On December 27, the Union army pushed their lines forward through the swamps toward the Walnut Hills, which were strongly defended. On December 28, several futile attempts were made to get around these defenses. On December 29, Sherman ordered a frontal assault, which was repulsed with heavy casualties, and then withdrew.

Preceding the landing, the U.S. Navy conducted torpedo clearing operations on the Yazoo, during which the ironclad USS Cairo was sunk.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3DAnUyUhd2hLZAZC4wyQg663EkL9LhYoKiLma1mt07RH1DRMqT6sS2cd3hn06KLmWTxwbWl6EfUY9f3pVPDby-Xq1f7Is6-xvP168cJLVHHKScyODi7M9JaVPIXayV85EUtrrtOZUFM7V0_h-HPoxEba2W6vTGRIQqT7rKz_-cSwN1asNIkjoLaZ_-s5D/s1000/ChickasawBayou-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="860" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3DAnUyUhd2hLZAZC4wyQg663EkL9LhYoKiLma1mt07RH1DRMqT6sS2cd3hn06KLmWTxwbWl6EfUY9f3pVPDby-Xq1f7Is6-xvP168cJLVHHKScyODi7M9JaVPIXayV85EUtrrtOZUFM7V0_h-HPoxEba2W6vTGRIQqT7rKz_-cSwN1asNIkjoLaZ_-s5D/s16000/ChickasawBayou-1.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">This photo is of a soldier sitting next to Chickasaw Bayou, north of

Pemberton, a Pennsylvanian who chose to fight for the South. The officer in direct command of the defenses of Vicksburg was Maj. Gen. Martin L. Smith, who commanded four brigades led by Brig. Gens. Seth M. Barton, John C. Vaughn, John Gregg, and Edward D. Tracy. Brig. Gen. Stephen D. Lee commanded a provisional division with brigades commanded by Cols. William T. Withers and Allen Thomas; Lee was the primary commander of the Confederate defense in the Walnut Hills until the arrival late on December 29 of Maj. Gen. Carter L. Stevenson. Although the Union forces outnumbered the men to their front by two to one (30,720 to 13,792), they faced a formidable maze of both natural and man-made defenses. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6F_AE5vWgY4u8PII-EJmuubZMFl-bbc40T_rgGiMORHsjEwwnDSeENHh1oNTmU7p34vYMHxpSEpYQpGtyCb0AHXm0lfzs58oPa-DQNrgbTCCfsN70vwU0SLUT29Dch98WEWIzfxa7xIpxLyrYk7bc52Tu-PFQH8UDGLmEaSjeXeKMBs1Am8bUWJDnXfCT/s1326/Sans%20titre-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1326" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6F_AE5vWgY4u8PII-EJmuubZMFl-bbc40T_rgGiMORHsjEwwnDSeENHh1oNTmU7p34vYMHxpSEpYQpGtyCb0AHXm0lfzs58oPa-DQNrgbTCCfsN70vwU0SLUT29Dch98WEWIzfxa7xIpxLyrYk7bc52Tu-PFQH8UDGLmEaSjeXeKMBs1Am8bUWJDnXfCT/s16000/Sans%20titre-1.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Up. left Martin L.

For almost four hours, an artillery duel took place all along the line of battle, but did little damage. At 11 a.m., the duel ceased, and the infantry deployed into their lines of battle. Understanding the formidable nature of the Confederate fortifications, Sherman remarked, "We will lose 5,000 men before we take Vicksburg, and may as well lose them here as anywhere else. »<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3yi3F3Cp9xIpAd8FlzWvD9iCwHzOCMQoj4gg_ocI9sGAcyg8OU7npKMJK0w16XZmiOlsaX-YO_qcKFG-hDusV66rgl7z0WxdCZJdID9cXy9i9F3yB5M8uD4jo4rybLKcCb1sfG4LFNh2lTBTIjQ1BIED7Lct9oYefZWbiz0IRannUfnLVfh8MGHleJx8N/s1000/maxresdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="392" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3yi3F3Cp9xIpAd8FlzWvD9iCwHzOCMQoj4gg_ocI9sGAcyg8OU7npKMJK0w16XZmiOlsaX-YO_qcKFG-hDusV66rgl7z0WxdCZJdID9cXy9i9F3yB5M8uD4jo4rybLKcCb1sfG4LFNh2lTBTIjQ1BIED7Lct9oYefZWbiz0IRannUfnLVfh8MGHleJx8N/s16000/maxresdefault.jpg" /></a></div><p>At noon, Union troops advanced with a cheer. Blair's brigade moved on the left, DeCourcy's in the center, followed by Brig. Gen. John M. Thayer's brigade on the right; all of Thayer's brigade except the 4th Iowa Infantry was ordered not to follow Thayer's orders by General George W. Morgan (the order conveyed by General Steele who was officially Thayer's superior.) Thus, instead of arriving before the Confederate lines with 3500 men, Thayer found himself with 500. Colonel James A. Williamson, commanding the 4th Iowa, was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions that day. They crossed water barriers and abatis and carried the advance rifle pits on the weight of sheer numbers, but met stiff resistance when they came against the main Confederate line and began to crumble under the heavy fire. The survivors fell back across the bayou on a corduroy bridge. S.D. Lee ordered his men to make a counterattack, during which they captured 332 Union soldiers and four battle flags.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMEnh-tR95C3NXqyqZrjUOdU7TQzP5Gqec90PK23PbdFza3XBF17WihMN3ihPNUCq74i8khwBaryIxUrCcZ58l8IQpEn65f-ORIiRgBHR3IQJeo-fWcZGfSHH2SHNPhfD_Vq7HQPFPrvN05Jzvo0BwgND0Spt8Ivo8veLI-kPD1nXt8oD7mUtRYMlC09B/s1000/Sans%20titre-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVMEnh-tR95C3NXqyqZrjUOdU7TQzP5Gqec90PK23PbdFza3XBF17WihMN3ihPNUCq74i8khwBaryIxUrCcZ58l8IQpEn65f-ORIiRgBHR3IQJeo-fWcZGfSHH2SHNPhfD_Vq7HQPFPrvN05Jzvo0BwgND0Spt8Ivo8veLI-kPD1nXt8oD7mUtRYMlC09B/s16000/Sans%20titre-1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Brig.

The battle was a lopsided victory for the Confederates: Union casualties were 208 killed, 1,005 wounded, and 563 captured or missing, the majority among the 4th Iowa and the brigades of Blair and De Courcy. Confederate casualties were light at 57 killed, 120 wounded, and 10 missing. Sherman conferred with Adm. Porter, whose naval gunfire had also failed to do any significant damage to the enemy. They decided to resume the attacks on the following day and Porter sent a boat to Memphis to get more small arms ammunition.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-xv7rGnhXs7f8KXm9iVl1lNfhtK83xSpXTiHfHrO_p6XqGO02cO4eChuNfBJ2npZb3aJJ9NBrbVu9oLxhImKBYH6doUAVmp6NKX3lMaNTnX8-cOGb2PgrZ2IVrFyui6Kx_HNnev8s_IB3iU-4fGk9h1MJbYTEvfNUF9VvQi5qXdI0Vb5lV1GvFip3hpw/s1000/ChickasawBayou-2b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-xv7rGnhXs7f8KXm9iVl1lNfhtK83xSpXTiHfHrO_p6XqGO02cO4eChuNfBJ2npZb3aJJ9NBrbVu9oLxhImKBYH6doUAVmp6NKX3lMaNTnX8-cOGb2PgrZ2IVrFyui6Kx_HNnev8s_IB3iU-4fGk9h1MJbYTEvfNUF9VvQi5qXdI0Vb5lV1GvFip3hpw/s16000/ChickasawBayou-2b.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">This photo was titled "Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, The poison spring.
Battlefield of Chickasaw Bayou" by the photographer William Redish
Pywell. The photograph is assumed to have been taken at the time of or shortly after
the battle in December, 1862. It appears to show a wagon, limber or
caisson partially submerged in water at the bottom of what is assumed to
be either Chickasaw Bayou or McNutt Lake (see maps). Amazingly, there
also appears to be the body of a soldier lying in the mud beyond and
just above the wagon wheel (see zoomed section below). If this photo is
correctly identified, it may be the only known image of the Chickasaw
Bayou battlefield at or near the time of the battle. The terrain
certainly matches the various descriptions of the bayou and surrounding
landscape.
</div><div><p style="text-align: left;"><br />By the morning of December 30, Sherman had concluded that resuming the attacks at the same location would be fruitless and he and Porter planned a joint army-navy attack on Drumgould's Bluff to the northeast, hoping that the steep bluffs would provide cover for his men as they advanced. It was imperative that such a movement be started in secrecy so that the Confederates would not shift their defensive forces. The movement commenced on December 31, but was called off in heavy fog on January 1, 1863.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkdISoqS0vhc7yoUEkRiffa5sLMWT6VKhkd_OHjndYzTPxmkMi5pZS0cFjcDdIIoSgllcrEgKOMtTk7-MLbdFMw0RobSwg8Kyqi813dDrEVew9qu9skGCMc1CI3jWZpZ14ULcsEVq8nnUayS4y99DA5r14oqv6YOnRPbvStZFFOsZgORSEA4sbyWr6ceN/s1000/Sans%20titre-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="656" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkdISoqS0vhc7yoUEkRiffa5sLMWT6VKhkd_OHjndYzTPxmkMi5pZS0cFjcDdIIoSgllcrEgKOMtTk7-MLbdFMw0RobSwg8Kyqi813dDrEVew9qu9skGCMc1CI3jWZpZ14ULcsEVq8nnUayS4y99DA5r14oqv6YOnRPbvStZFFOsZgORSEA4sbyWr6ceN/s16000/Sans%20titre-1.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">Brig. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest - Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn,</div><div><p style="text-align: left;">During this period, the overland half of Grant's offensive was also failing. His lines of communication were disrupted by raids by Brig. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and by Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn, who destroyed a large supply depot in the Holly Springs Raid on December 20. Unable to sustain his army without these supplies, Grant abandoned his overland advance. Sherman realized that his corps would not be reinforced by Grant and decided to withdraw his expedition, moving to the mouth of the Yazoo on January 2. On January 5, Sherman sent a letter to General-in-Chief Henry W. Halleck, summing up the campaign (in a manner reminiscent of a famous statement by Julius Caesar), "I reached Vicksburg at the time appointed, landed, assaulted, and failed." He and his command were then temporarily assigned to Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand for an expedition up the Arkansas River and the Battle of Arkansas Post. Although Grant tried a number of operations, or "experiments", to reach Vicksburg over the winter, the Vicksburg Campaign did not begin again in earnest until April 1863.<br /></p><br /><br /></div>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-52990198697960989402023-12-23T08:38:00.000-08:002023-12-23T08:38:51.017-08:00A house in heaven or Hell<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeS9mUbrtgaZ1FDAbPy9tEckTtUVBAWLYDxAdi_JrIcKcSlHUm0rGHPo85lyZh8BVt8qYmzPDbmSx2muryLyQgYhVNxL0v_vfJv29902JKqqFITASsQ8rENLP3tJ_jSe2o8NwAxQZy0GgdgUAe0Anwvn1CO5LLw41KppYLuCWT5v-UATlHZDXq-B7y5jis/s1000/I091N2803D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeS9mUbrtgaZ1FDAbPy9tEckTtUVBAWLYDxAdi_JrIcKcSlHUm0rGHPo85lyZh8BVt8qYmzPDbmSx2muryLyQgYhVNxL0v_vfJv29902JKqqFITASsQ8rENLP3tJ_jSe2o8NwAxQZy0GgdgUAe0Anwvn1CO5LLw41KppYLuCWT5v-UATlHZDXq-B7y5jis/s16000/I091N2803D.jpg" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to the Vieux Carré Digital Survey, I was able to retrace a piece of the history of my great-grandparents in New Orleans.

