Mulino a vento
Il mulino a vento è una struttura costruita per sfruttare l'energia del vento (energia eolica) trasformandola in energia cinetica.
L'origine dei mulini a vento ebbe luogo in Persia circa 3.000 anni prima di Cristo, anche se secondo altre fonti il mulino a vento fu inventato intorno al VII secolo d.C. nella regione del Seistan, attualmente in Afghanistan[1]
Erano sostenuti da strutture innalzate sulla torre di un castello o in cima ad una collina ed erano costituiti da un vano superiore che ospitava le mole e da uno inferiore che alloggiava il rotore. In passato era usato per macinare la farina o per altri utilizzi.
I mulini a vento hanno avuto una notevole importanza nel sollevamento dell'acqua in Olanda (dal 1180[2]) o in Inghilterra prima dell'invenzione della macchina a vapore.
Nel '800 negli Stati Uniti è stato ideato un mulino a vento che veniva utilizzato per prelevare l'acqua da un pozzo a scopo irriguo, tale soluzione si è rapidamente diffusa in tutto il mondo per la sua semplicità ed efficacia.
Nell'area del Mare Mediterraneo orientale in passato si era diffuso anche un modello di mulino eolico chiamato mulino fenicio, in cui le pale erano posizionate all'interno del corpo della costruzione, di forma cilindrica. Le finestre sul mulino indirizzavano l'aria all'interno muovendo le pale. Questo tipo di mulino era adatto a zone con venti deboli ma costanti. Il miglior esempio di mulino fenicio che si è conservato ai giorni nostri è situato nel comune di Borgio Verezzi in provincia di Savona
I mulini a vento in Olanda
I mulini a vento, raccontano molte cose, significati tramandati nel tempo dalla cultura popolare, quasi fossero dei segnali in codice che solo i locali potevano conoscere. Per esempio, per annunciare un lieto evento i mugnai si prodigavano a posizionare le pale in modo tale che queste potessero raggiungere il loro punto massimo (la cd. posizione d'arrivo), nel caso di lutto al contrario, la pala verticale veniva posizionata appena sotto il punto più alto (posizione definita 'andante'). Si pensi inoltre al significato dei messaggi d'allarme o di pericolo in genere che tali marchingegni potevano produrre durante le retate della II Guerra Mondiale. Un codice segreto dei mulini appunto.
Come tutti i mulini del mondo anche i mulini a vento olandesi assolvevano al servizio di macina del grano o addirittura delle pietre da utilizzare nella costruzione degli edifici (i mulini a vento di Zaanstad, per esempio, furono usati per l'edificazione del palazzo Dam ad Amsterdam).
I mulini a vento in Olanda sono un po' ovunque, la sola Amsterdam ne conta 8 (visitate le nostre pagine sui Mulini a Vento a Amsterdam per maggiori dettagli), mentre in totale nel territorio nazionale ce ne sono circa un migliaio. In passato l'usanza era infatti quella che portava ogni proprietario di un immobile a costruire un proprio mulino per una specifica funzione, sia essa di macina, di bonifica o di frantoio.
Vi potrà capitare quindi di vedere mulini in ogni parte dell'Olanda che visiterete, anche se i più famosi li troverete in particolare in tre zone: i famosi 19 mulini a vento di Kinderdijk (15 km da Rotterdam), costruiti intorno al 1740, situati in un caratteristico paesaggio e inseriti nella lista del patrimonio dell'umanità UNESCO; i mulini a vento di Zaanse Schans, un'area a nord-est di Amsterdam, dove pensate nel XVII secolo esistevano ben oltre 700 mulini a vento; il mulino a vento di De Adriaan nella città di Haarlem, costruito nel 1779, distrutto in un incendio nel 1932 e ricostruito nel 2002.
In Maggio ogni anno si festeggia la Giornata Nazionale dei Mulini a Vento, che si celebra intorno all'11 e al 12 maggio. Circa 700 mulini vengono aperti al pubblico, in una giornata didattica dove orgogliosi mugnai insegnano ai visitatori il funzionamento delle di queste antiche e poetiche costruzioni.
Ribble 1059 is a Leyland Leopard PSU3B/4R with Duple Dominant coachwork, new in 1974. Once a top line coach, it has been downgraded for bus work.
It later passed to Bee Line Buzz Co (no. 1059, later ELL739) and subsequently moved to C-Line, Macclesfield.
Singapore's Chinatown is the traditional Chinese quarters of town, and while the entire city is largely Chinese these days the area does retain some of its own charm. The area is also known as Niu Che Shui (牛车水) in Chinese and Kreta Ayer in Malay, both names meaning "bullock cart water", a reference to the carts that used to haul in drinking water.
The area between Pagoda Street and Smith Street has been tarted up considerably for tourists, but workaday Chinatown continues south and east, merging seamlessly into the Central Business District. text from Wikitravel........

