Altitude

Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can also determine altitude by trilateration with four or more satellites.

 

NN as abbreviation for Normalnull, a metric German height reference system preceding Normalhöhennull (NHN)

"Meter über Normal-Null" (“meters above standard zero”).

 

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6he_%C3%BCber_dem_Meeresspiegel

 

In Deutschland ist DHHN92 derzeit das offiziell gültige Höhensystem.

Doch die Angabe

NN als ist beliebt:

 

Ein weiterer Grund für die Weiterverwendung von Höhenangaben bezogen auf Normalnull ist die einfachere Vergleichbarkeit mit historischen Angaben.

 

PS

In der Mühlstrasse Tubingen vorzufinden:

Höhe über Normalnull (Höhen über NN im alten System)

Höhe: 341 m ü. NHN

So alt wie das Vermessungswesen, so alt ist auch der Wunsch die gemessenen Ergebnisse in Zahlen und Karten darzustellen. Leider wurde die Vermessung in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten auf Grund von politischen Verhältnissen oft nur kleinräumig und inhomogen betrieben. Die Folge waren unzählige, unterschiedliche Bezugs- und Koordinatensysteme, die einen Vergleich von Messungen über Grenzen hinweg sehr erschwerte. Doch auch in der heutigen Zeit, und dem Wandel des Vermessungswesens hin zum Einsatz von satellitengestützten Messverfahren, ist diese Problematik aktueller denn je.

It was a really wonderful day at the end of September but very cold and frosty on top of the mountains.

 

Mount Evans is a 14,265 feet (4,348 m) mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m)) in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak — another Front Range fourteener within a short distance of a major city — which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft (50 m).

 

The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt. Mount Evans can be seen from over 100 miles away to the east, and many miles in other directions. Mount Evans dominates the Denver Metropolitan Area skyline, rising over 9,000 feet above the area. Mount Evans can be seen from points south of Castle Rock, up to (65 miles (105 km) south) and as far north as Fort Collins (95 miles (153 km) north), and from areas near Limon (105 miles (169 km) east). In the early days of Colorado tourism, Mount Evans and Denver were often in competition with Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs.

 

Summit Lake is a tarn which sits at 12,836 feet (3,912 m) altitude in a glacial cirque on the north face of Mount Evans and the east face of Mount Spalding. To the north, there is a col (12,855 feet/3918 m altitude) looking down into the chain of two cirques holding the Chicago Lakes at the headwaters of Chicago Creek. By one count that includes several unnamed lakes, Summit Lake is the 13th highest lake in the United States. In 1915, the USGS reported that Summit Lake was the highest lake in Colorado, at 12,740 feet. Later secondary sources occasionally report it as the highest lake in the United States.

The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in April, 1965. (Wikipedia)

Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.

 

Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.

 

Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.

 

The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.

The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.

 

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.

 

The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.

 

The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.

 

The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.

 

The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.

 

Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

 

It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.

 

Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

On our walk through the Roxborough State Park, Colorado, United States.

 

The state park is known for dramatic red sandstone formations. Located in Douglas County 25 miles (40 km) south of Denver, Colorado, the 3,339-acre (13.51 km2) park was established in 1975. In 1980 it was recognized as a National Natural Landmark because of the number of ecological systems and geological formations. It is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District because of the number of archaeological sites.

Roxborough State Park is a designated Colorado Natural Area and National Natural Landmark for its 300 million year old red sandstone Fountain Formation that tilt at a 60 degree angle. The park includes great examples of exposed Precambrian to Late Mesozoic hogback, monolithic and spire formations from the Permian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Carpenter Peak's exposed granite is from Precambrian era.

The park consists of forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, prairie land, and woodlands that support many forms of wildlife. There are 145 bird, over 50 butterfly and moth, and 11 amphibian and reptile species. Mammals commonly found in the park include black bear, coyote, deer, elk, fox, mountain lion, prairie dog, and rabbit. Sources of water include Little Willow Creek, Willow Creek and Mill Gulch. Elevations range from 5,900 to 7,280 feet (1,800 to 2,220 m).

