Spruce House, Mesa Verde, Colorado by Adrian Paul
BEST VIEWED LARGE This view of the Spruce House from the opposite side of the valley gives a good idea of how difficult it must have been for the ancient Anasazi people not only to build these structures but also to survive, when the only way in was by rope ladder. Spruce Tree House, the third largest cliff dwelling (Cliff Palace and Long House are larger), was constructed between A.D. 1211 and 1278 by the ancestors of the Puebloan peoples of the Southwest. The dwelling contains about 130 rooms and 8 kivas (kee-vahs), or ceremonial chambers, built into a natural alcove measuring 216 feet (66 meters) at greatest width and 89 feet (27 meters) at its greatest depth. It is thought to have been home for about 60 to 80 people. FEATURED IN AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS

Bison in the Dust, Montana. USA. by PhotosEcosse
The ground was bone dry, and the Bison ( or Buffalo if you wish !) were rather skitterish, kicking up a whole lot of dust, so I took advantage of the moment to produce a more interesting image. The colour shot looked too plain, so in Adobe Photoshop CS3 I converted to b/w, applied a little Orton, dodged and burned here and there, and my final touch was to add some ‘noise’ to enhance the dust, which also looks like mist ! Shot on a Canon EOS 40D, f9.5, 1/350 sec, ( I needed a fast shutter speed and a fairly shallow depth of field ) iso 200, 28-300mm Tamron lens set at 109mm, hand held, RAW file converted in Adobe Camera Raw / CS3 as above.

Family Round Up by Chris Snyder
Here the bull who was the current champion is rounding up part of his herd. This bull was having a time keeping them all together. The park rangers said that this relatively inexperienced bull was being “used” by the more experienced bulls. However, a frequent visitor said that he had defeated the past reigning bull earlier that week…Canon 40D, 70-200 f2.8 lens, two shot pano at 70mm.

mesa verde by Luca Renoldi
Mesa Verde – Colorado Mesa Verde is best known for a large number of well preserved cliff dwellings, houses built in shallow caves and under rock overhangs along the canyon walls. The structures contained within these alcoves were mostly blocks of hard sandstone, held together and plastered with adobe mortar. Specific constructions had many similarities, but were generally unique in form due to the individual topography of different alcoves along the canyon walls. In marked contrast to earlier constructions and villages on top of the mesas, the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde reflected a region-wide trend towards the aggregation of growing regional populations into close, highly defensible quarters during the 1200s.

'The Fork in the Road...' by Scott Bricker
This is a intersection of carriage roads in Acadia National Park, just up from Jordan Pond…the one to the left goes to the amphitheater, and around the mountain…the one to the right continues around the lake…these ‘carriage roads’ were built by the Rockefellers when they owned Mt. Desert Island, used by the ultra-rich purely for their amusement…now great places for easy hiking, horses, and riding bikes (and walks with your dog!)... they wind though the park, placed and built so that they aren’t seen from overlooks, etc… This image brings to mind lyrics from Dan Fogelberg’s “Nether Lands”... ”...Once in a vision / I came on some woods, / And stood at a fork in the road… / My choices were clear, / Yet I froze with the fear / Of not knowing which way to go… / One road was simple, / Acceptance of life… / The other road offered sweet peace… / When I made my decision, / My vision became my release.”........ ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I stand at the ‘fork in the road’... ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: / High on this mountain / The clouds down below / I’m feeling so strong and alive / From this rocky perch / I’ll continue to search / For the wind / And the snow / And the sky / I want a lover / I want some friends / And I want to live in the sun / And I want to do all the things that I / never have done. / Sunny bright mornings / And pale moonlit nights / Keep me from feeling alone / Now, I’m learning to fly / And this freedom is like / Nothing that I’ve ever known / I’ve seen the bottom / And I’ve been on top / But mostly I’ve lived in between / And where do you go / When you get to the end of / your dream? / Off in the nether lands / I heard a sound / Like the beating of heavenly wings / And deep in my brain / I can hear a refrain / Of my soul as she rises and sings / Anthems to glory and / Anthems to love and / Hymns filled with early delight / Like the songs that the darkness / Composes to worship the light. / Once in a vision / I came on some woods / And stood at a fork in the road / My choices were clear / Yet I froze with the fear / Of not knowing which way to go / One road was simple / Acceptance of life / The other road offered sweet peace / When I made my decision / My vision became my release. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Canon EOS T1i, 18/55mm, auto / near Jordan pond, Acadia National Park, Mt.

The division between Big Beach and Little Beach was caused by a lava flow and earthquake in approximately 1790. The hill dividing the beaches is called Pu’u Ola’i or Earthquake Hill. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Currently with 2738 Views, _Mahalo :))) “At the northernmost corner of the Polynesian triangle, the Hawaiian Islands stand as a sentry for a collection of atolls, volcanic remnants, coral blocks and large islands that punctuate the region stretching to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in the south and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the east. Hawai’i is the newest landmass in Polynesia and the most isolated settled area on the globe, rife with unique ecosystems. Maui, sitting in the middle of the main Hawaiian island chain, is young geologically. Haleakala, still volcanically active in the 18th century and now considered dormant, rises 10,023 feet. The older and more eroded West Maui Mountains are 1.3 million years old. The tallest point at Pu’u Kukui – 5,788 feet – is one of the rainiest spots on earth. Ka’anapali is on the leeward side of these mountains of West Maui on the slopes facing the islands of Lana’i, visible on the horizon in this image and the beautiful island of Moloka’i.” Information Source Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 30 September 2009 / This is a composite of two images taken on the same location at the same time stitched one over the other / Currently with 2826 Views