Some information about singapore
Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a Southeast Asian city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is highly urbanised but almost half of the country is covered by greenery. More land is being created for development through land reclamation.
Singapore had been a part of various local empires since it was first inhabited in the second century AD. Modern Singapore was founded as a trading post of the East India Company by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained full sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Singapore was occupied by the Japanese in World War II and reverted to British rule after the war. It became internally self-governing in 1959. Singapore united with other former British territories to form Malaysia in 1963 and became a fully independent state two years later after separation from Malaysia. Since then it has had a massive increase in wealth, and is one of the Four Asian Tigers. The economy depends heavily on the industry and service sectors. Singapore is a world leader in several areas: It is the world's fourth-leading financial centre, the world's second-biggest casino gambling market, and the world's third-largest oil refining centre. The port of Singapore is one of the five busiest ports in the world, most notable for being the busiest transshipment port in the world. The country is home to more US dollar millionaire households per capita than any other country. The World Bank notes Singapore as the easiest place in the world to do business. The country has the world's third highest GDP PPP per capita of US$59,936, making Singapore one of the world's wealthiest countries.

Processamento Detalhado:
Photomatix 4.0.1:
º As três imagens escolhidas foram processadas no photomatix usando o processo de Tone Mapping no método Details Enhancer.
Photoshop CS5:
º Adobe Câmera Raw ( ACR ) = A imagem processada no photomatix é aberta ACR . Aqui podemos fazer várias correções. Porém, acho que no photoshop temos mais recursos para fazer uma edição mais refinada e especifica na foto. Neste momento, faço correção da lente e redução de aberrações cromáticas ( ferramentas específicas do ACR ).
º Com a imagem aberta no photoshop, a primeira coisa a fazer é identificar os pontos fortes da imagem e selecioná-las utilizando as ferramentas de seleção, para que possamos salvá-las e posteriormente utilizá-las para a criação de grupos de camadas. ( exemplos em outra ocasião );
º Utilizar a ferramenta Shadows & Highlights = ( a dica aqui é cria uma cópia da camada original e transformá-la em objeto inteligente. Dessa forma você pode voltar a ferramenta e alterar os valores de acordo com o andamento da edição ( exemplos em outra ocasião );
º Utilizar moderadamente a ferramenta de curvas;
ºAdicionei 1 camada de matiz e saturação para acertar a cor azul do céu e as sombrinhas enterradas na areia ( este acerto tem que ser feito diminuindo ou aumentado a saturação da cor azul, isso dependendo de sua intenção );
º Aumentei a nitidez da imagem utilizando o filtro de nitidez de alta freqüência, porém, utilizei uma mascara de camada para diminuir o efeito de nitidez na água do mar;
º Depois de terminada as alterações desejadas, achatei a imagem e adicionei a moldura e assinatura;

