 generations, including settlers from Scandinavia, northern Germany and Normandy, treated the hard-won land with respect and preserved its natural beauty, like a well-tended garden.
Land and property here is now among the highest-priced of residential areas outside London and the business areas of the big cities.
Sorry for the history lesson but I love this county.
In contrast, your pictures show the huge scope of the north-west US. Vast areas of natural wild beauty which look as if man has never made the attempt, nor had the need, to tame them.
Changing the subject, some time ago you posted a picture of rows of huge diesel locomotives stored in a yard because fall in traffic had made them redundant.
Were they ever put back into service or did they, sadly, gather rust until they were hauled off to the breaker's yards?
I wish we had a Few English type rivers around. So peaceful.
The building in the picture of the falls is part of a hydro electric facility. There are at least eight hydroelectric dams on the Snake. They are part of an ongoing controversy as the ones on the lower portion of the river block migrating salmon from returning to spawn, Some are captured below the dams and trucked around them. There are those who want the dams removed so the fish can migrate freely. But the majority of the people who actually live in the region depend on the power generated by the dams. Trying to remove the dams also could cause silting that would be bad for the ecosystem, too. It's just too bad things weren't better thought out before the majors days were built back in the 1950s and '60s. Seem like that's the way things always go...hindsight is always much better than foresight.
Speaking of houses. Particularly in the Western U.S., at least 80 percent of the land is owned by the federal government and can't be used for private purposes. Almost all the land you see in these photos (except Idaho Falls) is federal property. The most avid supporters of the federal land are folks who live in the Eastern U.S. where most land is privately owned. Many people in the West resent people who don't live here controlling what can be done with the land.
I know it costs, but can they not put fish runs in alongside the main course/dams to let the fish get up naturally?
Your fellings about the land remind me of someone near to us who was a nurseryman (if you use that term for someone who grows flowers and plant) and wanted to sell the land for building. Several of the local got a petition up to preserve their nice field and greenhouses rather than having houses there. As Trevor said "....and these are the b*ggers who have made their money in land and property elsewhere."
Several of the dams are simply too high for "fish ladders" and even at the lower dams that have them the fish don't seem to want to cooperate.
Well in that case you need better educated salmon! It's a great shame if some way round the problem can't be found.
Just to add on: I'm surprised no one has commented on the Medway's rather poor attempt at a Mississippi steam boat.<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: macro for https://webix.com/kanban/
username_0: - method to integrate this kanban tool
- get javascript libraries from a central webserver
- need macro to flexible use
- need some examples

why is this important?
- planning to do our stories on gogs & we need a visualization tool for it
<issue_comment>username_1: @username_2 @username_0 is this still part of this milestone?
<issue_comment>username_2: Up to @username_0. We need it for our process repos on GOGS.

IMPHAL, July 29 - Union Railways Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu will arrive here on Saturday along with Minister of State for Railways Rajen Gohain to launch the commencement of work on the country�s longest railway tunnel. He will also lay the foundation stone of a new rail station building at Malom near here tomorrow.
The Manipur project, estimated to cost Rs 5,996 crores, is targeted to be completed by 2018 while the 84 km Jiribam-Tupul section is projected for completion in 2016.
�The construction works of the tunnel is expected to start from six locations and it may take around three years time,� said a Railway official.
Currently, the 11.25 km long Pir Panjal Railway tunnel passing through the Pir Panjal Range of middle Himalayas in Jammu and Kashmir which is a part of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link project, is India�s longest railway tunnel.
Interestingly, out of 148 bridges including four tall, five major and 139 minor bridges, the proposed railway bridge (number 164) near the proposed Noney station (Tamenglong district) would be the tallest girder rail bridge in the world with a height of 141 metres.This study in full was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Division of Intramural Research.

high five brighteyes!!
yes, I would absolutely love to live rurally and have a small(ish) farm. Maybe 5 acres where I could build my own cob house and have an artist's studio with my looms and a kiln. I would have sheep, cashmere goats, alpacas because I love, love, LOVE to knit and weave. I'd have chickens and dogs and kitties and rabbits and a pony. Yes a pony! A Shetland pony. And a gorgeous, brown-eyed Jersey cow named Maisey. I would also keep bees to help with their dwindling populations and also to make some yummy mead out of their honey. I'd tap the maple trees for syrup. I'd pick wildflowers. I'd hang my clothes to dry outside in the fresh air. I would love it........ but I haven't really given it too much thought....!
oh it's a great idea! This is going to be my next craft project. Thanks.
I also make these heating pads as gifts. And at the other end of the temperature spectrum.... sometimes I need to chill out. I make chill tubes to wrap around my neck and around my wrists in the summer to cool me down.Sew a tube out of some fabric (shorter for wrist, longer for neck). Add a few tablespoons of polymer beads (used in gardening to keep soil moist longer). Sew the ends closed. Soak in water till saturated. Wrap and be cool.I know these are vague instructions, but if you type "cooling neck bands" into your browser you'll get lots of hits.
Hi Lisa - how about more of a kennel (with room to scamper around) than a crate?I got the 4' x 2.5' Ingo dining table from Ikea screwed picket fence posts around it and made a picket gate with a latch. Painted it all white and glued a sign with my dog's name on it over the entrance.... might as well commit all the way.It's rather folksy looking but it fits with my decor. My little dog loves having her own private fort and hangs out in there even when I'm home and the gate is open.You could paint or stain or decoupage (great idea paula!) or stencil or mosaic or whatever your imagination fancies to help
