Salt Lake City, Utah, Winter 2001
The 2002 Winter Olympics are hosted by Salt Lake City at several venues within the city, in nearby cities, and within the adjacent Wasatch Mountains. This simulated natural color image presents a snowy, winter view of north central Utah that includes all of the Olympic sites. The image extends from Ogden in the north, to Provo in the south; and includes the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains and the eastern part of the Great Salt Lake.
This image was acquired on February 8, 2001 by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA's Terra satellite. With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region, and its high spatial resolution of 15 to 90 meters (about 50 to 300 feet), ASTER will image Earth for the next 6 years to map and monitor the changing surface of our planet.
ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched December 18,1999, on NASA's Terra satellite. The instrument was built by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. A joint U.S./Japan science team is responsible for validation and calibration of the instrument and the data products. Dr. Anne Kahle at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, is the U.S. Science team leader; Bjorn Eng of JPL is the project manager. ASTER is the only high resolution imaging sensor on Terra. The Terra mission is part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, along-term research and technology program designed to examine Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere, ice and life as a total integrated system.
The broad spectral coverage and high spectral resolution of ASTER will provide scientists in numerous disciplines with critical information for surface mapping, and monitoring dynamic conditions and temporal change. Example applications are: monitoring glacial advances and retreats; monitoring potentially active volcanoes; identifying crop stress; determining cloud morphology and physical properties; wetlands evaluation; thermal pollution monitoring; coral reef degradation; surface temperature mapping of soils and geology; and measuring surface heat balance.

This is a female Gorgon Copper (Lycaena gorgon) butterfly perched on her host plant - native Longstem Buckwheat aka Wand Buckwheat (Eriogonum elongatum) in the Polygonaceae plant family. I know it's a female because I saw her ovipositing on another plant a few moments before. I also got a photo of the male butterfly today visiting flowers of Golden Yarrow, but I like this one better. Unfortunately, neither photo shows the pretty upper wings - see this photo for the upper wings of male and female together. (East Camino Cielo, Santa Ynez Mountains, 11 June 2018)
The winds finally died down today, leaving us with a gorgeous day. I saw hundreds of Variable Checkerspot (Euphydryas chalcedona) butterflies today, as well as an unusual Callippe Fritillary (Speyeria callippe) and the first California Clearwing Moth (Hemaris thetis) of the year. No photos yet, but a quest begins!
All Saints church, Jesus Lane, Cambridge
Detail from Our Lord Enthroned, by Edward Burne-Jones, 1866
From MY CHRISTMAS SET.
All Saints church was built for the Church of England in 1864 to the designs of the great George Bodley, perhaps the most consistently brilliant of all 19th century English church architects. It is a high Tractarian temple designed in the Decorated style, and is generally considered to be Bodley's masterpiece. Interior decoration includes the work of William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown, Charles Kempe and Frederick Leach.
For many years Cambridge's highest Anglo-catholic church, the congregation gradually dwindled as fashions changed and the population of the parish moved out to the big new housing estates. In 1973, All Saints was declared redundant.
Attempts were made to find a new use, but after three years none had been found. So, in keeping with the redundant churches legislation of the time, All Saints was scheduled for demolition.
There was a national outcry, and at the eleventh hour the church was saved, and vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust in 1981. Considerable restoration was needed, and the building was mothballed until the early years of the 21st century, when a massive programme of repairs was carried out, although the church still remained locked.
In 2007, theological students from neighbouring Westcott House began to care for the building, opening it to the public most days and using it for daily liturgies. The response of the public, and a renewed interest genrally in 19th Century churches, galvanised the CCT to the extent that a lot of money was spent in turning it into a somewhat controversial visitors centre, with movement-activated spotlights and voice commentary as you wander around, the first of which makes photography now very difficult, and the second of which is merely very irritating.

Die Blätter fallen, fallen wie von weit,
als welkten in den Himmeln ferne Gärten;
sie fallen mit verneinender Gebärde.
Und in den Nächten fällt die schwere Erde
aus allen Sternen in die Einsamkeit.
Wir alle fallen. Diese Hand da fällt.
Und sieh dir andre an: es ist in allen.
Und doch ist Einer, welcher dieses Fallen
unendlich sanft in seinen Händen hält.
(Rilke: Herbst)
She was our host for the night during the little trek we did there.
In Tagong village, we thought we'd have a guide but we only could take a picture of a map (actually a drawing) to help us find the winter nomad's shelter.
Indeed, for few month each year, they're not really nomads but they live in houses, lost in the high grasslands of Kham.
On the way we met her husband on a bike.
After that, we found them at their house and they welcomed us for a lunch.

6th Annual Father's Day Auto Show
Classic Autos Cruise into Napa Valley for Father’s Day
V Marketplace celebrates the “art of the driving machine”
The Napa Valley will proudly welcome car connoisseurs from around the Bay Area and beyond as V Marketplace in Yountville, hosts the 26th Annual Father’s Day Invitational Auto Show. Auto entries are by invitation. The event is Free to the Public.
From the national champions, to the local favorites, to the one-of-a-kind collector curiosities, more than 150 early and late model autos spanning almost 100 years of production can be seen at this non-competitive, open-class invitational exhibition. Whether nostalgia means rolling down the road in a classic 1928 Model A Phaeton, sliding into the drive-in with a ‘57 Chevy, or cruising the fast lane in a Ferrari, this show-stopping collection presents some of the finest autos to grace the highway in any era and is the perfect gift for Father’s Day!
V Marketplace has also invited local nonprofits to add to the festivities. Firing up their grill, serving delicious sausages and hot dogs, will be the Fire Explorers and the Yountville Fire Department. Manning the booth where cool beverages can be found will be the Native Sons of the Golden West and the Native Daughters of the Golden West. Operation Love will be on site collecting donations to provide care packages to our deployed armed forces stationed in harms way. All proceeds from these sales go directly to the nonprofits.
Make it a Father’s Day weekend escape to Napa Valley! Surrounded by lush gardens, beautiful water features, and meandering cobblestone walkways, V Marketplace, provides a beautiful backdrop for this annual event. Visitors can look forward to a unique variety of distinctive specialty shops, galleries, restaurants, wine tasting, hot air ballooning and Michael Chiarello’s Bottega Ristorante.

That is the name of the neighborhood hiding behind the Autumn colors here. An area with row-houses, built back in the 1950s. Today, considered “culturally valuable”, so maybe I should go in for a closer look.