www.google.it/images?q=palmira+siria&oe=utf-8&rls...
**************************************
Palmira fu in tempi antichi un'importante città della Siria, posta in una oasi 240 km a nord-est di Damasco e 200 km a sud-ovest della città di Deir ez-Zor, che si trova sul fiume Eufrate. È stato per lungo tempo un vitale centro carovaniero, tanto da essere soprannominata la Sposa del deserto, per i viaggiatori ed i mercanti che attraversavano il deserto siriaco per collegare l'Occidente (Roma e le principali città dell'impero) con l'Oriente (la Mesopotamia, la Persia, fino all'India e alla Cina), che ebbe un notevole sviluppo tra il I ed III secolo d.C..
Il nome greco della città, Palmyra (Παλμυρα), è la fedele traduzione dall'originale aramaico, Tadmor, che significa 'palma'.
Tadmor (anche Tadmur; in arabo تدمر) è l'attuale nome della cittadina sorta in prossimità delle rovine, che dipende molto dal turismo.
Comunque, anche se la fonte sulfurea che alimentava l'oasi di Palmira, sembra esaurita, oggi Tadmor, con un sistema di irrigazione del terreno, riesce a mantenere viva una fiorente oasi che permette ai 45.000 abitanti di vivere non solo di turismo ma anche di agricoltura.
Origini
La città, col nome di Tadmor, nel II millennio a.C., è menzionata per la prima volta in documenti provenienti dagli archivi assiri di Kanech, in Cappadocia, nel XIX secolo a.C. e poi è citata più volte negli archivi di Mari, nel XVIII secolo a.C..
Poi viene citata ancora negli archivi assiri, nell'XI secolo a.C., come Tadmor del deserto. A quel tempo era solo una città commerciale nella estesa rete commerciale che univa la Mesopotamia e la Siria settentrionale.
Tadmor è citata anche nella Bibbia (Secondo libro delle Cronache 8.4) come una città del deserto fortificata da Salomone. La città di Tamar[1] è menzionata nel Primo libro dei Re (9.18), anch'essa fondata e fortificata da Salomone.
Dopo queste citazioni su Palmira cala il silenzio per circa un millennio, e solo nel I secolo a.C. la città viene citata col nuovo nome, che gli è stato dato durante il regno dei Seleucidi (IV - I secolo a.C.)

Nuvola
Una nuvola, o nube, è una massa visibile di piccole goccioline d'acqua o cristalli di ghiaccio sospesi nell'atmosfera, sopra la superficie terrestre o di un altro corpo planetario o un satellite. Possono formarsi strutture simili a nuvole anche nello spazio interstellare, ma in questo caso non si tratta di agglomerati di gocce di vapore acqueo. Si parla in questo caso di nubi interstellari.
La branca della meteorologia che studia le nuvole e i fenomeni ad esse collegati è detta nefologia.
Esse sono rappresentative - e sono a loro volta causa - di complessi fenomeni meteorologici, quali la pioggia, la neve e la grandine. Per analogia di forma il termine è stato esteso anche a esalazioni di fumo nell'atmosfera od accumuli che possono essere di polvere, sabbia o insetti.
Dal punto di vista della termodinamica le nubi rappresentano l'aspetto visivo di fenomeni che avvengono all'interno di un fluido gassoso noto come atmosfera; le grandezze in gioco sono: temperatura, umidità, pressione.
Il colore
Le nuvole che si formano sulla Terra sono costituite di vapore acqueo che, condensandosi, forma piccole goccioline o cristalli di ghiaccio, solitamente di 0,01 mm di diametro. Quando si formano agglomerati di miliardi queste goccioline, appare visibile la nuvola, di un tipico colore bianco, dovuto all'alta riflessione della luce (fra il 60% e il 85%) sulla superficie di queste goccioline.
A causa dell'elevata dispersione della luce nelle goccioline che compongono la nube, essa può apparire anche grigia o a volte quasi nera. Maggiore sarà la densità della nube e maggiore il suo spessore, più scura essa apparirà. Questo è il motivo per cui una nube temporalesca, generalmente un cumulonembo, appare molto scura alla base.
All'alba ed al tramonto, le nuvole posso assumere un colore simile a quello del cielo, soprattutto arancione e rosa. Attorno alla lunghezza d'onda dell'infrarosso, le nuvole apparirebbero più scure perché l'acqua che le costituisce assorbirebbe fortemente la luce solare a questa lunghezza d'onda.

