Broto, Sobrarbe, Aragón, España.
Broto es un municipio de España en la provincia de Huesca, Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón. Tiene un área de 128,50 km² con una población de 531 habitantes (INE 2018) y una densidad de 4,28 hab/km².
La villa de Broto es la cabecera natural del Valle de Broto, y tradicionalmente ha sido el lugar de reunión del Conzello de Broto, una institución del valle que antiguamente hacía las veces de parlamento y diputación de todos los pueblos del mismo, donde se debían tomar todas las decisiones que implicasen a los vecinos de éste; concesiones de explotaciones forestales y agropecuarias, regulaciones económicas y arrendamientos, facerías (especialmente importantes en este lugar las que lo unían con el valle francés de Barèges), tribunal, etc. La institución todavía es funcional hoy en día, aunque en un grado mayor de como lo estaba antiguamente, hoy en día es gobernada sobre todo por los núcleos de Broto y la vecina Torla-Ordesa. Sus funciones están hoy muy menguadas respecto al grado de autonomía de que gozaba con los antiguos fueros, dado que contaba con auspicio de la casa real aragonesa, siendo por primera vez regulado su funcionamiento en el siglo XIII.
El Conzello efectuaba sus reuniones dentro del edificio de la Cárcel, que además incluye dependencias que se utilizaron hasta el siglo XVIII como prisión, y donde algunos de los reclusos realizaron grabados en las paredes, algunos de ellos con singular destreza, que se han convertido en uno más de los múltiples atractivos de la villa, siendo visitables en fechas concretas.
El núcleo de Broto se estructura en torno a la carretera nacional, llamada Avenida de Ordesa a su paso por la villa, con todos los comercios abiertos a ella. La iglesia se encuentra en la parte más elevada del pueblo, al mismo lado de la carretera que la cárcel, aunque esta segunda se encuentra más cerca del río. Por el lado sur de la carretera cabe buscar la Plaza de las Herrerías (también llamada "de la Santa Cruz" o "de los Porches") que constituye una de las visiones más hermosas de la población.
Los dos barrios que componen Broto están separados uno a cada orilla del Ara, con el barrio de la Santa Cruz en el norte, y en el sur el llamado Barrio de los Porches. Es una costumbre muy arraigada en los pueblos del Alto Aragón considerar y nombrar como barrios diferentes simples agrupaciones de casas que, como en este caso, están separadas únicamente por un curso de agua sobre el cual se levanta un puente. Antiguamente ambos barrios estaban unidos por un único puente medieval que fue desgraciadamente destruido en el transcurso de la Guerra Civil (cabe destacar la crudeza que alcanzó dicho conflicto en esta zona de Aragón, llegando a su punto cumbre con el fenómeno llamado la Bolsa de Bielsa). Hoy en día entre ambos barrios la carretera circula por un puente de hormigón.
Actualmente, puente románico sólo se conserva el que cruza por encima del río Sorrosal junto a la llamada Cascada del Sorrosal, un salto de agua que se precipita de una pared de roca hasta caer por debajo de la villa de Broto. El puente del Sorrosal está hoy en día cerrado al tránsito de personas que tienen que pasar por un puente paralelo habilitado a pocos metros y que, así mismo, conduce al vecino lugar de Oto.
Broto is a municipality of Spain in the province of Huesca, Autonomous Community of Aragon. It has an area of 128.50 km² with a population of 531 inhabitants (INE 2018) and a density of 4.28 inhabitants / km².
The town of Broto is the natural head of the Broto Valley, and traditionally it has been the meeting place of the Conzello de Broto, an institution of the valley that formerly served as parliament and deputation of all the towns of the same, where they had to take all decisions involving its neighbors; forest and agricultural exploitation concessions, economic regulations and leases, faceries (especially important in this place those that linked it with the French valley of Barèges), court, etc. The institution is still functional today, although to a greater degree than it was in the past, today it is governed mainly by the towns of Broto and neighboring Torla-Ordesa. Today its functions are greatly diminished with respect to the degree of autonomy it enjoyed with the old fueros, since it was sponsored by the Aragonese royal house, its operation being regulated for the first time in the 13th century.
The Conzello held its meetings inside the Prison building, which also includes rooms that were used as a prison until the 18th century, and where some of the inmates made engravings on the walls, some of them with singular skill, which have become one more of the multiple attractions of the town, being visited on specific dates.
The nucleus of Broto is structured around the national highway, called Avenida de Ordesa as it passes through the town, with all the shops open to it. The church is located in the highest part of town, on the same side of the road as the jail, although the latter is closer to the river. On the south side of the road, you can look for the Plaza de las Herrerías (also called "de la Santa Cruz" or "de los Porches") which constitutes one of the most beautiful views of the town.
The two neighborhoods that make up Broto are separated, one on each bank of the Ara, with the Santa Cruz neighborhood in the north and the so-called Barrio de los Porches in the south. It is a deeply rooted custom in the towns of Alto Aragón to consider and name as different neighborhoods simple groupings of houses that, as in this case, are separated only by a watercourse over which a bridge rises. Formerly both neighborhoods were linked by a single medieval bridge that was unfortunately destroyed in the course of the Civil War (it is worth noting the harshness that this conflict reached in this area of Aragon, reaching its peak with the phenomenon called the Bielsa Stock Exchange) . Today between the two neighborhoods the road runs over a concrete bridge.
Currently, the only surviving Romanesque bridge is the one that crosses over the river Sorrosal next to the so-called Cascada del Sorrosal, a waterfall that falls from a rock wall until it falls below the town of Broto. The Sorrosal bridge is nowadays closed to the transit of people who have to go through a parallel bridge enabled a few meters away and that, likewise, leads to the neighboring place of Oto.
They fly sooo fast when directly overhead..favored to close in on this one in the short instant available.
Taken for Saturday Self Challenge 19/03/2022 - Decorative .
First thought for this was the upper window in a big posh house , however , Jan did mention railways and they are always good for some embellishment on the older architecture . Here on this station the pillar supports to the station canopy are functional but on the load spreading supports at the top are quite decorative . I first tried a compressed view on platform two but not happy as I clipped the top a bit too tight plus a gutter got in the way from whichever end I took the shot . Platform one one the other hand presented a clear shot of the whole line of pillars with their elaborate top sections .
Also in shot is a passenger waiting on a seat , not sure about how he looks , but then this is the London platform - not a place to look forward to visiting as far as I am concerned .

