Viento state park was named from the first two letters of the names of three railroad men, Villard, Endicott, and Tollman. By coincidence, viento in spanish means windy. I would rename it " viento y frio"
BNSF 6215 leads a loaded taconite train weaving between Minnesota and Wisconsin east of Wrenshall on the BNSF Lakes Subdivision at the aptly named location of State Line. Historically speaking, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific had a diamond crossing near this spot on the Minnesota - Wisconsin border with an interlocking tower. As the train comes around the outside of the curve here, the front end is in Minneota while the middle and rear are in Wisconsin.

A marriage of state is a diplomatic marriage or union between two members of different nation-states or internally, between two power blocs, usually in authoritarian societies and is a practice which dates back to ancient times, as far back as early Grecian cultures in western society, and of similar antiquity in other civilizations. A Marriage of State often involved surrendering a female member of a ruling line to gain peace or shore up alliances of state between nation-states headed by small oligarchies or acknowledged royalty. -- Courtesy Wikipedia

Pomponio State Beach (California State Parks):
During my hike late yesterday afternoon along the trail and Gunpowder Falls State Park, I was taking a lot of captures along the river with the 9 Stop ND and stacked on top a thin CPL filter. This allowed for some nice captures in the 6 to 15 second range along the river's edge, and given the leaves were not moving much in the still air worked very well.
Here I was heading deeper into the woods along the trail to get further down the river and liked that sunlight in the trees. I stopped on the trail and composed this shot. Just as I was about to shoot it for 15 seconds, low and behold a breeze kicked in and stirred the leaves. I could have screwed off the 9 stop ND and put the CPL back on ... but is was much easier (being lazy) to adjust the ISO from 100 to 1600 and shorten the shutter to 2 seconds, which was short enough not to show any leaf movement. I also know that the ISO 1600 performance on the 5DMIII sensor would not be an issue.
