El rito ceremonial de purificación sintoísta o temizu se realiza en el chōzuya o temizuya, un espacio abierto con una pila de piedra llena de agua cristalina que podemos encontrar comúnmente en la entrada de todos los santuarios y templos. Para llevarlo a cabo se utiliza el Hishaku (cazo de madera) para verter agua sobre nuestra mano izquierda, sobre la derecha, enjuagarnos la boca sorbiendo desde la palma de la mano izquierda (evidentemente, NO hay que escupir el agua de nuevo en el cuenco, sino en un desagüe), y una vez más sobre la mano izquierda. Terminamos colocando el Hishaku boca a bajo.
Este rito es una versión simplificada del Misogi ShuHo, que se realizaba originalmente en un manantial, rio o mar (básicamente cualquier lugar donde el agua no esté estancada), y que aún hoy se sigue considerando lo ideal. Los fieles del santuario interior de Ise (Kotai Jingu o Naiku, como se le conoce más coloquialmente) en el pueblo de Uji-tachi todavía utilizan este método tradicional.

The Shinto purification ritual or temizu it's done in the chōzuya or temizuya, an open space with a stone pile filled up with clear water that can be commonly found in the entrance of all the shrines and temples like this one in Itsukushima. To do this we use the Hishaku (wooden bucket) to pour water on your left hand, on the right one, wash out our mouth sipping from the palm of your left hand (of course, do not spit the water back into the bowl, do it in a drain), and again on the left hand. We finish placing the Hishaku upside down.

Water Treatment Plant at Mud Lake Britannia in Ottawa. Tuesday November 19 2024.
The City of Ottawa operates two treatment plants to supply drinking water - Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (capacity 400ML/d; constructed 1931) and Britannia Water Purification Plant (360ML/d; constructed 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. Both plants use identical water treatment processes and have undergone significant expansion and modernization over the years.
Raw water enters the treatment plants through large intake pipes that extend into the main flow of the Ottawa River. The treatment process makes use of the "multiple barrier" principle. A series of treatment steps successively remove undesirable substances such as colour, suspended particles, algae, bacteria, and viruses from the water. The purification process in Ottawa consists of the following steps:
- coagulation
- flocculation
- sedimentation
- filtration
- primary disinfection
- pH adjustment
- fluoridation

In 1939 a new law stated that every disabled new born should be reported to the government. The disabled, mostly children were taken in institutes. The government, the national socialists were heading to the WWII to create the third Reich. The race purification program killed more than 200.000 people and also in St. Jozefsheim people were killed. The ‘Schutzengelhaus’ from the Franciscans was rebuilt to this kind of “death” institute. The institute gave place to 200 beds. More than 30 children were killed during these years in this institute. In July 1943 the institute left the St Jozefsheim site and the remaining 183 children were transported to other institutes.
In 1952 the buildings were expropriate from the Nazis and was sold back to the Franciscan order. But only several years later, in 1955 it was sold again, now to the English who used the buildings for almost 40 years.
The English connected two older buildings with some new ones and a military hospital was born. The monastery became a modern hospital with two operation rooms, out patient departments and even a psychiatric department.

I went out before work to shoot this. I knew it was going to be cold. But I never really thought about how cold it was actually going to be. Let me tell you, it was freezing to the bone cold. As soon as i sat in the water I told myself I'm not looking to get "the shot" but a shot. I left in physical pain. I still think it was worth it. There are a lot of extraordinary places around us when we open our eyes.
Well I think I need a little sleep after a long day. night.
Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park.
Storm water from the road enters the inlet pool, where sand and gravel sink to the bottom. Sunlight breaks down some organic pollutants into inert or biologically usable components. Worms eat soil particles and rotting vegetation producing natural compost. Burrowing insects and mammals help aerate this soil. Plankton and algae help detoxifiy contaminated storm water.. Micro=organisms in the soil convert contaminants into nutrients for the plants. Plants absorb dissolved nutrients and minerals ans slow down the water.

Tirta Empul temple (Indonesian: Pura Tirta Empul) is a Hindu Balinese water temple located near the town of Tampaksiring, Bali, Indonesia. The temple compound consists of a petirtaan or bathing structure, famous for its holy spring water, where Balinese Hindus go to for ritual purification. The temple pond has a spring which gives out fresh water regularly, which Balinese Hindus consider to be holy or amritha. Tirta Empul means Holy Spring in Balinese.

