  1. Jackson Square is viewed from the podium near the Mississippi River levee. This is one of the grandest plazas in the USA, due in part to the influence of the Spanish and French colonists who took turns ruling Louisiana as a colony --- until Napoleon sold it to the USA through the efforts of Thomas Jefferson in 1803. ...

  2. The Louisiana State Capitol is the tallest such building in the USA and has an observation deck on its 34th floor. The building itself is constructed, like most skyscrapers, using a steel frame. In this case, Alabama limestone clads the building and the stone has bas-relief sculptures in the Art-Deco style to depict ...

  3. In late August 2010, my brother, nephew and a friend climbed to the top of Mt. Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Maine, via the celebrated Knife Edge Trail, leaving from Chimney Pond Campground. We actually experienced a brief sleet squall on the way to the top --- in late August! There is a large cairn of small stones ...

  4. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, is famous for the annual street party known as Mardi Gras (french for "Fat Tuesday"). This takes place on the day before Ash Wednesday which is the beginning of the religious period of Lent, a traditional time of repentance and contrition among Roman Catholics. Since New Orleans was found...

  5. When state legislators decided to move the Louisiana capitol from New Orleans (it was thought to hold too many distractions for the politicians), the city of Baton Rouge offered land on the bluff above the Mississippi where the French explorers found "Le Baton Rouge" (the red stick) which marked a ceremonial boundary b...

  6. This panorama of the Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) harbour ("harbor" in USA lingo) was taken in the Fall of 2007 from scaffolding at the top of the Canada Public Works building, which was undergoing renovations to its exterior sandstone. This is an art deco building downtown which served as Halifax's main post office ...

  7. Recently cleaned of several centuries of grime, the North Portal was constructed between 1210 and 1220. The overall Cathedral building project itself somehow survived a catastrophic fire in 1194 while the Cathedral was under construction (the Cathedral was begun in 1134 and finished almost 130 years later in 1260 --- ...

  8. Taken in May 2007 at a small shop on the Oltrarno side of the Arno River in Florence (Firenze, Italie), Italy, near the Ponte Vecchio, probably on Borgo San Jacobo, but can't be certain. Taken by Shadowfax11. The detail of the patterns in the ties and the colours and, of course, the novel display are the attraction h...

It is on the North Mountain (really a ridge), which, together with the South Mountain ridge, forms "The Valley", the most fertile agricultural district in Nova Scotia --- famous for apples, pears, plums, grapes,berries and cherries and a...

  10. Scholars say that stained glass performed a didactic function: the peasants were illiterate in Medieval times and the clergy would use these colourful pictures in the windows to enhance their telling of Bible stories. But in a place like Chartres cathedral, the transporting ability of sunlight, colour, and glass take...
