Very cool pictures. Sonoran Desert I love, recall seeing a Road Runner and their Desert Museum. Also there was a high terrain place with many pine trees with tons of Hummingbirds with feeders. So long ago I do not recall specifics of the place names as my Aunt & Uncle drive me to these places. That picture of a lighthouse you took is amazing, should be framed as that picture really draws in you in as so beautiful.
They say if we can see a rainbow, some animal's more open eye can see it clear banded across the sky. I imagine in those green bushes i am seeing the green shading into blue greens, maybe.
And Australia - though on a far smaller scale - operated likewise with internment camps - most of which i have visited once I began studying Japanese and realised the enormity of the racism/paranoia here, too - as with the US and Canada... Jim
Thanks for all this - and Ansel Adams, too - plus references to Ukraine and its war against its own citizens in the Donbass - and Scott Ritter. With all of which I concur... I've just had a note from a friend from Hawai'i - she was on the JET Program in Shimane-ken in Japan - her grand-father an immigrant from Hiroshima-ken to Hawai'i - when I was an exchange teacher from Australia (NSW) to Matsue-city in Shimane-ken in 1991. She and husband Chris Takeno (with Filipina/Japanese ancestry) have a son currently at Melbourne U - and will visit Sydney (130 km south from where we live). I hope to catch them for a drink at least on one of the couple of days they will visit Sydney. I bought a little car (no real value) from Charlene when she left Japan - a little Daihatsu Cuore (Italian for Heart) - and got some thousands of km out of it before it conked out and we got an even smaller Suzuki Cervo (Italian for Goat- Mountain Goat?) but it ran on nothing and we had little money - nevertheless one trip from Japan's west up to Tōkyō and around - and back - went perfectly! 2500km. I think altogether in over a year I drive some 25,000 km in it.
Memorial to WWII interned Japanese - or to Chinese railroad builders? Loved the hummingbird - almost impossible to photograph without a blur of wings/head&beak! Beautiful snows on the slopes - bus in the snow!
The Trumpers are already building more along the southern border, but the inmates won't be limited to migrants. Trump said he will imprison mentally ill, drug addicts, homeless and various socialist, leftist "scum".
I got snowed in in Lake Tahoe National Forest in May! Lucky to get out - warmed up and we had a quick melt.

That lighthouse is in Crescent City California.

Hi Nat - I updated the post with a slightly stronger rainbow, from the Taos Plateau!
Thankyou i lived at the earthship site by the river for one year. Me and the secretive tarntlas.

Yes, a Japanese concentration camp called Manzanar (in California) - a National Historic Site, see:
