Misty Mountain

Misty Mountain at 1330 Angelo Drive (also known as the Stein House or Frederick Niblo House) is a large detached house in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, sited on 6.5 acres of grounds with landscaped gardens and a swimming pool and tennis court. It was designed by Wallace Neff and built in 1926 for the film director Fred Niblo and his wife, the actress Enid Bennett. The house has been assessed for taxation purposes at 8,651 square feet with 11 bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It has been described as "crab shaped", with the design of the house curling around a motor court at its center. Neff's original floor plan for the house was described by Variety magazine as featuring an "elliptical entrance hall flanked by formal living and dining rooms, a library and a private guest bedroom with en suite bathroom and private entrance". A service wing contained "a kitchen-sized butler's pantry, a slightly larger kitchen with walk-in pantry, an adjoining breakfast room and a pair of staff bedrooms that share a hall bathroom". Staff or guest quarters had a living room with kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms. Neff calculated the turning circle of Niblo's car when designing the driveway. Following a decline in Niblo's fortunes with the advent of sound in motion pictures, Niblo rented the house to Katharine Hepburn. The house was later owned by Jules Stein, the founder of the MCA Inc. talent agency and media company. Stein bought the house in 1940 after a bidding war against Cary Grant. Stein died in 1981; the house was listed for sale for $10 million. It was bought by the Australian-born American media proprietor Rupert Murdoch in September 1986 for $5.8 million, with Murdoch's purchase papers signed by Barry Diller. In his 2001 book Virtual Murdoch, Neil Chenoweth attributes the commanding position of the house as having contributed to Murdoch's success in deals and negotiations. The estate was quietly put up for sale in 2014 for a price believed to be $35 million. The house was bought by Murdoch's youngest son, James. The Stein house inspired Ken Ungar's design for his own house on Country Valley Road in Westlake Village. Jean Stein recounted her childhood in the house and her parents' parties there in her 2016 memoir West of Eden. Stein recalled her mother telling her that Orson Welles had visited the house with Dolores del Río and told her that it reminded him of the German resort of Berchtesgaden, the mountain retreat of Adolf Hitler. Stein was also told that Katharine Hepburn encountered snakes in the living room of the house when she lived there in the 1930s. In Stein's memoir Fiona Shaw recalled that when at the house "Up there you couldn't believe you were in Los Angeles...But of course as soon as you came out on the patio behind the house and looked down at the city, you thought you were in heaven, looking down on earth". At parties, films were shown by Stein's parents in an underground screening room at the house. References
Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest

Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest (MHDSF) is a state forest located on Bear Creek Road (Tulare County Route 220), 28 km (17 mi) northeast of Springville in Tulare County, California. The protected land covers an area of 4,807 acres (19 km2) with an elevation range between 1,463 m (4,800 ft) and 2,377.5 m (7,800 ft). The forest is best known for its namesake giant sequoia grove, Mountain Home Grove, which is home to some of the largest giant sequoias in the world. The forests of Mountain Home were used by local Native Americans in the summer to camp, hunt, and gather food. An interpretive exhibit at Sunset Point leads visitors through an archaeological site with evidence of occupation dating back 8,000 years. European settlers first arrived in the Mountain Home area in the early 1860s. The local forestry industry boomed following the construction of the first sawmills. Sheep and other livestock were also brought to graze upon the many grassy meadows of the forest. The forest was also a popular retreat for the people of Central Valley. Many small summer cabins were built and the forest saw about 600-700 annual visitors. In 1886, Andrew and Sarah Doty founded the small resort community of Mountain Home, drawing more visitors to the forest. By the 1890s, the local forestry industry began to wane. In 1907, the Central California Redwood Company sold the largest tract of land to the Hume-Bennett Lumber Company. Shortly thereafter the Hume-Bennett Lumber Company declared bankruptcy and the land was once again up for sale. There were no takers and so the land lay commercially dormant and open to visitors without restriction. In 1930, Donald Sutch bought the rights to log the forest deadfall of the land once owned by Hume-Bennett. Sutch worked the land until 1941, when efforts to sell the property began anew. The Michigan Trust Company owned the property at the time. Jack Brattin, the company's executive who handled the property, had determined the land was no longer commercially viable to log, so he offered all 4,800 acres for sale to the U.S. Forest Service - only to be turned down. Undeterred, Brattin decided to create a compelling reason for a public agency to buy it. He authorized Dude Sutch and two commercial lumber companies to start felling live sequoia trees. This caused public outcry and forced the U.S. Forest Service and the State of California to negotiate the purchase of the land. The Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden West was especially outspoken about the need to preserve the giant sequoias of Mountain Home. In 1946, the State of California purchased the land and established the Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest, the first California State Forest. It was also the first demonstration forest meant for scientific research and experimentation in sustainable forestry and the restoration of the local ecology.

