White Rock, BC Canada
The White Rock Promenade and Pier offers over two and a half kilometres of trial along the shoreline of this beautiful small town stretching from end to end. Here, visitors can walk alongside historic buildings, train tracks, inviting beaches and shallow ocean waters or grab a drink or snack from the nearby shops and restaurants.
Popular throughout the year and especially in the summer months with the regions booming tourism industry, White Rock's Promenade and Pier are the perfect destination for a day of fun in the sun.
Stretching two and a half kilometres across the waterfront of this small town, the White Rock Promenade and its adjoining 1,500 foot pier which is built into Semiahmoo Bay are the areas most popular attractions. Starting from the east near the crossroads of Finlay Street and Marine Drive the Promenade moves westwards alongside notable landmarks and locales such as the White Rock (for which the town is named for) and the Museum and Archives in the old train station and culminates at Bay Street and Marine Drive.
A year round destination, the Promenade and Pier allow visitors and locals to experience White Rock and its surroundings. In the summer months visitors to the area can enjoy beautiful views, balmy weather, swimming and playing on the beaches below the promenade and fishing off the pier. Summer also brings the White Rock Sandcastle Competition where amazing sculptures are built along the shores which visitors can enjoy and walk through with a self-guided tour.
Above the promenade and pier, along Marine Drive, dozens of restaurants and shops are open for exploration offering a wide range of goods and services - here, visitors can grab an ice cream cone or fish and chips and eat them on the nearby beach or continue their leisurely stroll along the trail. The train tracks are still operational and every so often trains come through this seaside town - be sure to look both ways before crossing the tracks when walking to the promenade.
The White Rock Pier and Promenade offer many activities, attractions and historic buildings and areas to enjoy. It is well worth the trip to enjoy a day or a few hours on the shores of this beautiful town on the edge of British Columbia

I just want to offer a quick explanation of what in the holy hell I am doing with this project.
I started my 365 self-portrait project on 11/25/08 and completed it on 12/5/09. (I quit for 10 straight days around March 2009 and decided to come back, hence the lapse that marks every photo after that).
My rule was simple: take a self-portrait everyday for a year.
And for a while, I was able to edit it and write about it the same day I took the photo. But I stopped doing that a while ago.
So now? I’ve completed the everyday self-portrait segment of this project. I’m just taking my sweet ass time editing, writing, and completing the photos I’ve already taken. Fuck it, why not?
And just in case you gave a shit, and don’t ever finish or look, there is a date stamp at the bottom of every photo caption. And the location is there too. And let’s not forget the album I list on every photo and it’s accompanying music video.
No wonder I couldn’t finish this bitch on time. I have too much fucking shit in my caption. Yeah – get it. Lesson learned.
The photo at hand? I took the babe back down to crab cove, which was the same place I went the day before on day 319. After various unsuccessful attempts at producing a picture worth a shit and the sun hastily going down, I spotted these benches. I quickly gave the babestar my cell phone, blackberry, and sunglasses and threw her on top of the table.
This essentially is a portrait of the babe with me sneaking in just because I had to. I kind of feel like I cheated because my addition to this photo in effect detracts from it. Stupid self-portrait project!
The album at hand? It’s hard to categorize this band. They produce very typical guitar/drum/rock sound that comes out these days. Yet they are catchy but when you’re listening you just don’t know why. The music has the right balance of electronica versus rock. It’s really accessible to a large crowd of people who just like good rock music.

The 90 offers an hourly service Monday to Saturday between Nottingham and Newark via Bingham, running with a Merc Sprinter van and an E200MMC.
315 is the bigger vehicle on offer currently, pictured at Saxondale Island taking the A52 Bingham By Pass exit, the 90 serving Bingham via Tithby Road opposed to the Mainline serving Nottingham Road (the turnoff where I'm stood).
Central Oregon offers up a better look at Oregon's past than most other parts of the state, partly because the dry climate preserves wooden structures far better than it does over here on the other side of the Cascades.
This is my favorite abandoned gas station in the area, which is located in Sherman County. This is not a great look at the station, which features a set of beautiful old analogue pumps. But with the brightest part of the Milky Way heading further and further west as the months progress, I had to stick with this and similar comps to fit everything in the frame.
Probably should have gone for a pano ... but the pack of coyotes that was circling me loudly at the time I was shooting kind of put me on the road to a different spot a bit earlier than I had planned. I hope you enjoy it all the same.
Thanks for viewing!
Sylvan Lake is a lake located in Custer State Park, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, United States. Created in 1881 when Theodore Reder built a dam (the Sylvan Lake Water Dam) across Sunday Gulch Creek. The lake area offers picnic places, rock climbing, small rental boats, swimming, and hiking trails. It is also popular as a starting point for excursions to Black Elk Peak and The Needles. A hotel was operated on the shore of the lake in the early 20th century. The lake was featured in Disney's 2007 film National Treasure: Book of Secrets. The film made the lake appear to be located directly behind Mount Rushmore when in reality it is actually five miles southwest of Mount Rushmore.

Sylvan Lake is probably the most recognizable of the five Custer State Park lakes, and of any of the Black Hills lakes for that matter. Its definitely a favorite of almost anyone who has seen it, especially photographers, artists or anyone that saw the Nicolas Cage movie "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets" (although the location may seem off). Sylvan Lake is a very popular spot for weddings and other special occasions or as the most beautiful swimming hole one could possibly find. Sylvan Lake has been one of the park's most popular spots since before the park even existed and because of that, it has almost every amenity imaginable from rooms and fine-dining in the historic Sylvan Lake Lodge, to campsites (sorry, no large RVs or trailers), a general store, amazing hiking trails and more. There's also a swimming beach and boat rentals (non-motorized only) where visitors can rent paddle boats, canoes or other watercraft rentals. Fishing is allowed in any one of Custer State Park's lakes with a valid South Dakota fishing license. Any Black Hills vacation would not be complete without a day spent exploring and enjoying all that this crown jewel of Custer State Park (which, by the way, is considered one of the best state parks in America) holds.

