Monterey Museum of Art

Das Monterey Museum of Art ist ein Kunstmuseum in Monterey, Kalifornien. Es widmet sich der Präsentation und Erforschung kalifornischer Kunst von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Gegenwart. Das Museum unterhält zwei Standorte in Monterey: 559 Pacific Street und 720 Via Mirada. Der Hauptstandort Pacific Street liegt in der historischen Altstadt von Monterey in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Colton Hall und anderen historischen Stätten der Stadt. Er beherbergt die Hauptgalerien des Museums. La Mirada ist ein historisches Anwesen mit Gartenanlagen und einem Ausstellungsflügel. Es stammt aus der mexikanischen Phase Montereys. Das Gebäude wurde im Laufe der Zeit mehrfach umgestaltet und wird heute für spezielle Ausstellungen, Bildungsprogramme und als Veranstaltungsort genutzt. La Mirada ist in der Regel nicht täglich für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich, sondern nur im Rahmen ausgewählter Programme und Veranstaltungen. Geschichte Das Monterey Museum of Art wurde 1959 aus lokalen Initiativen zur Förderung der Bildenden Kunst auf der Monterey-Halbinsel gegründet. Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte baute die Institution eine permanente Sammlung auf, veranstaltet wechselnde Ausstellungen und publiziert Ausstellungskataloge und Jahresberichte. 1983 erwarb das Museum das historische Anwesen La Mirada, das seitdem als Veranstaltungs- und Ausstellungsort genutzt wird. Das Museum zeigt regelmäßig Sonderausstellungen sowie community-orientierte Programme wie „Block Party“ und saisonale Veranstaltungen. Sammlung Die permanente Sammlung des Monterey Museum of Art umfasst über 14.000 Objekte und konzentriert sich auf kalifornische Malerei, Fotografie und zeitgenössische Kunst von etwa 1875 bis zur Gegenwart. Die Sammlung umfasst die drei Bereiche frühe kalifornische Malerei (ca. 1875–1945), Fotografie und zeitgenössische Kunst (ab 1945). Sie wird durch ein Online-Portal dokumentiert und durch regelmäßige, wechselnde Präsentationen aus dem Depot der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Das Monterey Museum of Art legt besonderen Wert auf Werke, die das künstlerische Erbe Nord- und Zentralkaliforniens widerspiegeln, einschließlich Arbeiten, die mit der Künstlerkolonie von Monterey und Carmel in Verbindung stehen, sowie auf kalifornische Fotografie. Das Museum publiziert Ausstellungskataloge, Jahresberichte und Mitgliedermagazine. Werke (Auswahl) Weblinks Offizielle Website des Monterey Museum of Art See Monterey Einzelnachweise

It specializes in the rehabilitation and release of local Alpine species and also has a permanent collection of animals in the zoo (most of which can not be released). The zoo is located across the street from Bear Mountain Ski Resort. History The Big Bear Alpine Zoo has been saving alpine wildlife since 1959.

The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is a rehabilitation facility offering injured, orphaned and imprinted wild animals a safe haven; temporarily while they heal or permanently as they are unable to survive on their own. 90% of all animals brought to the zoo for rehabilitation are successfully released back onto their native environment. Those that remain on exhibit are either too injured or have been imprinted by humans and cannot be released back into the wild to care for themselves. The "Friends of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo" was formed in 1989 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) public-benefit corporation whose purpose is to support the Big Bear Alpine Zoo through: (1) Educating the public regarding treatment, protection, and conservation of wildlife; (2) Recruiting and coordinating park volunteers; and (3) Fundraising. The zoo began construction of a new location in 2016, and opened to the public November 5, 2020. The address is 747 Clubview Drive., Big Bear Lake. Animals The Big Bear Alpine Zoo provides wildlife rehabilitation and release. Those animals that cannot be released are given a home for life in the zoo. The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is the only zoological facility located in an alpine forest specializing in alpine species. zoo residents include grizzly bears, black bears, cougars, wolves, and eagles, to name a few of the 160 animals representing 80 species.

Warmington Company donated 112 acres for the construction of a college in Moreno Valley, later expanded by the purchase of an additional 20 acres in 1989. Construction of the Moreno Valley campus, alongside the Norco College campus, began that same year. In 1991, the Moreno Valley campus officially opened when the first four buildings were completed: the Library, the Student Services Building, the Science and Technology Building, and the student center. MVC received initial accreditation in 2010 from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. That same year, the California Community Colleges System's Board of Governors officially recognized MVC as the 111th Community College in the state of California.