They had murdered his wife in front of him and stole and later killed one of his small children. Fimbres and his men hunted for Apache camps, and almost invariably they contained only women and children. Nelda Villa, a local historian in the Sierra Madre and a renowned expert on the remnant Apaches, believes that most of the men had already been killed by Mexicans while raiding. Fimbres and his men killed all the Apache women they could find and adopted the children.<br /><br />In 1930, the tiny band of Indians made international headlines when a Mexican rancher named Francisco Fimbres started recruiting American gunslingers to wipe them out, Meed said.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPABg3MtxpJ7QC7VGjsmBVqcT8UHKMZoARjGajavzhp8fQSSr_4gudgbhYN9AAADdcOQcIlXY7kzZOnysOKoekxLRcaUKJXvsYSKbfIpPC2FoAXxQcwmuEDMmfQ9OvThZWiaqXK9Ej_DNj6-q-7loFMJbd_9RaEILL9zzc8Fhkn9D4R0uAqVbSsrFb0P7a/s1000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-12-05%20a%CC%80%2009.32.11.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="627" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPABg3MtxpJ7QC7VGjsmBVqcT8UHKMZoARjGajavzhp8fQSSr_4gudgbhYN9AAADdcOQcIlXY7kzZOnysOKoekxLRcaUKJXvsYSKbfIpPC2FoAXxQcwmuEDMmfQ9OvThZWiaqXK9Ej_DNj6-q-7loFMJbd_9RaEILL9zzc8Fhkn9D4R0uAqVbSsrFb0P7a/s16000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-12-05%20a%CC%80%2009.32.11.png" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fimbres, a ruthless latter-day Indian fighter, was motivated by vengeance and his "Apache Expedition," bankrolled and promoted by publicity-hungry businessmen in Arizona, drew more than a thousand trigger-happy volunteers. The mercenary force even boasted its own airplane to spot elusive Apache camps.<br />The Mexican government, more alarmed by the prospect of armed Americans overrunning its northern frontier than by hazy reports of renegade Apaches, squelched the crusade before it began. American diplomats heaved a sigh of relief.<br />"They wouldn't have caught a single Indian anyway," said Pedro Fimbres, a nephew of Francisco Fimbres. "The Apaches moved every day--stealing a horse here, gathering pine nuts there, killing a cowboy over there," said Fimbres, a grizzled saddle-maker. "The Americans would have been running in circles for months."<br /><br />Despite their dazzling ability to cover 70 miles a day over exhausting terrain, the fugitive Chiricahuas were being slowly picked off by ranchers armed and deputized by the Mexican government. Gunfights often forced the harried Indians to abandon their food caches of acorns and rustled beef. <br />"When logging took off in the Sierra, it was all over," said Mexican Apache buff Zozaya. "The Sierra was all cut up by new roads, new sawmills, new settlements. There was no place left to hide."<br /><br />By 1934, Grenville Goodwin, an American anthropologist who had heard about the holdouts while living among their cousins on Arizona reservations, estimated that no more than 30 Apaches were "fighting a losing battle in Mexico and it seems only a question of time till they will be exterminated." Goodwin tried, as did several U.S. government Indian agents at the time, to make contact with the Apaches across the border. He failed.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilS-cC4qMWbQitiEyP5FtAQoMiXSWkDqMZjsmVqieJELmY3Ppkvc5vwpF5abFuo-jl2M7hRTbHVsx-kJG18Ldg6rb9GVHIoKNRcy4VwnP_JTWDHGP9vS6XOIQjvCJy-HQjRHRSoPrjksGJqEHYSBsXPoZgw6h17soNEFwuADDvavf5dV4HrXsPp8Majw3c/s1000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-12-05%20a%CC%80%2010.31.16.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="707" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilS-cC4qMWbQitiEyP5FtAQoMiXSWkDqMZjsmVqieJELmY3Ppkvc5vwpF5abFuo-jl2M7hRTbHVsx-kJG18Ldg6rb9GVHIoKNRcy4VwnP_JTWDHGP9vS6XOIQjvCJy-HQjRHRSoPrjksGJqEHYSBsXPoZgw6h17soNEFwuADDvavf5dV4HrXsPp8Majw3c/s16000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-12-05%20a%CC%80%2010.31.16.png" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The Sierra's beleaguered Apaches certainly left no records of their own. Though some Indians doubtless gave up and were absorbed into local Mexican populations, most sources agree that far more were hunted down and shot. Details vary, but the last major Apache battle in North America probably took place in the spring of 1933, in a brushy ravine in Sonora about 300 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.<br /><br />Fimbres and others describe how one of the few Apache survivors of that bloodbath fled into the mountain undergrowth, only to be nabbed weeks later by cowboys out hunting mountain lion.<br />Zozaya believes she was dubbed "Julia Tasahuinora" for the summer month when she was captured and the craggy, pine-studded peaks where she was found. Others, like Guillermo Damiani, remember her simply as "the wild girl." "She died in the jail," Damiani said, waving a hand in disgust. "It took a few days. She starved herself to death."<br />In the language of the Opata, another Mexican tribe, Tasahuinora means "hill where the sun rises." Whatever her real name, she was the last documented Apache captured alive in the Sierra Madre.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In many ways, Fimbress journey to find his son resembles The Searchers, but one thing sets it apart: Apaches attacked the Fimbres family on October 26, 1926, over 90 years after Cynthia Anns kidnapping and 40 years after the last major Indian attack in the United States. Whereas every other Indian tribe on the North American continent had died, moved on to a reservation, or amalgamated into European culture, the Apaches who had attacked Fimbres had held out in the mountains of Mexico well into the 20th century and continued to live as they had for the last 300 years. A world with trans-Atlantic flight, rockets, and Hitler, was home to unconquered Apaches.<br /></p><br />the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-36947990832036165212023-11-27T03:46:00.000-08:002023-11-27T03:46:34.132-08:00North Cascades: Bastion of the Wild<p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhigas4yfQebtoXShqwe5AMoAw6E2oswNiLBnwJEC49tfs25Q5e8LZJgQoZCFjviOsJJSw7lMKqMWFHsOaGiR2stbsCPwWPGfpbzA4Ap1tdUXs0CSrTPJWXf9vo34OaEbgA1P2LyRIvejMK4A6Ic6bfm9EUgcRSZ_M7PYqyzpg68N7zJSm7-dvNMAOACbrN/s1000/North-Cascades-2-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhigas4yfQebtoXShqwe5AMoAw6E2oswNiLBnwJEC49tfs25Q5e8LZJgQoZCFjviOsJJSw7lMKqMWFHsOaGiR2stbsCPwWPGfpbzA4Ap1tdUXs0CSrTPJWXf9vo34OaEbgA1P2LyRIvejMK4A6Ic6bfm9EUgcRSZ_M7PYqyzpg68N7zJSm7-dvNMAOACbrN/s16000/North-Cascades-2-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAkbCqtYa-WuDrK9LdyeoRj0mlS5pKIluLlFrNx2Uj-0_QA2RyoaMm8eoHK-ybEf8y5H-vEHbGOMQbwNryyDke6JQoO6vlareJmGiV32M5NVM6HwZ9HnO7fq67cXA1pOQT_2ptEFQNXLxYdJ12gBz-eBHmYbl4e5ZxMy_om58wAr6tTRvlGeOdTblQz2J/s1500/North-Cascades-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaAkbCqtYa-WuDrK9LdyeoRj0mlS5pKIluLlFrNx2Uj-0_QA2RyoaMm8eoHK-ybEf8y5H-vEHbGOMQbwNryyDke6JQoO6vlareJmGiV32M5NVM6HwZ9HnO7fq67cXA1pOQT_2ptEFQNXLxYdJ12gBz-eBHmYbl4e5ZxMy_om58wAr6tTRvlGeOdTblQz2J/s16000/North-Cascades-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggO1Cnm1jkEYF7JmDMwfFTDFYqU6Mzw1Abdu9i_aV7DD41VvunTZWqnzDoRl7txY06jJTPtPwUI2i8A5nSvTyAYYoJZLUgj0j3lUM6_5EKsS6r9SfeNC0ENxNSMRTDLuIcAmUI9PXf49j0ZIYYDWIdDYZeO2Gc9_mHo8RzH9D19gq6lV-D_xT9NogF5Ux1/s1000/North-Cascades-2-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggO1Cnm1jkEYF7JmDMwfFTDFYqU6Mzw1Abdu9i_aV7DD41VvunTZWqnzDoRl7txY06jJTPtPwUI2i8A5nSvTyAYYoJZLUgj0j3lUM6_5EKsS6r9SfeNC0ENxNSMRTDLuIcAmUI9PXf49j0ZIYYDWIdDYZeO2Gc9_mHo8RzH9D19gq6lV-D_xT9NogF5Ux1/s16000/North-Cascades-2-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqYjmSSuha9HZs58CyZnXeV_zpU-TJ7J7CGmR38HiZDgwhzQRqAhpWPGkPI0x-Z7NbziC92pqW-GtMMP2qEHoNykiUX1yisUg6BEhcJt_dP7Cnl8YH4vE9Jj4_3E-KZ9bUOw3H7kOUiHTejUXHeqTDm12AkqMFmrDKpFpFl8DtgjdE4_bKhWWfauoUSSjb/s1000/North-Cascades-4jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqYjmSSuha9HZs58CyZnXeV_zpU-TJ7J7CGmR38HiZDgwhzQRqAhpWPGkPI0x-Z7NbziC92pqW-GtMMP2qEHoNykiUX1yisUg6BEhcJt_dP7Cnl8YH4vE9Jj4_3E-KZ9bUOw3H7kOUiHTejUXHeqTDm12AkqMFmrDKpFpFl8DtgjdE4_bKhWWfauoUSSjb/s16000/North-Cascades-4jpg.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-DmwJ_2F3ZFBL88sPp6B1wgI_MkSkdK5Jmk5vauCcfP7aKf3NGwa-Ilq4Rkw0qdmSBAc6qvuYYTYsXc_25cXD9iAQCdQiHkNIfjcE9vGlz8ph6mTeksisvKCnmolu_tzj4JxffwT2kPqXmMGc0sikrMTOhivZB0kHfb-lH38V9a8myj-_0vuPsBdQYaeH/s1500/North-Cascades-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-DmwJ_2F3ZFBL88sPp6B1wgI_MkSkdK5Jmk5vauCcfP7aKf3NGwa-Ilq4Rkw0qdmSBAc6qvuYYTYsXc_25cXD9iAQCdQiHkNIfjcE9vGlz8ph6mTeksisvKCnmolu_tzj4JxffwT2kPqXmMGc0sikrMTOhivZB0kHfb-lH38V9a8myj-_0vuPsBdQYaeH/s16000/North-Cascades-5.jpg" /></a></div><br />Sitting like stone guardians just below the Canadian border, the North Cascade mountains are keepers of the wildness that once roamed unchecked across North America. Soaring high into the skies, their stony and snowy peaks seem to scrape at the clouds that pass overhead demanding tribute as they float by. Sparkling like scattered gems, glacially fed lakes brilliantly reflect the sunlight while, through deep green valleys, bright, blue-gray rivers run down to the surrounding flatlands. It is a spot where a person could quickly leave behind all of the trappings that attach themselves to our modern daily existence and transport to another existence entirely. Roughly 90 million years ago, the range began to take shape when two continental plates collided. The force caused parts of the North American plate to begin to jut upwards, reaching for the sky. It created volcanos, still active today, that form part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, along with the rest of the Cascade Mountain range. The area is still dominated by huge granite deposits, remnants of mountains that eroded away 5 or 6 million years before now.

