It turns out that science requires aluminum foil. Lots and lots of aluminum foil. Over 1,900 square meters (nearly 21,000 square feet) of aluminum foil are used at Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as seen wrapping equipment at one of the ALS beamlines.

Rambla Nova de Tarragona

 

The Rambla Nova is a 45-meter wide avenue that crosses the modern city of Tarragona from southeast to northwest (700 meters long). It has a wide central promenade with trees and sidewalks for cars. It goes from the Plaza de la Imperial Tàrraco (west) to the Balcón del Mediterraneo (east), a viewpoint over the sea where the locals go "to play iron." You get the name by analogy with the Rambla de Barcelona , since there is no old stream : the nearest point to the sea, the Mediterranean balcony, is the highest of the walk (42 m above sea level), while the Plaza de la Imperial Tàrraco is 24 meters above sea level.

 

This is the central axis of the Tarragona Eixample. With regard to its architectures, it is a privileged axis, since almost all of them are of great quality and define a time and a time. Also worthy of note are the sculptures arranged in the central area, such as the monument to Roger de Llúria, the Heroes of 1811 (popularly the statue of the naked ones) and the Font del Centenari.

 

The Rambla Nova was built on August 18 , 1854 , the year of the demolition of the San Juan wall. The urbanization project is due to Josep Criviller, winner of a public competition organized by the City Council in 1854 to carry out the union between the upper and lower parts of the city. After many difficulties, with the death of its author, the project definitively approved in 1857, by Àngel Romero, is a reform and improvement of the sketch of Criviller.

 

At first it was known as the "Esplanada", but later it was called the Rambla de Sant Joan in memory of the old section of the wall that passed there. In 1899 , year after the death of Emilio Castelar , the name of Rambla de Castelar was placed on the stretch between Carrer de Sant Agustí and El Balcó. Later it was called Rambla Nova , and in 1931 , with the advent of the Second Republic , it was named Rambla April 14 . After the Civil War, the Rambla del Generalísimo Franco was called . The section between the square of Imperial Tàrraco and the source of the Centenary was named Conde de Vallellano Avenue , in honor of Fernando Suárez de Tangil , Minister of Public Works (1951-1957). Finally, in the 70's , the current name of Rambla Nova was recovered for the entire walk from Plaza de la Imperial Tárraco to the Balcón.

 

In 2006 , a new section of the Rambla was opened, along Avenida del Presidente Lluís Companys and Avenida del Presidente Francesc Macià, which culminated in Plaça de les Corts Catalanes. With this new section, the Rambla was 1,000m long and it took a walk from the Francolí River to the Mediterranean Sea.

  

I saw the Monument als Castellers on the walk back to the hotel along the Rambla Nova in Tarragona (after the end of our guided walking tour of Tarragona Old Town).

  

The bronze statue of a human pyramid. We later saw people practising doing this in the Tarragona Old Town.

  

The Monument to the Castellers is a monument dedicated to the castellers by the Catalan sculptor Francesc Anglès i Garcia . It is located on Rambla Nova de Tarragona and represents a 4 of 8 natural size. It was inaugurated on May 29, 1999.

  

The Monument to the castellers is a sculpture that represents a figurative castle at the moment it is loaded and the enxaneta makes the fin . It is a 4 out of 8 eleven meters in height made to natural size. It is made of bronze and weighs twelve tons.

 

The set of the scene is formed by 222 people made with great detail. Of these, 219 figures are found in the castle, both in the pineapple -where they recognize faces such as those of Pau Casals , Pablo Picasso , Antoni Gaudí , Joan Miró or Joan Antoni Samaranch and various characters from Santa Coloma de Queralt local historian Salvador Palau Rafecas "el Galo" or professor Josep M. Carreras Tarragó) among others-, the trunk or the pom de dalt . Outside the castle there is a group of three musicians on one side - formed by two grallers and one timbaler - and the head of the gang , who heads the castle, on the other.

 

The model, made with plaster, that was used to make the mold of the bronze cast, was exposed for some time in front of the Castle of the Counts of Santa Coloma de Queralt, due to the author's link with this municipality .

The Alssund is the narrow strait between Als island and the mainland of Jutland, in Denmark.

. . . bekamen alle ihre Dusche . . .

Kinda a weird self portrait photo shoot to do. I had fun doing it though, aside from the horrific pain of being tied to a pillar. I still have duct tape stuck to my clothes!
