The proper term is “allow list”

There was a time when “concentration camp” didn’t have a universally negative connotation. I’m willing to bet decades into our future “immigration detention centers” will have that same negative association.

Yeah, that’s not an uncommon way to handle cheaters. Y’all had spygate and deflategate and then cry about being mistreated? Cope harder.

I treat my photos like I do production…3 copies on 3 tiers. Tier 1 is nvme on my PC, Tier 2 is SATA SSD on a second PC, Tier 3 is in the cloud.

Together, they create a landscape that blends volcanic grandeur with tranquil waters, making the area a true gem for nature lovers.

Nearby, Baker Lake stretches along the base of the mountains, a serene reservoir framed by lush forests and rugged ridges. The lake is a haven for camping, fishing, and kayaking, providing a peaceful contrast to the dramatic slopes of Kulshan.

Kulshan is a majestic stratovolcano in the North Cascades of Washington State, renowned for its snow-capped peak and stunning alpine scenery. It towers over the surrounding wilderness, offering breathtaking views and serving as a popular destination for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Treaty of the Danish West Indies (1916) not only transferred the islands to the US (for $25 million) but also included an agreement for the US to cede interests in Greenland.

Seasonal flows vary from a thundering torrent in winter and spring to a gentler, more intimate ribbon in late summer, but at any time the site conveys the quiet, rugged beauty typical of Skamania County’s wilderness. Wy’East (Mt Hood) makes an appearance on the horizon.

A moderate trail leads to viewpoints that reveal both the upper tiers and a powerful main drop, making it accessible for visitors seeking memorable compositions at sunrise or late afternoon alpenglow.

Plunging over moss-covered basalt and framed by old-growth evergreens and ferns, the falls offer photographers and hikers a classic Pacific Northwest scene: veils of white water, deep green canopies, and often a soft mist that creates fleeting rainbows in the right light.

Once the road opens there can be drifts of 20' or more and you will frequently find skiers and snowboarders playing in the snow.

This shot was taken from Chinook Pass on the border between Yakima and Pierce Counties. Chinook Pass closes during the winter due to snow and it usually takes about 2 months for crews to clear away the snow so the road can open by Memorial day.

At 14,411' above sea level Tahoma ranks 17th tallest mountain in the US but with 13,210' of prominence it ranks #1 in the contiguous US and #4 in the US for topographical prominence, in other words, it sticks out and above everything around it.