Custer State Park is a South Dakota State Park and wildlife reserve in the Black Hills, United States. The park is South Dakota's largest and first state park, named after Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer. The area originally started out as sixteen sections, but was later changed into one block of land because of the challenges of the terrain. The park began to grow rapidly in the 1920s and gained new land. During the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps built miles of roads, laid out parks and campgrounds, and built three dams that set up a future of water recreation at the park. In 1964 an additional 22,900 acres (93 km2) were added to the park. The park covers an area of over 71,000 acres (287 km2) of hilly terrain and is home to many wild animals. The park is home to a famous herd of 1500 free roaming bison. Elk, coyotes, mule deer, white tailed deer, mountain goats, prairie dogs, bighorn sheep, river otters, pronghorn, cougars, and feral burros also inhabit the park. The park is famous for its scenery, its scenic drives (Needles Highway and the wildlife loop), with views of the bison herd and prairie dog towns. This park is easily accessible by road from Rapid City. Other nearby attractions are Wind Cave National Park, Mount Rushmore, Jewel Cave National Monument, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Badlands National Park. The popularity of the park grew in 1927, when U.S. President Calvin Coolidge made it his "summer White House" and announced from the Black Hills that he would not seek a second full term in office in the election of 1928.

www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/n/newportwetlands/index.as...
This nature reserve offers a haven for wildlife on the edge of the city, but is a great place for people too with a new RSPB visitor centre, a café, shop and children's play area.
Cetti's warblers and bearded tits can be seen and heard in the reedbeds, and ducks, geese and swans visit the reserve in large numbers during the winter. You'll enjoy spectacular views of the Severn estuary all year round.
Newport Wetlands is a partnership between Natural Resources Wales, Newport City Council and the RSPB.
Opening times
Open every day (closed Christmas Day), 9 am to 5 pm (Coffee Shop open 10 am to 4 pm). On Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the centre will be open from 10 am to 4 pm and the coffee shop will be open 10 am to 3.30 pm. Please note that the carpark also closes at 5:30pm.
Entrance charges
None
If you are new to birdwatching...
Autumn/winter is the best time of year for birdwatching at Newport Wetlands when migratory wildfowl and wading birds begin to arrive ready for their winter stay.
Information for families
Newport Wetlands visitor centre is ideal for children and families. Guided walks and children's activities are available on the reserve, drinks and a bite to eat can be enjoyed in the coffee shop afterwards, followed by a browse in the retail area. Children will find the outdoor children's activity area with its 4 m high simulation of the East Usk Lighthouse very entertaining. We can offer a variety of fun environmental activity and exploration days for a wide range of local interest groups.
Information for dog owners
Some access for dogs - marked footpaths on perimeter of reserve. For more information, please contact the NRW enquiry line.
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Bearded tit
You will often hear bearded tits before you see them. Listen for their bell-like 'pinging' calls, then watch them whizzing across the tops of the reeds. They perch up on the stems in calm weather and feed on fallen seeds on the mud at the base of the reeds.
Dunlin
Dunlins can be seen at Newport Wetlands at almost any time. They breed further north, including in the Arctic, but migrating birds pass through in spring and autumn and some also spend winter here. Watch for them probing their beaks into the mud as they feed.
Little egret
These dainty little white herons can be seen throughout the year at Newport. You can see them fishing, stirring up fish fry from the muddy bottom with their feet.
Little grebe
Listen for little grebes 'whinnying' in spring as part of their courtship displays. They are small, round birds, and remarkably buoyant despite their fluffy feathers.
Shoveler
Shovelers are commonest here in winter, but are also a regular breeding bird. Watch them using their beaks like sieves to sift out microscopic aquatic life from the water.
Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Spring is the start of the breeding season and is an active and exciting time of year at Newport Wetlands, as birds set about finding their mates and building nests. Breeding waders at the reserve include lapwings and oystercatchers. Bearded tits begin to nest in the reedbeds. During late April and early May, swallows and swifts begin arriving from Africa, and can be seen flying overhead. This is a great time of year to listen out for the distinctive call of the cuckoo and many plants, including orchids, will begin to burst into colourful flower.
Summer
Grass snakes can sometimes be seen soaking up the sun or skimming expertly through the water among the reeds. Around sixteen species of dragonflies, twenty-three species of butterfly and two hundred species of moth are found at Newport Wetlands. After dark is the best time for moth spotting, but visitors are likely to see species like cinnabar moths and scarlet tiger moths during the daytime. The reserve is also home to badgers, moles and wood mice. Otters live here too, but are notoriously shy of humans and can be difficult to spot. Their droppings, or ‘spraint’, are the most commonly spotted clue to their presence.
Autumn
In autumn, the reeds turn from a vibrant lush green to yellowing brown. Groups of goldfinches can be seen flitting around the reserve and are particularly visible along Perry Lane, using their long beaks to extract seeds from the teasels. Autumn is another extremely active season at Newport Wetlands, as migratory wildfowl and wading birds begin to arrive ready for their winter stay. Curlews, redshanks, dunlins and oystercatchers feed on the estuary at low tide using their long, pointy beaks to sift through the nutritious mud for worms and grubs.
Winter
The starling roost at the reserve is a not-to-be-missed wildlife experience. From October onwards, large groups of starlings gather at dusk in great black clouds. At its peak, around 50,000 birds swoop and soar overhead, chattering noisily. After a breathtaking display, the birds drop dramatically into the reedbeds where they settle for the night. Another winter treat at Newport Wetlands is a single bittern, which has been seen here most winters since 2001. Bitterns are rare and extremely secretive, moving silently through the reeds looking for fish. Parts of the reserve provide a winter home for nationally important numbers of black-tailed godwits, shovelers and dunlins.

Winter offers photographers challenges - one must rely on form and light rather the vivid colors. Here, about 150mm, f/11, 800, -1/3 stop. Winter transforms the radiant colors of an oriental Spring garden into permutations of brown.
Day progresses with all idiosyncrasies of a mildly disfunctional family. At 2:00 our son gave us a personal piano concert including "Maybe" by Yiruma www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF9w_iERKMA. Honestly I can tell the difference between recording and son's playing. Music soothes the soul. A talk from Tres Dias (De Colores) on "Ideals" followed.
With son on the bus to Incheon and flight to San Francisco, a theraputic clicking of camera shutter was in order.
The light in the resulting shot bring to mind the Jays of Clay" praise song "I Need You", at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LkBMOGrqvY . Check out the link - you get a double blessing: uptempo music and a look into Cambodia.
By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. Proverbs 3: 19-23
"Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them." Carl Schurz
“Some offer their wealth, their austerity, and their practice of yoga as sacrifice, while the ascetics with strict vows offer their study of scriptures and knowledge as sacrifice.”
(Bhagavad Gita)
Since a few weeks those sadhus are staying at Darabhanga Ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
The building of this ghat is a palace which was made by the king of Darabhanga from the Indian state of Bihar, it is now being restored into a luxurious hotel.
Beneath its wall several paintings showing a few gods and saints are preventing people to use this place as a bathroom and allowed this ghat to become clean again.
There is a kind of irony to see those men living there now...

