Register Cliff, Wyoming





"Register Cliff", Wyoming". I hope you can see the signatures, for once what we call today "graffiti" is art & a true masterpiece of all the folks who were traveling the "Oregon Trail". After reading the signs there we found that the black hole in the shot there is where they would keep their items to keep them cool, a fridge of sorts. Beth ( :

I know a lot of people did have that habit travelling through the West back in the day of leaving these markers.

That kind of refrigeration wouldn't travel very well, though . . too bad we can't send some coolers back in time for those brave people . . . maybe some peanut butter, and . . what else would be pack for them? Wouldn't it be super fun to send a 21st Century Care package to those travelers??? How surprised they would be . . and, would they have fun imagining people of the future visiting the idea of them in their cool cave . . . love & love, -g-

Hi Beth...

I just read your comment/question regarding photo watermarks. I use a software program to make them. Paintshop Pro. I can design my own with graphics and text then save them as PSP tubes then...use the same over and over again.

I'm sure there are free sites out there that will allow you to make a watermark and save them to your computer to copy and paste into your images.

And....don't let anyone dishearten you about the use of a watermark/copyright. They're YOUR photos. And the purpose is to discourage stealing or using an image on their site that isn't their's to begin with.

This would be really interesting to see in person. Reminds me of "Newspaper Rock," one covered in Native American petroglyphs. I think it's in Utah.

That's really interesting! The US is so much earlier colonised than Canada.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

This post is in memory of my friend: Tina Forrester aka. "CameraGirl". She and her husband were lost this week in a tragic car accident. Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond" . We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
