This is Edgbaston Reservoir. It was formerly known as Rotten Park Reservoir.
Edgbaston Reservoir, originally known as Rotton Park Reservoir and referred to in some early maps as Rock Pool Reservoir, is a canal feeder reservoir in the Ladywood district of Birmingham, England. It is situated close to Birmingham City Centre and is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
Originally a small pool named Roach Pool in Rotton Park it was extensively enlarged by Thomas Telford between 1824-1829 to supply water to the Birmingham and Wolverhampton Levels of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) canal system via Icknield Port Loop. It was excavated to a depth of 40 feet (12 m) and covers an area of 80 acres (320,000 m2), holding 300,000,000 imperial gallons (1,400,000 m3) of water, and was the largest expanse of water in Birmingham at the time. It is supplied by small streams and a feeder from Titford Reservoir (Titford Pools) in Oldbury. It was formed by damming a small stream. The dam is a 330 metre long earth embankment with a height of 10 metres near the centre.
The reservoir and gatehouse were designed by Thomas Telford and the latter is a listed building in corporate BCN octagonal style.

Installation of temporary overhead structures over existing tracks in late August, 2013.
Due to the close proximity of the cutting being constructed to the existing tracks, the 1920's overhead structures required removal early and two track cantilever structures installed to prevent undermining from the construction activity along the DOWN platform.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda located in southern Xi'an and it has seven levels
Level Three:
There is a Bronze statue of the Buddha coated in gold. This is one of the most valuable items in the Pagoda. Every visitor must bow at the Buddha. On the walls, apart from the picture of the Buddha, there are calligraphies and poems mainly by famous scholars from Tang Dynasty.
The bubble or spirit level was invented in 1661 and was first used on telescopes and surveying instruments. The bubble level became a carpenter’s tool in the mid-19th century when they began to be produced in factories.
This beautiful example of a level is constructed of hardwood and brass. It was made by the H.M. Pool Company in Easton, Massachusetts. The company was originally started by brothers John and Horace Pool in 1828 but became the H.M. Pool Company in 1841 when Horace bought out John.

"Works on Paper by Yasuko Hagiwara & Mariko Suzuki",
For two weeks the work of Yasuko and Mariko were showcased at Eye Level and Victor Osborne window displays. A work distinct for parting from an analysis and creation of equally strong atmospheres.
Printmaking and Mixed Media artist; Yasuko Hagiwara, known for her intricate Viscosity technique, manages to make a study of microscopic worlds blown out to read nature under a supreme gradient of colors with transparent qualities. On an equidistant level, Suzuki presents a bright and colorful contrast with her large scale drawings and small and detailed sketches that host episodes of diverse battles, where the organisms partially slide on the visual frame she decides to show us. In these drawings, objects and creatures from nature can be found on a massive pile that interacts with characters under an environment dipped on narrative qualities, where the stories that she creates are influenced by the most recent changes on our global stage.

Dennis and Marina
Our love story is simple, but unusual at the same time.
Dennis and I met through a dating site. What happiness can you expect when you look for your other half in this way? The dating site, as a rule, tends to strip the relationship of intrigue when two people are trying to get to know each other, as it is clear in advance “why we have gathered here today”. However, after years of experience (more negative, than positive) with the opposite sex, and a skeptical approach towards relationships, I thought it was time to give it a try.
Obviously, it didn’t all happen at once: I selected an agency and they accepted me, but it was decided fairly easily. At the end of December 2009, Dennis sent me his first letter which was very intelligent, but not without a sense of humor. After this our correspondence became very active, and in a month we were ready to meet face to face and spend a few days together.
Dennis and Marina Dennis and Marina
Is it worth saying that I was slightly worried and a little nervous? I had hundreds of questions: “What if he doesn’t like me?”, “What if he’s not the same in real life as he is in his photos and letters?”, “What if someone helped him to write the letters, and he’s actually pretty boring?”, etc, etc.
Then the moment came! I went into the restaurant, where we’d arranged to meet. My heart was in my throat, and I thought it would just jump right out! Finally I saw him, sitting calmly (or at least he gave that impression) at a table drinking coffee. In one moment my nervousness went away, and it was as if everything had landed in its place. We had a great time together. It was comfortable between us, and we didn’t want to go our separate ways. In a month, Dennis came again, but already with the intention to ask for my hand (and my heart).
I didn’t need to think even for a minute, as I was 100% sure that my man, around whom I was sure, would offer me support, protection, care, and of course, love. He got on so well with my 2 year old son, and my son responded to him in the same way. What could be more important for a woman from her partner than a sincere relationship, and love for her child?

