Turf Club is a so-called "white" filly. I'd call her roan. She is the most stunning colored Thoroughbred I've ever seen, looking more like a mustang!

Where the turf meets the surf
down at old Del Mar
take a plane
take a train
take a car.
There is a smile on every face
and a winner in each race
where the turf meets the surf
at Del Mar.
I mosaiced this old vase with the seashell treasures I found while walking the beaches in Florida this past winter. I love that I can see them everyday and it hides that funky water line that are in clear vases.

Waar op de vorige foto de achtergrond is, is deze foto genomen die iets meer het karakter van een veldbaan weergeeft. Deze keer is het Schöma 76947 die met een beladen turftrein richting de fabriek rijdt. De veldbaan heeft overigens een spoorwijdte van 600 mm.
De foto is op 7 maart 2014 genomen net buiten Sedelsberg.
Turf houses at Glaumbær. The buildings of the farm group date from different periods of the 19th century and all were built in the turf construction style, which was universal in rural Iceland until about the turn of the 19th century. Then it was gradually replaced by reinforced concrete, which is typical of most contemporary Icelandic construction. The Nordic ancestors of the Icelanders had built for the most part of wood. Extensive turf construction evolved in Iceland owing to acute shortage of large trees. Hence, the buildings at Glaumbaer are the thin shells of wood, all imported, separated from each other and insulated by thick walls of turf, and roofed with a thick layer of sod. The Icelandic grass grows very thickly making this turf and sod strong intertextures of roots and soil.
Such buildings in areas of moderate precipitation can last a century. The roof’s slope must be sloped at the right angle. If it is too steep, the sods crack during dry spells and the grass drains too quickly and withers and water will get through. The same happens if the roofs are too flat and the sods get saturated with water. It is too difficult to erect large structures of turf and sod. Therefore the Icelandic farm was a complex of small, separate buildings. The most used of those were united by a central corridor, but tool and storehouses could only be accessed from outside. The corridor at Glaumbær is about 69 feet (21m) long and provides access to 9 of the 13 houses of the farm. Two intermediate doors along the corridor in addition to the front door kept cold from penetrating the living quarters.
