Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. is ranked the 10th largest urban park in the United States, more than twice the size of Central Park in New York City. The parklands follow the course of Rock Creek as it cuts through the District of Columbia into Maryland. Recreation facilities include a golf course; equestrian trails; sport venues, including a tennis stadium which hosts major professional events; a nature center and planetarium; an outdoor concert venue; and picnic and playground facilities. Rock Creek Park also maintains cultural exhibits, including the Peirce Mill and Civil War fortifications, such as Fort Stevens and Fort DeRussy. Rock Creek is a popular venue for jogging, cycling, and inline skating, especially on the long, winding Beach Drive, as well as the path of a major traffic thoroughfare, the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway. Rock Creek Park was founded in 1890 as one of the first federal parks of the United States, and the “Rock Creek Historic District” has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 23, 1991. This photograph was taken from the William Taft Bridge which crosses a deep gulch in the park about three miles from the White House.

Shore of an island in the fog, taken Friday October 24th, 2008 in the early morning, Lake of Two Mountains, Deux-Montagnes, Quebec CANADA / Despite the mist the color of the trees is still visible. “Like a man travelling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them.” ~ Benjamin Franklin Featured in the group Communities November 2009
A 3 Shot HDR processed in Photomatix Pro Camera Fuji S100FS Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation. The castle’s floor area is approximately 484,000 square feet (44,965 square metres). Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining. Her other two residences, Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle, are the Royal Family’s private homes. Most of the Kings and Queens of England, later Kings and Queens of Great Britain, and later still kings and queens of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth realms, have had a direct influence on the construction and evolution of the castle, which has been their garrison fortress, home, official palace, and sometimes their prison. Chronologically the history of the castle can be traced through the reigns of the monarchs who have occupied it. When the country has been at peace, the castle has been expanded by the additions of large and grand apartments; when the country has been at war, the castle has been more heavily fortified. This pattern has continued to the present day.

This old train trestle goes over one of our local highways. It has been there for many years. I don’t believe the trains travel across it anymore. I have never seen one on it. The photo was taken with a Kodak Easyshare camera and texture was added with Picasa. /

LA PUSH, WASHINGTON IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GO AND VISIT. Yes it is a seaport. La Push is 12 miles from Forks Washington is home to the Quileute Tribe. According to legend, the tribe was created from wolves by a supernatural transformer. The tribe’s lineage stretches back thousands of years to the Ice Age, making them possibly the oldest inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest. Tribal members built cedar canoes that ranged in size from two-man to ocean-going freight vessels capable of carrying three tons. They ranked second only to the Makah as whalers, and first among all the tribes as sealers. Special woolly-hared dogs were bred, and their hair spun into prized blankets. According to the stories, the Quileutes only kin, the Chimacum, were separated from them by a great flood that swept them to the Quimper Peninsula on the other side of the North Olympic Peninsula, where they were wiped out by Chief Seattle and the Suquamish Tribe in the 1860s. First official contacts with the white man occurred in 1855, when the Quileutes signed a treaty with representatives of Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens. A treaty a year latter would have moved them to a reservation in Taholah, but the Quileute territory was so remote it wasn’t enforced. In February 1889, an executive order by President Grover Cleveland established a one mile square reservation a LaPush which, at the time, had 252 inhabitants. While villagers were picking hops in Puyallup, the town was destroyed by arson in 1889. Today, Lapush has ocean front resorts, a seafood company, fish hatchery and a new marina.

Times Square by Marianne Faithfull In a tired part of the city / Hiding from the fast talk / Watch ‘Don’t walk’ to ‘Walk’ / Easy when you’re dreaming / Staring at the movies / Standing in a circle, / Laughing at the wrong time. If alcohol could take me there. / I’d take a shot a minute / And be there by the hour. Take a walk around Times Square / With a pistol in my suitcase / And my eyes on the TV. In a car taking a back seat / Staring out the window / Thinking about danger. / Playing in a wrong world / Fighting — but I’m not free. / Talking on the telephone / Talking about you and me. If Jesus Christ could take me here / I’d fall dawn on my knees, / Have no questions to His answers. Take a walk around Times Square / With a pistol in my suitcase / And my eyes on the TV. Alcohol could take me there. / I’d take a shot a minute / And be there by the hour. Take a walk around Times Square / With a pistol in my suitcase / And my eyes on the TV. And if I die gaining my senses / Wake up in a hotel / Staring at the ceiling. Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA Olympus SP570 UZ
