The historic district comprised of Flat Top Estate, now Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, is significant at the state level under National Register Criterion A as an example of a Country Place era estate. At Flat Top, Moses Cone established a gentleman's country retreat in the style of those established by American captains of industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The historic district is one of the largest and best preserved country estates in western North Carolina, incorporating a large manor house surrounded by orchards, pastures, meadows, lakes and other constructed water features, roads, and forests. The historic district is also significant at a state level under National Register Criterion B in the area of industry for its historic association with Moses Cone, who revolutionized textile manufacturing in the South, and particularly in North Carolina, during the late nineteenth century. In partnership with his brother Ceasar, Moses Cone reorganized the marketing of textiles by southern textile mills and introduced the manufacture of denim in the South. The entrepreneurial efforts of Moses Cone during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries throughout the southeast region affected this industry throughout the country. The historic district is nationally significant under National Register Criterion C in the area of landscape architecture for the planning of the estate, in particular the extensive network of carriage roads and associated plantings designed by Moses Cone. The carriage roads are among very few such systems in private estates ofthis period in this country; represent extensive and careful design and planning; and remain nearly intact today. The historic district also includes the Colonial Revival style manor house, significant at the state level in the area of Architecture. The association of the Flat Top Estate Historic District with the Blue Ridge Parkway, and its role as a recreational area along the parkway, are not considered as part of this nomination. The structures of Flat Top Estate are closely related to the surrounding environment. Archeological remains, such as trash pits, privies, wells, and other structural remains which may be present, can provide information valuable to the understanding and interpretation of the contributing structures. Information concerning land-use patterns, agricultural practices, social standing and social mobility, as well as structural details, is often only evident in the archeological record. Therefore, archeological remains may well be an important component of the significance of the structures. At this time very limited investigation has been done to discover these remains, but it is likely that they exist, and this should be considered in any development of the property.

I stopped off for a moment to see the salt flats. Hey, it's a "gotta do" moment, ya know? Walk out onto the soft, moist salt near the cafe, and you can taste it in your mouth. There's salt everywhere. On the flats, on the road, in the air. I was tempted to drive out on to it, but when I saw some deep ruts where others had been stuck, I decided that perhaps I shouldn't tempt fate. After all, I did have to make Ely, NV for the night, and a tow bill didn't seem like a good idea.
I can't think of the Bonneville Salt Flats without thinking of Craig Breedlove and his "Spirit of America" car. He was the coolest when I was a little kid. I still remember the Beach Boys song about it all.
When we were just leaving for our road trip to Jogjakarta, it turned out we had a screw stuck in the tire. We pulled over, not 1 kilometer from where we found out, and then is shot this series of photos.
He took the tire off, ground out the hole, put a patch of rubber in it that would galvanize on the road, checked it for leaks and fit it back on the car in 9 minutes flat!
Beat that kwik-fit!

My first species from this group. The yellow is not pollen like I first thought but actually a fuzzy 'underbelly'.
This image brings me calm.
It feels like everything is still, gathered,
yet already prepared for the day that will soon arrive.
For now, everything is silent.
The boats lie overturned, like thoughts set aside to rest.
The night holds its final breath
before yielding to the light.
There is no anxious waiting,
only a full, conscious stillness.
The world is suspended,
and for a moment, it asks for nothing.
Questa immagine mi mette calma.
È la sensazione che tutto sia ancora fermo, raccolto,
ma già pronto per il giorno che arriverà a breve.
Ora tutto tace.
Le barche sono capovolte, come pensieri messi a riposo.
La notte trattiene l’ultimo respiro,
prima di cedere spazio alla luce.
Non c’è attesa ansiosa,
solo una quiete piena, consapevole.
Il mondo è sospeso,
e per un istante non chiede nulla.

The 2015 Sampson Flat bushfires were a series of bushfires in Australia in the state of South Australia, that primarily effected the Adelaide Hills and the outer Adelaide metropolitan area. The fires began on 2 January 2015 during a day of extreme heat and lasted until 9 January 2015.
The fires began in the outer northern area of the city, in the suburb of Sampson Flat. It later travelled southeast towards the Kersbrook township and across the Mount Lofty Ranges toward the Adelaide Hills. As of 6 January 2015, at least 26 houses were destroyed with 37 families in temporary accommodation. This count had increased to 38 houses, 125 outbuildings and 134 injuries by the evening of 6 January. The town of Kersbrook was worst hit, with twelve houses destroyed. On 7 January, the number of houses destroyed throughout the affected area was revised down from 38 to 32 and again down to 27 a few days later. There were no fatalities as a result of the bushfires; and the total cost was estimated to be more than A$13 million.
2014 was Australia's third-warmest year since national temperature observations commenced in 1910. Following Australia's warmest year on record in 2013, both maximum and minimum temperatures remained well above average, with frequent periods of abnormally warm weather throughout the year. For the 6-month period from July to December 2014 southeast South Australia recorded the lowest 5 per cent record of rainfall deficiencies, extending a continued pattern of severe rainfall deficiencies over a 27–month period.
On 1 January 2015 a fire weather warning and total fine ban were issued across most of South Australia as the Bureau of Meteorology estimated the temperature in Adelaide would peak at 42 °C (108 °F), with temperatures throughout the north-west of the state and stretching down to the Eyre Peninsula estimated to range between 43–46 °C (109–115 °F) on that day. On 2 January the temperature in Adelaide peaked at 41.1 °C (106.0 °F), approximately 17 °C (31 °F) degrees above the average December temperature for Adelaide while the following day reached 38.2 °C (100.8 °F), which further aggravated conditions.
The Sampson Flat fire was declared to be a "major emergency" at 08:30 ACDT on 3 January 2015, giving the South Australia Police and emergency services additional authority to manage the event and control access in and out of the area. Over thirty roadblocks limited access to the fireground to anybody not involved in the emergency response. Residents started to be allowed back in from 6 January, with their identity and address being checked to limit access to only the roads that had been cleared as safe for travel. Road clearing was suspended on the afternoon of 7 January due to the wind and thunderstorms making the activity unsafe for the cleanup crews. The major emergency declaration was rescinded at 3pm on 7 January, despite it being able to remain in force for 14 days.
The weather assisted to contain the fire on Sunday and Monday 4–5 January with mild winds and temperatures in the range of 30–34 °C (86–93 °F), but daily temperatures rose again on Tuesday and Wednesday 6–7 January, with forecast maximum temperature in the range of 35–39 °C (95–102 °F) on both days.
Thunderstorms on the afternoon of 7 January produced a spate of new grass fires from lightning, but also brought cooler temperatures, increased humidity, and rain over some parts of the fireground, making it easier to control and extinguish the remaining areas. In the early morning hours of Thursday 8 January, the South Australian Country Fire Service confirmed on its website that the fire had been completely brought under control with crews remaining on the ground to extinguish the remaining hot spots. Extensive rainfall across South Eastern Australia on 9 and 10 January significantly reduced the fire risk.
