Having grown up in Richland, when I learned of the Hanford Declassification Project I was greatly interested. And even more interested when a search for the words "Nagasaki" and "Hiroshima" yielded no results in the database. It was curious to me that Nagasaki and Hiroshima had been excised so neatly from the declassified documents for this portion of the Manhattan Project. Thus my interest in taking the photos and using them as base for digital paintings, sometimes adding subcontext.
Description of the declassification project from the govt website:
“The Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office (RL) has aggressively implemented the commitments made by the Federal Government to openness in Government which was stated as a ‘Fundamental principle that an informed citizenry is essential to the democratic process and that the more the American people know about their Government, the better they will be governed. Openness in government is essential to accountability . . .’ RL is committed to responsible openness. The Hanford Declassification Project (HDP) was initiated by RL to declassify to the maximum possible extent all previously classified Hanford operations information (documents and photographs). There are over 77,000 declassified photographs of early Hanford (1943 - 1960) available… \These World War II and Cold War era photographs depict early Hanford construction and the employees/families who lived and build/operated the site.”
The plutonium for the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was manufactured at Hanford, which is now a toxic wasteland. The nearby town of Richland was hurridly constructed during WWII for the express purpose of the secret manufacture of plutonium.

Gladney Rose Garden terrace
Missouri Botanical Garden
St Louis, Missouri, USA
In 2006, the Garden presented “Glass in the Garden” an exhibition of blown glass sculptures by renowned artist Dale Chihuly. The spectacular 928-piece Missouri Botanical Garden Blue Chandelier, 2006 is permanently suspended in the Ridgway Visitor Center atrium. Chihuly’s Walla Wallas were purchased for the Garden, where the onion-shaped glass floats in the central axis reflecting pool during warm weather months. Several graceful, amber-coloured Sunset Herons were also purchased and are displayed inside the Climatron.
Sitting beside the trail, not seeming to notice the crowds going past. this artist was totally into her work.
