Taken from the cog rail of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. This was during fall and there are varied fall colours on the mountains. Mount washington by itself has very little color to display. On a side not, it is officially the worst weather in the world.
The state of Washington's second highest peak, at 12, 289 feet. It rises 8,000 feet above it's surrounding lanscape. (Deschutes River Recreation Area IMG_5097.jpg)
Mount Baker glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. About 30 miles (48 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current volcanic cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 9 mi (14.5 km) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (29 m; 95 ft).
Mount Baker is the third-highest mountain in Washington and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia, and to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.

It was a good day for Mountains yesterday. These are located South of Mt. Baker. I'm sorry I don't know the name of them.

Washington Mews is a small street with a very long history. Originally part of the main foot path connecting the east and west side of Manhattan Island used by the Native American Lenape a term to describe the loose collection of tribes of the region that spoke very similar dialects and customs which were renamed the Delaware's by the Europeans. Back in the 18th century most of the land was still farmland and a large parcel was brought by Captain Robert Richard Randall a wealthy ship owner who brought the 24 acre parcel of land for 5000 pounds back when New York was still an English colony. In 1801 Captain Randall died and bequeathed in his will that the land be used for the construction for sailor homes called Sailor's Snug Harbor with a trust set from his estate to be used to run it. However a long legal battle from the children of his half brother dragged on for many years. The end result of the legal battle was the land was leased out for various commercial purposes and income from the leasing of the land the home for retired sailors was built in Staten Island. Starting in 1854 a series of stables was built along the street which were used by some of the wealthiest families in the city at the time. In 1916 the stables were remodeled into artists studios by the architectural firm Maynicke & Franke and around 1950 the buildings were leased out to New York University which converted the buildings to office and living space for top ranking faculty and administrators. The buildings also now have protected landmark status and one of the few streets in New York City that still has cobblestones.
I recently took a day trip and started a long project about cemeteries. I don't know where it's going or why, really. But there I am.
This is the stone of Dorothe Jasman, born in Russia in 1867. Her husband, Ferdinand was as well.
They had seven children, four of whom moved to Canada. The remaining three lived in Washington for the rest of their days.
Unlike many (most) families of the era, all of the children lived well into adulthood, with the youngest dying at age 63.
Ferdinand died due to complications of venous thrombosis as his left foot had turned gangrenous. It was amputated and he never recovered.
I saw this small detail on the stone and, with the shadow cast by the morning sun, thought it would make for a nice photo. The blowing grasses opposite added to the composition. Though it looks well-placed, I didn't notice the "Rest in Peace" until after the photo was developed and scanned. Sometimes that's the way it goes.

Twisp is a town in Okanogan County, Washington, United States. The population was 938 at the 2000 census and decreased to 919 at the 2010 census. The name of Twisp comes from the Okanagan placename /txʷəc'p/, meaning "wasp" or "yellowjacket". It was settled by H.C. Glover, and the townsite was plotted in 1897.
There's a feeling when you're standing near the edge of just wanting to fly off.

The beautiful Cedar Creek Grist Mill, located in southern Washington. The mill was built in 1876. This was one of those bucket-list places that we needed to visit when we were in Portland.
