  • Sycamore Gap. Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium) at Steel Rigg, England, United Kingdom, Europe. As the Roman Empire's largest artifact, Hadrian’s Wall runs 117.5 kilometres (73.0 miles) across northern England, from the banks of River Tyne near the North Sea to Solway Firth on the Irish Sea. Much of the wall still stands and can be walked along the adjoining Hadrian's Wall Path. Within the Roman province of Britannia, it defended the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years. It was built by the Roman army on the orders of the emperor Hadrian in the 6 years following his visit to Britain in AD 122. From north side to south, the wall comprised a ditch, stone wall, military way and vallum (another ditch with adjoining mounds). The wall featured milecastles with two turrets in between and a fort about every five Roman miles. Hadrian’s Wall is honored as a World Heritage Site. The wall lies entirely within England, and is unrelated to the Scottish border, which lies north of the wall at distances varying from 1-109 kilometers (0.6-68 miles) away.

  • On the border between Argentina and Chile, Mount Fitz Roy rises into clouds 2500 meters (8200 feet) above Lago Sucia (left) in Los Glaciares National Park, in the southern Andes mountains, Patagonia, Argentina, South America. Hike to the glacial cirque of Laguna de los Tres (right) from El Chaltén village, which was built in 1985 by Argentina to help secure the disputed border with Chile. The frontier tourist town of El Chaltén is 220 km (3 hours drive) north of the larger town of El Calafate. In 1877, explorer Perito Moreno named ?Cerro Fitz Roy? for Robert FitzRoy (with no space before the capital R) who, as captain of the HMS Beagle, had travelled up the Santa Cruz River in 1834 and charted much of the Patagonian coast. First climbed in 1952 by French alpinists Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone, Mount Fitz Roy (3405 meters or 11,170 feet elevation) has fickle, windy weather and is one of the world's most challenging technical ascents. It is also called Cerro Chaltén, Cerro Fitz Roy, and Monte Fitz Roy (with a space before the R). Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche (Aonikenk) word meaning "smoking mountain" (explained by frequent orographic clouds). Cerro is a Spanish word meaning hill. The foot of South America is known as Patagonia, a name derived from coastal giants, Patagão or Patagoni, who were reported by Magellan's 1520s voyage circumnavigating the world and were actually Tehuelche native people who averaged 25 cm (or 10 inches) taller than the Spaniards. Mount Fitz Roy is the basis for the Patagonia company's clothing logo, after Yvon Chouinard's ascent and subsequent film in 1968.

As the Roman Empire's largest artifact, Hadrian’s Wall runs 117.5 kilometres (73.0 miles) across northern England, from the banks of River Tyne near the North Sea to Solway Firth on the Irish Sea. Much of the wall still stands and can be walked along the adjoining Hadrian's Wall Path. Within the Roman province of Britannia, it defended the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years. It was built by the Roman army on the orders of the emperor Hadrian in the 6 years following his visit to Britain in AD 122. From north side to south, the wall comprised a ditch, stone wall, military way and vallum (another ditch with adjoining mounds). The wall featured milecastles with two turrets in between and a fort about every five Roman miles. Hadrian’s Wall is honored as a World Heritage Site. The wall lies entirely within England, and is unrelated to the Scottish border, which lies north of the wall at distances varying from 1-109 kilometers (0.6-68 miles) away.

  • At Plott Balsam Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Milepost 457.9, elevation 5020 ft), view fall foliage colors in mid October, in North Carolina, USA. The bend in US Highway 19 seen below turns down from Soco Gap and descends to Cherokee. The sign at Plott Balsam Overlook reads: "Before you lies the massive Plott Balsam Range. On one of its eastern slopes Henry Plott, a German immigrant's son, made his home in the early 1800s. In this game-filled frontier, hunting dogs were a prized possesion. Here Henry Plott and his descendants developed the famous Plott Bear Hounds carefully selecting for the qualities of stamina, courage, and alertness the breed possesses today." North Carolina's state dog is the the Plott Hound. The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway was built 1935-1987 to aesthetically connect Shenandoah National Park (in Virginia) with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. (The Smokies are a subrange of the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Appalachian Mountains.)

