Fire Canyon in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada is a dramatic sandstone formation that showcases exactly where iron deposits seeped into the silica millennia ago, by an abrupt change from white to red. On this evening, the last throes of the sun shone right along that line of demarcation to illuminate the prominent snowcap of Virgin Peak below the clouds in the distance, while also showcasing the full moon above the clouds.
It was a blustery evening with temperatures in the low 50s and winds gusting to 30 kts, but it was a spectacular sight to behold, and true to Colorado Plateau form, within a week the high temperatures were forecast to be near 100°F.

Waiting for the sun to rise on a rocky knoll just east of the North Window Arch, I saw the pre-dawn light begin to work its way onto this formation.
The red sandstone around the Colorado Plateau is so distinctly different from other places. And, adding to that, these strange formations that occur all around southern Utah just make me think about what pre-historic times must have been like with no trace of man or industry, no trails, no pollution, just the purity of nature in all of its fantastic form.
The brilliant masterstroke exercised in setting aside public lands to protect and preserve them cannot be overstated.

A small vessel passes in front of the setting sun. I like this image, in particular, because of the mock-mirage of the sun. This occurs when a layer of cooler air is trapped below an inversion layer, creating the appearance of a sun that is no longer round.
There are over 1000 slot canyons in southern Utah.
Cottonwood Canyon is located near the Cockscomb in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. On a hot day, the shade doesn't offer a great break from the heat, because the air flow through the canyon is pretty low. And, despite the fact that this is a desert, slot canyons are no place to be if there are heavy rains.
For me, this scene is special because of the colors and the quiet nature of this place. Hiking along the canyon with my bride is a great memory from an amazing journey.
Are there any eligible gentlemen out there who would like to share afternoon tea with her? She has an excellent sense of humour.

Aptly named, this cove along the southwestern shore of San Juan Island would appear to be a great anchorage at high-tide. But, at low tide, with shallow pools and deep mud, this would be a nightmare for mariners.
Now part of a Marine Preserve, False Bay encapsulates a vast amount of biodiversity in its silt, tide pools and eelgrass beds. Of course, the view across Haro Strait and the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward the Olympic mountains is unparalleled.

Momma bear catches a whiff of something while her two cubs continue feasting on the berries.
While on the full-day bus excursion into Denali National Park, we happened upon this grizzly sow and her two cubs bulking up on berries. Amazingly, we were also able to see a lynx observing them, not 50' from where these three were feeding. After watching for a few minutes, the sow lifted her head, probably having caught scent of the lynx and eventually rushed to where the cat was located to investigate. When the cubs followed suit, the lynx reappeared about 15' from this point.
The wildlife in Denali seem oblivious to the buses. Very little private vehicular traffic is allowed into the park beyond the 15-mile mark on the 92 mile Park Road to Kantishna (the only road in this massive six million acre National Park).
Although the weather was overcast in the morning, followed by heavy rains in the afternoon and evening, we were able to see quite a bit of wildlife in the park. Unfortunately, we were unable to see the entirety of Denali Mountain.

The metamorphic rock in the foreground is comprised of layers of quartz, feldspar and black mica.
The white rock near the top right of the frame is igneous rock, primarily pegmatite, which was squeezed between the layers of metamorphic rock while both were still deep in the earth's crust approximately 400 million years ago.
Pemaquid Point lighthouse, by itself would be relatively unremarkable were it not for this fascinating and massive gneiss of vertical rock layers between the light and the water below.
When you've promised your family that the last picture for the day was taken, and the journey to dinner and rest for the night is underway, it's painful to see a beautiful sunset erupting from the driver seat.
My wife, sensing my pain, suggested we pull over at the next place where we might be able to see the coast and catch a few moments of the grandeur. As luck would have it, we came across Patrick's Point State Park, and the ranger at the gate was kind enough to let us through despite the close of day visitors coinciding with sunset.
We carefully but quickly drove to the nearest parking area for Wedding Rock, with little knowledge of what to expect...we did know that we were deep into golden hour and minutes away from the sun reaching the horizon. But, as most photographers know, the real light show actually occurs after the sun sets, like this, when the deeper colors of the encroaching night sky heighten the contrast with the light.
I am so grateful that my wife was with me and encourages me that sometimes it's ok to go back on my word about "the last one."

Who doesn't have hundreds of pictures of these in La Jolla?
Something about this one just worked for me. I like the fact that the lighter fur on the front have of the subject's body stood out, almost as if spotlighted. The sky is pretty overcast with marine layer, which is dull in color, but in monochrome it almost seems as though she has a ray of light on her.

