One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
As the snow falls at Leura Railway Station, Southern Shorthaul Railroads (SSR) loaded coal service from Airly Colliery to Vales Point Power Station descends the grades of the Blue Mountains as train number VP08. Quad C class locomotives provided the power in the form of C510, C509, C506 & C507. Tuesday, 23rd August 2022.
Mon jardin descend en terrasses jusqu'à la petite route qui mène au village. La dernière plate-forme où à grand peine j'avais déraciné les prunelliers qui envahissaient le terrain n'est pas plantée : quelques pins, un frêne, une haie de part et d'autre que j'enrichis d'essences diverses souvent récupérées de germinations spontanées semées par les oiseaux -- cytises, cotonéasters, noisetiers, hibiscus bouturés, aubépines. Une prairie naturelle s'est développée sur la bande de terrain ainsi délimitée, et chaque année, au printemps, c'est un régal de voir éclore une multitude de fleurs variées. J'avoue que je n'ai pu m'empêcher d'importer ici quelques essences absentes : orchis, chicorée dont j'ai récupéré les graines au bord du chemin... Du lin est apparu ce printemps. Les coquelicots sont restés sourds à mon invitation, mais j'ai bon espoir de les voir paraître une prochaine année. Ce n'est qu'en fin d'été que la tondeuse remplit son office et dégage une pelouse plus conventionnelle.
Ainsi, sur la photo se dressent fièrement les fleurs de plantain ; encore une pousse spontanée, mais j'accepte volontiers leur apparition.
LE PLANTAIN :
« Pied de l'homme blanc », disaient les Amérindiens pour désigner le plantain qui serait arrivé en Amérique avec les colons français et anglais, ses semences voyageant clandestinement sur les semelles de leurs chaussures, et se serait implanté dans les chemins qu'ils empruntaient.
Le nom latin Plantago signifierait « plante qui agit », par allusion aux propriétés médicinales que les Romains lui attribuaient. D'autres avancent que le nom signifie plutôt « plante des pieds » par référence à la forme des feuilles de certaines espèces.
Il existe plus de 200 espèces de plantain, et le genre est répandu un peu partout sur la planète. C'est à ce même genre qu'appartient le Plantago psyllium, dont les graines légèrement laxatives sont vendues en pharmacie.

45104 ‘The Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers’ descends from the Peak District, through Buxworth, towards its destination while working the 0720 Harwich to Manchester Picadilly on Sunday 13th September 1987.
In the summer of 1987 the class 45s were fading fast, and this, my first full year of photography, included plenty of effort to photograph the survivors at work.
On Sunday the 13th February pickings were slim, but given a favourable forecast we tried our luck with the Harwich to Manchester diagram, one of the handful of remaining class 45 passenger diagrams. This shot was captured successfully, but after waiting a few hours for the return, we lost the sun on the Harwich bound train to a tiny cloud in (what I remember as) a clear blue sky. For years afterwards, when such a situation re-occurred, it was known as ‘a bit of a Buxworth’.
45104 was one of a small number of class 45/s that, at the ends of their lives, were treated to some minor paintwork enhancements, including white window surrounds, white ‘go faster’ stripes and painted grilles. 45104 still carried the name given to it 25 years earlier in 1962 as well as the regimental crest.
The locomotive was to continue in service for a further 7 months from this date, being withdrawn on 13th April 1988.

Great to get back out onto the mountains after so long!
Ha Long Bay features over 1,600 limestone karsts and islets rising dramatically from emerald-green waters. These formations, shaped by 500 million years of geological evolution, are dotted with caves, grottoes, and secluded beaches.
The name “Ha Long” translates to “Descending Dragon”, derived from a local legend. According to the tale, a dragon descended from the heavens to protect Vietnam from invaders, creating the bay’s rocky islands by thrashing its tail.
On the roof of the boat you may notice three animated drone operators who are ecstatic over a perfect sunrise. One of the sunrises I will never forget.
and white building ...
Schwellenbereiche ... die Übergänge ... mein Lieblingsthema ...
übrigens, der durch den Fensterbereich gezeigte "waagerechte" Schnitt geht durch das ganze Gebäude, der obere Teil liegt nur auf drei pyramidenförmigen Stützen im Innenbereich (eine davon habe ich euch schon gezeigt, die anderen werden folgen), die obere Etage schwebt nur dank Brückenbautechnik für die Statik ... so geht innovative Architektur ... ich werde euch auch noch eine Zweiseitenansicht zeigen (mehr geht ja nicht) ...
die linke helle, Betonfläche ist eine Springbrunnenanlage, die Hilde gut in Aktion fotografieren konnte, das Bild wird sie sicher noch bringen ...

A quintet of Freeport McMoran Geeps brakes its way downgrade toward Clifton, AZ, with a long train of boxcars loaded with copper, empty acid tank cars, and some gondolas loaded with copper concentrate.
The road from Farleigh Wallop to Cliddesden is particularly beautiful at the moment. I am surprised there are not more accidents along this stretch as one tends to concentrate on the view! I took my life in my hands for this shot as there is no footpath and the banks are steep and the traffic when it comes is particularly fast and as I said people tend to be watching the view rather than the road. I had to share it with you. www.stanhd.com/