  • We slept at Complejo Kalenshen Hosteria in a comfortable cabin with kitchen, in the enjoyable frontier tourist town of El Chaltén, in the southern Andes mountains, Argentina, South America. Enjoy exciting hikes to view Mount Fitz Roy, glaciers, rivers, and lakes. El Chaltén was built in 1985 by Argentina to help secure the disputed border with Chile. The nearest airport is 220 km south at El Calafate. Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche (Aonikenk) word meaning "smoking mountain" (explained by frequent orographic clouds). The foot of South America is known as Patagonia, a name derived from coastal giants, Patagão or Patagoni, who were reported by Magellan's 1520s voyage circumnavigating the world and were actually Tehuelche native people who averaged 25 cm (or 10 inches) taller than the Spaniards.

  • On the border between Argentina and Chile, Mount Fitz Roy rises into clouds 2500 meters (8200 feet) above Lago Sucia (left) in Los Glaciares National Park, in the southern Andes mountains, Patagonia, Argentina, South America. Hike to the glacial cirque of Laguna de los Tres (right) from El Chaltén village, which was built in 1985 by Argentina to help secure the disputed border with Chile. The frontier tourist town of El Chaltén is 220 km (3 hours drive) north of the larger town of El Calafate. In 1877, explorer Perito Moreno named "Cerro Fitz Roy" for Robert FitzRoy (no space before the capital R) who, as captain of the HMS Beagle, had travelled up the Santa Cruz River in 1834 and charted much of the Patagonian coast. First climbed in 1952 by French alpinists Lionel Terray and Guido Magnone, Mount Fitz Roy (3405 meters or 11,170 feet elevation) has fickle, windy weather and is one of the world's most challenging technical ascents. It is also called Cerro Chaltén, Cerro Fitz Roy, and Monte Fitz Roy (with a space before the R). Chaltén comes from a Tehuelche (Aonikenk) word meaning "smoking mountain" (explained by frequent orographic clouds). Cerro is a Spanish word meaning hill. The foot of South America is known as Patagonia, a name derived from coastal giants, Patagão or Patagoni, who were reported by Magellan's 1520s voyage circumnavigating the world and were actually Tehuelche native people who averaged 25 cm (or 10 inches) taller than the Spaniards. Mount Fitz Roy is the basis for the Patagonia company's clothing logo, after Yvon Chouinard's ascent and subsequent film in 1968. Panorama stitched from 5 overlapping photos.

  • A map of North and South America shows our flight from Seattle 7000 miles (through Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas) to Buenos Aires, taking 15 hours in the air. Argentina is plus 5 hours jet lag from Pacific Standard Time (West Coast, USA). Our adventure travel in Argentina and Chile lasted from February 3 to March 11, 2005. We flew 1500 miles from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, on the Argentina side of the island archipelago of Tierra del Fuego. We cruised 12 days round trip through the Beagle Channel and across the rough 400-mile Drake Passage to explore the frozen Antarctic Peninsula. A short airplane flight took us from Ushuaia to working-class Punta Arenas in Chile, where a hired van drove us to the tourist town of Puerto Natales. We hiked the W Route to admire striking mountain scenery in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. We bused into Argentina to the bustling tourist town of El Calafate, where day rental of a car let us visit the spectacular Moreno Glacier on our own schedule. A bus took us to the fun frontier village of El Chalten where several day hikes explored the awesome Mount Fitz Roy area. A flight from El Calafate returned to Buenos Aires. In Chile, Patagonia includes the territory of Valdivia through Tierra del Fuego archipelago. Spanning both Argentina and Chile, the foot of South America is known as Patagonia, a name derived from coastal giants ("Patagão" or "Patagoni" who were actually Tehuelche native people who averaged 25 cm taller than the Spaniards) who were reported by Magellan's 1520s voyage circumnavigating the world.

  • A wagon with iron-bound wooden wheels stands outside late 1800s wooden buildings preserved at the outdoor history museum of Nevada City, Montana, USA. Nevada City was a booming placer gold mining camp from 1863-1876, but quickly declined into a virtual ghost town. This fascinating town inspires you to imagination what life must have been like in early Montana when gold was discovered at nearby Alder Gulch. More than 90 buildings from across Montana have been gathered for preservation at Nevada City, mostly owned by the people of the State of Montana, and managed by the Montana Heritage Commission. In 2001, the excellent PBS television series "Frontier House" used one of the buildings and its furnishings to train families in re-creating pioneer life. A miner's court trial and hanging of George Ives in the main street of Nevada City was the catalyst for forming the Vigilantes, a group of citizens famous for taking justice into their own hands in 1863-1864. Directions: go 27 miles southeast of Twin Bridges, Montana on Highway 287.

