Life is adventure, whether going across oceans or across town, and the
spirit is quickened with the discovery of new vistas, new people, and new things to learn
about.
Nubble
Lighthouse, Ogunquit, Maine
The lighthouse sits perched on an island of rock just a few hundred yards from
Ogunquit's shore. To resupply, the keeper must launch a boat and row or motor to the
mainland. Stark white, with dark green trim, the lighthouse evokes an austere and
proper image of New England.

Market Lady
Cleveland's West Side Market is filled with produce stands such as this one.
Fresh fruits and vegetables both common and exotic line the central aisle. Vendors
call out their wares and shout, "Who's Next?" Shoppers of every
nationality and age crowd the walk. The market has something for everyone.

The
Survivor
This lone tree, twisted and shaped by the storms of central New Hampshire, has managed
to hold its own on a narrow spit of land reaching out into Lake Sunapee. Mount
Sunapee with ski slopes gouging its flanks, stands guard in the distance.

The Tetons
Rising abruptly from the valley floor, the Tetons tower thousands of feet into the air
in a majestic display of beauty. Seen here from a forest fire access road near
Jackson, Wyoming, you can almost smell the clean air and hear the jays squawking as you
gaze northward toward Yellowstone.

Cuyahoga Tugs
The Cuyahoga is one of America's shortest rivers, but it serves as a highway for
hundreds of freighters and ore boats each year. Sturdy tugs help mammoth ships
negotiate the narrow, twisting course from entrance to the huge steel mills upriver.
The river is spanned by a variety of large bridges which can turn or lift out of
the way of approaching ships.
