For Macro Mondays - Curves
Part of a Hand Boiler. For those who are not familiar with hand boilers I add the following
'This glass sculpture is designed to fit its bottom bulb into your hand and have you provide all the heat it needs to make its colourful, volatile liquid appear to boil.
Demonstrating a pair of important scientific principles (Charles’s Law and vapour-liquid equilibrium) while looking truly cool.'
The section photographed is 30 mm (~1.2 inches) across.
Happy Macro Monday!
Ninety kilometers from San Pedro de Atacama we found the Geiser del Tatio, a 10-square-kilometer geothermal field considered one of the most important on the planet and the highest in the world (4,200 m). There we found geysers of steam, water, mud, etc. that surpass the 15 meters of height, true boilers of water boiling at temperatures of 85 degrees. It is amazing to see the play of light that originates with the sunrise, magnificent colors and view.
This tour included breakfast. We began this tour accompanied by a hearty breakfast, admiring all this majestic geothermal activity and the more daring could enter the pool of thermal waters to finally lower and appreciated what nature has reserved for this place.
The area surprised us with vizcachas, llamas, vicunas and birds such as flamingos, tawa, puna duck, Andean goose among others, and the different flora that offered us the Chilean plateau, with a small stop to taste some local gastronomy, in the little village of Machuca, very famous for its skewers of llam.
An another rapid on Tumcha river and another strange name. This name was given because of noise and rumble it creates I think. Some of my friends turned upside down on kayak there. And it was quite difficult for me to make shots when they asked for a help. An impressive and hard experience...

Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
Abandoned power plant for a former paper factory
The old boiler house contains two water pipe radiant boilers by Steinmüller, built in 1936 and 1950, with travelling grate firing for hard coal - operating pressure 25 atü.
The Heart Mountain War Relocation Center, named after nearby Heart Mountain and located midway between the northwest Wyoming towns of Cody and Powell, was one of ten concentration camps used for the internment of Japanese Americans evicted during World War II from their local communities (including their homes, businesses, and college residencies) in the West Coast Exclusion Zone by the executive order of President Franklin Roosevelt, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
There are only a few original buildings remain, two barracks and this, the smokestack building (see pic).
Pic: The hospital, behind, relied on the boiler house to provide steam heat during cold Wyoming weather.
There is a museum, Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, just east of this. They open daily, 10am to 5pm. I got there like 4:15pm on Friday, September 9th, not enough time to visit inside - just don't want them to see me acting hurry; just took the pictures of those abandoned buildings, and left.

Former textile mill "Tuchfabrik Gebrüder Pfau" (1865-1990)
Double-flame tube boiler, made by "VEB Wasseraufbereitungsanlagen Dresden-Übigau", 1963 (left) and 1974 (right). The boiler on the left replaced the steam boiler from 1898 by the company Guttsche in Crimmitschau. The right-hand boiler was installed to replace the 1911 steam boiler supplied by the Oschatz company in Meerane. The steam reached a temperature of 187 degrees in both boilers.
This one seemed appropriate for Friday the 13th. This one also seems to have a face doesn’t it? This area kind of gave me the creeps while I was shooting it.