Dennis and I got together on 2nd June 2010. His parents also came across to share in their son’s happiness. His dad made the sense according to Danish tradition (as they live in Denmark). He gave us 2 very important pieces of advice. So that our life together is long and full of happiness:
Don’t let the sun go down if you feel some level of anger towards each other. Every day should end with a kiss and a hug before bed.
Love is something that you need to fit for. Every day discover something new and positive in each other, and most importantly, talk to each other about it.
So that something amazing happens, it isn’t essential that it comes from the outside. Our life is the way we see it. We are inexhaustible sources of the amazing and the unknown.
Dennis and I will never stop discovering how similar, yet different we are, but everything that happens between us is so natural and amazing, that it seems like it has been that way forever, and will be that way forever more.
Relationships need constant work, and we are ready to work FOREVER, so that this lasts to the end of our days.
St Ethelbert, Thurton, Norfolk
Thurton is quite a large place, and just above the busy Norwich to Beccles road, but you wouldn't know it from this way in. The church stands below the village top road, the houses hidden in the valley, an incinerator chimney the only incongruous intervention in the landscape.
St Ethelbert is a very curious shape. The little tower appears to grow out of the thatch, and it also appears that they ordered it in the wrong size, and didn't bother to send it back. It is in two stages - at nave level it is probably 13th century, but the top bit is more recent. I've seen it described as early 16th century, and this would fit in with a bequest, but it looks 18th century to me, possibly early 19th. It is one of those small towers that looks as if it was specifically designed for bell-ringing, although all the bells are early. While puzzling over this, don't be distracted from the super headstops to the windows on the south side of the nave.
In common with several churches around here, St Ethelbert has a stunning Norman south entrance, this one in particularly good condition. I love the way that later generations have enhanced the archway by adding to the decoration - one pattern in particular, on the east side of the doorway, must have taken hours. There is a simpler Norman doorway on the north side, but it is through the south door you enter.
The building is continuous, without a transition between nave and chancel, although you can see a large arch about two thirds of the way along which probably once held a tympanum to divide the two. I would guess that the western part is pretty much the original Norman church, disguised by later windows. The roodcreen cannot have been very big, and its shallow stairway embrasure suggest the stairs were wooden and part of the structure of the screen.
This building has two great delights, and several minor ones. Firstly, the St Christopher on the north wall. It was uncovered in the late 1980s, and at first sight appears disappointingly indistinct. On closer inspection though, there are a lot of the details which have now faded from St Christophers which have been exposed for a century or more. In particular, the azure blue of the water, and the multitude of creatures in it. I spotted a lobster, a crab, several eels, a flounder, what looks like a pike, and many others. You often see ghosts of such things in other churches, and Cautley records a similar menagerie at Mutford, just over the Suffolk border, in the 1930s, but they have all faded now.
Up at the top, look at the way the Christchild sits on the Saint's shoulders. It is most unusual - Christ is actually behind the Saint, holding his orb in a gesture of reigning in majesty. The style of the child puts this painting very late, perhaps as late as the early 16th century. They have begun to uncover other wall paintings in this church, and although nothing is understandable yet, the figure immediately to the east of the St Christopher is obviously much earlier, which may mean it is part of a hagiography, many of which came to be frowned upon in the 14th and 15th centuries, being replaced by more doctrinal paintings. There is probably part of it under the St Christopher.
The other thing that makes Thurton remarkable is the collection of glass. Books credit it with being from Rouen cathedral, but actually it is much more interesting than that. It came partly from the collection of a Norwich antiquarian, partly from the Beauchamp Proctor family who donated similar glass to the churches at nearby Chedgrave and Langley. It was installed here in the 1820s. It does include some Rouen glass, but there is also a 15th century English Holy Trinity, and a set of Instruments of the Passion. The little roundels depicting one line homilies may well have come from the refectory of Langley Priory. Further, Chris Harrison tells me that there is surviving work here of the remarkable Lowestoft stained glass artist Robert Allen who was one of the earliest exponents of the medium in the years that the English were first rediscovering it. His are the eight Saints in the west window, as well as the Man of Sorrows in the south of the nave, St Andrew in the east window and a number of other pieces on the south side.
Much of the rest is collected continental glass, but some of it is the work of Samuel Yarrington, who installed all the glass here in the church. Notably his is the church's Royal Arms of George IV, which are in glass on the north side of the chancel.
Perhaps most curious of all, however, is the font. It is elegant and plain, and unusual in that its style dates from the later years of the 17th century. Probably, it was installed to replace one destroyed during the Commonwealth. From before the Commonwealth is a sweet little brass plate to Thomas Gould, who died in 1631. It sits on the south wall, vestiges of wall painting behind it. I loved the memorial to Captain Margarum and his various relatives up in the chancel, particularly as it depicts his boat sailing across the top. DD tells me that the other Margarum memorial facing it is most unusual, in that the obelisk is white outlined in grey rather than the reverse.
I thought this was a lovely church, although perishingly cold; barely 6 degrees outside, it was considerably colder inside, and I wondered what it would take to make me sit inside it every winter Sunday.

a level 5 alert fire is the highest level a fire can be gauged. a level 5 requires the assistance of all available firefighters to help control the situation. yesterday i came across this fire incident which was given this status as the conditions, high level winds, water shortage and very dry weather, induced the flames even further. this large fire razed through this community of urban informal settlers in metro manila scorching hundreds of houses that left hundreds of families homeless. firefighters were able to control the fire after 12 hours
In the past it was a centre of London - now it is still one of its most important landmarks. St Paul's cathedral is one amazing piece of architecture by Sir Christopher Wren!

When we'd got to the station, and finally worked out that the Berner Oberland Bahn and the Schynige Platte Bahn shared a ticket office (well, on how many tourist lines in Britain, do you buy your ticket from a national rail station?), we'd missed the 1405 departure. Which meant we had to get the 1445. Which turned out to be a really good thing because on that train the return ticket is a "tea time ticket" where not only is the return price 18CHF cheaper (about £9) per person, but you get a free tea and cake as well!
NYS DEC As the Rosette sampler is lowered, real-time information is displayed on board the ship. The researchers use this information to program the Rosette to open and close pairs of bottles to collect samples from specific depths in the water column. The red line in this display indicates water temperature. The surface of the lake is warm, while the deeper layers are cold. The depth in the lake where the temperature changes rapidly is known as the thermocline. The green line in the display shows cholorphyll levels, indicating phytoplankton production. At this site, there is a peak in phytoplankton production just below the thermocline. This is called the Deep Chlorophyll Layer.