Per the forest service website: Located on the ridgeline above Hells Canyon the Hat Point Overlook and Day Use Area offers fantastic views of the canyon and the Wild and Scenic Snake River. The site has interpretive panels about the canyon and scenic views of the canyon below. A climb up the fire lookout tower allows better views of the river and rugged canyon landscape. (DSC_9107.jpg)
Pakistan offered some very fine 76cm gauge steam. One of the lines was Kohat - Thal. In 1983 we took the train for the full journey. There was no first class, only a sleeper car! The guard persisted we should pay the sleeper fare, but after I proved I could not stretch my body on the short (76 cm gauge!) benches, he laughed and let us be.
This annually organized festival offers tourists to attend folk dances and music concerts. This festival provides an exclusive opportunity to witness the creative ingenuity of the artisans and craftspeople. Nearly 32 cultural troupes from various districts of Gujarat participates in the Dance and Musical Carnival. This festival is being held in them month of December and last for a 3-4 days but this time it was held for a month.
These performances are held in the Salt (White) desert but because of the unexpected rain showers it was cancelled for a few days so i was not able witness it myself. A grand Tent City of 400 tents, consisting of both air- conditioned and non-air-conditioned tents is set up on the outskirt of bordering village of Dhorado (Kutch). So i one can stay there and enjoy the cultural evenings and from this place they also organize bus tours to the city.

Banksy. A mysterious British artist known for his humorous and political street art. The Banksy exhibition at Moco contains several of his infamous street pieces, as well a large number of his indoor works, including work on canvas. One of these is his giant 'Beanfield' painting, a beautiful piece that is displayed on the ground floor. An impossible-to-miss eye-catcher as you enter the Banksy exhibition. Other highlights include 'Girl with Balloon', 'Laugh Now' and 'Keep It Real'. The Banksy collection at Moco Museum: come check it out!
The Modern Contemporary (Moco) Museum has made its home in Villa Alsberg, a townhouse overlooking Museumplein in the heart of Amsterdam. The building was designed in 1904 by Eduard Cuypers, nephew of the renowned Pierre Cuypers who designed Amsterdam's Central Station and the Rijksmuseum, which is at the opposite end of the square. This privately-owned residence was one of the first family homes built along Museumplein and retained this function until 1939. Subsequently, the house was let to priests who taught at the Saint Nicolas School in Amsterdam, and later it was converted into an office for a law firm.
No effort is spared to ensure that this breathtaking mansion makes an impact on visitors, adding an extra layer to the Moco experience. There is one small drawback, though: charming as the building is, its compact size does mean it can feel crowded during peak hours.
The Moco Museum is a private initiative of Lionel and Kim Logchies. The exhibited works of art are on loan from their carefully cultivated international network of art collectors. Part of the proceeds from the museum will be donated to charities that are close to the hearts of the initiators.

