As I mentioned a few days ago, I am currently looking into the production of ferric oxalate, not because I am dissatisfied with Bostick&Sullivan's product, but merely out of a thirst for knowledge.
I do not know the recipe of B&S, presumably it is iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid.
In my first attempt I followed the recipe of Pizzighelli and Hübl (ferric hydrate and oxalic acid). An interesting alternative, but time-consuming.
In the second attempt, it was iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid. The time required is similar, but with fewer steps.
The substance is not clearly defined, which makes it difficult to determine the exact content of oxalate solutions. The prevailing opinion is that the solution for the platinum process should contain 27% iron(III)-oxalate, for the Kallitypy 20%.
For practical purposes, the determination method using the specific gravity is sufficiently accurate, although any free oxalic acid present cannot be determined.
For the Kallitype, a specific gravity of 1.13 results in a solution of about 20%; for the comparison of the mode of action, the three oxalate solutions were brought to exactly this value. The measurement of the pH value showed clear deviations between the (acidic) solutions, which indicates different contents of free oxalic acid.

To obtain comparable densities, different exposure times were necessary.
From left to right:
B&S 3 minutes, P&H 2:30 minutes, Ox (iron nitrate) 2:15 minutes.
Wie schon vor einigen Tagen erwähnt, beschäftige ich mich momentan mit der Herstellung von Eisen(III)-Oxalat, nicht weil ich mit dem Produkt von Bostick&Sullivan unzufrieden wäre, sondern lediglich aus Wissensdrang.
Die Rezeptur von B&S ist mir nicht bekannt, vermutlich handelt es sich um Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure.
Bei meinem ersten Versuch bin ich nach der Rezeptur von Pizzighelli und Hübl (Eisen(III)-Hydrat und Oxalsäure) vorgegangen. Eine interessante Alternative, doch der Zeitaufwand ist hoch.
Beim zweiten Versuch waren es Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure. Der zeitliche Aufwand ist ähnlich hoch, allerdings bei weniger Arbeitsschritten.
Die Substanz ist nicht klar definiert, was es schwierig macht, den exakten Gehalt von Oxalat-Lösungen zu bestimmen. Nach vorherrschender Auffassung sollte die Lösung für den Platinprozeß 27% Eisen(III)-Oxalat enthalten, für die Kallitypie 20%.
Für die Praxis ist die Bestimmungsmethode über das spezifische Gewicht hinreichend genau, wobei allerdings ein eventuell vorhandener Anteil an freier Oxalsäure nicht festgestellt werden kann.
Für die Kallitype ergibt sich bei einem spezifischen Gewicht von 1.13 eine etwa 20% Lösung, für den Vergleich der Wirkungsweise wurden die drei Oxalatlösungen auf exakt diesen Wert gebracht. Die Messung des pH-Wertes zeigte deutliche Abweichungen zwischen den (sauren) Lösungen, was auf unterschiedlichen Gehalt an freier Oxalsäure hindeutet.

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE – ELVIS PRESLEY
Sometimes in life we come full circle
I see a footprint of my beginning
and here I am back at the start
I see the people who tried to stop me winning
but I rise above them; and leave them far behind
I draw a line in shifting, whispering grains of sand
and something deep inside me drives me on
no looking back; I am complete; I understand
sometimes in life we cannot win them over
it's not our job; it's for a greater Hand
and He will guide me on my journey
bring me safely to the shore
where angels sing; rejoice and hold me
and I will not be frightened any more
He sees in us the pain; the human burden
He sees the weight that life and people bring
He knows how much; He knows and He is certain
He will not give us more than we can take
so that in our hearts and souls we'll always sing
and when at last our cup is brimming over
He lays his Hand upon our heads and soothes our brow
and we feel the greatest love that ever found us
and we are comforted and lighter; it is a miracle somehow
and once more we are peaceful
finding joy in simple things
as darkness; shadows and all our plights
are left behind and taken care of;
whisked away on angel's wings
and soon the lines of strain are smoothed; not furrowed
as clouds reveal the stars of wonder and ethereal light
and we begin to live at last the ever after; forget tomorrow
this moment we exist; and in this moment
I am complete; I am content right here, right now.

Zo rond de middag begon ik met het zoeken van een stek voor de volgende IC. Ik stootte op een weiland waar koeien aan het grazen waren. Op het eerste zicht stoorden ze zich niet aan mijn aanwezigheid maar wanneer ik de ladder bovenhaalde kwamen ze uit nieuwsgierigheid als maar dichterbij.
De tijd vorderde en ik keek even op mijn gsm om de volgende locatie te bepalen. Daarentegen vond ik een stek voor de trein waarop ik aan het wachten was. Deze leek wel beter en daarenboven zou de zon daar iets langer goed staan! Zo gezegd zo gedaan dus ik verkaste enkele honderden meters verder. Net aangekomen op deze stek hoorde ik met groot lawaai en steenslagtrein aankomen. Ik was nog net op tijd om deze te fotograferen. Die foto valt gelukkig nog mee!
Daarna nam ik opnieuw positie in en wachtte op de IC. Een kwartiertje later was het zo ver. Achteraf bekeken had ik die steenslagtrein graag met koetjes en al op de foto gehad. Maar men kan niet alles willen en hebben in het leven, nietwaar. Ik ben al content dat deze stoere gesleepte trein er deftig opstaat.
Daarom besloot ik ook om weg te gaan omdat de tegentrein niet zo veel minuten later zou doorkomen. Wanneer ik dan een punt had gevonden voor deze, dan kwam er nog wel een grindtrein vanuit de tegenrichting zeker! Dat moeten 2 treinen geweest zijn met een half uur tussen. En daartusssen een IC. Eerlijk is eerlijk, wie verwacht dat nu!

