Grand Canyon National Park is working with area tribes and art experts to restore the Fred Kabotie murals and the rock art images, painted by Fred Geary, which have been damaged by water. The first phase of the project is being funded through a grant from American Express obtained by Grand Canyon Association.This grant will help with the evaluation, documentation and testing process that is a critical component of all historic preservation projects. The park intends to preserve the murals while remaining true to Mary Colter’s design. Over the next year, a conservation specialist will analyze and restore the murals with the help of students participating in an intern training program.
On January 1, 2015, the Watchtower was purchased from the concessionaire managing it and designated a National Park Service building. NPS plans to return the Watchtower to its intended purpose, as a tribute to the Native American tribes who have cultural ties to Grand Canyon. The park is moving forward with plans to restore the tower to reflect Mary Colter’s original vision for the building.Visitors first enter through the large, open Kiva Room. Until recently, this room was filled to capacity with a large gift shop. The gift shop has since been removed from the rotunda and reduced to a much smaller footprint. The new Grand Canyon Association Park Store fits into the original space Colter envisioned for a gift shop: a corner off to the side of the rotunda. All the proceeds support the park.
Originally the Watchtower was designed as a space where visitors could see Native American craft demonstrations by weavers and basket makers. The park will bring Native American artists back into the space to share tribal traditions, dances, songs, skills, art and oral histories with the public. The park is also considering turning the old Desert View visitor center into a Native American cultural center.The transformation of the Watchtower back to its original intent is already proving to be a dramatic experience for visitors and park staff.

This signage here is not original, but was speculatively added to aid shoppers to added services, intruding on the mall's minimalist design aspect during the 2000s.
After all, the ATM wasn't a common convenience in 1976.
At the moment, you may need some cash for the center's final, remaining few retailers!

Just south of Pyuntaza, Myanmar. 'YC' Pacific 649 is waiting for traffic to be stopped.The track's metre gauge appears to widen noticeably immediately before the road crossing, but two trains passed over it without incident while we were there.

A Flickr mail conversation got me thinking that I should make my policy on access levels clear to avoid any misunderstandings. I've added this to my profile as well.

Had a great day in Hocking Hills yesterday-Ash Cave, Old Man's Cave, and Cedar Falls were explored.
Thanks Nancy, for asking me to tag along. A gorgeous day to be out enjoying nature, although very windy.
A lot of shadows and bright lights because of the time of day, so used a topaz filter to soften the glare. Topaz is what I do instead of deleting an imperfect pic. Below is another without the topaz.

The High Level Bridge is the proper name of the Lethbridge Trestle Bridge and 314ft up (96m) it almost looks fragile. However, 98yrs later it still carriers trains shortenning their route by 5km; it's reason for being. From this angle it does not even look like a train bridge, it looks more like a high wire act during twilight in some forgotten circus.
