We took a day trip down the coast to Whakatane because I needed to see a specialist at the hospital and on the way back to Tauranga we stopped for awhile to take in the views. It is always a nice drive, the coastline is always worth exploring along the way.
I recently posted an image from a road trip. A number of Flickr contacts commented on how much they enjoy road trips, or would like to. Why? There are a number of reasons, but this image from Tower Rock State Park speaks to one of them: road trips can be learning experiences.
Tower Rock State Park is near the community of Cascade in the state of Montana. The centerpiece of the park is Tower Rock, a 424-foot -high rock formation which marks the entrance to the Missouri River Canyon in the Adel Mountains Volcanic Field. It was well known to Native Americans, and considered a sacred place by the Piegan Blackfeet.
Tower Rock received its current name when Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition visited the site in 1805. Railroad and highway development in the late 1800s and 1900s skirted Tower Rock, but the landform itself remained pristine. The 87.2 acres encompassing Tower Rock was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 2002. The 140-acre Tower Rock State Park was created around the National Historic Site in 2004.
On my road trip, I didn't linger in Tower Rock State Park. But after I composed this image, I read about it. I learned that Montana had hosted volcanic eruptions, that there is an Adel Mountain Range, that this was Lewis and Clark territory, that the land is considered sacred by some, that it would be interesting to spend some time there.
Thinking about last year trips. It was wonderful. This year have a different vibe completely, strange atmosphere out there, like the nature knows what's happening. Or maybe it is just me tired.
I took a little trip to visit a familiar location, Maison de L'amitie. Never a disappointment! See my post for more information, including what I am wearing.

M-CHIGAL snakes through Lemont as the clouds roll in and blot out the sun for the rest of the day.
Can't even imagine how many times these units have traveled this route in the past.

Singapur es un popular destino turístico, por lo cual el turismo es uno de los sectores económicos más grandes del país. Aproximadamente 7,8 millones de turistas visitaron el país en 2006 y esa cifra subió a 10,2 millones en 2007.
El distrito comercial de Orchard Road es una de las atracciones más famosas que ofrece Singapur. Para atraer a más visitantes, el gobierno decidió en 2005 legalizar el juego y permitir que se construyeran dos casinos o centros turísticos integrados en la zona de Marina South y la isla de Sentosa. Para competir con rivales regionales como Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokio y Shangai, el gobierno dio el permiso de utilizar luces sobre las fachadas de los edificios públicos y privados para que la zona central se transformara en un lugar más emocionante. Asimismo, se ha promovido la comida como elemento de la atracción de Singapur, por lo cual se organiza la Singapore Food Festival cada julio.
