Red Bud received it charter in 1867 and was incorporated as a city in 1875. The business of the city government has been conducted in this victorian era city hall building since it was built in 1894. The city hall was designed by St. Louis architect Louis Hormann. The exterior of the city hall has remained basically the same. It houses the city offices, police department and council chambers.
Red Bud's City Hall is a significant building within the Red Bud Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. The historic building has had several renovations. In 1997 the outside received a major facelift. Plans were made for an extensive renovation of the first and second floor. In November of 2005 this renovation was completed at a cost of $1,200,000.
The Canadian Pacific Railway, known as CP Rail between 1968 and 1996 and simply Canadian Pacific, is a historic Canadian Class I railway incorporated in 1881. The railway is owned by Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, which began operations as legal owner in a corporate restructuring in 2001
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, it owns approximately 20,100 kilometres (12,500 mi) of track in six provinces of Canada and into the United States, stretching from Montreal to Vancouver, and as far north as Edmonton. Its rail network also serves Minneapolis–St. Paul, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, and Albany, New York in the United States.

Piermont is a village incorporated in 1847 in Rockland County, New York, United States. Piermont is in the town of Orangetown, located north of the hamlet of Palisades, east of Sparkill, and south of Grand View-on-Hudson, on the west bank of the Hudson River. The population was 2,510 at the 2010 census.[4] Woody Allen set The Purple Rose of Cairo, a fictional film within The Purple Rose of Cairo (1984) in Piermont.

More Livingston, Montana Architecture.
On December 21, 1882, Livingston was incorporated and named in honor of Johnston Livingston, pioneer Northern Pacific Railway stockholder, director and friend of Northern Pacific Railroad President Henry Villard. Johnston Livingston was director from 1875 to 1881 and 1884–1887. Crawford Livingston Jr., Johnston's nephew, is more commonly considered the town's namesake. Crawford bought the real estate after the survey and on July 17, 1883, established the First National Bank in the city. Often he spoke of Livingston as "his town," and he apparently enjoyed the publicity of supposedly having a city named for him. But the name Livingston has always stood out in the Northern Pacific official family.[5]
Livingston is along the Yellowstone River where it bends from north to east toward Billings and in proximity to Interstate 90. In July 1806 Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped on the city's present outskirts on the return trip east preparing to descend the Yellowstone River. Clark's party rejoined the Lewis party at the confluence with the Missouri River, near Williston, North Dakota.
Although small, Livingston has a number of popular tourist attractions. The Livingston Depot, built in 1902 after two predecessors, is a restored rail station that houses a railroad museum open from May to September. The Yellowstone Gateway Museum documents regional history from one of the oldest North American archaeological sites to Wild Western and Yellowstone history. The International Fly Fishing Federation's museum is an extensive introduction to a popular game sport and hosts annual enthusiast meetings. The city was inhabited for two decades by Calamity Jane and visited by a number of traveling members of European royalty.
In 1938, Dan Bailey, an eastern fly-fisherman, established Dan Bailey's Fly Shop and mail order fly tying business on Park Street.[6] Also in Livingston is the Fly Fishing Discovery Center, a museum operated by the Federation of Fly Fishers.[7] Actors Peter Fonda and Margot Kidder, Saturday Night Live alumnus Rich Hall, musician Ron Strykert, novelist Walter Kirn, and poet Jim Harrison have lived in the city. Jimmy Buffett mentions Livingston in multiple songs.
Its economy is flat, and like the rest of the state, the unemployment rate is below the national average. Almost 50% of its workforce commutes to Bozeman,[citation needed] as well as the destination resort Chico Hot Springs 25 miles south, and various campsites and ranches in Paradise Valley. Recently the city has invested in attractions and accommodation for tourists visiting during the Lewis and Clark bicentennial years.
Livingston and its immediately adjacent area has 17 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, enumerated within Park County's NRHP listings.

