The Rogers County Historical Society has almost completed the restoration of the Galloway Totem Pole.. It is the largest concrete totem pole in the world at 90 feet tall and 30 feet at the base. Was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999

Un marangone minore sosta su un posatoio per asciugarsi le ali. E' l'ora del tramonto, nella Laguna di Venezia e le acque immobili e speculari ne riflettono l'immagine tra minuti bagliori dorati. Il piccolo predatore di pesci, dunque, si trasforma in un singolare totem, che celebra la vita selvatica in un deserto d'acque ..... ..
The Dragon is the symbol of primordial power. He is the master of all the elements: fire, water, air and earth. As a spiritual guide, it is a powerful ally in our daily lives thanks to its amazing restorative and powerful qualities.
The dragon spirit is drawn to people of intelligence, dignity, contagious enthusiasm, and authority. The dragons guide these people to intelligence and, in fact, to enlightenment. Within this framework, your Dragon Spirit animal teaches you to roar, to find your voice, to be heard and truly understood.
Nelle distese acquatiche aperte della laguna sud di Venezia, le bricole e dunque le palificazioni segnavia, emergono come totem. La loro presenza decora il paesaggio piatto e luminoso, con le scque che nella stagione invernale assumono toni cromatici cobalto. La bellezza dei totem, tuttavia, è accentuata dal fatto che essi si trasformano spesso in posatoi per gabbiani e cormorani. Con il risultato di essere così totem viventi ..... ..
Sie stehen auf dem höchsten Punkt des Ruhrgebiets, einer Halde bei Bottrop - die "Totems" von Agustín Ibarolla. 2002 schuf der baskische Künstler die Installation aus mehr als 100 ausgedienten Eisenbahnschwellen, die er mit Säge und Farbe bearbeitete und dann senkrecht in den Boden einließ. Durch ihre bunte Bemalung bilden sie einen spektakulären Kontrast zum Grau der Halde.
Archaische Skulpturen
Unterhalb des Haldengipfels, zu Füßen der "Totems", wird im Bergwerk Prosper-Haniel noch immer Kohle gefördert. Doch die Industrielandschaft rundum hat sich auf radikale Weise verändert. Ibarollas archaisch anmutende Skulpturen sind ein Sinnbild für den Wandel. Die Eisenbahnschwelle, einst Zeichen für industriellen Fortschritt, für Mobilität und Wachstum, ist gedreht in die Vertikale, das Material vom Zweck befreit.
They stand on the highest point of the Ruhr area, a dump near Bottrop - the "Totems" of Agustin Ibarolla. In 2002, the Basque artist created the installation from more than 100 worn-out railway sleepers, which he worked with saws and paint and then let into the ground vertically. Through their colourful painting, they form a spectacular contrast to the grey of the heap.
Archaic sculptures
Underneath the peak of the pile, at the foot of the "Totems", coal is still mined in the Prosper-Haniel mine. But the industrial landscape around it has changed radically. Ibarolla's archaic-looking sculptures are a symbol of change. The railway threshold, once a sign of industrial progress, of mobility and growth, is turned into the vertical, freeing material from purpose.
Monument Valley, Navajo Tribal Park, Utah, USA.
This spire monument is an example of what erosion does to a butte. They are probably the most photographed monuments in the valley.

James Page a photographer extraordinaire suggested this square crop. I like it! Which do you prefer today's crop or yesterday's photo?
Early light on one of the remarkable formations in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, the heavily eroded Totem Pole. The sand dunes look pristine but a closer look reveals there is indeed plenty of unseen traffic in the desert.

2002 wurde die Installation Totems vom baskischen Maler und Bildhauer Agustín Ibarrola aus über einhundert Eisenbahnschwellen geschaffen. 2007 wurde die auch als Windkamm bezeichnete Installation aufgearbeitet und umgesetzt. Heute stehen die Schwellen am Rande einer sichelförmigen Anhöhe, die auch den höchsten Punkt der Halde und den Windschutz für die Bergarena darstellt.
