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.

Cascadia State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Oregon near Sweet Home along the South Santiam River at Cascadia. The park includes a day use area, campsites, hiking trails and 150 foot Lower Soda Creek Falls. In 1896, George Geisendorfer opened a resort to capitalize on what he called the "curative powers" of Soda Creek's mineral spring water. The resort included a hotel, tennis courts, croquet course, garden and bowling alley. The hotel later burned and the property was acquired by the state of Oregon in 1940.

Leard State Forest is approximately 8000 hectares of bushland located between Narrabri and Boggabri in north west NSW. The nearest township is the farming community of Maules Creek, which sits at the foothills of the Nandewar Range.
Leard State Forest includes the most extensive and intact stands of the nationally-listed and critically endangered Box-Gum Woodland remaining on the Australian continent. The forest is home to 396 species of plants and animals and includes habitat for 34 threatened species and several endangered ecological communities.
Open-cut coal mining threatens to destroy more than half of the Leard State Forest.

Excerpt from the Second State of the Nation Address of President Joseph Ejercito-Estrada delivered on July 26, 1999:
"Nang ako’y hinirang na maging kapitan ng barko ng ating sambayanan, ito ay kasalukuyang palubog na sa maalong dagat ng Asian crisis. Sabi ko sa aking sarili: ang ganda naman ng timing ng aking pagsakay. Hinahampas ng hangin at alon ang barko. At lalong masama, kakaunti na lang ang gasolina ng kanyang tangke. Paano natin ngayon dadalhin ang barkong ito sa ligtas na lugar hanggang makalipas ang malupit na panahon?
Mabuti na lamang, ang aming team ng mga kilalang dalubhasa sa kanya-kanyang linya ay nagkaisa sa pagpapasya kung paano lulutasin ang mga problema na ating hinaharap noon. Sa pamamagitan ng aming pagtutulungan, pagsisikap, at mga tamang pamamalakad, napaayos namin ang paggalaw ng barko. Nang sumikat ang araw, ang karamihan ng mga ibang barko ay nakalubog pa rin at nagsisikap pang umahon, ngunit ang barko ng Pilipinas ay nakalutang na sa liwanag ng araw."

This shot is from my visit to Eastern State Penitentiary in April of 2009. I really enjoyed visiting this historic building. There is something for everyone. The photography subjects require several visits. You could walk down one corridor at different times of the day and see it in an entirely different light. Certain features pop out at you immediately, while others are subtle. This is a great preservation project and I hope that we will develop more sites like this in the future.
This was one of my favorite images captured from that visit. Until now I didn't want to touch it because I wanted to hone my editing skills a little more so that I could do this just the image it deserved. I hope to post a few more from this series of photos. I am also looking forward to visiting again in the near future.
Let me know what you think of this image. I had a great deal of fun editing this image.

An early morning visit to the State Theater in Ely, MN eliminated cars parked on the street and enabled a clear shot of this old marquee. This is one of the buildings scheduled for redevelopment by an Missouri entrepreneur with a fondness for Ely and renovating old historical buildings.

The Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP[4]) is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is found at 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of the city, and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.[5] Notorious criminals such as bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone were held inside its innovative wagon wheel design. When the building was erected it was the largest and most expensive public structure ever constructed, quickly becoming a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide. It was designed as a panopticon.
October 28, 2022 - Far Rockaway - Governor Kathy Hochul today marked the 10-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy by announcing the creation of the Office of Resilient Homes and Communities, a new office to lead New York's housing recovery and community resiliency efforts. The new Office of Resilient Homes and Communities will build on the work of the Governor's Office of Storm Recovery, which was created in 2013 to manage the State's long-term recovery from Superstorm Sandy and oversee the expenditure of $4.5 billion of federal disaster recovery funds provided by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013. As a permanent office within Homes and Community Renewal, the Office of Resilient Homes and Communities will assume Governor's Office of Storm Recovery's portfolio and partner with the State's disaster-response agencies to lead the long-term recovery for homes and communities and develop a pipeline of resiliency initiatives and strategies across the State.

The State House is home to the South Carolina General Assembly, including the State House of Representatives and State Senate. The Governor's office is also here. Construction on the building began in 1851, but the first structure was dismantled due to defective materials and the original architect was dismissed for fraud and dereliction of duty.
Work on the new structure began in 1855. It was still under construction near the close of the War Between the States in 1965. That's when General Sherman's Union Army swept through Columbia, February 17, burning much of the city and firing cannonballs at the incomplete and undefended capitol building, before setting it on fire.
The capitol building was not completed until 1907. Today, the copper-domed granite structure wears six bronze stars to mark hits from Sherman's cannons.

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- In a demonstration of the growing partnership between Presidio and neighboring Cal State Monterey Bay, the university hosted Military Appreciation Day during their men’s and women’s NCAA Division II Soccer matchup against Cal State Los Angeles, Oct. 18.
Service members, veterans, DoD civilians and their families were admitted free of charge and provided a complimentary meal at the Otter Sports Complex as division rivals battled and entertained during two high-caliber, competitive soccer games.
A pre-game ceremony was held in which “Otter Pups” from the Presidio’s youth center stood side by side with the CSUMB men’s team while the national anthem was performed by Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s Joint Service Choir and DLIFLC’s Honorary Joint Service Color Guard paraded the colors.
Capt. Kevin Bertelsen, commander Naval Support Activities Monterey, conducted the coin toss to start an exciting men’s game in which CSUMB, playing a man down due to penalties, tied the game with three seconds left only to lose 1-2 in sudden death overtime. The women Otters won their game 2-1.
