Jesse Jackson is a civil rights legend in America and it was an honor to hear him speak. Considering he's 80 years old and both him and his wife recently just recovered from Covid, I know it could not have been easy to join these protests in Chicago and in Kenosha.

There's nothing like watching those few moments when the sun kisses those peaks......
It was a cool brisk morning and the winds had just subsided.
As daylight came, the blue hour treated us to such colorful pastels in the skies above the Grand Tetons. The cloud formation above was somewhat surreal.
Probably surrounded by 30 other photographers on that chilly morning .... but it was certainly a rewarding & fun outing.
Thanks for taking a look
Your feedback is always so much appreciated......
Happy Friday & have a great weekend.

Der erste Damm am Jackson Lake wurde 1906 gebaut. Das Gebiet um die Mündung des Jackson Lake war für menschliche Besiedlung nicht geeignet, da das Schmelzwasser im Frühling die Gegend anfällig für Überschwemmungen und unbrauchbar für den Bau von Siedlungen machte. Der erste Dammbau erwies sich als unbrauchbar, da er aus wartungsanfälligen Materialien errichtet worden war und den Spiegel des Sees nur um wenige Meter anhob.
1902 wurde der Reclamation Act von Präsident Theodore Roosevelt unterzeichnet, um die weitere Besiedlung des trockenen Westens zu fördern. Die Bundesregierung förderte mehrere Projekte, die den Wasserfluss regulieren sollten, um bessere Ressourcen für die Landwirtschaft zu schaffen.
Überall im Westen wurden Dämme, Bewässerungsgräben, Kanäle und Stauseen gebaut. Die Idee war, die notwendige Infrastruktur zu schaffen, um Viehzüchter mit Wasser zu versorgen.
Am Jackson Lake baute der Reclamation Service den Damm mit der Absicht, den Seespiegel für die Bewässerung auf Ackerland am Snake River in Idaho zu kontrollieren. Mit einer wachsenden Bevölkerung wurde Moran zu einem idealen Ort für Einheimische, um Geschäfte zu gründen, die sich um die Dammarbeiter kümmern würden. Der Bau des neuen Damms begann 1911 und dauerte bis 1916. Zu dieser Zeit hatte die Stadt eine stabile Wirtschaft aufgrund der vielen Besucher, die zum und vom Yellowstone-Nationalpark reisten. Der Damm von 1916 existiert noch heute, er wurde 1986-89 verstärkt, um den neuen Anforderungen für Erdbeben gerecht zu werden.
Driving through this world unknown
I've built my life on broken bones
Not living for this anymore
You want a fight, I'll bring a war
I feel alive inside
I won't be terrorized
I'll take all the blame
This heart of fire is burning proud
I am every dream you lost and never found
This heart of fire is stronger now
Build your walls, but you can't keep me out
And I'll burn 'em down
I am every vow you broke
They left for dead and turned to smoke
Arm yourself with words of hate
I'm ripping through the souls you take
I feel alive inside
I won't be terrorized
I'll stand up to the pain
Jackson Bay is the furthest south you can drive on the Western Coast roads. It's is a working fishing village that is now considered a World Heritage Area.

I've always thought the US Currency needed some colour, so I gave Mr. Jackson some. I painted this in Photoshop Elements 2022. Thanks to You All For The Wonderful Comments and Encouragement!
Jackson ist Durchgangsstation für viele Touristen, die nahegelegene Sehenswürdigkeiten wie den Grand-Teton-Nationalpark, den Yellowstone-Nationalpark und das National Elk Refuge besuchen. Nahe Jackson gibt es attraktive Skigebiete. Wikipedia
The employee at the hardware store shot me a side glance when she found me reaching into a trash can with my iPhone to capture this shot. For a few strange moments I might as well have been at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City or any modernist gallery but I was in the paint department of Goody's Hardware in East Haven, Connecticut. That's right, the entire black plastic trash can was empty but lined with splattered paint in mostly red, yellow, ochre and white. It was a remarkable find ala Jackson Pollock, a fine example of accidental modernist art. Voila!
This is a view of one interior side of this trash can.

From our room in the Four Season's we were treated each morning to this view of the sunrise over Jackson Hole Wyoming. I could get accustomed to this.

An area of Richmond, Virginia that I venture into a half dozen times a year or so, but always for the 2nd Street Festival. On the first weekend of October about 6 or 8 city blocks are closed and this place comes alive. If you want to hear Jazz, Blues, Gospel or Rap music it is all here on 3 separate nonstop stages. Arts, crafts and cultural items are for sale and OMG the food. If you are the kind of person who can't walk by a mess of collard greens, then you are going to be in heaven. Ethiopian, Jamaican and Carribean foods are represented but the focus is on Southern Soul Food. The kind your Mamma wishes she could cook! So much fun, that some years I have attended both Saturday and Sunday.

With the work finished on the West Bend sub, Mr. G. Berkholz finishes up his paperwork while I snap a quick shot of our train at Jackson, before heading back toward DBR Jct., North Milwaukee and eventually Ackerville for the tie up.

Iconic view of St Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square (with a statue of Andrew Jackson, who was the seventh president of the United States) in the foreground.
A late comment: did anyone notice that there's not a thousand tourists in this picture? But it was at the height of Mardi Gras. I caught it at a good moment.