view of Stari Most (Old Bridge) and Old Town from Lučki Most (Bridge)
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva during the Ottoman era. The Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks, and is considered an exemplary piece of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.
The oldest single arch stone bridge in Mostar, the Kriva Cuprija (""Sloping Bridge""), was built in 1558 by the Ottoman architect Cejvan Kethoda. It is said that this was to be a test before the major construction of the Stari Most began. The Old Bridge was completed in 1566 and was hailed as one of the greatest architectural achievement in the Ottoman controlled Balkans. This single-arch stone bridge is an exact replica of the original bridge that stood for over 400 years and that was designed by Hajrudin, a student of the great Ottoman architect Sinan. It spans 28.7 m (94 ft) of the Neretva river, 21 m (69 ft) above the summer water level. The Halebija and Tara towers have always housed the guardians of the bridge and during Ottoman times were also used as storehouses for ammunition. The arch is a perfect semicircle 8.56 m (28.1 ft) in width and 4.15 m (13.6 ft) in height. The frontage and vault are made of regular stone cubes incorporated into the horizontal layers all along the vault. The space between vault, frontal walls and footpath is filled with cracked stone. The bridge footpath and the approaching roads are paved with cobblestones, as is the case with the main roads in the town. Stone steps enable people to ascend to the bridge either side. During the armed conflict between Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats in the Bosnian War in the 1990s, the bridge was destroyed by the HVO (Croatian Defence Council).
Since the end of the wider war in 1995, great progress has been made in the reconstruction of the city of Mostar. Over 15 million dollars has been spent on restoration. A monumental project to rebuild the Old Bridge, which was destroyed during the Bosnian War, to the original design, and restore surrounding structures and historic neighbourhoods was initiated in 1999 and mostly completed by spring 2004. A grand opening was held on 23 July 2004. In July 2005, UNESCO inscribed the Old Bridge and its closest vicinity onto the World Heritage List.
Monticello was founded in 1808 as seat of the newly formed Jasper County. The city was named after Monticello, the estate of Thomas Jefferson. It was incorporated as a town in 1810 and as a city in 1901.

The Phoenix Trolley Museum, incorporated as the Arizona Street Railway Museum, is a railway museum established in 1975, with an emphasis on preserving historical street cars in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The museum's mission is "[to] tell the Phoenix streetcar story."
The museum was located next to the Margaret Hance Deck Park on Interstate 10 in downtown Phoenix until December, 2017.
In 2016, the City of Phoenix declined to renew the museum's lease for another five-year period, and the Hance Park location was closed.
The museum has relocated to a site along Phoenix's historic Grand Avenue, one of the earliest trolley lines in the city. The museum is developing plans to construct a new museum on the site and is raising the funds to do so
You can see here on the rock floor the tessellated pattern that the sculptors incorporated into "Stratose". The most famous example of this in Tasmania is the Tessellated Pavement at Eaglehawk Neck. www.atlasobscura.com/places/eaglehawk-neck-tessellated-pa...
The pattern of lines is so regular that it appears strange it would occur in nature - which in most cases avoids straight lines. But there is a simple geological reason for these patterns. The cobble stone appearance we see here was caused a long time ago when the Great Western Tiers was a massive area of volcanic activity.
Essentially what happened was that the basaltic lava cooled and then fractured along these lines. Unlike the more famous Tessellated Pavement (see the link above) that shows in some cases deep erosion of what is called the sedimentary layer, these fracture lines have been smoothed out over the years by the steady flow of water in the stream.

Church of the former village of Sainte-Geneviève, now incorporated into Montreal. Built in the 1840's to replace a church that had gotten too small, it is the only one on the island of Montreal to have been drawn up by the renowned Quebec City architect Thomas Baillargé.
The interior was designed by the then relatively unknown Victor Bourgeau, who went on to become the leading church architect in Montreal by the second half of the 1800's.

