A Ponte Presidente Costa e Silva, popularmente conhecida como Ponte Rio-Niterói, localiza-se na baía de Guanabara, estado do Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil, e liga o município do Rio de Janeiro ao município de Niterói.

O conceito de seu projeto remonta a 1875, visando a ligação entre os dois centros urbanos vizinhos, separados pela baía de Guanabara ou por uma viagem terrestre de mais de 100 km, que passava pelo município de Magé. À época havia sido concebida a construção de uma ponte e, posteriormente, de um túnel.

Entretanto, somente no século XX, em 1963, foi criado um grupo de trabalho para estudar um projeto para a construção de uma via rodoviária. Em 29 de dezembro de 1965, uma comissão executiva foi formada para cuidar do projeto definitivo de construção de uma ponte.

O Presidente Costa e Silva assinou decreto em 23 de agosto de 1968, autorizando o projeto de construção da ponte, idealizado por Mário Andreazza, então Ministro dos Transportes, sob a gestão de quem a ponte foi iniciada e concluída.

A obra teve início, simbolicamente, em 9 de novembro de 1968, com a presença da Rainha da Grã-Bretanha, Elizabeth II e de Sua Alteza Real, o Príncipe Filipe, Duque de Edimburgo, ao lado do ministro Mário Andreazza. As obras tiveram início em janeiro de 1969.

O banco responsável por parte do financiamento da obra foi N M Rothschild & Sons. Não foi permitida a participação única de empresas inglesas no processo de licitação da fabricação dos vãos principais de aço. Para concretizar a realização da obra, o Ministro da Fazenda, Delfim Neto, o engenheiro Eliseu Resende e a Rotschild & Sons assinaram, em Londres, um documento que assegurava o fornecimento de estruturas de aço, com um comprimento de 848m, incluindo os vãos de 200m+300m+200m e dois trechos adicionais de 74m, e um empréstimo de, aproximadamente, US$ 22 milhões com bancos britânicos. O valor destinava-se a despesas com outros serviços da ponte, totalizando NCr$ 113.951.370,00. O preço final da obra foi avaliado em NCr$ 289.683.970,00, com a diferença paga pela emissão de Obrigações Reajustáveis do Tesouro Nacional. Em 1971, o contrato de licitação para construção da obra foi rescindido devido a atraso nas obras, e a construção passou a ser feita por um novo consórcio das construtoras Camargo Correa, Mendes Junior e Construtora Rabello designado Consórcio Construtor Guanabara, sendo concluído três anos depois.

Extensão: 13,29 km (8,26 mi);

Inauguração: 1974

Limite norte: Av. do Contorno em Niterói, RJ

Limite sul: Av. Brasil no Rio de Janeiro, RJ

Concessão: CCR Ponte norte

> Trânsito sobre a Ponte

A ligação rodoviária foi entregue em 4 de março de 1974, com extensão total de 13,29 km, dos quais 8,83 km são sobre a água, e 72 m de altura em seu ponto mais alto, e com previsão de um volume diário de 4.868 caminhões, 1.795 ônibus e 9.202 automóveis, totalizando 15.865 veículos. Atualmente é considerada a maior ponte, em concreto protendido, do hemisfério sul e atualmente é a sexta maior ponte do mundo. No ano em que foi concluída, era a segunda maior ponte do mundo, perdendo apenas para a Causeway do lago Pontchartrain nos Estados Unidos. Ela continuou no posto de segunda maior ponte do mundo até 1985 quando foi concluída a Ponte Penang na Malásia. Na época de sua construção a sua travessia era gratuita, não existindo a cobrança de pedágio, implantado anos depois. a promessa era que o investimento fosse quitado por recursos obtidos do pedágio num prazo de oito anos, mas que o usuário deveria continuar a pagar o valor após a liquidação da dívida do Estado. Ao ser inaugurada, o pedágio da ponte custava Cr$ 2,00 para motocicletas; Cr$ 10,00 para carros de passeio, Cr$ 20,00 para caminhões, ônibus e caminhões com três eixos e rodagem dupla Cr$ 40,00, e Cr$ 70,00 para os caminhões com seis eixos e rodagem dupla.

Em 1995 foi feita uma concorrência para concessão da administração da ponte para a iniciativa privada, que foi vencida pelo consórcio Ponte S/A, atualmente, empresa do Sistema CCR.