Ortega-Vigare Adobe

The Ortega-Vigare Adobe is second oldest adobe in the San Gabriel Valley, built in 1792. The Ortega-Vigare Adobe was designated a California Historic Landmark (No.632) on Nov. 2, 1949. The Ortega-Vigare Adobe is located is in what is now the City of San Gabriel, California in Los Angeles County at 616 S Ramona Street, San Gabriel, Cal. Overview The Ortega-Vigare Adobe is named after two of the past residents the Ortega family and the Vigare family. The Adobe is 1,000 feet south of the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel. A soldier of the mission built the Adobe between 1792 and 1806. The Adobe was passed down a few generations to his children. Don Jean Vigare became the owner in 1859. Soon it became San Gabriel's first bakery. Baking next to the Missions Lime orchard and a large cactus wall. After the bakery, the Adobe was returned to a private home again. Mrs. Lux Vigare, great-granddaughter of a soldier of the Mission San Gabriel Archangel lived at the Adobe the 1930s. In 1993 the Adobe was purchased, the new owner saved the Adobe demolition. The new owner restored the Adobe and installed modern convenience, with keeping the Spanish-style. The current Adobe is a 3760 square-foot home on a three-fourths of an acre. The adobe has the historic 24-inch-thick Adobe walls. The living room has high ceilings original large wood beams. The Adobe now has a cobblestone courtyard with an eighteenth century-fountain. The originally Adobe was in the traditional L-shaped, but is half the original size. Added later was a 864-square-foot guest house. In 2011 the Adobe was sold again. Marker Marker on the site reads: "NO. 451 THE ORTEGA-VIGARE ADOBE – Erected during mission days, 1792–1805, this is the second oldest adobe in this region. Originally 'L'-shaped, it is now only half its original size. In 1859, the adobe became the property of Don Jean Vigare and in the early 1860s, as San Gabriel's first bakery, it was separated from the mission's lime orchard by a high cactus wall." As of 2025, it remains a private residence. See also California Historical Landmarks in Los Angeles County List of California Ranchos Ranchos of Los Angeles County, California References
Paradise High School

Paradise High School (PHS) is a public high school in Paradise, California, United States. It is part of the Paradise Unified School District. The school's curriculum is organized into 13 subject area departments, and students can take up to six classes a day. Senior students can enroll concurrently at Butte Community College. Sports offered by the school are football, basketball, volleyball, cross country, swimming, tennis, soccer, track, golf, wrestling, baseball, softball, and cheerleading. History Fire and relocation When the Camp Fire destroyed most of the town of Paradise in November 2018, the school campus was mostly spared, losing only a half dozen temporary classrooms. The wildfire, the worst in California's history, burned down 19,000 structures and killed 85 people. The population of the town of Paradise plummeted from 26,800 to 2,034. The campus was shut down for the remainder of the 2018–2019 school year; students studied in nearby Chico, California or via online courses wherever they were staying. In June 2019, 220 seniors returned to the empty campus for their graduation ceremony on the football field. When the school reopened its doors in the fall of 2019, an enrollment of 600 was expected, but 900 showed up on the first day of school. Many of the students had lost their homes in the fire, and some were living with friends or driving long distances to attend school each day. The school made national news that same fall when its football team, less than a year after the fire, had an undefeated regular season and went to the section championship. Only three members of the varsity team were living in Paradise; the rest were commuting from locations up to 90 minutes away. But the team had vowed to make a championship run, saying they were "playing for the brothers we lost." (No Paradise High School students died in the fire.) Residents of Paradise and surrounding communities rallied behind the team. One player commented, "You look at the stands, the whole town of Paradise is here... it's really our only event right now, so it means everything." Paradise Mayor Jody Jones said, "The football team has come to represent all of us." Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke was inspired to write a book about the team and the town, Paradise Found: A High School Football Team’s Rise from the Ashes. The San Francisco 49ers invited the team and coaches to a Monday Night Football game just four days after the fire, and honored them again at another home game in October 2021. At that time, the team's record was 5-1 and they were hoping to reach the state playoffs.

