The first recorded use of powder blue (meaning the pale blue colour) as a colour name in English was in 1774
WAAY highballing past Powder Mill Rd in Exeter. The high car detector here has been switched off, and replaced with one a few miles west at Sanborn Rd (MP-264.1). It's radio transmitter is unfortunately less powerful than its predecessor.
The Powder Tower or Powder Gate (Czech: Prašná brána) is a Gothic tower in Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the original city gates.
The Powder Tower is one of the original 13 city gates in Old Town, Prague, Construction began in 1475. The tower was intended to be an attractive entrance into the city, instead of a defensive tower. The foundation stone was placed by Vladislav II. The city council gave Vladislav II the tower as a coronation gift. While it was being built, it was called the New Tower. The look of the tower was inspired by the work of Peter Parler on the Charles Bridge.
Vladislav II had to relocate due to riots, so the tower building stopped. He returned in 1485 to live back in Prague Castle, where he lived for the rest of his life, along with the rest of the Kings of Bohemia who lived in Prague. Kings would not return to use the tower or Royal Court until using it for coronation ceremonies starting again in 1836, where they would pass through the tower to go to St. Vitus Cathedral.
The gate was used to store gunpowder in the 17th century, hence the name Powder Tower or Powder Gate. The gate suffered considerable damage during the Battle of Prague. The sculptures on the tower were replaced in 1876.
Grabbed this with my Nokia Lumia at the top of Express De Lindarets in Avoiraz before skiing some insane off piste! Bit of a debate going on about which route to take through the trees. Edited in the Lumia software and a slight noise reduction on Lightroom

Some tweeks in PS more cold tones and a little more sharpness - it is not the best focal point but it does the job for me.

I just love wide angle lens. It is fun to take pictures with real 17 mm lens. I can enjoy feel from interesting spaces/places. More, althouh it is realy extreme wide angle, the pictures are very sharp and vertical lines are not curved.

Just back from a week's trip to the Maldives, 33 years since I was last there. While waiting for a Manta ray to come to the cleaning station I took this Powder-blue surgeonfish (Acanthurus leucosternon), also called a Powder-blue tang. Just infront of its tail fin on each side are horizonal fins that are as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel!. A very useful defensive mechanism!

After yesterday's posting of an explanatory sign for visitors, here is a view of how the powder magazine is laid out today. I should point out that the barrels are, of course, empty of black powder. Whilst this might have been the height of sophistication when constructed, it no longer comes even close to modern safety standards!.
Designed by Frenchman Jean Foncin in 1798 and named after James McHenry, a Scots-Irish immigrant and surgeon-soldier who became Secretary of War under President Washington, Fort McHenry was built after America won its independence to defend the important Port of Baltimore from future enemy attacks. It was positioned on Locust Point peninsula which juts into the opening of Baltimore Harbor, and was constructed in the form of a five-pointed star surrounded by a dry moat. The moat would serve as a shelter from which musketmen might defend the fort from a land attack. In case of such an attack on this first line of defence, each point, or bastion, was fortified, so that the invading army would be caught in a crossfire of cannon and musket fire.
Of course, the fort is best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from a half-hearted attack by the Royal Navy on 13-14 September 1814. It was during the bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," the poem that would eventually be set to the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven" and become the national anthem of the United States.
On 11 August 1939, the fort was designated a "National Monument and Historic Shrine," the only such doubly designated place in the United States. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on 15 October 1966.
