Salva López EARTH, WIND & FIRE “The beauty of the Canary Islands always leaves me in awe, especially the lunar landscape of Pico de Teide, a volcano on Tenerife,” says the Spanish photographer. López, who resides in Menorca, has a wide experience in architecture, design, portrait, and landscape photography. Greta Rybus HIGH COLOR Rybus, a Maine-based photojournalist who focuses on stories about nature, captured South Africa’s remarkable wildflower season, which occurs in August and September. “It was a kaleidoscopeof colors and species,” she recalls. Sahar Khan THE HUM OF INDUSTR Khan, who is now living in London, wrote about Butchertown, a once blighted, now buzzing neighborhood in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. She most enjoyed meeting business owner Andy Blieden, whose vision was instrumental: “It’s inspiring to see how one person can change a neighborhood’s fortune.” Tony Perrottet ALL NEW…

DO YOU HAVE a cherished summer spot? A place your family goes year after year? Perhaps you rent the same exact home by the shore, or stay in one specific hotel suite, because you fell in love with it decades ago. I don’t have such a place, yet; the wanderer in me feels that if I committed to one destination, I would somehow miss out on a new scene, or the next great resort. But I do acknowledge that summer, for whatever reason, seems to be a time of ritual and routine. And let’s be honest: with so much of our lives thrown out of whack these past few years, it’s only natural to crave some continuity. This issue is filled with places I’d like to categorize as familiar, with a twist.…

A GLOBETROTTER’S GUIDE TO THE LATEST IN TRAVEL T+L celebrates the artists, chefs, designers, and curators across the country who push us to innovate—and keep us inspired. THE FIRST TIME we visited Wallowa County, we were struck by its geological diversity. Stretching across some 3,000 square miles, Oregon’s northeasternmost corner contains snowcapped mountains, sweeping prairies, pristine waterways, and North America’s deepest river gorge. But on a return trip through the region, we found ourselves equally drawn to its complex history. The Nimi’ipuu people (also known as the Nez Perce) lived on the land for millennia, until gold was discovered in 1861. Miners, ranchers, and farmers—primarily of European origin—moved in, and the United States government ultimately forced the Indigenous group’s relocation to a reservation in Idaho 16 years later. As the years progressed, settlers established…

NORTH DAKOTA is known for wildflowers, Native American and pioneer-settler historical sites, the badlands of Theodore Roosevelt National Park—and, of course, that infamous Coen brothers film, though most of it takes place in Minnesota. But food? Aside from bison and walleye, the state isn’t exactly celebrated for its contributions to American cuisine. In the past few years, though, new restaurants have arrived in the state’s largest city, bringing James Beard Award nominations and other accolades along with them. If you’re shocked, you probably didn’t realize what a land of plenty this is: half of the nation’s durum wheat is grown in North Dakota, and the state produces more beans, rye, honey, and sunflowers than anywhere else in the U.S. Here are a few Fargo spots leading the culinary charge.

WHEN IT COMES to eating and drinking, I could give up almost anything, except red wine and grilled beef. Both of those are practically in my blood. On my mother’s side, my great-grandfather Alex founded a meatpacking operation in Idaho in 1918. On my father’s side, Abuelo Eduardo’s wine company in Colombia also dates back more than a century. I’m pretty sure it was because of this heritage that I wound up living in Santa Barbara, with its storied ranches and vineyards. In recent years I’d noticed that a handful of spots in the Santa Ynez Valley—about 40 miles north of my home—had branched out into hospitality with events and accommodations, which piqued my curiosity about how ranch life in the area has evolved. While Santa Ynez has long attracted celebrities…

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS has played a centuries-long part in New York City history. Named for Fort Washington and its role in the American Revolution, the neighborhood has since seen the arrival of everyone from Irish, Jewish, and Latin-Caribbean immigrants to the Gilded Age elite. But in the great never-ending cycle of trending N.Y.C. neighborhoods, it has yet to have its moment—until now. This spring saw the return of the Hispanic Society Museum & Library, much of which had been closed to the public since 2017. The institution’s Beaux-Arts building houses one of the world’s most significant collections of art and antiquities from Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and the Philippines. “We want to bridge the past, present, and future,” says CEO and director Guillaume Kientz of the renovation. “The initial mission still stands,…
