Echo Park Lake has been the subject of countless postcards for nearly a century, helping promote the image of Los Angeles as a lush and sunny playground to the rest of the country.
This sepia-toned postcard of the bridge at Echo Park Lake is postmarked September 1910. The back side (next image) reads: "Dear Marea: Tomorrow I am going to Sacramento. I wish you were here to go with me. We would have a good time. How is your mama and yourself?

A sandstone plateau dominated by a landscape of endless eucalyptus forests, the Blue Mountains are located at the top of a 470-million-year-old quartzite. In the Permian period, a shallow sea covered the region, when rivers brought shales, siltstones and mudstones. Then during the Mesozoic period, rivers dumped vast amounts of sand, burying the other sedimentary rocks. By about 1 million years ago during the Pliocene era, the Blue Mountains began to form, carving out deep valleys and steep cliffs, with an elevation of 3,900 feet. Its main distinctive natural feature are the Three Sisters, a formation of triple sandstone peaks scoured by erosion, whose rocks are lit by the glimpse of light at the time of day.
Arthur Phillip, the first governor of New South Wales, first glimpsed the extent of the Blue Mountains from a ridge at the site of today's Oakhill College, Castle Hill. He named them the Carmarthen Hills, "some forty to sixty miles distant..." and he reckoned that the ground was "most suitable for government stock". This is the location where Gidley King in 1799 established a prison town for political prisoners from Ireland and Scotland.
The first documented use of the name Blue Mountains appears in Captain John Hunter's account of Phillip's 1789 expedition up the Hawkesbury River. Describing the events of about 5 July, Hunter wrote: "We frequently, in some of the reaches which we passed through this day, saw very near us the hills, which we suppose as seen from Port Jackson, and called by the governor the Blue Mountains." During the nineteenth century the name was commonly applied to the portion of the Great Dividing Range from about Goulburn in the south to the Hunter Valley in the north, but in time it came to be associated with a more limited area.
The native Aborigines knew two routes across the mountains: Bilpin Ridge, which is now the location of Bells Line of Road between Richmond and Bell, and the Coxs River, a tributary of the Nepean River. It could be followed upstream to the open plains of the Kanimbla Valley, the type of country that farmers prize.
British settlers initially considered that fertile lands lay beyond the mountains; while in the belief of many convicts China lay beyond. However, there was little fear that the mountains might provide a means of escape since they were considered impassable. This idea was, to some extent, convenient for local authorities. An "insurmountable" barrier would deter convicts from trying to escape in that direction.
A former convict, John Wilson, may have been the first colonist to cross the Blue Mountains. It is also believed that Mathew Everingham, 1795, may have also been partly successful based on letters he wrote at the time which came to light in the late 1980s. Wilson arrived with the First Fleet in 1788 and was freed in 1792. He settled in the bush, living with the Aborigines and even functioning as an intermediary between them and the settlers. In 1797 he returned to Sydney, claiming to have explored up to a hundred miles in all directions around Sydney, including across the mountains. His descriptions and observations were generally accurate, and it is possible that he had crossed the mountains via the southern aspect at the Coxs River corridor, guided by the Aborigines.
How Katoomba got its name.
From Pictorial Memories,Blue Mountains, by John Low>
In the later years Harry Peckman attained the status of 'an old local identity' and was inretviewed many times by the Mountains and city press. One of his favorire and often repeated stories concerned the origins of the name 'Katoomba'. here is what he told a journalist from the Blue Mountains Echo in February 1919:
"Somewhere in the seventies, Jaames Neale erected the first home here. He was delighted with the scenery, and tried to learn the native name for the place. With this end in view he sought out princess Betsy of the Kanimbla Tribe at Hartley, and brought her to Katoomba where she was entertained at a picnic. She informed him that the place was known as Katoomba it was thenceforth designated.
There seems no reason to douth the authenticity of the story, as it was Peckman's, carriage which transported the party to their picnic near Katoomba Falls. The word 'Katoomba" however, may not be the most accurate rendaring of the Aboriginal pronunciation. In other versions of story it is written as "Katumba" and the meanig given as 'all shiny falling water"
Echo Point is the information center and popular viewing area for the Three Sister rock formation and the Jamison Valley.

With the intensification of the migratory crisis caused by the war in Syria, Hungary, Serbia and Macedonia close their borders to thousands of people fleeing, breaking an ancient migratory route: the Balkan route. In Greece, along the barbed wire of the Macedonian border, men, women and children gather in camps, in huge self-managed tent cities, where NGOs, volunteers and activists are challenging the game of mafias of human traffickers.
Echoes shows a limbo in which the desperation of a pending future contrasts with a vital and stubborn resistance, focusing her gaze on the day before the eviction of Eko Station, the last remaining informal camp in northern Greece. Through the frequencies of a pirate radio, words and rebel songs echo in the silence imposed by the Fortress Europe.

I originally thought this was some sort of fault line or rift zone, but I've since learned this is an erosive feature. These are the Echo Cliffs northeast of the Painted Desert, along US 89 some 20 miles north of Cameron, Arizona, and 10 miles west of Tuba City, Arizona. This is all Navajo Nations territory.

This is an ordinary vineyard caught after the harvest, and I don't know if there's any story behind it. But in Virginia, the remnants of civil war battles are omnipresent, and the wires and posts here, many like crosses, brought to my mind a war-ravaged battlefield which whispers the names of the fallen.
