Folks, On the other hand, it's good to look at all sides and consider the longevity, maintenance issues of the site. My next idea (#2) for consideration is: (Similar to the architects drawing) 1. Install a metal roof structure along the wall to act as shade and rain protection for the "picture / photo" area. 2. Use the wall as the Picture / Photo display area by dividing the wall in three sections showing "before", "during" and "after" using enlarged photos, with narratives below. The pictures could be replaced, as needed, showing different areas over time or just refreshed as they wear out. The museum display board could be mounted or displayed within the "during" display portion of the wall. 3. The pictures would be enclosed in cases attached to the wall, with removable plastic sliding doors that can be replaced as needed. 4. The main walkway would run along the wall from the entrance and return through the patio area, where assorted artwork, tables and benches, shade trees and native fire resistive plants for education are displayed. This idea is similar to what State and Federal Parks do in some areas. Bob R.

The artists can figure out how to portray the overall "picture settings" using gravel or sand or glass sculptures etc. I know photos won't last very long in the sun and weather. Bob R.

I am going to encourage the use of our local artist, David Ybarra, who had done historic murals and old fashion signage along Maine Avenue. He is not the type to run a big project though, but a true starving artist who could create a story on the wall.
