![]() ![]() According to Robert Begich with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, “a feature that is attractive about Hidden Lake is that for a large lake it does not get too rough, and it is deep with relatively few boating hazards.” I know this for a fact as my family spends time fishing, exploring, boating and camping out along the islands.Ī highlight of my summer is to catch a fresh “laker,” wrap it in aluminum foil, and cook it in a hot-coal campfire with butter and lemon and fry some potatoes on a skillet. ![]() The deepest portion of the lake is the first third of the lake from the boat launch to the start of the islands. The depth of the lake varies from really shallow (less than 10 feet) to its maximum depth of 148 feet. Throughout summer weekends, the boat trailer parking lot is full as visitors access the lake with canoes, kayaks, powerboats, and even a few sailboats. Now, as the largest Kenai Refuge campground with 44 camp sites, handicapped accessibility, picnic areas, and a boat launch, it receives the most camping use within the Refuge. ![]() Hidden Lake Campground received an overhaul in 1989 when the campground was paved, new camp loops were added (Ridge and Skyview) and sites were defined each with a parking space, hardened tent surface, fire grate, and picnic table. The awe inspiring beauty of the area may also provoke your curiosity about the topography and forest history of this area. Leaving technology behind helps you make an unhindered connection with nature to recharge your mind and spirit. Hidden Lake Campground, located 3.5 miles from the east entrance of Skilak Lake Road, is a favorite camping spot for locals and visitors where pleasures range from enjoying a campfire to sighting a black bear. Hidden Lake, largely unseen or “hidden” from this road, leads me to believe this may be the origin of its name. The 18.8 mile-long Skilak Lake Road was part of the original Sterling Highway built back in the late 1940s. In writing this article, I did a little digging to uncover some interesting facts about this “hidden gem” of the Kenai Peninsula. It dawned on me that in the sixteen years I’ve worked here, I hadn’t given it much thought despite the huge amount of time I spend in the campground both for work and play. ![]() Recently, I was asked how Hidden Lake Campground received its name. The main hiking trail out of the camp leads up the nearby mountain to the top before arching over and back down to the shores of the Little Tennessee River.I am often asked thought provoking questions while working in the Kenai Refuge Visitor Center. It’s a wonderful escape, though, and the time can be occupied with plenty of campfires, fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. Wi-Fi is also provided up at the main office/bathhouse/sitting area, because you likely won’t have much cell service. The entire campground is very well kept, and they actually have firewood and ice available for purchase onsite. This is also where the main office is located, along with the main location for trash. The owner, Gerry, does a great job keeping the bathrooms nice and clean, and there is a wonderful, relaxing sitting area with a grill and large sink at the top of the hill overlooking the lake. The individual campsites are varying in size, from literally almost 100 yards across to your more traditional 1-2 tent pads, and they even have some backpacking sites available well up the side of the mountain! Multiple RV hookups are hosted near the stage that can be used for live music, and the facilities sit in a central location. First of all, the campground has traditional campsites, RV hookups, and small cabins nestled into a small valley adorned with an emerald green lake. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a very personal, public artwork for the students. There's so much beautiful detail in this work you can see the artists' hand, you can notice the drips, scratches and marks that they've made. Bird Life Jungle Disco is full of life and colour, and the Studio A artists wanted the students to live, work and socialise amongst it. Stella Rosa McDonald, Curator, UTS ART: Today we're launching Bird life Jungle Disco, a large-scale wall-painting by Studio A. Studio A has partnered and collaborated with organisations, arts institutions and collections including Carriageworks, Westpac, Mud Australia, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney College of the Arts, UNSW Art & Design, Underbelly Arts Festival, Artbank and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. ![]() The only studio of its kind in NSW, Studio A is driven to ensure artists with intellectual disability have a voice in contemporary Australian culture. Studio A actively works to reduce stigma associated with people with disability and increase diversity and inclusion within the broader community. Studio A contributes to various personal outcomes for the artists, including increased self-esteem and aspirations, broader social networks and a sense of belonging, financial security and improved mental health. It is structured to operate as a social enterprise, meaning revenue derived from Studio A programs is invested back into the organisation to increase its artistic and social capacity. Studio A is a Sydney-based arts company that tackles the barriers that artists living with intellectual disability face in accessing conventional education, professional development pathways and opportunities needed to be successful and renowned visual artists. Giant parrots, owls and other native Australian birds and animals by Katrina Brennan, Emily Crockford, Annette Galstaun, Megan Pelham, Lisa Scott and Damian Showyin populate the street and jungle scenes in surprising ways, encouraging creative thinking, play and