The hilltop on Bear Paw Battlefield in northern Montana where Chief Looking Glass was killed at the conclusion of the Nez Perce War of 1877.
The tribe's grueling 1,200-mile running fight through Idaho, Wyoming and Montana ended on these hills, only 40 miles from their goal: political sanctuary across the Canadian border and safety from the U.S. Armies that had been battling them for four months.
The tribe was led by a shifting coalition of five chiefs. Chief Joseph is the best-known leader, but he was largely a politician, while Looking Glass was the senior warrior chief.
Looking Glass had done everything he could to avoid becoming embroiled in the war. “I fight when I cannot avoid it, but not otherwise”. At the war’s start, Looking Glass had been appalled by the massacre of about 20 settlers by a handful of young warriors, who were outraged by the broken treaties and the unpunished murder of their father by a settler.
But General O.O. Howard, influenced by false rumors that Looking Glass was about to join the conflict, ordered the chief and his band arrested. An undisciplined volunteer civilian fired a shot, and the soldiers attacked and destroyed Looking Glass' village, which had been flying a white flag. The chief felt he had no choice but to join the fighting bands.
Looking Glass convinced the other bands to flee from Idaho to join his friends the Crows in Montana, believing that the Nez Perce would be leaving their troubles behind them in Idaho.
Travelling through western Montana, Looking Glass ordered warriors to not harm or steal from Whites. When a few rogue warriors ransacked a ranch, an enraged Looking Glass forced the warriors to give their horses to the rancher as compensation.
Looking Glass temporarily lost his influence after the bands were surprised and attacked at the Big Hole Battle in western Montana by a second U.S. army that had been, unknown to the Nez Perce, pursuing the caravan. During the battle, Looking Glass yelled at the young warriors who had massacred settlers at the beginning of the war, “This is battle! These men are not asleep as were those you murdered in Idaho! Now is the time to show your courage and fight!”
At Big Hole, many of the best Nez Perce warriors were killed and many women, children and elders were slaughtered by soldiers. Almost every Nez Perce family lost a relative in the battle and the caravan’s escape route was lined with graves.
At the Battle of Canyon Creek in central Montana, the Nez Perce defeated yet another pursuing army, but the Nez Perce were shocked to see Crow warriors fighting alongside the U.S. soldiers, so the caravan trudged north to seek sanctuary in Canada with Sitting Bull and The Sioux.
As the Nez Perce made haste through northern Montana and neared Canada, so close finally to freedom, Looking Glass balked at the grueling routine of the marches endured by the remaining women, children and elders. He took back command and set a more leisurely pace, unaware that yet another army, this one under the talented and ambitious Colonel Nelson Miles, was force marching 300 miles to intercept them.
Miles surprised the Nez Perce in these hills with a fierce cavalry charge, which the tribes repulsed. The 520 Soldiers succeeded in surrounding the 200 warriors who fought from rifle pits on these hilltops while 500 women, children and elders suffered in the wintery October weather in a ravine about 100 yards to the right of this photo, where they also endured artillery shelling.
At the beginning of the following five day siege, Looking Glass had sent a messenger through the siege lines to Sitting Bull across the Canadian border asking him for help breaking the siege and to lead the Nez Perce to Sitting Bull's camp in Canada. While Looking Glass fought prone in a rifle pit on this hill, a warrior shouted that a rider approached from the North. Looking Glass, thinking the rider was a messenger from Sitting Bull, stood up to look and was instantly killed by a sniper bullet to the head.
No help arrived and after five days the Nez Perce surrendered to Miles.
This composite is made with the only known photo of Chief Looking Glass.

Entre rachaduras e o tempo, o concreto revela uma beleza silenciosa — o diálogo entre o que resiste e o que se desfaz.
A matéria se torna memória, e o olhar transforma o desgaste em arte.

Between cracks and time, concrete reveals a silent beauty — the dialogue between what endures and what fades away.
Matter becomes memory, and the gaze turns decay into art.
In this morning a mystic haze was in the air and some fine light strived over the hills around the town. This was an easy morning-coffee shot, right out of the window. It is fascinating how perception changes with time, weather and light. I never noticed this tree before!

"Write me of hope and love, and hearts that endured."
(Emily Dickinson)
(Things I see as I look deeper: The red scattered about the image signifies hearts that have suffered and bled. The brighter, glowing blossoms signify the ones that have endured and that now shine for others as an encouragement to also endure. There is still darkness around the edges, but the light has not been extinguished. The light in the top corner is beckoning the blossoming hearts to hang onto their Hope)
....to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house.
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

Higger Tor • Peak District National Park • 16th January 2022
The best of the weather managed to escape me this week, so here’s a moody morning shot from Higger Tor.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - On this night I found myself in the Arctic wilderness of Abisko National Park in Swedish Lapland. After trekking for 9.5 miles I arrived in this stunning valley in the Scandinavian Mountains. The northern lights came out right away when night fell. But I had to wait for them to become more active and spread to the eastern sky over the 5,000' high peak named Kieron. That happened after 11:00, when bright auroral curtains shimmered across the sky, lighting up the snow and turning it green. The temperature hovered at -10°F and a stiff wind was blowing across the frozen Abiskojaure lake. But this captivating view was worth every step to get here and every moment of cold endured.

