The projection of the network of rivers within the United States Jason Davies mapped above, in the header to this post, creates an entrancing web of the body of rivers less as a network, but a nourishing group of waterways. The map’s beauty provokes us to rethink relations between land and water. In rendering rivers, rather than territory, it suggests how a dynamic mapping of layers and overlays from directly and remotely sensed data might lead to a range of new cartographical strategies to chart the increasingly complex relationships between land and water in ways that would be less concerned to abstract the waterways or supplies of water from their surrounding environment, but to integrate water into the landscape and ecosystem which it nourishes–or the ways that the entry of pollutants into that hydrographic network might compromise local ecosystems across the country. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"INSULAR 1 : characteristic of an isolated people especially : being, having, or reflecting a narrow provincial viewpoint." I count 3 states that that are insular solely within their drawn borders: Vermont, Rhode Island, & Delaware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Seeing as this thread is about "pictures of various things," meaning effectively, "anything," I thought I'd post this as I find it interesting. This shows German soldiers some time after June 1941, somewhere in Russia most likely. The sign reads: "Here begins the (swear word for buttocks) of the world."

Wacka Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 That picture of the Arizona is from the later 50s. My dad was stationed on the crash crew at the naval airfield on Ford Island in 1950-1951 (never had plane crash or have problems landing while he was there). He told me the superstructure of the Arizona was still attached and sticking out of the water while he was there. He also told me they kept the bullet holes in the walls of the barracks to remind them. My parents visited Oahu in 1986 and the barracks were replaced with retired admiral housing then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
