The treeless granite dome has a sheer west face, 300 feet high, that becomes less steep on the other three sides.  It is a popular destination for hiking which brings many people also to Dog Lake...This is a digital combination of an infrared image and a visible color image.  The color picture is used to colorize the infrared image giving a foreign and new perspective.  Plants and trees reflect more infrared light and appear brighter in images while the sky reflects less making it darker.

  • High in the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains near North Lake in Inyo County California is a hiking trail that leads to Grass Lake  (pictured) and then on a steep climb up to Lower and Upper Lamarck Lakes above the tree line. It is a good hike that leads to amazing views and an area that is very peaceful and beautiful.  Grass Lake is very tranquil and the pure water creates allows for good reflections of nearby mountain peaks.  The lake is fed by water from Lower Lamarck Lake that makes a rapid decent into the valley.  Mount Lamarch is in the distance and rises to an altitude of 13,356 feet.

  • Crown Fountain was designed by Spanish, Catalan artist Jaume Plensa and opened in July 2004. The fountain consists of two 50-foot glass block towers at each end of a black granite shallow reflecting pool. The towers project video images from a broad social spectrum of Chicago citizens having water periodically flow through a water outlet in the screen to give the illusion of water spouting from their mouths. This is a reference to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains, where faces of mythological beings were sculpted with open mouths to allow water, a symbol of life, to flow out. The collection of faces, Plensa's tribute to Chicagoans, was taken from a cross-section of 1,000 residents...The fountain, which is at the southwest corner of Millennium Park at Michigan Avenue and Monroe Streets, is a favorite of both children and families. Its use of water is unique among Chicago's many fountains, in that it promotes physical interaction between the public and the water. Both the fountain and Millennium Park are highly accessible because of their universal design. The fountain is a public play area and offers people an escape from summer heat and allows children to frolic in the fountain's water.

  • Yosemite National Park's most well-know feature is Half Dome, which stands at an altitude of 8,836 feet and 4,737 feet above the valley floor. As the rock was exposed, weathering and exfoliation of shell-like outer layers of the rock shaped the dome portion of the rock to its current shape. The summit is attainable as a day hike in the summer, if you have the stamina to undertake a 17-mile roundtrip hike with 5000 feet of elevation gain from the valley floor...This is an infrared image which captures light that we cannot see and turns it into a visible image. Plants like flowers and grass reflect more infrared light and appear brighter in infrared images while the sky reflects less making it darker.

  • Funds for the construction of the Carnegie Library building were provided by a grant of $10,000 from steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, who funded the establishment of some 3,000 libraries worldwide. The Museum building was designed by W.H. Weeks, an architect from Watsonville , California , and was built by the construction firm of Stephens and Maino of San Luis Obispo. The structure's sandstone was brought from Los Berros, near Arroyo Grande. The granite in the building was quarried from nearby Bishop's Peak and brought into the city on a spur of the narrow gauge Pacific Coast Railway. The Museum is the only building in San Luis Obispo County built with both of these local stones...When a search for a permanent home for the Museum was undertaken in 1953, the newly formed San Luis Obispo County Historical Society received assistance from the San Luis Obispo City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. An agreement was struck regarding the old library building, and in 1956, the San Luis Obispo County Historical Museum was opened to the public. .Information from: https://slochsorg.secure.myhosting.net..This is an infrared image which captures light that we cannot see and turns it into a visible image.

  • Crown Fountain was designed by Spanish, Catalan artist Jaume Plensa and opened in July 2004. The fountain consists of two 50-foot glass block towers at each end of a black granite shallow reflecting pool. The towers project video images from a broad social spectrum of Chicago citizens having water periodically flow through a water outlet in the screen to give the illusion of water spouting from their mouths. This is a reference to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains, where faces of mythological beings were sculpted with open mouths to allow water, a symbol of life, to flow out. The collection of faces, Plensa's tribute to Chicagoans, was taken from a cross-section of 1,000 residents...The fountain, which is at the southwest corner of Millennium Park at Michigan Avenue and Monroe Streets, is a favorite of both children and families. Its use of water is unique among Chicago's many fountains, in that it promotes physical interaction between the public and the water. Both the fountain and Millennium Park are highly accessible because of their universal design. The fountain is a public play area and offers people an escape from summer heat and allows children to frolic in the fountain's water.
