Jackson's Saw Mill Covered Bridge by Monte Morton
Featured in Americas ~ Rural, Urban, Wild, & Free Featured in Fall in the North-East USA 11/09 Featured in Historic Places 11/09 Featured in A Place To Call Home 11/09 Featured in Barns & Old Grist Mills and Covered Bridges from around the World 12/09 The bridge was built in 1878 by John Smith and Samuel Stauffer. Jackson’s Sawmill Covered Bridge or Eichelberger’s Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans the West Branch of the Octoraro Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. A county-owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the West Octoraro #1 Bridge. The bridge is purportedly the only covered bridge in the county that is not built perpendicular to the stream it crosses due to the placement of the sawmill on one side of the bridge and the rock formations faced by the builders on the other side. In 1986 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as structure number 80003520. The bridge can be found in Bart Township, 3.25 miles to the east of Quarryville and 1.5 miles south of Pennsylvania Route 372 on Mt Pleasant Road. Due to its remote location in an isolated part of the county, it is seen less than many of the county’s other covered bridges that are closer to the major populations centers such as Lancaster. If there is a Covered Bridge out there for you to see…it’s this one! 100% donated to “The ART for Cancer Group”

Pihanakalani ~ Haleakala Volcano ~ The House of the Sun by Sharon Mau
Ala hea ka la ~ Haleakala ~ The Sacred House of the Sun Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. / Reproduction is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved. Gazing into the mouth of the volcano. Imagine many of the cinder cones and spouts you are seeing are over 600 feet high, and that is not steam as Haleakala is sleeping, dormant in perceived inactivity since 1792, but clouds as I am standing at the summit at 10,023 feet above sea level. You may notice the tiny roads used by scientists to study the protected region within the volcano. Haleakala is a shield volcano. Built up from the ocean floor by countless eruptions, it was once a mountain that rose several thousand feet higher than today’s elevation. On the right between the peaks you will notice Kaupo Gap. Haleakala dominates the east side of the Valley Isle and is sacred to the Hawaiian people. The mountain’s face is a mighty wall looming over the valley. Haleakala’s width spans 20 miles, ocean-to-ocean, splitting Maui in two. The depression at the top of Haleakala is not actually a volcanic crater, but an erosional valley. During a period of inactivity, erosion became the dominant force. Wind, ice and water carved the top of Haleakala, which may have been more than 5,000 feet higher than the summit is today. After the valley was created, Haleakala entered a “renewed volcanism” period. This renewed volcanic activity partially filled the valley with lava flows and small hills called cinder cones. True craters exist at the tops of some of the cinder cones.

Autumn Whale Blows by whalegeek
Humpback whales and blows backlit by the last rays of the sun during a SE Alaska late Fall day. November days in Alaska being very short, the sun would fully set within about 15” of this photo being taken. I love backlit whale blows. On windless, cold weather days such as when this image was taken, whale exhalations take form, swirling into beautiful patterns while being back lit by the low angle of the sun. Depending upon from what angle the sun illuminates the whale blows, sometimes they appear a golden honey color while other times the blows appear to be molten silver. During late Fall, SE Alaskan humpback whales congregate in large groups in remote Inside Passage waterways, usually far from where humans live. Since no boats nor many fishing vessels are out and about at this time of the year (October into January), very few people witness these large concentrations of humpback whales. It is estimated that approximately 200 humpback whales were feeding in the waters where this image was taken. Prior to their migration to mating and birthing grounds in Hawaiian waters, these leviathans gorge on food, largely tiny krill, following their food source into deep fjords where they consume upwards of a ton of food per day. Often working in small groups of two to four humpback whales, This November I also witnessed several larger groups of feeding whales numbering from eight to twelve individuals. They appeared to be feeding cooperatively although it was very difficult to discern from above the waves. A hydrophone broadcast interesting vocalizations on the part of the whales, chortling, burping, groaning and chattering while on the surface prior to deep dives while creating vastly different sounds when underwater. Anyone speak whale out there who can tell me what they were saying??? SE Alaska, USA November 2, 2009 c. 3:29 pm Canon 40D, Tamron 28-75mm lens, shutter 1/500, f/8.0, exposure bias -0.33, ISO 400.

Tohono O'odham shell vendor by Linda Sparks
This Tohono O’odham lady’s elegant hands impressed me first. A closer look revealed old scars and tiny cuts for a lifetime of stringing these tiny shells into lovely necklaces. She also had for sale intricate baskets woven by her people. Known far and wide, the Papago baskets are the best quality. The Papago name was given to the Tohono O’odham by the Spanish but they have now reverted to their tribal name. I gave her a better background. Taken with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
