"Galena Peak rises dramatically out of the upper upper Big Wood River Valley forming an unforgettable backdrop to the Galena Lodge 30 miles north of Ketchum on Idaho 75. It is the northernmost Boulder peak to reach above 11,000 feet and is very popular with back country skiiers as well as scramblers making this one of the more climbed peaks in the region. The south facing portion of the mountain is characterized by a large south-west facing bowl which is commonly swept by massive avalanches in the winter. "

The Senate Staircase isn't far from the more famous West Staircase, and is worth a good look as well. It reminded me of some of the architecture I saw in Portugal for some reason, but that may be because at the very top of this staircase is some very beautiful tile.
I took this photo aiming for the style of Boluddha, who is a fantastic photographer on instagram that everyone should follow!

Sen. Connie N. Johnson Says Removing Governor from Parole Process Will Reduce Prison Overcrowding
Sen. Connie N. Johnson on Thursday testified before a House Interim Study Committee on removing the Governor from the parole process and provided information on the status of the Second Chance Act, which was recently approved with broad bipartisan support by the U.S. House.
The Second Chance Act would authorize $55 million in block grants to assist states in successful offender re-socialization, transition and return to civil society.
“Under the Second Chance Act, Oklahoma is uniquely positioned to begin addressing the problem of a perpetually over-crowded and economically unsustainable prison population,” said Johnson, D-Oklahoma City. “The Act received veto-proof passage in the U.S. House, and is expected to receive the same level of bipartisan support from the U.S. Senate.”

This handsome stained glass window is in the Goldsmiths Reading Room in Senate House, at the heart of the University of London. It was designed by Ervin Bossányi (1891-1979) and unveiled in 1936. Bossányi’s work is to be found all over the world, not least in Canterbury Cathedral, York Minster and Washington National Cathedral.
The words ‘Justitia Virtutum Regina’ translate as ‘Justice is the Queen of Virtues’ – the motto of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, which has been associated with the University since the turn of the 20th century. In 1903 the Company donated more than 30,000 books dealing with the economic sciences, and have made many donations to the present day.
