There are a lot of interesting paintings and drawings in the exhibition. One is permitted to take photographs of most of the exhibits. This departure from previous practice is becoming more common.
Our freshwater fisheries biologists recently completed this four-year largemouth bass nest angling study. After completing the second half of the study in natural Ocala Forest lakes, biologists found that individual nest success is not really impacted by bed fishing.
The Ganden Sumtsenling Monastery, also known as Sungtseling and Guihuasi (Tibetan: དགའ་ལྡན་སུམ་རྩེན་གླིང་, ganden sumtsenling; Chinese: 松赞林寺, pinyin: Sōngzànlín Sì), is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery situated 5 kilometres from the city of Zhongdian at elevation 3,380 metres (11,090 ft) in Yunnan province, China. Built in 1679, the monastery is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan province and is sometimes referred to as the Little Potala Palace. Located in the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, it is also the most important monastery in southwest China.
It belongs to the Yellow Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism of the Gelukpa order of the Dalai Lama. The Fifth Dalai Lama's Buddhist visionary zeal established the monastery in Zhongdian, in 1679. Its architecture is a fusion of the Tibetan and Han Chinese. It was extensively damaged in the Cultural Revolution and subsequently rebuilt in 1983; at its peak, the monastery contained accommodation for 2,000 monks; it currently accommodates in its rebuilt structures 700 monks in 200 associated houses.
Because of the popularity of James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon (1933), which introduced Shangri-La and is said have been written on an inspirational theme of "the Tibetan Buddhist Scriptures, where human beings, animals, and nature lived in harmony under the rule of a Tibetan", the Chinese authorities changed the name of Zhongdian County to Shangri-La County in 2001, as the city claims to be the source of inspiration for Hilton's novel. The earlier names were – the Zhongdian (建塘镇 Jiàntáng Zhèn) to the Chinese, and Gyalthang (Standard Tibetan: རྒྱལ་ཐང་རྫོང་) to the Tibetans, of the town which has predominantly Tibetan population. The name of the county's capital town was similarly changed from Jiantang to Shangri-la. The ambiance of the town is distinctly Tibetan with prayer flags fluttering, mountains known by holy names, lamaseries and rocks inscribed in Tibetan language with Buddhist sutras.

My wide angle fit everything in one frame and the distorsions are lovely. It had just snowed so everything was white and nice.
After the study of architecture at the technical university and the sculpture at the academy in Munich he occurs 1947 the architect's office of its father Dominikus Böhm, which he resumes after its death independently. Like these he builds many churches, altogether over forty, most of it in the Rhine country, some also in Brazil, Formosa and Italy, where one requested him 1984 to the competition for the change of the Lingotto of the Fiat works in Turin. Böhm first predominantly built in concrete and arrived too much to personal solutions, e.g. with the church pc. Gertrud in Cologne (1962-65). Böhm found with the pilgrimage church in Neviges (1963-68) to an impressive plastic expressionism, which uses and increases the given natural hanglage skillfully. In its Bensberger city hall (1963-69) tried Böhm existing medieval architecture with the new building to a total ensemble to unite a kind city. In the settlement Cologne Chorweiler (1969-75) connected it the sichtbeton, which is painted partially in strong colors, with multicolored linkage balconies; in the Paderborner diocesan museum it established a glass architecture with exhibition possibilities on eleven different levels; in its community center in Rhine mountain (1977-80) the change is evident to post office-modern architecture. Not only because of the multiplicity of its buildings, but particularly because of its originality Böhm may be regarded as one of the most important architects of the German post-war period.

Pencil studies of various British waterfowl, the one exception being the Chough, a member of the Corvid (crow) family that favours a coastal habitat. The main aim of this series of sketches was inspired because I like to include wildlife especially bird's in my landscapes paintings, and wished to improve my depiction of them.
Many are drawn from my own photographs, some made using the high speed facility on my camera.

William (Bill) White III, retired BLM Physical Scientist, and a team of BLMers used a mud auger to drill salt core samples for salt thickness study. This methodology was used by Bill in 1988 and again in 2003 for salt thickness measurements that occur every 15 years. Bill chose to drill these cores next to holes previously made by the University of Utah's sonic drill with the intention of comparing his results and older methods to the University of Utah results with their new methods.

