Yep, underfloor heating is nothing new, the romans were doing it 2000 years ago!Here you see the columns that supported the floor, there would have been hot water from the hot spring running through here heating the supported floor above the columns

Believe it or not, there is no crop in this image.
The Palm House at Kew Gardens. I dread to think what the heating bill must be for this building - it has to be kept hot and humid through the coldest weather, with only a single layer of glass to protect it from the elements.
The Novohradské Mountains are flattish range in the south of the Czech Republic, by the Austrian border. On the Czech side they are girded by the Novohradské Piedmont and are part of the Šumava region.
The geology is dominated by granite and gneiss. The outer slopes are steep; almost all of them of fault origin, scored deeply by creeks.
The central area is level with remnants of flattened surfaces and has shallow valleys with numerous peat bogs.Most of the mountains are forested with spruce, in some places the original beech-fir growth has been preserved (Žofínský Prales National Nature Reserve).
The forced evacuation of the population from this area after World War Two has left its mark upon the landscape. The meadows with fruit trees are overgrown; the ruins of the buildings in villages once full of life are but a sad memory to relatively recent times.

Novohradské hory mountains remain unspoiled and not crowded area that is very suitable for biking and hiking; last time, we stayed in the picturesque Krakovice pension during a sunny pre-spring February prolonged weekend.
And I thought the summer is over as we approach September; I guess I'm wrong because the temperature is quite high in Vancouver in the past few days, especially at noon.
After my haircut in Burnaby, I decided to drop by at the Burnaby Mountain Park. I just stayed there for an hour or so and I already sweated like I just went for a jog.
The only thing I can priase about this weather is that it is not as humid as in Hong Kong. I guess after few more weeks Raincouver will be back :)