The historic Rutledge Presbyterian Church was constructed circa 1903, on a hill overlooking Highway 11-W in the center of Rutledge, Tennessee, the county seat of Grainger County. It was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C in the area of Architecture at the local level of significance. The period of significance is the date of construction of the historic church building begins with the establishment of the cemetery in 1864 and continues on into 1903 with the construction of the church. The church building retains a high level of both exterior and interior integrity and serves as a strong example of local craftsmanship as a Folk Victorian church building with Gothic Revival influences. Simplistic ornamentation and design reflect the rural setting and vernacular building traditions, while the overall condition and existence of mostly original materials reflects quality workmanship. As a religious property whose significance derives from its architectural design, it meets Criterion Consideration A. The historically-associated wrap-around cemetery with headstones and funerary statues dating to as early as 1864 also contributes as an integral part of the property and significance.

The Maynardville State Bank was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A for its role in the commercial development and banking interests of the small town of Maynardville, and criterion C as a good local example of a vernacular Classical Revival style building. The bank is located at the corner of Main Street and Court Street in the town of Maynardville the county seat of Union County, directly across the street from the county courthouse. The Maynardville State Bank represents the local history of a small agricultural community and was approved for listing on the NRHP on November 21, 2001.

The Hartsville Historic District located in Trousdale County, Tennessee was nominated and deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A for its significance to the patterns of Trousdale County's history as a late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial center and under criterion C as a significant example of late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial and domestic architecture in Hartsville & Trousdale County. One of the more prominent buildings located on the Northwest corner of West Main Street and Broadway is the old Bank of Hartsville built in 1901. It is a Neo-Classical two-story two-part commercial block brick building with stone pedimented door surround, tripartite windows on first floor, one-over-one double hung sash windows on second floor, and a decorative cornice and parapet. Unfortunately, at the time of my photograph, it appears that the structure was not in use. Hopefully it has been restored and/or repurposed so this great piece of history and architecture can be preserved for many, many years to come.
The Hartsville Historic District was added to the NRHP on June 24, 1993. All the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

The Wartburg Presbyterian Church was deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C in the area of Architecture at the local level of significance. The period of significance is the date of construction of this historic church building: 1883. The church building retains a high level of both exterior and interior integrity, and serves as a strong example of local vernacular craftsmanship as a Folk Victorian church building. The church is an excellent example of a transitional style for regional ecclesiastical architecture, between the simple rectilinear churches characteristic of rural Protestant religious architecture in Tennessee up to that point and adoption of the Victorian architectural vocabularies of the period, both in the ornamental details on the church and in the irregular footprint of the building. Rather than exhibiting traditional styles of religious architecture, this building borrows from both Gothic Revival and Queen Anne styles in a unique local expression of Late Victorian religious architecture. As a religious property whose significance is derived from its architectural design, it also meets the burden of Criteria Considerations A. Therefore, this church was added to the NRHP on December 18, 2013 and all the information above plus much more can be found here:

The Royse City Lodge #663 A.F. & A.M. (constructed circa 1925) is the most substantial and intact property in the central business district of Royse City. Designed by W.A. Kimzey, believed to be from Greenville, Texas, and constructed by J.E. Harris of Royse City, the Lodge is a handsome 2-story building that borrows architectural elements from the Mission Revival style. The property is one of the few architect designed buildings in the community and is recognized locally as a significant architectural element in the context of Royse City. The property initially served only fraternal activities of the local Masonic Lodge, but in 1936 officials of Royse City leased the first floor for the first city hall and fire & police station. Royse City purchased the first floor in 1941 and continues to use the building for those purposes.
The history of the Lodge and the City are intertwined since the very early days. At least three mayors, Newt Burton (1938-1944), Roy Cookston (1944-1950), and R.M. James (1954-1957) were members of the Lodge. Many of the towns Aldermen also have been Lodge members. The Lodge building also has a long and respected history in Royse City, Texas. Every citizen of Royse City has utilized the building for some purpose, either fraternal or political. Many of the other buildings were destroyed in a devastating fire in the 1930's and this building, in its dual role, has continued to serve the needs of every citizen of Royse City for a century. No other building has greater significance to the community or has been occupied by the original owners since its construction.
On October 28, 1994, the Royse City Masonic Lodge was recognized as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under criterion C for its architecture and criterion A for its social history & continued use by residents for government & political purposes at a local level.

