Perhaps the oldest mode of transport in the world. Hand Cart Rickshaw still on operations in North Calcutta, carrying passengers and goods from one place to another. Sharing the space with Trams, Cars, Buses and yes people walking on the street. Calcutta can easily beat Hanoi or any other city in the world when it comes to co-ordinated chaos on the road.

The Harz is the highest mountain range in northern Germany and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The name Harz derives from the Middle High German word Hardt or Hart (mountain forest), Latinized as Hercynia. The legendary Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with a height of 1,141.1 metres (3,744 ft) above sea level. The Wurmberg (971 metres (3,186 ft)) is the highest peak located entirely within Lower Saxony.
Origins[edit]

The Harz is the most geologically diverse of the German Central Uplands, although it is overwhelmingly dominated by base-poor rocks. The most common rocks lying on the surface are argillaceous shales, slaty (geschieferte) greywackes and granite intrusions in the shape of two large igneous rock masses or plutons. The Gießen-Harz surface layer of the Rhenohercynian zone, which is widespread in the Harz, consists mainly of flysch. Well-known and economically important are the limestone deposits around Elbingerode and the Gabbro of Bad Harzburg. The landscapes of the Harz are characterised by steep mountain ridges, stone runs, relatively flat plateaus with many raised bogs and long, narrow V-shaped valleys, of which the Bode Gorge, the Oker and Selke valleys are the best known. A representative cross-section of all the Harz rocks is displayed on the Jordanshöhe near Sankt Andreasberg near the car park (see photo).
The formation and geological folding of the Harz mountains began during a prominent phase of the Palaeozoic era, in the course of the Hercynian mountain building of the Carboniferous period, about 350 to 250 million years ago. At that time in the history of the Earth, numerous high mountains appeared in Western Europe, including the Fichtelgebirge and Rhenish Massif. They were, however, heavily eroded due to their height (up to 4 km) and were later covered over by Mesozoic rocks. From the Early Cretaceous and into Late Cretaceous times the Harz was uplifted in a single block by tectonic movements and, particularly during the Tertiary period, the younger overlying strata were eroded and the underlying base rock left standing as low mountains. The most important uplift movements were during the sub-Hercynian phase (83 mya), when the northern edge was steeply tilted. This formed a fault zone on the northern border of the Harz (the Northern Harz Boundary Fault or Harznordrandverwerfung).
The Harz is a fault-block mountain range, that rises abruptly from the surrounding lowlands in the west and northeast and gradually dips towards the south. It is dissected by numerous deep valleys. North of the mountains lie the Cretaceous layers of the sub-Hercynian depression in the rolling hills of the Harz Foreland; south of the Harz, Permian sediments lie flat on southwest-dipping Palaeozoic beds.
As a result of the northern fault zone and the vertical or, sometimes even overfolded, geological strata, the geology of the Harz sometimes changes frequently within a relatively small area of just a few square kilometres. As a consequence of this it is also referred to as the "Classic Geological Square Mile" (Klassischen Quadratmeile der Geologie).
There is a room devoted to geology in the Harz Museum in Wernigerode.
U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod lowers members of Aids to Navigation Team South West Harbor to service aid to navigation, North Rock Light. In a partnership between the U.S. and Canada, Team South West Harbor replaces a Canadian "X2" buoy that has been difficult to maintain with the extreme weather conditions in the area.

Cadet Isaac Ssewanyana, Boston University Charles River Battalion, uses his map and azimuth to determine a direction of course during the land navigation event. Cadets have three hours to find at least three of the five points on the course using a map and an azimuth. While participating in the event, Cadets maintained a strong social distance in order to mitigate risk of COVID-19.

I found this navigation light for boat traffic thinking it would make a nice and strong contrast to the foggy evening.
This time of year it is only useful to the ducks and geese swimming in the small patches of open water in the ice.

My new Tom Tom Go 920T and Garmin nuvi 760 did not help. No new navigators can find top and largest hospital in Finland. Therefore, I have to put old Tom Tom to guide me for upset mind.
