I'm standing in the empty pit that was once the foundation of the Mudcura Sanitarium at Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota. Yes, the building is gone, but the pit is full of wildflowers. It kind of creeps me out to walk in it, though.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to a Minnesota DNR Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

Onze tentoonstellingen willen geen oase zijn. Onze presentatie is onaf, in beweging, ongepolijst, contradictorisch, slordig, complex, onharmonieus, levend en onmonumentaal, zoals de wereld buiten de museummuren.
De Verbeke Foundation is een private kunstsite die geopend werd op 1 juni 2007 door kunstverzamelaars Geert Verbeke en Carla Verbeke-Lens.
Cultuur, natuur en ecologie komen er samen. De ruimte herbergt een indrukwekkende verzameling van moderne en hedendaagse kunst en biedt als kunstenvrijplaats ook kansen aan jonge kunstenaars.
Met zijn 12 hectare natuurgebied en zijn 20.000 m² overdekte ruimten is de Verbeke Foundation één van de grootste privé-initiatieven voor hedendaagse kunst in Europa. De loodsen van het vroegere transportbedrijf van Geert Verbeke werden omgebouwd tot unieke expositieruimtes. Eén van de gebouwen werd ingericht om de uitzonderlijke verzameling collages en assemblages tentoon te stellen. De Verbeke Foundation is in een aanhoudend groeiproces. Kunstenaars kunnen er in residentie verblijven en grotere en kleinere tentoonstellingen wisselen elkaar af, waardoor de foundation er elke dag anders uitziet, zoals een ademend organisme.
Geschiedenis
In het begin van de jaren 1990 begonnen Geert en Carla Verbeke-Lens kunst te verzamelen. Na een initiële interesse voor abstracte schilderkunst werd de collectie geheroriënteerd naar collages en assemblages van hoofdzakelijk Belgische kunstenaars. De afgelopen jaren werd de verzameling verder uitgebreid naar hedendaagse kunst en naar bio-art.
Collages en assemblages
De kern van de privéverzameling bestaat uit een uitzonderlijke collectie van zo’n 6000 collages en assemblages voornamelijk uit de twintigste eeuw. Een aparte ruimte werd ingericht om een deel van deze collectie permanent tentoon te stellen.
Hedendaags kunst
De Verbeke Foundation wenst een plek te zijn waar cultuur, natuur en ecologie samenkomen. Het werk van bio-artiesten en van kunstenaars die met levende materialen werken (planten, dieren, geuren) sluit hier naadloos bij aan. Sinds de opening van de Verbeke Foundation in 2007 kon de verzameling uitgebreid worden met hedendaagse werken en in situ gebouwde installaties.
It occurred to me after I made up the mug rug I just sent away that there could be an easier way to do this. It took me less than an hour to sew up this top. If you're interested, you can find a tutorial on my blog: terriesandelin.blogspot.com/2011/02/sashed-squares-mug-ru...
Cropped this one deliberately close to the top to add to the strangeness of the floating effect of the Ponte Vecchio on the surface of the Arno.
This room is far below the towers of le Chapelle Notre-Dame-sous-Terre, holding all it's weight. The engineering is just phenomenal.

Looking like a mess...
Out with a brush and my paint to create my look❤
I can only apologise if I frighten anyone..☠
This reminds me of Joel's style. His photos are always so magical, and I always leave with a really warm happy feeling after visiting his stream. Go check him out and you'll see what I mean.
"Langen Foundation near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany is a museum designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The foundation showcases a collection of Oriental Art and Modern Art.
The museum was created on grounds which used to be a NATO rocket base. The building has double-skin volume and two half-buried temporary exhibition wings with a total area of 900 m²; the structure mainly consists of reinforced concrete, glass and steel. The museum offers three exhibition spaces totaling an area of 1,300 square meters. Situated within the ground-level concrete slab is the so-called Japan Room – an unusually long and narrow gallery conceptualized by Ando as a space of “tranquillity” especially for the Japanese segment of the Langen Collection. The two subterranean exhibition rooms, with a ceiling height of a surprising eight meters, were in turn designed to accommodate the modern part of the collection. The museum opened to the public in 2004."

This image was taken during a misty autumn explore of the woods near Stourhead.
I continued to explore both sides of the woodland which is separated by a track for woodland management vehicles to access.
During my time at the location I decided to experiment with some ideas such as focusing on the small features of the woodland.
I’ve designed this hand-woven 1.2 x 2 metre tall rug with Foundation Rugs.
This will go on display at the exhibition starting this week with the rest of the rug collection in London at the Dray Walk Gallery, Old Truman Brewery in London.

I have to walk to the other side to catch the view of a pure sunset because from the original standpoint the sunset view was blocked by the contruction of "Villa De Palma". There was wedding photographer and a newly wed (I guess) was posing. So I have to exclude them. A bit frustrated with the foot tracks but in a way it gives the beach sand some life to it. The sun are still nowhere to be found since the clouds are too thick.

This was made using a New York Beauty foundation fabric.
It took me over 3 years (from fabric shopping through quilting) to complete. I originally intended to make complete sunflowers, but I like the randomness of this better.
Completed in 2005.
