As an ongoing fascination with making fake map-looking things in Excel via formatted pivot tables, here's one showing wildfires in the US.

The area roughly represented by the table is here shown outlined in black. The main geographic features are the village of Wolfsdorf (mostly off the table), the town of Goldberg and the road net converging on it, and a large wooded hill called the Flensberg, just to the southeast of the town. Lauriston's V Corps is advancing boldly on Goldberg, expecting no resistance since Yorck's 1st Prussian Corps was last observed withdrawing northwards in some haste.

I went a bit out of my way to walk to the Cincinnati Art Museum. It's easy to break six miles when you get lost in a city park and are trying to navigate a small residential "mountain"!

Scanned directly from the Silverton Railroad file print of the original blue print copy--it's way too big for my scanner. This being the Preliminary Location of an electric railroad never built. This map also includes a Condensed Profile that shows the maximum grade at 7 ft in 100 ft and elevations are D&RG standard. What was called Red Mountain Park on this map is now called Ironton Park and the line is straight through the iron fens following the general route of today's US 550. R. L. Kelly is shown as Engineer, and G. E. Howard as Assistant. The map is in remarkable condition and this may be its first trip out of the vault in 40 years. Reproductions of this map exist, but the original is remarkably sharp and crisp, the colors still vivid. The map has a pencil notation that it was made in 1892, a year before the 1893 silver panic.

Montenegro – 1000 Facets of the Kaleidoscope –The Wild Beauty at The Southern Adriatic

 

Black” mountains, blue sea, green alpine meadows, awe-inspiring canyons, idyllic lakes

 

A universe in a nutshell – far apart from the beaten tourist tracks. A re-discovered paradise opens up to its guests.

 

Holiday at the seaside with lovely beaches, hidden coves, fascinating small historical coastal towns with modern flair: yes, naturally! You may choose from cosy quarters in a hospitable private home to international 5-star hotels with the complete wellness programme. The gastronomy offers delicious regional specialities as well as international classics.

 

Hiking on marked trails, through majestic mountain massifs with spice-scented meadows; discover the boundless high plateaus on a mountain bike; white-waters, the awe-inspiring canyon (Europe’s deepest) of the river Tara, a hot spot for rafters! Eerie caves and ravines where bears and wolves may hide (and maybe goblins and fairies): yes, naturally!

 

National parks appeal to all nature lovers. Montenegro already has four very distinctive ones and will soon have six. For instance Biogradska Gora, the wildly romantic primeval forest, which you can explore on an easy trail. Or the area around Lake Skadar, Europe’s largest bird sanctuary. With this and many other measures our country endeavours to fulfil the article of our constitution as an “Ecological State”. Growing areas of our land are being established as nature reserves and protected by law - naturally!

 

Historical treasures from the earliest settlements to the Njegoš Mausoleum on top of the mountain Lovcen: yes, naturally! Our varied history left its tracks from the Roman buildings that are still used as venues up to the fortifications built by the Habsburg realm – with a breathtaking view of the unique Bay of Kotor with its fascinating heart. Follow the Adriatic coastline south to the charming medieval village Budva and to the largest beach near Ulcinj: there is a lot waiting to be discovered. But we would like to induce you also to explore the interior of the country: the historical royal town Cetinje is just north of Budva. A very interesting excursion would be a trip to the Ostrog Monastery, where miracles are said to happen even today.

 

And you ought to meet the Montenegrin mountain people, too. Throughout our diverse history they learned to valiantly repulse invaders of all kinds – and to receive welcome guests with genuine hospitality. Do look them up in the scattered alpine cottages and experience a visit to friends.

 

Who will enjoy a holiday in Montenegro? Sunbathers and beach runners, adventurers and discoverers, fans of day- and nightlife, nature lovers and people looking for places of spiritual power: as a matter of fact, everybody.

 

See more – see you in Montenegro.

   

MAPS hangar pano, viewed to southeast, south and southwest from the north upper level balustrade. The hangar's east overhead door is at left • The center of the floor was set up for a wedding and/or reception. I asked “How many weddings do you have in a year?” and the answer was “A lot!” It's certainly a unique venue. I left before the parking lot became jammed with the wedding party and guests • I plan to add aircraft descriptions throughout May • Click image to enlarge, then move mouse to pan.

 

The blue Marines plane, far left, is a one-third scale Corsair – a gull wing fighter with a large radial engine • acepilots.com/planes/f4u_corsair.html is a mandatory read about the many Corsair problems that occurred aboard Navy aircraft carriers, and, in flight. Their mechanics, ground crew and pilots were tough!

 

The two tan objects, right, that look like a large outhouse/shed and doghouse, are a single object – the 1908 Martin towable glider. The largest object is the wing structure, with a tube fuselage below, and a foot-steerable nosewheel at the right end of the second row of wedding tables. The smaller doghouse is the tail group. Both are covered in tan canvas over steel or wood framework. It's suspended from the ceiling, near my camera, and appears overly large compared to the pano's farther objects... www.flickr.com/photos/mathersteve/15963759849/ is my artsy-fartsy image from 2009, taken from the hangar floor with the Martin more centrally located in the ceiling. It better defines the Martin's amazing construction details. Worth a L@@K

These turtles were basking but not in the sun due to the cool and cloudy day. Still must be warmer than the water.

This map, on a larger scale, shows the individual streets in Bradford. It was still a small place with fields almost to the centre of town. The population the previous year was 6393. Manningham Lane has been built and the Bradford Canal with its wharves near the Parish Church is now shown

Biome classes 99 (Rock and Ice) and 98 (Lake) from the WWF data were recoded to match the dominant surrounding Biome class. Source Information: www.worldwide.org/sceince/ecoregions/terrestrial.cfm.

Along with Miss Réne, my favorite bikes. I wouldn't trade, though. :)