Hotel Fontego – A View of Cherso at the Beginning of the 20th Century
12329 R Cres Cherso – Hotel-Restaurant Fontego
~ 1921
An old postcard from the beginning of the 20th century offers us an extraordinary view of Cherso (Cres) at a time when the town was beginning to open itself to tourism. In the upper left corner of the postcard, one can read “Hotel-Restaurant Fontego, Cherso”, while the large inscription “HOTEL PENSION” dominates the façade of the building. This is the Hotel Fontego, one of the most interesting hotels in Cherso at that time.
The building stands directly beside the mandracchio, the small town harbour that for centuries had been the centre of Cherso’s maritime life. The hotel’s guests were not simply close to the sea: the sea was literally at the hotel’s doorstep. In front of the building we can see boats, small vessels and sailing ships, while along the waterfront move local inhabitants, travellers and sailors. Cherso was still deeply connected with the sea, and everyday life, trade, fishing and travel all took place along this waterfront.
The Fontego itself is much older than the hotel. The building was constructed as early as the 15th century on an area created by filling in part of the sea, and originally served as the town’s public granary, a fontego. Over the centuries it changed its function several times and was also used for administrative and educational purposes, before being converted into a hotel at the end of the 19th century.
The postcard shows the building in its new role as a hotel, at the beginning of the 20th century. The façade is simple and regular, with large windows and shutters. On the upper floor, the large inscription HOTEL PENSION stands out, functioning as an advertisement for travellers arriving in Cherso by sea. The postcard itself also indicates the presence of a restaurant, describing the establishment as “Hotel-Restaurant Fontego.”
The scene in front of the hotel is particularly evocative. Local inhabitants and travellers gather along the waterfront, while small boats can be seen on the water. On one of the boats, passengers appear to be boarding or disembarking. The scene illustrates how closely Cherso was connected with the sea at that time: the harbour was a means of communication, a landing place, a meeting point and almost a town square on the water.
In the background appears the compact urban fabric of historic Cherso, with its houses, palaces and characteristic red-tiled roofs; behind the town rise the island’s hills. The postcard therefore preserves an entire urban landscape: the hotel, the mandracchio, the boats, the travellers, the old houses and the hills in the background.
The name Fontego is also interesting. The Venetian term referred to a building used for storage and trade, where goods were kept and merchants could conduct their business. The Fontego of Cherso therefore represents a particularly significant transformation: from a Venetian-era public granary, through various public functions, into a hotel and restaurant serving travellers and the first tourists.
The Hotel Fontego was therefore not an isolated hotel detached from the rest of the town. Its position on the mandracchio made it an integral part of urban life. A traveller arriving in Cherso by ship at the beginning of the 20th century would have found himself immediately immersed in the atmosphere of the town: before him were the harbour, the historic centre and the hotel.
For this reason, this old postcard does not merely depict a hotel. It is a small historical document of the birth of modern tourism in Cherso, as well as of the transformation of the town from a traditional maritime centre into a new tourist destination.
The Hotel Fontego would later become known as the Hotel Cres, but this old postcard preserves the moment when it still bore its historic name, and when, at its very doors, the centuries-old maritime tradition of Cherso met the new world of tourism.
Hotel Fontego – hotel uz creski Mandrać
12329 R Cres Cherso - Hotel - Restaurant Fontego ~ 1921.
Jedna stara razglednica s početka 20. stoljeća pruža nam izvanredan pogled na Cres u vremenu kada se grad počeo otvarati turizmu. U gornjem lijevom kutu razglednice stoji njemački natpis „Hotel-Restaurant Fontego, Cherso“, dok na samoj zgradi velikim slovima piše „HOTEL PENSION“. Pred nama je tako Hotel Fontego, jedan od najzanimljivijih creskih hotela svoga vremena.
Zgrada se nalazi neposredno uz Mandrać, malu gradsku luku koja je stoljećima bila središte pomorskog života Cresa. Gosti hotela nisu boravili samo uz more – more je doslovno bilo pred njihovim vratima. Pred zgradom se vide brodice, čamci i jedrilice, a uz rivu ljudi koji dolaze i odlaze iz luke. Cres je tada još uvijek bio izrazito pomorski grad, u kojemu su se svakodnevni život, trgovina, ribarstvo i putovanja odvijali upravo uz ovu obalu.
Sam je Fontego mnogo stariji od hotela. Zgrada je podignuta još u 15. stoljeću na prostoru dobivenom nasipanjem mora, a izvorno je služila kao gradska žitnica – fontego. Kroz stoljeća mijenjala je namjene; bila je povezana s gradskom upravom i školom, da bi krajem 19. stoljeća dobila novu, hotelsku funkciju.
Razglednica pokazuje kako je ta stara građevina početkom 20. stoljeća izgledala u svojoj hotelskoj ulozi. Pročelje je jednostavno i pravilno oblikovano, s velikim prozorima i karakterističnim kapcima. Na gornjoj etaži posebno se ističe veliki natpis HOTEL PENSION, koji je bio svojevrsna reklama putnicima koji su u Cres pristizali morskim putem. Uz hotelski dio spominje se i restoran, što je jasno navedeno na samoj razglednici.
Posebno je dojmljiv prizor ispred hotela. Uz kamenu obalu okupljeni su stanovnici i putnici, dok se u vodi nalaze male barke. Na jednom od čamaca upravo se odvija ukrcaj ili iskrcaj putnika. Takvi prizori pokazuju koliko je tadašnji Cres bio vezan uz more: luka je bila prometnica, pristanište, mjesto susreta i svojevrsni gradski trg na vodi.
U pozadini se vidi gusto izgrađeni povijesni Cres s kućama, palačama i crvenim krovovima, a iznad grada uzdiže se otočni krajolik. Na razglednici je tako sačuvan gotovo čitav jedan creski ambijent – hotel, Mandrać, brodice, putnici, gradske kuće i brda u pozadini.
Zanimljivo je i samo ime Fontego. Mletačka riječ označavala je skladišno-trgovačku zgradu, odnosno mjesto gdje se roba pohranjivala i gdje su trgovci mogli boraviti i poslovati. Creski Fontego tako je kroz stoljeća doživio zanimljivu preobrazbu: od mletačke gradske žitnice, preko javne zgrade, do hotela i restorana namijenjenog putnicima i turistima.
Hotel Fontego pritom nije bio izolirani turistički objekt. Njegov položaj uz Mandrać činio ga je dijelom samog gradskog života. Putnik koji bi početkom 20. stoljeća stigao u Cres brodom praktički je odmah ulazio u njegovu atmosferu: pred njim su bili luka, stari grad i hotel. Upravo zato ova razglednica nije samo prikaz jednog hotela – ona je mali dokument o početku modernog turizma u Cresu i o prijelazu grada iz tradicionalnog pomorskog središta prema turističkom odredištu.
Hotel Fontego kasnije će postati poznat kao Hotel Cres, ali stara razglednica sačuvala je trenutak kada je još nosio svoje povijesno ime i kada su se pred njegovim vratima susretali stari creski pomorski život i novi svijet turizma.
Hotel Fontego – una veduta di Cherso all’inizio del XX secolo
12329 R Cres Cherso - Hotel - Restaurant Fontego ~ 1921.
Una vecchia cartolina dell’inizio del XX secolo ci offre una straordinaria veduta di Cherso nel periodo in cui la città cominciava ad aprirsi al turismo. Nell’angolo superiore sinistro della cartolina si legge «Hotel-Restaurant Fontego, Cherso», mentre sulla facciata dell’edificio campeggia la grande scritta «HOTEL PENSION». Si tratta dell’Hotel Fontego, uno degli alberghi più interessanti della Cherso di quell’epoca.
L’edificio sorge direttamente accanto al mandracchio, il piccolo porto cittadino che per secoli fu il centro della vita marittima di Cherso. Gli ospiti dell’albergo non erano semplicemente vicini al mare: il mare era letteralmente davanti alla porta dell’hotel. Di fronte all’edificio si vedono barche, piccoli battelli e velieri, mentre lungo la riva si muovono abitanti, viaggiatori e marinai. Cherso era allora ancora profondamente legata al mare e la vita quotidiana, il commercio, la pesca e gli spostamenti si svolgevano proprio lungo questa costa.
Lo stesso Fontego è molto più antico dell’albergo. L’edificio fu costruito già nel XV secolo su un'area ottenuta attraverso il riempimento del mare e originariamente serviva come granaio pubblico della città, uno fontego. Nel corso dei secoli cambiò più volte funzione: fu utilizzato anche per attività amministrative e scolastiche, fino a essere trasformato in albergo alla fine del XIX secolo.
La cartolina mostra l’edificio nella sua nuova funzione alberghiera, all’inizio del XX secolo. La facciata è semplice e regolare, caratterizzata da grandi finestre e persiane. Al piano superiore spicca la grande scritta HOTEL PENSION, una sorta di insegna pubblicitaria destinata ai viaggiatori che arrivavano a Cherso dal mare. La stessa cartolina indica anche la presenza del ristorante, definendo l’esercizio come «Hotel-Restaurant Fontego».
Particolarmente suggestiva è la scena davanti all’albergo. Lungo la riva sono raccolti abitanti e viaggiatori, mentre sull’acqua si vedono piccole imbarcazioni. Su una delle barche sembra essere in corso l’imbarco o lo sbarco dei passeggeri. La scena mostra quanto la Cherso di quell’epoca fosse legata al mare: il porto era una via di comunicazione, un approdo, un luogo d’incontro e quasi una piazza cittadina sull’acqua.
Sullo sfondo appare il tessuto compatto della Cherso storica, con le sue case, i palazzi e i caratteristici tetti rossi; dietro la città si innalza il paesaggio collinare dell’isola. La cartolina conserva quindi un intero ambiente urbano: l’albergo, il mandracchio, le imbarcazioni, i viaggiatori, le antiche case e le colline sullo sfondo.
È interessante anche il nome Fontego. Il termine veneziano indicava un edificio adibito a deposito e commercio, dove le merci venivano conservate e dove i mercanti potevano svolgere le proprie attività. Il Fontego di Cherso rappresenta quindi una trasformazione particolarmente significativa: da granaio pubblico di epoca veneziana, attraverso diverse funzioni pubbliche, a hotel e ristorante destinato ai viaggiatori e ai primi turisti.
L’Hotel Fontego non era dunque un albergo isolato dal resto della città. La sua posizione sul mandracchio lo rendeva parte integrante della vita urbana. Un viaggiatore che fosse arrivato a Cherso in nave all’inizio del XX secolo si sarebbe trovato immediatamente immerso nell’atmosfera della città: davanti a lui c’erano il porto, il centro storico e l’hotel.
Per questo motivo questa vecchia cartolina non rappresenta soltanto un albergo. È un piccolo documento della nascita del turismo moderno a Cherso, ma anche della trasformazione della città da tradizionale centro marittimo a nuova destinazione turistica.
L’Hotel Fontego sarebbe in seguito diventato noto come Hotel Cres, ma questa antica cartolina conserva il momento in cui portava ancora il suo storico nome e quando, davanti alle sue porte, la secolare tradizione marittima di Cherso incontrava il nuovo mondo del turismo.

Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

The Super Ikontas:
The Zeiss Ikon Ikonta cameras have been produced since 1929 and were offered in four model lines (A, B, C, and D) with different negative formats (4,5 x 6, 6 x 6, 6 x 9, and 6,5 x 11 cm). The Super Ikonta production line started not until 1934 with the Super Ikonta A (530) for 4,5 x 6 cm negatives. Basically, Ikonta variants which included a coupled rangefinder were named Super Ikonta. Like Agfa folders, Zeiss Ikontas were fitted with a wide range of lenses and shutters and the cameras were priced accordingly (the buyer could determine which combination was ordered). The post-war shutters usually have flash synchronisation. The lenses produced after the WW II were coated, which reduces light reflections between the lens elements, avoids lens flare and increases the contrast.
The Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta I B (532/16) was produced from 1937 to 1955 by the German Zeiss Ikon company. It was also sold under the name Super Ikonta I 6x6 cm. The original Super Ikonta B featured an uncoated f/2.8 Tessar produced by Carl Zeiss Jena. This camera is fitted with a coated f/2.8 80 mm Tessar produced in the post-war Zeiss plant in Oberkochen (Zeiss-Opton) in West-Germany. The lens of the pre-war cameras was set in a Compur-Rapid shutter and the post-war cameras had either a Copur-Rapid or a Synchro-Compur shutter. Like all Super Ikontas, the camera is equipped with a coupled rangefinder. In contrast to its predecessor (530/16), the 532/16 model unified the rangefinder and the viewfinder into one larger window.
The automated film transport stop and frame counting mechanism taken over from the first Super Ikonta B (530/16) makes the camera faster in use. The red window in the camera back is only needed for lining up the first shot. Like its predecessor, the 532/16 model takes 11 (instead of the standard 12) 6x6 cm images on 120 type rollfilm. The unusual number of frames is caused by a design change during the time of production of the 530/16 model to encounter frame overlapping problems. The production process before and after the war was somewhat complex:
“The camera bodies and bellows were produced in Stuttgart, shutters were ordered from Friedrich Deckel in Munich and shipped to Carl Zeiss Jena, who mounted the lens into the shutters. Then the lens and shutter assembly was shipped to Stuttgart for mounting to the body. Rangefinder components were manufactured in the Ernemann plant in Dresden before the war, and shipped to Stuttgart for acceptance testing and assembly into the cameras. After the war the rangefinder components were outsourced to Rodenstock”. Source: camera-wiki.org/wiki/Super_Ikonta_532/16
This camera:
According to its serial number starting with "Q", the body of this camera was produced between 1943 and 1944: camera-wiki.org/wiki/Zeiss_Ikon_serial_numbers According to the serial number of the lens, this Tessar was produced between 1951 and 1953, presumably already 1951 (see low range number): camera-wiki.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss_serial_numbers
Obviously, this camera combines a pre-war body on storage fitted with a post-war lens. According to the serial number listing of Bernd Otto, the camera was mounted between 1949 and 1951. This corresponds to the beginning of implementing flash-synchronized shutters in 1948/49, the period of the availability of Tessars engraved "Zeiss Opton" (1949-1953), and the shift from Compur Rapid to Synchro Compur shutters around 1952 (see Bernd K. Otto: Die Entwicklung der Ikonta/Super Ikonta (2), Photo Deal Vol. 47 IV, October-December 2004, page 35; Larry Gubas: The Super Ikontas, Zeiss Historica Vol. 4, Nr. 2, Autumn 1982; Ivor Matanle: Super Ikonta, Amateur Photographer, 29 May 2010, page 61-63).
As usual for cameras of this age, the longer shutter speeds (> 1/10 sec) are delayed as a result of gumming. Also, the small lever at the lens (bottom right) for tripping the shutter does not swing back automatically after release. Obviously, the little spring for this function has weakened and the lever has to be moved by hand each time before cocking the shutter. Otherwise, the shutter cocking lever at the top of the lens will not catch but move back and expose the negative accidentally. Actually, the camera has to get a CLA and a shutter repair by a professional camera service but can absolutely be used with these limitations.
Fortunately, the Zeiss-Opton Tessar of this camera does not suffer from the dreaded "Tessar disease". According to the renowned folder expert Jurgen Kreckel (certo6.com/), one in three Zeiss-Opton Tessars have this malady. During the early years (1950-1953) of the West-German Zeiss company in Oberkochen, specific Tessar lens elements were fixed with glue, which is not stable over time and looks like lens separation. Particularly, the middle lens element is in danger of becoming out of axis preventing uniform focusing across the film area. In contrast, the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessars still were set differently and do not suffer from this disease.
Meanwhile, this camera has been repaired and CLAd by the well-known folder expert Jurgen Kreckel (certo6.com/). Jurgen did a great job: the camera is working like new. The contact with him is always very pleasing. He did the job rapidly and for a very fair price. The photographers using vintage folders (rather than collecting them) can be thankful for his excellent service!

