Je suis à la pointe de la technologie des transports : je passe partout même là où des voitures ne le pourraient pas ! Je peux marcher 50km quotidiennement pendant 10 jours sans rien consommer, tout en portant de lourdes charges ! Je cours très vite et l’on me surnomme le vaisseau du désert, le fidèle compagnon des cultures nomades. Attention toutefois à ne pas me confondre avec le chameau qui lui a une deuxième bosse !

Silas Wright, Jr. (May 24, 1795 – August 27, 1847) was an American Democratic politician. Wright was born in Amherst, Massachusetts and moved with his father to Weybridge, Vermont in 1796. He graduated from Middlebury College in 1815 and moved to Sandy Hill, New York, the next year, where he studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1819. Wright commenced practice in Canton, New York. He served as surrogate of St. Lawrence County 1821-1824 and then as a member of the New York State senate from 1824 to 1827. Wright was appointed brigadier general of the state militia in 1827.
In 1826, he was elected to the Twentieth Congress and served from March 4, 1827, to February 16, 1829, when he resigned. He successfully contested the election of George Fisher to the Twenty-first Congress, but declined to qualify. Wright served as Comptroller of the State of New York from 1829 to 1833, in which post he became a prominent follower of Martin Van Buren and a member of the Albany Regency that ran the state for the Democratic Party in this period. Wright was elected to the United States Senate in 1833 as a Democrat to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of William L. Marcy. He was reelected in 1837 and served from January 4, 1833, to November 26, 1844. In the Senate, he served as Chairman of the Finance Committee from 1836 to 1841.
Wright was offered the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 1844, as a sop to followers of Van Buren, who had been disappointed in his hopes for renomination, but declined instead running for the position of Governor of New York. He served as Governor from 1845 to 1846, and was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection, being defeated by the Whig candidate John Young.
Wright died soon after, aged 52, in Canton, on August 27, 1847 and is interred in Old Canton Cemetery.

Can't wait for the bad boy to return this weekend!
On the southern side of the St Helens Conservation Area is an extensive area of tall sand dunes. Four Wheel driving is allowed in one area but from what I could see they do manage to get to the area near the entrance to Beer Barrel Beach (which is allowed) plus other areas. The dunes are soft and tall with some of the sand covered in grass and other successional vegetation further to this shot. There is a fairly steep drop off to the native bush behind the photo.
The sand dunes are home to some endangered Plovers who nest closer to the beach.
I was only able to go part of the way along the various tracks as I didn't have a 4WD vehicle and was on my own without phone coverage. parks.tas.gov.au/things-to-do/four-wheel-driving-(4wd)/peron-dunes

The last piece of Space Launch System (SLS) rocket hardware has been added to the stack at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Crews with NASA's Exploration Ground Systems and contractor Jacobs added the Orion stage adapter to the top of the rocket inside the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building. To complete the Artemis I stack, crews will soon add the Orion spacecraft and its launch abort system on top of Orion stage adapter.
The Orion stage adapter, built at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama connects Orion to the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS), which was built by Boeing and United Launch Alliance at ULA’s factory in Decatur, Alabama. During the mission, the ICPS will fire one RL10 engine in a maneuver called trans-lunar injection, or TLI, to send Orion speeding toward the Moon.

From a brief editorial portrait session with Ohio's Gov-elect Ted Strickland. Although I spent no more than five minutes with camera in hand shooting portraits, this photo took almost an hour to arrange at his inaugural headquarters.
Technical details: D200, two SB800s fired with Pocket Wizards, a small nearly bare bulb optical slave in his hands. Much gnashing of teeth trying to balance desired depth of field, exposures and hands placement.

Nps.gov: Drive approximately 30 miles across the park on the North Cascades Highway (State Route 20), and experience the old growth forests, cascading waterfalls, and mountain scenery of North Cascades. Allow at least an hour to drive this beautiful, winding road, and add more time for stops along the way. Before arriving, check road conditions for seasonal closures. For road updates and pass history, visit Washington State Department of Transportation.
Nationalparks.org: Leave city life behind during your visit to North Cascades National Park, a vast wilderness of conifer-clad mountains, glaciers, and lakes.
Stateofwatourism.com: With jagged peaks, panoramic views, and alpine lakes, North Cascades National Park is often referred to as the American Alps.
Tucked away in the state’s northwest corner, the park includes more than 300 glaciers and a seemingly endless inventory of waterfalls from which the Cascade Range gets its name.

An active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.A., spawning five major rivers. Subalpine wildflower meadows ring the icy volcano while ancient forest cloaks Mount Rainier’s lower slopes. Wildlife abounds in the park’s ecosystems. A lifetime of discovery awaits.
