Old sign for Towanda Plaza Shopping Center, build in 1959. Center has been updated recently. Just wish the neon worked, only the outer edge on the teepee on the south facing side works. Bloomington Illinois

OUR CHANGING LANDSCAPE - FROM SEA FLOOR TO MOUNTAIN TOP

Colorado's geologic history goes back nearly two billion years. Several mountain ranges have been uplifted and eroded away before the rise of today’s Rocky Mountains. The landscape you see in front of you has undergone many dramatic changes. This story starts at 80 million years ago.

 

The sea covers Colorado: 80 million years ago

Today’s Rocky Mountains did not exist. Where you are standing and all before you was beneath a shallow sea that covered the middle of the North American continent. Today, marine fossils are found in the sediments deposited at that time (Pierre Formation).

 

Sea retreats as mountains begin to rise, dinosaurs leave footprints near subtropical coal swamps: 68 million years ago

As the seas withdrew. Sand, mud, and clay were deposited neat the shore. (Fox Hills Formation). Coal formed near rivers in swamps (Laramie Formation). The environment was warm with ample rainfall. These sedimentary rocks now lie beneath the City of Golden. You can see dinosaur tracks and large leaf fossils in the Laramie Formation along the Triceratops Trail in Golden (see other sign).

  

The mountains rise higher: 68-65 million years ago

Uplift of the Laramide Rocky Mountains began about 68 million years ago. Rock fragments from the newly raised mountains are found in the sediments exposed in the Golden area (Arapahoe and Denver Formations).

 

Volcanic eruptions nearby: 65-64 million years ago

64 million years ago, lava covered the area forming the rock now at the top of the Table Mountains. The source of the lava was Ralston Dike north of Golden (see other sign)

 

The Rockies today: 63 million years to the present

During that time period, the Laramide mountains were eroded, and the rock debris was deposited on the plains about to the level where you are standing on Lookout Mountain. Later, rivers from the high mountains cut deep canyons such as Clear Creek canyon. Along thè mountain front, the softer rocks were eroded leaving the hard rock as Dakota Hogback, the Table Mountains, and the rocks under your feet.

This sign at the University of Canberra seems to indicate that the room can be slept in - any other suggestions about what is might mean? This was not at the library.

In the village. I misread this to start with - I thought the bunnys were over 18 only which is quite old for any rabbit let alone a baby one. No wonder the children quickly lose interest. 18 year old rabbits probably need a lot of naps.

 

Ooo! I just realised that whoever wrote this did it from the inside and therefore had to write backwards/mirrored. No wonder by the end of the notice they seem a bit crabby. Hard work.

A very popular sign for photographers next to the canal by the entrance to the dark arches.

They took this with them, but I managed to get a photo of it first.

Went for a short walk today, the sun was shining and the temp a little bit warmer and then to top it off I saw these to me a clear sign of spring :)

Sign on a church wall. Only one thing could make this sign even better, and that would be including a threat: "Violators will be persecuted."

A handmade sign found in the boonies... way up in the mountains.

This one appears to read "Lincoln Auto Repair", as far as I can tell.

Portland Saturday Market was the brainchild of two women, Sheri Teasdale and Andrea Scharf. Both were artists living in the area who had sold at the Saturday Market in Eugene; their idea was to create a similar style of market in downtown Portland. Beginning in December 1973, the two visited everyone they could think of in the city to sell their idea: an open-air market of all handmade food and craft items. Artists would have an economic outlet for their work, customers would gain better access to locally-produced items, and the city would have a new attraction to draw customers into the downtown area.

 

Since opening in 1974, the Portland Saturday Market has become the largest continually operating outdoor arts and crafts market in the nation. It's located under the Burnside bridge in Portland’s historic Old Town the Market, and is one of the most popular shopping destinations for local handcrafted goods.
