The steep snow meeting the rock in the upper-middle part of the frame is the final snow climb, which we protected with multiple pickets. I was the last climber of both teams, so I ended up racking and climbing with the pickets for the class 3 rock finish.

Shuksan, its 500' summit pyramid looms ahead. When you can see your ultimate challenge as you cross a glacier, a lot goes through you head. "That looks scary." "Will I be able to climb that?" "Where's the route up?" When you get closer, some of the questions get answered. The answers to most don't come until you have hands on rock. Mt.

As the legend goes, should the ravens of the Tower of London ever fly away or perish, the kingdom of Britain will collapse. Superstition’s influence leaves its mark: the Tower keeps 6 ravens to fulfill the requirements of legend as well as a spare, ready to fill in for any lost birds. The ravens roam the grounds, well taken care of by an appointed Ravenmaster and loved by all, each with its own unique personality. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Here, a young Japanese woman sits in the intimate space of The Letter Writing Project, observing other letters as she takes a break from writing her own. The artist asks you to remove your shoes, sit, and compose a letter to someone close. The letter should be about something you wished you tell that person but haven’t, perhaps out of anxiety or fear or the busy-ness of everyday life. Upon completion, you have a choice: place the letter on the wall of the space either open for others to read, or closed to remain private. I sobbed as I completed my letter and set it on the shelf unsealed, hoping someone would read it and come to the same conclusion found in the few dozen words penned.

The rope weighs around 40 tons. Hundreds of thousands gather in the street to recreate an ancient metaphorical battle between the East and the West.

Honestly, everyone just stood on the rope whether they won or lost. it is customary for the rope to be cut into pieces for people to take home after the tug-of-war concludes.

Driver Bob Williams looks at the Branson Belle from a duck boat on Table Lake in Branson, Missouri. One month later nearly to the day, a duck boat from the same tour company carrying 31 passengers capsized on the lake, overwhelmed by stormy conditions. 17 people drowned. Later reports mentioned the driver among the casualties; I wondered, for a moment while reading the article, if the driver was Bob. I remember, when we entered the water, considering what I would do if the boat started sinking. My first thought went to my father, who's getting older. But he's been swimming and fishing the rough waters of O'ahu for over 60 years. He'd be fine. My sister and brother-in-law? Strong swimmers too. The rest of the 25 passengers, mostly in their 70s? Not sure. I glanced at the life vests from time to time. The captain pointed them out while we drove toward the boat launch. When we disembarked from the boat at the end of the tour, I handed Bob a $20 bill as a tip, and thanked him. A sign above the captain/driver's chair read "tips accepted for a job well done." I felt really safe when Bob drove the duck boat. He didn't say much during the tour, but in our few interactions I felt drawn to him. Something about his calm demeanor. Maybe it was because he didn't tell any cringingly corny jokes, which were coming from the captain at a rate of three or four per minute. "Bob is cool," I told my sister in the rental car as we drove away. "I want to hang out with Bob." She agreed. On Friday, the driver who passed away in the accident was identified: Robert "Bob" Williams. https://www.michaeltoyama.com/the-ocean daily 0.75 2021-09-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59e82b8d49fc2bad966ab37a/t/6143c7d35d642f3d1846debc/1631829184604/ The Ocean https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59e82b8d49fc2bad966ab37a/6132508614e89d36248e52a5/6143bcc0f1ca310e255163c2/1631829184604/ The Ocean https://www.michaeltoyama.com/roads-of-the-american-west daily 0.75 2017-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e82b8d49fc2bad966ab37a/1509839877642-8K43ZYO2UPOANZXW1DHQ/DJI_0050_sq_web.jpg Roads of the American West Farmlands.
