In 1988 or 1989 I was on the last fishing trip to the Sudbury region in Ontario, Canada. On the way home we all stopped at a Trading Post themed store and I bought this. Another First Nation themed macro. There are even bison nickels riveted to the tooled leather belt. Because of an excess of girth that I'm afflicted with I can't wear this belt any longer. This buckle is around 42mm x 53mm. HMM! Thanks ahead of time for all views, faves and comments.

This impressive peak literally "jumps out" at you when seen as it essentially stands alone, proud and majestic.
"Chief Mountain (Blackfoot: Ninaistako) (9,085 feet (2,769 m)) is located in Montana on the eastern border of Glacier National Park and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The mountain is one of the most prominent peaks and rock formations along the Rocky Mountain Front, a 200 mi (320 km) long overthrust fault, known as the Lewis Overthrust, which extends from central Montana into southern Alberta, Canada.
The peak is easily seen from Montana and Alberta due to the rapid 5,000-foot (1,500 m) altitude gain over the Great Plains which are immediately east of the mountain." Wikipedia
Enjoy a terrific Tuesday!

Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is a state park in Pacific City, Oregon, United States. Cape Kiwanda is on the Three Capes Scenic Route, which includes Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. Hiking to the top of Cape Kiwanda allows views of Nestucca Bay to the south and Cape Lookout to the north.
A sea stack, named Chief Kiawanda Rock (note different spelling than Cape Kiwanda) is located 1⁄2 mile southwest of the cape. It is one of three features along the Oregon Coast that are called "Haystack Rock," though the one in Cannon Beach is more widely known.
The "Pedestal Rock" is on a notorious sandstone bluff at Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, which is fenced off and bordered by signs warning people not to go there. It is extremely dangerous but combating the allure of that perfect picture can be difficult.

"Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping by each year to take in the views. Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the flow over the falls varies, but is usually highest during winter and spring. This is also one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study geology exposed by floods." fs.usda.gov
"The Multnomah people received their name from their chief. Yet, the existence of their great chief named Multnomah has been up for debate. Other Native American tribes in the Columbia River Valley area spoke of him in their oral history, while Oregon historians dismissed him as just a myth. Therefore, there is conflicting evidence of whether or not he was real. However, on top of the oral descriptions of him there were writings including newspapers and journals, which indicate he was indeed real.
Multnomah was chief of tribes ranging much of the Pacific Northwest from Oregon to Canada, and during his 40 years of power he was chief of the Willamettes, as well as war chief of the tribes, ruling from his station on what is known today as Sauvie Island.
Ann Fulton, a history professor at Portland State University, found and collected much of what is known of Chief Multnomah from many written stories. She documented this in her paper The Restoration of an Iłkák'mana: A Chief Called Multnomah. She hoped to bring more awareness to his existence. Particular accounts came from people such as William Tappan and Dr. Elijah White, both agents of Indian tribes. The many verbal and written accounts of Chief Multnomah were similar. He was regarded highly, and many stated that while he was a warrior chief, he was very respected among his people.
It is believed that the end of Chief Multnomah's reign occurred with the eruption of Mount Hood during the 1780s. Later in 1805 when Lewis and Clark reached Sauvie Island they wrote of the “mulknomah” people. This referenced Chief Multnomah, as well as the group of tribes that made up his people." Wikipedia
Enjoy this last Sunday of October!
Getting spooky tomorrow.
I wish I'd spent more time on this operation but it was 30 miles away.....and SOO ran COFC right by my door in Trout Lake so I didn't do the Chief justice. This was late March 1981 as 403 and 2408 empty the Chief at St. Ignace.

The word architect comes from two Greek words "chief" and "creator". When I saw these wonders, I was thinking, why wouldn't we give at least the same credit to the architect of these arches as we do to the architects of manmade wonders?

Summit Chief Mtn, as viewed from Williams Lake. This was taken on the same long ago trip on which we climbed Mt. Daniel, and did a few short hikes from base camps. FYI - That's not our tent, as we didn't camp here. Scan of a 35mm Kodachrome 25 slide.

Custom built Master Chief HALO minifigure.
I bought this customized armor & helmet from a local supplier in Australia, though he does not leave any info regarding who makes these. Can anyone recognize these pieces & maybe let me know who made this cast?
Anyhow, I built the rest of him, added details & painted it.

As of late I've been receiving quite a few requests for photo prints. So, with my wife's "gentle" urging, I've opened up my own little print sales shop on Etsy where this photo is one of the first I posted. If interested, you can find the direct link to this photo here:

...or to my shop homepage here:

I don't have many photos uploaded at this time (getting a little shop like this up and running is much more work than i would have thought) but I will be uploading some future photos as well as going back through my catalog to pluck out some of my "oldies but goodies"
Thanks
The Chief John Ross Bridge (aka the Market Street Bridge) in Chattanooga, Tennessee crosses the Tennessee River and is a Metal Three-Hinged Braced Ribbed Through Arch with a movable Double Leaf Bascule (Rolling Lift) and approach spans consisting of Concrete Closed Spandrel Arches. This bridge is a movable monumental bridge, and it is one of the largest bascule bridges ever built. Even when closed, the bridge still offers considerable clearance for boats. It also is unusual because it is a movable braced ribbed through arch bridge. Most movable bridges feature a truss bridge superstructure or a plate girder superstructure. The bridge also enjoys an incredible amount of local significance as it is the only highway bascule bridge in the entire state, in addition to its high level of national significance for its size and unusual design. Finally, the bridge features impressive a number of large deck arch spans that provide an approach to the structure. This great bridge was built in 1917 by Toledo Bridge and Crane Company of Toledo, Ohio after design was completed by Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge Company of Chicago, Illinois and John Edwin Greiner (J.E. Greiner Company of Baltimore, Maryland and Chicago, Illinois). The bridge is named after Cherokee Chief John Ross, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1828 to 1866, who served longer in that position than any other person. Given the uniqueness and history of this bridge described above, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 2010.
