Wawona Covered Bridge

The Wawona Covered Bridge is a covered bridge spanning the South Fork Merced River near Wawona, California, in Yosemite National Park. The open bridge (without the covering) was built by Galen Clark, the steward of what was then called the Yosemite Grant, in 1868, without its cladding. The open bridge was a component of Clark's proposed new road from Wawona to the Yosemite Valley. Clark was unable to complete the road, which he sold to the Washburn Group of investors along with his stopover lodging (Clark's Station) in 1874. In mid-1875 the Washburn Group completed the road to Yosemite Valley. It is one of twelve remaining covered bridges in California. Covered bridge The modified queen post truss was covered with Douglas fir cladding in 1878, enclosing the Ponderosa pine structure and its iron tie rods. The bridge served automobile traffic until 1937, when a new bridge was built about 200 metres (660 ft) to the southwest. The bridge was repaired by Civilian Conservation Corps labor the same year. In 1955 the bridge was damaged by flooding. Marked for replacement on account of the damage and its poor general condition, the bridge was instead reconstructed after National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint intervened in its favor. Work was funded as part of the Park Service's Mission 66 program, using the bridge as the centerpiece of an interpretive exhibit on the history of the Wawona area. The Pioneer Yosemite History Center was established nearby. The bridge was repaired, with damaged elements replaced in kind. Since 1957 the bridge has had a number of repairs and replacements as materials have deteriorated.

The Temple among the Forest beneath the Clouds) ist ein chinesischer Tempel in der ehemaligen Goldgräberstadt Weaverville in den Vorgebirgen der Klamath Mountains im Nordwesten Kaliforniens. Das heutige Gebäude wurde 1874 errichtet und ersetzte einen Vorgängerbau aus dem Jahr 1853; der Innenraum ist seither unverändert geblieben.

Weaverville Joss House State Historic Park

Weaverville Joss House State Historic Park is a state park located in the center of the town of Weaverville, California. The site is a Taoist temple which is still in use, and is the oldest Chinese temple in California. History The original temple was built in 1853 by Chinese goldminers during the California gold rush. The current building, called The Temple among the Forest beneath the Clouds (雲林廟), was built in 1874 to replace earlier structures which had been destroyed by fires. In 1934, much of the material in the building was taken during a robbery. The state decided that, in order to protect the historic nature of the material, a local resident, Moon Lim Lee, would be named trustee for the site. In 1956, after Moon Lim Lee fought tirelessly advocating for the site to become a state park, the site officially became a state historic site. In 1989, a box was left at the visitor center. It contained one of the Chinese Guardian Lions which had been stolen in the 1934 theft. The state of California commissioned a new pair of dogs to place on display in the temple. The new dogs were created by traditional craftsmen in China. Much of the material on display inside the temple includes temple equipment, objects of Chinese art, and clay statues. Current temple Each year, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, a lion dance is performed. The interior of the temple remains the same as it looked when it was built, although safety railings and electric lights have been added. On the grounds, there is a recently added parking lot, visitor center, and reflecting pool. Worship is still practiced at the temple. The temple is located at the southwest corner of Main Street (California State Route 299) and Oregon Street in Weaverville.

Won Limtempel

Won Limtempel of Won Lim Temple is een van de oudste daoïstische tempels van de Verenigde Staten. Het werd gebouwd door de Chinese goudzoekers in de streek. De tempel is in 1874 gebouwd en ligt in Weaverville (Californië). Tegenwoordig heeft het gebouw nog steeds een religieuze functie. In 1956 kwam de tempel in het beheer van California State Park System. In het gebouw zijn ook oude foto's en werktuigen van de goudzoekers te zien. Het hoofdaltaar is gewijd aan de goden Guangong (Kuan Kung) en Beidi (Bok Aie). Totaal heeft de tempel twaalf beelden van goden en godinnen. Om deze houten tempel staan bomen. Niet ver van de tempel was de Chinatown van Weaverville. Tegenwoordig zijn daarvan nog drie vervallen Chinese huizen te zien. De oorspronkelijke tempel werd in 1852 of 1853 gebouwd, maar werd verwoest door een grote brand. Het huidige tempelgebouw stamt van 1874. Naast de Won Limtempel was er nog een andere daoïstische tempel in Weaverville. In Trinity County (Californië), waar Weaverville ligt, waren er totaal drie tempels van Chinese migranten. Op de duilian die ingekerfd is in houten planken zijn de jaartallen in tianyun te vinden. Sinds de Qing-dynastie waren dat soort jaartallen verboden door de Mantsjoe keizer. Degenen die dit toch gebruikten waren meestal lid van de Chinese triade Tiandihui die zich onder andere bezighielden met het omverwerpen van de Mantsjoe monarchie. Triades en het gebruik van tianyun werden door de keizerlijke overheid streng vervolgd. Dat de tempel op een afgelegen plaats lag zou kunnen hebben bijgedragen dat men durfde om tianyun te gebruiken. Spionnen van Mantsjoes waren vrijwel alleen in grote steden te vinden.

