HFF! In my wanderings through Columbus, I found this unusual sculpture of a deer looking over the Scioto River from a bridge. Just had to photograph it. And now I know more about it! ( www.columbusnavigator.com/scioto-deer/ ) We're leaving tomorrow to visit family in California - first trip out that way in two years. Excited to be able to travel again, and especially to see family! Hopefully when we're back we'll have more photos to share here.
The Columbus Monument (Catalan: Monument a Colom, Spanish: Monumento a Colón or Mirador de Colón) is a 60 m (197 ft) tall monument to Christopher Columbus at the lower end of La Rambla.
It was constructed for the Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) in honor of Columbus' first voyage to the Americas. The monument serves as a reminder that Christopher Columbus reported to Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand V in Barcelona after his first trip to the new continent.

Here's the holiday streetscapes in Columbus, Nebraska. It was mist all day, and continued into night. So, I decided to grab the opportunity to snapshot with that kind of the weather I have been waiting for.

The Casa de Colón (Columbus House) is an architectural complex located in the center of the old Vegueta neighborhood in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It is believed that the renowned navigator stayed there while fixing one of his caravels during his first voyage to the New World in 1492. The project incorporates a number of the houses which currently take up the entire block and includes a library, a museum, and a dedicated study center inside.
The Columbus House was established to study, research and disseminate the history of the Canary Islands and their relationship with the Americas. The museum is divided into five thematic areas. The first contains various information panels showing the settlement of the New World, and the cultures and peoples of Pre-Columbian America. The section entitled "Columbus and his Voyages" recreates the explorer's expeditions, while an exhibit in another room examines Columbus’ time in the Canary Islands. The Columbus House also has a collection of paintings from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

Source: The Columbus Chapel and Boal Mansion Museum in Pennsylvania, a Boal family home for over 200 years (for eight generations).
The second generation, George Boal, who lobbied Harrisburg to put the state farmer’s school, nearby, which is now the Penn State University.
The fourth generation, Colonel Theodore Davis Boal, went to Europe in the 1890's to study architecture, and married a French, Mathilde de Lagarde, who was related to Christopher Columbus. When Mathilde’s aunt died, Mathilde inherited the Columbus Chapel in Asturias, Spain. Boal built an exact replica of the chapel at home and had boxed up the chapel's contents in Spain and shipped to Boalsburg, Pennsylvania in 1909.
The map and ship in the next photo are displayed at the separate house with other Columbus related items. Probably the largest collection related to Columbus in U.S.
Finally! For many years I wanted to take a trip to Montana to shoot trains in mountains, and this year me and a few friends were able to do it. After meeting a couple eastbounds, MRL LAUBOZ heads west through the curve outside Columbus with a pair of SD40-2XRs for power, next to a swollen Yellowstone River. We almost cancelled our trip due to flooding the previous week, but decided to wait and see, and thank God we did. Although this was only the first shot of the chase on this day, it might be my favorite one.

The fountain, which was co-created by Taft and architect Daniel Burnham, was influenced by a fountain designed by Frederick MacMonnies that was displayed at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. This work depicted a figure of Columbia sitting on a ship with a figure of Fame standing on a ship prow holding a trumpet and a representational figure of Time dominating the stern.