Cinco operários morreram durante a construção do vão central da ponte, devido à altura em relação ao nível do mar.

> Projeto

O projeto da ponte Rio Niterói foi preparado por um consórcio de duas empresas. A firma Noronha Engenharia, sediada no Rio de Janeiro, preparou o projeto dos acessos no Rio de Janeiro e em Niterói, assim como a ponte de concreto sobre o mar. A firma Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendorf, dos EUA, projetou o trecho dos vãos principais em estrutura de aço, incluindo as fundações e os pilares.

Os engenheiros responsáveis pelo projeto da ponte de concreto foram Antônio Alves de Noronha Filho e Benjamin Ernani Diaz[1] e o engenheiro responsável pela ponte de aço foi o americano James Graham.

> Construção

O canteiro principal da Ponte Rio de Niterói do Consórcio Construtor Guanabara se localizava na Ilha do Fundão, pertencente à Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Havia, também, canteiros secundários em Niterói. As firmas executoras da superestrutura em aço foram Dormann & Long, Cleveland Bridge e Montreal Engenharia. A estrutura foi toda fabricada na Inglaterra em módulos, que chegaram ao Brasil por transporte marítimo.

A fabricação final da ponte de aço, com os elementos pré-soldados da Inglaterra, foi feita na Ilha do Caju, na Baia de Guanabara. A montagem das vigas de aço também foi feita pelas mesmas firmas fabricantes da estrutura.

Jabi, magnífica captura; ha sido un gran éxito tu intento de contrariar las inexorables agujas del reloj paralizándolo en este bello paisaje.

En cuanto al plano de expresión, tu técnica y creatividad nos permite revivir ese instante, en el cual los rayos de sol son una esperanza de calidez en el frío, y dan fuerza a la escena.

Muy buen ángulo de toma. Impresiona la magnitud.

Excelente equilibrio compositivo.

夕陽と荒波の雲見・千貫門の北側ビーチ。5つ前のポスト、大波の千貫門と同日・少し早い時間のショットです。

こちらは、大波の直撃は写真左の大きな千貫門に守られていますが、それでも4m弱の波が押し寄せていました。これ以上前に行くと危険なので少々引き気味ですが、それでもかなりレンズにしぶきがかかりました。。

この角度の千貫門は写真だと「ヒヨコ」みたいに見えますが、高さ30m以上あるのでその威圧感は凄いです。

Monterosso is one of the five villages in Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre have come to be among the most popular areas of Italy among tourists. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in a national park by the same name. The Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's most picturesque, fun and quaint at the same time, very accessible, and terrific for swimming. Monterosso al Mare is actually two towns—a bustling, character-filled old town built behind the harbor. Narrow and winding streets, colorfully-painted buildings, unique shops, people at work and play - similar to most Italian towns. Somehow, though, it just never gets old. The medieval Torre Aurora or Dawn Tower separates the old part of Monterosso from the new part. It is located on a headland, jutting out into the sea. The tower is the only one remaining of an original 13 towers which surrounded Monterosso in the 16th century. In addition to the spectacular scenery, Monterosso’s beaches are favorites with tourists because they provide easy access to the culinary delights for which the region is so famous. The grapes and olives cultivated on terraces carved into the surrounding mountainside are turned into award-winning wines, liqueurs, and olive oils. Anchovies are a local specialty, as is the pesto sauce, made from locally produced basil, garlic, pine nuts, and pecorino cheese.

Clothes drip dry from washing lines above the restaurants, the narrow streets are clad in stone, and in the evenings, the sea gentle tumbles the shoreline's boulders. Monterosso may be the busiest of the Cinque Terre towns, with the most hotels, restaurants, and bustle, but calling it "busy" is a relative thing. The town remains little more than an oversized fishing village, with all the attendant charms.

