NN as abbreviation for Normalnull, a metric German height reference system preceding Normalhöhennull (NHN)
"Meter über Normal-Null" (“meters above standard zero”).

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.

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.

Golden Gate Canyon State Park (Rocky Mountains, Colorado).
Aspen is a common name for certain tree species; some, but not all, are classified by botanists in the section Populus, of the poplar genus.
All of the aspens typically grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling, and spread by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 m (98–130 ft) from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason, it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands. One such colony in Utah, given the nickname of "Pando", is estimated to be 80,000 years old, making it possibly the oldest living colony of aspens. Some aspen colonies become very large with time, spreading about 1 m (3.3 ft) per year, eventually covering many hectares. They are able to survive forest fires, because the roots are below the heat of the fire, with new sprouts growing after the fire burns out.
Aspens do not thrive in the shade, and it is difficult for seedlings to grow in an already mature aspen stand. Fire indirectly benefits aspen trees, since it allows the saplings to flourish in open sunlight in the burned landscape. Lately, aspens have an increased popularity in forestry, mostly because of their fast growth rate and ability to regenerate from sprouts, making the reforestation after harvesting much cheaper, since no planting or sowing is required.
In contrast with many trees, aspen bark is base-rich, meaning aspens are important hosts for bryophytes and act as food plants for the larvae of butterfly (Lepidoptera) species—see List of Lepidoptera that feed on poplars.
Young aspen bark is an important seasonal forage for the European hare and other animals in early spring. Aspen is also a tree of choice of the European beaver.(Wikipedia)

I've heard this spot at the Crystal River Mill near Marble, Colorado referred to as the most photographed spot in the state. I don't think that's true partly because there's a 4WD trail that tends to discourage the crowds. On this late night adventure during the peak of the fall foliage season, I decided to make a run for my vision of this historic mill with some long-exposure star trails above.
In this case, I had a pretty big challenge come up though… just outside of Marble, a deer bolted out of the woods and flashed right in front of my 4Runner. I was going about 45 and ended up killing the deer instantly and causing damage to my 4Runner. I had a few minutes on one of the pullouts to assess the damage and consider my options. And after pulling a bunch of metal and other materials out of my wheel wells to get some of my turning radius, I determined that nothing critical had been damaged… I still had some lights! So I made the decision to stick with my plan and continue on to 4WD trail up to the mill.
There is a lot more to this post... see the rest of the backstory, the techniques, and get free wallpaper from www.coloradocaptures.com/starry-night-star-trails-crystal-river-mill

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

Na semana que passou foi entregue a Vista Chinesa aos Cariocas e os visitantes de nossa cidade, ela estava já alguns meses fechada para restauração. Esta foi a maior intervenção que o Pagode recebeu deste de sua inauguração em 1903. voltando inclusive a sua cor original.
Mas tirando a cor original e o seu entorno que foi totalmente restaurado, não há muitas diferenças aparentes na estrutura do Pavilhão, talvez pela boa conservação que já havia no Pagode, foi aberta ou restaurada não sei ao certo uma trilha que tive o prazer de hoje percorrer em parte, que vai pelo meio da floresta ate a Mesa do Imperador, local muito usado pela Família Imperial para Piqueniques
Aproveito para desejar a todas as Pessoas de Boa Vontade que aqui passam, uma excelente semana, repleta de Paz, Saúde, Alegrias e muita Prosperidade

Minneapolis Minnesota downtown skyline view from a little hole in the jump fence offda E. Franklin Avenue bridge that crosses over Interstate 35W
I’m getting a few questions how this was done: I had my tripod setup for about 2 hours on the bridge. I took some pictures at dusk when it was still light out and then again later when it got dark and all the city lights turned on. This image is a composite of 2 pictures manipulated in Photoshop. The base picture was one of those shots taken at dusk using a 30 second long exposure to capture the car light streaks on the highway. To get that long shutter speed in dusky light, I used a Lee ‘Big Stopper’ 10 stop ND filter with ISO at 100 and an small Aperture of f/20 (shutter at 30 seconds). I took another 'night shot' without any filters later in the evening from that same spot to capture the buildings when the city lights were on. In Photoshop, I used the 30 second exposure 'dusk shot' as the base layer and then put the 'night shot' on top in a different Layer. I masked off everything except the buildings on the night shot Layer and changed the Layer Blend Mode to ‘Color Dodge’ – that mode will keep pixels if they are lighter than the layer below and will hide pixels if they are darker – the effect is like turning on all the lights of the city :)
A muchas gracias out to Cousin Greg for watching my back in that rather spicy neighborhood and my apologies to that other photographer for hogging the fence hole for so long :O
It was my son's school holiday and it was high fog. I thought, we should do something pleasant so I checked out the webcam on top of Wendelstein. That is a mountain, which we can see from home. The weather was great, so we jumped into the car and spend some nice hours with a great view, some food and drinks, some birds jumping around on the table and taking pictures (of course).
The Wendelstein is a 1,838-metre (6,030-foot) high mountain in the Bavarian Alps in South Germany. It belongs to the so-called Mangfall Mountains, the eastern part of the Bavarian Pre-Alps. It is the highest peak in the Wendelstein massif. Due to its exposed location it has a very good view over the Bavarian Alpine Foreland and is unmistakable for miles around. It lies between the valleys of the Leitzach and Inn and is accessible via the Wendelstein Cable Car and the Wendelstein Rack Railway. On its northern foothills rises the Jenbach, which becomes the Kalten on its way to the River Mangfall.
Local valley settlements include Bayrischzell, Brannenburg (rack railway) and Osterhofen (cable car).
We made one last stop before going back to Edinburgh to see some highland hairy coos, which I had been waiting (and hoping) for. They had names, on a sign next to the stop (a tourist attraction, of course), but I forget what they were. They're kinda cute giant hairy things. I think I like them better than our dairy cows.

