"Known as “Vanadu,” Clarke Bedford’s peculiar art house is filled with a large collection of antiques, junk, and historical objects. Throughout the high-density cluster of sculptures and mosaics you’ll find a horned wooden owl, a black and white striped cone, a skull, a statue of John Locke, a German language globe stuffed inside a rusted horn, and a woman’s face covered in glass and colored fragments of junk.
Clarke Bedford also owns four fully functional art cars, made of everything from car parts to used washing machine pieces and moose antlers, which are typically placed on the curbside of the art house. The most famous car, the traveling Vanadu Ford, features vases and horns on the sides and graveyard spires on the roof, and it even has its own Facebook account. When he was working as a conservator for the Hirshhorn Museum, Bedford would drive one of the elaborate silver cars on his daily commute to work, and to this day the art cars remain one of Bedford’s major sources of transportation.
Clarke Bedford’s named his art car and house “Vanadu” to honor the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose famous “Kubla Khan” poem emerged from an opium-induced dream about the ancient Chinese city of Xanadu, once under the rule of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. In addition to “Vanadu,” Bedford also calls his assemblage of recycled materials the Assemblage Cottage, pronounced with a French accent as “As-sem-blage Co-ttage.”"

Not one to simply accept conventional wisdom about shooting waterfalls I took a couple of shots on this beautiful crystal clear blue sky day and had some fun experimenting with Photoshop - using a variety of blend modes and %s - to combine them. Thought I'd share in case you were curious :-)
Individual copies of the images of the images follow. As always, your frank comments and thoughts appreciated.

Teachers view image of large tree cookie, cross-cut section showing fire history. QUINCY, Calif., November 7, 2017 — For Immediate Release. Plumas Unified School District (PUSD) science teachers are using an exciting new fire science curriculum to ignite students’ passion for science. The Sierra Nevada FireWorks curriculum about the science of wildland fire was developed as a collaboration among PUSD, Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory (of the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station), and the Plumas National Forest. While the curriculum for the Sierra Nevada is brand new, many activities were adapted from the original FireWorks educational program, published in 2000.
The new curriculum has been pilot-tested in many science classes and is now available for free online at www.frames.gov/fireworks/curriculum/sierra-nevada. Many activities require associated materials such as posters, hardware, and plant specimens. Digital materials can be downloaded and printed from the website, while other materials are available in FireWorks trunks. Trunks of materials have been provided to teachers at PUSD school sites.
FireWorks is a valuable tool to all educators, interpreters, and fire prevention specialists. Activities provide students with interactive, hands-on materials to study wildland fire and local ecology. Many of the activities are applicable wherever wildland fires occur, however, many are specialized for the Sierra Nevada.
To get a flavor for what takes place in the classroom: students learn how ladder fuels affect fire spread from the forest floor to the tops of trees in the Tinker Tree Derby. Students design model trees using metal stands and newspaper ‘leaves’ and then light a fire beneath their tree. Winning trees survive the fire with plenty of unburned leaves so they can still photosynthesize. Experiments with the Matchstick Forest Model examine how slope, density of trees, and other variables affect fire spread.
Rob Wade, PUSD outdoor educator has this to say about FireWorks, “It has been a great experience working with the team during the past couple of years. They really have transformed this idea into a meaningful, relevant curriculum for our teachers. We couldn’t be more pleased and are excited to integrate it district-wide this year.”

Ilana Abrahamson, Ecologist with Missoula Fire Sciences Lab added, “This program offers exciting,
hands-on activities for students to learn about Sierra Nevada ecosystems and the role of wildland
fire. It resulted from a rewarding collaboration, and PUSD teachers provided valuable feedback
about the activities and instruction. The result is a fun and robust program for educators and students
to use throughout the Sierra Nevada.”

Maison du Brésil Paris - Le Corbusier & Lucio Costa 1959
Created as a microcosm of Brazilian life and culture, Maison du Brésil is a significant example of Le Corbusier’s high-density residential design. Inaugurated in 1959, it is one of the international residences at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, located in the heart of Paris. As the “House of Brazil”, the building acts as both a residence hall for Brazilian academics, students, teachers, and artists, and as a hub for Brazilian culture, by providing exhibition spaces and archival resources. The Brazilian government commissioned the building in 1952 to provide a residence for Brazilian graduate students in Paris, and to promote the relations between France and Brazil. To design the building, they selected Lúcio Costa, the architect most famous for his work planning Brasilia. After completing initial sketches, Costa reached out to Le Corbusier, with whom he had collaborated on the plans for Brasilia, to aid in the design process and overlook construction. Rather quickly, Corbusier made significant changes to Costa’s original design for the building. Although the major forms of the building remained the same, the changes were enough to estrange Costa from the project, and he would eventually have his name removed from the design.
The building, like its neighbour Le Corbusier’s Swiss Pavilion (1932), is a five story concrete volume that stands above the ground on stilts, also made of concrete. Beneath this volume is an irregular first floor that houses administrative spaces in the west wing, and communal spaces, such as the library, the theatre, the exhibition space and gathering space, in the east. The two wings are joined underneath the building by a curvilinear passage that acts internally as an intermediate space, and externally as a boundary for outdoor arcades. The large volume above, which houses the residential spaces, is laid out with rooms in the west wing and communal kitchens, stairwells, and other facilities in the east. As such, the eastern and western facades differ according to their respective interior functions. The eastern facade has large glass expanses in the middle to allow for light and openness in the communal kitchens, and small square windows on either side to allow light to enter the flanking stairwells. Balconies painted with polychrome colors make up the entire western facade, very much like those of the Unite d’Habitation. Primary colours painted on the balcony interiors offer variance from the overall repetition, giving the façade’s composition a rhythmic character. The concrete throughout is treated with ‘betón brut’. The concrete is rough and untreated and withholds much of the grain pattern of the wood that formed it. This process makes apparent the building’s construction and craft by revealing the raw materials and formative processes that constitute the building
Java’s population density of 2,070 people per square mile is more than five times New York State’s population density of 382.4 people per square mile. New Jersey, the state with the highest population density in the U.S., has 886 people per square mile, less than half that of Java.

Part of the Walking the District Line set.
On Boxing Day, in very cold conditions (-20°C), I shot some long exposures along the Bow River just after sunrise.
After that session I wanted to do some sunset long exposures at a point slightly further downstream where there are rapids and more texture in the water.
December 29 was cold and clear and I knew that the sunset would be subdued and short lived, but there would be nice colour on the water. Bundled up in wool, fleece, and down, I headed out the door just as the sun was casting shadows in the valley. By the time I reached the river the light was dark enough to do 30 second exposures with the Lee Filters Little Stopper in place.
We had a major flood in 2013 and about 5 meters of bank were washed away from this location. Where I was shooting the bank was severely undercut and I was a bit nervous the whole thing would collapse and send me for a very cold swim in fast current.
I shot most of the river shots with 0.3 and 0.9 neutral density graduated filters (4 stops total) balancing the brightness of the sky with the foreground elements.
I walked home in the dark, admiring the stars starting to twinkle in the sky.
The trees on the island across the channel were nicely silhouetted against the colourful sky so I exposed a few telephoto shots before packing up. Nothing fancy, but nice details.
