  • The Mount Tabor Park Calendar is an 8-year personal project of photographer Andrew Haliburton celebrating Portland’s beloved park and former reservoirs. The park covers 190 acres, offering many recreational amenities including paved and unpaved trails, play areas, basketball court, tennis courts and picnic areas. For over 100 years, the reservoirs functioned at the heart of Portland’s drinking water supply, balancing the flow of drinking water from Bull Run. The Portland Water Bureau disconnected the reservoirs and removed them from the City's water distribution network in 2016.

  • Snow covers the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho (left) and KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, as far as the eye can see, in this aerial view northward along the Drakensberg escarpment.  Photo taken at an altitude of about 3,400m (11,200 feet) from a Search and Rescue helicopter crossing the Nkosazana Ridge during the Drakensberg Snow Rescues July 7 to 11, 1996. This flight was part of an extensive 3-day search and rescue operation, coordinated jointly by SANDF 15 Squadron and the Mountain Club of South Africa (MCSA).   The operation was initiated after receiving multiple missing person reports in the wake of the record snowfalls of July 1996.  Ten helicopters were utilized in the operation: 4 Oryx, 4 BK117 and 2 Alouettes.  In total, the search tally grew to 123 known to be unaccounted for – mostly overnight backpackers.  All 123 were subsequently found, 66 were airlifted to safety, and the remainder, well prepared and in good health, chose to decline assistance.  MCSA Mountain Search and Rescue team: Andrew Haliburton, Graham Smith, Steve Cooke, Greig Stewart, Carl Fatti, Egmont Geodeke, Gavin Raubenheimer, Jeremy Farquhason, Mike Maxfield, Sean Bartleet, Ian Bailey, Dr Ian Forsyth, George Morphis, Tod Collins.  Lt-Col Eric Elphick headed up the team from 15 Squadron, comprising pilots, engineers and aircraft support.  Nikon F90, Nikon AF Nikkor 28-70/3.5-4.5D.  Fujichrome Velvia RVP 50.

  • Bust of York, Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon, USA. On 20 February 2021, a sculpture entitled “Bust of York”, by an unidentified artist, appeared on the pedestal of the former statue of Harvey Scott. The statue of Harvey W Scott was found toppled to the ground on the morning of 20 October 2020 following a series of statue removals during racial justice protests in Portland. Inscription reads: “York – The first African American to cross North America and reach the Pacific Coast.  Born into slavery in the 1770s to the family of William Clark, York became a member of the 1804 Lewis and Clark Expedition. Tough York was an enslaved laborer, he performed all the duties of a full member of the expedition. He was a skilled hunter, negotiated trade with Native American communities, and tended to the sick. Upon his return east with the Corps of Discovery, York asked for his freedom. Clark refused his request.  The date and circumstances of his death are unclear."

  • In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of the Massachusetts-based landscape design firm Olmsted Brothers recommended that a city park be developed at Mount Tabor.  Portland Parks Superintendent Emanuel T. Mische, who had worked at Olmsted Brothers, consulted with Olmsted on the park layout and integration of the reservoirs into the park design. This is one of three open reservoirs at Mt Tabor Park and of five total in Portland.  The 3 open reservoirs in Mount Tabor Park were placed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 2004.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation: Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, referred to as the LT2 rule imposes new requirements that open water reservoirs be covered, buried or additionally treated.  This applies to Portland's five open reservoirs and to the unfiltered Bull Run sourse supplying them. Portland, Oregon, USA.

  • Life in Huaráz, below the distant Huandoy summits and the west face of Huascarán Norte (North) 6,664m.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.
