    Back in 1976, Christo and Jeanne-Claude worked with local communities and volunteers in Sonoma County and Marin County to complete Running Fence (24.5 miles).

    It was only installed for two weeks, before it was completely removed and landscape restored.

    This year marks the project's 50th anniversary. I was able to update my Running Fence project in QGIS with another set of source maps which represent the final route.

But illegal #Soviet #whaling in the 1960s again pushed the species toward #extinction"