Inaugurated on October 18, 2000, this monument entitled "Women are Persons!" is a tribute to Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. Known as the Famous Five, these women won the "Persons" Case, a 1929 court ruling which legally declared women as persons under the British North America Act and made them eligible for appointment to the Canadian Senate
The larger-than-life sculptures by Edmonton artist Barbara Paterson were donated to the Government of Canada by the Famous 5 Foundation. They show the five women celebrating their important legal victory in characteristic poses. An empty chair adds an interactive feature to the monument that invites passers-by to join the group. The newspaper with the headline "Women are Persons" that Nellie McClung is holding reflects some of the actual headlines of newspapers of the day.
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), novelist, journalist, suffragette and temperance worker. She was a member of the Alberta legislature, the only woman on the Dominion War Council, and the first woman on the CBC Board of Governors.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette and politician. She was elected president of the women's branch of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1916 and became a member of the Alberta legislature in 1921. She was still a member of Parliament at the time of the Persons Case.
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigator of the Persons Case, writer, and first woman magistrate in the British Empire. She pioneered married women's rights, was National President of the Canadian Women's Press Club 1913-1920, vice-president of the National Council of Women and first president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journalist, suffragist and organizer, fought for equal rights for wives, mothers' allowances and women's rights. She started the Working Girls' Association in Montréal in 1875, a forerunner of the YWCA. Later, while living in Alberta, she compiled two works on Alberta and federal laws affecting women and children.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), politician and temperance campaigner. She was president of the Dominion Women's Christian Union and elected to the Alberta legislature in 1917 as representative of the non-partisan league.

Inauguré le 18 octobre 2000, ce monument intitulé «Les femmes sont des personnes!» rend hommage à Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney et Henrietta Muir Edwards. Ces cinq femmes, mieux connues sous le nom des « Cinq femmes célèbres », ont gagné l'affaire « personnes », un jugement de 1929 qui reconnaissait l'existence des femmes en tant que personnes selon l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique et les rendait admissibles à être nommées au Sénat du Canada
Les sculptures plus grandes que nature, oeuvre de l'artiste Barbara Paterson, d'Edmonton, ont été offertes au Gouvernement du Canada par la fondation Famous 5. Elles représentent les cinq femmes célébrant leur victoire juridique historique dans des poses caractéristiques. Une chaise vide fait partie de l'oeuvre et constitue un élément interactif qui invite les passants à se joindre au groupe. Le titre «Les femmes sont des personnes», sur le journal qu'arbore Nellie McClung, représente bien le type de manchettes qu'on pouvait lire à l'époque.
QUI SONT LES CINQ FEMMES CÉLÈBRES (de gauche à droite sur la photo, source :Archives nationales du Canada) :
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), romancière, journaliste, suffragette et militante au sein du mouvement de tempérance. Députée à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta, elle fut la seule femme à siéger au Dominion War Council et la première femme à faire partie du Conseil des gouverneurs de la Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette et femme politique. Elle fut élue en 1916 présidente de la section féminine de la United Farmers of Alberta et, en 1921, députée à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta. Elle siégeait encore au Parlement au moment de l'affaire « personnes ».
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigatrice de l'affaire « personnes », écrivaine et première femme à siéger comme juge municipale dans l'Empire britannique. Elle a revendiqué les droits des femmes mariées, a été présidente nationale du Canadian Women's Press Club de 1913 à 1920, vice-présidente du National Council of Women et première présidente de la Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journaliste, suffragette et organisatrice, lutta pour l'égalité des droits des femmes et des épouses, et pour les allocations familiales. En 1875, à Montréal, elle fonda la Working Girls' Association, qui deviendrait un jour la Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). Plus tard, lorsqu'elle habitait l'Alberta, elle compila deux recueils de lois provinciales et fédérales concernant les femmes et les enfants.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), femme politique et militante de la tempérance. Elle présida la Dominion Women's Christian Union et fut élue à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta en 1917 comme représentante de la ligue non partisane.

If you live in the U.S. and are eligible to vote, today would be an excellent day to do it - whether you got your rights under the original Constitution (white men), the 15th amendment (black men), or the 19th amendment (all women). The 24th amendment means we don't have to pay a poll tax, and if you're 18, you can thank the 26th amendment for not making you wait till 2012.
Tomorrow, on the other hand, would not be a good day to vote.

