Indein Temple Complex : On the western shore of Inle Lake, easily to accessible by boat and a short walk through the village to the covered colonnade walkway to the temple hill. Best seen is in the early morning light as the sun rises above the hills on the eastern shore. Indein village has a 5 day market which travellers can visit and each year the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival comes to Indein Village. The Indein Pagoda Festival is also celebrated every year.
Full day hiking from the Indein temples to the U Daung Mountain Monastery can also be arranged.
From the August 2016 return trip to Siem Reap and the Angkor complex:
I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
The Roluos Group. It sounds an awful lot like an investment firm, no? It actually refers to a group of three temples: Lo Lei, Preah Ko, and Bakong. They are among the oldest of the Angkor temples, predating Angkor Wat.
The three are quite near each other (obviously, as this is a “group” in the physical sense). However, I’m only presenting Bakong and Preah Ko here. I did see Lo Lei, but it’s essentially a sanctuary – a single tower – and when I saw it, there were two things working against it photographically. First was the absolutely torrential downpour. (This is the rainy season in Cambodia, after all, and I saw some rather fantastic thunderstorms, almost every day, but only a few minutes each day as a rule.) The other is that it’s currently under restoration and completely covered with scaffolding right now and, frankly, that doesn’t make for a very attractive picture. But, it was nice to see, and move on.
As I mentioned, the Roluos group is rather old. The three temples here all date to the late 9th century. At the time, this was Indravarman I’s capital (called Hariharalaya). When this was the capital, the only temple (if I’m not mistaken) that was built around the Angkor Wat area was Phnom Bakheng, which was dedicated in 907 AD by Yasovarman I.
Lo Lei is the first of the three that we visited. (Mao & I were with two Dutch guys on this day trip.) I’m glad it was the first of the sites we saw. It’s supposedly four brick towers, though I only saw the one completely covered in scaffolding. When this was built by Yasovarman I, it was on an islet. Now, it’s just a hill since the surrounding land is rice fields.
The second of the three Roluos sites we visited was Bakong (considered one of the top places to see an Angkor sunset…though most people don’t come out here). Also, of the three, Bakong is the only one that resembles the bigger “temples.” It was built and dedicated to Shiva by Indravarman I. It has a central temple surrounded by three outer walls and, finally, a moat. At the time of this visit, it was just after a rain and, like Lo Lei, it’s also currently under restoration (though, fortunately, not the main structure). It’s a sandstone structure, so would actually look quite good in afternoon light, though there was certainly none to be had on this day.
The last, and my favorite of the three, sites is Preah Ko. (“Preah” means “sacred,” which I mention here because it features in the names of quite a few of the Angkor sites. “Ko” is “cow/ox,” and I can think of that in conjunction with one other site.) So, the Sacred Ox temple, which consists of six prasats (stone halls) in two rows of three, is a site that was dedicated by Indravarman I to his deified ancestors in 880 AD.
As always, I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.
Complex 18 blockhouse
This long-deactivated site once hosted launches for several different vehicles. This two-pad launch complex was built in 1956 for the Vanguard program. The first launch (a Viking rocket, precursor to the Vanguard) took place on December 8, 1956 from Pad A. Pad B supported its first launch (Thor) on June 4, 1958. Throughout the late 1950's and early 1960's, Complex 18 supported launches of Vanguard, Thor and various types of Scout missions. The Complex was deactivated on February 1, 1967.

Oehler Mill Complex
Shelby, Wisconsin
Listed 5/22/2013
Reference Number: 13000314
The Oehler Mill Complex is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its local significance under National Register (NR) Criterion C, architecture. It is significant at the local level with a period of significance of 1862-1907, dates encompassing the construction of the mill and the associated buildings of the milling complex. Research was undertaken to assess this potential utilizing the NR significance area of Architecture, a theme that is also identified in the State of Wisconsin's Cultural Resource Management Plan (CRMP). This research centered on evaluating the resources in the Complex utilizing the Italianate Style and Stone Construction subsections of the Architectural Styles study unit, and the Milling subsection of the Industry study unit portions of the CRMP. 17 The results of this research are detailed below and determined that the Complex's fine stone and brick Astylistic Utilitarian Vernacular Form flour mill building and its two fine associated brick Italianate style houses are locally significant under Criterion C, architecture. The mill is a now exceptionally rare example of an early rural flour and grist mill and its significance is heightened by the fact that the houses of Valentine Oehler and Gottfried Oehler, the two brothers who built it and ran it, are both extant and are situated on either side of it.

