Lago de Ercina, Asturias, España.
El lago de la Ercina es un pequeño lago de montaña del norte de España, localizado en los Picos de Europa, en la cordillera Cantábrica. Está próximo al lago Enol y juntos forman el conjunto conocido como Lagos de Covadonga, en el Principado de Asturias, dentro del parque nacional de los Picos de Europa.
Este lago es de dimensiones (tomadas en absoluto) menores que el lago Enol, y su capacidad cúbica también es más baja. El lago de La Ercina está a 1108 m de altitud y su profundidad máxima es de 3 m.
Las características de similitud con el lago Enol están ligadas a su origen (ambos tienen un origen glaciar) y por supuesto, su situación geográfica, ya que ambos lagos se encuentran separados por la Picota de Enol mediando entre ellos una distancia inferior a seiscientos metros.
Lake Ercina is a small mountain lake in northern Spain, located in the Picos de Europa, in the Cantabrian Mountains. It is close to Lake Enol and together they form the group known as Lakes of Covadonga, in the Principality of Asturias, within the Picos de Europa National Park.
This lake is of dimensions (taken at all) smaller than Lake Enol, and its cubic capacity is also lower. Lake La Ercina is at an altitude of 1108 m and its maximum depth is 3 m.
The characteristics of similarity to Lake Enol are linked to its origin (both have a glacial origin) and, of course, its geographical location, since both lakes are separated by the Picota de Enol, with a distance of less than six hundred meters between them.
13-05-2023: turbulent sky in the evening.
After years of suffering, finally the ghost/temporary lake of Cerknica (it is a karstic lake as better specified in many photos of the past) returns to cover, over the long term, a vast surface of its large basin, which measures 40km2 and can be covered with water almost totally, something that hasn't happened since March 2018, roughly.
In these cases it becomes, by far, the largest lake in Slovenija (up to almost 4x Lake Bohinj), although with a low average depth, mainly between 0.5 and 2m, facilitating rich vegetation and aquatic fauna composed of still water fish (the biggest are Carp, Chub, Tench and Pike) and a large variety of amphibians.
The lake is also rich in poultry fauna, in particular storks and gray herons, and many migrant species.
Unfortunately in 2022, for the first time in its history (those who follow my photostream probably remember it, with "my area" shots inserted in strictly chronological order), the drying up of all the not embanked large part (the embanked part represents just 0.1% of the entire lake basin and was in any case reduced by 90%), caused an incalculable death of fish, while a significant part of amphibians survived by digging deep burrows in the mud.
This is just to say that you can't have "the wine bottle full and be drunk", as people would like expecting to be in the shade of lush vegetation wanting sun for 365 days a year.
It is ONLY thanks to my beloved "bad weather" that a healthy and flourishing nature can be appreciated.
Europe, Portugal, Região Norte, Porto, Ribeira, Dom Luis 1 bridge, Metro de Porto cars, Peope
A view towards the Dom Luis 1 bridge is one of the Porto icons, pobably thé icon. “It was at the time of its construction, the longest arch span in the World, at 172 m and remains the longest-spanning iron arch to this day. It represents the swan song of wrought iron bridges, as at the start of the 20th century stronger steel of more consistent quality would almost entirely replace the use of wrought iron in bridge construction.” (from: A critical analysis of the design and construction of the D Luis 1 bridge, Porto – J J Wells, (2011, University of Bath).
On the bridge two coupled trainsets (Flexity Outlook) of the Metro de Porto (total length 75 km, 6 lines, the capacity of the system: 9000 passengers/line/hour).
Land-based wind energy supplied 45.1% of Kansas' electricity generation in 2021 - ranking third in the nation. In addition, the state continued to bring on more wind energy capacity throughout the year.
I tried several versions of this but I liked a softened monochrome of this High Capacity Postal Trolley best.
A circle of sea ice in the beautiful bay at Ny Alesund.
This was the first sailing of the year with Hurtigruten on one of their small vessels, MS Nordstjernen, suitable for dealing with sea ice in the spring. The ship has only 150 beds and sailed at 50% capacity on this trip, so plenty of opportunity to see some unforgettable sights. A very memorable voyage with non stop scenery to amaze and inspire.

As you may guess it’s a good test of lung capacity.
One of the capacities gradually developed by a photographer as time passes by is a "trained" eye for capturing a successful frame ... When you see the scene, it actually calls you to enclose it inside your camera's sensor ...
The two absolutely identical (from a technical - constructive point of view) old, wooden doors stay close to one another forming a formidable mirroring photograph at Nikiforos of Drama's prefecture ... A village of no more than 400 permanent residents but with an extremely interesting variety of old, poor yet architecturally interesting and still absolutely inhabitable if properly maintained dwellings ...
The photograph was taken somewhere around late afternoon hours, without a tripod and with the lowest possible ISO value set on my D90 in order to grasp details as clearly as possible .... Most of my effort was focused in actually framing the scene properly ...