imagination. Victoria has dressed her towers in electric colours to create a cityscape that mirrors the energy and excitement of the urban campus. Inspired by the UTS Tower, Studio A artist Victoria Atkinson has painted a motif of towers that allude to the aspirations, drive and achievements of university students. ![]() The mural speaks to the character and passion of each of the Studio A artists who made it, and to the diversity and energy of the UTS community itself. Studio A birds come in all shapes, sizes and colours – the artists believe it is their diversity that empowers them. The artwork is a collaboration between seven Studio A artists and features birds and animals at play in a busy social world. Studio A tackles the barriers that these artists face in accessing conventional education and professional development and supports them to achieve their artistic and economic aspirations. Bird Life Jungle Disco was painted by artists and staff from Studio A, a supported arts studio based in Sydney that creates professional pathways for artists with intellectual disability. ![]() ![]() “Many women see it as another avenue to get their athletic kick. “With the growth of girls’ hockey and the college game, women have more opportunities to be exposed to hockey,” said Susan Welles, Women’s Hockey Director for Minnesota Hockey and a former president of WHAM. And the Minnesota Whitecaps, a professional team in the Western Women’s Hockey League, plays in arenas around the state from September to March. The University of Minnesota, which plays in Ridder Arena, the only facility built specifically for a women’s collegiate hockey program, is one of five Division I women’s hockey teams in the state. It now boasts more than 1,300 players who play in seven divisions. The Women’s Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM), the largest women’s-only adult hockey league association in the United States, has seen its membership double in the last five years. In Minnesota alone, the 200 high schools and 23 colleges that play girls’ and women’s hockey would add another 5,000 players to that total. Last year, that number reached almost 60,000 - a number that doesn’t include girls and women playing for high school and college teams, who are not required to register with USA Hockey. In 1990, when the first IIHF Women’s World Ice Hockey Championship was held, there were about 6,000 women registered as playing hockey in the United States. Today a group of women dressed in hockey gear is no longer cause for quizzical looks. While Ligman said the opposing men’s teams were good natured about their unexpected foes “once they got over the initial surprise,” her story is indicative of how far women’s hockey has come in 30 years. “We’d show up and start putting our gear on and invariably a guy from the other team would come up to us and ask, ‘What are you doing here?’” ![]() “And we called our team ‘die Mädchen,’ which is the German word for ‘the girls.’” “When we turned in our roster, we used only our first initials and last names,” said Ligman, 53, who now lives in Roseville. When Patt Ligman and several of her female friends at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls signed up to play intramural hockey at the school in 1975, they weren’t sure how they would be received - or if they’d even be allowed to play. Visit for more information, including contacts for questions. Teams play a home and away schedule beginning in late October and continuing through mid-March. The majority of teams are based in the Twin Cities Metro area, but others come from as far away as Duluth. ![]() Teams are located throughout the state of Minnesota. ![]() Details about skills assessments are available on the WHAM Web site: Where is WHAM Hockey Played? Players new to WHAM may need to attend a skills assessment to determine their appropriate skill level. Teams are classified according to their overall skill level, into one of seven different leagues, which range from Division 1 college-skilled players (A1) to truly beginning skaters (C3). The Women’s Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM) encourages girls and women of all age groups and skill levels to compete. ![]() ![]() ![]() The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which detail the implementation of the CSRD, contain a broad definition of sustainable investment. This is the thrust of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which the European Council approved in November 2022, with the EU Green Deal providing the necessary legal framework. ![]() This reflects a significant paradigm change from requiring companies solely to play “defence” to directing them towards playing “offence” in combatting climate change-related systemic risks. Instead, corporations will be incentivised to make investments into ecological conservation and improvement. What the directive means in practice is that corporations will be encouraged to take action beyond a mere duty to uncover potential ecological or social misconduct. The World Bank has found that ecosystem degradation could reduce global GDP by up to 2.3% annually as soon as 2030.