There are six hiking trails in Roxborough State Park, a network of easy to moderate trails that also connect to Douglas County trail system, Pike National Forest and Waterton Canyon trails. (Wikipedia)

A Câmara Municipal de Malmo encontra-se mencionado pela primeira vez no ano de 1353 . Esta estava diretamente a norte de St. Petri uma igreja belíssima bem juntinho da atual Câmara , entre o cemitério e a Adelsgatan, que era a mais velha praça da cidade. Em conjunto com a Reforma na Dinamarca o poderoso prefeito Jörgen Kock mandou construir no seu solo a atual Grande Praça, uma obra iniciada em 1538 que se tornaria na maior praça dos países nórdicos. Malmo foi nesta altura uma das maiores e mais belas cidades da Escandinávia, um forte motivo para que o seu povo construí-se uma nova sala de visitas que se transformasse no orgulho desta bela cidade.

Na década de 1530 começaria então a construção de uma nova Câmara municipal no canto nordeste da antiga praça. Este edifício pode ser visto como a maior expressão arquitetónica da ambição e ousadia dos políticos e dos burgueses de Malmo durante o Renascimento. Em 1546, o edifício que foi construído na sua totalidade em tijolo, com janelas panorâmicas de estilo gótico ficaria pronto para ser usado.

A Câmara Municipal, que é a maior prefeitura erguida durante a Idade Média, é um edifício de dois andares, com uma cave que ainda mantém o seu estilo de 1500, enquanto o andar de cima recebeu em 1800 uns arcos magníficos e muito finos em estuque . Este grande salão no segundo andar evoca as salas de espelhos no palácio Francês de Versailles , e é o lugar escolhido para as grandes celebrações. No mesmo piso há também o Salão Municipal das reuniões do Conselho, assim como um salão de beleza exclusivamente destinado apenas à realeza, embaixadores e outras personalidades de destaque.

As seções mais bem preservadas da prefeitura são as partes mais antigas, que consistem em contrafortes que hoje abrigam um grande restaurante. A Câmara Municipal, desde então, tem sido objeto de inúmeras alterações, mas a sua estrutura na praça principal é praticamente a mesma que nasceu durante os dias do Renascimento.

No decorrer dos séculos XVIII e XIX o edifício foi ampliado para oriente, tendo também a fachada voltada para Stortorget sido alterada. Na década de 1860, quando os novos regulamentos municipais introduziram na Suécia a industrialização, o edifício foi drasticamente redesenhado de acordo com os planos do arquiteto Helgo Zettervall. A fachada foi transformada no atual estilo renascentista Holandês. A Câmara Municipal também recebeu um interior ricamente decorado que se encontra em grande parte preservada. Um edifício que merece uma visita não só pela sua beleza arquitetónica mas também pelos inúmeros tesouros que abriga…

Apesar de ter retornado ontem a tarde para ir com alguns amigos que desejavam tambem conhecer esse "Paraiso" ainda pouco conhecido da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, vou encerrar por enquanto a serie de fotos que fiz na ultima sexta feira na trilha que leva a Pedra da Tartaruga e as cinco praias quase selvagens da costa de nossa cidade.

 

Esta foto foi tirada na subida da trilha que leva a cabeça da tartaruga, podemos ver no primeiro plano a Praia do Perigoso, tirando a Praia de Buzios que é toda de pedras, a Praia do Perigoso é a que tem o mais facil, por isto podemos ver que o calor e o feriado prolongado levou essa "multidão" pelos padrões locais. A Praia do Meio que publiquei na serie duas fotos, a Praia Funda e a pequenissima Praia do Inferno que não é possivel ser vista do Alto da Pedra da Tartaruga são mais vazias pela difuldade maior nas trilhas que levam ate ela

 

Na sequencia que tem as fotos abertas, vemos a Praia do Perigoso que aparece no primeiro plano e duas fotos da Praia do Meio que tambem esta assinalada na foto principal

Para subir neste local é necessario apenas um pouco de disposição e boa vontade de subir por cerca de 30 minutos numa trilha bem marcada e facil que se inicia dentro do Parque da Prainha e termina neste belo local onde podemos ver todo o Recreio dos Bandeirantes e Barra da Tijuca e a parte do Gigante Adormecido que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro Formam.

 

Gigante Adormecido

 

Apesar de já retratado desde da época do Brasil Colônia, inclusive por Debret em 1816 (gravura na sequencia), poucas pessoas sabem que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro formam um Gigante com cerca de 18 Km de extensão . A Pedra da Gavea seria a Cabeça, o Corcovado a Virilha, inclusive ha ate alguma piadas a respeito disto e o Pão de Açucar seria os Pés.

