No one can take their eyes from this beautiful land

WYOMING

Wyoming is a western U.S. state defined by vast plains and the Rocky Mountains. Its famed Yellowstone National Park, a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area, is home to hundreds ofanimal species, dramatic canyons and alpine rivers. The park's gushing geysers include the iconic Old Faithful. To the south is Grand Teton National Park, known for backcountry skiing areas, forested trails and Snake River.

The Jackson Hole valley, close to both national parks, is an attraction in its own right, with challenging ski runs, upscale resorts and dude ranches. Cody, a former frontier town known for its summer rodeos, is reachable from Yellowstone via the famed Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway. State capital Cheyenne hosts its own rodeos, including massive outdoor events during the popular annual Frontier Days festival. In the Black Hills National Forest to the north is the iconic Devils Tower, a 1,267-ft. stone monolith.

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent?

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent? Email The most common answer to the question, “Why was Africa called the Dark Continent?” is that Europe did not know much about Africa until the 19 th century, but that answer is misleading.

OPINION | Dear Congress, Either Join The Tea Party, Or Lose T-Shirt In Gujarat The BJP understands, as the Congress does not, that tea symbolizes all the fuzzy warmth of Indian culture. It is a great leveller — from the richest to the poorest, everyone drinks tea. Mahatma Gandhi famously took his tea with a pinch of salt. It was 1931, the Salt Satyagraha was a year old and his tea-serving host was the British Viceroy, Lord Irwin. Had the Indian National Congress recalled that little soupcon of history, it would not have put out a meme of a British Prime Minister ordering another Gujarati (PM Narendra Modi) to ‘go sell tea’. The Mahatma was no great votary of tea, but was a master of symbolism. Gently rubbing salt into the Imperial wound, he twinkled, “To remind us of the famous Boston Tea Party”. An exquisite reference to the genesis of American Independence, with the implicit promise of freedom for India. If only today’s Congress understood the power of symbols a tenth as well.