The Booker T. Motel was determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (MRHP) under criterion A for its significance in African-American history and commerce in Humboldt, Tennessee. The period of significance for the Booker T. Motel (also known as the Booker T. "Colored" Motel and Restaurant) extends from 1954, the year the motel was constructed, through 1970, when ownership changed hands from Mr. Alfred Pulliam to Mr. Ollie Armour. During the period of significance, accommodations for traveling African-Americans were few and far between. Strategically, the motel was located near the intersection of U.S. Highways 79 and 70A just blocks from Humboldt’s business district and in the heart of the historically African-American community. The establishment became one of the few places African-Americans could stop and stay while traveling between Memphis and Nashville. The motel had the distinction of being advertised in the Green Book (The Negro Travelers Green Book originated in New York by mail carrier Victor H. Green in 1937 to give African-American’s direction on where they could stop or stay along their route to avoid unwanted dangers) and was featured in Ebony magazine article in 1955 titled “Hotels on the Highway”. The motel’s barbeque restaurant was also one of the only places in the area where African-American guests did not have to enter through a segregated back door and is an important example of a Black-owned barbeque restaurant.
An October 8, 1953 Jackson Sun (Jackson, TN newspaper) article announced that Humboldt “will shortly have the only Negro tourist court between Memphis and Nashville.” The article said that the motel would be “for the accommodation of colored people only”, would be located “on lower Main Street, and attributed the “unique name of this latest addition to the local business institutions is in honor, of course, of the founder and first president of the Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Booker T. Washington.” The motel opened with a formal dedication ceremony on January 31, 1954. According to an announcement in the Jackson Sun, the “general public, white and Negro,” were invited to attend the event which marked “another ‘first’ for Humboldt and probably also a first for the entire state.” The Green Book documents that there were other at least eighteen hotels throughout the state that served African-American visitors, but none were described as a motel. An original Booker T. Motel advertising sign is in the National Museum of African American History and Culture to tell the story of African-American travel in the mid-twentieth century. And, there are no other known African-American motels in Tennessee, rendering the Booker T. Motel a rare surviving monument to the struggle African-Americans endured during segregation and a historically significant, vital commercial enterprise in Tennessee’s African American history.
On July, 25, 2018, the Booker T. Motel was officially added to the NRHP. All of the information above (and much more) was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

The Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute Historic District was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A for its role in education in Fentress County and the State of Tennessee. The high school played an important role in the education of Fentress County youth who had previously had little opportunity to attend a four-year high school. The York Agricultural Institute is also the only public school in the state that is operated by the State. The Institute was founded in 1926 as the culmination of World War I hero Sgt. Alvin C. York's wish to provide a broader education for the youth of Fentress County than had previously been available. Sgt. York raised much of the needed capital to build and operate the school by involving some of the more prominent citizens in the United States. York firmly believed, because of his experiences in the army and with his public appearances as a war hero, that the youth of his home county needed to be better educated than he was. This structure was the first of the historic buildings built in 1926, and was the Old Main Building and, I believe the original High School. The whole 'district', comprised of a portion of a 400-acre campus that includes three historic buildings & a sign spelling out "York Institute", several newer buildings, and a 125-acre farm, was added to the NRHP on September 20, 1991. All the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

The Daugherty Furniture Building, located in downtown Clinton, Tennessee, was determined to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2010 under Criterion A for its local significance in the commercial development of the City of Clinton in the twentieth century. From its construction in 1938 to 1960, Daugherty Furniture served as a notable commercial center and gathering place in Clinton. The store sold furniture, appliances, hardware, flooring, and other related specialty household items until it closed in 1985. It is also a locally significant example under Criterion C of an early twentieth century commercial building with vernacular stylistic treatments. Its design is characterized by its stone clad walls, metal casement windows, and stepped parapet walls. The building retains the majority of its historic materials and features and retains a high level of integrity.

Don’t mind criticism. If it’s untrue, disregard it; if it’s unfair, stay calm; if it’s ignorant, smile; if it’s justified, learn from it.
The young (eligible) Knyaz/Prince Yusupov was introduced to everyone in the room. Which only means he will have to appear in the capital now as he (and his fortune) will surely be the talk of the city!

The One Hundred North Main (aka 100NM) Building was determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C as an excellent local example of the late International style in Memphis, Shelby County,Tennessee when it was included on April 24, 2015. Completed in 1965, and designed by architect Robert Lee Hall and Associates, the building exhibits the hallmarks of International style including a pilotis, vertical panels with marble chip sheathing and vertical ribbon-style anodized aluminum windows which are the character defining features of the exterior of the building. Inside, book matched marble in the entry and elsewhere, aluminum and anodized aluminum trim, multiple elevators, dual escalators and extensive use of glass on the main floors remain intact, adding to the architectural significance of 100NM. As with most International style buildings, the use of high quality and unique materials is concentrated on the exterior, main entries and lobbies. Secondary floors of the building exhibit an International style free-floor plan with only the central core (elevators, restrooms, utilities) being an important feature. The flat roof with a landscaped garden invokes Modernist architect, Le Corbusier’s, seminal Villa Savoye. A unique Mid-century feature of the building is the extant revolving restaurant. The One Hundred North Main Building, builder and developer Harry Bloomfield’s grand architectural vision, remains a unique focal point of the Memphis riverfront skyline, as much today as when originally constructed. All the information above was found in the original documents submitted to the NRHP and can be seen on Here:

These birds use a combination of colour and skill display to make an impression in courtship. They not only don striking yellow and black breeding plumage, but also showcase their nest-building prowess in their attempt to emphasise their eligibility. Once a nest is complete, the female is 'invited' to inspect the male's handiwork. If she deems it acceptable, she will start to line the nest in preparation for egg-laying. However, if it is judged to be lacking, she will reject the nest - after which, in the majority of instances, the male will pull it apart and start afresh.
