This is a Fire Tower. It is an easy one because it has steps....versus fire towers with ladders! Years ago people were employed by the Forest Service...they would watch for smoke and fires and then report it.
Thanks for stopping by.

The second rows is probably written in german (not my language). Photos seems to be from Bolivia where Cochabamba is a City/Department and Arani is a Province.

This is an old snapshot from the antique shop in Royalton Minnesota.
I believe this is a photo at The Arc de Triomphe : Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in France.
