various visuals done during the last decade.

some were printed, some were not and some will probably...

I am posting as a Sunday Slider.

Pine tree's planted by the CCC. Below is a copy and paste.

"The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal. Originally for young men ages 18–23, it was eventually expanded to young men ages 17–28. "We have several tree stands here that they planted.

The geologic wonder that is the North Unit of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, framed with the windowed CCC Shelter built high up on a bluff. The CCC used materials on hand...any question where they got this fieldstone?

Wide look at the Highway Concourse & Retaining Wall (now affectionately known as the "Castle") at Gooseberry Falls State Park.

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built this, and other major and minor park features in the 1930's as part of the New Deal that was designed to get men back to work during the Great Depression.

Gooseberry Falls State Park is located in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota on Scenic Highway 61.

Taken about 1½ months ago in Lacey Keosaqua State Park, one of Iowa's oldest parks. A close look will show the bridge has been reinforced at some point in its history.

Been off for a while visiting family and dodging snowstorms. Will try to get caught up viewing and commenting.

Good view of part of the CCC-built guardrail in Gooseberry Falls State Park on Lake Superior's North Shore in Castle Danger, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota..

The guardrail originally consisted of 20 stone piers connected by heavy chains. I think that all of the piers are still there, but at least one has been moved for whatever reason and there is at least one chain missing.

The stone pier guardrail is an unique and iconic part of the park. I am hoping that they will eventually restore it to CCC standards.

A close up image of the exterior siding on a cabin built by the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC) circa 1935. Saw marks are visible on the wood which was cut and milled on site. The cabins are now part of Raccoon State Park and some are still in use today.

Me: What are you doing Quinne?

Quinne: Photographing my blythe doll.

Me: Oh...

Quinne: I found a group online where I can upload pictures of my blythe doll!

Chinese Cultural Centre

The Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre is a special community centre for the Community of Chinatown, the Chinese community and the citizens of Calgary. Its objectives are to serve as a community centre and hub for Calgarians to meet and socialize.

The centre piece of the complex is the Dr. Henry Fok Cultural Hall, a building modeled after the Hall of Prayers of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The 21 m high ceiling is decorated with 561 dragons and 40 phoenixes. It is supported by 4 columns with gold ornamentation representing each season. The outer surface of the dome is covered in blue tiles imported from China and crafted by the same company that endowed the Temple of Heaven during the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago.

Hey all of you!

After Vignweek, the CCC arrived! As I think there are some lovely categories, I wanted to build an entry in some of them.

So I start off with the Desert Bandits category as I really like that category!

So here it is, The Fallen Temple. The bas of the temple is tilted in two directions: Leaning forward and to the right.

I hope you like this build and be ready for some more entries over the next two months!

Me: Are you spying on the neighbors again?

Quinne: Yea! I'm trying out these new high tech binoculars I bought.

Me: What's in your backpack?

Quinne: Spying supplies.

Me: What are spying supplies?

Quinne: Shhhhh, I'm busy and you're loud!

Looking over a CCC-built stone and log picnic table at the stone pier and chain guardrail that was made at Gooseberry Falls State Park in the 1930's.

The park is located in Castle Danger, Minnesota (north of Two Harbors) on Lake Superior's North Shore.

Orcs are gathering their forces in the Shadow mountains for the final strike. The last war between the darkness and the light is coming...

My first entry into the Collosal Castle Contest. Category: Castle vignette.

It's one of two 8x8 vigs I will post this year. There will be a bigger build as well. ;)

Also, I'm having trouble with submitting my entry on official CCC page, is there any different way to do it?
