Mt. Whitney’s Actual Elevation – 14,505 feet.

Originally when I created my Mt. Whitney images, I did a Google search for the elevation.  The source I found had it listed at 14,497 or 4418 meters.  Apparently it was incorrect. That might have been the original assessment when it was measured in the 1800s.

Crater Lake National Park

2_crater_lakes

If you love America’s National Parks, then Crater Lake National should be on your must see list.  It’s an awe inspiring place with a fascinating geological history.  One can easily drive the 33-mile (53 km) rim in a day and there are several vantage points to view the lake.  One day I plan to cycle around the rim.  Some of those grades look brutal, so I’d better start training for it now!

Steve Forney’s Think Green

think green

The idea for this image just came from out of nowhere.  A lightbulb went off in my head.  A compact fluorescent light bulb, to be exact.  That seemed like a clever twist to put on the visual metaphor for an idea.  I always been a fan of Jean Carlu’s posters and have studied them in detail.  Perhaps they are absorbed in my mind and now one is manifesting itself as a poster.  Think Green!  Created in Abode Illustrator.

Recently while browsing through a local used bookstore, I found a poster book that caught my attention.  After flipping through it, I just had to add it to my reference library.  Posters of the Canadian Pacific, by Marc H. Choko and David L. Jones, is a time capsule of graphics from one of the world’s great railways.  The company also operated a cruise line, luxury hotels and an airline.  The Canadian Pacific produced more than 2,500 images to promote the company and entice visitors to Canada.

If you are a fan of vintage travel posters and graphic design, then Posters of the Canadian Pacific is a must have for your library.  You’ll be so inspired that, before you know it, you’ll be booking your next vacation to Canada.