Big Sky Montana, Summit Hotel
In 1968 Chet Huntley floated the idea that he would build a resort in his home state Montana. Huntley's NBC news partner David Brinkley said Huntley had an almost mystical love for his native Montana. That year Chet Huntley and his wife Tippy, vacationed at Jim and Patty Goodrich's 320 Guest Ranch near Lone Mountain. Lone Mountain made a big impression. Huntley asked the Goodriches to keep an eye out for some land he could buy. Huntley's earliest plan was to build a dude ranch which could be used as a tax shelter for investors. The Goodriches sent Huntley a flyer on Sam Smeding's Lone Mountain Dude Ranch. Huntley's investor friend was Ed Homer, an executive with Chrysler Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of the number 3 auto maker Chrysler Corp. Chrysler Realty Corp. was founded in 1967 as an off shoot from owning so many warehouses office buildings, and dealer buildings. Homer bought in to the idea but with bigger plans - he hired a ski consultant to study the idea of a ski resort. The ski area consultant was Kingsbury Pitcher, from Santa Fe, NM. Pitcher was a former ski insturctor, rancher and a graduate of Stanford Univery in economics. Pitcher was an advisor for the developers of Snowmass at Aspen, Sun Valley, Idaho and Jay Peak, VT. He developed the Sierra Blanca ski resort near Ruidoso for Robert O. Anderson. A one day consultant in 1970 was three-time Olympic gold medalist Jean-Claude Killy who heli-skied in perfect powder on the run now known as Ambush. Killy told Huntley and Pitcher conditions were "magnifique". A feasibility study was made by David J. Flood of Manduco Corp. The consultants recommendation was to build two villages - one at the base of Lone Mountain, the other in an open meadow three miles from U.S. 191. Huntley and Homer moved quickly.
Lone Mountain Ranch consisted of the Emmett Crail Cattle Ranch and later the B-K Ranch which was owned by Jack M. Hume in the 50's and 60's. Hume was the early owner and manufacturer of Sun Rite products. Sam S. Smeding bought the cattle ranch from Hume in 1962. He sold the 1,880 acres in the Gallatin River Canyon for $350,000 to Chrysler Realty. Smeding's Lone Mountain ranch land was primarily used for the Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane designed golf course. Palmer was age 41 when he designed the $500,000 golf course. Palmer teamed with Francis Duane and they also designed the Bay Course at Kapalua, Hawaii in 1974.
The land for Mountain Village would be secured from Burlington Northern in a land swap. The term "Big Sky" was used by the state of Montana as a marketing adjective for the entire state. Chet Huntley made a visit to Helena to ask the Governor Forest Anderson of Montana for permission to use "Big Sky" for the resort's name which was enthusiastically granted. The $1.1 million 9-mile road from US 191 was funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity and Gallatin and Madison Counties.
In 1969 Chrysler hired Gustav "Gus" Raaum, who helped develop Teton Village in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to be president and chief executive of Big Sky - calling it an opportunity to start from scratch. Raaum, during his younger days, was a Norwegian Ski Jumping champion.
Chet Huntley's title was Chairman of the Board of Big Sky but also the celebrity fronting for the five corporations that owned the resort - Chrysler Realty Corp., Continental Oil (Conoco), Burlington Northern Railroad, Montana Power Co. and Northwest Orient Airlines pooled about $20 million to build the world class resort from scratch. Chet Huntley would own about 1% of the stock but as chairman of the board he had enormous influence. Huntley incurred the rath of environmental groups and many Montanans fought the development tooth and nail. Big Sky managed to open a year behind schedule in March 1974.
Huntley died of lung cancer at age 62 three days before the grand opening ceremonies. Tippy Huntley took over Chet’s marketing role. Owner Chrysler Realty decided to divest its real estate development assets and sold to Boyne USA Resorts in 1976 for $7.5 million the 204-room Huntley Lodge, 4 lifts, a shopping and convention center, and a golf course located on 2,500 acres. Everett Kircher said he had a romance with Lone Mountain after skiing it. He stated Big Sky with its 2,700 skiable vertical drop is the finest ski terrain in the country. Kircher, the sole owner of Boyne Mountain in Michigan, was well known for adapting new methods of ski instruction, and innovations in artificial snow and grooming equipment.
Gustav Raaum said the deal split Big Sky ownership in two, with Boyne Mountain/Kircher taking over the former Big Sky of Montana Inc. and a new company named Big Sky of Montana Realty Inc., who kept ownership of remaining acres and unsold condominiums. On Aug 13, 1977 Big Sky of Montana Realty auctioned off 149 condominiums raising $4.1 million to which paid off the $2.3 million in construction loans owed to First National Bank of Bozeman and Security Trust Bank of Billings. Nationally recognized Kennedy, Kenison and Wison were the auctioneers. Montana Governor Thomas Judge bought a condo for $21,000. Raaum departed Big Sky in 1977 to start an investment company in Seattle known as Hill-Raaum-Pietromonaco.
By 1999 Big Sky was averaging 300,000 skier days per year and by 2018 skier days were 500,000.
In 1999 the 10-story Summit Hotel opened, it was the largest single development undertaken in Big Sky since the resort's inception in 1974. The $45 million luxury condominium hotel has 106 units with capability of locking off to 222 hotel rooms. Some said you could ski right out your hotel window. Stephen Kircher, the project coordinator and vice president of Boyne USA said within 300 feet of the hotel's entrance are 3 high capacity lifts. The Summit included 8 two story, $1.5 million penthouses. Condo prices started at $290,000 or $337 per square foot for an 857-square-foot condo. In August 2009 the Summit hosted President Obama and family.
The Kircher family continues to operate Big Sky. Many of the college-age folks who served as bellman and bartenders in the late 70s and early 80s now serve in leadership roles at Big Sky Resort. They’ve seen Big Sky Resort grow and evolve and have played an integral part in making it happen. Now there are a combination of 21 different hotels and outside condo options. Named after Everett Kircher, the founder of Boyne USA is Everett 8800, a restaurant located at the top of Andesite Mountain (elevation 8,800 ft) and accessable only by the Ramcharger chair lift.
In 2016 Big Sky Resort' parent company, family owned Boyne Resorts, unveiled Big Sky 2025, a plan to invest $150-million dollars in mostly on-mountain improvements over the next 10 years, but the plan is already underway. This summer, the resort installed two brand new chairlifts – one of them state-of-the art. Powder Seeker, the high-speed, six-seat chairlift with heated seats, head rests and blue bubble covers, is not only the most technologically-advanced chairlift installed this year in the country, but it’s also the highest bubble chairlift in North America with the top terminal sitting at 9,812 feet.
The plan also calls for 12 upgraded or new chairlifts, including a 10-person gondola, new on-mountain restaurants, a high-alpine zip line, a new hotel, new restaurants and retail shops, a new gondola and night skiing. Also renovations of the Summit Hotel and Huntley Lodge is planned.
