Bipole III Transmission Line with Erickson Inc. | Manitoba, Canada
As Bubba arrived from Red Deer, Alberta, the Bipole III high voltage direct current transmission project was underway just South of Thompson, Manitoba that will deliver renewable energy to the Winnipeg region and the United States, helping reduce fossil fuels and to be completed in 2018.
Temperatures were forecast in the coming weeks to drop to -30C nearly stopping job operations. With 80 mph hurricane force winds of the S-64F Air-Crane, the wind chill of the rotor wash dropped temperatures to the -50C directly towards the load masters and rigging crew. In temperatures like these, winter covers were installed each night to allow for the Wacker Neuson Indirect Fire HI 400 Heaters to warm the main gear box oil and fuel control units of the Pratt & Whitney JFTD12-5A engines each morning. Preparing the aircraft for preflight took nearly an hour. Nothing seemed to want to cooperate, but the crew & Bubba took it strong and flew nearly 100 hours in the month of December and January to finish the first section of the powerline project.
Temperatures were low enough to cause contrails to grow and thicken about ¼ to ½ mile wide with each pick according to our pilot, Brad Warren. “We made our own threatening weather!” “So every pick the cloud would build to the point where it became a problem for visibility. We would try flying higher so the next time we could fly under the clouds we formed.”
Apart from helicopters, you can visit the Wolf Mural in Thompson, Manitoba on Highland tower. It is the largest photo-real mural in Canada. It rests on a 10 story apartment block, Highland tower. This building is visible from downtown and can be seen from 1 mile away. This fine piece of art was painted by Charles Johnston in 2005. The original “Wolf Sketch” art was created in 1990 by Robert Bateman. “I can’t conceive of anything being more varied, rich and handsome than planet Earth; its crowning beauty is the natural world. I want to soak it up, to understand it…then put it together and express it in my painting. This is the way I want to dedicate my life.”
The mural is 64 ft wide by 86 ft high, the Wolf Mural cost $125,000 to be set up by the Manitoba Hydro and Shelter Canadian Properties. The mural only sees the sun a few hours on summer mornings which will extend its life expectancy to over 20 years.
Bateman’s message for “Wolf Sketch” is one of “eye to eye with respect”. He states, “Wolves – gregarious family animals – do not often stare directly at man, or at each other for that matter. They are creatures of complex, almost chivalrous behaviour, and perhaps they feel that eye to eye staring would be rude and almost confrontational. They do indeed make direct eye contact if they intend to confront. Perhaps this is why we find the direct gaze of a wolf so compelling. This drawing was executed on very rough paper because I wanted to give a felling of the rough power of a wild wolf.”

This past summer, fifty of BCs most celebrated artists took a journey up the coast, into the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. Five-hundred kilometres north of Vancouver is a wild coastline: home to the Spirit Bear and whales, wolf packs and grizzlies, First Nations and coastal communities. With the looming threat of a proposed oil pipeline and hundreds of oil tankers a year, it is a magical place on edge.
This interview with Robert Bateman is additional footage from the trip and the film, REFLECTIONS: ART FOR AN OIL FREE COAST, which shares the story of a Raincoast Conservation Foundation expedition into a stunning and remote landscape, weaving together the artists' work and their emotional response to a people and a region at risk.
Thomas Downing 托馬斯唐寧 (1928–1985) Color Field American
Thomas Downing (1928–1985) was an American painter, associated with the Washington Color Field Movement
Thomas Downing was born in Suffolk, Virginia. He studied at Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, Virginia, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1948. He then studied at the Pratt Institute, a well-known art school in Brooklyn, New York, until 1950. That year he received a grant from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, enabling him to travel to Europe, where he studied briefly at the Académie Julian in Paris.
In 1951 he returned to the United States, and after serving in the U.S. Army, settled in Washington, D.C., where he began to teach, in 1953. The following summer, he enrolled in a summer institute at Catholic University, studying under Kenneth Noland. He became a friend of Noland, who became a significant influence on Downing's art and who was one of the founders of the Washington Color Field Movement.
In the late 1950s, Downing shared a studio with Howard Mehring, another artist of the Washington Color School and Color Field painting. In 1964 Clement Greenberg included Noland, Mehring, Downing and others in his traveling museum exhibition called Post-painterly Abstraction.
From 1965 to 1968, Downing taught at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C. There he taught several people who in their turn became artists influenced by Downing's ideas, including Sam Gilliam.
His paintings to a large extent consisted of circles arranged in precise patterns on the canvas, with colors often chosen according to ideas of symmetry. Downing's Spot Paintings are his best known works.
In the last ten years of his life, Downing lived in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He died in October 1985 in Provincetown, Massachusetts at the age of 57. In its obituary the Washington Times characterized his death as mysterious. The newspaper was referring to the then recent demise of Washington Color Field artist Gene Davis (1920–1985) and to the earlier death of Howard Mehring (1931–1978), as well.

Raptors, Spurs can both claim trade victory
The early returns are in, and we now have a winner from the summer blockbuster trade between San Antonio and Toronto.
Both sides look victorious.
Sometimes, trades really can benefit all parties involved — and this already looks to be one of those. Kawhi Leonard looks healthy again and has been fantastic in his first three games with the unbeaten Raptors (4-0), averaging 25.7 points and 9 rebounds per game. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 29.3 points and 9 assists for the Spurs, with a career-high 14 of those assists coming in Monday’s (Tuesday, PHL time) overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Remember all those questions over the summer? Will Leonard like Toronto? Will DeRozan embrace the Spurs?
Asked and answered — so far.
There’s still virtually an entire season left to play, but neither Leonard nor DeRozan is showing any sign of unhappiness right now. And that’s why both teams — for now, at least — can say the trade was a very good idea.
The bigger risk was taken by Toronto, who gave up an All-Star in DeRozan for a former (and now probably current) MVP candidate in Leonard who missed almost the entirety of last season with a leg injury that turned into one of the NBA’s top mysteries of 2017-18. Leonard got a game off for maintenance last week, and his Spurs and Raptors teammate Danny Green — part of the trade as well — says he’s still going to get better.
“He’s still not back to where he normally is, but he’s getting glimpses of it,” Green said. “He’s starting to get back to himself, get into his rhythm. And you know, he usually doesn’t miss many shots.”
Green said it might not be until December that Leonard is back to his old form.
That must be a terrifying sentiment to opponents. Leonard is shooting 46 percent, or only about 3.5 percent down from what he did during his tenure in San Antonio.
DeRozan is shooting 44 percent, basically right in line with his numbers from Toronto. Granted, again, it’s early, but his scoring numbers are way up so far — and so are his assists, which is particularly vital to the Spurs since they lost two point guards before the season started with injuries. Dejounte Murray will not play this season because of a torn ACL, and Derrick White has heel pain that still has him sidelined.
So DeRozan is taking up the slack.
“He’s a competitor,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
This could have gone bad for both clubs. If Leonard wasn’t healthy or wasn’t back to at least close to his former self, Masai Ujiri would be hearing it in Toronto. If DeRozan hadn’t snapped out of his post-trade funk — he acknowledged that he wasn’t happy how things went down, though never badmouthed the Spurs organization — then San Antonio would have been in a very unfamiliar place.
Thing is, this deal was destined to work from a personality sense.
The Spurs love guys who talk on the floor and say very little off the court — Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, David Robinson, Tony Parker, LaMarcus Aldridge, Popovich, even Leonard. DeRozan didn
