A giant peace pipe-holding Indian chief in a feathered headdress sits cross-legged outside a former trading post business in Roosevelt City, Utah. It was built out of cement by Darrell Gardner in 1976, part of a tableau that included a big teepee.
The Moqui Indian Trading Post, which first opened in 1969, went out of business in 2008. A local group rallied to save the statue from destruction; the figure survives. The trading post building is currently a nail salon.
Beyond his attention-getting duties, we don't know if the sculpture was intended as a tribute to a specific Native American chief. The town of Roosevelt City was created by homesteaders on former Ute tribal lands, and the location is currently on Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation lands.

Sometime in 2019 the statue was moved from this location to a new home at the Ute Tribal Plaza in Fort Duchesne. Look in the comments below to see the newly restored Chief sitting in his new home.
A potentially interesting arrangement for a future MOC. It's important to use the 1L bar with towball, and not one with the Technic axle, as the Technic one has a small lip that keeps it from going all the way into the 90 degree pipe, and this throws off the geometry slightly, putting stress on the longer straight section.
Pipe dreams.
I decided to take a break from working on my bike and get my head out of all things mechanical, so i took my motorised car to the base of MT Dandenong, a town called Belgrave. Taken about 9pm in Belgrave at the servo on the corner of the roundabout that sells no more fuel.
Literally THE last shot of the night...looks like photography is a patience game ehy?
Any way here's the boring stuff. No edit, RAW conversion, Taken with Pentax 50mm @ F1.4 Micro four thirds mount 1/50 ISO 200 with Olympus EM-5 OM-D. Lovely!

Indian Pipe (or corpse flower) Monotropa uniflora.
Indian pipe looks like a fungus but it's not. It's a real flowering plant with roots leaves and flowers. (related to blueberries)
It doesn't have any chlorophyll to turn it green so it remains colorless. Also, because it has no chlorophyll, and can't make it's own food, it has to get its nutrients from something else, so it attaches to a certain resident fungus, and leeches off ITS food (which the fungus is in turn leeching from its host tree).

A fine example of Indian Pipe seen in Maywood Park, Colonie, New York, USA on August 18, 2020. I have more commonly seen Indian Pipe in Maine than in my home state of New York. This time, it was a single plant. For some reason, this season, I am seeing many instances of just one plant of a particular kind. Wonder why? Here's some interesting information about the plant--https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/fungus-lichen/indian-pipe-fungus.htm
In recent years, these plants have become more commonly known as Ghost Pipe.
One from my favourite local location earlier this week. I've captured this pipe many times before with my old 50D so thought I'd get back there with the 5D to see how it compares. I love this location as it's so peaceful and gives you time to really think about things in solitude while the tide comes in. I'm jumping between the Edinburgh Fringe street work and seascapes just now - that makes the brain work :-)
Thanks for looking :-)

Streetshot by the hospital. This tough old man, near after his surgery, with tubes and vacuum bottle in the wound, walk out of the hospital, to the nearest place where smoking is aloved. To smoke his pipe.
Cambois, pronounced, (Cam-us) where i come from. The pipe that is quickly and surely falling into the sea, just like the old one next to it. Modern engineering at its worst.Not sure if this pipe actually carries any fluid now, But if it does it will be leaking all over the beach within a few months, if any flickr members know's of any info regarding the contents of this pipe please let me know.
