My son helped me with this shot. I was trying to capture the smoke coming out of a Black Powder Hawkin Rifle.
This building is a reconstruction of the Powder Magazine that once stood on the Fort Scott grounds.
View from inside the Fort Scott Powder Magazine. The domed ceiling was more than just decoration. Designed as the weakest part of the structure, the roof would allow an explosion's force to project upwards and allow not only the thick walls, but the people around it, to remain standing.

Sloping hills covered in sage bushes make up the land around the Powder River.
The Powder River is located in northeastern Oregon and is a tributary of the Snake River. It flows almost entirely within Baker County, but downstream of the city of North Powder, it becomes part of the border between Baker County and Union County. This 11.7-mile (18.8 km) stretch of the Powder River is classified as ‘wild’ and flows through a rugged canyon with geologic formations of spectacular beauty. The fishing is great, as is the hunting, although access is limited. Float boating does occur, but only in the early spring.
Designated Reach:
October 28, 1988. From Thief Valley Dam to the Highway 203 Bridge.
Classification/Mileage:
Scenic — 11.7 miles; Total — 11.7 miles.
Scenic
The Powder River corridor contains a diversity of landforms and vegetation that capture viewers’ attention. It runs through a steep-walled canyon that is 500-feet deep in some locations, which provides a truly remote and primitive feeling. The canyon is semi-desert, and the river provides a riparian contrast. The hillsides host bunchgrasses and sage, with a few riverside Ponderosa pines for diversity.
Recreation
The Power River corridor provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities. The primary activities are fishing; upland game and big game hunting; and geologic, zoologic and scenic sightseeing. Kayaking takes place on the Powder River only during the spring runoff period and should be pursued only by highly skilled floaters.
Fisheries
The Powder River supports a number of species of fish, including rainbow trout (stocked and native), catfish, crappie, dace, redside shiner, brown bullhead and various species of suckers. The Powder is known regionally for its truly outstanding rainbow fisheries. It provides habitat for native spawning rainbows that can grow to record size. The riparian zone and the diversity of life in the river, including plentiful level of insects, crustaceans and baitfish, is truly outstanding and the reason for the health of the trout population.
Wildlife
Wildlife species found within the Powder River corridor are mule deer, badger, yellow-bellied marmot, river otter, chukar, golden eagle, prairie falcon, red-tailed hawk, American kestral, western kingbird and rattlesnake. The river segment includes a portion of a crucial deer wintering range that is occupied by hundreds of mule deer. The steep cliffs provide nesting habitat for a high concentration of raptors, such as golden eagles, prairie falcons and red-tailed hawks. In addition, bald eaglea are found on this river during the winter.
Cultural – Pre-Historic
Long before the arrival of pioneers and settlers, the Cayuse, Umatilla and Nez Perce Indians utilized the hunting and fishing grounds along the length of the Powder River. In this area are archaeological sites which contain important information about the use of local lowland areas during the prehistoric middle archaic period.

Dating from 1475, the Powder Gate was built as one of 13 gates to the city of Prague.The Powder Gate was important to the Bohemian monarchs who would pass through the gate on their way to St. Vitus Cathedral to be crowned.
As the city grew beyond its old walls the Powder Gate grew less and less important . By the 17th century, it was being used as a gunpowder storage facility - it was at this time that the gate developed its current name.
The Powder Gate was designed by master builder Matěj Rejsek to follow the design used by Peter Parler for the Old Town Bridge Tower at the base of Charles Bridge.
Jerome, Arizona.
Powder Box Church located in Jerome, Arizona gets its name from its unique construction. The building was built by Sabino Gonzales in 1939 with stucco, wire mesh and blasting powder boxes. The congregation of the church aided in the building. The church was completed during 1941. The families of the Powder Box Church were Mexican American mining families that were victims of racial prejudice from the Anglo Methodists. The Methodists would not allow the Mexicans to enter their church so Gonzalez built one from wooden blasting powder boxes that had been disassembled. The building is now a residence and only viewable from a distance.
