the Torre dell'Arenella, part of the complex of the Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc ... was built in 1852 by Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), who had called a Dutchman to draw up the project. It served as a windmill or mechanical mill to grind sumac, a grass which, reduced to powder, was indispensable for the tanning of hides.
It worked for a few years, the exports were booming, then the workers began to get smart, mixing fake herb powder with that of the precious sumac, the result: the mill closed and business in smoke.
The tower also served as a lighthouse, as reported by an old nautical map of the port.
Arenella perhaps owes its name to the fine sand that once covered its coast.

la Torre dell'Arenella, facente parte del complesso della Tonnara, Quattro Pizzi etc...fu fatta costruire nel 1852 da Don Vincenzo Florio Sr. (1799-1868), che aveva chiamato un olandese per redigerne il progetto. Ebbe funzione di mulino a vento o meccanico per macinare il sommacco, un'erba, che, ridotta in polvere, era indispensabile per la concia delle pelli.
Funzionò per qualche anno, le esportazioni a gonfie vele, poi le maestranze cominciarono a fare i furbi, mescolando polvere di erbe fasulle a quella del prezioso sommacco, risultato: mulino chiuso e affari in fumo.
La torre ebbe anche funzione di Faro, come riportato da una vecchia carta nautica del Porto .
L'Arenella forse deve il suo nome alla fina sabbia che una volta ricopriva il suo litorale .

The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (Melloria quoyi). Currawongs have yellow eyes, whereas Magpies have red-brown eyes and Butcherbirds have very dark brown, almost black eyes. It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid. The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill. The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground. Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests. 6966

The Monumental complex of Valsanzibio was brought to its contemporary magnificence in the second half of the Seventeenth Century by the Venetian noble Giovani Francesco Barbarigo, assisted by his sons Antonio and Gregorio. In fact, it was this last son, the first-born, Gregorio—Cardinal and Bishop of Padua and future saint—who inspired the symbolic meaning of the plan drawn by Luigi Bernini— the top Vatican architect and fountain expert. The then Cardinal Gregorio Barbarigo, as the result of a solemn ‘vow’ made by his Father to our God in 1631 , desired the garden of Valsanzibio to be a monumental, symbolic pathway to perfection; a journey that brings man from the false to the
truth, from ignorance to revelation.

Atacama Cosmology Telescope on Cerro Toco, just north of the Llano de Chajnantor.
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is a six-metre telescope on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in the north of Chile, near the Llano de Chajnantor Observatory. It is designed to make high-resolution, microwave-wavelength surveys of the sky in order to study the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). At an altitude of 5,190 metres (17,030 ft), it is one of the highest permanent, ground-based telescopes in the world.
Erected in the (austral) autumn of 2007, ACT saw first light on 22 October 2007 with its science receiver, the Millimeter Bolometer Array Camera (MBAC), and completed its first season in December 2007. It began its second season of observations in June 2008.
The project is a collaboration between Princeton University, Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, NASA/GSFC, the Johns Hopkins University, the University of British Columbia, NIST, the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Cardiff University, Rutgers University, the University of Pittsburgh, Columbia University, Haverford College, West Chester University, INAOE, LLNL, NASA/JPL, the University of Toronto, the University of Cape Town, the University of Massachusetts Amherst and York College, CUNY. It is funded by the US National Science Foundation.

"Cascade Complex" in Yerevan is an architectural complex on the hillside, located north of city center.
Externally, they look as great stairs, decorated with flowerbeds, fountains, sculptures and contemporary chaczkarami (plates with a carved Armenian cross). The name comes from fountains that flow down of cascade.
The first caskades project at the beginning of 20th century was developed by architect Alexander Tamanian. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of joining Armenia to the USSR, in 1970 this great construction project was returned. Work began only in 1980, but after the earthquake in 1988 and the breakup of the Soviet Union, the work was stopped.
In 2001, the building was taken over by Armenian millionaire, philanthropist and collector Gerard Cafesjian who lived in the United States. He decided to transform the whole into a museum with an exhibition of modern art.

Kaskady w Erywaniu to kompleks architektoniczny na zboczu wzgórza, położony na północ od centrum miasta.
Zewnętrznie prezentują się jako wielkie schody, ozdobione kwietnikami, fontannami, rzeźbami oraz współczesnymi chaczkarami (płytami z rzeźbionym krzyżem ormiańskim). Nazwa wywodzi się od fontann, które spływają po progach na kształt kaskady.
Pierwszy projekt Kaskad na początku XX wieku opracował architekt Aleksander Tamanian. Dla uczczenia 50-lecia przyłączenia Armenii do ZSRR, w latach 70 tych XX wieku powrócono do tego wielkiego projektu budowlanego. Prace rozpoczęto dopiero w 1980, ale po trzęsieniu ziemi w 1988 i rozpadzie Związku Radzieckiego, prace przerwano.
W 2001 roku budowę przejął żyjący w Stanach Zjednoczonych ormiański milioner, filantrop i kolekcjoner Gerard Cafesjian. Zdecydował się przekształcić całość w muzeum z ekspozycją sztuki nowoczesnej.
This is the view of the Beartooth Plateau Ridge and Moon Creek Valley as seen fromm the Beartooth Highway. Rock Creek Canyon lies between Moon Creek Valley and the Highway. The pullout, from which the photo was taken, is located in Wyoming while most of the peaks in the photo lie in Montana. The features in the photo are from left to right; Spirit Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and the flanks of Mount Reargaurd on the Hellroaring Plateau. The rocks exposed here are part of an Archean metamorphic-igneous complex. They range in age between 3.6 and 2.7 billion years. These old rocks represent a time when Wyoming was a separate microcontinent called the Wyoming Craton which existed 500 million years before the North American Continent formed. The current topography was carved by glaciers that covered the plateaus and flowed down valleys.

The weather was non too welcoming for our return trip to the standing stones. Salisbury Plain is infamous for the freezing winds that whip across it in winter time and that was the case on this day.
On top of this, storm clouds were gathering, but I struck it lucky after a long, cold wait when the sun broke through for a few seconds and lit up the stones so beautifully.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England. It consists of a ring of standing stones, with each standing stone weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
