  • This image of Jack Tar first appeared after 1841, when the US Navy regulated its uniforms for the first time, with shore leave uniform of open jacket, red neckerchief, black shoes, and black brimmed hat. This "Jack Tar, Mid-19th century" carved and painted wood trade sign originally stood outside a San Francisco ships' chandler shop, which sold navigational instruments and naval supplies. It was later used as a cigar store figure in San Jose, California. Hats water-proofed with tar or dark paint gave the ordinary sailor the nickname "Jack Tar." Shelburne Museum is one of the finest, most diverse, unconventional museums of American folk art. Visit this extensive museum in the town of Shelburne, near Lake Champlain, in Vermont, USA. Over 150,000 works are exhibited in 38 buildings, 25 of which are historic (relocated from New England and New York). See impressionist paintings, American paintings, artifacts of the 1600s-1900s, folk art, quilts and textiles, carriages, furniture, a lighthouse, covered bridge, and 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga.

  • Hawaii's native Hala tree is also known as Tahitian Screwpine, Pu Hala, Screw Pine, Textile Screwpine, Thatch Screwpine, Pandanus, Pandan, Tourist Pineapple or Pineapple Tree (Pandanus tectorius, or synonyms: P. chamissonis, P. douglasii, P. menziesii, P. odoratissimus; in the Screw-pine family, Pandanaceae). Some people mistake hala fruit heads for pineapples, which are unrelated plants. Cultivated varieties of Hala differing from the native version were brought to Hawaii by the ancient Polynesians in their canoes. Hala was useful for medicinal purposes, and the fruit was eaten and used to make leis. Its roots could make cordage. Hala leaves served as thatch and could be stripped of spiny edges to be woven or plaited into mats, pillows, sails, baskets, hats, sandals, and fans. A beautiful day hike along the slippery Kalalau Trail goes from Ke'e Beach to Hanakapiai Beach, with a rougher side trip to impressive Hanakapiai Falls, in Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, USA. To reach Hanakapiai Valley's waterfall, follow the signed clay trails for a moderately strenuous 8.8 miles round trip with 2200 feet cumulative gain (measured on my GPS)

  • Andean mountain boys dress in traditional red ponchos and felt hats in the Cordillera Urubamba, Andes highlands, Peru, South America. The moderately strenuous trek from Lares to Patacancha (near Ollantaytambo) traverses rugged, little-visited country in the Cordillera Urubamba across passes at 13,800 and 14,200 feet elevation. A five hour bus ride from Cuzco reaches Lares, where you can soak in developed hot spring pools. Llamas and horses carried our loads for two nights of camping at 12,500 feet elevation.

  • A woman with felt hat and gold necklaces attends Otavalo Market in Ecuador, Imbabura Province, South America. The culturally vibrant town of Otavalo attracts many tourists to a valley of the Imbabura Province of Ecuador, surrounded by the peaks of Imbabura 4,610m, Cotacachi 4,995m, and Mojanda volcanoes. The indigenous Otavaleños are famous for weaving textiles, usually made of wool, which are sold at the famous Saturday market and smaller markets during the rest of the week. The Plaza del Ponchos and many shops tantalize buyers with a wide array of handicrafts. Nearby villages and towns are also famous for particular crafts: Cotacachi, the center of Ecuador's leather industry, is known for its polished calf skins; and San Antonio specializes in wood carving of statues, picture frames and furniture. Otavaliña women traditionally wear distinctive white embroidered blouses, with flared lace sleeves, and black or dark over skirts, with cream or white under skirts. Long hair is tied back with a 3cm band of woven multi colored material, often matching the band which is wound several times around their waists. They usually have many strings of gold beads around their necks, and matching tightly wound long strings of coral beads around each wrist. Men wear white trousers, and dark blue ponchos. Otavalo is also known for its Inca-influenced traditional music (sometimes known as Andean New Age) and musicians who travel around the world.

