Description
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEFF!!
I know how you love history, so here's a bit from this part of the world. Last week when I was in Truckee, California, I wandered around the Donner Memorial Park, which is on the site of the ill fated Donner Party. It was quite a feeling, knowing I was walking on the same spot where so much tragedy occurred. This whole area is such a huge part of California's past. Here's a link to a more detailed account.

I have done years-worth or reading about the Donnor Party and the survivors. The divided opinions, the contrary statements, the undisputed tragedy that occured... It is a moving story and yet its only one of many horrors faced in settling this country. A moving shot, Marilyn.

Great capture of this monument dedicated to the westward expansion...and when you think about it, wasn't all that long ago. Isn't it an experience to walk where those who have made history once tread?

Thank you Marilyn a wonderful photograph and the link worked ok for me, and made very interesting reading, I think there was a film about this that I saw a few years ago, I can't remember the name of it, or all the detail but it was something like this anyhow. I did not know the name or associate it with the film I saw until I started to read the information from the link. Thanks very much. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!! I'm going back to the link now for an indepth read.

Hmmm, from this vantage point I could swear that's Abraham Lincoln as a young trapper. Good light/dark and textural effects in this upward looking capture, Marilyn! I like the mottled base of the statue.
