Windlass Hill Pioneer Historical Marker at Ash Hollow State Park in Nebraska

I always love driving north of Ogallala, Nebraska through the edge of the Sandhills - gorgeous rolling hills with nothing for miles. When we drive through the canyon by Ash Hollow State Park there is an awesome little reconstructed sod house at the Windlass Hill Pioneer historical marker. 
I often stop and take pictures as we drive through. Last night the sun was setting behind the sod house and and I just had to stop for a couple of pictures. Photos never do sunsets justice but this one I took using the dramatic filter on my camera and it came as close as I could get it with the naked eye. Sometimes nature is just too awesome to comprehend.

Augmented Reality App Brings History Alive at Kansas City's Union Station

I can't wait to try this out - augmented reality brings Kansas City's Union Station to live.  Beginning today (October 31, 2014) visitors to Union Station can make history come live with their smart phone using augmented reality.

 Here is an article which describes the project but I also suggest watching the video below to get a grasp of how awesome this will be at Union Station.
