Found this wonderful 1939 National Geographic photo taken on the New Mexico border by Luis Marden. Note the single taillight on this car. It is difficult to read the brand name on the hubcap of the spare when I look at the photo I downloaded in 1920x1057 size, but it could start with D. So, a Dodge maybe? But the car looks too modest to be a Dodge.
The ever-changing hues, intricate patterns, and diverse geographic formations of Red Rock Canyon are a breathtaking sight to behold.

The scaly-breasted munia is about 11–12 centimetres (4.3–4.7 in) long and weighs 12–16 grams (0.026–0.035 lb). The adult has a stubby dark bill typical of grain eating birds, brown upperparts and a dark brown head. The underparts are white with dark scale markings. The sexes are similar, although males have darker markings on the underside and a darker throat than females.

My pic (left) in a new National Geographic book (Practical Photography Guide, technical tips for taking great photos), the caption reads "The hands of this lady perched on an Afghan blanket are the focus of this photo. The sharpness of the focus makes us feel the hands as if they were ours, and we can almost feel the texture of the fabric."
If this is the Easter Bunny, he is a way too early - and why did he bring his whole family? There are dozens of them hopping all around our cabin, and living beneath every outbuilding. Pretty soon the predators will follow, and I may get to see lynx and fox in hot pursuit. I plan to have my cameras at the ready.

Imaginary Geography · Sébastien Robert from Emerging Threshold
Dunguarie Castle was built in 1520 by the O’Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. The Castle takes it name from the nearby ancient fort of Guaire, King of Connaught who died is 662 AD. This restored 16th century tower house sits on a rocky outcrop on the shores of Galway Bay, 300 yards outside the picturesque village of Kinvara.

In the lower left corner of the photo is Umbrella Plant (Schefflera arboricola)
With a name like Washington Oaks Gardens, you expect formal gardens. And they are lovely — ancient spreading oak trees, a meandering waterway fed by a clear spring, plantings of roses and azaleas, a gazebo and numerous photo-worthy scenes.

Taken in the basement of a friend's grandma's place as we were cleaning it out.
Hmm, LR seems to have taken out all my EXIF data . Well, it was definitely shot on my Q2. :)
Sometimes the effort to obtain a decent animal photo will just not materialize or just go awry. This guy seems to be looking over his shoulder to say, "See you later!"
This White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was seen in the Cades Cove area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee.

Geographical Map Gallery - Vatican Museums
La galleria è posta lungo l'itinerario che conduce alla Cappella Sistina; è un'eccezionale rappresentazione cartografica delle regioni d'Italia, realizzata tra il 1581 e il 1583. Costituisce in tal modo una testimonianza preziosa delle cognizioni geografiche e dello stato dei luoghi in quell'epoca.
È un corridoio di 120 metri di lunghezza e sei di larghezza, sulle cui pareti sono raffigurate quaranta carte delle varie regioni d'Italia, ciascuna con le mappe delle principali città, e si conclude con le vedute dei suoi porti principali del Cinquecento: Civitavecchia, Genova, Ancona e Venezia. Ogni mappa di regione è accompagnata sul soffitto dalle rappresentazioni dei principali eventi religiosi avvenuti in essa.
Papa Gregorio XIII ordinò la costruzione della galleria, e l'opera fu diretta dal frate domenicano, matematico, geografo e amico del papa Ignazio Danti, che si occupò della sua realizzazione tra il 1581 e il 1583.
Percorrere la galleria è, secondo le intenzioni di Ignazio Danti, come viaggiare lungo gli Appennini e affacciarsi sulla costa adriatica, verso est, e tirrenica, verso ovest. Infatti così sono distribuite sulle due pareti le mappe regionali e le vedute dei porti che completano la galleria: verso destra quelle adriatiche e verso sinistra quelle tirreniche
The gallery is located along the itinerary leading to the Sistine Chapel; is an exceptional cartographic representation of the regions of Italy, built between 1581 and 1583. It is thus a precious testimony to the geographic knowledge and the state of the places at that time.
It is a 120-meter-long and six-wide corridor, whose walls are forty cards of the various regions of Italy, each with maps of the main cities, and concludes with the views of its main ports of the sixteenth century: Civitavecchia, Genoa, Ancona and Venice. Each map of the region is accompanied on the ceiling by the representations of the main religious events in it.
Pope Gregory XIII ordered the construction of the gallery, and the work was directed by the Dominican Friar, mathematician, geographer and friend of Pope Ignatius Danti, who dealt with his achievement between 1581 and 1583.
Navigating through the gallery is, according to Ignazio Danti's intentions, how to travel along the Apennines and look out over the Adriatic coast, east and tirrenica, to the west. In fact, the regional maps and the views of the ports completing the gallery are distributed on both sides: to the right of the Adriatic and to the left the Tyrrhenian ones
National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg grew up in SW Minnesota and worked with others to purchase area land to restore it to natural prairie land. I have given support to this wonderful group. More information can be found at: jimbrandenburg.com/bpf/about/ and www.facebook.com/touchtheskyprairie/ .