 

Pelo lado da Barra da Tijuca que seria o lado da Foto Principal, não é possivel ve-lo por completo, apenas nas proximidades da Ilha Rasa que se pode ter uma visão perfeita da formação rochosa.

 

Em 1969, Roberto Carlos estreou em 1969 e trazia uma das Lendas sobre o Gigante Adormecido, podemos ver a imagem do Gigante por completo clicando neste Video AQUI

Estas fotos de la serie pertenecen a tres lugares de Caminha, un bonito pueblo portugués en la desembocadura del río Miño.

 

La Mata Nacional de Camarido, el mayor pinar atlántico portugués, al norte del río Duero.

Fué mandado plantar por el Rey Don Dinís en el siglo XIV, al borde mismo de la playa.

Basicamente es de pino bravo y ha sido repoblado en el año 2011 con 18.000 nuevos árboles tales como pino manso, roble, alcornoque, fresno, sauce.......para rejuvenecer y diversificar un bosque tan antiguo.

Es un LIC (Lugar de Interés Comunitario)

  

La Praia de Moledo, unida a la Praia de Camarido o Praia da Foz do Minho, un arenal con bandera azul comunitaria muy expuesto a vientos y oleajes atlánticos, de una enorme belleza salvaje.....estupenda para practicar surf y windsurf.

  

La Capela de Santo Antão en el monte que domina Caminha, estribaciones de la Serra de Arga, con un mirador increible sobre toda la desembocadura del Río Miño.

Resaltar que este monte ha ardido completamente este verano, da mucha tristeza verlo asi........

I don't blame him for throwing himself on the ground face first, I do the same thing when I hear the words, "You want to go for a walk?". My version of a walk is tripping on a shoe lace and rolling down a hilly street then wait for someone to come pick me up.

 

and yes, he has Made In China tattooed on his butt, you have something to say about it???

 

View while yelling No NO NO, you can't make me.

The gate was built between 1380 and 1425 as part of the second city wall. The whole wall was completed around 1450. The gate was attacked in 1427 during the siege of the city. This attack was repelled.

The gate was opened and closed every day by the appointed raddraaiers, "wheel-turners". A minimum of twelve wheel-turners were collected morning and evening by several guards. It was an extremely dangerous task; if they did not begin walking simultaneously, then one could fall, dragging the rest along with often fatal results. Before the gate could come down, it had to be raised, to pull out the iron pins that held it in place. Only then could it come down. While the gate was going down, walking in the wheel grew ever easier and faster, and many people stumbled and broke their limbs. The koppelpoort was also never breached.

  

The Koppelpoort was given its current appearance during the restoration by Pierre Cuypers in 1885 and 1886. Among other things, Cuypers removed a step between the two gates and replaced it with a slope.

From 1969 to 1993 a puppet theater was situated in the gate.

The latest restoration was completed in 1996. It was carried out very cautiously, and with respect for the old building materials. For this the town of Amersfoort received the Europa Nostra Award.

  

De Koppelpoort, onderdeel van de tweede stadsmuur (1380-1451), kwam gereed in 1427. Het is een gecombineerde land- en waterpoort, waar het water vanuit de stad in de Eem stroomt.

 

De Koppelpoort werd tijdens de belegering van 1427 voor het eerst aangevallen. Amersfoortse vrouwen wierpen kokend bier vanaf de muren naar beneden en de aanval werd afgeslagen. Voor de hoofdpoort lag tussen 1645 en 1778 een voorpoort, die mogelijk het ontwerp was van de Amersfoortse bouwmeester Jacob van Campen. Aan de binnenzijde van de poort zetelde in ruimtes onder de dichtgebouwde bogen onder andere het Zakkendragersgilde. Toen omstreeks 1840 alle verdedigingswerken werden afgebroken, dreigde ook de Koppelpoort te verdwijnen. Maar de poort bleef gespaard en werd in 1886 gerestaureerd. Ruim honderd jaar later, 1996-1998, is de poort opnieuw gerestaureerd, waarbij bijzondere muurplanten zijn behouden. Hiermee won Amersfoort de Europa Nostra Award, een belangrijke restauratieprijs.

A poetic interplay of blazing red maple contrasted with the deep green woodland, a rather rare combination. The color intensified under a thinly-veiled sun for just a fleeting moment, allowing a perfect exposure to showcase the color depth of foliage. No HDR or saturation adjustment were needed.
