Route 1 or Ring Road runs all around the island of Iceland. It's total length is 1,339 km. The complete circle was completed in 1974 to celebrate 1100 year's of settlement on the island. Route 1 is popular with tourists since it passes alot of the countrys natural treasures along the way.
It seems the theme of Pontiac, Illinois is stuck in the past. All of these murals were not there when I was growing up - but old Route 66 was. Pontiac, Illinois is about halfway between Srpingfield, Illinois and Chicago, Illinois
The route of our seaplane down to Filitheyo island resort and our liveaboard cruise on MS Stingray around the Ari atoll.
The Olympic Torch Relay came through town today. Very hot and very crowded, but had a good time! Think I picked the wrong place and the wrong lens!

Built in 1912-13 by the Glacier Park Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway, the Glacier Park Lodge was designed by Samuel L. Bartlett and Louis W. Hill, and was constructed in the Rustic and Swiss Chalet styles to house visitors whom traveled to Glacier National Park via railroad. Based on the Forestry Building at the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, the lobby in the original hotel building, located in the center of the structure, measures 200 feet (61 meters) by 100 feet (30 meters), enclosed by massive Douglas Fir tree trunks, which are still coated in bark thanks to being cut in the winter, and have Ionic-style capitals made of smaller logs. The exterior features more durable Cedar tree trunk columns that support the roof and multi-level porches, and both rustic log and sawn wood balustrades. Due to the popularity of the hotel in its early years, a large annex building, with a heavier influence from the Swiss Chalet style, was built next to the original building in 1914, expanding the number of rooms in the hotel from 61 to 172, and features multi-tier porches with sawn ballustrades. The annex and original hotel were linked with an elevated sun lounge, which connects the lobby to the first floor of the annex building. To the rear of the hotel stands a Chalet, which was constructed alongside the original hotel to house seasonal employees, which has since been supplemented with multiple additional cabins and bunkhouses for employees. The hotel saw the addition of a nine-hole golf course in 1928, the first golf course in the state of Montana, before being sold by the Great Northern Railway in 1960, after which a pool was added and the building was renovated under the private company Glacier Park, Inc. In 1981, the hotel was sold to Dial Corporation, which later spun off Viad Coporation as a separate entity, which remains the operator of the hotel. Open only during the time between mid-May and mid-September, the hotel remains a seasonal operation, and maintains its connection to the nearby East Glacier train station, which is served by Amtrak’s long-distance Empire Builder route. The hotel maintains a 1960s 9-door Checker Aerobus, which is still sometimes used to carry guests and their luggage to and from the nearby East Glacier Train Station. Despite being a historically and architecturally significant structure, the hotel, unlike many of the others built by the Great Northern Railway, is not currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has several building systems and elements on the interior that appear to have not been touched in decades. Today, staying at this hotel features accommodations that are a bit like stepping back in time.
