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.
The $143,000 dollar Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the highest performing sports cars in the 911 lineup and is designed primarily for ultimate track performance. With a 4.0L flat-six engine, the 911 GT3 achieves up to 500 hp with 338 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 197 mph. You had better know what you are doing when you get behind the wheel of this monster because you could get into trouble real fast!

Farmall 656 tractor sitting next to a couple of grain bins near Alvo, NE. The coffee can on the exhaust is not a factory item.
Destined to replace the 06 series, the 56 series was introduced in 1965 with a single model: the 656. International’s Farmall 656 was billed as a 12-month worker, efficient enough to handle lighter utility work and powerful enough to pull a 4-5 bottom plow.
The Farmall 656 was released as an individual model without much fanfare. In the first production year, only Farmall versions of 656 were available. Customers could order their 656 with one of two available six-cylinder engines. The C-263 gasoline or LP engine provided about 64 horsepower at the power takeoff. The D-282 diesel offered about the same power but with more torque, longevity, and fuel efficiency.

Special:
- Many people believe the VOLVO 244 and 245 with Volkswagen D24-engine was VOLVO’s first diesel car, but actually it wasn’t.
- In 1965 the Månson-company had the idea to replace the B18-engine of the P210 DUETT with a 4-cilinder Perkins diesel-engine and try to sell them in series, needed for the heavy work like quarries, mining industry or forestry.
- Replacing the B18-engine with a Perkins-diesel wasn't easy. The transmission needed adjustments, the exhaust needed modifications, engine mounts and supports were also different and many other modications needed to be done before the engine was installed properly.
- The engine itself wasn’t very cheap so it was an expensive job. So the Perkins-project on the DUETT wasn’t a success.
- Malte Månson tried to convince Volvo to use a Perkins diesel-engine in the VOLVO 144 but that project was stopped after just one 144 Diesel-engined prototype.
- The diesel-equipped DUETT was officially not sold by VOLVO but VOLVO didn’t forbid Malte Månson AB to sell the DUETT’s with the Perkins-diesels.
- This P210 Diesel is the only one in The Netherlands and it is believed that it is the only one in the world with an original Perkins 4.108 Diesel engine. Other restored DUETT’s have different engines, like Renault- or BMW-diesels.
- The name DUETT stands for use at work as for leisure time, two cars in one: duet.

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.

Special:
- In French "DS" is called as "déesse" which means "goddess". This is also the pet name: "goddess of the way", while ID comes from "la bonne Idée" (good idea).
- The very spectacular carriage design, with plastic roof and alloy bonnet, was from Italian chief designer of Citroën, Flaminio Bertoni, the hydropneumatic suspension was created by Paul Magès, while the technique of the DS/ID was developed under the leadership of André Lefebvre.
- The ID was a prize technical cheaper "stripped down" version of a DS, with simpler technique, like a simpler hydraulic installation (required to operate the suspension only), less power and more sober equipped, like no automatic transmission, no power steering, no power brakes with a "normal" brake pedal.
- In total 1,455,746 DS/ID units were produced between 1955 and 1975: 1,330,755 in Paris (France) and 124,991 in Heidelberg, Victoria (Australia), Koper (Slovenia / former Yugoslavia), Johannesburg (South-Africa), Mangualde (Portuga), England (Slough) and in Forest (Belgium).
- While the DS/ID was popular in Europe, it didn't sell well in the United States. Only about 38,000 were sold between 1956 and 1972. It did't have the basic features that American buyers expected to find on such a vehicle: fully automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and a powerful engine.
- The ID Series was available as this 4-door Salon, as 5-door Break (Familiale, Familiale Luxe, Familiale Confort, Break Luxe, Break Confort and Commerciale) and as Cabriolet (from 1961) and as “Luxe”, “Normale”, “Export” (code C) and as “Confort” trim.
