Ceci vous représente un grand combat qu’on peut croire commandé par le Général Croque Betterave! qui n’entrera pas au Musée historique de Versailles, et qui doit servir de pendant à la Bataille de Cannes.
[This is a representation of a great battle commanded by General Sugar cracker (beetroot). It will probably not make its way into history (will not enter the Historical Museum of Versailles) but one can already see a certain similarity to the battle of Cannes.]
from the series Actualités, number 4, published in Le Charivari

34. Sitka spruce, Klootchy Creek Park, Clatsop County, Oregon. This 750-year-old tree, which is 206 feet tall and 56 feet in circumference, is the largest tree now standing in Oregon, though it is characteristic of many that used to stand in the original forest. In its presence we find stillness. And perhaps some anxiety: the attack on the tree that Julia Butterfly Hill risked her life to save is representative of a pathology now quite common in the Northwest.
