my inspiration not so lofty...
"According to Books in Print, more books are now published with a title
that begins with '101' than '100'. They usually describe or discuss a
list of items, such as 101 Ways to... or 101 Questions and Answers
About... . This marketing tool is used to imply that the customer is
given a little extra information beyond books that include only 100
items. Some books have taken this marketing scheme even further with
titles that begin with '102', '103', or '1001'. The number is used in
this context as a slang term when referring to "a 101 document" what is
usually referred to as a statistical survey or overview of some topic."
The trip was in Sept 1983. The journal had an alternate title,
"Birds eat Butter" because a cheeky Canada Jay boldly lit on our picknic
table , picked up almost an entire stick of butter by its paper wrapping
and tried to take off with it. Richard grabbed a nice little funny shot
of the scene - my yelling 'no' at the perp, etc.

Mt Shasta really dominates the horizon from so many vantage points in that general area

"101 views of Mt Shasta"
I love that style of Japanese title and have had it in mind for far too long to
produce a series of photos along those lines.
I bought a reprint of a lovely old classic French book last year: 36 Views of
the Eiffel Tower, by Henri Riviere. You can see the pictures here:

The book's still available on Amazon - one for aficionados.
