Dewey Soper Migratory Bird Sanctuary, or Dewey Soper, is a migratory bird sanctuary in Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in western Baffin Island, from Bowman Bay to the Koukdjuak River, and is named in honour of zoologist J. Dewey Soper. It is an 8,159 square kilometres (3,150 sq mi) area that was classified a wetland of international importance via the Ramsar Convention on May 24, 1982. The bird sanctuary supports nearly 30% of the breeding geese in Canada, making it the largest goose colony in the world. Up to two million birds of various species use the area for summer nesting, and it is also "habitat for one of Canada's major barren-ground caribou herds". The sanctuary was established in 1957, and is subject to the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, which defines and governs ownership, land use and hunting rights in the area.]]>

This model is quite wonderful. The sun is a mirrored 303mm dome. Each planet is represented as a to-scale engraving on a plate mounted on a pillar.

The positions of the pillars reflect the positions of the planets at midnight on 1 January 2000.

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are on the recreation field, Jupiter on the edge of the field, Saturn in an adjoining lane, and so on to Pluto, which is over a kilometre's walk away, in a hedgerow on a public footpath.

A 38mm model of the nearest star, Proxima Centauri is in the Griffith Laboratory, Los Angeles, 5,390 miles away. This makes it the largest scale model in the world. A 600mm globe representing Sirius the Dog Star (the brightest star in our hemisphere) can be seen at Sydney Observatory 10,550 miles away and a 50mm ball for Barnard's Star in the Falklands Islands Museum 7,825 miles away.]]>

The Apollonio Stadium (Stadio Olympica) was used for the ice hockey tournament. It was also the site of the opening and closing ceremonies. Considerable work had to be done to bring the stadium up to date. A second rink was added to allow for two games to be held simultaneously. The stadium seating was enlarged to accommodate 2,000 people. Temporary seating was added to increase the capacity to 12,000 seats for the opening and closing ceremonies. The stadium also was outfitted with electric lights for the first time]]>

Giant slalom

@ 2009-02-26 04:50:38
The alpine runs (Le piste apline) were established on the slopes of Monte Tofana and Monte Faloria. The men's and women's Downhill and Slalom races were held on Tofana, while the two Giant Slalom events were held on Faloria. It took nearly two years to complete construction on the runs, the delay was due to the terrain, which could not be worked on during the winter. While snow had never failed to fall in sufficient quantity in the areas selected for the apline events, the winter of 1956 did not produce enough snow to safely navigate the runs. As a consequence snow had to be transported from other parts of the mountains by the Italian army]]>

One of the craters from the 21 mines that were laid along the Messines Ridge on the Western Front in 1917. If you track north you can see a few more craters.

The mines were placed under German lines at Messines. 8,000 metres of tunnel were dug and 600 tons of explosive were placed in position.
A massive bombardment of German lines began on 21st May. Simultaneous explosion of the mines took place at 3.10 on 7th June. The blast killed an estimated 10,000 soldiers and was so loud it was heard in London. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/messines-ridge-wwi-craters-for-21-mines/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/messines-ridge-wwi-craters-for-21-mines/ Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:52:54 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/messines-ridge-wwi-craters-for-21-mines/ 50.77270100 2.86554300 <![CDATA[Hawthorn Ridge mine crater - Somme WWI]]>

A 300 acre campground for seriously ill children co-founded by actor Paul Newman in 1988. With generous donations from corporations and individuals, more than 1,000 children aged 7-15 attend the camp for free each year.

Many activities are available to the campers, including hot air balloon rides, arts and crafts, farm animals, swimming, fishing, canoeing, basketball, and softball. Staff members also operate an outreach program for children who cannot visit the camp.

This camp has inspired several more camps around the world as part of The Association of Hole In The Wall Camps.]]>

'Joe's Truck Stop' (ouch!)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

Joe's Truck Stop is a simple four foot thick wall placed at the bottom of a steep mountain road in Fort Payne, Alabama aka "sock capital of the world." The structure is reinforced with wire, pipe and the chassis from two Dodge trucks.

After one too many run ins, or perhaps a better term is run overs, of his front yard, ol' Joe Faulkner decided he had had enough and went about to put the brakes on these free wheeling good buddies who had whipped out every tree on his property.

The name Joe's Truck Stop was coined by local kids amused by the incidents. In 1950 alone, 13 rigs rolled through his humble domain. Every kind of truck from fruit to circus has taken a dump in Joe's yard. ]]>

Pinchot Sycamore - Largest Tree in CT

The Pinchot Sycamore, the largest tree in the state of Connecticut and second-largest sycamore on the Atlantic coast, stands in Simsbury.

It was last measured in November 1998, when it was 26 feet in circumference and 95 feet high, with a canopy that averaged 140 feet -- about half a football field. Any of five limbs spreading from the trunk would be sizeable trees themselves.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pinchot-sycamore-largest-tree-in-ct/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pinchot-sycamore-largest-tree-in-ct/ Wed, 23 Jan 2008 08:24:59 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pinchot-sycamore-largest-tree-in-ct/ 41.84774200 -72.80678400 <![CDATA[Nikwasi Indian Mound]]>
