The Visiting Artists Series at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington, DC, is proud to present an artist talk featuring Cynthia Daignault on April 11, 2024. Daignault's work delves into the themes of monumentality, memory, and the evolving relationship with the natural world, offering a contemporary take on history painting. Through her exploration of landscapes as witnesses and the act of seeing, she draws connections between the environment and American societal dichotomies, reflecting on historical traumas. A Stanford University alumna, Daignault has showcased her solo exhibitions at prestigious institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Her creations are housed in public collections including the Dallas Museum of Art and the Baltimore Museum of Art. As a published author and editor, Daignault's notable work "Light Atlas" received widespread acclaim in 2019. In 2024, she will unveil a new monumental commission at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.

This is a paradise for aviation fans. You can find all the planes you want to see here. From planes from World War I to the latest planes, there is really everything. In addition to aviation planes, there are also aerospace planes. The key is that there are some related to China.

Mount Rainier National Park

Natural scenery

M14***73

This one-day Mount Rainier Escape (crossed out) hike is packed with surprises and is highly recommended for those with moderate fitness, a bit of ambition, and a bit of courage!

🚗Itinerary Overview:
&bull; Depart at 8:00 AM for a scenic hike that combines both sightseeing and survival training.
&bull; Arrive at Paradise Visitor Center at 10:30 AM.
&bull; Hike the Skyline Trail Loop (approximately 6 miles/9.6 kilometers) from 11:00 AM to 2:40 PM. The goal is to reach Panorama Point, the highest point. Descend via the Golden Gate Trail, taking a shortcut to savor every moment of the scenery.
&bull; From 2:40 PM to 4:15 PM, check out Myrtle Falls (a magical waterfall) and Reflection Lakes (perfect for stunning photos).
&bull; Depart the National Park at 4:20 PM and head straight to Seattle Airport.

❄️ Snowshoeing Keyword:
No equipment, snowy ground, scorching sun, snowmelt, creeks, gravel, three slips, using hands and feet, and surrounded by squirrels.

First half: The uphill section was a mixed bag, with steps deep and shallow, treading through snow, wading through icy water, and scrambling over gravel. It felt like a game of &quot;Man vs. Wild.&quot; Panorama Point: The scenery is simply breathtaking, with a vast expanse of snow-capped mountains filling my eyes. It feels like Rivendell from &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot;!

Golden Gate Trail: The downhill section is relatively easy, but still features a lot of gravel.

Squirrels: They appear incredibly frequently.

🧤Gear Recommendations:
Although I&#39;m a living example of &quot;going up the mountain with nothing,&quot; don&#39;t follow my lead:
&bull; Non-slip hiking boots: A must! Otherwise, experience &quot;Ballet on Ice&quot;!
&bull; Trekking Poles: Optional, especially for easier descents.
&bull; Sunscreen and sunglasses: The sun can be scorching hot on the mountain, so don&#39;t underestimate the glare from the snow.
&bull; Lunch with rations and water: Eat some rations at Panorama Point.

📸Recommended photo spots:
&bull; Entrance to Paradise Visitor Center: Snow-capped mountains in the background, plus tourist equipment.
&bull; Snowshoeing along the middle of the Skyline Trail: A cool photo op.
&bull; Panorama Point overlook: Perfect for photos with your phone.
&bull; The small bridge in front of Myrtle Falls: A perfect Instagram-worthy experience.
&bull; Backlit Reflection Lakes: Perfect for stunning silhouettes.

Random thoughts: The most amazing thing isn&#39;t the scenery, but the &quot;foreign-style extreme romance&quot; of the mountains&mdash;climbing the snowy mountains in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, chatting on the cliffside, and skiing downhill using their butts as sleds. Standing there, I wanted to applaud them. The most soothing moment was soaking my feet by the lake. My feet were numb, but my heart was at peace.

If you want to experience four seasons in one day and accomplish the feats of &quot;seeing snow-capped mountains, climbing them, wading through snowy streams, soaking in snowy water, and encountering squirrels,&quot; then visit Mount Rainier.
