City as Text: Golden by https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne A vibrant town of the wild west en-us 2021-01-16 00:56:27 UTC 2023-07-07 05:43:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Nature as wild things jiuzouzhang https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093285414 Despite all of the efforts of human intrusion. A deer still found a place in human residence for food. Cautious as those animals may be, human presence didn't in fact change the wildness of nature.]]> 2021-01-16 01:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093285414 Nature as resources we use jiuzouzhang https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093291155 In a store of downtown Golden, all sorts of wooden crafts can be seen. An interesting example is a wooden bear with some refreshing scents holding a banner saying "love for nature". Nature itself is a resource we use, but in the same process we use those resources to depict and glorify nature.]]> 2021-01-16 01:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093291155 As Different to Different People jiuzouzhang https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093295347 Inarguably, Golden is a small town. But people living in different parts of the city enjoy different landscapes and scenery. The wealthy part of Golden, especially the area around the School of Mines, has better views of nature of all sorts of trees, flowers and mountains. While in south Golden area, the land seems to be more barren and monotonous.]]> 2021-01-16 01:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093295347 As Landscape and Ecology We Build and Manage jiuzouzhang https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093298216 Human intrusion, which has changed the ecology of the native state of Golden. Forced wild animals like squirrels to hunker down in bushes or even migrate to somewhere else. Yet upon hearing the diseases those wild lives may carry, people tend to have such a moral of demonizing them. Or, in other words, trying to eradicate more intrinsic properties of nature. Nor are these actions without their consequences, as we change the nature itself, nature is also changing us. Fading foresting and wild fires are definitely some retributions we have.

The twittering of birds flying above Clear Creek, the sunset watched at the top of Mt. Zion, the snow piled up on the trees mixed with pleasant scents... those small details never fail to attract our attention. Or more likely, they serve as an attraction in which we can banish our mind. Nature truly defines who we are and what are longing for.]]> 2021-01-16 01:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jiuzouzhang/blakcp91iy41nxne/wish/1093303766
