  • 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.

  • Staff Report PA 2017-CW-4CP
    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK STAFF REPORT FOR PLAN AMENDMENT PA 2017-CW-4CP BACKGROUND On July 9, 2013, through the approval of the 2013 Comprehensive Plan Work Program, the Board of Supervisors authorized annual consideration, if needed, of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to update information pertaining to Heritage Resources in the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will primarily incorporate current information relating to historic properties in Fairfax County. Heritage Resources information in the Comprehensive Plan was last updated in September 2016 to reflect updates through 2015. Since that time, two properties have been added to the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites (Inventory), the historic status of two properties has been revised, and seventeen have been removed. The Inventory is maintained by the History Commission. ANALYSIS The revisions include additions and removals to the Inventory of Historic Sites to reflect History Commission actions, editorial revisions to language which describes Historic Overlay Districts, and updates to references to county departments. The two new sites added to the Inventory are: 1) Hannah P. Clark/Enyedi House (c. 1876), a vernacular farm house in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District, Lower Potomac Planning District, added to the Inventory by the History Commission in October 2017; and 2) the Fort Belvoir Military Railroad Historic Corridor (1810-1993), also in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District, Lower Potomac and Springfield Planning Districts, added to the Virginia Landmarks Register, and therefore added also to the Inventory, in June 2016. Seventeen sites listed in the Inventory of Historic Sites are currently noted in the Plan tables with an asterisk to show the resource as demolished.
