El citrat sòdic (Na3C6H5O7). Hi han de diversos tipus:
-Glutamat Monosodi citrat té la fórmula NaH2 i s'utilitza en ungüents.
-Citrat de disodi (Na2H) s'utilitza com a antioxidant per conservar els aliments.També s'utilitza com a regulador d'acidesa i compostos aromàtics usual en pernil, gelats, refrescos, vi, formatges processats...
-Citrat de trisodi (Na3C3H5O) s'utilitza com a additiu alimentari per afegir sabor a l'aigua carbonatada o com a conservant.
També s'utilitza citrat sòdic com un anticoagulant en els tubs on solia prendres sang a certes proves de laboratori. En l’industria farmacéutica s’utilitza en alguns medicaments, a pesar de les seues contradicions, facilitar el moviment intestinal. En aquest cas el trobem com a conservan en aquest compost químic per a netejar les lents de contacte.
For hundreds of years the saline crater lake at El Sod, Ethiopia, has been a source of salt to feed to livestock.
Today's sphere is out living life in the real world. It's watched one too many episodes of Rick and Morty and has decided to go on an inter-dimensional trip of it's own. It has chosen our world. Quite why it is examining a moss covered wall is anyone's guess. What Black Sphere 004 will make of it would also be well beyond our range of reckoning. Perhaps it will declare war. Perhaps it will stop for a picnic. Only time will tell...
Cheers

Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Monongahela National Forest. Two of the three mornings of the three mornings of the Potomac Highlands photography workshop in September (offered by Randall Sanger Photography) we went to Dolly Sods, hoping for a good sunrise; we had heavy cloud cover and fog both mornings, but on the first morning (when this was taken) we did get a small break in the clouds that let through more light (even some color, briefly). The rocks and vegetation make this a beautiful area, whatever the weather, but I'd still like to catch a great sunrise there.

If you are looking for sod houses in Iceland, they can be found around the countryside. These are in Skaftafell National Park, last inhabited in 1946.
Dolly Sods is a rocky, high-altitude plateau with sweeping vistas and lifeforms normally found much farther north in Canada. To the north, the distinctive landscape of "the Sods" is characterized by stunted (“flagged”) trees, wind-carved boulders, heath barrens, grassy meadows created in the last century by logging and fires, and sphagnum bogs that are much older. To the south, a dense cove forest occupies the branched canyon excavated by the North Fork of Red Creek.
The name derives from an 18th-century German homesteading family — the Dahles — and a local term for an open mountaintop meadow — a "sods".

This is one area of WV I haven't explored much due to the fact that the only other time I was there I was led in by a fire road which was one of the scariest drives I had ever taken. Let me put that road/drive into perspective... It is basically a one and a half lane paved/gravel road that goes along the side of a mountain. If two vehicles come at one another, someone must back up to a pullout to let the other go by. Remember, this is up a side of a mountain WITH NO GUARDRAILS WITH BLIND CORNERS!!!
So I had stayed away from here always worried that I'd take the wrong entrance, that was until last weekend when I decided to get adventurous. I actually picked the correct entrance and even though the road in (and out) reminds you that you are in "Wild, Wonderful, WV"... it was not bad. I will be spending another day or two here this autumn exploring around.
I hope everyone had a great weekend so far. :-)
This trip was an expedition voyage from Norway to Iceland put on by UK-based sailing company Rubicon 3. To learn more about them, visit their web site:
Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Monongahela National Forest. This was the venue for sunrise photography two of the three mornings of the Potomac Highlands Photography Workshop (Randall Sanger Photography, September 11-14), but we had heavy cloud cover and fog both mornings. There was a brief interval of sunlight the first morning, and I go a few shots of it; this was about as good as it got -- no glorious illumination of the whole sky. Happily, the setting is beautiful whatever the weather -- but I'd still like to catch a great sunrise there. (Time in EXIF data is standard, rather than daylight, and I did not reset the camera's clock.)

Again, more textures at play...I liked the idea of balancing the strong detail of the roof grasses against a background with similar character.
Getting hit with flying sods I can cope with, the stones are a different matter. Laurel Bank Classic Moto-X.
Detail of the sod roof construction of several structures in Mills ghost town, Juab County, Utah.
The rectangular wooden beams are obviously old railroad ties but the vertical boards with all of the drilled holes are a bit of a puzzel. I have alternatively speculated that they may have had some railroad function in the 1800's or that they may have been old style wooden behive nesting blocks. Any information would be appreciated.
Mills was settled as a railroad town, it was also known as Wellington in the mid to late 1800's. Many early residents lived in Dugouts or cabins. There was a local general store owned by John Williams, for whom nearby John Williams Canyon was named.

Dolly Sods Bare Rocks
Monongahela National Forest
West Virginia
Dolly Sods is an area of high elevation wind-swept plains on the Allegheny Plateau. At elevations of 2,600 to over 4,000 feet, the area has extensive flat rocky plains, upland bogs, beaver ponds, and sweeping vistas.
We ventured up to Dolly Sods very early one morning hoping to get a breathtaking sunrise normally you can see many many miles over the Allegheny Plateau but when we reached the top visibility was down to just feet as fog and mist rolled in causing a surreal moody feel and look. The colors of the combination of the different berry bushes, bare rocks and evergreen tree and bushes was absolutely breathtaking.
When at the Dolly Sods two weekends ago I was taking some long exposures with the 60D and the 5D. Then as it lightened I was taking the really long exposures with the 60D only ... then using the 5D for shots in the 10 to 1/2 second range as it slowly lightened with sunrise. This allowed me to set up the 60D for the several minutes of exposure while taking the other camera and tripod and exploring a bunch of nearby comps.
In this case as it got brighter I screwed on the 9 stop ND filter and then started the shot. Came back 6 minutes later and stopped the capture. The exposure by histogram was underexposed by at least three stops of light. I nearly tossed the shot then, but kept it without deleting.
I played with it in LR, and have kept the shadows very dark and brought up the highlights so the noise is kept to be bare minimum. I liked the way this dark morning capture turned out, so glad I did not toss the underexposed capture after all.
Thoughts on this dark pre-dawn capture? Too dark ?
