  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • Bikeway, Trails and Pedestrian Mobility
    THE ROLE OF TRAILS AND COMPLETE STREETS IN ACTIVE LIVING AND HEALTHY LIFE STYLES - A CASE STUDY FROM PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND Fred Shaffer Prince George’s County M-NCPPC Trails have traditionally been thought of as recreation facilities. However, there is growing recognition that trails can also serve as transportation connections and can facilitate healthier and more active lifestyles in both children and adults. Trail from student housing to the Trail from an apartment complex to the University of Maryland West Hyattsville Metro Recent plans and legislation have recognized the importance of promoting walking and biking and incorporating trails into communities and new developments. The Countywide Master Plan of Transportation recommends a countywide network of bicycle, pedestrian, and trail facilities. 2009 Approved Countywide Master Plan of Transportation (MPOT) – included extensive bicycle and pedestrian recommendations: Over 250 projects for trails, bikeways, and sidewalk construction Complete Streets Section and Policies Trail projects that improve access to parks, transit, and other destinations Sidewalk and trail construction through the development review process Identification of Priority Sidewalk Corridors (retrofit projects) The plan recommends a variety of facilities along roads and within open space that can connect to and complement park facilities and trails. These recommended facilities are within dedicated parkland, along utility and transit corridors, along road rights-of-way, and within future development. COMPLETE STREETS – IMPROVE ACCESS TO TRAILS AND ACCOMMODATE ALL MODES No matter how many trails you have, it is still crucial to have sidewalks and bikeways along roads to get people to all the destinations they need to go.

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.