This large mill complex is located in Glenham, New York, a formerly industrial area between Beacon and Fiskill. It is still surrounded by occupied company housing, although the mill itself appears vacant. The Fishkill Creek and parallel rail line (now infrequently used Metro-North Service Line) once supported a significant manufacturing center and Beacon's industry, somewhat unique for the Hudson Valley, included several hat-making mills. In a way, the whole area became a larger company town of sorts, with Texaco's research center just to the east and, later, IBM's massive facility in East Fishkill.
Hi I am Jens
I am a AFOL from Germany.
I have been building for many years but recently decided to post online. Sorry if my english is not the best.
Here is my firefly drone. He is a worker at a factory and one of my favourite models of mine.
Thanks for looking!
The complex was founded in 1791 by the Bishop of Guadalajara in order to combine the functions of a workhouse, hospital, orphanage, and almshouse. It owes its name to Juan Ruiz de Cabañas who was appointed to the see of Guadalajara in 1796 and engaged Manuel Tolsá, a renowned architect from Mexico City, to design the structure.
Tolsá's design was based on classic examples such as Les Invalides in Paris and El Escorial near Madrid. The buildings form a rectangle measuring 164 m by 145 m. These are single-storey structures which are 7.5 m in height. The chapel is twice as high and has a dome rising to 32.5 m. The complex is erected on one level, "so as to facilitate the movement of the sick, the aged, and children."
Following the death of Cabañas in 1823, construction continued until 1829. Although it served for a time as a barracks in the mid-19th century, the hospital lasted well into the 20th century and continued to function until 1980, when the Cabañas Cultural Institute, with affiliated schools for arts and crafts, moved in.

Carbonatites in the Precambrian of Colorado, USA.
Southwestern Colorado’s Iron Hill Carbonatite Complex (also known as the Powderhorn Carbonatite Complex) is a subvolcanic, alkaline intrusive complex consisting of a mix of unusual igneous rocks. The complex has a relatively high concentration of scarce elements - for example, niobium (Nb) and titanium (Ti). It was intruded more than 570 million years ago, during the late Neoproterozoic. Some Early Paleozoic dikes have cut through a portion of the northern part of the complex.
The principal reported lithologies in the the Iron Hill Carbonatite Complex include magnesiocarbonatite, pyroxenite, nepheline syenite, ijolite, and uncompahgrite.
Most Iron Hill carbonatites are ankeritic magnesiocarbonatites (also known as rauhaugites), which are dolomitic intrusive igneous rocks. Here, they can also have calcite. The ankerite component is a calcium iron carbonate (CaFe(CO3)2). Magnesiocarbonatite is one of four types of carbonatite, which is a rare igneous rock dominated by carbonate minerals. The most common variety is calciocarbonatite, which has calcite (CaCO3) - these are essentially "igneous limestones". Other varieties include magnesiocarbonatite, with dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), and ferrocarbonatite, which are significantly ferruginous, or are dominated by siderite (FeCO3). The rarest type is natrocarbonatite, which only occurs at one locality on Earth - the Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano in eastern Africa (see: www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/albums/72157646442276517 ).
Other reported Iron Hill carbonatite lithologies are: 1) nearly pure magnesiocarbonatites; 2) ankerite and siderite magnesiocarbonatites; and 3) calciocarbonatites.
Locality: Iron Hill, eastern side of Cebolla Creek Valley (Powderhorn Valley), southeast of town of Powderhorn, southern Gunnison County, southwestern Colorado, USA (38° 15’ 08.60” North latitude, 107° 03’ 13.73” West longitude)

Rondreis door het bijzondere en mooie Myanmar, voorheen Birma …, november 2013
Vlakbij Monywa, iets ten westen van de stad Mandalay, vind je het grootste liggende Boeddhabeeld ter wereld. De gigantische goudgekleurde boeddha meet van kop tot teen negentig meter. Bezoekers kunnen aan de achterkant naar binnen. Vervolgens komen ze in een ruimte met negenduizend kleine afbeeldingen die het leven laten zien van ‘de verlichte’ en zijn volgelingen.
Achter het liggende beeld is sinds kort ook een staande boeddha gebouwd van 167 meter hoog. Weer daarnaast ligt Bodhi Tataung, een tuin waar achtduizend boeddha’s in rijen staan opgesteld.
As I said the last week when I posted my Red Panda shot, this day at the STL Zoo was a great day for shooting. I finally saw and shot photos of the Red Panda, as well as this little guy. It's very rare to see, much less get a good shot of the burrowing owls here. Lucky for me that this guy was right up against the wire barrier for his enclosure. I got down to his level to get some pictures, and I think he may have seen his reflection in my lens. He got all puffed up and tough, which was funny since burrowing owls are about 10 inches tall. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
La Rochelle est une ville du Sud-Ouest de la France, capitale historique de l'Aunis et préfecture du département de la Charente-Maritime, en région Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes. La Rochelle est la commune la plus peuplée du département, devant Saintes, Rochefort et Royan. Ses habitants sont appelés les Rochelais et les Rochelaises.