After graduating from St. Edwards University he spent the better part of a decade working the trenches of state employment. At the Texas House of Representatives he worked on an ongoing documentary project photographing lawmakers during the legislative session. He soon amassed a brilliant catalog of images that were created on a work-for-hire basis and can never be published by him for money. This marked the last time he would ever be paid to shoot 35mm available light with nothing but a Leica and a bag of Tri-X. <br /><br />At the Texas Department of Public Safety he traveled the state for six years as a Forensic Photographer. There he amassed a brilliant catalog of images he would rather not think too hard about. His work with blood spatter patterns has been called "adequate" by several DNA and Trace Evidence analysts. He subsequently worked for renowned photographer Dan Winters, who put him to work as his assistant for several years. Sequestered in Driftwood, Texas, under Winters' tutelage, Jeff developed his photographic skills, a strong work ethic and a penchant for Red Wings. <br /><br />One of his not so recent works, a photo essay for Texas Monthly Magazine about Texas high school football stadiums, received a nomination for a National Magazine Award and was recently expanded into a book entitled "Home Fields" published by the University of Texas Press in the fall of 2010. <br /><br />A more recent work for the afore mentioned Texas Monthly, a piece on Texas dancehalls, was a National Magazine Award finalist. Both times he lost to service pieces describing the best places to eat certain comfort foods within a given geographic area. With that under his belt, Jeff has developed a reputation amongst his pets as a reliable and amiable provider. His family is on the fence, but leaning toward "winsome." Jeff has been featured in the PDN Photo Annual and American Photography, and his photographs are included in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. and the Wittliff Collection at Texas State University, as well as the foyers of several discerning South Austin collectors who live on his street. <br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-54271762744048726382023-11-07T02:28:00.001-08:002023-11-07T02:34:17.311-08:00 The Real Women of the Wild West<p><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbiLuqM-QFFN9pJv584dWmfFEcx5AwM2AHeG9sJB4fw8p3QTZVVVzFROl2UDit1Ft8jiLMPhwD8GVm2wUm0dEs21TO29WscUXjsFjHqXP_AMVQT5gIjSQzwdgQZYciIHS7WdMtwhfiSR4HfN6oLeKspYAlaxSNKwfP1CYCRsiDekkXKGtnW7gFYLM26OX3/s1000/feat-3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbiLuqM-QFFN9pJv584dWmfFEcx5AwM2AHeG9sJB4fw8p3QTZVVVzFROl2UDit1Ft8jiLMPhwD8GVm2wUm0dEs21TO29WscUXjsFjHqXP_AMVQT5gIjSQzwdgQZYciIHS7WdMtwhfiSR4HfN6oLeKspYAlaxSNKwfP1CYCRsiDekkXKGtnW7gFYLM26OX3/s16000/feat-3.png" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">These four sisters (left-right.), Harriet, Elizabeth, Lucie and Ruth Crisman, photographed in 1886, near Custer County, Nebraska, knew how blessed they were to have each other, as so many other women suffered the loneliness of the frontier. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Alexis de Tocqueville came to America to study democracy.

Most traveled with their families on covered wagons, beginning in the 1840s. They moved from crowded eastern cities to settle in western states such as Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. Some wagon trains eventually went even farther, to California, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.<br /><br />After the Civil War, more and more people sought new lives in the West. For nearly thirty years, from the 1840s to the late 1860s, the largest migration in the history of the country took place. The Homestead Act of 1860 mandated that 160 acres could be claimed in the west by men as well as women as long as they were twenty-one and unmarried. Though men by far outnumbered women in the early years, by 1870, there were 172,00 women over the age of twenty out west, compared to 385,00 men. While back east most women lived within society’s traditional rules, pioneer women had to adapt to survive the harsh circumstances of their journey and new surroundings.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVQPhfK9wDYcykMEidD_9P-pVZ65S5N9n2ZyF9NgGnHQ8Thwit4fHDxkLi6WbpIjHGvvzOZfWfQHZHnCQPD6z9nE7ZvWQiwaFATLqJUskdSmaivUW6KK5wSkDnlhf9J3w3RDqolVxJR8Kg8EwAh1dAv2JPmx2ak6xjd9MqimoiOL9DUqlbnXguzgdWrvF/s1000/cowgirls-west-photographs%20(5).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="783" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVQPhfK9wDYcykMEidD_9P-pVZ65S5N9n2ZyF9NgGnHQ8Thwit4fHDxkLi6WbpIjHGvvzOZfWfQHZHnCQPD6z9nE7ZvWQiwaFATLqJUskdSmaivUW6KK5wSkDnlhf9J3w3RDqolVxJR8Kg8EwAh1dAv2JPmx2ak6xjd9MqimoiOL9DUqlbnXguzgdWrvF/s16000/cowgirls-west-photographs%20(5).jpg" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Fox Hastings, a cowgirl and trick rider, being thrown by Undertow, one of the meanest horses at the first annual Los Angeles Rodeo, circa 1920s. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Many began to take on chores formerly done only by men. Wives, widows, mothers, and daughters on farms and ranches were helping to settle the western plains. Some of these women homesteaders learned to master the skills of riding horses, roping cattle and other animals, and shooting a gun when necessary. Pioneer Nannie Alderson, who settled in Montana, believed that “the new country offered greater personal liberty than the old.”<br /><br />One new freedom for women that grew out of the pioneering way of life involved a change in wardrobe. In those days, women rarely wore pants, and when riding horses, they sat sidesaddle. Their skirts kept them from riding like men, and in any case, it was not considered “ladylike” to do so.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_jwbgFPgvksakLJA2780N2fg3p-9ueUr4hpKhJLc3eArXjYgxRes4GE1BLYiZXg88Ae8Iu1Tz4yczi0xd2Us7iTZevK1qB7QYTeuAB5qsa9-KXpUChdhNP8eetTGbgG0PBUIWL3eKSJHZ2ChUbO-8vVFUGsqNp-t327PRo1JSsCyGRIipRk6VvTATNFF4/s1000/cowgirls-west-photographs%20(6).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_jwbgFPgvksakLJA2780N2fg3p-9ueUr4hpKhJLc3eArXjYgxRes4GE1BLYiZXg88Ae8Iu1Tz4yczi0xd2Us7iTZevK1qB7QYTeuAB5qsa9-KXpUChdhNP8eetTGbgG0PBUIWL3eKSJHZ2ChUbO-8vVFUGsqNp-t327PRo1JSsCyGRIipRk6VvTATNFF4/s16000/cowgirls-west-photographs%20(6).jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Lucille Mullhall at 101 Ranch, Oklahoma, in 1909.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The origins of the cowboy tradition come from Spain, beginning with the hacienda system of medieval Spain. This style of cattle ranching spread throughout much of the Iberian peninsula and later was imported to the Americas. Both regions possessed a dry climate with sparse grass, thus large herds of cattle required vast amounts of land to obtain sufficient forage. The need to cover distances greater than a person on foot could manage gave rise to the development of the horseback-mounted vaquero.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQ3-k6d7sz06soq3jULT7qK_h0kCXhKtbf-L61YI-tin54LVqOIRnXEc_TzSMDM8rTcjE8Sx1TAMsPyZuUQf5odwxYHgk11HE3Vvkgj1XH6fUbs6J_3rviApJu6fb9B3Qcnc837rej8RshAc6pAFTRs0hXlxuLeiDOUCTjuWF_z-H7NH278toRXkOGWBo/s1000/cowgirls-west-photographs%20(14).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQ3-k6d7sz06soq3jULT7qK_h0kCXhKtbf-L61YI-tin54LVqOIRnXEc_TzSMDM8rTcjE8Sx1TAMsPyZuUQf5odwxYHgk11HE3Vvkgj1XH6fUbs6J_3rviApJu6fb9B3Qcnc837rej8RshAc6pAFTRs0hXlxuLeiDOUCTjuWF_z-H7NH278toRXkOGWBo/s16000/cowgirls-west-photographs%20(14).jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Bonnie McCarroll thrown from Silver, Pendleton, Oregon, September 1915.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnnRW2uPC9it-9DoobzGXV7PtH1q4Z95V305JkLjDWW8GfRwyFjuOspMDdhxFUHe5jIwOBWvn6d96yz5GDaWPJcJ-7u2j9GNfzBgtU8s-slcYBwbCDBGQdehE5udJNLrhvW-CziBK0v5z1RKnhQ_FOBcEM1duFoqIxHF7sGGNorPLnm7pp8ufu2jYIDwIO/s1250/Arapaho_woman_Pretty_Nose,_1879,_restored.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnnRW2uPC9it-9DoobzGXV7PtH1q4Z95V305JkLjDWW8GfRwyFjuOspMDdhxFUHe5jIwOBWvn6d96yz5GDaWPJcJ-7u2j9GNfzBgtU8s-slcYBwbCDBGQdehE5udJNLrhvW-CziBK0v5z1RKnhQ_FOBcEM1duFoqIxHF7sGGNorPLnm7pp8ufu2jYIDwIO/s16000/Arapaho_woman_Pretty_Nose,_1879,_restored.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It's impossible not to talk about the woman who was undoubtedly the most incredible woman of this era and who deserves to be in the pantheon of women of the West. Pretty Nose (b. c. 1851), was a French-Arapaho woman who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 with a combined Cheyenne/Arapaho detachment. She lived to be at least 101 years old and reportedly became a war chief.<br />Pretty Nose's descendant, Mark Soldier Wolf witnessed his return to the Wind River Indian Reservation in 1952, at the age of 101.

