Day 518 Daily Create 3500

Daily Create

Today’s Daily Create [ @ds106dc #tdc3500 ] is to celebrate that today is the 3,500th Daily Create!

In searching for images “3500” how serendipitous that an archive at WSU includes a Spokane Chronicle 1935 photograph of the top of Steamboat Rock from a Washington National Guard aerial unit at 3500 feet! View the article here: WSU Archive Clipping Top of Steamboat Rock.

And I have taken many pictures of that rock, which is now surrounded by a reservoir to irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of semi-arid land — a reservoir from the waters of the mighty Columbia River whose water comes glaciers [snowpack]. How is the snowpack holding? As of last year, OK, but is it changing now? Check out the February, 2021 Bonneville Power Administration fact sheet.

Think about that.

@ds106dc #tdc3500 My response for Today's #ds106 Daily Create is to celebrate and while searching “3500,” serendipity found me at 3500 feet above Steamboat Rock in 1935. Here’s a recent pic and link to the news photo from WSU archive, Spokane Chronicle https://t.co/x4rPBaEM1B pic.twitter.com/ciasjFHpC0