Située en bordure de l’océan Atlantique, au large du pertuis d'Antioche, et protégée des tempêtes par la « barrière » des îles de Ré, d’Oléron et d’Aix, la ville est avant tout un complexe portuaire de premier ordre, et ce depuis le XIIe siècle. Elle conserve plus que jamais son titre de « Porte océane » par la présence de ses trois ports (de pêche, de commerce et de plaisance).
Cité millénaire, dotée d’un riche patrimoine historique et urbain, la capitale historique de l'Aunis est aujourd’hui devenue la plus importante ville entre l'estuaire de la Loire et l’estuaire de la Gironde. Ses activités urbaines sont multiples et fort différenciées. Ville aux fonctions portuaires et industrielles encore importantes, elle possède un secteur administratif et tertiaire largement prédominant que viennent renforcer son université et un tourisme en plein développement.
La Rochelle est située au centre de la côte atlantique française, dans le pertuis d'Antioche, face aux îles de Ré, à l'ouest, d'Oléron et d'Aix, au sud et sud-ouest. Cet ensemble insulaire constitue une sorte de barrière naturelle qui protège son site portuaire des fortes houles d'ouest et qui permet d'en faire une rade sûre. C'est ce qui, de tout temps, a favorisé l'essor de la cité océane. Deux aspects de la géographie de cette ville sont à relever et qui expliquent en grande partie le développement actuel de la cité portuaire. D'une part, sa position enclavée dans le territoire national et, d'autre part, sa situation maritime fort favorable.
Du fait de cette position enclavée, La Rochelle est restée longtemps à l'écart des grands axes de communication. La modernisation des infrastructures routières et ferroviaires a largement contribué à lever ce handicap d'une position géographique aux marges de la nation. Ainsi La Rochelle est-elle située à 472 km au sud-ouest de Paris, auquel elle est reliée par la voie express de la N 11, l'autoroute A10 depuis 1981, et par le TGV depuis 1993. Vis-à-vis des grandes métropoles de l'ouest de la France, elle est située à 147 km au sud de Nantes et à 187 km au nord de Bordeaux. Dans la région Poitou-Charentes, elle est située à 125 km au sud-ouest de Poitiers, la capitale régionale, à 130 km au nord-ouest d'Angoulême et à 65 km à l'ouest de Niort. Elle est bien reliée aux principales agglomérations de Poitou-Charentes, par la voie express de la N 11 jusqu'à Niort, puis l'autoroute A10 jusqu'à Poitiers, par la voie express de la D 137 et l'autoroute A837 puis la N 141 - aménagée en longues portions à deux fois deux voies - jusqu'à Angoulême. En Charente-Maritime, la ville est bien reliée aux deux autres centres principaux du département : elle se trouve à 70 km au nord-ouest de Saintes par l'autoroute A837, deuxième ville du département et ancienne capitale de la Saintonge, et à 30 km au nord de Rochefort par la voie express de la D 137. Depuis le 19 mai 1988, La Rochelle est reliée à l’île de Ré par le pont de l'île de Ré.
Par sa position géographique sur le littoral, La Rochelle présente deux atouts majeurs qui lui ont largement permis son développement portuaire. Tout d'abord, La Rochelle bénéficie d'une position excellente pour la navigation nautique de plaisance. Situé sur le vaste plan d'eau que constitue le pertuis d'Antioche, son port de plaisance, le port des Minimes, est le plus grand de toute la côte atlantique de France. Ensuite, La Rochelle dispose au site de La Pallice d'un port en eau profonde, largement accessible aux navires de haute mer et aux paquebots. Unique port de la côte atlantique française libre de toute contrainte de la marée avec une profondeur importante à marée basse, pouvant recevoir des navires de plus de 200 000 tonnes de port en lourd, disponible 24 heures sur 24, la ville dispose ainsi d'un atout considérable pour le développement de ses activités portuaires.
La Rochelle constitue le point d'arrivée du canal de Marans. Ce dernier correspond à un canal de jonction entre la Sèvre niortaise à 20 km au nord de la ville, et l'océan Atlantique dans la baie de La Rochelle. Ce canal, appelé localement canal de Rompsay et qui a été construit dans le courant du XIXe siècle, débouche directement dans le site du Vieux-Port. Séparant le cœur de la vieille ville du quartier Saint-Nicolas, il y est franchi par quatre ponts dont une passerelle pour piétons édifiée juste en amont du pont-écluse qui donne sur le Vieux-Port.