I'm so happy it was sunny today! As soon as I got home I gave my camera battery under ten minutes to charge up then I rushed out with Maggie to this spot.
I was originally planning to make this a clone photo with lots of maggies everywhere but I feel it went better this way.
It barely had any photoshop except for retouches and a light lens flare.
I've been interviewed on Elision!
I took a short walk to take the wild roses on a dull evening in Toronto .
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your week.

As I took this shot, I imagined that the scene was unchanged from a hundred or even a thousand years ago...
Squeeze and collide
I endure the journey in time
Finally I see fire
I run toward it
But the light fades
Faster than my reach
I slide deeper to the dark
Built during the 1940's.

'They may lack the charm of Victorian architecture, but there's something about them that endures and endears.'
by Thomas Wicks
As you wander around the Monument Valley, you come across some of the best desertscapes that you would want to view one after the other. If catching a glimpse of the three mittens weren't enough, you also have a variety of buttes to whet your appetite even more. These are the famed Totem Poles. There are other photo ops around this place which you can attempt only with guides.The contrast of the rocks and the sky shout out more so in the mornings and evenings than at any other time of the day.
As cold engulfs most of the Northern Hemisphere and makes us yearn for the glorious summer days, something I only experienced for a few years now, I wanted to re-live some of the best summer days that I had spent. My trip to Arizona back in June 2009 was one of the most difficult ones that I had done alone. There were a lota challenges wrt. food and esp accommodation but I simply endured them all. On the night before I left for Monument Valley from the North Rim of Grand Canyon, I simply had to sleep in my car.
Looking back, I don't think I will be half as daring as I used to be a few years ago...
This is a mere use of the Polarizer without which the deep blue skies might not have been possible.
Thanks for viewing and have a nice week ahead everyone!

Canterbury National Earthquake Memorial
Christchurch has endured numerous earthquakes due to earth movements on the Great Alpine fault line(s). The most destructive occurred in 2011 when 185 people died; their names are engraved on this monument. I've tried to create a diptych from two different images of the memorial wall; I'm not sure which works best.

If you’re not from round ‘ere, then maybe it’s cream teas, ice creams on the beach, the wilds of Dartmoor, or scrumpy cider in every barn. In reality the west country is a working environment.
Here in the West Country we have the answers
If you’re planning to keep livestock and cultivate crops, you’ll want land that is dry for most of the year around (well as much as that is possible in our temperate climate!).
Being so close to the sea, the South West has the highest average temperature of any other area located near the sea. As a result, the chances of snow during winter months are very low, which is great news if you plan to keep livestock outside for most of the year around.
The West Country’s warm summers also mean crops can be harvested as late as October, while the ground is still dry.

The biting mountain wind was a familiar companion, whispering tales through the ancient crags as I held my watch in the French Pyrenees. Hours bled into one another, a silent vigil among the formidable peaks where stone giants stood guard over forgotten valleys. My eyes, weary from sweeping the desolate expanse, yearned for movement, for a sign of life in the austere landscape.
Then, without a sound, a flicker of awareness shifted within the shadowed cleft of rock just ahead. A pair of keen, ancient eyes met mine, not with alarm, but with a profound, untamed curiosity. Slowly, deliberately, the majestic head emerged, adorned with magnificent, scimitar-like horns that spoke of countless seasons endured. It was an Ibex, a true sentinel of these soaring heights, a spirit of the mountains made flesh.
For a breath-holding moment, we were suspended in time – two beings observing each other across an invisible boundary of wildness and quiet respect. The world seemed to pause, and in that fleeting connection, the vast, silent beauty of the Pyrenees found its voice. This was not just a sighting; it was an affirmation of the wild, a secret shared between the stone and the soul. A memory etched as sharply as the mountain peaks themselves.
Fear isn't a weakness, it's an advantage. It's what keeps you scrapping for rotten food; It's what keeps you fighting through the sickness; It's what keeps you very much alive.

This is a very famous and much photographed building on Great Eastern Street in London's graffiti capital, Shoreditch. The four windows are actually screens that house changing art exhibitions. In this case there are ribbons and butterflies which can be clearly identified if you enlarge those areas.
The Adore and Endure words always remain but even the train carriages have regular changes to their visage - see top left. In essence it's a brilliant open air gallery.

I can't go on living this way
And I can't go back the way I came
Shamed of this fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul
And I will endure till the end of time
Half a life without you
(My heart is broken - Evanescence)
