Part of the University of California Natural Reserve System, the McLaughlin Natural Reserve spans historic mining sites and former ranchlands in a remote stretch of the inner Coast Range north of San Francisco. Its most striking feature is the flooded open pit left by gold mining operations that ran from the 1980s to the early 2000s, now the focus of ongoing reclamation and groundwater management. Additionally, the 267-acre Davis Creek Reservoir, originally built to support the mine, has become a vital wildlife refuge and water source in this arid landscape. Wildfire is a regular visitor here, with major burns in 2015 and 2020 reshaping the landscape. David first explored the area in the 1990s and has been documenting it in depth since 2015.

Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie (1928)

Hasui Kawase(May 18, 1883 – November 7, 1957) was a prominent Japanese painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and one of the chief printmakers in the shin-hanga ("new prints") movement.
Kawase worked almost exclusively on landscape and townscape prints based on sketches he made in Tokyo and during travels around Japan. However, his prints are not merely meishÅ (famous places) prints that are typical of earlier ukiyo-e masters such as Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Kawase's prints feature locales that are tranquil and obscure in urbanizing Japan.
In 1923 there was a great earthquake in Japan that destroyed most of his artwork.
Alphonse Legros(8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911), painter, etcher and sculptor was born in Dijon.
As he had casually picked up the art of etching by watching a comrade in Paris working at a commercial engraving, so he began the making of medals after a walk in the British Museum, studying the masterpieces of Pisanello, and a visit to the Cabinet des Médailles in Paris. Legros, considered the traditional journey to Italy a very important part of artistic training, and in order that his students should have the benefit of such study he devoted a part of his salary to augment the income available for a travelling studentship. His later works, after he resigned his professorship in 1892, were more in the free and ardent manner of his early days—imaginative landscapes, castles in Spain, and farms in Burgundy, etchings like the series of "The Triumph of Death," and the sculptured fountains for the gardens of the Duke of Portland at Welbeck Abbey.
