El Fontán es hoy en día una plaza de forma rectangular que está situada en el casco antiguo de Oviedo. Su nombre proviene de la fuente manantial ó fontán que llenaba la primitiva laguna que se encontraba en esa zona. En los inicios de la ciudad de Oviedo se trataba de una laguna natural a las afueras de la ciudad, la cual era abastecida por manantiales natrurales que brotaban en la zona y rápidamente se convirtió en zona de recreo de los nobles ovetenses. Durante este tiempo los campesinos que vivína en las afueras de la ciudad, se acercaban hasta este lugar a vender sus productos (leche, verduras, quesos, gallinas, etc.), con este incesante movimiento no tardaron en aparecer los artesanos tales como herreros, cesteros, etc. y así poco a poco se fue formando un mercado que perdurará hasta nuestros días y convirtiéndose por aquel entonces en el primer núclo comercial a extramuros de Oviedo. Tras esta primera etapa este mercado que se formaba de manera espontánea acabó siendo regulado por el ayuntamiento, el cual controloba la calidad y la entrada de productos a cambio de impuestos. Debido a que la laguna empezaba a representar un problema sanitario por su insalubridad se decidió desecarla. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII se decide la construcción de una obra de carácter público que se convertiría en un corral de comedias; tras sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones, que intentaron adecuar su inflexible estructura de patio de comedias, fue relevado por el teatro Campoamor. El 11 de junio de 1792 el ayuntamiento acomete una de las reformas más importantes hasta aquel entonces, esta reforma, dirigida por el arquitecto municipal asturiano Francisco Pruneda y Cañal, el cual diseña la plaza como un lugar rectangular, abierto por cuatro entradas y con cuarenta casillas o departamentos para tiendas, de planta y piso, recorridas en su perímetro interior y externo por un pórtico de columnas. La obra concluyó sin que se siguiera el proyecto inicial lo que produjo la existencia de varias alturas en la plaza. Los almacenes de las tiendas se fueron convirtiendo en viviendas de inquilinos y varios edificios se modificaron durante el siglo XIX aunque con ello no llega a perder el espíritu con el que fue concebida inicialmente. Ya a finales del siglo XX, en 1981 la dirección General del Patrimonio Artístico realiza una restauración de la plaza, si bien esta restauración no frena el deterioro en el que se ve inmersa la plaza y que culmina en 1996 con la controvertida decisión del derribo y demolición total de la plaza, execepto la esquina en dónde se asienta la sidrería Casa Ramón que había sido restaurada por el propietario. Tras este derribo la plaza se vuelve a construir y el 7 de mayo de 1997 es inaugurada por el alcalde Sr. D. Gabino de Lorenzo Ferrera. Hoy en día los jueves, sábados y domingos sigue habiendo mercado en las calles exteriores al fontán y en la plaza Daoíz y Velarde colindante con el fontán. También existe una plaza de abastos cubierta que abre todos los días de la semana excepto el domingo y en la cual se venden pescado, carne, queso y todo tipo de productos típicos asturianos

History:
Third synthetic life form and carrier of the Reality Engine. Like her three siblings, Paragon was built by the Predecessors to find and retrieve the Fountain of Life from its inter-dimensional hiding place. Unlike her siblings, though, Paragon was successful in contacting the artifact. Not much is known about what happened when Paragon contacted the fountain, but when she returned from her journey she turned on her creators. With newfound knowledge of the origins and inner workings of the universe, Paragon acted as an angel of protection for her home planet, using her Reality Engine to defend it from natural disasters and malevolent forces.
Personality:
Paragon is a confident and brave individual. She sees it as her duty to defend her home planet, and she appreciates every chance she gets to learn more about the people who inhabit it. While she isn't the best at interacting with people, she lets her actions show her care for others.
Abilities:
Paragon carries the Reality Engine, a dimensional generator. The engine allows Paragon to create a region in which she has god-like control over reality. When using her engine in an affected region, Paragon can move objects with her mind, manipulate gravity, control air pressure and temperature, and more. Overuse of her engine will tire Paragon, forcing her to rest between uses. Paragon carries A broadsword, a buckler, and four remotely controlled wing blades. When her Reality Engine is active, Paragon can combine her tools to form Enki, the Reality Blade. Paragon can move this giant sword at will only in regions affected by her engine, but even with such a limitation, the sword's raw destructive power cannot be denied.
Build notes:
Well, it only took 4 years to build her. I've been wanting to do this concept since I first built Avalon. While the build isn't too innovative (I reused a lot of Svella's design) it does refine several of the concepts used in Svella. Oh yeah, and the mask is painted! This my first attempt at a painted mask, so it is a tad messy, but I'm happy with it!
158733, forming ScotRail's 1L06 1359 Perth to Edinburgh service, noses past Clatchard Craig quarry on the outskirts of Newburgh on a nippy 29th December 2020.
In the shadows mid distance is Lindores Abbey regarded as the spiritual home of Scotch whisky and is thus a very important place... Blending in with the old structures, a new distillery on the site no doubt aims to capitalise on matters.
Beyond the distillery is the River Tay with beyond that the flatlands of the Cask, sorry, Carse of Gowrie.
Thats enough whisky puns for one caption.
Sláinte.
Taken this very evening at a fantastic Christmas market that I visited with friends. We bought beautiful handmade gifts & some yummy Indian food to take back to eat at their house; my first time trying dosa. For Saturday Self Challenge theme “light”.
76/100 : My 100x photos this year will all feature benches or chairs.
Shot with Canon EOS 400D + Canon 18-55mm
This was some kind of fun shot to use the golden sunset light for something creative. Maybe you can guess what you see.
Yesterday I spent another shooting day with Ed and the results are great. You definitely have to follow his stream as well because he is going to publish a really cool image of myself these days. I think I will inform you about that another time when he published it but keep it in mind in case I forget it.

