The Scout Statue in Kansas City, Missouri

The Scout Statue, Kansas City

The Scout Statue, Kansas City, Missouri Poster

by catherinesherman

The Scout, a famous Kansas City statue, stands overlooking Downtown Kansas City, Missouri from its location in Penn Valley Park. The statue, more than 10 feet tall, depicts a Sioux Indian on horseback surveying the landscape. The statue was exhibited at the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where it won a gold medal. On its way back east, the statue was installed on a temporary basis in Penn Valley Park. The statue proved so popular that $15,000 in nickels and dimes was raised to purchase it through a campaign called “The Kids of Kansas City.” The statue was dedicated in 1922 as a permanent memorial to local Indian tribes. In the center is the iconic Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown. Behind the Kauffman Center are the pylons of Bartle Hall.

Dauphin Island, Alabama

These tall, colorful houses are nicknamed “Birdhouses” on Dauphin Island, Alabama. They “welcome” visitors as they drive onto the island.

Catherine Sherman’s Dauphin Island Birdhouses on Fine Art America. 

These six brightly colored tall houses, which some have nicknamed birdhouses, greet visitors to Dauphin Island, Alabama, a popular barrier island resort. The houses adjoin docks on Bayou Aloe in the Gulf of Mexico.

Dauphin Island, on the Gulf of Mexico, is known for its white sand beaches. The island sits at the entrance to Mobile Bay, where the prominently positioned 19th-century Fort Gaines features original cannons and a look at the living quarters and working areas of this historic fortification. The Audubon Bird Sanctuary on the island is a refuge to wildlife year-round, including alligators and turtles in the lakes, and is an important stop for migrating birds. The Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s Estuarium offers aquariums and a living marsh boardwalk. Ferry services takes travelers across the mouth of Mobile Bay from a port on the east end of Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan on the east side of the bay.

Pelican Point on the east end of the island provides an excellent view of the Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Pass and is a great location to view sunsets and sunrises. Dolphins can be seen in the water off the beach, as well as many seabirds, including pelicans, terns, cormorants and gulls.

These photographs can be featured on dozens of products and are among more than thirty Dauphin Island, Alabama, images that I have posted on Fine Art America. Among the products are wall art (metal, canvas, framed, posters, acrylic, wood), clothing (shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, baby onesies), jigsaw puzzles, greeting cards, shower curtains, towels, bags of several sizes, phone cases, blankets, yoga mats, mugs, pillows, note books, duvet covers, battery chargers, tapestries and more.

Silver Cascade in Autumn, New Hampshire

The Silver Cascade tumbles and falls about 300 feet along Route U.S. 302 in Hart’s Location, New Hampshire, in the White Mountains..

Silver Cascade drains down the southwestern side of Mount Jackson, which is one of New Hampshire’s 48 4,000-footer mountains. The falls continue under US-302, eventually converging with the Saco River below the highway.

Because it’s right next to the highway, Silver Cascade is one of the most popular waterfalls in New England. It is especially beautiful when adorned with Autumn foliage.

Sapphire Pool, Yellowstone National Park

Sapphire Pool is a beautiful blue jewel in Biscuit Basin in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Biscuit Basin is named for the unusual biscuit-like deposits that used to surround Sapphire Pool. Following the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake, Sapphire Pool erupted, and the “biscuits” were blown away. Sapphire Pool last erupted in 1991. Sapphire remains one of the most beautiful blue pools in the thermally active park.

Lighthouse Posters and Postcards

 

“I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse.
They were built only to serve.” ~ George Bernard Shaw.
Throughout the world, lighthouses are a beacon of safety in storms and in darkness.
Nubble Light, Cape Neddick, Maine

by catherinesherman

The Cape Neddick Lighthouse stands on Nubble Island about 100 yards (91 m) off Cape Neddick Point in Cape Neddick, York, Maine. It is commonly known as “Nubble Light” or simply “the Nubble.” In 1874 Congress appropriated $15,000 to build a light station at the “Nubble” and in 1879 construction began. Cape Neddick Light Station was dedicated by the U.S. Lighthouse Service and put into use in 1879. It is still in use today. This iconic lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Sanibel Island Lighthouse, Florida

Sanibel Island Lighthouse, Florida Poster on Zazzle

by catherinesherman

The Sanibel Island Light or Point Ybel Light was one of the first lighthouses on Florida’s Gulf coast north of Key West and the Dry Tortugas, shown photographed here in February 2019. The light, 98-foot above sea level, on an iron skeleton tower was first lit on August 20, 1884 and has a central spiral staircase beginning about 10 feet above the ground. It is located on the eastern tip of Sanibel Island, and was built to mark the entrance to San Carlos Bay for ships calling at the port of Punta Rassa, across San Carlos Bay from Sanibel Island.

The lighthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

In 2022, Hurricane Ian severely damaged the station, destroying both keeper’s houses and all of the remaining outbuildings. The tower lost one leg, but was still standing as of September 29, 2022.

Portland Head Light House, Maine, Postcard

Portland Head Light House, Maine, Postcard on Zazzle

by catherinesherman

Portland Head Light is an historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It sits on a dramatic point of rock jutting from the Atlantic Ocean. An American flag on a flag pole flies in the wind. George Washington directed that construction on the light house begin in 1787. It was completed on January 10, 1791. It’s the oldest lighthouse in Maine and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

No longer an active lighthouse, the Key West Lighthouse is still a beacon for tourists visiting this vibrant tropical cultural and literary city at the western end of Florida Keys. Key West is the southernmost point of the continental United States. The Key West Lighthouse was opened in 1848, replacing an 1825 lighthouse that was destroyed in an 1846 hurricane. After the Coast Guard decommissioned the Key West Light in 1969, it was turned over to Monroe County and is now a museum. Visitors can climb the 88 steps to the top and visit the lightkeeper’s house.

The Cape San Blas Light stands in the historic area of Port St. Joe, Florida. Visitors may buy a ticket to climb to the top of the lighthouse. There were four Cape San Blas lighthouses built between 1849 and 1885. The lighthouse was originally located at Cape San Blas in the northwestern part of the state. Due to beach erosion and weather damage over the decades, it was moved in 2014 to its current location in Port St. Joe. The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.

Yellowstone and Glacier National Park Buses

Yellowstone and Glacier National Park Buses

Yellowstone Bus Crosses the Fishing Bridge

Yellowstone Bus Crosses the Fishing Bridge Postcard on Zazzle

by catherinesherman

A fleet of eight vintage White Motor Co. buses ferry visitors on guided wildlife-watching tours, photo safaris, sunset tours, and other sightseeing adventures. The distinctive antique yellow vehicles have retractable canvas roofs and panoramic windows so that tourists can better see and photograph the magnificent scenery and wildlife.
At the height of their popularity within Yellowstone in the mid-1920s, more than 400 of the vehicles operated in the park.

“Yellowstone had the second largest bus fleet in the country in the mid-20s, second only to Greyhound,” according to a Yellowstone National Park concessionaire.

The original fishing bridge was built in 1902, according to the National Park Service website. The bridge was a rough-hewn corduroy log bridge with a slightly different alignment than the current bridge. The existing bridge was built in 1937. “Fishing Bridge was historically a tremendously popular place to fish. Angling from the bridge was quite good, due to the fact that it was a major spawning area for cutthroat trout. However, because of the decline of the cutthroat population (in part, a result of this practice), the bridge was closed to fishing in 1973.”
