Ciudad Encantada, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural español de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años. Se localiza cerca de Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (España), en una amplia zona de pinares de la parte meridional de la serranía conquense y a una altitud de 1500 metros.
Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929. La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza. A las caprichosas y espectaculares formaciones existentes hay que sumar lapiaces, torcas y sumideros.
Comparte estas características especialmente con "Los Callejones", paraje ubicado en el término municipal de Las Majadas. Ambos lugares forman parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The Enchanted City is a Spanish natural area of calcareous or limestone rock formations formed over thousands of years. It is located near Valdecabras, in the municipality of Cuenca (Spain), in a wide area of pine forests in the southern part of the Cuenca mountains and at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
It was declared a Natural Site of National Interest on June 11, 1929. The action of water, wind and ice has made this karstic phenomenon possible. The heterogeneity of the rocks in terms of their morphology, chemical composition and degree of hardness is what has allowed their uneven wear by atmospheric elements, resulting in a surprising sample of picturesque art from nature itself. To the whimsical and spectacular existing formations we must add lapiaces, torques and sinkholes.
It shares these characteristics especially with "Los Callejones", a place located in the municipality of Las Majadas. Both places are part of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
A pedestrian walks among triangular shadows cast inside an elevated bridge crossing. Called "Torque", the bridge was designed by artists Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins and New York-based architect James Khamsi of FIRM a.d. and connects the Delta Hotel to the existing PATH system.
seen yesterday as we meandered through a Surrey Mall parking lot eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Ross had a plain, I had an iced raspberry filled, delicious.

1937 CORD 812 Supercharged Sportsman Coupe
The new Cord 810’s front-wheel drive was a decided improvement over previous systems, replacing double universal joints with constant-velocity units that enabled independent transverse springing, an industry first. So too were the Lycoming 288 CI V-8 engine and Bendix preselector gearbox. Fitted with a 2-barrel carburetor, aluminum heads, intake and pistons, and rated at 125 HP in naturally aspirated form, the Lycoming V-8’s output leapt to 170 HP with supercharging.
With a new “812” designation, the 1937 Cord offered a new optional Schwitzer-Cummins centrifugal supercharger giving up to 6 PSI boost and increasing peak output to upwards of 190 HP and 272 lb-ft of torque, figures that contributed to a series of Bonneville records set by racer Ab Jenkins in 1937, including a 24-hour average speed of 101.72 MPH that stood for 16 years.

The 1964 Plymouth Fury had a variety of engine options, including:
225 cu in (3.7 L) RG I6: A slant-six engine with 145 horsepower
Engines ranging from 318 cu in to 426 cu in, with horsepower ranges of 230–425 hp, and a torque of 340–480 lb-ft
318 cu in (5.2 L) LA V8:
383 cu in (6.3 L) B V8: A V8 engine - advertised power: 330 hp
426 cu in (7.0 L) Wedge V8: A V8 engine - advertised power: 365 hp
> 440 cu in (7.2 L) Contrary to one source that stated that a 440 cu in V8 engine was available in the 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury additional resources do not show this to be true. If anyone has additional information on this subject feel free to comment.
426-cid, 425-hp Super Commando Hemi V-8: A race-only engine
426 Super Sport 'Max-Wedge Stage III' V8: An engine for the Sport Fury that provided additional power..........that must be so secret this writer cannot find any specs on it!!
The 413 and 426 “R” engines were designed for racing and had wild cams, special heads, and ram induction. Some buyers found these engines unsuitable for weekday commuting……………( I can imagine! )
Very unusual car, from a company now best known for manufacturing lorries. This looked like a well-used and loved old thing, and nice and original. UK spec car too, presumably.
There is only one other Deluxe Auto on the roads, and 14 of all models as of 2018. I find it rather amusing that it is fitted with a towbar! I cannot imagine the 746cc engine being capable of pulling much! A mighty 32BHP and 57nM of torque.

The inspiration here is 'Torque' by Kristin Hersh. Download, free & legal, in high quality here. Lyrics here. I only discovered her music some three years ago, and now listen to it all the time. Especially since I found out about her latest album.
Just now I found this page with the history of the song. Anyway -- the photo is about this bit here where a human being's very nature is explored and questioned.

Flight safety is enhanced through the use of torque paint (aka, torque seal, torque stripe, indicator paint, tamper paint, ...) which is a quick drying brittle paint applied to certain critical parts such as push-rods or propeller bolts.
After the part is properly tightened, the mechanic applies a dab of paint indicating the step is completed. At each pre-flight the connections are checked. Any movement or loosening will cause the paint to crack and flake off indicating there is a mechanical problem impacting safety.