Moreno Valley Mall

The Moreno Valley Mall at Towngate is a shopping mall located on the former site of the Riverside International Raceway in Moreno Valley, California. Developed by Homart Development Company, the initial anchor stores in 1992 were Sears, J. C. Penney, May Company California, and Harris Department Stores and had 140 specialty stores. In the early years competition for tenants divided prospects between competing developers. In September 1996 the City confirmed that lower than anticipated revenues would result in a shortfall estimated to extend the payback period of the $13 million infrastructure loan to an estimated 2026 with the loan peaking at $19.5 million. Also, the mall was then valued at $66 million, far less than its original valuation of $107 million. Moreno Valley Mall directly contracts with the local Police Service as well as private security firm for security services. In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Moreno Valley Mall, into Seritage Growth Properties.

Talsperre Morris

Die Talsperre Morris (englisch Morris Dam) liegt in den San Gabriel Mountains im Los Angeles County, USA. Sie staut den San Gabriel River. Ungefähr 4 km flussaufwärts befindet sich die Talsperre San Gabriel. Die Stadt San Dimas liegt ungefähr drei Kilometer südlich. Die Talsperre wird vom Los Angeles County Department of Public Works betrieben. Sie dient heute hauptsächlich dem Gewässerschutz. Geschichte Die Talsperre wurde von 1932 bis 1934 durch die Stadt Pasadena zur Trinkwasserversorgung errichtet. Sie wurde am 26. Mai 1934 durch den früheren Präsidenten Hoover eingeweiht. Die Talsperre wurde später an den Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) verkauft, der die Talsperre 1995 an den Los Angeles County Flood Control District weitergab. Sie ist nach Samuel B. Morris benannt, dem damaligen leitenden Ingenieur des Water Department in Pasadena. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk ist eine Gewichtsstaumauer aus Beton mit einer Höhe von 74,6 m (245 feet) über dem ursprünglichen Flussbett. Das Volumen des Bauwerks beträgt 393.000 m³ (514.000 cubic yards). Die Hochwasserentlastung befindet sich auf der rechten Flussseite. Stausee Bei Vollstau fasst der Stausee 39,8 Mio. m³ (52,1 Mio. cubic yards) Wasser. Die Sedimentablagerungen im Stauseebecken wurden bereits mehrmals durch Ausbaggern entfernt. Der Stausee diente von 1943 bis 1993 als Testgebiet der US Navy, die dort Versuche mit Torpedos unternahm.

Morro Strand State Beach

Morro Strand State Beach (formerly Atascadero State Beach) is a protected beach within California's state park system located in north Morro Bay along California State Route 1. Morro Strand is a popular coastal frontage park on Estero Bay featuring the Morro Strand Trail and picnic sites. A three-mile stretch of beach connects the southern and northern entrances to the beach. Dogs are prohibited in part due to the nesting and protection of the Western Snowy Plover. Fishing, surfing, beach walking, and jogging are popular activities. Proposed for closure Morro Strands State Beach was one of the 48 California state parks proposed for closure in January 2008 by California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as part of a deficit reduction program. Marine Protected Areas Morro Bay State Marine Recreational Management Area and Morro Bay State Marine Reserve are marine protected areas within Morro Bay. Like underwater parks, these marine protected areas help conserve ocean wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Moss Landing State Beach

Moss Landing State Beach is a state park on Monterey Bay, in Monterey County, California. Description The beach and park is about 16 miles (30 km) north of the city of Monterey via Highway 1, about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Watsonville. Among the most popular activities are offshore fishing, surfing, windsurfing and horseback riding. However, the strong rip currents make the water recreation (swimming, wading, etc.) dangerous. Moss Landing State Beach is also popular for picnicking because the dunes block out strong afternoon winds from blowing into the picnic area. Wildlife Moss Landing State Beach has several bird-watching spots, but the type and number of birds can vary by season. Moss Landing Wildlife Area, with access to the east of Highway 1, has ponds that are controlled by tidal gates. They are a major roost for brown pelicans and also beneficial for shorebirds. Sea ducks, loons, grebes and gulls can also be easily spotted. Occasionally, there are special visitors such as Long-tailed Duck and Red-necked Grebe. Endangered species, the California Sea Otter, can be observed in the harbor channel with sometimes dozens in a raft. References
