Eagle Lake in Spaulding, California

March 31, 2022

Eagle Lake lies in a natural basin largely bounded by volcanic rocks. It is fed mainly by Pine Creek, which flows from the higher country near Lassen Peak to the west. The lake’s alkaline water (pH 8+) is home to the Eagle Lake trout, a subspecies of rainbow trout found nowhere else, that is a prized sport fish.

Klitmøller Beach in Klitmøller, Denmark

March 31, 2022

Klitmøller...

In the Footsteps of Ecuador's 'Mama Warrior'

March 31, 2022

At the turn of the 20th century, Indigenous Kichwa communities in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador existed under a cruel hacienda system. Most Kichwa people lived in small adobe huts and worked for landowners who often withheld pay, keeping them in debt, and violently punished or humiliated them for not obeying the rules. This is the scene that Dolores Cacuango was born into in 1881, and this is the scene that inspired her 30-year struggle for Indigenous rights. Cacuango—or...

Sanquhar Castle in Sanquhar, Scotland

March 31, 2022

Though now a ruin, Sanquhar Castle was once the stronghold of a powerful family. Bound on the west side by the River Nith, to the north side by Townfoot Burn, the castle was made even more defensible by a deep ditch running around the remainder of its boundary. The lands originally belonged to the Edgar family, then passed to the Ross family who built the first castle here. The Crichton family obtained the lands during the reign of Robert the...

Ficus La Raiz in Monteverde, Costa Rica

March 31, 2022

In the hills around Santa Elena in Monteverde, you can find a hand-painted sign for Raiz, a root bridge that extends across a trickling creek. The simple sign directs you to a rudimentary path through the cloud forest that leads down, towards the stream. It will be obvious when you arrive at Ficus la Raiz, also called el Puente Raiz or the Root Bridge. The roots of a large woody ficus plant criss-cross the small valley to form a...

Église Saint-Maurice de Mervans in Mervans, France

March 31, 2022

Whether the twisted roof of the Mervans church tower was intentionally built this way or whether it has twisted over time is a matter of debate. In addition, when the church collapsed in 1902, the tower was the only part of the church that remained completely undamaged. Of course, that gives people a lot of room for legends. The church was built in the 14th century on the site of an older Roman church. It’s dedicated to Saint Maurice,...

Martyrs' Tomb Glen Trool in Dumfries and...

March 31, 2022

The square bricked tomb in the woods of Glentrool commemorates six Covenanters who were surprised while praying and shot on the spot. There is a plaque and carved stone within the walled enclosure and a large stone placed on the four outside walls to enable people to view inside. The Covenanters were Scottish Presbyterians who objected to English Episcopalian interference in their worship. The name Covenanters comes from the fact they supported the National Covenant of 1630, which pledged...
