The Cotonificio Cantoni was one of the most important examples of the Italian textile industry in the 20th century. Founded in 1828 in Legnano, the company began as a small textile workshop and quickly developed into a large factory, becoming the largest cotton company in Italy for a long time.

Principal frontage of the former Aladdin Lamps factory built in 1931. After the factory closed, the main manufacturing area was demolished and the offices incorporated into a B&Q superstore. This has now closed too.
Factory Butte is an incredible landscape in Southern Utah. It's not in a national park and sadly the BLM has reopened the ground up to Offroad Vehicles. There are several OHV opportunities in the area adjacent to this area so I don't understand the need for opening this particular area up. I do understand that off-road recreationalists probably have a different opinion and respect that but do believe in the value of protecting our lands.
Went on a delightful tour of the Taza chocolate factory in Somerville this afternoon - very informative with plenty of samples along the way.
Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!

Páramo Ecosistema
Las alturas van desde 2.500 hasta 3.600 m.s.n.m. Alta humedad y viento seco. Son considerados fábricas de agua. La vegetación predominante son los frailejones, guardarocíos, macollas y musgos, entre otras.
En la franja de alta montaña tropical, por encima de los 3.000 metros, comienzan los pajonales y frailejonales abiertos: el paisaje que le da su identidad al páramo. La mayoría de especies de frailejón están cubiertas de un suave vello que las protege de los drásticos cambios climáticos. Muchas plantas del páramo pueden absorber hasta 40 veces su peso en agua. El humus negro, especialmente el de las turberas, posee hasta un 98% de agua. La mayoría de las estrellas hidrográficas del país se generan en áreas de páramos.
Solamente media docena de países en el planeta tienen el privilegio de contar con ecosistemas de páramo. Colombia no solamente posee la mayor superficie de páramos en el mundo, sino también la mayor cantidad de páramos independientes. En Colombia se encuentra el 98% de las especies vegetales de páramo que existen en el mundo.
Los páramos son sumamente importantes para la generación y regulación del agua, a la vez que contribuyen a la regulación climática gracias a su capacidad de absorber gas carbónico.