  • A worn hat hangs on an old chair in a dilapidated room. Bodie is California's official state gold rush ghost town. Bodie State Historic Park lies in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County, near Bridgeport, California, USA. After W. S. Bodey's original gold discovery in 1859, profitable gold ore discoveries in 1876 and 1878 transformed "Bodie" from an isolated mining camp to a Wild West boomtown. By 1879, Bodie had a population of 5000-7000 people with 2000 buildings. At its peak, 65 saloons lined Main Street, which was a mile long. Bodie declined rapidly 1912-1917 and the last mine closed in 1942. Bodie became a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and Bodie State Historic Park in 1962.

  • Family riders on horseback tour the Hat Shop in Kodachrome Basin State Park, Utah, USA. Geologists believe that ancient hot springs and geysers in the park area filled with sediment and solidified. Through time, the Entrada sandstone surrounding the solidified geysers eroded, leaving large sand pipes. 67 sand pipes rise in the park from 2 to 52 meters high. You can drive to the park from the north via a paved road from Cannonville and from the south via Cottonwood Canyon, Road 400, a dirt road from the Page, Arizona area, passable for most vehicles in dry conditions.

  • A dulcimer and felt hat hang by a quilted bed in a cabin interior at Humpback Rocks Mountain Farm, a restored 1890s farmstead open to the public at Milepost 5.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, in Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains (a subset of the Appalachian Mountains), USA. In summer, costumed interpreters demonstrate 1890s southern Appalachian mountain life. European settlers of the Appalachian Mountains forged a living from abundant native materials: hickory, chestnut, and oak trees provided nuts for food, logs for building, and tannin for curing hides; and the rocks were used as foundations, chimneys and stone fences. This farm was originally a Land Grant tract dispensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia to induce pioneers to settle; and later it became known as the William J. Carter Farm. The scenic 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, following crestlines and the Appalachian Trail.

  • At the Chonchi Rodeo on Chiloé Island, Huasos (Chilean cowboys, skilled horsemen) try to pin a bull against a fence between two flags then reverse the animal, three times. Alli, alli, alli! Good and bad points (bueno y malo) are awarded for their efforts. Huasos are found all over Central and Southern Chile (but the Magellanes Region sheep raisers are called gauchos). A country woman skilled with horses is a huasa, and the wife or sweetheart of a huaso is called a china. Founded in 1767, Chonchi is a town of 12,500 people (as of 2002) on Isla de Chiloé, the largest island in Chile. Huasos typically wear a straw hat called a chupalla and a poncho (called a manta or a chamanto) over a short Andalusian waist jacket.

  • At the Chonchi Rodeo on Chiloé Island, Huasos (Chilean cowboys, skilled horsemen) try to pin a bull against a fence between two flags then reverse the animal, three times. Alli, alli, alli! Good and bad points (bueno y malo) are awarded for their efforts. Huasos are found all over Central and Southern Chile (but the Magellanes Region sheep raisers are called gauchos). A country woman skilled with horses is a huasa, and the wife or sweetheart of a huaso is called a china. Founded in 1767, Chonchi is a town of 12,500 people (as of 2002) on Isla de Chiloé, the largest island in Chile. Huasos typically wear a straw hat called a chupalla and a poncho (called a manta or a chamanto) over a short Andalusian waist jacket. Photo is from 1993 in Chonchi, Chiloé Island, Los Lagos Region, Zona Austral, Chile, South America.

  • On a hand loom, an Andean woman weaves for a month on a rug which she sells for just $35 US. Her village is too far in the mountains for government to extend electric lines. She wears a felt hat and subsists on raising alpacas much as did her Inca ancesters. The moderately strenuous trek from Lares to Patacancha (near Ollantaytambo) traverses rugged, little-visited country in the Cordillera Urubamba across passes at 13,800 and 14,200 feet elevation. A five hour bus ride from Cuzco reaches Lares, where you can soak in developed hot spring pools. Llamas and horses carried our loads for two nights of camping at 12,500 feet elevation.
