Bears Ears National Monument in southeastern Utah protects one of most significant cultural landscapes in the United States, with thousands of archaeological sites and important areas of spiritual significance. Abundant rock art, ancient cliff dwellings, ceremonial kivas, and countless other artifacts provide an extraordinary archaeological and cultural record, all surrounded by a dramatic backdrop of deep sandstone canyons, desert mesas, and forested highlands and the monumentās namesake twin buttes. These lands are sacred to many Native American tribes today, who use the lands for ceremonies, collecting medicinal and edible plants, and gathering materials for crafting baskets and footwear. Their recommendations will ensure management decisions reflect tribal expertise and traditional and historical knowledge. If you visit this site practice Leave No Trace principles and do not touch or enter the structures.

This was create to dedicate to the fighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom during the "Emergency Rule"
The water looked so blue was due to the blue tiles used for the pool.
This monument commemorates the great Ashgabat earthquake of 1946. A bull tosses the earth on his horns; on the top is a small golden child - guess who?
A little cliche, but the monument looks intimidating in this photo. I like the contrasting shades of light too.
Another shot that I was lucky enough to grab on my trip down to Mexico. We ate dinner in Salt Lake City the night before at a great little pizza place called The Pie. We took longer than we should have and the result was me driving like mad through the twisting mountain roads with the trailer of death behind, trying to reach Monument Valley by sunup. It was torturous to drive through Moab, past Arches and Canyonlands National Park in the night without even slowing up. I've dreamed of shooting those places since I started out. I have to get back sooner than later..
I just barely made it, but unfortunately it wasn't the prettiest sunrise. It felt so good to just get out of the car and shoot though that I didn't really care. I walked up and down the street...all the while thinking of Forrest Gump in my head..

This is taken at Vivary Park in Taunton, Somerset. I went for a walk in the park with my mother and decided to take my camera with me in case I see some good photography opportunities, especially seeing as I was still doing my GCSE Art course at the time.
The sky was so clear that day, perfect for photos!
Le monument BarrĆØs est situĆ© sur le signal de VaudĆ©mont, au sommet de la colline de Sion. Il a Ć©tĆ© inaugurĆ© en 1928 en l'honneur de l'Ć©crivain Maurice BarrĆØs, originaire de la colline de Sion, qu'il avait cĆ©lĆ©brĆ©e dans son roman La Colline inspirĆ©e.
Une des citations inscrite sur le monument :
"Lāhorizon qui cerne cette plaine, cāest celui qui cerne toute vie. Il donne une place dāhonneur Ć notre soif dāinfini en mĆŖme temps quāil nous rappelle nos limites." La colline inspirĆ©e." 1913
Marconi Monument, in the background the Poldhu Cove Hotel and the Marconi centre, Poldhu, Cornwall, Great Britain.
On the location of the Marconi visitor centre stood from 1900 to 1935 the famous Poldhu wireless station designed by John Ambrose Fleming and erected by the Marconi company of London. On 12 December, 1901 Guglielmo Marconi proved that radio waves could bend round the planet by transmitting the Morse Code letter S from this station to his temporary radio receiver and antenna in Newfoundland. This site in Cornwall was chosen for its westerly location, its freedom from obstruction, for the convenience of the Poldhu Hotel to house his workforce and for its remoteness to keep the project out of the public eye and out of the newspapers. In 1900, Marconi decided to work in secret without the press hounding him or speculating on the outcome of his endeavor. He was only 27 years old at the time and would not be dissuaded by critics. In 1923 and 1924, pioneering shortwave experiments were conducted from Poldhu Station. The Poldhu Wireless Station was dismantled in 1933, four years before the death of Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi's buildings may have gone, except for foundations, but the combined efforts of the Poldhu Amateur Radio Club, the National Trust and the Marconi Company resulted in a permanent Marconi Centre Museum which opened at Poldhu Point in 2004. The earlier monument on the clifftop commemorates Marconi's feat and bears four commemorative plaques.

Just behind the headstone for Mr. Rockefeller is this 70 foot tall obelisk. Other members of the Rockefeller family are also laid to rest surrounding the monument.
As I walked toward the monument, the perspective and light kept changing, so I've include multiple shot.

Standing in the Boston (MA) neighborhood of Jamaica Plain is the "Soldier's Monument", the large white structure honoring the 23 local citizens who died in the Civil War. I've been here previously, but this time taking the picture in black and white with film.

Dinosaur National Monument is a United States National Monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. Although most of the monument area is in Moffat County, Colorado, the Dinosaur Quarry is located in Utah just to the north of the town of Jensen, Utah.
The nearest communities are Jensen, Utah, and Dinosaur, Colorado. The park contains over 800 paleontological sites and has fossils of dinosaurs including Allosaurus, Deinonychus, Abydosaurus (a nearly complete skull, lower jaws and first four neck vertebrae of the specimen DINO 16488 found here at the base of the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation is the holotype for the description) and various long-neck, long-tail sauropods. It was declared a National Monument on October 4, 1915. In April 2019, the International Dark-Sky Association designated Dinosaur National Monument an International Dark Sky Park.
The rock layer enclosing the fossils is a sandstone and conglomerate bed of alluvial or river bed origin known as the Morrison Formation from the Jurassic Period some 150 million years old. The dinosaurs and other ancient animals were carried by the river system which eventually entombed their remains in Utah. The pile of sediments were later buried and lithified into solid rock. The layers of rock were later uplifted and tilted to their present angle by the mountain building forces that formed the Uintas during the Laramide orogeny. The relentless forces of erosion exposed the layers at the surface to be found by paleontologists.
The dinosaur fossil beds (bone beds) were discovered in 1909 by Earl Douglass, a paleontologist working and collecting for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He and his crews excavated thousands of fossils and shipped them back to the museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for study and display. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the dinosaur beds as Dinosaur National Monument in 1915. The monument boundaries were expanded in 1938 from the original 80-acre (320,000 m2) tract surrounding the dinosaur quarry in Utah, to its present extent of over 200,000 acres (800 kmĀ²) in Utah and Colorado, encompassing the spectacular river canyons of the Green and Yampa.
The plans made by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on a ten-dam, billion dollar Colorado River Storage Project began to arouse opposition in the early 1950s when it was announced that one of the proposed dams would be at Echo Park, in the middle of Dinosaur National Monument. The controversy assumed major proportions, dominating conservation politics for years. David Brower, executive director of the Sierra Club, and Howard Zahniser of The Wilderness Society led an unprecedented nationwide campaign to preserve the free-flowing rivers and scenic canyons of the Green and Yampa Rivers. They argued that if a national monument was not safe from development, how could any wildland be kept intact? On the other side of the argument were powerful members of Congress from western states, who were committed to the project in order to secure water rights, obtain cheap hydroelectric power and develop reservoirs as tourist destinations. After much debate, Congress settled on a compromise that eliminated Echo Park Dam and authorized the rest of the project. The Colorado River Storage Project Act became law on April 11, 1956. It stated, "that no dam or reservoir constructed under the authorization of the Act shall be within any National Park or Monument." Historians view the Echo Park Dam controversy as signaling the start of an era that includes major conservationist political successes such as the Wilderness Act and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
