Top of the "Kitchen tent"
This tent was not quite finished being set up - so I snapped this before my "sun view" was covered.

A painterly version of one of my photos taken last year.
The skeleton of a mini-teepee, made out of stainless steel forks. We were attending a wedding at the time, and I was playing around with my utensils. Constanta, Romania. (File: RPOP-2009-04-3318)
Teepee Mountain in the Hughes Range of the Canadian Rockies.
I was just heading north up towards Banff and Lake Louise when I saw this. It was the very start of a road trip and I was already being treated to some beautiful scenery as I drove through the Rocky Mountain Trench in the East Kootenays.

This used to have a lot of neon, now not so much. There's also nothing even remotely related to Native Americans, so there's that.
For sprinkling wee wee....
Changing diaper for boy is a breeze when you put this cone on top. It made out of flannel and felt.

last weekend, I helped some friends build a shed in Winthrop, WA. I took a walk around and found this teepee and horse at a neighboring property. Made for a nice picture.
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unkown, secret place. The old people came literally to love the soil, and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power. Their teepees were built upon the earth and their altars were made of earth. The soul was soothing, strengthening, cleansing, and healing. That is why the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead of propping himself up and away from its life giving forces. For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives about him.

"The Patch" is home to the Midland Sportmans Club Inc. Located in Midland, Allegany County, Maryland, United States. This teepee is situated next to the pond. The Fall foliage is in full force.
Information about Midland, Maryland:
Midland is a town in Allegany County, Maryland, United States, located along the Georges Creek Valley. It is part of the Cumberland, MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 473 at the 2000 census.
The town of Midland is 1,600 feet (490 m) above sea level, is located 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Frostburg, Maryland and 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Lonaconing, Maryland. Paradise Run and Neff's Run carry the precipitation from Dan's Mountain on the east to Georges Creek, while Squirrel Neck Run feeds it from the west off of Savage Mountain. Some say that Midland derived its name from its location, some say it was named after the Midlands in Scotland by the Scottish settlers.
Midland is proud of its two churches—St. Joseph's Catholic Church and Grace United Methodist Church. Both were established in 1891. The bells of St. Joe’s and the chimes of Grace ring out daily from the hill at the edge of town where the churches sit side by side.
About a mile beyond the town's limits, anyone making the climb to the top of the magnificent outcropping known as Dan's Rock is rewarded with an incomparable view of the eastern end of the county and nearby West Virginia. Generations of townsfolk and visitors have marveled at the spectacular sunrises and sunsets seen from this highest point in Allegany County.
Midland was founded in 1850 as a coal-mining community in the heart of the George's Creek Valley, once a major center of the nation’s coal industry. But coal production started to decline after World War I, and today only some strip mining remains as the last vestige of this once all important industry. Coal trains that once went through the town daily now pass only once or twice a month.
Most of the original settlers came in response to the abundance of jobs available in the coal mines. Many were Irish, but German, Scottish, and Welsh names also are found in the early records of the town.
Once a bustling town with big stores, a hotel, and an opera house, Midland today projects a friendly laid-back atmosphere. A convenience store offers the basic necessities, but major shopping is done in the larger communities of Frostburg, LaVale, and Cumberland. The post office in the heart of town is the gathering point for the townspeople to meet and chat.

The Tent Rocks were a little known BLM site before their elevation to national monument status in January 2001, but now the area has improved access and facilities, and sees a steady stream of visitors. Kasha-Katuwe is a Keresan phrase meaning 'white cliffs', Keres being the traditional language of the pueblo tribes of northern New Mexico. The teepee-like formations cover a small area but are quite remarkable, unique in the Southwest - hundreds of white, pinkish or grey spires, sharply conical in shape, lacking any covering vegetation, that occur in several groups on the east side of Peralta Canyon, on the Pajarito Plateau 40 miles west of Santa Fe.
The rocks were formed by erosion of thick layers of pumice and tuff, and since the overlying sandstone strata are more resistant to erosion, residual pieces form caprocks over the ash, which, being so soft, erodes rapidly downwards, creating the tall spires. If a cap rock is dislodged, the spire quickly (in geological timescales) weathers away, though new ones gradually form further up the hillside. The tuff is a remnant of explosive volcanic eruptions of between 6 and 7 million years ago
