New York City (NYC), often called the City of New York or simply New York (NY), is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2018 population of 8,398,748 distributed over about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the U.S. state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With almost 20 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and approximately 23 million in its combined statistical area, it is one of the world's most populous megacities. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, significantly influencing commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City is composed of five boroughs, each of which is a county of the State of New York. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world as of 2016. As of 2019, the New York metropolitan area is estimated to produce a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $2.0 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world. New York is home to the highest number of billionaires of any city in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York was the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790, and has been the largest U.S. city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the U.S. by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a symbol of the U.S. and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity. In 2019, New York was voted the greatest city in the world per a survey of over 30,000 people from 48 cities worldwide, citing its cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, including three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. A record 62.8 million tourists visited New York City in 2017. Times Square is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Many of the city's landmarks, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. New York is home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, with multiple distinct Chinatowns across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service and contributing to the nickname The City that Never Sleeps, the New York City Subway is the largest single-operator rapid transit system worldwide, with 472 rail stations. The city has over 120 colleges and universities, including Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller University, and the City University of New York system, which is the largest urban public university system in the United States. Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, namely the New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, and NASDAQ, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.
Where is a fisheye when you need one? It was impossible to capture all the narrow bends of the San Juan River... neither was it very colorful... but still quite impressive!
This was just there, on the grass, during the golden hour of a nice summer day.

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 park covers an area of over 71,000 acres (287 km2) of varied terrain including rolling prairie grasslands and rugged mountains.
The park is home to a herd of 1,500 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 known 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.

"Jaune Quick-To-See Smith has painted several maps of the United States to show how the land already occupied by ancient native communities was colonized by European settlers. Here, she included names of states that derive from Native American words, such as Wyoming, from a Delaware Indian word that means 'mountains and valleys alternating,' and Kansas, from a Sioux word meaning 'people of the south wind.' Smith is a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Nation in Montana and works to raise recognition of Native American art and peoples. State Names expresses her anger that the country’s lands were divided without regard for existing tribal territories." (source)

The State theater is in a sad state. It used to be a fun place (or so I am told I not old) But now the building has deaerated into the state it is in now. I have heard of a local group trying to save it but until then the state will stay in the state it is in now.

Northern State Hospital for the Insane is an interesting place, if only one could visit the entire campus. What is open to the public is the old food processing facilities and the dairy farm. It's a novel concept these days, a self sustaining facility for the imprisoned but here it was back in the day.
Looking southwest at the main (north) entrance to Montana Hall on the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.
Montana State University was created after Bozeman lost a four-way race to be the capital of Montana. As a consolation, the state legislature agreed to found an agricultural college in the city. Local rancher and businessman Nelson C. Story owned the land on which the state capital would have been built, and he donated this land to the state to serve as the university's campus.
Montana Hall was the second building to be constructed on the campus (the first was the Agricultural Experiment Station, now known as Taylor Hall). John C. Paulsen, State Architect, designed the structure in the Old English vernacular style. The cornerstone was laid on October 21, 1896. The structure was built with compressed red brick and sandstone trim. it is 90 feet long and 28 feet wide, and has four stories and a full basement. The stone foundations are two feet thick, and half exposed above-ground. Interior walls were reinforced with 2-by-4s. The first floor's exterior walls are 20 inches thick, while the second and third floor's exterior walls are 16 inches thick. Interior walls are brick, and are 12 inches thick in the basement and first floor, 8 inches thick on the second floor, and 4 inches thick on the third floor. The main entrance is on the north side, and consists of two, eight-foot-tall oak doors set in a brick arch and capped by a fanlight. Single-panel oak doors permit access on the east and west sides. (The east entrance was obliterated by a subsequent addition.) The steeply pitched (66 degrees) roof is gabled, and sports a brick chimney.
Nine stone steps lead up to the main entrance. The president's office was original in the room east of the vestibule. It featured a marble fireplace. An administrative office occupied the room to the west of the vestibule. In an office in the northeast corner of the building were more administrative offices, while in the northwest corner was the registrar's office and bookstore. Three large classrooms occupied the length of the south side of the first floor. Nine wooden steps led to the second floor. A hallway running the length of the building gave access to the east and west stairways, which in turn provided access to the basement and third floors.
The library, more offices, and more classrooms occupied the second floor. The auditorium, accessed by the west stairs, occupied 75 percent of the third floor. It was 68 feet wide and 31 feet deep, and flanked on the north and south by small meeting rooms. By 1921, a raised platform was built on the east side, reached by five risers. Behind the platform were five risers leading down to a hallway. The hallway was flanked by large rooms on the north and south, and led to the east stairs. The basement housed more classrooms and offices.
All the internal staircases were wood with oak railings and balustrades. The floors were hardwood, with tile in the vestibule. Walls were plaster over brick, although the vestibule was unplastered decorative brick. Interior doors were oak set in wood frames, and moldings were carved wood.
The structure was electrified from its construction. Electricity was supplied by an experimental generator in the basement. Originally, warm air was circulated throughout the building via flues and a fireplace in the basement. This proved unworkable, however, and steam radiators were installed in the early 1920s.
It was known as Main Building until it was renamed Montana Hall in 1914. When completed in April 1898, Main Hall housed an auditorium (in the upper floor's loft space) that sat 600, a library, and classrooms and offices for the departments of art, business, domestic science, English, mathematics, mechanical drawing, and modern languages. In the ensuing years, a two-story fireproof vault was added to the southwest corner of the building to house registrar records.
In the 1920s, a curved, unpaved drive led up the hill on the north side of Montana Hall to allow vehicular access. Dusty in the summer and so slick with snow and ice it was not navigable in winter, President Roland Renne had it removed in 1943. (It was one of his first acts as president of the college.) The Montana State Architect subsequently created a plan that turned Garfield Avenue to the south of the building into the main avenue through the campus and the main approach to Montana Hall. The area north of the building became a grassy lawn. The west entrance now because the hall's main entrance.
Some time in the 1920s or 1930s, a "temporary" one-story wood frame structure was built on the east side of Montana Hall to provide much-needed office space. This structure rendered the east entrance and east stairs unusable.
Montana Hall has played a significant role at MSU. It acts as the center of campus, and its distinctive silhouette is recognized as the symbol of the university. In 1915, engineering students used the steeple of Montana Hall to survey nearby Mount Baldy and position the gigantic white “M” in the the Bridger Mountains. Following Bozeman's terrible 1927 earthquake, the cupola was removed. (Legend has it that rambunctious students took a cow to the upper floors, and found that the cow would not go down stairs afterwards. So the cupola was removed and the cow lowered to the ground. This is apocryphal.) During the 1993 centennial of Montana State University, a new cupola was installed along with chimes which ran on the hour. A new roof was put on the structure in 2007.
Montana Hall underwent a restoration in 2011. All window panes were replaced with energy-efficient ones. The exterior brick was cleaned of lichen and dirt, mortar repointed, and lead seals applied to vertical brick joints to prevent future water damage.
However, a 2001 engineering study showed that Montana Hall needs at least $21.5 million in major repair. Among these are significant repairs to walls, floors, and other interior fixtures; upgrades to the electrical, HVAC, mechanical, and plumbing systems; adaptive renovations to enhance the lifespan of the building; fix life-threatening safety issues; serious structural repairs to fix sagging walls and floors; bringing the structure up to current building codes; and make it ADA-complaint. (ADA fixes alone would cost $1.5 million.) A $600,000 fire suppression system is also badly needed.
As of 2013, Montana Hall houses the President's Office, Registrar's Office, Student Accounts, and other administrative offices.
