Discovering historical monuments in Tennessee


By looking at the image above, you would probably think that I would be inviting you all to visit the landscapes in Tennessee but the truth is that there are also some historical monuments on the city that will surely surprise you with their age! In fact, you may read the msnbc.com article just below and discover by yourself how incredible the city is:

"

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - In this city of songs and sequins, it's not a honky-tonk. Or a recording studio. Or a Grand Ole Opry guitar.

But the Tennessee State Capitol may be the most historic of all.

The imposing building, sitting majestically in downtown Nashville atop the city's highest hill, is celebrating its 150th birthday.

For sure, this is no ordinary structure.

For starters, the man who designed it is buried in the walls of the north facade. William Strickland of Philadelphia, who died suddenly during construction in 1854, wanted it that way. It was dedicated in 1859.

It was built, not by dedicated construction workers, but by slaves and prisoners.

"It's definitely stood the test of time," Scott County attorney John Beaty said as he toured the inside of the Capitol with his 12-year-old nephew. "It's surely made to last."

There is Civil War history associated with the structure, sounding like something from "Gone With the Wind."

In 1862, the Capitol was placed under heavy guard by Union forces. Then-Gov. Isham G. Harris, in a flash of caution and concern, moved the seat of government 190 miles away to Memphis.

Nonetheless, the Capitol has endured to be 66 years older than the fabled Grand Ole Opry country music show and 87 years older than the city's first recording studio.

"It is truly a state treasure," Beaty said.

It's made mostly of marble, quarried in the Tennessee hills, and is regarded as a prime example of Greek Revival architecture. It's more than 206 feet tall and covers an area of 112 feet by 239 feet.

It's copied from an Ionic temple, with porticos on the north and south facades, each with eight fluted columns. The east and west porticos have six columns surmounted by parapets.

The Capitol offers a spectacular view of downtown Nashville. Motorists can see it like a beacon from busy Interstate 40/65.

"The vantage point on the hill, overlooking downtown, is a destination for locals and visitors alike and adds to the uniqueness of Nashville," said Butch Spyridon, president of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Free guided tours are available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

But wait! Stories persist that the Capitol is haunted.

Frank Harris, who runs Nashville Ghost Tours, says he's heard shouting and fighting some 30 times during paid tours he's guided outside the Capitol over the last seven years.

"It lasts five or 10 seconds, usually around 9 o'clock," he said. "You can make out a word or two; it sounds like it's 50 or 100 feet away."

Speculation is it's coming from Strickland and Samuel Morgan, who like Strickland is buried inside the Capitol. The two were enemies as the building was being built.

"The stories are, they are not happy about being entombed together," Harris said.

"

As a woman, I know how it feels like...

As a woman who knows how it feels like when we look at the mirror and discover that we should do something about our general physical appearance, I would personally say that it is vital for the happiness of any woman that we really do our best in order to get the nice physical shape that we used to have when we were younger…

Keeping this in mind, Liposuction comes to my mind as the ultimate and most reliable solution for anyone looking for quick and effective results that could really change your life and the way you look at the mirrors! Moreover, if you take some time to visit the website to which I have linked above and read the interesting articles, topics and texts I am more than sure that you will easily find an answer to any question that you may have, making it possible for you to get enough confidence to consider the possibility of taking a liposuction and change your life by doing so!

Hawk mountain: a great place to be discovered


Even if you have never heard of Hawk Mountain before, the truth is that we can't denny that it is obviously one of the most amazing places on the world where tourists are given the chance to see some unbelivable bird species that will surely surprise everyone! Below you may read the original msnbc.com article and discover more about this great spot:

"

KEMPTON, Pa. - Peering through binoculars, Arlene Koch spies something tiny and dark on the horizon. Though it's still a few miles away and difficult to see even with magnification, she can identify the shadowy figure by its shape and the characteristics of its flight.

"That's a broadwing over five," Koch declares from her perch atop Hawk Mountain. "Now we need about 5,000 more to follow!"