Monterosso is het meest noordelijke dorp van de Cinque Terre en het enige met een zandstrand. Het dorpje wordt in twee gesplitst door een uitstekende rots, met bovenop een kasteel. Het havengebied is rijk aan oude steegjes, typische smalle kleurrijke straatjes van Ligurië, waar je wijnbars, restaurants, focaccia en ijssalons kunt vinden. Het oude stadsdeel ligt achter de spoorlijn en in de kleine straatjes liggen talrijke winkeltjes en eetgelegenheden.Monterosso heeft een leuke boulevard en pleintjes. De restaurants in de oude binnenstad zijn van goede kwaliteit, het slimste is van te voren te reserveren anders is er wellicht geen plaats meer. Het dorp ligt in het natuurpark Cinque Terre, een groene, bosrijke en heuvelachtige omgeving met authentieke dorpjes en hoge rotskliffen. Langs de kust loopt een wandelpad die de Cinque Terre met elkaar verbindt, nl. van Monterosso al Mare via Vernazza, Corniglia en Manarola naar Riomaggiore. Je kan op verschillende manieren de prachtige omgeving bekijken, wandelen, trein en boot.

Svatopluk Čech Bridge or Čech Bridge (Most Svatopluka Čecha or Čechův most in Czech) is a arch bridge over river Vltava (Moldau) in Prague, Czech Republic.

The bridge connects the Prague districts Holešovice and the Old Town (Staré Město). Construction materials are stone (pillars) and iron (arches). Up to 1961 the roadway was made of wood - a hard specie named Jarrah from Australia. The roadway got very slippery during rains.

Adoor in Kerala holds its famous Bull Races every year around the time of Onam. It is a celebration of agrarian existence and is carried on without any grants or aid from the Government. This is a spectacular fiesta of rural Kerala. There are 2-3 other such events that are held in Kerala.

Two racing bulls are hitched together and three men come into action. Two racers with lead ropes on either side of the bulls who try to control the direction and speed if possible and one often obscured by sprays of mud and water, a jockey who rides on a small flat strip of wood.

The bulls race ahead with the men keeping desperately abreast of the thundering hooves. At the end of the racing track there is a 4-6 feet embankment of earth which acts as a protection and a marker for the bulls. The embankment gets totally crowded with onlookers. The bull racers need to turn the bull around and do a 360 degree here but most times that effort fails as the bulls in their racing frenzy would be uncontrollable.

I have no idea on the current status of the bull races. There are enough organisations howling to stop such races but the Supreme Court of India in a judgement a few months ago allowed bull/bullock cart races to go on in Punjab. So chances are that the tradition may still live on.

Chianti is a red Italian wine produced in Tuscany. The first definition of a wine-area called Chianti was made in 1716. The earliest documentation of a Chianti wine dates back to the thirteenth century when viticulture was known to flourish in the Chianti Mountains around Florence. Discover the most celebrated region of Tuscany. The vineyards of this area produce one of the best wines in the world: Chianti Classico. This Wine represents a major source of wealth for the Chianti area, no wonder then that this product has been particularly looked after and protected, in order to distinguish its quality from other wine productions. This is why a rigid legislation has been introduced to regulate the production of Classic Chianti. The first limit obviously regards the geographical area where the grape must grow. But not only the vineyards must be cultivated in the prescribed area: the whole process of wine-making, storage and bottling must take place inside the protected zone. The grape variety from which Chianti is produced is Sangiovese. The alcoholic strength must not exceed 12 %. In addition to this, there are other requirements that must be followed, regarding the average amount of dry product (24 g/l); the acidity rate (4,5 g/l), the colour (intense ruby red), the smell (fruity, with nuances of wildflowers, berries, cherries or plums) and taste (harmonious, dry, strong and with respectable tannin).

We drive on the glorious wine roads of Tuscany. We visit the farms and cellars and of-course taste the great Chianti wine. Here we visit Casale Dello Sparviero. Harmoniously set in the hills of Castellina in Chianti, in the Siena's Classico area, the estate is spread 380 hectares. The vineyards are set on the altitude of 250 metres and encircled by woods and self vegetation. The Casale dated back to XVI century. The building houses the wine cellars, where wine continues its precious evolution in large oak barrels for quality wine.

