Lovely 'Lake Stars' Shine in Winter's Chill

February 19, 2021

On certain days during Boston’s long winter, residents can glimpse the stars by looking down. On the dove-colored surfaces of frozen ponds or lakes, shapes appear, rounded in the center with spiky arms stretching outward. The water, a scramble of gray and white, seems to mirror a star-pricked sky. Instead of appearing brighter than their surroundings, as their spacefaring counterparts do, these shapes are darker, showcasing the deep blue below. The moody wells and meandering branches might evoke a...

Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland

February 19, 2021

The Rangers FC are considered the most successful team in Scottish football history with 54 league titles. The first match that was played at the Ibrox stadium was against Heart of Midlothian in December 1899. Ibrox underwent significant redevelopment in 1928, which saw the construction of the iconic red-brick grandstand, designed by Archibald Leitch. At that point, the stadium could hold more than 80,000 fans, but was further enlarged during the 1930s with expansions of the terraces. Ibrox achieved...

Tremont Nail Company in Wareham, Massachusetts

February 19, 2021

Before it became known for summer tourism and cranberry bogs, Wareham was the center for a more hard-hitting industry: nail manufacturing. The Tremont Nail Company, founded in 1819 on the ashes of a cotton mill that was partially burned by the British during the War of 1812, is the only remnant of what was once one of Wareham’s most important economic drivers. The country’s oldest nail company, Tremont made nails at this site along the Wareham River and just...

The Old Haa's Inuksuit Collection in Burravoe,...

February 19, 2021

Inuksuit (singular inukshuk or inuksuk) are collections of rocks, most commonly arranged in a vaguely humanoid shape or as cairns, stacked by indigenous populations in northern Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, such as the Inuit and Yupik. While there are many theories about their traditional uses and symbolism, including as markers and guidance tools, inuksuit continue to be crafted by these populations in modern times and have become an internationally-distinguishing symbol, particularly for Canada. With the flag of the territory...

Jamie Wright's Well in Glasgow, Scotland

February 19, 2021

This well set into the hillside was first constructed during the Victorian period in the late 1800s.

He constructed a well at the spring to aide those who were venturing through Campsie Fells. The well has been modified...

Okta Centrum AS in Rapla, Estonia

February 19, 2021

The 1970s was a period of new architectural discoveries in Estonia and designers were eager to experiment. This multi-purpose administrative building was designed by architect Toomas Rein and was completed in 1977. The building was crafted as an octagonal space that rises up a central construction. Although the building appears to have many levels, it’s actually just three floors. The ground floor housed commercial premises and a lobby. The backside of the building featured a cafe and access to...

The Easy, Edible Art of Lunar New...

February 18, 2021

Come January and February each year, much of China’s population gears up for the world’s most massive coordinated migration. The Lunar New Year is traditionally spent with family, which means that millions of people across the country pack their bags and head home, a process known in Mandarin as tuányuán (团圆), or “reunion.” Growing up in a Chinese family, I was no stranger to this tradition. Though our Lunar New Year celebrations were relatively tame by Chinese standards, the...

On the Slopes With Montana's Avalanche Detectives

February 18, 2021

Just a few strides away from the snowmobile, Doug Chabot knew that something was off. His uphill-equipped skis sunk deep into the snow, deeper than they should have. Weak snow, he noted, as he followed the track left by his partner’s skis. The two figures ascended the slope of Lionhead Ridge, a popular backcountry skiing area in southwest Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park. It was November 24, and snow was falling. Little had come down over the...

Found: The Lost Tlingit Fort That Defended...

February 18, 2021

In 1804, indigenous Tlingit people living near the Alaskan town of Sitka went to war with the Russians. Russian fur traders, actually, and their battle would have far reaching consequences, not just for the Tlingit, but also for the future of Alaska, by setting the stage for it to become part of the United States. The battleground where this took place is now part of the Sitka National Historic Park, but the precise location of the Tlingit fort had...

Neutra VDL Studio and Residences in Los...

February 18, 2021

Just across from Silver Lake Reservoir is the building Richard Neutra once called his home and workplace until his death in 1970. The first iteration of this house was constructed in 1932 with the financial backing of a wealthy Dutch industrialist named Cees H. Van der Leeuw, which is where the “VDL” initials come from. Sadly, a fire destroyed the original property in March 1963, turning much of his life’s work and architectural sketches into ashes. However, his son...

Miracle Arch in Saint-Bernard, France

February 18, 2021

In 2005, Pascal Sombardier discovered the largest natural arch in the Alps, Tour Isabelle or Tour Percée, with a span well over 90 feet (30 meters). He revealed the find to the world a year later in a book entitled Chartreuse Insolite, with a cover photo that triggered a passion for arch hunting across the region. In the following years, over 70 arches were added to the list in Chartreuse alone. The Chartreuse Mountains, a limestone massif in France, is...

Roman Baths of Como in Como, Italy

February 18, 2021

Excavations on this site first began during the 1970s. A carpark was added much later, constructed to suspend over the ruins of the 1st-century CE baths. Visitors can view the ruins from two streets and the site can be visited on a series of elevated walkways. These allow guests to see the remains in their full glory and the excavation work taking place. Two small showrooms with explanatory panels preserve a selection of artifacts discovered during excavations from 2006-2008. The...

Tesoro Adobe in Valencia, California

February 18, 2021

During the early 20th-century, the Santa Clarita Valley was a favorite backdrop for numerous western films. Dozens of western actors could be seen chasing bandits or hunting for treasure amid the hillsides and valleys of the area. Harry Carey Sr. was a prolific western actor, starring in hundreds of films during the early 20th-century. Carey fell in love with the area and established a 2,000-acre ranch on-site and built the Spanish style Tesoro Adobe as his home. Carey often...