🇫🇷 Immédiatement à l’Est de l’agora se trouve le théâtre. Il offre une vue magnifique sur la plaine Pamphylienne, ce bâtiment est sans doute le plus beau de tous ceux de Termessos. Il affiche clairement les caractéristiques du théâtre Romain, ayant préservé quand même un peu du plan de la période Hellénistique. La cavea (Partie d’un théâtre Romain ou d’un amphithéâtre où se trouvent les gradins sur lesquels s’assoient les spectateurs) semi-circulaire, est divisée en deux partie par une diazôma (Allée qui sépare horizontalement les gradins en deux parties). Au-dessus de la diazôma on trouve huit rangées de sièges et en dessous seize, ce qui permet une nombre de spectateurs que l’on estime entre 4.000 et 5.000. Une entrée arquée reliait la cavea avec l’Agora. Le parados (Chemin pour le passage du chœur et d’une partie des acteurs) Sud était voûté à l’époque Romaine, le Nord a été conservé dans son état d’origine en plein air.
🇬🇧 Just east of the agora is the theatre. With a magnificent view over the Pamphylian plain, it is undoubtedly the most beautiful building in Termessos. It clearly has the characteristics of a Roman theatre, although it retains some of the layout of the Hellenistic period. The semicircular cavea (part of a Roman theatre or amphitheatre where the seating tiers are located) is divided into two parts by a diazôma (aisle that divides the seating tiers horizontally into two parts). There are eight rows of seats above the diazôma and sixteen below, giving an estimated capacity of between 4,000 and 5,000 spectators. An arched entrance connected the cavea to the agora. The southern parados (a passageway for the chorus and some of the actors) was vaulted in Roman times, while the northern parados has been preserved in its original open state.
🇩🇪 Unmittelbar östlich der Agora liegt das Theater. Es bietet einen herrlichen Blick auf die Pamphylische Ebene und ist wahrscheinlich das schönste Gebäude von Termessos. Es zeigt deutlich die Merkmale des römischen Theaters, hat aber noch einen Teil des hellenistischen Grundrisses bewahrt. Die halbrunde Cavea (Teil eines römischen Theaters oder Amphitheaters, in dem sich die Sitzreihen für die Zuschauer befinden) wird durch eine Diazôma (Gasse, die die Sitzreihen horizontal in zwei Teile trennt) in zwei Teile geteilt. Oberhalb der Diazôma befinden sich acht Sitzreihen, unterhalb sechzehn, so dass die Zuschauerzahl auf 4.000 bis 5.000 geschätzt werden kann. Ein bogenförmiger Eingang verband die Cavea mit der Agora. Der südliche Parados (Durchgang für den Chor und einen Teil der Schauspieler) war in römischer Zeit überwölbt, der nördliche ist in seinem ursprünglichen Zustand unter freiem Himmel erhalten.
🇪🇸 Inmediatamente al este del ágora se halla el teatro. Con unas magníficas vistas sobre la llanura de Panfilia, este edificio es, sin duda, el más bello de Termessos. Presenta claramente las características de un teatro romano, aunque se han conservado partes del trazado de la época helenística. La cavea semicircular (parte del teatro o anfiteatro romano donde se sitúan las gradas) está dividida en dos partes por una diazoma (pasillo que separa horizontalmente las gradas en dos). Hay ocho filas de asientos por encima de la diazoma y dieciséis por debajo, con una capacidad estimada de entre 4000 y 5000 espectadores. Una entrada arqueada comunicaba la cavea con el ágora. El parados sur (pasadizo para el coro y algunos de los actores) fue abovedado en época romana, mientras que el parados norte se ha conservado al aire libre.

The structure of the tower is unconventional, based on a triangle whose corners are growing up in steel columns, consisting of three tubes with a double steel wall, filled with concrete. They support nine 'pods' and three decks for transmitting equipment. One of the three pillars extends considerably higher than the others, and this provides both the necessary height for some antennas, along with the structure's rocket and gantry appearance. In its time it was a unique technology, which authors have patented.
The tower stands 216 metres (709 feet) high, altitude of the observatory is 93 m, the hotel room altitude is 70 m, restaurants altitude is 66 m, with a capacity of 180 people. Three elevators transport passengers at a speed of 4 m/s.
Three of the pods, positioned directly beneath the decks at the top of the tower, are used for equipment related to the tower's primary function and are inaccessible to the public. The remaining six pods are open to visitors, providing a panoramic view of Prague and the surrounding area. The lower three, approximately half-way up the length of the pillars at 63 metres (207 feet), house a recently refurbished restaurant and café bar.
Construction of the tower cost $19 million. It weighs 11,800 tons and is also used as a meteorological observatory. It is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers
Sylvenstein Dam is an earthen embankment dam in the Isar valley, in the alpine part of Upper Bavaria, Germany which impounds the Sylvenstein Reservoir (German: Sylvensteinspeicher).
Several hydropower plants were built in the tributary of the upper Isar river in the 1920s, for example at the Achensee and Lake Walchen Power Plant. Therefore, the river ran nearly dry during the dry season. This mainly affected the town of Bad Tölz. A reservoir was established to ensure a minimum level of water in the river. During the dry season a volumetric flow of 4 cubic metres per second is released to prevent the Isar from running dry. Additionally, the reservoir provides flood control for the Isar river between Bad Tölz and Munich.
The dam is 44 metres (144 ft) high and has a length of 180 metres (590 ft). It was built between 1954 and 1959. From 1959 on, the water was also used to drive a hydropower plant of 3.2 MW. The plant was upgraded in 2000 with new turbines to generate 3.8 MW.
During the 2005 European floods, because the maximum capacity of the reservoir was reached, more water than normal had to be released into the Isar river, but the flooding would have been more severe if the Sylvenstein Dam had not been present.