Denk je aan Toscana, dan zie je stadjes op heuveltoppen, wijngaarden omzoomd door cipressen zover het oog reikt. Liefhebbers weten dat je overal tussen die landerijen. wijnhuizen kunt vinden waar je ook nog eens kunt proeven... het idee alleen al doet je toch bijna het water in de mond lopen. Ook als je weer thuis bent en je neemt een slok van je meegebrachte wijn, ben je er in je gedachten weer helemaal: op dat zonovergoten terras in Castellina in Chianti of bij dat fantastische restaurant met die truffelgerechten in Monteriggioni. Zeg je wijn in Toscana, dan zeg je Chianti, een wijn die zich in de laatste 30 jaar tot Classico heeft ontwikkeld. Chianti is de bekendste en populairste van alle Italiaanse wijnen. De wijn wordt gemaakt van de alom aanwezige Sangiovese-druif, die graag veel zon heeft en goed bestand is tegen grote temperatuurschommelingen. De belangrijkste Chianti-zones worden gevormd door de streek Chianti Classico gelegen rond Castellina. Zoals met zoveel in Italia, is ook de wijnbouw begonnen in het zuiden, maar hebben de noorderlingen het later overgenomen. Na de Romeinse tijd kwam de zuidelijke wijnbouw in de versukkeling. De oudste ononderbroken wijntraditie. In de Renaissance kwam de productie weer helemaal terug en wel in...Toscana. Rijke handelaars en bankiers zoals de families Frescobaldi en Antinori namen druivenrassen mee uit Frankrijk en legden daarmee de basis voor het feit dat Toscana tegenwoordig de oudste onononderbroken wijntradities van Italië kent.

This is from the danish championships in decathlon. The weather conditions were perfect and we had a great time with other track and field clubs.

Lake Atanasovsko is a salt coastal lake north of Burgas, Bulgaria

Due to the water of Lake Atanasovsko's high salt content that increases every year because of the link with the sea, salt has been produced in it since 1906, with 40,000 tons of sea salt being obtained a year.

En compañia de nuestro amigo Shadi nos trasladamos hasta el concejo de Cudillero a esta preciosidad de playa para hacer amaneceres que es Gueirua.

Our past molds the person we are. We cannot choose our family and their influence, but we can make the most of our circumstances in a positive light.

Family is weird thing. Some families are close, some have profound disagreements and rifts. Ultimately they are part of your life, even if only in the past tense.

Family dynamics are wrought with emotional drama and all the baggage that comes with it. Often if requires diplomacy of great magnitude to maintain some peace and stability, not unlike politics.

He was so happy to see the sunrise! It has been a very long time since I photographed Plankton! He was very miffed and uncooperative, but finally I got him to oblige. Even toys can't resist a good sunrise over the lake!

It has also been a long time since I posted a Toy on Thursday! *gasp* In fact ... the last time I posted was way back in January, and ... incidentally, that one was taken in Chicago too!

Nomi comuni della ROSA CANINA:

*Rosa di macchia

*Rosa selvatica

*Rosa di bosco

Questa pianta deve il nome canina a Plinio il vecchio, che affermava che un soldato romano fu guarito dalla rabbia con un decotto di radici.

La Rosa Canina è una varietà di rosa selvatica, che può crescere spontaneamente nei boschi e nei dirupi. Fin dall'antichità è stata considerata un fiore dalla doppia valenza; da un lato, infatti, la Rosa Canina si caratterizza per la bellezza e soavità del profumo dei propri boccioli, dall'altro per il tronco ed i rami pieni di spine, piccole e appuntite, che rappresentano un ostacolo per chiunque si avvicini e desideri cogliere una rosa. Per questi motivi il significato attribuito al fiore è duplice: delicatezza e piacere ma la tempo stesso anche sofferenza e dolore fisico. Da non dimenticare sono poi le proprietà calmanti e rilassanti associate agli infusi ed estratti ricavati con i petali del fiore.

Not even room for a little 'un on this packed day car in Sligo town. Destinations advertised outside Walsh's were Ballina, Bundoran, Enniskillen, Ballyshannon and Roscommon.

Thanks to John Spooner, we now know this photo was taken on Corcoran's Mall in Sligo and he found great info on Walsh's schedules from Slater's 1870 directory for Sligo:

"To BALLINA, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at fifty-five minutes past six, and a Van at halfpast two afternoon.

To BALLYSHANNON, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at six; also a Day Car at twenty minutes past two afternoon, during summer months only.

To ENNISKILLEN, Cars leave WALSH'S Office, Corcoran's Mall, every day (Sunday excepted) at seven in the morning." See comments below for how John worked out that the trip from Sligo to Ballyshannon worked out at an average of 6.75 mph!

Date: 1880s?