Singapore National Parade 2011 - Happy Birthday Singapore
It is my pleasure to be invited and also lucky to be selected by URA/Marina Bay Singapore/Marina Bay Sands to the Skypark to take shots of the Singapore National Day Parade on 9 August 2011. Wonderful experience with six other photographer up there and of course the crew from Marina Bay Sands.....
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Belle Tan and Joseph for the arrangement.
The Singapore National Day Parade (Abbreviation: NDP, simplified Chinese: 国庆庆典; traditional Chinese: 國慶慶典; pinyin: guóqìng qìngdiǎn, Malay: Perbarisan Hari Kebangsaan, Tamil: தேசிய தின அணிவகுப்பு) is a national ceremony in Singapore that, as its name implies, includes a parade on Singapore's National Day on August 9, in commemoration of Singapore's independence that is usually held at the Padang (1966 - 1974), the National Stadium, various decentalized venues all over Singapore or The Float@Marina Bay.

Singapore's Chinatown is an ethnic neighbourhood featuring distinctly Chinese cultural elements and a historically concentrated ethnic Chinese population. Chinatown is located within the larger district of Outram.
As the largest ethnic group in Singapore is Chinese, Chinatown is considerably less of an enclave than it once was. (Note: The name Chinatown （唐人街） is usually used by non-Chinese Singaporeans whereas Chinese Singaporeans usually use the term Niu Che Shui （牛车水） as the term Chinatown （唐人街） usually refers to enclaves of Chinese people in regions where Chinese people are the minority ethnic group.) However, the district does retain significant historical and cultural significance. Large sections of it have been declared national heritage sites officially designated for conservation by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
The 'Mozes en Aäronkerk' Church at the Waterlooplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle.
Shot with a SonyEricsson S700i mobile phone cam. No editing (I might have added some contrast&saturation, but I don't remember), no Photoshop, no tricks :)
This photo made it to the Flickr 'Explore' page, yay!
Today I decided to take my 'real' cam for a spin in the mean streets of the best city in the world, knowing that there are puddles and sunshine outside, and this was the first puddle I stopped at, drooling from the idea of finally getting some hi-res quality reflection shots...but when I turned on the cam it said 'Internal memory full'....stoopid me, I forgot the memory card at home, inside my PC :D
Since I've been planning on buying a new SDHC card anyway, I figured I'll just take this opportunity to go and get one, but then it turned out I was way too lazy to go to the shop and come back, so I whipped out Mobie and shot this wicked reflection old school style, and as you can see, Mobie still rules :))
Have a nice, sunny weekend!
P.s. As you might have noticed, lately I'm just repeating myself, taking the same pics I took one year ago around this time, I hope that doesn't bother you too much, hehe ;-P
Here's the twin shot from last year!
www.google.com/search?q=Pecos+River+Flume&ie=UTF-8&am... This flume that crosses over the top of the Pecos River on the outskirts of Carlsbad, New Mexico was designed to carry farm irrigation to the lands east. I hoped to explore it but ran out of daylight. What puzzled me is how the water got from the river 20 feet below into the flume. While I was not able to see it on the ground it appears on a map that the river is diverted upstream from a manmade lake into a canal system. The flume which subsequently passes high above the river downstream carries the water eastward.

Masjid Sultan (Malay for Sultan Mosque; is located at Muscat Street and North Bridge Road within the Kampong Glam district of Rochor Planning Area in Singapore. The mosque is considered one of the most important mosques in Singapore. The prayer hall and domes highlight the mosque's star features.
Architect Denis Santry of Swan and Maclaren adopted a Saracenic style, incorporating minarets and balustrades. The mosque was completed after four years in 1928.
Sultan Mosque has stayed essentially unchanged since it was built, with only repairs carried out to the main hall in the 1960s and an annex added in 1993. It was gazetted as a national monument on 14 March 1975.