The 1779 Sullivan Expedition, also known as the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition, or Sullivan Campaign was an extended systematic military campaign during the American Revolutionary War against Loyalists ("Tories") and the four Nations of the Haudenosaunee which had sided with the British. It has been described by some historians as a genocide due to the magnitude and totality of its violence towards and destruction of the Haudenosaunee.
The campaign ordered and organized by George Washington and his staff was conducted chiefly in the lands of the Iroquois Confederacy (also known as the Longhouse Confederacy) "taking the war home to the enemy to break their morale", and the expedition was largely successful in that goal as they destroyed more than 40 Iroquois villages and stores of winter crops, breaking the power of the six nations in New York all the way to the Great Lakes, as the terrified Indian families relocated to Canada seeking protection of the British. Today this area is the heartland of Upstate New York, and with the military power of the Iroquois vanquished, the events also opened up the vast Ohio Country, the Great Lakes regions, Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky to post-war settlements.
Led by Major General John Sullivan and Brigadier General James Clinton, the expedition was conducted during the summer of 1779, beginning June 18 when the army marched from Easton, Pennsylvania, to October 3 when it abandoned Fort Sullivan, built at Tioga, to return to George Washington's main camp in New Jersey. While the campaign had only one major battle, at Newtown (since the tribes evacuated ahead of the large military force) along the Chemung River in western New York, the expedition severely damaged the Iroquois nations' economies by burning their crops, villages, and chattels, thus ruining the Iroquois technological infrastructure. With the Native Americans' shelter gone and food supplies destroyed, thereafter the strength of the Iroquois Confederacy was broken. The death toll from exposure and starvation dwarfed the casualties received in the Battle of Newtown, in which about 1,000 Iroquois and Loyalists were decisively defeated by an army of 3,200 Continental soldiers.
Sullivan's army carried out a scorched earth campaign, methodically destroying at least forty Iroquois villages throughout the Finger Lakes region of western New York, to put an end to Iroquois and Loyalist attacks against American settlements as had occurred the previous year of 1778, such as the Cobleskill, Wyoming Valley and Cherry Valley massacres. The survivors fled to British regions in Canada and the Niagara Falls and Buffalo areas. The devastation created great hardships for the thousands of Iroquois refugees who fled the region to shelter under British military protection outside Fort Niagara that winter, and many starved or froze to death, despite strenuous attempts by the British authorities to import food and provide shelter via their limited resources.
The Sullivan Expedition devastated the Iroquois crops and towns and left them dependent upon the mercy of the British for the harsh winter of 1779. With the Iroquois population decimated by disease and battle, the Indian morale never fully recovered, and the Iroquois thereafter mostly limited their incursions into the new United States to isolated hunting parties, the main populations having permanently migrated north of the border.
When the American Revolutionary War began, British officials as well as the colonial Continental Congress sought the allegiance (or at least the neutrality) of the influential Iroquois Confederacy. The Six Nations divided over what course to pursue. Most Mohawks, Cayugas, Onondagas, and Senecas chose to ally themselves with the British. But the Oneidas and Tuscaroras, thanks in part to the influence of Presbyterian missionary Samuel Kirkland, joined the American revolutionaries. For the Iroquois, the American Revolution became a civil war.
The Iroquois homeland lay on the frontier between the Province of Quebec and the provinces of New York and Pennsylvania. After a British army surrendered after the Battles of Saratoga in upstate New York in 1777, Loyalists and their Iroquois allies raided American Patriot settlements in the region, as well as the villages of American-allied Iroquois. Working out of Fort Niagara, men such as Loyalist commander Colonel John Butler, Sayenqueraghta, Mohawk military leader Joseph Brant, and Seneca chief Cornplanter led the British-Indian raids. Commander-in-chief General George Washington never allocated more than minimal Continental Army troops for the defense of the frontier and he told the frontier settlements to use local militia for their own defense.
On June 10, 1778, the Board of War of the Continental Congress concluded that a major Indian war was in the offing. Since a defensive war would prove to be inadequate the board called for a major expedition of 3,000 men against Fort Detroit and a similar thrust into Seneca country to punish the Iroquois. Congress designated Major General Horatio Gates to lead the campaign and appropriated funds for the campaign. In spite of these plans, the expedition did not occur until the following year.
On July 3, 1778, Loyalist commander Colonel Butler led his Rangers accompanied by a force of Senecas and Cayugas (led by Sayenqueraghta) in an attack on Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley (a rebel granary and settlement along the Susquehanna River near Wilkes-Barre), practically annihilating 360 armed Patriot defenders lured out of their defenses at Forty Fort.
In September 1778, revenge for the Wyoming defeat was taken by American Colonel Thomas Hartley who, with 200 soldiers, burned nine to twelve Seneca, Delaware and Mingo villages along the Susquehanna River in northeast Pennsylvania, including Tioga and Chemung. At the same time, Butler's Rangers attacked German Flatts in the Mohawk Valley, destroying all the houses and fields in the area. Further American retaliation was soon taken by Continental Army units under William Butler (no relation to John Butler) and John Cantine, burning the substantial Indian villages at Unadilla and Onaquaga on the Susquehanna River.
On November 11, 1778, Loyalist Captain Walter Butler (the son of John Butler) led two companies of Butler's Rangers along with about 320 Iroquois led by Cornplanter, including 30 Mohawks led by Joseph Brant, on an assault at Cherry Valley in New York. While the fort was surrounded, Indians began to massacre civilians in the village, killing and scalping 16 soldiers and 32 civilians, mostly women and children, and taking 80 captive, half of whom were never returned. In vain, Brant, who was blamed for the attack, actually tried to stop the rampage. The town was plundered and destroyed.
The Cherry Valley Massacre convinced the American colonists that they needed to take action. In April 1779, American Colonel Van Schaick led an expedition of over 500 soldiers against the Onondaga, destroying several villages. When the British began to concentrate their military efforts on the southern colonies in 1779, Washington used the opportunity to launch a larger planned offensive towards Fort Niagara. His initial impulse was to assign the expedition to Major General Charles Lee, but he, Major General Philip Schuyler, and Major General Israel Putnam were all disregarded for various reasons. Washington first offered command of the expedition to Horatio Gates, the "Hero of Saratoga," but Gates turned down the offer, ostensibly for health reasons. Major General John Sullivan, fifth on the seniority list, was offered command on March 6, 1779, and accepted. Washington's orders to Sullivan made it clear that he wanted the Iroquois threat completely eliminated:
Orders of George Washington to General John Sullivan, at Head-Quarters (Wallace House, New Jersey) May 31, 1779
The Expedition you are appointed to command is to be directed against the hostile tribes of the Six Nations of Indians, with their associates and adherents. The immediate objects are the total destruction and devastation of their settlements, and the capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex as possible. It will be essential to ruin their crops now in the ground and prevent their planting more.
I would recommend, that some post in the center of the Indian Country, should be occupied with all expedition, with a sufficient quantity of provisions whence parties should be detached to lay waste all the settlements around, with instructions to do it in the most effectual manner, that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed.
But you will not by any means listen to any overture of peace before the total ruinment of their settlements is effected. Our future security will be in their inability to injure us and in the terror with which the severity of the chastisement they receive will inspire them.[5]
Washington instructed Gen. Sullivan and three brigades to march from Easton, Pennsylvania to the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania and to follow the river upstream to Tioga, now known as Athens, Pennsylvania. He ordered Gen. James Clinton to assemble a fourth brigade at Schenectady, New York, move westward up the Mohawk River Valley to Canajoharie, and cross overland to Otsego Lake as a staging point. When Sullivan so ordered, Clinton's New York Brigade was to march down the Susquehanna to meet Sullivan at Tioga, destroying all Indian villages on his route. Sullivan's army was to have totaled 15 regiments and 5,000 men, but his Pennsylvania brigade entered the campaign more than 750 men short, and promised enlistments never materialized. In addition, the third regiment of the brigade, the German Battalion, had shrunk by casualties, sickness, and desertion (the three-year term of enlistment of its soldiers had expired on June 27) to only 100 men, and was parceled out in 25-man companies as flank protection for the expedition. Armand's Legion was recalled by Washington to the Main Army before the campaign began. Because of these and other shortages, Sullivan's army, including two companies of local militia totaling only 70 men, never exceeded 4,000 troops.