The first of these was "The Indiaman", a service from London to Calcutta that was inaugurated on 15 April 1957. At least 32 other operators ran services, including Albert Travel which ran 15 round journeys from London to India. Overland routes were made difficult by political unrest in the Middle East during the 1970s and ended with the 1979 Iranian Revolution and Soviet–Afghan War. <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjHcd-MGwx5ZgNETNg9OxMHcpN_R4yoALTkgUO6Ytsz90tXNUyq_O5rYYiCbpIkPe1DDKBPRdzPVhc7o_26DlnQ6hHYPYoAhIZ0mAEzPPRJkO8Cxh_L9p9gik4sEM-bqcZFDHkDUdIpESMxSQPeDwjADHa1F3elX7QGkc-YzLimnQnVXAoZL8ehZI07sz/s1000/49825328423_97298471b2_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjHcd-MGwx5ZgNETNg9OxMHcpN_R4yoALTkgUO6Ytsz90tXNUyq_O5rYYiCbpIkPe1DDKBPRdzPVhc7o_26DlnQ6hHYPYoAhIZ0mAEzPPRJkO8Cxh_L9p9gik4sEM-bqcZFDHkDUdIpESMxSQPeDwjADHa1F3elX7QGkc-YzLimnQnVXAoZL8ehZI07sz/s16000/49825328423_97298471b2_b.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The Indiaman in Iran</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The first UK–India bus service was "The Indiaman", run by London-based Garrow-Fisher Tours. This left Victoria Coach Station on April 15th 1957 and returned after a 20,000 mile journey to Calcutta on August 2nd. The journey, which was covered by The New York Times, was eventful with driver Oswald-Joseph Garrow-Fisher recalling the road passing over high cliffs near Mount Ararat at the Turkey-Soviet Union border, soft verges in India, and needing to use planks under the wheels to escape the desert sand in Iran.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the return leg, the 1957-1958 influenza pandemic forced the closure of the Pakistan-Iran border. The tour diverted from the border to the city of Karachi, intending to find passage on a ship, but upon reaching the port they learned the land border had reopened and so returned that way, a diversion of some 1,200 miles (1,900 km). The British embassy in Tehran had heard a rumour that the passengers had been murdered en route and were so relieved when they arrived unharmed that they hosted a cocktail party in their honour.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzukJVXC1sqryQi1RQ4iKiAwKCQ-RwO_4YAWtev_PmFc0NMwbWVh52QQECOGiX2ffIYhe86EAiGYyMK-luWKc1PgtIrRKuQ2fcl0_jdl4394K0S3InBnNFedQZJF_u-B_1mQ92N9LVA5N7IUvTNa-4YNQVkje7BzoCOExm22hrVekRnZRs8wmcOG9YqTvB/s1000/AEC_Regal_III_Burnhams_CFK_340_OxfordParkway_LeftQuarter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="714" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzukJVXC1sqryQi1RQ4iKiAwKCQ-RwO_4YAWtev_PmFc0NMwbWVh52QQECOGiX2ffIYhe86EAiGYyMK-luWKc1PgtIrRKuQ2fcl0_jdl4394K0S3InBnNFedQZJF_u-B_1mQ92N9LVA5N7IUvTNa-4YNQVkje7BzoCOExm22hrVekRnZRs8wmcOG9YqTvB/s16000/AEC_Regal_III_Burnhams_CFK_340_OxfordParkway_LeftQuarter.jpg" /></a></div><br />The Indiaman was a 1948 AEC Regal III. Garrow-Fisher refurbished the 33-seater bus, which already had already travelled 100,000 miles (160,000 km), for the journey. In its transcontinental configuration, it could carry 24 passengers plus luggage. For the first journey, Garrow-Fisher charged £85 for the outbound fare and £65 for the return; 20 passengers were carried to India and 7 made the return journey. Passengers slept overnight in hotels or camped outside. One passenger, Peter Moss, wrote an book about the journey: The Indiaman – When the Going was Good by Land and Sea. The Indiaman made four return journeys in total.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A bus named "Albert" was run by Albert Travel from May 1968. The venture was started by British travel agent and Australian resident Andy Stewart, who purchased a 1947 Albion Motors CS Venturer double-decker bus from the New South Wales Department of Government Transport; the bus had previously operated the number 2004 service in Sydney. Stewart managed to reduce the asking price from AU$1000 to AU$400 as the bus was not capable of going above 32 miles per hour (51 km/h) and had a large dent in the rear. He fitted it out with bunk beds to suit 14 passengers, extra fuel tanks and drinking water supply. There was also heating in the lower deck, a radio and cassette player, a reading and dining saloon and a kitchen with a gas cooker and sink.<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMr4jDI8KoWFllelK8yMtcWqNghtUMgsxR-GGHQtwYCF8hDTvcYzMFOVJz4pKAV1UGmRLmGm2EqcgSlDczQf8k9rz6InST1qtXmblwbZYo3HaoBU4FSkTYMKqy-GLlC_UjmTpjDGa0L2MjRqptdGz4ZVUyeeWa2QlK547Y8NFUV8qB5MsbLxW1EX-Y7c7/s1000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-11-06%20a%CC%80%2014.07.13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMr4jDI8KoWFllelK8yMtcWqNghtUMgsxR-GGHQtwYCF8hDTvcYzMFOVJz4pKAV1UGmRLmGm2EqcgSlDczQf8k9rz6InST1qtXmblwbZYo3HaoBU4FSkTYMKqy-GLlC_UjmTpjDGa0L2MjRqptdGz4ZVUyeeWa2QlK547Y8NFUV8qB5MsbLxW1EX-Y7c7/s16000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-11-06%20a%CC%80%2014.07.13.png" /></a></div><br />Starting in Australia (the bus transferred by ship to India), Stewart drove 13 passengers on the first trip to London. He made a further 14 round trips between 1968 and 1975, when political instability in Iran forced him to stop. A typical route ran from Victoria Coach Station via Belgium, West Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, West Pakistan to India where it stopped at New Delhi, Agra, Allahabad, Banaras and Calcutta. Until 1970, the bus was shipped from Calcutta to Sydney. Thereafter, the bus ran to Calcutta from which passengers could choose to fly across Burma to Bangkok, Thailand and continue by train through Malaysia to Singapore where a boat would carry them to Perth or Sydney, Australia. The bus stopped en route to allow passengers to visit sites of interest and local shops. In the early years, a one-way ticket was £85; this rose to £125 by the early 1970s excluding catering. The connection via Singapore to Australia was a further £125. The trip was advertised as "the world's longest bus route" and "your complete home while you travel".<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpx_abOHhGeYUGWLwL2RN1ynnkNJhP8Y1CuE67RhHa4El_veYz5MnLPlQoREGqKHuH2pFF8eIOoiA1sDTttdKIEU7NenyR9I282X6BB3_bF3M6pIBcn7eUMEQxFk3wRwlicRz-umRCwpimORS3rjNy_4q80G_poITQ5jtFmqYxquSpoRB14wjG1qnekYqC/s1000/LMMCGWMCQB7KBZRNZ6XULCY7TU.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpx_abOHhGeYUGWLwL2RN1ynnkNJhP8Y1CuE67RhHa4El_veYz5MnLPlQoREGqKHuH2pFF8eIOoiA1sDTttdKIEU7NenyR9I282X6BB3_bF3M6pIBcn7eUMEQxFk3wRwlicRz-umRCwpimORS3rjNy_4q80G_poITQ5jtFmqYxquSpoRB14wjG1qnekYqC/s16000/LMMCGWMCQB7KBZRNZ6XULCY7TU.jpg" /></a></div><br />Stewart returned to Australia as a travel agent after making the last trip to London. He retired back to the UK and, in 2001, tracked down the Albert bus, which was in Brighton. He purchased the vehicle in 2009 and renovated it to make a return journey overland to Australia. He raised funds by selling shares at £250 each, with the owners of ten or more shares being entitled to a seat on the trip. The journey was completed in 2012 and the bus remains in Australia making appearances at car shows.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41orjxD6XZ0vppq_PkIRwWVOYSB6c3xnZZaUKKK24gzFbeGlpbqlLJPaE_2SwK5-UbVHj9VPdGa460E0u8prTLn6Pvo5nqy9AoxyoN5MOA2Mac9nvgvZjovgRK6DOoL4z88R2NlsAbagEejoROhV1dAHyFNTvZFN58xOv0SUzxQ3VVUpXnO0mSJUx7ERA/s1000/Topdeckbus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj41orjxD6XZ0vppq_PkIRwWVOYSB6c3xnZZaUKKK24gzFbeGlpbqlLJPaE_2SwK5-UbVHj9VPdGa460E0u8prTLn6Pvo5nqy9AoxyoN5MOA2Mac9nvgvZjovgRK6DOoL4z88R2NlsAbagEejoROhV1dAHyFNTvZFN58xOv0SUzxQ3VVUpXnO0mSJUx7ERA/s16000/Topdeckbus.jpg" /></a></div><br />In the decade following the inauguration of "The Indiaman", at least 32 operators arranged bus trips between the UK and India. These included the Waltzing Matilda, Topdeck Travel, Swagman Tour's Asian Greyhound, Tentrek Expeditions, King Kong, Crazy Bus, Penn Overland and No Sweat Overland Tours. Vehicles varied from double decker buses to converted fire engines and typically took 20 days each way. Penn Travel had a "Marco Polo Tour" route that ran from London to Kathmandu over 72 days. Some of the companies would also arrange hotels en route and broker visas for their passengers. Eastbound travellers were usually westerners seeking adventure while westbound travellers were often economic migrants from Punjab. Operators claimed cultural differences and difficulties at the border crossings made westbound trips more troublesome and charged an additional £20 for these. At least one driver insisted on being armed for all westbound journeys. The closure of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border in 1978 meant some journeys had to be completed by air and the overland routes became completely untenable following the 1979 Iranian Revolution and Soviet–Afghan War.<br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-9086935802451336232023-11-05T02:33:00.001-08:002023-11-05T02:33:42.126-08:00Motorcycle Boots<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLXWMJ_s89r273dVjO8NrnemKjWNB5F7qcLEfoi2dGyGTLn1jXHC_eMx2ty8lB5qFb9DQW9VEUilGzqracGwMuuSBLO2HS7e_fZhBug2Nky9HPaGptQ_hEmt1VqkAIA5L1YyD_qxBK46cPrc9Sd200aLUvxwMcTdEU6SEZtoOAwV0TOZzA3zgxUL2XAn3/s1000/BSA%20MOTORCYCLE%20BOOTS%20BLOG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Made to disappear. This is how the concept for this house on the island of Mallorca is presented, a few meters from the shore of the Mediterranean sea. The house is made up of a set of pieces that move in one direction, offering exterior spaces as patios between the various volumes that contain the different interior uses. Thus, with this movement, a volume is fragmented into small parts, giving each of them a unique character and their own autonomy. The house is conceived with natural materials, but built with current technology, paying attention to economy, precision and continuity. The lay-out on the ground floor maximizes the relationship with the exterior and prioritizes the views of the sea through large openings protected from solar incidence by eaves that generate large exterior terraces.<br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-86624399593820255022023-10-20T01:54:00.000-07:002023-10-20T01:54:04.494-07:001971 BMW F750 Butler & Smith Factory Racer<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Look no further than this American BMW that represents the glorious first steps that would lead to R90S domination in mid-1970s Superbike racing.<br /><br />BMW's participation in Superbike racing was part of a process of rejuvenation from staid to exciting. And so it was after the Adams family purchased BMW's US importers, New Jersey-based Butler & Smith, in 1971 and were faced with sluggish sales of the new R75/5, that company president Dr. Peter Adams created a five-year race program to refresh both his sales and the brand at large. Immediately he provided parts manager (and part-time racer), German-born, former NASA engineer, Udo Geitl, with resources to develop a Formula 750 R75/5 racer for AMA's 1972 National championship, run for the first time under F750 rules.