A post office was established in 1890. A school was built in 1892 followed by the first resort hotel, taking advantage of the area's natural beauty. Following the Panic of 1893, hard times began in earnest but never affected Chelan completely. The first bank was established in 1893. Chelan was officially incorporated on May 7, 1902. In 1903, the city gained electric lights and water service via nearby Donaldson Springs. A permanent town hall was constructed in 1904 (but was destroyed by fire in 1927).
From Wikipedia:
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and is located in London, England. It is commonly called the Houses of Parliament after the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two legislative chambers which occupy the building. The palace has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
The site of the current palace may have been used by Cnut during his reign from 1016 to 1035, and from c. 1045 – c. 1050 Edward the Confessor built a palace and the first Westminster Abbey. The oldest surviving part of the palace is Westminster Hall, which dates from the reign of William II (r. 1087–1100).
The building was originally constructed in the eleventh century as a royal palace and was the primary residence of the kings of England until 1512, when a fire destroyed the royal apartments. The monarch moved to the adjacent Palace of Whitehall, but the remainder of the palace continued to serve as the home of the Parliament of England, which had met there since the 13th century. In 1834 a second, larger fire destroyed the majority of the palace, but Westminster Hall was saved and incorporated into the replacement building.
The competition to design the new palace was won by the architect Charles Barry, who chose a Gothic Revival style for the building. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for 30 years, suffering delays, cost overruns, and the deaths of Barry and his assistant, Augustus Pugin. The palace contains chambers for the House of Commons, House of Lords, and the monarch, and has a floor area of 112,476 m2 (1,210,680 sq ft). Extensive repairs had to be made after the Second World War, including rebuilding the destroyed Commons chamber. Despite further conservation work having been carried out since, the palace is in urgent need of major repairs.
From www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200312-why-is-the-palace-of-...:
In 2012, the Houses of Commons and Lords commissioned a study on the condition of the palace, which indicated the need for major restoration work. The current sewage system was installed in 1888; there are more than 1,000 areas that contain asbestos; the chambers are not wheelchair accessible; and even rodents populate the place. Part of the building’s mechanical and electrical systems were installed after World War Two and should have been replaced in the 1980s but were not. Over the years, steam, gas and water services were built on top of each other and next to high-voltage electrical wires. And about 321km of telephone, broadcasting and sound wires need to be upgraded.
The Anston limestone used in the original construction, which was cheap and ideal for carving, began to quickly decay in the 19th Century and was only partially restored in the 1980s and ‘90s. On top of all of that, Barry and Pugin used combustible materials to decorate the palace’s interiors.

City of Soap Lake
Incorporated in 1919, Soap Lake is located in the heart of the Columbia Basin.
The lake is world renowned for its miraculous healing abilities. Come visit us and see why Soap Lake is Washington's health resort!
© 2009 City of Soap Lake - P.O. Box 1270 - 239 2nd Avenue SE, Soap Lake WA 98851 - (509) 246-1211
Soap Lake's mineral-rich waters have long been thought to have medicinal value. In fact, it is said that rival Indian tribes would call a truce when they came to Soap Lake to relax and heal themselves and their animals. This is verified by recorded history and the number of Indian artifacts found in the area over the years. Washington State tourist guides in the 1920s referred to Soap Lake as the "world's greatest mineral sea" and people afflicted with Buerger's diseaseBuerger's diseaseThromboangiitis obliterans is a recurring progressive inflammation and thrombosis of small and medium arteries and veins of the hands and feet...
found that bathing in the lake would cure their illnesses. The city of Soap Lake bills itself as "Washington's Health Resort".
This same picture I already incorporated to my gallery about a year ago and it was the first one that I published when I returned from my summer vacation in this area.
But this is at night and it is completely different although the buildings and the river are the same. For me it was very easy, because although I lacked a tripod, I could support the camera on the sill window of my room and shoot the times I wanted to achieve the final.
Strasbourg is crossed by number of rivers, tributaries and channels, so I do not know if this is the Rhine or any of the tributaries that come together in the same city.
This part of the city they call "la petite France" is beautiful and I was fortunate to be staying in the same center. Pure bliss.

Esta misma fotografia ya la incorporé a mi galeria hace cerca de un año y fue la primera que publiqué al regreso de mis vacaciones veraniegas por esta zona.
Pero esta es de noche y es completamente distinta aunque los edificios y el rio, sean los mismos. Para mi fue muy facil, pues aunque carecia de tripode, pude apoyar la camara en al alfeizar de la ventana de mi habitación y disparar las veces que quise hasta lograr la definitiva.
Estrasburgo está cruzada por cantidad de rios, afluentes y canales, por lo que ignoro si este es el Rhin o cualquiera de los afluentes que confluyen en la misma ciudad.
Esta parte de la ciudad que llaman "la petite France" es preciosa y tuve la fortuna de estar alojado en su mismo centro. Una gozada.