The main army left Easton on June 18, marching 58 miles to an encampment on the Bullock farm in the Wyoming Valley, which it reached on June 23. There they awaited provisions and supplies that had not been sent forward, remaining in the Wyoming Valley until July 31. The army marched slowly, paced by both the mountainous terrain and the flatboats carrying the army's supplies up the Susquehanna, and arrived at Tioga on August 11. They began construction of a temporary fort at the confluence of the Chemung and Susquehanna Rivers they called Fort Sullivan.
Sullivan sent one of his guides, Lt. John Jenkins, who had been captured while surveying the area in November 1777, with a scouting party to reconnoiter Chemung. He reported that the village was active and unaware of his presence. Sullivan marched the greater part of the army all night over two high defiles and attacked out of a thick fog just after dawn only to find the town deserted. Brig. Gen. Edward Hand reported a small force fleeing towards Newtown and received permission to pursue. Despite flankers, he had gone only a mile when his advance guard was ambushed with six dead and nine wounded. The entire brigade assaulted but the ambushers escaped with minimal if any casualties. Sullivan's men spent the day burning the town and destroyed all of its grain and vegetable crops. During the afternoon the 1st New Hampshire Regiment of Poor's brigade was fired on, either from ambush or possibly by fire from other troops, inflicting another soldier killed and five wounded. Ambushes also occurred on August 15 and August 17, with combined casualties of two killed and two wounded. On August 23, the accidental discharge of a rifle in camp resulted in one captain killed and one man wounded.
After two-weeks' portage of supplies, Clinton's brigade set up camp on June 30 at the south end of Otsego Lake (now Cooperstown, New York), where he waited for orders that did not arrive until August 6. The next day he began his destructive march of 154 miles (248 km) to Tioga along the upper Susquehanna, taking all of his supplies with him in 250 bateaux. The actions at Chemung made Sullivan suspicious that the Iroquois might be trying to defeat in detail his split forces, and the next day he sent 1,084 picked men under Brig. Gen. Enoch Poor north to locate Clinton and escort him to Fort Sullivan. The entire army assembled on August 22.
On August 26, the combined army of approximately 3,200 men and 250 pack horse teamsters left Fort Sullivan, garrisoned by 300 troops taken from across the army and left behind under Col. Israel Shreve of the 2nd New Jersey Regiment. Marching slowly north into the Six Nations territory in central western New York, the campaign had only one major battle, the Battle of Newtown, fought on August 29. It was a complete victory for the Continental Army. Later a 25-man detachment of the Continental Army was ambushed, and all but five captured and killed at the Boyd and Parker ambush. On September 1 Captain John Combs died of an illness.
Sullivan's forces reached their deepest penetration at the Seneca town of Chenussio (also called Little Beard's town, Beardstown, Chinefee, Genesee, and Geneseo), near the present Cuylerville, New York, on September 15, inflicting total destruction on the Iroquois villages before returning to Fort Sullivan at the end of the month. Three days later the army abandoned the fort to return to Morristown, New Jersey, and go into winter quarters. By Sullivan's account, forty Iroquois villages were destroyed, including Catherine's Town, Goiogouen, Chonodote, and Kanadaseaga, along with all the crops and orchards of the Iroquois.
Appointed the British governor of Quebec in 1778, Frederick Haldimand, while kept informed of Sullivan's invasion by Butler and Fort Niagara, did not supply sufficient troops for his Iroquois allies' defense. Late in September, he dispatched a force of about 600 Loyalists and Iroquois, but by then the expedition had successfully ended.
Further west, a concurrent expedition was undertaken by Colonel Daniel Brodhead. Brodhead left Fort Pitt on August 14, 1779, with a contingent of 600 men, regulars of his 8th Pennsylvania Regiment and militia, marching up the Allegheny River into the Seneca and Munsee country of northwestern Pennsylvania and southwestern New York. Since most native warriors were away to confront Sullivan's army, Brodhead met little resistance and destroyed about 10 villages, including Conewango. Although initial plans called for Brodhead to eventually link up with Sullivan at Chenussio for an attack against Fort Niagara, Brodhead turned back after destroying villages near modern-day Salamanca, New York, never linking up with the main force. Washington's letters indicate that the cross-country trek east to the Finger Lakes region was considered too dangerous, limiting this smaller expedition to a raid north.
The final operation of the campaign occurred September 27. Sullivan sent a portion of Clinton's brigade directly back to winter quarters by way of Fort Stanwix, under Colonel Peter Gansevoort of the 3rd New York Regiment. Two days after leaving Stanwix, near their origination point of Schenectady, the detachment stopped at Teantontalago, the "Lower Mohawk Castle" (also known as Thienderego, Tionondorage and Tiononderoga) and carried out orders to arrest every male Mohawk. Gansevoort wrote "It is remarked that the Indians live much better than most of the Mohawk River farmers, their houses [being] very well furnished with all [the] necessary household utensils, great plenty of grain, several horses, cows, and wagons". The male population was incarcerated at Albany until 1780 and then released.
The action dispossessed the Mohawks of their homes. Local white settlers, homeless after Iroquois raids, asked Gansevoort to turn the homes over to them. Both actions were criticized by Philip Schuyler, then a New York representative to the Continental Congress, because all the Mohawks of Lower Mohawk castle had rejected fighting with the British, and many supported the Patriot cause. Ironically, Schuyler had been Washington's personal preference for command of the expedition, but his relief of command of the Continental Army's Northern Department had led to private service with the army until he could resign his commission, which he did in April 1779.
Exhausted from carrying heavy military equipment, Sullivan's horses reached the end of their endurance on their return route home. Just north of Elmira, New York, Sullivan euthanized his pack horses. A few years later, the skulls of these horses were lined along the trail as a warning to settlers. The area became known as "the Valley of Horses Heads" and is now known as the village and town of Horseheads, New York.
Sullivan, whose illness had slowed the expedition at times, resigned his commission in 1780 when his health continued to worsen.
More than 5,000 Iroquois refugees went to Canada (modern Ontario) for the British to feed. A report from 1778 by John Butler on the Haudenosaunee: "The Indians in this part of the Country are so ill off for Provisions that many have nothing to subsist upon but the roots and greens they gather in the woods" in May, 1778 – i.e., before the expedition. Fearing attack, many Tuscarora and Oneida defected to the British cause. The British granted the Indians 675,000 acres of land in Canada. About 1450 Iroquois and 400 allies lived at one new reserve at Grand River.
In February 1780, retired General Schuyler, now in the Congress, sent a party of pro-rebellion Indians to Fort Niagara to appeal for peace with the British-allied Iroquois. Suspecting a trick by Schuyler, those Iroquois rejected the proposal. The four messengers were imprisoned where one of them died.
Despite widespread dispersion, Washington was disappointed by the lack of a decisive battle and the failure to capture Fort Niagara. Although in truth, Washington's guidance to Sullivan had been that he take Ft Niagara, "if possible," an option not easily within Sullivan's means given the limitations of his artillery (no guns bigger than six inch field howitzers) and his logistics. Iroquois warriors and Loyalists continued to periodically raid the Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys during 1780 and 1781, causing widespread devastation of property and crops, and killing more than 200 settlers. The destruction of Minden on August 2, 1780 was the most destructive raid of property in the course of the four-year civil war. The last significant raid devastated a 20-mile swath of the lower Mohawk Valley in October 1781, but was defeated at the Battle of Johnstown on October 25, 1781. Walter Butler was killed in battle on October 30 at West Canada Creek during the Tory retreat.
The homelands and infrastructure of Iroquois life had been devastated by the campaign. In the long term, it became clear that the expedition broke the Iroquois Confederacy's power to maintain their former crops and utilize many town locations; the expedition appeared to have caused little more than famine and dispersion of the Iroquois people.
Following the war much of the Iroquois land was secured by the United States government in the peace Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784) agreed to by the six nations of the Iroquois League. This land was later absorbed by treaties with the State of New York.
Much of the native population of these lands would move to Canada, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. In the wake of the Treaty of Paris (1783), European-Americans began settling the newly vacant areas in relative safety, eventually isolating the remaining pockets of demoralized Iroquois into villages and towns cut off under land treaties with New York State (Wikipedia).