* Title is a line from the poem Candlemas by John D. Boyd S.J.
Zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts hatte Berlin rund 1,2 Millionen Einwohner. Immer wieder kehrende Epidemien veranlassten den Ingenieur James Hobrecht, unterstützt vom Arzt und Politiker Rudolf Virchow, in Berlin ein geschlossenes System zur Wasserversorgung zu entwickeln, welches auch die Ableitung und Reinigung des entstehenden Schmutzwassers auf Rieselfelder vor der Stadt bedachte. Dieses wurde von 1873 bis 1893 fertiggestellt.
Die Versickerungsflächen wurden lange Zeit intensivst landwirtschaftlich genutzt. Das Gut Hobrechtsfelde entstand. Es war eines von vielen Stadtgütern rund um Berlin, die für die Nahrungsversorgung der Großstadt sorgten. Ab 1985, mit der Inbetriebnahme eines modernen Klärwerks, wurden die Flächen nicht mehr als Rieselflächen benötigt. 1987 begann man mit dem Ausbau des Geländes zu einem Erholungsgebiet. Hundertausende Bäume und Büsche wurden gepflanzt. Aber die alten Abflussgräben entwässern den Boden noch immer. Es herrscht ein ausgesprochener Wassermangel. In drei Reinigungsteichen wird vorgereinigtes Wasser aus dem Klärwerk verrieselt. Nach der biologischen Reinigung fließt das Wasser zu den Feuchtgebieten und stabilisiert die Wasserstände.
By the end of the 19th century, Berlin had about 1.2 million inhabitants. Recurrent epidemics led the engineer James Hobrecht, supported by the phyiscian and politican Rudolf Virchow to design a self-contained water supply system incluting the discharge and purification of the waste water on sewage farms in the outskirts of the city. This system was built from 1873 to 1893. The fields irrigated with sewage were for a long time intensively used for agriculture, largely by estates owned by the City of Berlin though not within the city's boundaries. The City Estate of Hobrechtsfelde, named after the engineer, was one of many supplying food to Berlin's population. After the inauguration of a modern sewage treatment plant in 1985, the irrigation of the field with waste water was stopped. From 1987 onwards hundreds of thousands trees and bushes were planted, transforming the former fields into a recreational landscape. But the old drainage ditches are still existent, dewatering the soil and leading to a severe shortage of water. To tackle this problem, three purification ponds were built receiving pre-cleaned water from the near water treating plant of Schönerlinde. After the biological purification in thes ponds the water is channeled to the wetlands stabilising the water level.

As mostly, this picture is completely SOOC, so no postprocessing except of the frame, no cropping and no photoshoping.
Enjoy! And many thanks in advance for leaving a comment or adding to your favorite.
Tanks from Humber had rested at Bescot, presumably some engineering or a delay on outgoing stock meant they couldn't get into Kingsbury first time around. Anyhow, here they are rounding the curve past the Purification Lakes at Kingsbury.
Season of Photographic Eye - picture 6
Week 47, Saturday
The problem with learning your photographic eye is somewhat similar to what early art photography had in the eyes of its critics. It was difficult to justify photography as an art form because it didn't yet have its visual language and some of the early critics claimed that photography cannot ever be an art form because it doesn't take any refined skills to push a button. To establish photography's place next to other art forms, photographers had, not only to create distinctive works, but also to develop photographic theories which were often pretty philosophical and declamatory. Take 'the decisive moment' by Henri Cartier-Bresson, for example. As a concept it explains some aesthetics of the photography, but also justifies why it is only the cultivated the photographer, and not a common man with a camera, that can take a photograph that is considered an art. The classic explanation of photography as an art form and its epistemology comes from John Szarkowski. He argued that much like a painter the cultivated photographer adds 'something more than originally existed in front of the camera' into his work to reflect, comment or criticize the subject the photograph is about. This makes photography, not only a form of communication, but also a mean of art if desired. In short, the early photographers had to find their own way to look the world through camera and also explain it credibly to others.
I have no interest to handle my own photography as an art, but somewhere along similar lines lies also the problem of photographic eye. For me to understand my own photographic eye, I need to be able to take photographs that differ from general 'tourist shots' and explain the basis of my own photography to myself – only after that I can say that my photography has a distinctive style related to way I see the world around me. As a very simplified and practical strategy I decided to search my own photographic eye by shooting actively and trying to learn what kind of pictures I like in my 'personal catalogue' – even if it didn't make much sense at first and I didn't know where I was going, if anywhere really. Of course I had some visual motifs, photographic ideas and knowledge with me when I started my journey, but that's the cultural part of the photographic eye. No one should think they need to invent everything by themselves (and no one has done it earlier). Instead I chose to accept these ingredients as a part of my developing photographic eye and started to, if possible with my modest skills, realizing them in my individual shots. In practice the first ingredient of my repertoire was 'the use of black' which I used to create sense of mystery, oppressive darkness and certain graphical look of the shadowy pictures which has always fascinated me. The use of black also allowed me to escape from the mundane look associated to normal daylight photography which I needed to separate this 'other' from my family photography. I was very surprised how far a single idea could take me if I just kept on repeating it – and I decided to repeat that as long as I would find my own way of interpreting the black. Now, I don't know if I have succeeded in it, but I do think I've certainly advanced in it and because of this simple strategy I am creating very different kind of pictures that I used to do before this project. In my eyes it has got to be a some sort of small victory.

Upon his arrival from the other world, the sun god purifies himself in the eastern horizon before his shining in Heaven, where the four gods Horus, the Lord of the North, Seth, the Lord of the South, Dewen-anwy, the Lord of the east, and Thoth, the Lord of the West, pour the water of life and power over him from the four corners of the universe.
This rare statue depicts king Amenhotep II, assimilated with the sun god in his shining in the moment of his purification on the horizon.