įor these reasons, the implications of reflecting natural capital funding on corporate balance sheets is far from an academic or abstract matter. And we are likely to experience the effects much sooner than expected. According to the World Economic Forum, around half of global GDP is at risk due to its dependence on nature. ![]() Such ecosystem conservation funding is urgently needed, as Earth’s natural capital is eroding at an alarming pace – and with that our future prosperity. A new directive from Brussels provides a basis on which natural capital funding undertaken by corporations could ultimately be reflected as an asset on balance sheets. May 17 - This could be a year of singular importance in the history of international accounting. ![]() ![]() It’s another Topaz tool (one of it seems increasingly too many in number) with some unique and excellent features that has disappointingly not been properly tested/finished and is simply left in the ether. I notice there has been no significant update for Studio for some time so assume this product too will just fall by the wayside. After trying several different things including settings and some default “LOOKS”, none of which worked, the only solution was to simply use the original “background” image - this seems the only way to avoid the unwanted transparency issue.Īll of this is really frustrating and time consuming. The other main issue is that in Photoshop when I would create a copy of the main image to load into Studio the final Studio file would result in an image output with less than 100% opacity ie it had some transparency, which for obvious reasons is unwanted. This last issue requires undoing Studio’s render and going back in to redo the image. Also, when using it as a plugin it would sometimes (maybe 1 out of every 10 or 20 times) render a completely different image when returning to Photoshop - by which I mean it produced an image that looked like it had had all of the “LOOKS” applied to it ie looked very bad/ugly. I have tried this both by using Studio as a plugin and as a standalone both with exactly the same result. You will notice in Photoshop a much rough image with very visible as well as less visible artifacts which don’t appear at all in Studio. The main issue is that the preview in Topaz Studio shows a smooth image and a different image to what you get when returning to Photoshop (see attached screencaps). ![]() ![]() I’ve created a custom “LOOK” using the smudge, blur and impression presets for this. Hi, I’ve been using Studio and trying to get a certain effect (with images that have varying levels of noise) only to encounter numerous frustrating problems that seem to be a staple of Topaz products. ![]() ![]() Synthetic fleeces or wool are a better option than cotton. My secret is to wear different layers and if necessary thermal base layers. My advice is therefore to keep enough spare batteries warm in your pocket close to your body heat.ĭuring winter you will have to keep dry and protect yourself from the cold and the wind and wear the appropriate clothing. Even when not in use, they will still lose their charge. The battery life will probably be less than 50% than you are used to in normal conditions. You have probably already experienced that batteries lose their power faster when exposed to low temperatures. But if the wind gets too strong, the umbrella has to be closed again.Ī lens hood can help you protect your lens from the low sun but also a bit from falling snowflakes or raindrops. That is why I sometimes attach my umbrella to the straps of my backpack so that I have my hands free. You could attach an umbrella to your tripod, but this would increase the risk of shocks and blurry photos. Moreover, you have your hands full so you have to operate the camera with one hand. An umbrella is only useful when there is not too much wind. A plastic bag will work as well of course. It will keep your camera and lenses dry during the photoshoots, minimizing the chance of liquid residue getting close to the electronic parts of your camera. If you go out during rain or snowstorms, investing in a good snow or rain cover might be a good idea. It is not a problem to remove the battery and memory card before putting the camera in the bag or a towel. And once again let it in the towel for quite some time and let the towel absorb all the moisture. If your camera might get wet because of rain or snow, bring it indoors and wrap it in a dry towel. Make sure that the temperature in your car is not too high while driving from your home to your photo destination or store your camera bag in the boot of the car as far as possible from the heating. When you move from outside into the cold outside, keep the camera close to your body. It is best to leave your camera in the bag for some time to warm up before taking it out. But one should allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature slowly by keeping the camera with lens cover in a bag or cover for a while when moving into a warm area. This does not mean that you have to move in slow motion. You should try to give your camera time to acclimatise from indoors to outdoors slowly. It can even cause the LCD to malfunction. Whatever camera you will use, it is important to take care of the transition between warm and cold and vice versa to avoid condensation and mould build up over time. I use a Nikon D810 and a Nikon Z_7_II for my landscape photography. But a wide lens and a long lens are always standard in my bag. The type or brand of your camera is not that important and the number of lenses that I will take with me will depend on whether I’ll be hiking and for how long. Otherwise, it would have disappeared against a darker background. To make this picture, I had to circle the tree a few times and get low to get the tree and its branches positioned before the blue sky.

Snow and frost will instantly transform a landscape and on top of that simplify the picture and they will make any view look beautiful. Winter is such a great time for capturing some spectacular landscape images. But it would be a pity to store your camera just because summer and autumn are over. The cold and darker conditions might seduce you to stay inside close to the fireplace.

Well, if your tomato seedling won’t put off new leaves or grow, then it may not obtain the light, food, or water that it needs to develop and hence, it leads to tomato seedlings growing very slowly.