A film of the event was shown on TV and released on video. Proceeds went toward the redevelopment and maintenance of the park, which had deteriorated due to lack of municipal funding. The concert and album marked the start of a three-year reunion of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. The concept of a benefit concert in Central Park had been proposed by Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis and promoter Ron Delsener. Television channel HBO agreed to carry the concert, and they worked with Delsener to decide on Simon and Garfunkel as the appropriate act for this event. Despite the success of the concert and a subsequent world tour, ongoing personal tensions between the duo led them to decide against a permanent reunion.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTaDUqRCvfAPqXZELwB9ojvrYTFDVWC77SLIXlohRKD1SbnW3PGtDKj_MOy5TkbKYVyBcHRsOICbNFAnBOfJ76JT-Okp7CKcvgTnYIyk3yJMTXNj5SA9e102h1tUovY3rdzkIrYx9njwHsfHFXFtqOscOciNQE9CG3sU3rV5UUvUWbVecyRTxe_gr1YM3/s1000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-10-17%20a%CC%80%2010.38.21.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTaDUqRCvfAPqXZELwB9ojvrYTFDVWC77SLIXlohRKD1SbnW3PGtDKj_MOy5TkbKYVyBcHRsOICbNFAnBOfJ76JT-Okp7CKcvgTnYIyk3yJMTXNj5SA9e102h1tUovY3rdzkIrYx9njwHsfHFXFtqOscOciNQE9CG3sU3rV5UUvUWbVecyRTxe_gr1YM3/s16000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-10-17%20a%CC%80%2010.38.21.png" /></a></div>The album and film were released the year after the concert.

Though Central Park had been designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, at the start of the 1980s, the city lacked the financial resources to spend an estimated US$3,000,000 to restore or even to maintain the park. The nonprofit Central Park Conservancy was founded in 1980, and began a successful campaign to raise renovation funds. In the early 1980s, Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis, responsible for New York City's green areas, and Ron Delsener, one of the city's most influential concert promoters, developed the idea of helping Central Park financially with a free open-air concert, under the legal guidance of Bob Donnelly. The city would use profits from merchandising, television, and video rights to renovate the park. Earlier park performances by Elton John and James Taylor showed that this concept could be a success. Davis authorized the project, and Delsener entered discussions with cable TV channel HBO to decide who would perform.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Feb8aO3XnziVVL7p7Nc7WsFO3b3ro2fkGeLYj2dXP8wI7Etm76oCsrTvkDxLIuYlZuNHcSi4Ki5UVAnBgwPvyk6h5X5P5cQhEwtv-K-2zrR6gqGPyFO1vjFPV0F84fhcHPML2M1ngmcvFSuAWhbdpJHq3S4ubmMUyER8bqSco-0TwL1RTPNQnrwOel1j/s1000/simon-and-garfunkel-concert-audience-on-great-lawn-1981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="676" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Feb8aO3XnziVVL7p7Nc7WsFO3b3ro2fkGeLYj2dXP8wI7Etm76oCsrTvkDxLIuYlZuNHcSi4Ki5UVAnBgwPvyk6h5X5P5cQhEwtv-K-2zrR6gqGPyFO1vjFPV0F84fhcHPML2M1ngmcvFSuAWhbdpJHq3S4ubmMUyER8bqSco-0TwL1RTPNQnrwOel1j/s16000/simon-and-garfunkel-concert-audience-on-great-lawn-1981.jpg" /></a></div><br />They decided on Simon & Garfunkel, a duo that had formed in New York City in the 1960s and had been one of the most successful folk rock groups through the late 60s/early 70s. Simon & Garfunkel had broken up at the height of their popularity and shortly after the release of their fifth studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water, which is deemed to be their artistic peak and which topped the 1970 Billboard charts for ten weeks; they had grown apart artistically and did not get along well with each other. In the following ten years, both continued musical careers as solo artists and worked together only sporadically on one-off projects. Garfunkel made brief guest appearances at Simon's concerts, which were always successful. Delsener presented the plan to Paul Simon in the summer of 1981. Simon was enthusiastic about the idea, but questioned whether it could be financially successful, especially given the poor audience attendance of his last project, the autobiographical movie One-Trick Pony. Simon's confidence had declined and he had sought treatment for depression. He questioned whether he and Art Garfunkel could work together, but contacted Garfunkel, who was vacationing in Switzerland. Garfunkel was excited about the idea and immediately returned to the US.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8FlNeZ2JGOo-vMpwcyqfHwc-Z4IDM6dg4lLIbAVDl9HprOgDyQ6G5K3iQsTa6EeteUGKd9VhKpgJELOMNdctTm3zwlpZHOw5iYRTTySaWlGUH4Epp0bgIPKaFMJAQsKrz9_UowBFnDCDvNPCl9BCvH343ojRk6raFy8xXTxcZ2AdU2M-LBIK-H61Ks9ii/s1000/TELEMMGLPICT000232365324_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqrWYeUU_H0zBKyvljOo6zlmtT0gK_6EfZT336f62EI5U.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8FlNeZ2JGOo-vMpwcyqfHwc-Z4IDM6dg4lLIbAVDl9HprOgDyQ6G5K3iQsTa6EeteUGKd9VhKpgJELOMNdctTm3zwlpZHOw5iYRTTySaWlGUH4Epp0bgIPKaFMJAQsKrz9_UowBFnDCDvNPCl9BCvH343ojRk6raFy8xXTxcZ2AdU2M-LBIK-H61Ks9ii/s16000/TELEMMGLPICT000232365324_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqrWYeUU_H0zBKyvljOo6zlmtT0gK_6EfZT336f62EI5U.jpeg" /></a></div><br />From the promoter's viewpoint, Simon and Garfunkel were ideal choices. Not only were they likely to draw a large crowd to the concert, they also had roots in the city – both had grown up and gone to school in Forest Hills, Queens. Music critic Stephen Holden pointed out that, unlike artists who had left in pursuit of lifestyles offered by other locales, the two had always been a part of New York City. Both gained inspiration from the cityscape and the cultural variety of New York, and they spoke of these influences in their songs. The concert took place on Saturday, September 19, 1981, on the Great Lawn, the central open space of Central Park. The first spectators, many carrying chairs or picnic blankets, arrived at daybreak to secure a good spot. The Parks Department originally expected about 300,000 attendees. Although rain fell throughout the day and continued until the start of the concert, an estimated 500,000 audience members made this the seventh-largest concert attendance in United States history. The stage backdrop depicted an urban rooftop with water tank and air outlet, symbolic of New York's skyline. At twilight, the backing band went onstage, followed by New York's mayor, Ed Koch, who announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, Simon and Garfunkel!" The duo entered through a side stage door, took center stage amid audience applause, shook hands, and began the concert with their 1968 hit "Mrs. Robinson".<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7SB_IFLLh49c88SbGsgRf8F0VJAJNHMA_SHg9m_e3wBJDCj96J4vpG01jyYSi6vCPWRwzDyqqdoYzEhdooxO__wwiVL3Et509cGfZghvzZF1SnTMseUFr-4R_USmxtRcmcXGFrHgsfRUWnk6oJJslRRsRi4kSb8KNBJKdNkdZI0Otb6FU8wMbZLX6Qq_U/s1000/simon1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7SB_IFLLh49c88SbGsgRf8F0VJAJNHMA_SHg9m_e3wBJDCj96J4vpG01jyYSi6vCPWRwzDyqqdoYzEhdooxO__wwiVL3Et509cGfZghvzZF1SnTMseUFr-4R_USmxtRcmcXGFrHgsfRUWnk6oJJslRRsRi4kSb8KNBJKdNkdZI0Otb6FU8wMbZLX6Qq_U/s16000/simon1.jpg" /></a></div><br />After the second song, "Homeward Bound", Simon delivered a short speech which began, "Well, it's great to do a neighborhood concert." He then thanked the police, the fire department, the park administration and finally Ed Koch. Some of the audience booed at the mention of Koch but applauded as Simon continued by tongue-in-cheek thanking "the guys who are selling loose joints for giving the city half of their income tonight." Simon & Garfunkel played twenty-one songs in total: ten originally recorded by the duo, eight from Simon's solo career, one recorded by Garfunkel, a cover of The Everly Brothers' "Wake Up Little Susie", and the medley version of "Maybellene". Each performer sang three songs alone, including one new song apiece. Garfunkel sang the Simon & Garfunkel songs "Bridge over Troubled Water" and "April Come She Will", as well as "A Heart in New York", a song written by Gallagher and Lyle that appeared on his album Scissors Cut, which had been released the previous month. Simon's solo performances were the title song of his 1975 album Still Crazy After All These Years, the number-one single "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover", and the unreleased "The Late Great Johnny Ace", which would appear on his 1983 album Hearts and Bones.