Landscape Photography - United States

by Darwin A. Mulligan

I like to travel, especially in the American Southwest – Utah and Arizona are among my favorite places. Hardly any people, summer starts early (way earlier than up here in Alberta, Canada!). Here are some of my images:

Alaska

Alaska is the 49th state and is often referred to as The Last Frontier. Alaska is the largest state of the United States, OVER twice the size of Texas!

Wyoming is known as the “Equality State” because of the rights women have traditionally enjoyed there. Wyoming women were the first in the nation to vote, serve on juries and hold public office. Wyoming is one of only three states (along with Colorado and Utah) to have borders along only straight latitudinal and longitudinal lines, rather than being defined by natural landmarks. Due to surveying inaccuracies during the 19th century, Wyoming's legal border deviates from the true latitude and longitude lines by up to half of a mile (.8 km) in some spots, especially in the mountainous region along the 45th parallel.
