In Denali NP, there are many types of wildlife to be spotted, but most consider it a goal to view the "top 5": moose, grizzly bear, wolf, dall sheep, & the caribou. In DNP, there are roughly 2,000 caribou which roam the park dining on lichens, sedges, shrubs & willows. There are 32 known herds of Alaskan caribou and over 1 million caribou in the state of Alaska.
This is a shot of one of the numerous fairly close sightings we had of the DNP caribou. It was just grazing in the open tundra not too far of the road.
Unlike other wildlife, both the males & females grow antlers.
For those who think this looks a bit like Rudolph, caribou and reindeer are actually the same animals - just that reindeer are domesticated.
Road outside Schleswig, IA, Sept. 12, 2015. My father-in-law, who loved to drive, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away this summer. My husband and I were about to begin another step in the finalization process when we spotted this view outside his hometown...the hidden road surrounded by corn fields, windmills, and clear blue sky was like a little sign from him: the road didn't end—we just can't see what's beyond the horizon.

Don't you just love finding mysterious new places whether it be remote and far away or wether it is in a very familiar place under your own nose.
Ever go through your old files looking RE-Process them. Here is one mine, this was a pain masking job at the time with my limited skills and white balancing options. I wonder what it will look like redone (throw it in the pile for that)? Here is one unfortunate thing, I didn't kow about color profiling some of my older files on my own website have not been converted to SRGB for the web so the color is not showing up. More work to do in finding all of them.

The historic Philip Frankel & Co. building at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, stands as a beautifully preserved testament to the town’s vibrant 19th-century commercial history. Nestled on High Street, this red brick structure features characteristic black shutters, a charming second-story balcony, and an ornate iron sign that proudly proclaims “Philip Frankel & Co.” The building’s distinctive architecture reflects Harpers Ferry’s unique position at the crossroads of commerce, trade, and industry in the 1800s.
During the late 19th century, Harpers Ferry was a bustling town filled with shops, factories, and visitors arriving by train or canal boat. The Philip Frankel & Co. building was one of the busiest mercantile establishments in town, offering a wide variety of goods ranging from boots and shoes to hats and dry goods. The storefront windows, carefully restored, now display historical reproductions of merchandise that might have lined the shelves in the 1870s, including boots, hats, and other essential items for travelers and townsfolk alike.
The building itself is a study in classic commercial design of its time: three stories of sturdy brick construction with large storefront windows designed to draw in customers. The black shutters and trim details give the building a dignified appearance, while the iron balcony adds a touch of elegance. Its prominent location on High Street made it a hub for local trade, and it played a key role in serving the growing community.
Today, visitors to Harpers Ferry can step back in time as they stroll by this building, imagining the lively conversations, bustling trade, and sights and sounds that once filled its halls. The National Park Service has worked diligently to preserve its historical character, ensuring that generations to come can appreciate the architecture and significance of the Philip Frankel & Co. store.
Harpers Ferry itself is a treasure trove of history, from its role in the Civil War to its significance in the struggle for African American freedom, including John Brown’s famous raid. The Philip Frankel & Co. building stands as a silent witness to these events, offering a tangible connection to the town’s storied past.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or simply someone who appreciates beautifully preserved heritage sites, the Philip Frankel & Co. building is a must-see landmark. It embodies the spirit of Harpers Ferry’s rich history and invites visitors to explore the town’s enduring legacy.
