A gigantic "tree house," actually the San Francisco-based Mithun architecture firm's freestanding, steel-frame-supported Sustainability Treehouse that is often even more hidden amid the evergreens, at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, site of annual National Scout Jamboree (and sometimes international scouting retreats as well) in the sprawling wilderness near the tiny town of Glen Jean and the New River Gorge in West Virginia
A sod homestead built in 1900. Pennington County, South Dakota. Since 1900 this sod house has been standing to mark a farmer's effort to reap wealth from the Great Plains. At the time of its construction there must have been skirmish after skirmish with the cattlemen as the fence of the homesteader narrowed down the range. Then wartime prosperity, with the price of wheat booming. Then the years of intermittent drought, up to the present, and instead of wealth, a bitter battle to achieve mere subsistence on the parched earth

The campus includes campsites for as many as 45,000 campers as a time, as well as a scouting leadership center and a "high adventure" base for scouts' physical activities. The reserve, whose site was selected from among more than 80 candidate locations in 2009, was funded in part by a $50-million donation from the Bechtel Corporation, $25 million from the foundation of avid former Eagle Scout Walter Scott and his wife, Suzanne, and other contributions. The Sustainability Treehouse is used as an environmental-education center at Jamborees.

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