The trail to Angels Landing offers drop dead, gorgeous views of Zion National Park's valley, thousands of feet below. In late October, the colors of autumn creep thru this magical place while the Virgin River, just a trickle at this time of year, winds its way thru the park. The hike to Angels Landing, while quite strenuous, and not for the faint hearted, is one of the most breathtaking experiences I've found in any of our country's national parks. I can't recommend it enough to anyone who enjoys a challenge with potentially great rewards. Late October is the ideal time to enjoy cool weather, light crowds and spectacular colors throughout the park.

Ocean Terminal offers a great opportunity to observe different bus stock and it's a quiet and safe place to take photographs. I have always felt this to be one of my favourite locations for bus photography.
Working on Service 22 Volvo B7TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini, number 721 (SN55 BLX) is in the company of Omni City Scania number 988 (SN57 DBO).
This small group of Polish buses were for a time the only buses Lothian had that were not made in Great Britain and the photograph provides a chance to compare two designs. Note how immaculate both of these vehicles are.
First letter reads: T. Proctor Hall / M.A., PH.D., M.D. / 1801 Davie Street / Vancouver, Canada - Sunday, Dec. 19, 1920 - Dear Vic, I have written the Abbott Alk. Co. to send to your address a few bottles of medicine and two gross empty bottles. The value of the empty bottles and corks is about $3; and of the medicines an average of $1.25 per bottle. Technically they are all called "pills". Take all the wrappers of the medicines, and they will not take much room among your things. Mrs Cook was buried yesterday. Mrs Cartwright was at the funeral and returns to Seattle tomorrow. We are expecting you Friday morning. If you have a lot of books it is better to pack them in a separate box and, if you have accepted a position in U.S., store them with dome delivery Co. until your return, when they can be sent directly to the Station. Au revoir, ma chere fille, (Goodbye my dear daughter) - signed T. P. Hall

Second letter reads: T. Proctor Hall / M.A., PH.D., M.D. / 1801 Davie Street / Vancouver, Canada - Tuesday night (21 December 1920) - Dear Vio, I have just seen Mr. Dougan at the Child - welfare meeting. He today got word from Nanaimo that they depend on him for two teachers; one in Drawing, Algebra and French. But he knows there is a teacher there who is well up in French, and there would probably be little trouble in adjusting to work among the six teachers. The salary is $1900. I told him we would all like it better to have you nearer home; and to wire Nanaimo whether your services would be acceptable. If so, he will wire you by Wed. night. (page 2) If this position is offered you to at once (or telephone, if it is late) to the man who got you the Idaho position; tell him the conditions and ask him to wire Idaho (at your expense) requesting a release, because offered a much better salary near home. In such cases it is usually easy to find a substitute, and the request is very seldom refused. Stay another day in Seattle, if necessary, to get things cleared up. Of course if Mr. Dougan's offer is not definite and positive no action need be taken. But if it is, act promptly. T. P. Hall (her father)
Clipped from - Times Colonist newspaper - Victoria, British Columbia, Canada - 25 March 1931 - DR. THOMAS PROCTOR HALL OF VANCOUVER DIED TO-DAY - Brother of Dr. Ernest Hall, Victoria Physician, Succumbs in Terminal City - Dr. Thomas Proctor Hall, seventy-two, physician, scientist and educationist, died at 4 o'clock this morning at the family residence, Crown Crescent, Vancouver, following an illness from heart disease, it was learned here to-day. He was a brother of Dr. Ernest Hall, well-known Victoria physician, and practiced here for a short period many years ago. Dr. Hall, who had resided in Vancouver for the last twenty-six years, had patented literally dozens of inventions and had made many scientific discoveries for which he had not taken out patents. They ranged from a system of reproducing the human voice almost a quarter of a century ago, to taking the flicker out of the early type motion pictures, an automatic stop for gramophones and a model for demonstrating the theory of the fourth dimension. Of unusual ability, he was a specialist In physical science and In mathematics as well as his chosen profession of medicine. Of so retiring and modest a disposition was he, however, than even many of his close friends were unaware of all his talents. With the exception of a new type of therapeutic lamp, his inventions have never been placed on the market. Dr. Hall, among his other scientific investigations, had done a great deal of research work in connection with X-ray. Besides the degrees of B.A.. M.A. and M.D. he was entitled to carry after his name, he had been awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, both by Clark University and the Illinois Wesleyan University. He was an honor graduate of the University of Toronto, McMaster University, Toronto, and the National Medical University in Chicago. FOURTH DIMENSION MODEL - Forty years ago he left at Clark University, a model to demonstrate the theory of the fourth dimension. From 1883 to 1884 Dr. Hall was a fellow of Toronto University. For the following five years he was science master at Woodstock College, Ontario. His teaching record was a varied one, including also professorships in natural science at Tabor College, Iowa; physics, Kansas City University; physics and chemistry, National-Medical University, Chicago, and electro-physics, Chicago College of X-ray and Electro-therapy. LEAVES RELATIVES Dr. Vernon K. Hall, his son, practices medicine in Vancouver. Two daughters. Miss A. Violet Hall and Miss Unina S. Hall, reside in Vancouver. Mrs. R. E. Taylor, Mrs. I. Brodigan and Miss Mildred McManus, nieces of the late Dr. Hall, made their home with him for many years. Besides Dr. Ernest Hall, another brother, John Hall, resides in Denver and a nephew. Kenneth McManus, lives in San Francisco. Dr. Ernest Hall left Victoria this afternoon to attend the funeral.