Wende Museum

Le Wende Museum est un musée d'art, un centre d'archives et un centre culturel situé à Culver City, en Californie. Il se concentre sur l' histoire et la culture matérielle des mouvements dissidents, de la société civile et de la défense des droits de l'homme à la fin du XXe siècle. Fondé en 2002, le musée préserve et rend accessible au public des documents culturels témoignant des réseaux non conformistes et des mouvements de résistance, notamment Solidarność en Pologne et la vie et l'activisme juifs en Union soviétique. Ses expositions et ses programmes publics explorent les liens entre histoire, art, bien-être et engagement communautaire. Histoire Le Wende a été fondé en 2002 par Justinian Jampol (en), originaire de Los Angeles et spécialiste de l'histoire européenne moderne. Pendant plus de dix ans, le musée a été installé dans un parc d'activités. En novembre 2012, le conseil municipal de Culver City approuve un bail de 75 ans pour l'ancien bâtiment de l'armurerie de la Garde nationale des États-Unis, situé sur Culver Boulevard, afin d'y installer définitivement le musée. Construit en 1949, le bâtiment de l'armurerie a été désaffecté en mars 2011. Après des travaux de rénovation, le Wende ouvre ses portes au public sur le site en novembre 2017. Le site a depuis été transformé en un campus qui comprend des galeries d'exposition, des installations extérieures, des jardins et des installations communautaires, dont le centre communautaire Glorya-Kaufman. Le campus d'un acre du Wende comprend le musée, des jardins et des espaces communautaires. Dans le jardin se trouve un ancien poste de garde est-allemand qui contrôlait autrefois l'accès à l'Allgemeiner Deutscher Nachrichtendienst (ADN), l'agence de presse officielle de la République démocratique allemande. Ce poste de garde accueille désormais des installations d'art contemporain. Missions Die Wende (prononcé VEN-deh) est le mot allemand pour « transformation », un terme couramment associé aux changements politiques et sociaux qui ont entouré la chute du mur de Berlin en 1989 et la dissolution de l'Union soviétique en 1991. Le musée a été créé en réponse à la dispersion, à la détérioration et à la perte d'archives et de collections privées à la suite des transformations politiques de la fin du XXe siècle. Sa mission met l'accent sur le sauvetage, la préservation et l'accès du public aux biens culturels menacés, y compris les objets conservés en dehors des institutions officielles. Les domaines d'intérêt comprennent les mouvements dissidents, les initiatives de la société civile, la défense des droits humains et la vie quotidienne sous le socialisme d'État. Une attention particulière est portée aux réseaux non-conformistes et aux mouvements de résistance, tels que le mouvement Solidarité en Pologne et l'activisme juif en Union soviétique, notamment le mouvement Refuznik.

West Beach (Santa Barbara)

West beach is in Santa Barbara, California. It is home to Santa Barbara's New Years and 4th of July Fireworks shows. Activities Kayaking, windsurfing, and sailing are common activities. West Beach Music & Arts Festival West Beach is also the home to the West Beach Music & Arts Festival. The 2008 lineup featured Ziggy Marley, Jason Mraz, Natasha Bedingfield, and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. In 2009 the festival sold out. In 2010, local government bureaucracy denied the event permit, resulting in an appeal of the decision by the organizers. In February 2009, with local politics and the Nederlander controlled Santa Barbara Bowl fiercely competing against the event, the Parks & Recreation director, went as far as to say the decision to deny the permit was unappealable. Citing due process in the United States Constitution to the City Council, the appeal process was allowed. On May 19, 2010, the production company won the appeal to run the event and was granted its permit by the Park & Recreation Commission. 13 days later an appeal of this decision was filed. Three days past the allowable date for appeal - two appellants, Hilary Kleger, UCSB's associated student's "Community Advisor" and Tony Romasanta, owner of Harbor View Inn, separately submitted their appeals at the same time. As a result of the appeals, the city made new requirements, which increased the costs, moved up deposit deadlines, and reduced the capacity of the festival. Forty days following the festival, the local production company, Twiin Productions, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. External links West Beach Festival website References
