Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Arizona. Meie mõistes botaanikaaed. Teisel pildil too punase katusega maja, kaljul - see oli kunagi kolonel Thompsoni enda eluase. Uhke väljavaade, kindlapeale.
Siin on veel hulk pilte, enamasti taimed puha. Warning! Mitte-huvilistele pole see album ilmselt huvitav. Sisaldab ka tavapärasest rohkem fotosid, ei raatsinud korraliku kraamimist teha.
/.../ William Boyce Thompson was a self-made millionaire, many times over, who amassed a fortune investing in the stock market and developing copper mines in Arizona. He founded Boyce Thompson Arboretum to raise awareness of desert plants, Sonoran desert ecology, and the importance of arid lands all across the globe. Boyce Thompson Arboretum was incorporated in 1926 and opened to the public in 1929. It is the oldest and largest Arboretum in the Southwest and the oldest non-profit corporation in Arizona. Visitors can explore more than three miles of paths and trails through 100 acres of natural areas, Gardens and Exhibits including collections from Australia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North, and South America./..../