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzvZp4xoblBZ9KzaIBZajxo0W2D2xIeRUbCoolvRDZ1FBZs4HZG0wJOy-1FT67VBvlm3nnm1Cb8Evr7SIB54FMLlvb9OWOZ4ZrSGBanubztmMoOopPRvj2IydxlN30nUNn3-fqH9qrXkSd_54Dzj7opNxdZN-bD3664wLU_8Uh9m1mzV3WB8xwfnNjsHG/s1000/x1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzvZp4xoblBZ9KzaIBZajxo0W2D2xIeRUbCoolvRDZ1FBZs4HZG0wJOy-1FT67VBvlm3nnm1Cb8Evr7SIB54FMLlvb9OWOZ4ZrSGBanubztmMoOopPRvj2IydxlN30nUNn3-fqH9qrXkSd_54Dzj7opNxdZN-bD3664wLU_8Uh9m1mzV3WB8xwfnNjsHG/s16000/x1080.jpg" /></a></div><br />Lyrics referring to the New York area produced audience applause, such as Garfunkel's ode to his home city, "A Heart in New York", which describes from a New Yorker's point of view the first glimpse of the city when returning there by air : New York, lookin' down on Central Park, where they say you should not wander after dark. Applause broke out during "The Sound of Silence", when the narrative voice refers to a large crowd of people in the dark : And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people maybe more<br />After the 17th song, "The Boxer", which contained an additional stanza not included in the album version, Simon & Garfunkel thanked the audience and left the stage, but returned to deliver an encore of three songs – "Old Friends / Bookends Theme", "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)", and "The Sound of Silence". Simon then said that their planned use of pyrotechnics had been disallowed, and told the crowd, "Let's have our own fireworks!" Many spectators sparked lighters. The duo then introduced the members of the backing band and gave a final encore, a reprise of "Late in the Evening". <br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-64259538537554503752023-10-15T04:43:00.005-07:002023-10-15T04:43:45.536-07:00Why We Ride<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This was one of the most transformative filmmaking journeys our crew had ever embarked on. - James Walker, Producer of Why We Ride & Co-Founder/CFO of Motovational, Inc. <a href="https://www.whyweride.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Why We Ride</span></a> is a story about who we are. Individuals with a desire to dream, discover and explore. From a kid’s dream come true, to a retiree’s return to freedom. From a family riding together on the sand dunes, to hundreds of choppers carving through the canyons – the bond is the same. It’s about the passion of the riders and the soul of their machines. <br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-66148892283153941182023-10-10T05:00:00.001-07:002023-10-10T05:20:03.282-07:00Todd Cameron and The Canonball<p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHebjh1ijGLUxOgjhF9ceXXtA1uTmZZAtfQ7dgFAsjcfTlFuujqHg2ID1VL1PDO4gSfLO9wsrMZdOZUK_s80wG_jsjMa12w2J2g6ftIrBuMB2EdwbjctB-iROd2-jMZBpteRNA-MrBurH62-uNKrYU4zypRuHQ4U9C1KG1j02xDrbWn33pAQc0kIzGpF5B/s1000/images.wsj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHebjh1ijGLUxOgjhF9ceXXtA1uTmZZAtfQ7dgFAsjcfTlFuujqHg2ID1VL1PDO4gSfLO9wsrMZdOZUK_s80wG_jsjMa12w2J2g6ftIrBuMB2EdwbjctB-iROd2-jMZBpteRNA-MrBurH62-uNKrYU4zypRuHQ4U9C1KG1j02xDrbWn33pAQc0kIzGpF5B/s16000/images.wsj.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiduXo4vzlWF8SlrsUMqeOmJBfhBnleYnp2DG_D4Rhjt2Daw6VpM1eSzv_ZGzVGyaXlek4ZzgAKEAypzg-sSde0rJy6jV2KNT9TkvV5UcoSi-njK-7s-HsRecWKROqEITDx5MbH1UavDBI2CcszunFPekgBnNocAQ6qFajUSum9neSXTDzPx1aEIuDtX1OQ/s1000/383372617_304376568871541_6902493632950203267_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiduXo4vzlWF8SlrsUMqeOmJBfhBnleYnp2DG_D4Rhjt2Daw6VpM1eSzv_ZGzVGyaXlek4ZzgAKEAypzg-sSde0rJy6jV2KNT9TkvV5UcoSi-njK-7s-HsRecWKROqEITDx5MbH1UavDBI2CcszunFPekgBnNocAQ6qFajUSum9neSXTDzPx1aEIuDtX1OQ/s16000/383372617_304376568871541_6902493632950203267_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx8hXkniSL8nXPzekrDtRt-djvT8firLqQN0XXKv0lFkcQC99OyJ3PjesN2KVVvLdKy3LG3uoenpw3Ep4Gg6g9RxKKXE4nW8xNqeAW9NBogeiPs7EgBQ8fK_CgBV6hQTxm4mePFNxmtEJCF_fi1O0aXUNs3avtL0MdA9LGmNbcvuXIAbJT8bWrf-UbguoA/s1000/A7C06532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx8hXkniSL8nXPzekrDtRt-djvT8firLqQN0XXKv0lFkcQC99OyJ3PjesN2KVVvLdKy3LG3uoenpw3Ep4Gg6g9RxKKXE4nW8xNqeAW9NBogeiPs7EgBQ8fK_CgBV6hQTxm4mePFNxmtEJCF_fi1O0aXUNs3avtL0MdA9LGmNbcvuXIAbJT8bWrf-UbguoA/s16000/A7C06532.jpg" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/pulsatingshadows/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"> @Marjorie Kleiman</span></a><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Todd Cameron raced this 114-Year-Old
Motorcycle Cross-Country and won the Class 1. Todd Cameron completed <a href="https://motorcyclecannonball.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">the ‘Cannonball’</span></a><span style="color: red;"> </span>going 40 mph and using pedals to climb mountains on his
1909 Indian motorcycle. The competition between Todd Cameron and Dave
Currier was fierce, yet friendly. The two Cannonball veterans could
often be seen riding the course side by side. And through each stage of
the competition, everyone wondered whether Dave would keep the #1 spot
or turn over the championship to challenger Todd. It wasn’t easy for
either of these men to maintain the top two positions like they did
throughout the entire run. Todd had to change both front and rear
sprockets on his 1909 Indian Single not only many times throughout the
competition, but multiple times in a single day! And Dave’s 1911
Harley-Davidson Single could not be left to idle in traffic or the belt
would have burned up. Those who rode near him would see him either ride
circles to avoid stopping at lights, or jump off the bike and roll it
back and forth until the light changed or traffic cleared enough that he
could jump back on and take off again. Once the endurance run reached
its conclusion, riders went through many different, and sometimes
conflicting, emotions: exhausted and happy it was over, sad to leave the
camaraderie and the new friendships formed, pleased with their bike’s
performance or thinking about mechanical improvements for next time,
ready to go home, looking forward to the next Cannonball—the entire
range of feelings one can experience when an event of this magnitude is
suddenly over.<br /><br />Class 1:<br /><br />1 - #99 Todd Cameron<br /><br />2 - #1 Dave Currier<br /><br />3 - #109 Alex Trepanier<br /><br />(Thanks Don McGovern 😁) <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-29799950767256378262023-10-06T05:24:00.003-07:002023-10-06T05:24:43.645-07:00An Officer and a Gentleman T140<p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Paramount Pictures made two bikes for the movie, both purchased from Dewey's Cycle Shop in Seattle. The "stunt" bike, with lower gearing and some other differences, is at Planet Hollywood; the other one belongs to Keith Turk. Keith Turk found the bike on eBay in 2002. A Hollywood prop designer had the bike in storage for many years before she sold it. Keith has always been into English sports cars, and he was looking for a motorcycle to go with his Austin Healey 100/4. The movie history was cool, but he bought it first as a Triumph and because it had almost no miles on it and had been stored in California, so it was essentially perfect. Honestly, it’s just not a great motorcycle. It’s from one of Triumph’s worst years. It’s kickstart only. The gearbox doesn’t snick, it snatches through the gears. It’s got a 4-inch over front end, which makes it less than comfortable to ride. Pretty much everything about the bike is difficult. Keith bought it on a whim. He had enough money to do what he wanted, so he went out and bought this really cool Triumph. He has been without a bike since 1976, when he joined the Army. He put 1,500 miles on it the first year, and it mostly reminded him how much he really loved riding bikes. Then he bought some old Honda 550s, and he as been back riding ever since.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By Keith Turk via <a href="http://motorcyclistonline.com"><span style="color: red;">motorcyclistonline.com</span></a><br /></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-46594098247968447382023-10-04T05:37:00.001-07:002023-10-04T05:42:44.790-07:00Le Flore (S645) Sub<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDwTJ94QJOCRGGfGRr0cSVJgAe-fgQrYMBY9D5W4fxLjlHpCpQ2b13oaWHFHFpDfaqI6CSDDgAkPYs6MyXDXlWWSnYD1ZkpX_lelYFYcB9LQagDGXLla1YBBa9S6FziFhUJfqOm_CbhzeGxPtq6r0Mb2G4WBDxrt_PS0COOLBisNaFVzTXnu2KUKP4Ztr/s1000/382977669_877508467432629_9170400553307687258_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Launched in
1960, it was in service from 1964 to 1989. Since 2010, it has been
visited as a museum in Lorient. The submarine was named Flore on April
17, 19561. It was started at the Directorate of Naval Construction and
Weapons (DCAN) in Cherbourg on June 19, 1958. It is the fifth in the
series of high-performance submarines of Daphne type. It was launched on
December 21, 1960 and was launched at sea on September 22, 1961. The
submarine Flore was admitted to active service on May 21, 1964 and
assigned to the 1st submarine squadron (ESM) in Toulon, its base port.