Please, stop the degradation of Flickr! Stop the development of the new layout! Stop those stupid homepage and stop that even dumber Justified View hassle! It's ugly, unusable and time and bandwidth consuming!
Look at what's left and give us back all the functionality that you have removed the last few years! Then Flickr work again the good way!
Perhaps you should first consider yourself a while really work with Flickr, then you see that you are totally wrong!

This is the new 54,000 square metres large concert, congress and hotel complex in Malmö. The building consists of a composition of cubic volumes that are mutually twisted and given different sizes to meet the directions and building heights of the surrounding city. The façades are designed with a homogeneous expression to make the composition appear as one architectonic sculpture.
The new cultural centre becomes an open, expressive and dynamic building that is manifold in both its activities and its architecture. The point of departure for the building design is the modern Scandinavian architectural tradition with the clear functional organisation and the accessible and open ground floor lay-out. The building becomes the focal point and a landmark for Malmö – a place where the spirit of the city, the diversity and the intimacy is given an architectonic expression.
( Welcome ..... nice to have you here. )
Walter Schrempf's blueprint of the building was the winner of an architecture competition in the year 1963. Then, he invited Otto Herbert Hajek to reshape his draft artificially to overcome the comtemporary paradigmatic sobriety of the 1960's. The realisation of the building started in 1966, after Hajek had presented his version to the commission of the university.
The result of the architect’s and sculptor’s collaboration is a functional modern architecture, which opens up to the technical age and uses new materials, and is also a space sculpture at the same time. Naked concrete contrasts with a vivid coloration through yellow, red and blue surfaces. Geometric elements, which are arranged like a box, determine the spatial effect. The interior is divided by plastic concrete elements in various large levels and units.
The building has been built as a "Student House" in which all services for the students are included: dining hall, administration for the students services like financial support, recreational facility, theatre hall, café, event room. All these functions are still existing today.
The building is a historical monument.