At long last I am back on Flickr. A cracking holiday in The States and a huge amount of pre holiday running around have kept me off-line for far too long.
On our holiday we visited three pals who all live in Western Montana. As well as that we incorporated a 2,400 mile drive through Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
This first upload captured a regular sight, a white tailed deer taking in some late evening sunshine on my pal, Mike's back lawn. There is a great deal of local wildlife that somehow manages to live amongst the residents of the Rattlesnake Valley. I didn't photograph the black bear (we only managed fleeting glimpses at night time). It made regular appearances whilst searching for apples and fortunately I didn't see the Mountain Lion that turned up and helped itself to a fawn in a neighbours garden.

Small marina in Muggia. Very nice place :)
Muggia is an Italian town in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia on the border with Slovenia. Lying on the eastern flank of the Gulf of Trieste, Muggia is the only Italian port town in Istria. The town's architecture is marked by its Venetian and Austrian history, and its harbour hosts a modern 500-berth marina for yachts (Porto San Rocco). Muggia originated as a prehistoric fortified village (castelliere), around 8th-7th century BC. The territory was conquered in 178–177 BC by the Romans, who created here a settlement. In 1420 it became part of the Republic of Venice and in 1797, Muggia became part of the Austrian Empire. After World War I and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, the town was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy and incorporated into the Province of Trieste. Muggia provides many evident traces of its Venetian traditions and origin, as showed by the dialect, the gastronomic traditions, the gothic-venetian style of some houses, the loggias, the ogive arches, the ancient coats of arms on the façades but mostly the main square, a true Venetian "campiello".

Miasteczko Muggia i niewielka przystań. Ładnie tam było :)
Muggia - miejscowość we Włoszech na półwyspie Istria, w regionie Friuli-Wenecja Julijska, w prowincji Triest. Jest jedynym włoskim miastem portowym na półwyspie Istria. W architekturze miasta dominują wpływy weneckie i austriackie, zaś w porcie znajduje się nowoczesna przystań dla jachtów z 500 miejscami postojowymi (Porto San Rocco). Muggia powstała jako prehistoryczna ufortyfikowana wioska (castelliere) około VIII-VII wieku p.n.e. Obszar ten został podbity w latach 178–177 p.n.e. przez Rzymian, którzy stworzyli tutaj osadę. W 1420 r. Muggia stała się częścią Republiki Weneckiej, a w 1797 r. weszła w skład Cesarstwa Austriackiego. Po I wojnie światowej i rozpadzie Austro-Węgier miasto zostało przyłączone do Królestwa Włoch i włączone do prowincji Triest. W Muggii można znaleźć wiele śladów weneckich tradycji i kultury, o czym świadczą dialekt, tradycje gastronomiczne, gotycko-wenecki styl niektórych domów, loggie, ostrołuki, starożytne herby na fasadach, ale przede wszystkim główny plac, prawdziwe weneckie „campiello”.
St. Michael ist die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche der Stadt Dormagen.
Die ursprünglich romanische Kirche wurde im 12. Jahrhundert aufgeführt. 1274 wurde sie dem Kölner Andreasstift inkorporiert. Das Langhaus wurde in gotischer Zeit durch einen Neubau ersetzt; der aus Tuffstein gemauerte romanische Turm blieb erhalten. 1887 wurde das gotische Langhaus niedergelegt – sein Grundriss ist im Pflaster markiert – und westlich des Turms ein dreischiffiger neogotischer Neubau von Franz Statz errichtet. Dabei wurde die ursprünglich geostete Kirche nach Westen ausgerichtet. Zusätzlich wurde dem Turm ein viertes Geschoss aufgesetzt.
St. Michael is the Roman Catholic parish church of the city of Dormagen.
The originally Romanesque church was built in the 12th century. In 1274 it was incorporated into the Cologne Andreasstift. The nave was replaced by a new building in the Gothic period; The Romanesque tower made of tuff stone was preserved. In 1887 the Gothic nave was demolished - its floor plan is marked in the pavement - and a three-aisled neo-Gothic new building by Franz Statz was built to the west of the tower. The originally east-facing church was aligned to the west. In addition, a fourth floor was added to the tower.
A. A. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, on whom the character Christopher Robin was based. Shepard in turn based his illustrations of Pooh on his own son's teddy bear named Growler, instead of Christopher Robin's bear.. The rest of Christopher Milne's toys – Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger – were incorporated into Milne's stories. Two more characters, Owl and Rabbit, were created by Milne's imagination, while Gopher was added to the Disney version.