Koch is a volunteer hawk counter at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, a 2,400-acre ridgetop preserve in eastern Pennsylvania where generations have come to watch migrating hawks, eagles and falcons. Joining her this mid-September day are dozens of visitors — casual tourists and birding enthusiasts alike — hoping to catch a huge flight of broadwing hawks.

Situated along a major Appalachian flyway for migratory birds known as the Kittatinny Ridge, Hawk Mountain records an average fall migration of 18,000 to 20,000 raptors. It's one of the best, and best-known, spots in the nation to catch these sharp-beaked birds of prey as they head to warmer climes like Florida, Mexico, and Central and South America.

Each morning from Aug. 15 through Dec. 15, volunteers like Koch trek about a mile over rocky terrain to a famed outcropping called North Lookout. There, they identify and count the 16 species of raptor that use the Kittatinny as a kind of aerial Autobahn. Hawk Mountain has recorded the migration since its founding 75 years ago as the world's first refuge for birds of prey, giving scientists the ability to monitor long-term health and population trends.

The tourists, meanwhile, can just sit back and enjoy the show. Which they do, coming by the thousands each fall.

Despite Koch's exhortation, a big broadwing flight would not be in the cards this day. By early evening, the official count stands at 315. (The season's broadwing peak comes two days later, when 1,613 birds soar over North Lookout.)

Even when it's relatively slow, though, there are wonders to behold. Two sharp-shinned hawks ("sharpies" for short) go at each other in prolonged aerial battle. A small, colorful falcon known as a kestrel streaks overhead, seemingly in a great hurry. There are a few ospreys — none clutching fish, alas — and even a bald eagle.

The afternoon's highlight: a "kettle" or flock of 38 broadwings, spiraling ever-higher in a pocket of warm air called a thermal before peeling off, one by one, to coast down the ridge. Koch takes note of each bird, furiously clicking her hand-held counter. Eventually the hawks are overhead, and several dozen necks crane in unison to watch them. They disappear over the treeline.

Two other species that migrate over Hawk Mountain in large numbers — sharp-shinned and red-tailed hawks — are best seen in early October and early November, respectively. Early November also marks the arrival of small numbers of golden eagles. The peak autumn flight of bald eagles is in early September.

The birds first come into view a few miles from North Lookout, appearing as specks on the horizon. Sightings are announced to the rest of the crowd, with landmarks used as reference points. Koch's "broadwing over five," for example, means that she has spotted a bird over a small hump known as No. 5 on the left side of the ridge.

You don't have to be an expert bird-watcher to enjoy Hawk Mountain, though. Volunteers are happy to answer questions. Koch and her counting partner, Rudy Keller, keep up a running commentary throughout the day.

Any visit to the sanctuary should start at the Visitor Center, where you can buy trail passes, look at scale models of raptors, take in exhibits on raptor migration and behavior, see a live bird demonstration (on weekends only), learn about Hawk Mountain founder Rosalie Edge, and browse the gift shop.

From the trailhead just off Hawk Mountain Road, it's a short walk to the first viewing station, South Lookout. This lookout offers a fine panorama of the Kittatinny Ridge to the left and a 1,600-foot promontory called The Pinnacle to the right. On the unspoiled, green-carpeted valley floor, about 700 feet down, is the River of Rocks, a boulder field nearly a mile long and more than 40 feet deep that was formed during the last ice age.

After several more lookouts, the trail gets rockier, serving up a mildly strenuous but pleasant hike through sun-dappled hardwood forest. Foot bridges take you over marshy sections; benches provide a respite for weary legs. When you get to the long stone staircase, you're only a few minutes from North Lookout.

Your efforts are rewarded with a magnificent view — 50 miles on a clear day — of low, green mountains interspersed with patches of farmland. You'll also notice the replica of a great horned owl sitting atop a wooden pole. It's there to lure raptors, especially sharpies that sometimes attack it as they fly past.

The owl is so lifelike that first-time visitors often mistake it for the real thing. There's no such confusion about the hawks.
