Site work and excavation for our new science building are finally underway. This image is a composite of two series of images blended to reduce the effect of movement of men and equipment on the jobsite.
To see the project a month from now see: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/36058/ To see a pre-construction photo of the site see: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/27290 To learn more about The Land Institute see: http://www.landinstitute.org |

A tough stitch - not complete or aligned at the 360; a couple of random blendings and remnants. Stitching failed with an earlier version. Will be interesting to see the uploaded projection. For a view taken here (with a Canon SD850) two months ago see: Grand Prairie Addition ~ Salina, KS ~ Preconstruction ~ 8 Nov 09 at

Our new science building is starting to take shape. A cold (single digits) and snowy (14-16 inches) winter has slowed progress. A break in the weather is now providing a push to enclose the structure.

The real-life size of this image is 4' wide by 16' tall. These cool-season grasses show life in the middle of a cold (single digit temps) winter. The plant on the right is Intermediate Wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), a perennial. It is a close relative of the major crop Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), an annual seen on the left. These plants were taken from our root tubes in January of 2010. The wheat had been planted in September 2009; the wheatgrass transplanted from the field in June 2009 (the wheatgrass root mass would have been about the size of a soccer ball). The roots of wheatgrass contribute to soil stability year-round. The wheat has grown from a single kernel to this size over a 4 month period, in the spring some increase in root mass is expected until the plant is harvested in June or early July.
Wheatgrass itself is a potential grain crop; we are working with genetically diverse populations selecting for crop-like traits.

Near the oldest restaurant in the town - Italian - the Villa Capri of Overland Park; a sole propriator non-chain donut shop - John's Space Age Donuts; a 50's hamburger drive-in cloned from the 1940 original just off the Plaza - Winstead's; a Mexican restaurant with the feel of an open-air south-of-the-border - Tienda Casa Paloma; a short drive to a 50's - 60's discount type department store - Stein Mart on 95th. The White Haven is operated by family of the founders, is clean, friendly, affordable AND the continental breakfast includes John's donuts for only a nickel. A treat for sure! Here's hoping time holds on to this. |