Excerpt from www.insidehalton.com/news/metrolinx-new-drury-lane-pedest...:
The new Drury Lane pedestrian bridge opened to the public Oct. 31, 2025 after almost eight months of construction and five weeks behind schedule.
Andrea Ernesaks, Metrolinx senior media relations manager, confirmed on Monday, Nov. 3, the new pedestrian bridge connecting Drury Lane to Orpha Court over the railway tracks will stay open. It is safe for use by cyclists and pedestrians, while “minor finishing works will be taking place over the coming months.”
Anticipated work in the area during the next four to five months, according to a notice on the Metrolinx website, includes landscaping and restoration to the construction area.
Metrolinx started the project with demolition of the original 53-year-old bridge on March 7. An original Sept. 26 opening was delayed.
Burlington cycling advisory committee member Corey Finnigan said he rode over the new bridge for the first time Tuesday, Nov. 4.
“The ramps are not as steep as they were and the corners are 90 degrees instead of 180. So overall the bridge is much easier to navigate on a bike or with a stroller or shopping cart,” Finnigan stated in an email.
He said he’s happy he can once again cross the railway at Drury Lane and Orpha Street rather than having to use busier Burlington streets.
Finnigan said he’d assess how slippery the new bridge deck is once some snow and ice is added this winter but “so far, under dry and well-lit conditions, the new bridge is wonderful.”
The Metrolinx website noted a single bridge upgrade may not seem like a big deal, but the crossing provides “a vital connection point” to surrounding neighbourhoods.
“The new and improved structure will not only help residents and customers better access nearby Burlington GO Station and local amenities, but it also provides a crucial link for students who cross the rail corridor every day to get to and from the local elementary school just south of the bridge,” the post stated.
Benefits of the new bridge:
1. Improved pedestrian access and safety across the rail corridor
2. Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act compliance
3. Allows for potential electrification infrastructure to be incorporated into the rail corridor in the future
The Town of Palm Beach is an incorporated town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The Intracoastal Waterway separates it from the neighboring cities of West Palm Beach and Lake Worth. In 2000, Palm Beach had a year-round population of 10,468, with an estimated seasonal population of 30,000. In 2018, Bloomberg ranked Palm Beach as the 27th-wealthiest place in the United States.
Prior to being established as a resort by Henry Morrison Flagler, who made the Atlantic coast barrier island accessible via his Florida East Coast Railway, Palm Beach was a sparsely populated part of Lake Worth. The nucleus of the community was established by Flagler's two luxury resort hotels, the Royal Poinciana Hotel and The Breakers Hotel. West Palm Beach was built across Lake Worth as a service town and has become a major city in its own right.
Flagler's house lots were bought by the beneficiaries of the Gilded Age, and in 1902 Flagler himself built a Beaux-Arts mansion, Whitehall, designed by the New York-based firm Carrère and Hastings and helped establish the Palm Beach winter "season" by constantly entertaining. The town was incorporated on 17 April 1911.
An area known as the Styx housed the people who built up the island. Workers rented small houses from the landowners. In the early 1900s, the landowners agreed to evict all of the residents of the Styx (who moved to West Palm Beach, Florida) and Edward R. Bradley bought up much of this land. The houses were razed, according to the Palm Beach Daily News.
The wreck of the Providencia is credited with giving Palm Beach its famous name. The Providencia was traveling from Havana to Cádiz, Spain with a cargo of coconuts harvested on the Caribbean island of Trinidad, when the shipwrecked near Palm Beach. Many of the coconuts were naturalized or were planted along the Palm Beach coast. A lush grove of palm trees soon grew on what would later be named Palm Beach. Today the tallest coconut palms in the United States can be found along the Palm Beach coast.