The Old Idaho Penitentiary State Historic Site was a functional prison from 1872 to 1973 in the western United States. The first building, also known as the Territorial Prison, was constructed in the Territory of Idaho in 1870. The territory was less than ten years old when the prison was built east of Boise. From its beginnings as a single cell house, the penitentiary grew to a complex of several distinctive buildings surrounded by a 17-foot-high (5.2 m) sandstone wall. The stone was quarried from the nearby ridges by the resident convicts, who also assisted in later constructions.
Rocketdyne produced seven serialized high-fidelity F-1 engine mock-ups. Although non-functional, they were used for early engineering purposes. Most are/were? mounted on test (i.e., non-flight) Saturn V first stages.
In this photograph, the second of these, FM-101 (the first being FM-100), was featured in a paper written by D. E. Aldrich & D. J. Sanchini of the Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation. See:
heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/fm-101/fm-101.jpg
“I don't know exactly when FM-101 (or any of these engine mock-ups) were manufactured, but they certainly reflect an early design:
- There is no provision for thermal insulation.
- There is no interface panel.
- The fuel high-pressure ducts are straight, rather than the "U"-shaped ducts which characterized later production engines.
- The LOX dome has twin-elbow inlets.
F-1 engine mock-up FM-103 is on display in the Kennedy Space Center Rocket Garden (where, oddly enough, it is completely painted silver).”
The direct copy/paste above is in quotations, along with my paraphrasing from Mike Jetzer’s superlative “HEROIC RELICS” website, which he gleaned from Alan Lawrie’s book “Saturn” and a paper, “Saturn V Booster – The F-1 Engine”, by D. E. Aldrich, located in the Saturn V Collection, Dept. of Archives/Special Collections, M. Louis Salmon Library, University of Alabama in Huntsville, at:
heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/fm-101.html
I’m hoping the above is no longer the case, and that FM-103 was moved out of the elements into the Apollo/Saturn V Center.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Hamilton Waterworks, also known as the Hamilton Waterworks Pumping Station, is a National Historic Site of Canada located in Hamilton, Ontario. It is an industrial water works structure built in the Victorian style, and a rare example of such a structure in Canada to be "architecturally and functionally largely intact". It is currently used to house the Museum of Steam and Technology.
Its construction began in 1856, with the work contracted to local stonemason George Worthington, and was completed by 1859. It was opened on 18 September 1860 by Edward VII, at the time the Prince of Wales, during a two-month royal tour to Canada. It was formally designated a heritage site on 17 November 1977, and listed as a National Historic Site of Canada on 12 June 2007.
The complex is located adjacent to Globe Park, with Queen Elizabeth Way to the east and Woodward Avenue to the west. There are several components to the site. The pump house used steam pressure to pump water 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Lake Ontario to a reservoir above the Niagara Escarpment, the boiler house generated the steam, the chimney exhausted the smoke, and the woodshed stored the fuel, initially wood and later coal. The water was distributed to the city's buildings through pipes by gravity.
The interior of the Italianate pump house building retains its original machinery, floors, and balustrades. Two Woolf Compound Engines were originally installed, each one a condensing rotative beam engine producing 100 hp built in Dundas. A massive stone structure was built around each 90-ton, 14-metre (46 ft) engine for support. One of these steam engines still operates, now powered by an electric motor.
The 150-foot (46 m) chimney is built of brick atop a large stone base consisting of two types of stone. Both the yellow-brown bioturbated Eramosa dolomite and the grey Whirlpool cross-bedding and laminated sandstone were quarried at Stoney Creek.

If you were not convinced yet why you should become vegetarian in the South, this photo should.
Not for the beauty of the shot but quite more functional informative, you should know that there are not so many frigs in the South so the meat is slaughtered and sold as fast as possible before it's eaten by all the flies. It is even worse in Chennai on the fish-market, walking there you get the flies all over you.
On top you don't need the proteins because it is very hot here and soon you will get intoxicated by consuming too much of proteins, your lever just can't cope with it, you get ulcers on most unexpected places like above the eyes, I had once, doctor’s advice: eat vegetarian and within a few days it was gone.
A lot of Kashmirian people here, runaways from war, mostly business-men, still eat a lot of goat or sheep as they bring along their food habits from the North. Often they get ulcers too.
No clients for the rest of goat hanging there he repaired his chain.

Sciacca's biggest industry is fishing and the town's fishing harbour is large and functional rather than picturesque. Around 500 boats are based here. The port can be reached down a road or flights of steps from the main part of town, which is perched up above. Although it isn't picture-postcard pretty, the harbour offers a chance to see a real working fishing industry, get views back towards the town, and to enjoy incredibly fresh seafood at one of the restaurants in this part of Sciacca