A London Eye hoje
A British Airways parou de patrocinar a London Eye desde o inicio de 2008. A atracao hoje e de propriedade da Merlim Entertainment Group, um dos maiores grupos de entretenimento da Europa. O grupo possui varios parques na Inglaterra bem como o famoso museu de cera Madame Tussauds com sede principal em Londres. As 32 cabines podem comportar 15.000 visitantes por dia e a volta completa dura um pouco menos de 30 minutos. Há diversos pacotes oferecidos aos visitantes da London Eye. Desde simples "voos" saboreando uma taca de champagne ate a possibilidade de alugar sua propria Capsula Privada com canapes, champagne e vinho.
Havia, como foi dito, uma restrição de cinco anos para a London Eye. Os críticos já tinham dado o apelido de Eyeful Tower, numa referência à Torre Eiffel, que também fora concebida para ser desmontada no futuro. Mas em 2002 o distrito de Lambeth concedeu à British Airways uma licença permanente.
O terreno onde se encontra a London Eye é de propriedade do South Bank Centre, que possui vários outros prédios nos arredores. Em 2005 foi divulgado na mídia o conteúdo de uma carta que supostamente teria vindo da diretoria do SBC, afirmando que o aluguel passaria dos atuais £65,000 para £2,5 milhões, o que a British Airways considerou inviável. Nessa época houve boatos que a London Eye seria então movida para o Hyde Park, ou até mesmo para Paris. O South Bank Centre negou o conteúdo da carta.
Em 2006, depois de um conflito jurídico sobre o valor do aluguel, a British Airways e o South Bank Centre fizeram um acordo onde a London Eye deveria repassar pelo menos £500,000 por ano ao SBC, num contrato válido por 25 anos.
A London Eye entrou para o Guinness, como a maior roda-gigante do mundo. Mas em breve esse título deverá ser revogado, haja vista que há planos para construir uma roda-gigante de 170m de altura em Las Vegas e outra de 200m em Shanghai.
As estações do metrô mais próximas são Waterloo e Westminster.

who is an wicked and evil witch. I wanted to base it off Bellatrix as she is awkward but at the same time, very erotic and gives a strange sex appeal and I wanted to take a risk. So like Bellatrix, I wanted Alexandrianna to of course resemble Bellatrix but also give that awkward sex appeal. I also included Bellatrix's wand.
The Lower Peirce Reservoir (Chinese: 贝雅士蓄水池下段) is one of the oldest reservoirs in Singapore. It is located near the MacRitchie Reservoir and the Upper Peirce Reservoir. It was originally created as the Peirce Reservoir but was designated as lower upon the creation of the Upper Peirce Reservoir. It is 6 hectares in size and contains many trees that are over 100 years old. There is a Lower Peirce Trail, which is a 900-metre boardwalk that takes visitors through a mature secondary forest. The reservoir is the source of the Kallang River, the longest river in Singapore.