Bis Anfang der 1970-er Jahre war Marzahn, das 1920 nach Berlin eingemeindet worden war, ein von Landwirtschaft geprägtes Dorf. Seine Struktur ist die eines typisch märkischen Angerdorfs, d. h. die Häuser des historischen Ortskerns liegen an einer Straße, die sich an beiden Enden gabelt und so den Anger, eine große Grünfläche, umfasst. Auf dem Anger stehen stehen die Kirche, die Schule und die ehemalige kleine Poststelle. Um diesen 1977 unter Denkmalschutz gestellten Ortskern wurde in den 1970-er und 1980-er Jahren die Großsiedlung Marzahn errichtet. 1979 wurde die Großsiedlung Marzahn mit mehreren weiteren Gebieten aus dem damaligen Stadtbezirk Lichtenberg herausgelöst und zu einem eigenen Stadtbezirk. Auch dieser wurde 1986 erneut geteilt in die Stadtbezirke Marzahn und Hellersdorf, die wiederum 2001 wieder unter dem Namen Marzahn-Hellersdorf zu einem einzigen Stadtbezirk mit ca. 269.000 Einwohnern vereinigt wurden. Die Erinnerung an die landwirtschaftliche Tradition Marzahns wird durch den Kleintierhof in einem alten Bauernhof im Dorf und seine Außengehege unterhalb der Bockwindmühle gepflegt.
Until the early 1970s, Marzahn, which had been incorporated into Berlin in 1920, was an agricultural village. Its structure is that of a typical Brandenburg village, i.e. the houses in the historic centre of the village are situated along a road that branches off at both ends, thus enclosing the village green, a large green area. The church, the school and the former small post office stand on the village green. The large housing estate of Marzahn was built in the 1970s and 1980s around this village centre, which was listed in 1977. In 1979 the large housing estate Marzahn and several other areas were separated from the borough of Lichtenberg and became a separate borough under the name of Marzahn. In 1986 this was again divided into the boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf, which in turn were reunited in 2001 under the name of Marzahn-Hellersdorf to form a single borough with approx. 269,000 inhabitants.
The memory of Marzahn's agricultural tradition is cherished by the Small Animal Farm in former farmstead in village and its outdoor enclosures below the windmill.

Pileated Woodpecker - Male
Caught another opportunity to take some photos of this woodpecker. He apparently found a tree he really liked because unlike the previous encounter, he spent a good 20 minutes pounding away at this dead tree. Managed some nice debris shots like this one.

The S-92B is an anti-aircraft platform in service with the Zlovenian National Army.
Inspired by conspicuous amounts of vodka and Kop-Tek Industry's attempt at mounting a silly gun on the back of a truck, the engineers at Zlovenia Arms Incorporated decided to do the same thing. The result was a 20mm chain gun mounted on the platform of an S-53 Kuše SAM system. With 2 MANPADs because why the hell not at this point, the reasoning went.
And so, with a health dosage of military-industrial complex and a dash of alcohol, the S-92B somehow went into production as an actual thing.
In service, the S-92B, despite it's interesting origins, has actually proved to be a quite effective, if expensive, point defense system.

We arrived at Crystal Mill. The beauty of this old structure was amazing. It is known as one of the most photographed historic sites in Colorado. I must admit, I took my fair share of photos too!
Crystal was incorporated in 1881. At its peak it had 400 residents, two newspapers, a pool hall, a men’s club, barber shop and two hotels. By 1915 only eight people lived in Crystal. Today there is a general store, public outhouse and several cabins available for short term rent. The few residents live in Crystal during the summer months only. We didn’t walk to the townsite of Crystal. It was starting to drizzle and we had a long hike and ride back.