Trinity Episcopal Church (Santa Barbara)

Die Trinity Episcopal Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der Episkopalkirche in Santa Barbara im gleichnamigen County im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Die Kirche ist seit 2019 eingetragen als City of Santa Barbara Historic Landmark. Geschichte Die Kirchengemeinde wurde 1867 in Santa Barbara gegründet. Die heutige Kirche ist das dritte Gotteshaus der Gemeinde. Ein erstes Kirchengebäude, das von der Gemeinde als zu nah an einer Eisenbahnstrecke gelegen empfunden wurde, wurde 1887 durch eine größere Holzkirche an anderer Stelle ersetzt. Dieses Bauwerk wurde im Dezember 1903 durch einen Brand zerstört. Schließlich wurde das heutige Kirchengebäude auf einem neuen und repräsentativer gelegenen Grundstück zwischen 1912 und 1919 nach Plänen von Philip H. Frohman, dem leitenden Architekten der Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., im Stil der englischen Perpendicular-Gotik errichtet. 1925 zerstörte ein Erdbeben in Santa Barbara Teile der Kirche. Der Wiederaufbau wurde zusammen mit dem Anbau des Pfarrhauses im Jahr 1927 abgeschlossen. Im Jahr 1998, angesichts neuer, lokaler seismischer Sicherheitsverordnungen, die mit der Schließung der Kirche drohten, sammelte die Kirchengemeinde die Mittel für ein Nachrüstungsprojekt, mit denen die Kirche auf die neuen Erdbebenstandards gebracht wurde.

Trinity Episcopal Church (Santa Barbara, California)

Trinity Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church located in Santa Barbara, California. History The church was founded in 1866 by the second protestant denomination in Santa Barbara, on a lot located on the first block of East Gutierrez Street which was donated by parishioner Dr. Samuel Brinkerhoff in the 1850s. The church had to be relocated in 1887 to the corner of East Anacapa and Anapamu Streets after the Southern Pacific Railroad laid tracks down the middle of Gutierrez Street, causing copious amounts of noise, smoke and dust. The new church, built with redwood and a 120-foot steeple, stood for the next 16 years until a fire destroyed it on December 20, 1903. In 1912, the church raised $54,000 to build a new building on the corner of State and Micheltorena Streets. Designed by Philip Hubert Frohman and Harold Martin, it was built with load-bearing stone and a steel-reinforced rubble and mortar core and was completed in 1919. In February 2019, the church became a City of Santa Barbara Historic Landmark. See also City of Santa Barbara Historic Landmarks References
Vedanta Society Of Southern California, Ramakrishna Monastery

The monastery was originally developed in 1942 during WWII by Gerald Heard, a disciple of Swami Prabhavananda of the Vedanta Society of Southern California an American branch of the Ramakrishna Order of India. Established as Trabuco College, it was originally meant to be a religious, non-sectarian, co-ed monastery, unaffiliated with any particular religious organization. Aldous Huxley, a close friend of Heard, spent 6 weeks there working on his book The Perennial Philosophy. Heard's attempt to make an unaffiliated monastery failed, and he donated the land and buildings to the Vedanta Society of Southern California for use as a monastery for men. It was consecrated on September 7, 1949, by Swami Prabhavananda, as the Ramakrishna Monastery. It is located on a 40-acre property in the rolling hills of Trabuco Canyon, California. It bears the name of the great Indian mystic, Sri Ramakrishna, founder of the Ramakrishna Order of India. References External links Ramakrishna Monastery, Trabuco Canyon
Big Bear Solar Observatory

