Idaho makes no sense. I speak from experience, having lived in the state for 20 years. Because it was cobbled together from leftovers, Idaho’s regions have nothing in common—they go together about as well as peanut butter and jellyfish.

 

This problem was understood as far back as 1886, when a bill was passed by Congress that would have eliminated Idaho altogether—giving the south to Nevada and the north to Washington. Alas, President Grover Cleveland vetoed the measure.

 

In 1907, the best plan of all was proposed, creating the state of Lincoln from northern Idaho and eastern Washington. This brilliant plan not only solved the Idaho problem, but it also made more sense of Washington and Oregon—because both of those states are profoundly divided by the Cascade mountains.

So I'm following the map that leads to you

Used in classrooms to help draw maps. I had loads of these during my schooling in the 80s.

 

I want to know if these were made in other countries? Finland? Japan? South Africa? Argentina?

 

Let me know!

At the invitation of Archbishop Anastasios. head of the Orthodox Church in Albania, I was in Albania for several weeks in the winter in 2001 to gather information and do interviews for a book that has since been published by the World Council of Churches: The Resurrection of the Church in Albania. For some chapter from the book, go to: incommunion.org/forest-flier/books/the-resurrection-of-th... .

This is the waterfall at VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver, BC.

 

I wasn't satisfied with my earlier attempts to process this image with multiple exposures because of the motion blur on the ferns, so I went back to the RAW file and used Photomatix to convert the single file to HDR and then tone-mapped it to get this result.