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short and thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they make up the family Otariidae, eared seals. The sea lions have six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean.
Sea lions have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lions are Steller's sea lions, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered
I appreciate your visits & kind words of support.

In a country full of spectacular waterfalls, and despite the obvious drawback in that one can never expect to experience this place alone, Skógafoss has been the one to set my pulses on red alert each time I’ve visited. Ok, so that’s only twice - well three times if you count the very brief pit stop we made here on the long journey east to Stafafell - but the mere sight of it makes for a display of extraordinary power. Not only in terms of the improbable physics that are happening right there in front of you, but also in the hold that it will take on your senses as you stand here at the bottom. Sixty metres tall and twenty-five wide, this is where the highlands end abruptly as that huge curtain of water crosses the divide and plummets down to earth in a resounding crescendo right there in front of you. There are bigger waterfalls in Iceland, but you can’t stand underneath many of them like this. And this one has such pleasing dimensions, that clean and uncomplicated single drop perfectly proportioned and surrounded by clouds of vapour that make you wonder whether you should have brought some shower gel and a bath towel. And a thermos full of piping hot coffee to help with the hypothermia afterwards.
We’d come here after breakfast on our third morning in the area, having agreed that the misty grey conditions would suit the subject well. Ironic that when we’d passed through here a week earlier, there had been a bright rainbow right in front of Skógafoss. There had also been a large number of visitors, taking endless Instaselfies as they tripped from their coaches and raced excitedly towards the action. That day we had to wait for a space in the large car park, such was the popularity of the place. Finding the visitor numbers too distracting, we soon moved on, although perhaps we should have photographed that rainbow and made merry with the clone tool later. At that stage we were getting rather blasé on the subject, having spent the previous day photographing a particularly fine example at Háifoss. But there were no more waterfall rainbows for the rest of the trip, and little did we realise we’d missed our chance.
Arriving in the middle of the morning seemed to have paid off. Although far from empty, the car park was noticeably quieter than last time, and with the aid of that trusty pair of welly boots I was soon paddling about in the shallow river, setting the tripod low to bring that foreground rush of water towards the bottom of the frame. And miraculously in these moments there were chances to get the shot with only minimum numbers of stragglers to contend with. There’s always someone standing as close as they dare to, but I only had to airbrush two spectres from the scene here. Bring your wellies and you can often go to places where others can’t.
Last time we came to Iceland, on that final night before heading back to Reykjavík, I got what became my favourite shot of the trip in the form of “Sandwich Bags, Spray and Spectators,” where I was that person standing as close to the white wall as I dared to. And now, an hour after this, I took my favourite shot of this second adventure with “The Watchers.” Very possibly my two most loved images of all time in fact - from a personal point of view anyway. I’m starting to wonder whether or not it’s a coincidence the place delivers pictures that make me feel this happy. I’m quite content with this one as well for that matter. While Skógafoss keeps giving me moments like these, I’ll carry on coming back for more.

Ce Sitona hispide est l’une des espèces du genre les plus faciles à reconnaitre (et on est content de tomber dessus, car les Sitona c’est toujours un peu prise de tête !). Les yeux plats et les soies bien dressées sur les élytres (d’où son nom “hispidulus“) sont des critères déterminants. Il se développe sur les trèfles, les larves se nourrissant des racines, rarement sur d’autres Fabacées (Medicago, Vicia).
J'ai pu faire un stack de plusieurs images sur ce couple qui ne bougeait pas ! Mais j'ai toujours des zones floues à l'assemblage, notamment autour des pattes...
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
-Carl Sagan
The Anastasia Formation extends for 2 miles north along the shoreline with cliffs up to 15 feet high at the House of Refuge. Looking south from the end of the boardwalk, Bathtub Reef is visible.
Immediately ahead is an outcrop with small burrows, aminated crusts, solution pipes, a notch and an abrasion platform, and a mass of collapsed rock. Moving north along the beach moving toward the House of Refuge, there are several outcrops with conspicuous notches.
At the House of Refuge are prominent planar bedding, many fossils (including Busycon), small and large burrows, thick laminated calcium carbonate crusts, lithified infillings, solution pipes, notched cliffs, promontories and small coves, and many large masses of collapsed bedrock.

The most popular outdoor spa in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon, which is actually man-made. It uses mineral-rich water from the nearby geothermal power plants where superheated water from far underground is used to run turbines that generate electricity. The milky blue shade colour comes from the water's high silica content and the temperature is just right around 38oC (100oF).
