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.
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<.
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 Casa de Colón (Columbus House) is an architectural complex located in the center of the old Vegueta neighborhood in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It is believed that the renowned navigator stayed there while fixing one of his caravels during his first voyage to the New World in 1492. The project incorporates a number of the houses which currently take up the entire block and includes a library, a museum, and a dedicated study center inside.
The Columbus House was established to study, research and disseminate the history of the Canary Islands and their relationship with the Americas. The museum is divided into five thematic areas. The first contains various information panels showing the settlement of the New World, and the cultures and peoples of Pre-Columbian America. The section entitled "Columbus and his Voyages" recreates the explorer's expeditions, while an exhibit in another room examines Columbus’ time in the Canary Islands. The Columbus House also has a collection of paintings from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

MRL R-LAUBOZ passes the nearly century-and-a-half old wooden depot in Columbus, Montana with only six cars for Bozeman. It is highly likely that this depot dates back to when the Northern Pacific built westward across the Yellowstone River in the 1880s.
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!

Here is a view of downtown Columbus from the Main Street Bridge. We were very lucky to have minimal wind early this morning, and the still water made for almost perfect reflections.

The fountain, which was co-created by Taft and architect Daniel Burnham, was influenced by a fountain designed by Frederick MacMonnies that was displayed at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. This work depicted a figure of Columbia sitting on a ship with a figure of Fame standing on a ship prow holding a trumpet and a representational figure of Time dominating the stern.
