Loch Ard Gorge, Port Campbell National Park, VIC, Australia

DSC01166.webp

The gorge is named after the clipper Loch Ard shipwrecked in 1878. Of 54 passengers and crew, only two survived: Thomas Pearce, one of the ship's apprentices, and Eva Carmichael, an Irishwoman emigrating with her family, both of them 19 years old. According to memorials at the site, Pearce was washed ashore, and rescued Carmichael from the water after hearing her cries for help. Pearce then climbed out of the gorge to raise the alarm with local pastoralists who quickly came to Carmichael's rescue. Three months after the disaster, which claimed the lives of seven members of her family, Carmichael returned to Ireland.

I could say the photo was taken before that happened ;) (it was while I was there in 2009) but I actually didn’t know that. Thanks.
 
Swan Lake. There are tens of lakes with this name. The one pictured - in Waldo County, Maine - was originally called Goose Pond.

Temecula Valley

I grew up very near there.

The mountain I grew up on. My mountain. My beautiful, lonely mountain is in the center. It is much taller than it appears in this photo, as this vineyard is on a ridge,

The green of the vineyards and the tract homes is an illusion in the desert, all stolen by the city from our aquifer. We had the mineral rights. And they drained our well to build their city.

But that's inconsequential. I loved my mountain. My beautiful, lonely mountain.

Where coyote pups would wrestle and play in our lower pasture. The only sound for miles was a horse's nicker from across the valley, or a redhawk on the wing.
