines are a zip line that starts in Georgia then across the river to Alabama.
Believed the map used by Christopher Columbus for his voyage.
Source: The Columbus Chapel and Boal Mansion Museum in Pennsylvania, a Boal family home for over 200 years (for eight generations).
The second generation, George Boal, who lobbied Harrisburg to put the state farmer’s school, nearby, which is now the Penn State University.
The fourth generation, Colonel Theodore Davis Boal, went to Europe in the 1890's to study architecture, and married a French, Mathilde de Lagarde, who was related to Christopher Columbus. When Mathilde’s aunt died, Mathilde inherited the Columbus Chapel in Asturias, Spain. Boal built an exact replica of the chapel at home and had boxed up the chapel's contents in Spain and shipped to Boalsburg, Pennsylvania in 1909.
The map and ship in the next photo are displayed at the separate house with other Columbus related items. Probably the largest collection related to Columbus in U.S.

On a recent trip to Syracuse, New York I stopped at this landmark bakery. Having grown up 25 miles away I was raised on this bread. Columbus has been making Italian bread in Syracuse since 1895 and it is my all-time favorite. Walking in the front door is a step back in time. You are not walking into a shiny retail area with the typical glass counters holding baked goods. Once you close the door behind you, you find yourself standing in the bakery itself. Here they make 3 shapes of Italian bread and that is all they do. Loaves of bread are stacked up at the small four-foot counter next to the door and one of the many bakers will come over while wiping the flour from his hands to ring you up. Best bread ever!
Truly amazing survivor that used to be commonplace
(I feel like there was one in Charleston WV when I was a kid? I know I saw one when I was a kid.)

The tropical colors and shafts of light are strong so these fish are swimming shallow. At least, that's the take of this old scuba diver.