This one is not a crop, but if you look closely at the larger version you'll see just how much that ventral groove blubber attached to the lower jaw has been stretched! The pink stripes makes it easy to see how huge it is! Pretty amazing!
There are a number of humpbacks in this shot, but that is not a whale in the foreground, by the way. It's a wave breaking on the shore.

Total capacity is 3,300 billion litres. The lake is currently just under 100% after many years of drought and has not been this full since October, 1996.
This photo was taken at approximately 95% capacity. Two years ago the lake was at 25% capacity and the lowest level ever was 5.3% in April, 2007 exposing many old homes, farms and bridges.
It is now once again a haven for boating enthusiasts who enjoy fishing and water skiing and has greatly revived the economies of the townships that surround the lake who rely on it for survival.
Greek Theater at Taormina, Sicily, Italy.
Perched on a hilltop in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable is the Ancient Teatro Greco of Taormina. Located on the eastern shores of Sicily, Taormina is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in all of Italy. Sitting some 250 meters above the Ionian Sea, Taormina is a popular destination with tourists due to its trendy beaches and beautiful setting.
The Greek Theatre here is the second largest of its kind in all of Sicily behind only the Greek Theatre of Siracusa. Built in the third century BC, the theatre is remarkably well preserved and it still used today for opera and musical performances.
Constructed during the Greek Hellenistic period, the theatres design and horseshoe layout are typical of Greek construction. The theatre was literally carved out of the rock on Mount Tauro and had a capacity of 5,000 spectators. However, the extensive use of brick in the theatre suggests a Roman influence and researches feel that the Romans most likely rebuilt the theatre over the original Greek foundation. This transformation took place during the 2nd century AD and the Romans used the theater for gladiator contests as opposed to plays and gatherings during the Greek period. While the theatre is most often referred to as the Teatro Greco because of its Greek origins, it is also referred to as the Greco-Roman Theatre because of its Roman renovation.

Our annual Harvest Fest for the backyard visitors was a huge success with all.
With four pumpkins, two of them carved, gourds, Indian corn, almonds, pecans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, corn, brazil nuts, hazel nuts and sunflower seed setting the stage, everyone felt like a star whenever a treat or two was discovered.
In case of this chipmunk there's no telling how many treats are packed into those cheeks.
**For those of you who know me, if you saw the squirrel photos yesterday, then you probably guessed chippie shots were next!
Its hard for me to stay away from the sailboats bc I'm only miles from the bay soooo here it is: another sailboat shot :) TGIF everyone!
Just as New York has its yellow cabs and London its red buses, Lisbon has its trademark yellow trams – and those serving Route 28 are the most famous of all.
Riding tram 28 has become one of the city’s most popular activities. It’s a 40-minute journey back in time, over hills and through medieval streets, in vintage trams from the 1930s that are still an important part of the city's public transport network.
Line 28 was inaugurated way back in 1914, and all these decades later the service runs every five minutes or so. Queues of tourists form all day to jump on board and see the city from this unique perspective. The energy-clean tram is now an essential part of Lisbon's life, and the city would lose part of its soul without the constant rattling of these charismatic yellow boxes, each of which is built in wood and has a capacity for 20 seated and 38 standing passengers (although many more cram in).
Watching the game one Sunday afternoon.
The large and main venue is in the northeast corner of the park. The field has limited seating capacity with bench seats along the first and third bases with most spectators sitting along the grass hills. A wood broadcast booth is located at the top of the northeast corner. There are no change rooms at this field, players change in the washrooms near the concession stand beyond centre field. The park hosts the Toronto Maple Leafs of Intercounty Baseball, U of T's Varsity Blues, and local high school games.
The Mercedes-Benz CapaCity L is a 21-metre articulated bus which oozes road presence wherever they're found. These fine yellow beasts can be found on the busiest of Dresden's bus routes.
459313-4 (DD-VB 9313) is seen on route 64 at the Kaditz terminus north of the city.
The oldest boat in the CGN fleet! Despite being the oldest in the Belle Epoque fleet, it is equipped with the most recent 21st century steam engine, with remote control from the bridge and wheelhouse, a world first! The boat is greatly appreciated especially for its gourmet evening cruises between Lausanne and Yvoire. CGN’s first Belle Epoque boat was completely renovated between 1998 and 2001. A feature of its first class lounge: magnificent paneling from another steamboat, the VALAIS, which disappeared in 2003.