The Waterkeringpad is a walking route between Amsterdam Central Station and Huizen and consists of eight sections. Check all sections here and information. The route follows the dike along the former Zuiderzee now the IJ Lake and the Gooimeer. A unique experience, walking on the dike! Before 1500 the Diemerzeedijk between Maxis and Muiden was made from clay and construction waste. From mid-fifteenth century, the old sea wall was a retaining wall of wooden poles. Between 1732 and 1744 it was replaced by a stone slope which could better absorb the powerful waves. The Waterkeringpad is a 36 kilometer long trail. We are walking section no.4 from Maxis to Muiden. At the harbor mouth Muiden has beautiful views of the IJ Lake. You can see in the distance the island Pampus. Across the harbor is the Muiderslot. Right behind the dike, the West Battery Muiden. Which was built in 1799 and is part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam. After 1870 the fort lost its military function and not improved for the New Dutch Waterline between 1880 and 1885. Because large parts of the Netherlands are below sealevel, the dutch have been fighting the water for as long as we can remember. However, water isn’t the only enemy of our country. In times of war water became a welcome ally and the nation’s best line of defence. The dutch caused intentional inundation using Hollands biggest secret weapon: the Dutch Waterline. After World War II the Waterline no longer played a prominent role and was quitly forgotten.The Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie is on the tentative list of UNESCO’s World Heritage. The New Dutch Waterline forts are, for the most part, closed during the winter months because of the bats that nest there. However, from April through September many special guided tours of the forts are possible. The dike offers beautiful views over the IJ Lake. Also the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn did made many drawings along the Diemerzeedijk. It's a walking path with lots of history.
The Waterkeringpad is a walking route between Amsterdam Central Station and Huizen and consists of eight sections. It's a 36 kilometer trail and the dike offers beautiful views over the IJ Lake. On the route you will experience the importance of safe dikes and enjoy the nature around you with special historical and impressive objects that have to do with the dam. The West Battery is located on the west bank of Muiden. In 1427 the Fortress Muiden was a strategic military location. Especially the construction of the sea lock was an important tool in the defense of the Netherlands. Pampus is an artificial island and late 19th Century sea fort located in the IJmeer near Amsterdam. The fort is on a man-made island situated on what was the Pampus shallows or sandbank in the former Zuiderzee.
Het Waterkeringpad is een wandelroute tussen Amsterdam Centraal Station en Huizen en bestaat uit acht trajecten. Bekijk hier al de trajecten en info. De route volgt de waterkering langs de voormalige Zuiderzee nu het IJmeer en het Gooimeer. Een unieke ervaring, wandelen over de dijk! Vóór 1500 bestond de Diemerzeedijk tussen Maxis en Muiden uit klei en bouwafval. Vanaf midden vijftiende eeuw kreeg de oude zeedijk een beschoeiing van houten palen. Tussen 1732 en 1744 maakte hout plaats voor een flauw aflopende stenen glooiing. Die kon krachtige golfslag beter opvangen. Het Waterkeringpad is een 36 kilometer lange wandelroute. Wij wandelen traject nr.4 van Maxis naar Muiden. Bij de havenmond van Muiden heeft u prachtig uitzicht op het IJmeer. Je kunt in de verte het eiland Pampus zien liggen. Aan de overkant van de haven ligt het Muiderslot.
Pal achter de dijk staat de Westbatterij Muiden. Die is gebouwd in 1799 en verloor na 1870 kennelijk zijn militaire functie, want tijdens de algemene verbeteringsronde van de forten in de Waterlinie tussen 1880 en 1885, werd het niet meer aangepast. De Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie was een verdedigingslinie. Water was het verdedigingswapen. Als de vijand eraan kwam, konden stroken weiland tussen Muiden en de Biesbosch onder water gezet worden. Het land werd daardoor moeilijk begaanbaar voor de vijand. De linie deed dienst van 1815 tot ongeveer 1940. Tegenwoordig houdt het waterschap met de Steenen Beer het water in de Naardertrekvaart en omliggende polders op peil. De dijk biedt mooie panorama's over het IJmeer. Eén van de plaatsen langs de Diemerzeedijk die door Rembrandt en zijn leerlingen herhaaldelijk en van verschillende kanten in beeld is gebracht, is Outersdorp. Outersdorp was een piepkleine buurtschap van drie boerderijen. Hier zijn een stuk of vijftien tekeningen van. Kortom een bijzonder pad met veel geschiedenis.
