All my pics on here were taken with a phone. The phone was expensive, so was hoping for good results, and I haven't been disappointed. But I recently discovered (typical old man with his new tech) a mode by which I can use a magnification for real close ups. Now I'm really impressed...IMG20210828153315.jpg IMG20210823151505.jpg IMG20210818104408.jpg

Another very old homestead located in a northern Idaho National Wilderness:View attachment 16932
I took that picture during my first year after separation from the U.S. Army in August of 1966. The man worked for owned the property in the middle of the restricted National Wilderness. It is 26 miles by horseback from the cabin to the edge of the wilderness. No motorized vehicles by private citizens were allowed in the wilderness itself. Eventually he had a small airfield built on his private land within to avoid using the Park Service field a couple miles away or riding the 26 miles. Before my visit the U.S. government had offered him $250,000.00 for his property but he refused to sale. At the time there were still several privately homesteaded properties like his within the the wilderness. They wanted to eliminate them all keeping it as an unspoiled sanctuary. I don't know if they ever succeeded.

The previous picture is me in front of the new cabin the owner built. This is a picture of the cabin from across the creek that runs in front of the cabin:Idahom cabinfrom across creek.jpg

I went to his cabin in Idaho several times, the first one being when I got home from Viet Nam in 1965. I had forgotten about that trip. He made arrangements for me to fly commercial to Boise. From there a small charter flight took me to a Forest Ranger station within the wilderness a couple miles from the homestead. They were waiting for me there with horses to rider to the cabin. That ride nearly scared me to death. Fortunately, the horse was trustworthy as I had not ridden previously...

So...to me a photo and a picture is the same thing. I just realized that there may be a difference.
If this is supposed to be a thread of pictures that the poster has taken, oops!
I've posted a few pictures of places I've been, but since my first wife got all of my own pictures, I've taken pics off of the web.
If I've inadvertently misrepresented myself, I apologize.

You are doing fine. The word, photo, is just a shortened version of the word, photograph. There may be a slight difference between 'photograph' and 'picture' but like me, I suspect that most people are not concerned about such a difference.
