Trains, plains and global connections in Denver

In 2012, after more than two decades living abroad, I returned to the U.S. - specifically to Denver, Colorado - where I help direct coverage of the United States as a Reuters national affairs editor. My husband was born and raised in the “Mile High City,” as Denver (which is perched 5,280 feet above sea level) is known, so I consider myself native-adjacent. I’m a city girl who enjoys the urban pleasures of my high-desert adopted hometown, and who bristles at visitors who see it as a place to pass through on the way to ski or hike in the Rocky Mountains. Here’s my take on how to see the city, the local way: Getting around: Public transit is one of those urban pleasures. I was bemused by a Denver Post headline last year proposing that it might be rude to ask visitors to take t...

Mosul’s renowned minaret restored from ravages of Islamic State

Mosul’s Grand al-Nuri Mosque, known for its eight-century-old leaning minaret, destroyed by Islamic State militants in 2017, has been renovated in a boost for Iraq's second city as it rebuilds after long years of war. From the pulpit of this medieval mosque on July 4, 2014, Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a self-styled ‘caliphate’ spanning parts of Syria and Iraq. Three years later, the ultra hardline group demolished the mosque in the final weeks of a U.S.-backed Iraqi campaign that ousted the jihadists from Mosul, their de facto capital in Iraq.

Hawaii is the rainbow capital of the world. Here’s what that means

February 10, 202599 Views

Hawaii’s regular sunshine, short rain showers and clean air come together to create some of the planet’s best conditions for viewing rainbows. They’re such a frequent sight that a University of Hawaii professor calls the state the “rainbow capital of the world.” Right now it’s the winter rainy season in the islands, which means the odds of seeing a rainbow are even higher than usual. Rainbows emerge so often in Hawaii they’ve become popular symbols of island life. Pictures of them adorn buildings, the sides of public buses and appear on standard vehicle license plates. University of Hawaii sports teams are even named after rainbows. A rainbow appears in the sky on Oct. 28, 2024, in Honolulu.
