Few battles in history have been more scrutinized than Gettysburg’s three blood-soaked days in July 1863, the turning point in the Civil War. Still, there were questions that all the diaries, official reports and correspondence couldn’t answer precisely. What, for example, could Gen. Robert E. Lee actually see when he issued a series of fateful orders that turned the tide against the Confederate...

humanscalecities: With “Carmageddon” looming in Los Angeles, I decided to take my “LA with no cars” video and re-edit it with new music, coloring and opening shots. Editing was done in Final Cut, coloring done with After Effects and shot on a Canon 60D.

Beautiful, especially around 2:53. →
An almost painterly sensibility suffuses the String Quartet No. 5 from 1991, which is so rich in color. Through their exemplary intellectual consideration, richly varied tone and gorgeous use of color and texture, Brooklyn Rider revealed to me far more within Glass’ music than I had ever heard before — and I can’t think of better praise for such a project.

I just got back from a presentation on natural channel design and a tour of the Mission Reach Project given by San Antonio River Authority staff.
