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.

Mid Levels: View from what is supposedly the world's longest escalator. It's a series, not just one enormous people mover. Asia is obsessed with escalators. You barely have to walk if you don't feel like it. In Singapore you can go blocks and blocks without ever setting foot outside (and for some reason their escalators are faster than in other countries). I think it partly has to do with the heat and wanting to stay air conditioned. We tried to spend as little time as possible actually using our feet on outdoor sidewalks, and were quite successful.
Achterneed Level Crossing as it was as an automatic open crossing (AOCL) in September 2013, shortly before it was upgraded with the addition of half barriers.
The LED wig-wag traffic signals were an earlier upgrade within the last three years.

The level crossing at Awre Junction, and disused signal box. Beware the CCTV!! The FoD Central Railway opened as a freight-only line on 25.5.1868 and ran to the left of the box. Behind the camera was Awre station, open 1851-1959, to serve the South Wales line only. The Central Line was built to exploit previously untouched mineral wealth in the heart of the Forest – and had it run, as proposed, through to Ledbury, via Mitcheldean Road, the history of the Forests' railways would've been markedly different. In the event, the line as built was effectively killed off by the opening of the Severn and Wye's Mineral Loop in 1872 – north of Blakeney, the line shut around 1926, and south of there remained open until 1962 but for nothing more glamorous than wagon storage. A sad story, 'a railway that should never have been built', and one which so lumbered its shareholders that allegedly none of them dared show their face at one of the lines' AGM's!!! The section of railway behind the camera was retained as a goods yard until 11.9.1961, though precise dates for anything relating to the Central Line vary! The line cost £47,500, and was built by E.W. Morris. A station also existed behind the camera, though only for use by the South Wales Railway. The station opened as 'Awre for Blakeney' on 19.9.1851, and closed 10.8.1959. No trace remains today, other than the skeleton of a signal post, and overgrown coal depot on the Central Line side. With the Central being a freight-only line, this station had nothing to do with that concern, goods being dealt with at the dedicated goods station further up the branch at Blakeney. A disused house in the woods close by (seen on my 'Disused Gloucestershire' photoset, might have been the station masters house?

The High Level Bridge over the River Tyne.
Designed by Robert Stephenson and built between 1847 and 1849, it is the first major example of a wrought iron tied arch or bow-string girder bridge.
This looks like top soil which they are taking from the banked sides which used to keep any noise from the surrounding area.
Our Level 35 section gets underway at the race start. Only the eight boats in the foreground with jib and main up are in our section. Boats in other sections still waiting to start can be seen milling in the background.
The Level 35 section was formed locally by skippers who have boats built in a similar era (80's-90's) with similar dimensions and performance characteristics. The section includes J/35's, Thomas 35's, and Schock 35's. All skippers agree to race under a unified handicap rating so that corrected times do not factor into section finishing positions.

Use Your Brain to Play Games or Play With Your Emotions
By Mike Chang on Mar 7th, 2007 in Tech
i was reading this with very interest and my second thought was, well, and what about go to next level in comunication with animals?
a way of relaxing, playing smurf village for a few minutes each day. Next level is 29.
Next level in also getting the layers in photoshop right , and also the cut outs.
I have been practising again!
Next level is getting to use my lighting gear (photostudio) for nice portraits.
Still there is a lot to learn!
I can already see, it takes time to do it properly. Got about 30 minutes for this one. That is not enough to do it very accurataly!
