In geological terms, Heart Mountain’s flat-topped shape is caused by a thrust fault, the pushing up of younger rocks above older ones, and subsequent erosion. These distinctive formations are called klippes. In human terms, it was in the shadow of this mountain outside of Cody, Wyoming, that over 10,000 Japanese-Americans were held in an encampment after the World War II bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. Today the site is a National Historic Landmark comprised of an outdoor interpretive center and a museum, which together provide visitors with an intimate view of what daily life was like in the camp.
Looks like an impressionist painting.
It does, Cindy! That reminds me of an idea I have of making something really look impressionistic. We recently went to Monet’s house in France and I took pictures of his garden with the iconic footbridge. I was thinking I would try to make those shots an impressionistic group. Maybe I will get to that project sometime soon :-).