Das Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) ist ein Sonnenobservatorium im Norden des Big Bear Lake in den Bergen des San Bernardino County im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Es beherbergt mit dem New Solar Telescope (NST), später als Goode Solar Telescope (GST) bezeichnet, eines der größten und leistungsfähigsten Solar-Teleskope. Das Observatorium wurde im Jahr 1969 von dem California Institute of Technology auf einer künstlichen Halbinsel errichtet und zählte von 1970 bis 1980 zur Verwaltungseinheit der Hale-Observatorien. Sein größtes Teleskop war vor 2009 ein 65-cm-Vakuum-Teleskop, das dann durch ein 1,6-Meter-Teleskop, das New Solar Telescope ersetzt wurde. First light-Aufnahmen des NST wurden im August 2010 veröffentlicht. Das NST verfügt über Adaptive Optik und war bis ins Jahr 2019 das größte Sonnenteleskop, dann abgelöst von dem Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope mit 4 m Apertur. Weiters werden am Big Bear Solar Observatory zwei kleinere Teleskope betrieben, unter anderem ein H-alpha-Teleskop, das „New Full Disk H-alpha Telescope“ und ein zusätzliches Instrument zur Erforschung des Erdschein.

Il Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) è un osservatorio astronomico situato nella Contea di San Bernardino, circa 100 km a est di Los Angeles, impiegato per lo studio del Sole. Si trova sulle rive del Big Bear Lake, un bacino artificiale ad un'altitudine di 2067 metri. L'osservatorio fu costruito nel 1969 dal California Institute of Technology, ma dal 1997 la sua gestione è stata trasferita al "New Jersey Institute of Technology". La sua posizione sulle sponde di un grande specchio d'acqua permette di eliminare gran parte della radiazione di calore proveniente dal terreno, che causerebbe aberrazioni delle immagini. Principali strumenti Telescopio riflettore da 65 cm, operante sotto vuoto per una maggiore stabilità delle immagini Telescopio rifrattore da 25 cm, operante sotto vuoto Telescopio "Full Disc" da 20 cm, usato per seguire il corso del Sole dall'alba al tramonto Nel gennaio 2009 è entrato in funzione un nuovo e più grande telescopio, di 1,6 metri di diametro, ospitato in una nuova cupola. L'osservatorio è aperto al pubblico per visite guidate il sabato nei mesi di luglio e agosto.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad è un ottovolante del genere mine train coaster, una delle attrazioni più conosciute dei parchi a tema Disney. Essa consiste in un imponente ottovolante stile treno di miniera ambientato nel Grand Canyon, situato nella zona tematica di Frontierland. Come attrazione, non presentando alcun giro della morte, è adatta anche ad un pubblico familiare e ha una durata di circa tre minuti e mezzo. Attualmente questa attrazione si trova in quattro parchi: Disneyland Resort (1979), Magic Kingdom (1980), Tokyo Disneyland (1987) e Disneyland Paris (1992) (in quest'ultimo parco l'attrazione ha una trama che la collega direttamente a Phantom Manor). L'attrazione non si trova ancora nel parco Disneyland di Hong Kong (Hong Kong Disneyland) ma gli operatori del parco hanno già avviato i lavori di espansione per costruire Frontierland. Trama La leggenda racconta che una forza sovrannaturale si nasconde nel cuore della montagna. Quando venne scoperto l'oro, intorno al 1850, venne fondata una compagnia mineraria, ma ben presto cominciarono ad accadere fatti inquietanti. I minatori avvertivano rumori spettrali, le frane si facevano sempre più frequenti e gli attrezzi da lavoro, misteriosamente, non funzionavano più. I treni partivano senza conducente correndo lungo tutta la miniera e intorno alla montagna! Così si sparse la voce che la miniera fosse stregata e Thunder Mesa diventò una città fantasma. Anni dopo, quando i racconti dei testimoni erano ormai diventati solo leggende, nuovi cercatori d'oro ridiedero vita alla Compagnia Mineraria e ripresero a creare esplosioni nella montagna stregata. Ben presto però, anche i nuovi arrivati ebbero modo di scoprire che alcune delle leggende narrate erano vere.