La baie de La Rochelle, le long de laquelle la ville s'est développée, s'ouvre largement sur le pertuis d'Antioche et est soumise à l'action des courants marins, cause du problème récurrent de son envasement. Avec une hauteur d’eau de 3,80 mètres, le marnage moyen est relativement faible à La Rochelle. Il peut cependant atteindre 6,60 mètres avec un coefficient de marée de 120. Les courants marins ont une vitesse de 2,2 km/h dans la baie de La Rochelle, et de 4 km/h dans le nord du pertuis d'Antioche. L’envasement est de l’ordre de 50 cm par an, principalement en raison des eaux très chargées en sédiments des pertuis charentais, nécessitant des dragages réguliers. Les analyses hydrographiques des eaux et des sédiments, effectuées dans le cadre du projet d’agrandissement du port de plaisance des Minimes, ont établi que les eaux de baignade étaient de bonne qualité et que les sédiments n’étaient pas pollués. La baie de La Rochelle, qui est classée en zone conchylicole et appartient au Réseau Natura 2000, est un site remarquable par la qualité de son milieu marin et sa forte productivité biologique. De grands mammifères marins y sont présents, comme le grand dauphin, le marsouin, le globicéphale noir, le dauphin de Risso, le dauphin commun, le phoque gris. On y trouve aussi diverses tortues marines dont la caouanne, la tortue luth, la tortue verte, la tortue de Kemp, et des poissons d’estuaires protégés (alose et lamproie). C’est également une zone de reproduction pour la seiche et la méduse Rhizostoma pulmo. La faune benthique, constituée principalement de vers marins et de coquillages, est quant à elle relativement pauvre.
Le déballastage des navires au môle d’escale du port autonome de La Rochelle présentant un risque d’introduction d’espèces indésirables, notamment en raison des importantes quantités d’eau rejetées qui sont ensuite entraînées par les courants vers la baie de l'Aiguillon, des échantillonnages sont systématiquement réalisés dans les ballasts.

Visits to the Legislative Council Complex by schools/organizations (2017.08.17)
Nov.4, 2018: The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt.
A cult temple dedicated to Amun, Mut and Khonsu. The largest religious building complex ever constructed. The temple of Karnak was known as Ipet-isu—or “most select of places”—by the ancient Egyptians. It is a city of temples built over 2,000 years and dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. This derelict place is still capable of overshadowing many wonders of the modern world and in its day must have been awe-inspiring.
For the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population, this could only have been the place of the gods. It is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres (1.5 km by 0.8 km), and was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years. The area of the sacred enclosure of Amun alone is sixty-one acres and could hold ten average European cathedrals. The great temple at the heart of Karnak is so big that St Peter’s, Milan, and Notre Dame Cathedrals would fit within its walls.
The Hypostyle hall, at 54,000 square feet (16,459 meters) and featuring 134 columns, is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. In addition to the main sanctuary there are several smaller temples and a vast sacred lake – 423 feet by 252 feet (129 by 77 meters). The sacred barges of the Theban Triad once floated on the lake during the annual Opet festival. The lake was surrounded by storerooms and living quarters for the priests, along with an aviary for aquatic birds.

The Egyptians believed that towards the end of annual agricultural cycle the gods and the earth became exhausted and required a fresh input of energy from the chaotic energy of the cosmos.
To accomplish this magical regeneration the Opet festival was held yearly at Karnak and Luxor. It lasted for twenty-seven days and was also a celebration of the link between pharaoh and the god Amun. The procession began at Karnak and ended at Luxor Temple, one and a half miles (2.4 kilometres) to the south.
The statue of the god Amun was bathed with holy water, dressed in fine linen, and adorned in gold and silver jewellery. The priests then placed the god in a shrine and onto the ceremonial barque supported by poles for carrying. Pharaoh emerged from the temple, his priests carrying the barque on their shoulders, and together they moved into the crowded streets. A troop of Nubian soldiers serving as guards beat their drums, and musicians accompanied the priests in song as incense filled the air.
At Luxor, Pharaoh and his priests entered the temple and ceremonies were performed to regenerate Amun, recreate the cosmos and transfer Amun’s power to Pharaoh. When he finally emerged from the temple sanctuary, the vast crowds cheered him and celebrated the guaranteed fertility of the earth and the expectation of abundant harvests.
During the festival the people were given over 11000 loaves of bread and more than 385 jars of beer, and some were allowed into the temple to ask questions of the god. The priests spoke the answers through a concealed window high up in the wall, or from inside hollow statues.
