The first visitors to Indian Echo Caverns, most likely were the Susquehannock Indians. They lived along the Swatara creek, upon which the mouth of the caverns sits. It is currently believed that they used the caverns as a refuge during inclement weather because of the constant 52° temperature inside the caverns. The Susquehannock vanished from the area in the 1670's leaving the region around the caverns virtually unoccupied.
The first non-Native American explorers of the caverns were most likely French fur trappers. They traveled along the rivers and creeks of the north east during the latter part of the 17th Century and into the early 18th Century. Most likely they discovered the mouth of the caverns as they traveled on the Swatara Creek. These intrepid explorers wrote about their tales in the caverns attracting more and more explorers.
The Caverns were first opened to the general public in 1929, when Mr. John Bieber opened the doors to the caverns. Mr. Bieber realized that many people wishing to visit the caverns might be put off by the treacherous, uneven terrain that nature created. Bieber undertook a massive commercialization process, in which all of the pathways in the caverns were made safe for travel, as well as opening up many rooms closed off because of huge mineral deposits. The caverns were a natural Mecca of the region, attracting thousands of visitors in its first years. However, sadly, the caverns fell upon hard times during the Great Depression, and Mr. Bieber lost ownership to the bank. All was not lost, for in 1942, Mr. Edward S. Swartz, a Hershey native purchased the caverns. Today, the ownership of the caverns still remain in his family, with hundreds of thousands of visitors walking the paths of the Susquehannocks each year.
I am off work today with 'man' flu so have had a little time to apply my photoshop skils. This is a combination of 2 of my own shots and 3 free textures from

Marshall i do need another layer mask lesson !
Here's the other Toyota Echo my neighbor owns. You've seen his 2002 two-door Echo; here's his 2000 four-door model.
This Echo sedan is essentially the same as the 2002 model, with the same 1.5-liter four.
My neighbor loves old cars. In case you were wondering, that's a '97 Saturn parked behind the Toyota.
Taken with my flip phone.

I FINALLY made my way around Echo Park Lake! I broke my foot a week before the lake reopened back in June. Three months (and one surgery) later, I finally walked the perimeter of the lake (i use the term "walk" loosely). I didn't walk around the lake gracefully - hard to be graceful on crutches, but I was on two feet. And that in itself, was a great feeling. :)
Jasper National Park:
"The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the spring;
The skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bell's cheerful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Echoing Green..." - William Blake
Forgive the wrinkled paper. Just moved and my papers are a mess! Bare with me.
I just couldn't wait to play. ; )
The echoes inside the baptistery are such that, as this security guard demonstrates, you can have a one-person chorus.

January 13, 2019 - Echo Park Lake glows so beautifully at twilight time blue hour before sunrise this morning! I joined the Donut Street Meet for our first Photo Meetup of 2019 at Echo Park Lake in Los Angeles, CA! Here is one of my favorite first pictures of the day today!
In January 2022 I visited a special exhibition of Barbara Hepworth's work at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.
Some of Bridget Riley's work was also on display. It often challenges the eye!
Here is a collage I made earlier today. the top photo is Ian back in 1975 aged 10 at Echo point in Katoomba NSW And the bottom Shot is Ian again back in 1992 aged 27 at the Echo point.
If you click on the full size version, you can see the beachgoers on the north end of the lake.
Had a little PS trouble with this, cause it was taken through the glass of the window on the tram. Any tips on getting the colors of the sky right?

Photograph taken at 13:59pm on September 4th 2012 past Ennerdale Bridge on the shoreline of Enerdale Water, the most Westerly of the lakes in the Lake District, Cumbria, England.
It is a deep glacial lake, 2.5 miles long 3/4 mile wide and 148 feet deep. The water is exceptionally clear, and contains a variety of fish. It serves as a reservoir for the coastal towns of West Cumbria, and outflows to the River Ehen.