His career took place mainly in the Mediterranean. He occasionally joins
Lorient for periods of major refit. On July 12, 1995, the submarine
Flore was put on dry land on the slipway of the Lorient submarine base.
It will be temporarily sheltered from July 3, 1997 to April 9, 2000 in
cell no. 1, taking into account the weather, strong winds could
unbalance it. Then, the submarine was maintained by former volunteer
submariners grouped within the MESMAT association (Museum of the
Atlantic Submarine Squadron) which was created to support the
transformation project. of the submarine in a <a href="https://www.la-flore.fr/fr" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">naval museum</span></a>.</div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><br />the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-88369272054674133552023-09-29T01:30:00.001-07:002023-09-29T01:52:55.333-07:00VOC International Rally 2023<p> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Owners Club. The Rally was hosted by the <a href="https://socalvoc.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Southern California Section</span></a>, one of the oldest and strongest Sections in the VOC. There were Iconic Racing Vincents featured including the John Edgar's 'Bathing Suit' LSR rode by Rollie Free. The story of the Bathing Suit Bike started In 1948 when Philip Vincent was touring America and meeting his dealers. While at V.L. “Mickey” Martin’s shop in Burbank, Calif., he was introduced to John Edgar, a well known West Coast journalist and sportsman with a liking for fast motorcycles. Edgar appreciated that the Black Shadow had the potential to take the American speed record from Harley-Davidson and rider Smokin’ Joe Petrali. And the Vincent “Barn Job” built by Clem Johnson would become the first drag bike racer to go 140, 150 and 160 mph. For more than five years, the machine held the record for both elapsed time and top speed. Its quickest would be 9.70 seconds; its fastest was 151.51 mph. It was for Wayne the occasion to meet with the "one and only" <a href="https://www.alpracingdesign.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Alp Sungurtekin</span></a> and his amazing 1948 Vincent Twin Engine, production number ‘F10AB/1/666’ which became in 2021 the fastest 1000cc Vincent Record Holder of all time with a two way average of 193.621MPH.<br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-71726351440199604022023-09-27T00:55:00.000-07:002023-09-27T00:55:14.300-07:00M/V Paspatoo<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Four were built at Blanchard boat yard in Seattle, WA. This vessel was T-boat 32. <a href="https://www.paspatoo.com/"><span style="color: red;">Paspatoo</span></a> was originally commissioned by the U.S. Army and constructed by the Blanchard Boatyard on Lake Union, Seattle in 1942. <br />Designed by famed naval architect Ralph Winslow. Following a military career, the vessel was sold into civilian life. Where many of these types of vessels were de-commissioned for relatively obscure demise, this is the example of a passion for restoration and updating without equal. Paspatoo underwent a complete restoration and yacht conversion from 1986 to 1999 and complete systems upgrades, with redundancy, from 2003 to 2017.<br />Retrofit interior designed by Eden & Eden Architects, San Francisco, CA.<p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-91304594232614425512023-09-25T06:49:00.004-07:002023-09-25T06:49:43.202-07:00History under the hammer <p> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5FVcR_rkSW6_goJWO0aij-oF29Bn1xJo-d2bMkQOClQXrSZ6_IWixDCJvjqLuKBy4ziHD3xwuglFeH5atuTrNbNk86XfM2v6VRBAMY9VBaJ8BAt5hzChsL9OiDlTto2UPfffSugZ4rE-MafwSIS8a4bicNWnocu0b0hbo00FRjhcLz2GwZmY8Ge5vZQy8/s1000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-09-25%20a%CC%80%2015.33.18.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="621" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5FVcR_rkSW6_goJWO0aij-oF29Bn1xJo-d2bMkQOClQXrSZ6_IWixDCJvjqLuKBy4ziHD3xwuglFeH5atuTrNbNk86XfM2v6VRBAMY9VBaJ8BAt5hzChsL9OiDlTto2UPfffSugZ4rE-MafwSIS8a4bicNWnocu0b0hbo00FRjhcLz2GwZmY8Ge5vZQy8/s16000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-09-25%20a%CC%80%2015.33.18.png" /></a></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">It looks like a Harley-Davidson, but it is indeed a Japanese version of the Harley-Davidson, produced under license.

The sale of the John Parham Motorcycle Collection a couple of weeks ago didn’t receive much coverage in the motorcycle media, perhaps because it wasn't widely recognized that Parham was essentially the National Motorcycle Museum. When a museum collection goes to auction there are always historically significant artifacts on offer, and in this case the sheer volume of high quality lots combined with a non-mainstream location meant that some serious bargains were snaffled. John Parham was the driving force behind the National Motorcycle Museum in Iowa. Following his death, his 300-plus motorcycle collection which formed the core of the museum display, was sold off by Mecum Auctions “in situ” and it contained so many of history’s most important motorcycles that it offered something for everyone, regardless of their two-wheeled interests.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Read more : <a href="https://newatlas.com/motorcycles/history-under-the-hammer-as-national-motorcycle-museum-collection-sells/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Here</span></a><br /></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-78850464913651150952023-09-23T05:30:00.001-07:002023-09-23T05:30:00.143-07:00Son Brull Mallorca<p class="mdm_block" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="mdm_block" style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

close to the town of Pollença, in the southernmost tip of Mallorca,<span style="color: red;"> </span><a href="https://sonbrull.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Son Brull</span></a><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://sonbrull.com/" target="_blank"> </a></span>is a five-star hotel located in an old Jesuit monastery from the
18th century, and which was carefully restored in 2003 by its owners – a
local family with a long experience in the hospitality business – to
turn it into one of the most luxurious touristic complexes on the
island, guaranteeing the preservation of the old building as part of the
historic heritage. The brief called to extend
and refurbish the complex. The owners of the property wanted to
renovate and enlarge the spa of the main building, and to build four new
villas on the land next to it. The project
aims to be part of the territory, to be landscape. It doesn’t try to
occupy the territory, but rather to build it, create a large garden, a
landscape for walks.<p></p><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-68237350996693118332023-09-22T01:30:00.001-07:002023-09-22T01:30:00.146-07:00Danny Lyon: The Destruction of Lower Manhattan<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Curated by Lyon himself, whose life has been marked by his social activism, the exhibition was part of the PhotoEspaña 2020 festival’s official section.<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lyon moved to New York in 1967, after spending two years following around the Chicago Outlaws motorcycle gang, which resulted in The Bikeriders, the series that made him one of the most influential photographers in the United States. Settling in his new home, Lyon found the streets of Lower Manhattan being demolished, and set out to capture with his camera the transformation of one of New York City’s oldest neighborhoods. In his own words, “the entire project is sad, except for the demolition men and their work,” for whom he felt deep respect. So it was that he documented the wrecking of 24 hectares of buildings in the city’s historic center, mostly 19th-century constructions, to make room, among other things, for the new World Trade Center.<br /></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-63882791196762489232023-09-21T01:30:00.001-07:002023-09-21T01:30:00.138-07:00Daktari - Land Rover 109 Serie 2<p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It came in 88 in (2.24 m) and 109 in (2.77 m) wheelbases (normally referred to as the 'SWB' and 'LWB') as the one in the TV serie Daktari. This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department. Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar 'barrel side' waistline, with a 5 in (12.7 cm) greater width to cover the vehicle's wider tracks, as well as the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers. The Series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25-litre petrol engine, although the first 1,500 or so short wheelbase (SWB) models retained the 52 hp (39 kW) 2.0-litre petrol engine from the series I. This larger petrol engine produced 72 hp (54 kW) and was closely related to the 2.0-litre diesel unit still in use. This engine became the standard Land Rover unit until the mid-1980s when diesel engines became more popular. The 109-inch (2.77 m) Series II station wagon introduced a twelve-seater option on top of the standard ten-seater layout. This was primarily to take advantage of UK tax laws, by which a vehicle with 12 seats or more was classed as a bus, and was exempt from Purchase Tax and Special Vehicle Tax. This made the twelve-seater not only cheaper to buy than the 10-seater version, but also cheaper than the seven-seater 88-inch (2.24 m) Station Wagon. The twelve-seater layout remained a highly popular body style for decades, being retained on the later series and Defender variants until 2002, when it was dropped. The unusual status of the twelve-seater remained until the end—such vehicles were classed as minibuses and thus could use bus lanes and (if registered correctly) could be exempt from the London Congestion Charge. There was some degree of overlap between series I and II production. Early Series-II 88-inch (2.24 m) vehicles were fitted with the old 2-litre petrol engine to use up existing stock from production of the Series I. The 107-inch (2.72 m) Station Wagon continued until late 1959 due to continued demand from export markets and to allow the production of series-II components to reach full level. <br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-76312899197081900532023-09-20T00:30:00.001-07:002023-09-20T00:30:00.146-07:00The Lost Generation<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfx1khU6VYfvNVFU3iJjEJ2wKgkUw_hvo_noUg8mV82NdRPjRNeVvAHIidOX1aE9WciuOa75qvbz0ahTiboVNPCWLqFK4I73Tvaz8pnbrXjNL0LTxdcPFLmaNhAGTXU0LscI2ZForBAVcO_Fu22JWechmsJzjR33aF4_uH7mjLS1ICmTKABGsMS_fhh8C/s1599/fuentes%20generacion%20perdida.