Twenty-Five Dollars and a Signature
The mark is called a freeze brand. Liquid nitrogen chills an iron until the cold kills the color in the hair, and the government writes a registration code in white along the left side of the neck of every wild horse it removes from the range. The brand exists so that a mustang can be identified as a protected animal of the United States for the rest of its life, at any distance, in any light. In August of 2026, the place where you can read those white characters most clearly is the dirt lot of a livestock auction yard, on horses standing quietly beside the trucks that run south.

H/T @Ordnance Survey
“Britain's map has changed a lot over the years - and so has the way it's made.
Meet Brian and Will, OS Surveyors from different generations, sharing how surveying has evolved and what it means to help map Great Britain. Here's part one of their story.
From long days in the field with paper maps and handwritten notes to modern GPS and digital technology, surveying has come a long way. But one thing hasn't changed: the people behind the map…”
--
“Will's grandfather Brian helped map Britain. Today, Will does the same job with very different technology.
Together, they reflect on their careers as Ordnance Survey surveyors, sharing stories from different eras of surveying.
From paper field books to GPS and digital mapping, discover how surveying has evolved, how maps are made, and the technology behind the data millions rely on every day.
Whether you're interested in mapping, surveying, geography, cartography, or the history of Ordnance Survey, this is a fascinating insight into the people and processes that help put Britain on the map…”

@officialjtron The work of Chronolog is really interesting for sure. Photo monitoring sites can be found around the world - Denmark, Australia, Africa, etc. Closer to home, one can see Chronolog images from California MPAs (Bodega Head) or the King Range National Conservation Area. These two images, one from California, one from Arizona, show a bit of the site diversity. Image credit Chronolog.

The canyons of the Southwest are so vast that a single picture can barely contain them So instead, I took 50 images and smushed them all into one big one #panorama #nature #southwest #photography #desert #canyons #publiclands #protectpubliclands #publiclandsinpublichands

Even as wildfire smoke fills the basins and narrows our horizon, the vastness and sheer expanse of the intricate canyon systems below were simply staggering #canyons #utah #publiclands #photography #landscape #nature #protectpubliclands

I made a second visit to the Superstition Wilderness in March of 2019, featured for this #ThrowbackThrusday. I was out to make a loop past Hackberry Spring with a thought to heading up the mountain by the same name. I ended up visiting both, but altered my route from planned a little.

Took a little hike today down Slickhorn Canyon, a place I've wanted to go for many, many years. Hiked down what known as the first canyon, went back up the second canyon and then cut cross country due North to get back to the truck.
Hiked up to Perfect Kiva, an Ancestral Puebloan ruin that had been occupied for over 1000 years, but abandoned 800 years ago.
The kiva is in perfect shape, hence the name. The original ladder was taken to a museum in the '80s and replaced with the replica you see in the photos. In general, you don't want to enter these places because they are fragile, but this is one of the well known, oft-visited ones where it's OK to do so. Just don't touch the fragile plaster on the walls.
The second photo is the top of the kiva looking out toward SlickHorn Canyon. Note the two poles of the ladder protruding from the access hole.
