At first glance, this is a view of a fairly nondescript prairie in remote Fremont County, Wyoming. But it's quite a significant and historic place. This is South Pass, a natural crossing point of the Rocky Mountains that quickly became the route of choice for emigrants on the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails to the West during the 19th century
This road through Otero County, Colorado, follows the original Mountain Route of the Santa Fe Trail, all right, as attested to by the modern sign. But it's nothing like the rutted dirt road of the mid-1800s when travelers on that important trade route from Missouri to Mexican Territory in what is now New Mexico passed here

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