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1599" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfx1khU6VYfvNVFU3iJjEJ2wKgkUw_hvo_noUg8mV82NdRPjRNeVvAHIidOX1aE9WciuOa75qvbz0ahTiboVNPCWLqFK4I73Tvaz8pnbrXjNL0LTxdcPFLmaNhAGTXU0LscI2ZForBAVcO_Fu22JWechmsJzjR33aF4_uH7mjLS1ICmTKABGsMS_fhh8C/s16000/fuentes%20generacion%20perdida.jpg" /></a></div><br />“I am the only young person in Spain.” With his typical irony a sexagenarian Unamuno exhorted the nation’s youth to engage more with their times, not only politically but also intellectually. But the Basque philosopher was not oblivious to the effervescence of the moment. The Spanish 1920s were years of lead, but also silver; of dictatorship, but also modernization. And though some looked back with longing, amid automobiles, movies, and foxtrots a new generation arose that was happy to live its juncture in history.<br /><br />It was to document this new mood that in 1929, the daily El Sol did a survey of its youngest readers’ opinions on motley themes, from politics and education to sports and love. Of 1,326 responses it published only 36, enough to sketch an upbeat, hedonist, transgressive portrait of a cohort that is the subject of the latest book by Juan Francisco Fuentes, who not only dusts off an interesting sociological history but ventures further to find out who took part in it and what became of them – a historiographic ubi sunt of sorts.<br /><br />Digging into archives, the author came upon many, and he takes us through a maze of biographical profiles that could well have its Ariadne in a very young signatory, Matilde Ucelay. When she sent in her letter the country’s first female architect was a teen, but with astonishing lucidness she expressed a faith in progress and an openness of outlook that made it clear to her elders that many young people in Spain, with the candor of one who doesn’t know what’s coming, were singing “tomorrow… is mine.”<br /><p></p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710073154141836716.post-38313268069474311462023-09-18T04:00:00.001-07:002023-09-18T04:22:46.419-07:00Art in Mallorca<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyMHavuBDOms5JTiOJU8akXh7ncL2_4_g52MRliYNrPldJz5IThT14m36S5zKeKZVj8qos_rqhSiTaoR1A_ZYe5BcbF98raB-AhyLU2BrDi3TuNtOhRPF41gWpzw9BiGxbw3fJcTSnnq9K1sZy_WPiFP2ZkAZypyiH7GGhJBJ5euLTcIpPs-XLZ0jT1sAz/s1000/0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyMHavuBDOms5JTiOJU8akXh7ncL2_4_g52MRliYNrPldJz5IThT14m36S5zKeKZVj8qos_rqhSiTaoR1A_ZYe5BcbF98raB-AhyLU2BrDi3TuNtOhRPF41gWpzw9BiGxbw3fJcTSnnq9K1sZy_WPiFP2ZkAZypyiH7GGhJBJ5euLTcIpPs-XLZ0jT1sAz/s16000/0.jpg" /></a></div><br />The gem of the Mediterranean sea, the largest of the Balearic Islands is best known for its sun, its nature, its beaches, its unspoilt coves and its small villages. Its cultural and architectural heritage, much more discreet, is nevertheless very rich. If the sea, the people, their dialects and customs, as well as gastronomy are part of the daily delights of Majorcan life, art, architecture and crafts also have an essential place. A real heaven for creators, the island has hosted "Art Night" in Palma since 1997. The event, particularly popular with amateurs and professionals, enlivens the entire historic center over a long weekend (which begins on the third Thursday in September): galleries and museums are open until late to the public; artists and pop-ups take over workshops, shop windows, restaurants, bars, roofs of buildings; when curators organize guided tours... <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvJPRwkGmU-StIsYP4wIMk2oCwhj0wXaBiA-ygPo4qZQJ4hXsRATNiCvRvhyBRM_1pp7egmDYtlJgMKxUWV_E6byy5dMzB_24NGJRcdlMeRQcr3KXLZgSqFmTcCHXfbeP2jvS86XJGN5smwM5W32gzxDd6K2-IZdGJnkYosf4XSWQBf_xj-sj3eTSzkoq/s1000/fondation-pilar-et-joan-miro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvJPRwkGmU-StIsYP4wIMk2oCwhj0wXaBiA-ygPo4qZQJ4hXsRATNiCvRvhyBRM_1pp7egmDYtlJgMKxUWV_E6byy5dMzB_24NGJRcdlMeRQcr3KXLZgSqFmTcCHXfbeP2jvS86XJGN5smwM5W32gzxDd6K2-IZdGJnkYosf4XSWQBf_xj-sj3eTSzkoq/s16000/fondation-pilar-et-joan-miro.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Fondation Pilar and Joan Miró </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since 2004, the Art Palma Contemporani association has orchestrated this Art Night, as well as the Art Palma Brunch in the spring, which brings together a large number of galleries revealing their new exhibitions and offers an abundant supply of outdoor art. The still significant presence of a painter such as Joan Miró (1893-1983) is another sign of the importance of art in Palma. Half-Catalan, half-Mallorcan, he moved there in 1956, at the age of 63. His mark is everywhere, between sculptures and frescoes that the artist offered to the city. Inaugurated in 1981, the Pilar i Joan Miró foundation has thus endowed the capital with a teeming cultural center where the painter's career is honored with no less than 6,000 works (paintings, drawings, etc.). The building was designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo. Another must-see is the artist Antonio Gaudí, responsible in 1903 for the (unfinished) renovation of La Seu Cathedral. In the Chapel of San Pedro, the 300 square meter ceramic mural, made between 2001 and 2006 by Miquel Barceló, is impressive. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIiUUlzgvN_WSAxQO69-exQds7LzGNgPc9fBQgOdXyVXp-qX0sBzVojs6ynSeI3C6x9UPMWY2JJY3sz-gTGMOrlH7xYifh62P3zKReFeOxmfG2TbHzyiabWGfekBKQS5gP2ltZ1bXDS7WcKWD0z4lETWiCNDso6-JiQjR6OvbzDYAEIntoYfYLMOEN1ab/s1000/es-raco-d-arta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIiUUlzgvN_WSAxQO69-exQds7LzGNgPc9fBQgOdXyVXp-qX0sBzVojs6ynSeI3C6x9UPMWY2JJY3sz-gTGMOrlH7xYifh62P3zKReFeOxmfG2TbHzyiabWGfekBKQS5gP2ltZ1bXDS7WcKWD0z4lETWiCNDso6-JiQjR6OvbzDYAEIntoYfYLMOEN1ab/s16000/es-raco-d-arta.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Es Raco d'Arta</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="credits"></span>Majorca still hides many other gems.

The place also includes an observatory from which you can admire various installations, a library with more than 7,000 works, etc. A total art concept for this building, the main part of which was designed by the Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy (1900-1989). </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_hBgYyW105bmJwCXwbEjVsPF1LQ4jZETFExwGFkD69RzSidTDqTZCLUOUa5zMhXMxVVsl1K37ZymeE0o2sYxJk5Kbu9PttljjK5wPTMLv20R6qri6QlkgfJ5RHSivvMAtPQOvX_l2lm81vRcv_XwCtLhFqqM3uyXXzrbi4AUgAGBqhVdVAw3edTOuwylr/s1000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-09-08%20a%CC%80%2015.16.43.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_hBgYyW105bmJwCXwbEjVsPF1LQ4jZETFExwGFkD69RzSidTDqTZCLUOUa5zMhXMxVVsl1K37ZymeE0o2sYxJk5Kbu9PttljjK5wPTMLv20R6qri6QlkgfJ5RHSivvMAtPQOvX_l2lm81vRcv_XwCtLhFqqM3uyXXzrbi4AUgAGBqhVdVAw3edTOuwylr/s16000/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202023-09-08%20a%CC%80%2015.16.43.png" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Museo Sa Bassa Blanca </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The houses of the Dane Jorn Utzon (1918-2008), famous in particular for having designed the Sydney Opera House, are also worth seeing: Ca'n Lis (1972), a family summer house with a sea view that he had to abandon it as it attracted curious people and lovers of architecture, now hosts the Utzon Foundation, which organizes, among other events, workshops and residencies for artists and architects for nine months of the year. Can Feliz (1994), also built using traditional Mallorcan construction methods and local materials, is located in the mountains, but its location has remained a secret ever since. In the heart of the old town, Ca’n Vivot already seduces from the outside, thanks to its magnificent patio. Once inside, you enter a palace whose last renovation dates from the 18th century. The only concession to modernity is that electricity has been installed in each room, lit by elegant Murano chandeliers. The library and common areas have been honored by visits from kings and queens from Spain and Europe, but also from Japanese emperors and Indian maharajas. The city-owned Palau Solleric is now an exhibition center. Its architecture and facade, in Italian style, are remarkable. A former palace turned theater, Rialto Living is now a store, exhibition center and café. The Palau March, for its part, displays sculptures by Henry Moore, Auguste Rodin, etc.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghtneS5ul0H_uAgmTNA6lEhhVAG04fxrwi614Sh-VVe392PQO7-64pc9q5cpLYqaSahm4Ly8gQQdxRPfVRXblwrkLRdeSBG74BwCjfCBlG7-X9MWJp27DC6vCpdL74nYueVjlK0-ed_q_7dTEw1pB8X_N4ptBWnBDSa5Q_xqQL9DW_bUZoI0O51R8fquj-/s1000/jorn-utzon-can-lis-family-home-mallorca-13-818x545.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghtneS5ul0H_uAgmTNA6lEhhVAG04fxrwi614Sh-VVe392PQO7-64pc9q5cpLYqaSahm4Ly8gQQdxRPfVRXblwrkLRdeSBG74BwCjfCBlG7-X9MWJp27DC6vCpdL74nYueVjlK0-ed_q_7dTEw1pB8X_N4ptBWnBDSa5Q_xqQL9DW_bUZoI0O51R8fquj-/s16000/jorn-utzon-can-lis-family-home-mallorca-13-818x545.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Ca'n Lis </p><p style="text-align: justify;">But these days, the new architectural gems are the hotels designed by local builders. For example, Es Racó d'Artà, by Antoni Esteva: in a spectacular setting, in the heart of the vast natural park of the península de Llevant, on the wild east coast, the place, which offers spa, infinity pools, guided hikes , yoga classes and daily workshops (beekeeping, art therapy, etc.), invites you to reconnect and find inner calm. Designed by Sergi Bastidas, Can Ferrereta, housed in a 17th century mansion in the village of Santanyí, is a refined boutique hotel. Opened in spring 2022, in the lands of the south-east coast, it evokes a large Majorcan summer house and allows you to discover this little-known part of the island. Overlooking the bay of Palma, Cap Rocat, property of Antonio Obrador, who is also its architect, is a place of unique beauty. Situated in the middle of a fortified citadel, completely renovated, it invites you on a journey back in time.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgcNDVYRy0vbNaXhs09KDAncurBGSlIxOkH5cCbSZKwO-PfypOR4Jk40T6IqLoVNagkRBiKGftvHNnnMwo-euOUnK3RMa5YZG0uRwMUeXGoh5m3paT1TLOy5vtiGYFRu562cqYS35eW8xp7zUuD6ubh4s8Gx3cHlhLRGmrf-AgOw-5soIByl2kGR8un5_9/s1000/cap-rocat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgcNDVYRy0vbNaXhs09KDAncurBGSlIxOkH5cCbSZKwO-PfypOR4Jk40T6IqLoVNagkRBiKGftvHNnnMwo-euOUnK3RMa5YZG0uRwMUeXGoh5m3paT1TLOy5vtiGYFRu562cqYS35eW8xp7zUuD6ubh4s8Gx3cHlhLRGmrf-AgOw-5soIByl2kGR8un5_9/s16000/cap-rocat.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Cap Rocat</p>the motArthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211109660862259303noreply@blogger.com0