This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".

I'm so sorry if I missed some of your photos yesterday. I ended up pretty busy and than encountered a headache. I will be on and off Flickr today so I will try very hard to catch up with all your beautiful photos a little later. I just want to wish you all a very happy Thursday!
Fun with light just after dawn.

Unloading is almost finished, and the 6D80 limestone train will soon form the 6H80 10.28 empties back to Tunstead.
At the time this service ran weekly, usually on a Wednesday. It was easy to capture as its speed through the unloader was so slow. Just as well, as coal workings were by then fairly infrequent as the last coal fired power station in the UK was due to close in 2024. The coal hoppers had arrived two days previously and the GBRF loco that brought them from Immingham left as a light engine.
On this day the temperature was just above freezing point with no wind, so it was on a fairly high output.
How we will miss these quiet giants that have been part of the UK landscape for over fifty years. This one started generating power in 1968 and has a maximum output of 2,000 megawatts.
Best enjoyed 'large'.
A careful look at the pile of coal will reveal two yellow mechanical shovels. They are constantly moving the coal to prevent fires which would occur due to the heating process that happens as the coal 'composts'.
Above the loggia the Cosmatesque rosette, formed by three concentric circles that refer to the Holy Trinity; at the corners of the rosette there are four sculptures that recall the Evangelists (Aquila, Angel, Leo and Calf representing Giovanni, Matteo, Marco and Luke respectively) while on the sides we find two dragons chasing a prey. On the sides of these dragons are two silted forests: the one on the right is surrounded by fantastic and demonic figures, the one on the left by the Agnus Dei and by representations of angels and Fathers of the Church. At the base of the left bi-relief a bas-relief, possible reuse of an Etruscan or more likely Roman sculpture, representing a man running, or perhaps dancing
Sand of Plum Island contains deep purple and dark grey patches. It is due to high abundance of almandine-pyrope garnet, pyroxene augite, and magnetic minerals such as ilmenite and hematite. Epidote adds some greenish hue.
This old vase/planter has been laying out in the yard for about 5 yrs now....it had a pecan tree in it that was brought from the old house, but by the time I got around to transplanting it, the roots had grown so much that I couldn't get it out of the vase without breaking it!!
The tree is now dead, and I'm waiting for it to decompose enough to free the vase!!!!
Yeah, I'm lazy......'Form and Texture' On Black

Valenza è la terza città della Spagna per numero di abitanti, dopo Madrid e Barcellona ed è un importante porto sul mar Mediterraneo.
La Città delle Arti e delle Scienze che si vede al centro della foto, è un capolavoro di tecnologia e architettura post-moderna. La creazione si deve al grande architetto Santiago Calatrava. Questa sorta di cittadella occupa la parte meridionale dell’area metropolitana; si estende per buona parte sul letto del fiume Turia, ora definitivamente deviato in seguito ad alcuni straripamenti che avvennero in passato.La "Ciudad" rappresenta uno dei maggiori poli attrattivi per i turisti; il segno tangibile e definitivo dell’uscita dei valenciani da una realtà confinata e provinciale, verso il mondo moderno e globalizzato. Una visita completa impegna non meno di una giornata, da trascorrere perlopiù a osservare le strutture interne. L’ideale sarebbero due giorni, data la superficie su cui si estende, calcolata in circa 35 ettari.
Loch Long at Dornie. While getting gear out and ready for a wee walk up the track the heavens opened up, quick shot and back to the shelter of the car..lol A really nice loch this one with plenty of ops for shooting the camera but not so much on this visit, so a return is def on the cards.
I saw this structure off the Canadian shore of Lake Erie and I was inspired to make a Kenna-esque image. Image made with my Olympus OM-D e-M1 mk2 with the m.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens, NiSi CirPL & 10 stop ND filters and meFoto Globetrotter tripod (12mm | f8 | ISO64 | 15sx8).
