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.
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.
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!
Originally a 19th century brick factory along the Mohawk River, currently converted into living space. Halfmoon, NY.
The Alaska Factory, Grange Road, Bermondsey, London SE1.
Alaska Factory was built in 1869 & owned by C. W. Martin & Sons Ltd. Its business was fur, above all sealskin fur, and eventually it employed around 10% of all the fur workers in the United Kingdom.
The Factory just about survived a fire & blitz damage & was in use for over a century, but is now flats.

IMAGE INFO
- The viewpoint for this historic & rare image is looking south-south-west from the northern end of Coogee Beach.
- The "bathing machines" shown here were invented & produced by Mr Harry Greenfield from about March 1885 at the Vial & Sons coach factory, Castlereagh Street, Sydney. Though similar to others already in use in England & Europe, Mr Greenfield added an ingenious shark-proof cage mechanism that bathers could keep within, if they felt it necessary.
- The machines shown here would likely have first appeared at Coogee Beach sometime during September 1886, since Randwick Council gave approval for their immediate use on Coogee Beach on 31 August 1886. Not all councillors were in favor!
- The image is therefore dated September 1886.

PROCESS INFO
- I downloaded a copy of the digitized original (large file size & very faded, with a lot of cracked emulsion damage).
- Using Adobe Photoshop CS Windows, I cropped out the worst blurred & damaged top & side sections, enlarged the resulting image, then repaired much of the remaining image, removing thousands of cracked emulsion artifacts, restoring contrast, sharpness & lastly applying an adjusted sepia duo-tone curve for much better dynamic range.
- I resisted attempting to remove the remaining thousands of cracking artifacts from the sand areas & some of the water areas, since they only become a bit annoying at full zoom (my mouse recorder tells me I had made over 25,000 clicks, 10,000 zoom scrolls clicks & covered 1 km already to get the image to this stage, so I wasn't about to expend that much again for a "more perfect" result!)
(Swedish: Forsviks Bruk) The Worker's lodge, then 23 rooms (built in 1861). Nowadays a youth hostel. The traditional red paint contains pigment from the copper-mine in Falun, Dalecarlia.
600 years of industrial history: In 1410 Cecilia Jonsdotter Roos donated the Forsvik farm to the convent in Vadstena and when the monastery took it over there was already a flour mill on the farm.
The buildings in the factory area are listed buildings (Swedish: byggnadsminnen) and enjoy the strongest legal cultural and historical protection available.
