Shadow Shot Sunday and Mosaic Monday: Upstate New York


Last week I posted a montage of Times Square Photos.
This week I thought I'd share a bit of upstate New York




where life is a bit slower and guys don't run around
in cowboy hats and briefs that say "Naked Cowboy."

Like night and day...NYC and upstate New York, that is. They may as well be a continent away from each other... Lovely lady at the fence.

Upstate New York is beautiful; my father came from the finger-lake district and we spent many a summer there. However, the photo in my album of the Naked Cowboy is also a fond memory:)

Upstate New York was part of my old stomping grounds when we lived in Kingston Ontario. We spent many a chilly Saturday or Sunday in arenas in the small towns when our son was playing hockey. What a pretty part of your country it is.

You may or may not know that the Nez Percé   had been granted reservation lands in 1855  by the Washington Territory's  territorial governor, Isaac Stevens.  The land reserved for the tribe encompassed  their traditional hunting lands,  including the Wallowa Valley.  But as settlement by whites continued and gold was found,  the incentive to honor that treaty diminished. The Nez Percé were offered a much smaller reservation centered around Lapwai, Idaho with schools,  a hospital and financial rewards.  In exchange, they had to cede their hunting lands.  Some of the tribal chiefs agreed,  but Chief Joseph (1840 - 1904) refused.  Unable come to an agreement with the U.S. government,  the non-treaty bands were threatened with forcible removal  if they did not voluntarily reloca