Some information about singapore
Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a Southeast Asian city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is highly urbanised but almost half of the country is covered by greenery. More land is being created for development through land reclamation.
Singapore had been a part of various local empires since it was first inhabited in the second century AD. Modern Singapore was founded as a trading post of the East India Company by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained full sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Singapore was occupied by the Japanese in World War II and reverted to British rule after the war. It became internally self-governing in 1959. Singapore united with other former British territories to form Malaysia in 1963 and became a fully independent state two years later after separation from Malaysia. Since then it has had a massive increase in wealth, and is one of the Four Asian Tigers. The economy depends heavily on the industry and service sectors. Singapore is a world leader in several areas: It is the world's fourth-leading financial centre, the world's second-biggest casino gambling market, and the world's third-largest oil refining centre. The port of Singapore is one of the five busiest ports in the world, most notable for being the busiest transshipment port in the world. The country is home to more US dollar millionaire households per capita than any other country. The World Bank notes Singapore as the easiest place in the world to do business. The country has the world's third highest GDP PPP per capita of US$59,936, making Singapore one of the world's wealthiest countries.
UTF 732M is a Leyland Leopard PSU3B/4R with Duple Dominant coachwork. It was new in 1974 as Ribble 1052, painted in National Bus Company all white coach livery and has been restored to this condition.
To follow on from my previous photographs detailing the ECW Leyland Olympian coaches built for the National Bus Company. I mentioned that at the 1984 Motor Show Leyland Bus showed a restyled ECW (EX26) Olympian coach. A small number were built on three-axle Olympian chassis for the overseas markets. In 1985, the NBC placed their final order for buses and coaches to be delivered no later than 1987. The order included a number of the original design ECW Leyland Olympian coaches, plus six of the restyled ECW coach bodies, all 13ft 8in height, three were built on the long-wheelbase Olympian chassis for Eastern National, and the remaining three built on 9.6-metre Olympian chassis (ONLXB/1RH), which had been ordered by Southern Vectis and built for them and wore a metallic grey livery, but delivered to Alder Valley North for use on Londonlink comunter services, In 1987 Alder Valley North who were formed when Alder Valley was split up prior to the privatisation of the NBC were sold in 1987 and became The Berks Bucks Bus Co Ltd which used the fleet name The Bee Line.
I must mention that in September of 1986, Reading Transport received five 9.6-metre ECW Olympian coaches, the bodies were the standard 14ft 2in high bus bodies, but trimmed out as coaches. They featured fixed tinted glazing, soft trim, coach seating, overhead luggage racks sporting individual reading lights and ventilation. The lower dash beneath the front windscreen was shared with the original design ECW Olympian coaches built for the NBC. Reading also had 12 Leyland Titans, which some were fitted with coach seating.
My view shows The Bee Line ECW Leyland Olympian coach D824 UTF wearing an attractive yellow livery and lettered for the X14 and X15 services, the short length does not do the body style justice. These three Olympians would later pass to City of Oxford for their Wycombe operation.

***************************
Leucanthemum vulgare
***************************
La Margherita comune, (Leucanthemum vulgare, sin. Chrysanthemum leucanthemum) è una pianta erbacea perenne della famiglia delle Asteracee.
Descrizione
È una pianta che cresce a ciuffi, a stelo diritto, rugoso, con foglie basali peduncolate, e caulinari sessili e lanceolate. Le infiorescenze sono dei capolini tondi con fiori a ligula bianchi all'esterno e gialli al centro.
Distribuzione e habitat
Cresce spontanea nei prati, ai bordi delle strade, nei boschi radi, su substrato da calcareo a leggermente acido; è una pianta molto comune in tutta l'Europa fin nelle sue regioni più settentrionali, ad eccezione delle isole Svalbard.
*****************
Bellis perennis
*****************
Bellis perennis, chiamata anche "margherita comune", "margheritina" o "pratolina", è il nome di una specie appartenente alla famiglia delle Asteraceae. Pianta perenne diffusissima nei prati è originaria dell'Europa occidentale, centrale e settentrionale, largamente diffusa in Italia.
Descrizione
È una pianta erbacea perenne, di tipo composto, dotata di un rizoma ed ha foglie tonde o leggermente allungate sempreverdi di 2-5 cm di lunghezza disposte a rosetta. Il capolino è di 2-3 cm di diametro; i fiori esterni (all'apparenza, petali, ma in realtà sepali) sono di colore bianco, mentre quelli all'interno sono gialli. I fiori si trovano sulla cima di un gambo privo di foglie alto da 2 a 10 cm. I sepali esterni si chiudono di notte sul capolino per poi riaprirsi al mattino.
È a volte considerata una pianta infestante a causa del suo sviluppo tapezzante, è anche usata come pianta ornamentale grazie all'aspetto delicato dei suoi fiori. Sono state selezionate alcune bellis perennis con capolini di diametro di 5-6 cm con i fiori esterni (impropriamente, petali) rosa o violacei.
Usi
I fiori e le foglie vengono utilizzati in infusione come medicamento contro l'ipertensione. Facendola macerare, se ne ricava un liquido efficace come antiparassitario.
Curiosità
Il suo nome latino deriva dall'aggettivo bellus, grazioso; mentre il nome inglese, daisy, deriverebbe da day's eye, occhio del giorno, per la peculiarità del suo riaprirsi ogni giorno al sorgere del sole.
Nella mitologia nordica la margherita è il fiore sacro ad Ostara, la dea della primavera.
