Dune

I thought that this day of fishing would be like every other; I get lots of practice casting but I catch nothing. This day turned out to be a whole lot different however. The lake we were fishing at in Bruneau Sand Dunes, Idaho has bluegill, catfish, and large mouth bass. I got taken out on a small kayak with my brother and an experienced fisherman named Kevin Schroeder, I had never caught any kind of fish before, and he devoted much of his time to help me land my first one. Throughout the…

no food and the crops do not grow as well as barely any water. Just a few meters out of the village centre I pass many groups of villages who I all know, preying to the Gods. They prey to them for food, water and survival. I start to cross the sand dunes, passing other traders like myself. The hot sand burns the bottom of my feet but I pursue on. Finally, I have reached the other village! They all look the same to me, very dry and dirty. I am greeted with a warm welcome sign and glass of what…

In an advancing twenty first century, technology is playing a part in every sector of people’s lives. There are always positive and negative affects to everything, and new technologies are a prime example of this. People have always been interested in what the World’s oceans can provide, and people are using new technology to investigate these possibilities. However, technology can have a negative affect on different biodiversity in the ocean. Focusing specifically on the Atlantic Ocean,…

"Salt in the air, sand on your feet, the soft crash of waves just beyond the dunes – Washington's Long Beach Peninsula engages every sense and will awaken your slumbering spirit of adventure. The peninsula is home to a string of throwback beach towns where time ticks a little more slowly. Museums highlight the region's historical heritage and illuminate the Peninsula's past.

The coming of war, declared on 4 August 1914, caught most Australians by surprise even though there had been a climate for war for many years. An expectation had arisen of a clash between Europe’s two major trading nations, Britain and Germany. Australia was in the middle of an election campaign when war came. Both leaders, Joseph Cook, Prime Minister, and Andrew Fisher, leader of the Labor Party, promised Australian support to Britain. Labor won the Federal Election and became an enthusiastic…

It consists of canyons, mountains, sand dunes, and peaks. There are famous geological points to explore from Telescope Peak to the Ubehebe Crater. “These are just some of the things that faults created, like Ubehebe Crater which was a volcanic crater which is 600 ft. deep.” (Death Valley) “From…

earnest I seek the position of Communications and Programs Coordinator at San Francisco Heritage. A question a preservationist or historian might ask is what will be remembered once we are gone? From the indigenous nations that fished off the sand dunes to the booming economies during the Gold Rush and World War II, many agents have moved in and out of the city by the bay--ranchero’s who tamed the land for Mexico, Anglo American's in search of gold, blacks escaping the Jim Crow south in search…

Sanibel Island, Florida, has over 47 tropical storms hammering across their coast each year. It all starts with the dark clouds rising rapidly over the horizon of the ocean and ends with shattered windows and fallen trees. We all knew we could not escape a tropical storm coming our way, so instead we buckled down to wait it out. The sights, the feelings, and the sounds of the storm are just beginning. As you walked along the beach, you could feel the heaviness in the air as it pushed down on…

One of my very favorite places to go in my free time is the beach. A beach is a national geographic nature made landform that is near a body of water. It usually consists of loose particles, which are frequently made out of sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles living at a beach are occasionally biological to the origins, such as mollusk shells or coralline algae. Beaches typically appear around areas along the coast where there is a wave or current activity (Wikipedia,…
