Vitinn var hlaðinn úr grjóti, sem lagt var í sandsteypu, og múrhúðuð að utanverðu. Utanmál eru 4,1 x 4,9 metrar, útveggir misþykkir, frá 40 upp í 80 cm. Loft er aðeins yfir litlum hluta vitans með litlum turni, sem gekk upp úr þaki og var ljósbúnaður í honum. Bárujárn á þaki er bikað. Í vitanum er herbergi ætlað gæslumanni, sem ætlað var að dvelja í vitanum, þegar þurfa þótti. Hann var byggður 1899 og endurnýjaður 1908 og 1918.
Nýr viti var reistur á Dalatanga árið 1908 úr steinsteypu og voru þá ljóstæki gamla vitans flutt í nýjan vita á Brimnesi, nokkru norðar.
Veggir gamla vitans voru illa farnir og þak að falli komið, þegar ákveðið var að gera hann upp í upphaflegri mynd á níunda áratug tuttugustu aldar. Viðgerðir fóru fram árið 1985 og voru þær kostaðar af Siglingamálastofnun Íslands. Hefur vitanum verið sinnt reglulega síðan. Þjóðminjasafn Íslands kom fyrst að málum árið 2003.

More information about Kunming lake and the Summer Palace in Beijing can be found at my website: www.abookaboutchina.com/location/Summer-Palace
Kunming Lake (昆明湖) forms the centre of the Summer Palace gardens in Beijing, China. In fact, the lake takes up most of the parks area, covering 2.2 square kilometres or three quarters of the garden grounds. The lake is relativly shallow, with a depth of just 1.5 mtres. The lake is largely man made though a small pond existed on the site before development. The lake was created by Guo Shoujing, originally as a reservoir for the nearby capital, during the Yuan dynasty (1291). The area was converted into the imperial garden between 1750 and 1764, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Work was undertaken to expand the existing lake at that time. The spoil from excavating the lake was used to form the nearby Longevity Hill. The lake develops a thick lair of ice during the winter, during which time it can be used for skating. In the summer, a large number of small boats cover the lake.
The Castle of Miramare
travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2884952-castello_di_mirama...
www.mytravelguide.com/attractions/profile-78547905-Italy_...
This eclectic edifice was built between 1856 and 1860 according to the wishes of Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg (later to become Emperor of Mexico), and planned by Carl Junker. The interior furniture and decorations are genuine period pieces. The extensive park (22 hectares) is located on the seashore and was designed by the Archduke. The cliff it was built on, which had no vegetation whatsoever at the time, was cultivated with numerous tropical species of trees and plants.
AVisitors to the castle will be able to see the following: Maximilian's chambers and those of his consort, Carlota of Belgium; the guest rooms; the information room telling the history of the Castle and the Park's construction; the Duke Amadeo of Aosta's apartment with furnishings from the 1930's in the Rationalist style. All the rooms still feature the original furnishings, ornaments, furniture and objects dating back to the middle of the 19th century. Particularly noteworthy are the music room where Carlota used to play the fortepiano, now on show in room VII. In room XIX there are a series of paintings by Cesare dell'Acqua depicting the history of Miramare. Lastly, visitors may visit the throne room, which was recently restored and brought back to its former splendour.
parterreThe park offers the public a chance for an interesting stroll among botanical species and an important collection of sculptures dotted along its numerous paths. A visit should also be paid to the Stables, a building which was recently restored and is now used for temporary exhibitions; the Old Greenhouses and the Little Castle, with its original decoration on the first floor, are also well worth a visit.

Edificio in stile eclettico, costruito tra il 1856 e il 1860 per volere dell'arciduca Massimiliano d'Asburgo - poi imperatore del Messico - su progetto di Carl Junker, conserva all'interno l'arredo e le decorazioni originali dell'epoca. Grande parco (22 ettari) adagiato sulla riva del mare, creato dal committente su un promontorio allora privo di vegetazione con numerose essenze botaniche di origine tropicale.
All'interno del castello si visitano gli appartamenti di Massimiliano e della sua consorte Carlotta del Belgio, le stanze destinate agli ospiti, la sala didattica con la storia della costruzione del Castello e del Parco, l'appartamento abitato dal Duca Amedeo d'Aosta con arredi risalenti al 1930 in stile razionalista. Da notare, in particolare, la sala di ascolto della musica suonata da Carlotta sul fortepiano esposto nella sala VII; la serie dei quadri di Cesare dell'Acqua che raccontano la storia di Miramare nella sala XIX e la sala del trono, di recente restaurata e riportata all'antico splendore.
Visualizza le piantine del piano terra e primo piano del castello.
parterreIl parco offre al pubblico l'occasione di una passeggiata botanica di notevole interesse assieme all'importante raccolta di sculture che decora i molti vialetti. Inoltre si segnalano le Scuderie, edificio, di recente restaurato, e oggi destinato a manifestazioni espositive temporanee; le Antiche Serre; il Castelletto che conserva parte della decorazione originale ancora presente al primo piano.

The other weekend, while my parents were visiting, we had to kill some time in the East Bay, so we decided to go up into the hills of Berkeley to where the Lawrence Hall of Science is, to check out the great views. I brought my camera and a tripod and got this (semi) long exposure. I regretted, a bit, not bringing my longest telephoto lens, to get a closer shot of the San Francisco skyline, but this one came out alright. In the foreground is Berkeley. In the middle ground you can see the new section of the Bay Bridge connected to the Yerba Buena Island. To the left you can see a little bit of the Port of Oakland, as well. In the background is, obviously, San Francisco.

For more information about the Great Wall of China and Beijing, please visit my website: www.abookaboutchina.com/location/Great-Wall-China
The Great Wall of China is by and far the most famous tourist attraction in the country. The Chinese call it Changchen (长城) which literally translates as the Long Wall. It is sometimes refered to as the Wanli Changchen (萬里長城) or Ten-thousand Li Wall (a 'Li' is a Chinese mile or about 500 metres) which incidentally is almost right. The true length of the wall is 6,259.6 km (Which is a very precise number I got off of wikipedia - but I'm not going to measure wall and argue with them.) The wall was first built over 2,500 years ago during the Warring states period. It wasn't then so much of one wall, rather many bits of wall. When the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Wandi, unified the country, about 2,200 years ago, he joined the sections of wall together to make one single defensive line. The wall of that era, however, looked nothing like the wall we have today. The Qin wall was made of rammed earth mixed with straw and glutinous rice. The Qin wall soon fell into disuse and disrepair. For most of China's history, there was no wall. When the Ming dynasty was founded, they wanted a strong northern defence against the nomadic tribes to the north. So they rebuilt the wall. This time in stone. The wall that tourists go to see today in Beijing, it the Ming dynasty wall. Sections of the wall have been restored and are open as tourist locations. The biggest of these sections, and the most visited is the Badaling Great Wall which is photographed here.

While climate change has been causing some extremely high temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere, it seems to be causing an extra foggy (and slightly cooler) summer for us here in San Francisco. This last week I was trying to capture the fog in a few places around San Francisco and the Bay Area. Saturday I went up to Mount Tamalpais, across the Golden Gate, to catch it sinking into the heavily wooded valleys from a vantage point above it. I tried to make a bunch of long exposures, but something funky happed with my neutral density filter, so most of them are unusable. I salvaged a couple and have some photos that I captured at normal (fast) speed. Enjoy!