  • Two original buildings, outstanding examples of American frontier architecture, are preserved and open to the public as Elkhorn State Park (managed by the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks; and recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey). Gillian Hall (left) was built in the 1880s and served as a store, saloon, and dance hall. Fraternity Hall (right), was built in the 1890s for shows, dances, and lodge meetings. The silver, gold and lead mines at Elkhorn began booming in 1875, then declined in 1892 as silver prices dropped. A few miners still work the Elkhorn mines and live in private homes near these historic State Park buildings within Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Directions: I-15 at Boulder exit, 7 miles south on Montana 69, then 11 miles north on county graveled road. (Lat 46.275,  Lng  -111.946)

  • In our trusty rental VW Suran (Highline), we drive east towards Argentina on dusty Ruta 231 near Futaleufu, in Palena Province, Chile, Andes mountains, Patagonia, South America. The frontier town Futaleufu hosts forestry, cattle farming, and adventure tourism including whitewater rafting, fishing, mountain biking, trekking, and canyoneering. Located 7 miles from the Argentinian border, Futaleufu (population 2,000) is most easily accessed from airports in Esquel and Bariloche, Argentina. The town is named after the crystal blue Futaleufú River, considered one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in the world. The name Futaleufu derives from a Mapudungun word meaning "Big River". A gravel road links the town to Trevelin in Argentina and to the Carretera Austral. Following the eruption of Chaitén Volcano and the subsequent destruction of Chaitén, Futaleufú has been the administrative capital of Palena Province since March 2009.

  • Pinnacle Overlook (2440 feet elevation) in Virginia, in Cumberland Gap National Historic Park, rises 1400 feet above the town of Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. Tristate Peak rises to 1990 feet elevation on the middle right, where the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia meet, as resolved in 1803. On the far right is the pass of Cumberland Gap (elevation 1600 feet / 488 meters) in the Cumberland Mountains region of the Appalachian Mountains, also known as the Cumberland Water Gap, famous in American history for its role as the chief passageway through the central Appalachians and as an important part of the Wilderness Road. Long used by Native Americans, the path was widened by a team of loggers led by Daniel Boone, making it accessible to pioneers, who used it to journey into the western frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee. The gap was formed by an ancient creek, flowing southward, which cut through the land being pushed up to form the mountains. As the land rose even more, the creek reversed direction flowing into the Cumberland River to the north. Panorama stitched from 3 overlapping photos.

  • This statue outside of York Minster honors Constantine the Great (or Saint Constantine, AD 274 - 337) who was proclaimed Roman Emperor in York in AD 306. York is in North Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, Europe. Constantine was a Roman Emperor of Illyrian-Greek origin from 306 to 337. While campaigning under his father in Britannia (Britain), Constantine was acclaimed as emperor by the army at Eboracum (modern-day York) after his father's death in 306 AD. He emerged victorious in a series of civil wars against Emperors Maxentius and Licinius to become sole ruler of both west and east by 324 AD. Among his many major reforms, Constantine separated the civil and military authorities. To combat inflation, he introduced a new gold coin, the solidus, the standard for Byzantine and European currencies for more than a thousand years. Constantine was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, and he played an influential role in the proclamation of the Edict of Milan in 313, which declared religious tolerance for Christianity in the Roman empire. He called the First Council of Nicaea in 325, at which the Nicene Creed was adopted by Christians. Constantine pursued successful campaigns against the tribes on the Roman frontiers—the Franks, the Alamanni, the Goths, and the Sarmatians—even resettling territories abandoned by his predecessors during the Crisis of the Third Century. He built a new imperial residence at Byzantium and renamed the city Constantinople after himself. It became the capital of the Empire for more than a thousand years, and the later Eastern Empire was known as the Byzantine Empire. He replaced Diocletian's tetrarchy with the principle of dynastic succession by leaving the empire to his sons. He is venerated as a saint by Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholics. Historically, he has been called the "First Christian Emperor" for his promotion of the Christian Church, but some modern scholars d
