España - Málaga - Casares - Baños Romanos de la Hedionda
***
ENGLISH:
Its uniqueness as Sulphur Baths and the length of its use by man since historical times have come to enrich its role not only as a historical and scientific reality, but as a cultural element of the first order, which must have influenced the cultural heritage of the town since ancient times, and which also enjoys an ideal geographical location within the framework of a territory particularly rich in human activities since ancient times.
From the oldest geographical treaties that speak of the municipality of Casares, reference is made to the curative properties of the Hedionda spring and its location.
The historical importance is given by the spa area, initially Roman in its capture and adaptation to the use of the spring. Later remodeling, the result of the variation in the flow levels of the spring, caused the Arabs to retouch its structure and expand its walls and channels, brought to light in the last archaeological intervention at the beginning of 1990. In addition, from 2016, these baths have natural pools.
The complex of baths is completed with works from the 17th to the end of the 20th century, which are still partially preserved. Although the size of the remains found may seem to us to be little in keeping with the Roman magnificence of this type of construction, the studies carried out seem to confirm this Roman origin, although some alterations must have occurred to the primitive structure.
To avoid overcrowding, the Casares Town Council has implemented a series of measures, including limiting the capacity of the premises to 24 people, so it is necessary to make a reservation to access it during peak hours, established from 12:00 to 19:00 hours from July 2 to September 9. These reservations are free and for a period of one hour.

ESPAÑOL:
Su peculiaridad como Baños Sulfurosos y lo dilatado de su aprovechamiento por el hombre desde tiempos históricos han venido a enriquecer su papel no sólo como realidad histórica y científica, sino como elemento cultural de primer orden, que ha debido influir en el acerbo cultural del pueblo desde muy antiguo, y que goza además de una situación geográfica idónea en el marco de un territorio particularmente rico en actividades humanas desde la antigüedad.
Desde los más antiguos tratados geográficos en los que se habla del municipio de Casares se hace referencia a las propiedades curativas de la fuente de la Hedionda y su localización.
La importancia histórica viene dada por el recinto balneario, inicialmente romano en su captación y adaptación al uso de la fuente. Remodelaciones posteriores, fruto de la variación en los niveles de caudal del venero hace que los árabes retoquen su estructura y amplíen sus muros y canalizaciones, sacadas a la luz en la última intervención arqueológica en los inicios de 1990. Además, a partir del año 2016, estos baños cuentan con piscinas naturales.
El conjunto de los baños se completa con obras desde el XVII hasta fines del XX, aún conservadas en parte. Aunque la entidad de los restos encontrados, pudieran parecernos poco acordes con la magnificencia romana en este tipo de construcciones, los estudios realizados parecen confirmar este origen romano, si bien se deben haber producido algunas alteraciones de la primitiva estructura.
Para evitar la masificación, el Ayuntamiento de Casares ha puesto en marcha una serie de medidas entre las que destaca la limitación del aforo en el recinto a 24 personas, por lo que es necesario realizar una reserva para acceder al mismo en horas puntas, establecidas de 12.00 a 19.00 horas desde el 2 de julio al 9 de septiembre. Estas reservas son gratuitas y por un periodo de una hora.
A unique shot of 'back to back' WDs. 90265 leads 90262 over Hedon Road Bridge, Hull, with a 'block load' of 'big tanks' from Saltend oil refinery on January 11th 1967 (this shot appears on page 181 of 'More Illustrated Railways of Hull' by Willy Yeadon RIP).
An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.

The Fossil Falls is a unique geological feature, located in the Coso Range of California in the United States. Volcanic activity in the mountain range, along with meltwater from glaciers in the nearby Sierra Nevada, played a role in the creation of the falls. They are located near Little Lake, Inyo County, California, 1.0 mi (1.6 km) off US 395 (at a red cinder cone called "Red Hill") on Cinder Road

The Story of my Toby's birth, is one of the most unique animal stories, for me. Not just because of what had happend that morning, but rather for the rarest of times... We actually have an eye witness and an official Birth Date. (Which is not common enough in the life of a beloved pet)
March 26th 2014 my little tuxedo wearing, agent007-assassin cat came to be. That morning we were in the midst of yet another Snow storm. And it was a heavy snow and sleek with slightly below temperatures.
A dear sweet woman named Sheila (a mother of a friend) had been a long time caretaker of a group of wild and feral cats. She lived on the edge of a large forest field, where the cats would roam and hunt. And true enough to her love to these felines... She would feed them in hardtimes and even name them. Despite their fear of humans, they would hang around the edges of her yard. And came to know her well enough that they felt safe if she alone was outdoors.
One day Sheila heard a strange sound at her back door. As she walked upto it, she realized it was one of the youngest cats (barely out of kittenhood herself). With layers of snow on her and wet and cold, she stood right upto the door. Sheila wondered why this young cat who was always so timid and shy, had the courage to be at her back door. Until she looked closer and realized... she was holding a newly born kitten in her mouth.
Ofcourse she was shocked to say the least, so she opened the door in the hopes this frightened cat would come in. And she did!!!! This scared wild young cat somehow KNEW she had to do the impossible to save her kitten!. So she walked in and as Sheila search to get a warm blanket. This wet and confused cat placed her kitten down just feets away from the door, and slightly colapsed by it's side. All while a hyper but most friendly dog (Sheila's dog) was dancing around her with joy and happiness to her arrival. Yet she didn't have any energy or strength to react to her fears.
And then it happend...
As Sheila was putting down the covers for the kitten and her mother. Right there and right then...... Ladies and Gents...... My Toby was BORN!!
The young mother cat who saved her kitten by going into a strange and scary place. Had given birth to a little tuxedo wearing, agent 007-assassin cat, who would be know by all, in the near future as (my love) Sir Toby! :)
If this story isn't dramatic enough... here are a few quick added notes about this miracle..
1-The dog (bella) was the one to lick clean off the Vernix and cords of both kittens ( The oily white fluid bag rapped around the kittens) And Bella was the official babysitter. She would clean them, check up on them, and sleep by them. The mother cat would only come in several times a day to nurse her kids. But had no part in raising them, because she didn't want to stay indoors long enough.
2- Toby was the 3rd of this cat litter. Sadly Sheila found the remains of a new born kitten a short while after. We believe the storm was so bad and it was so cold the little kitten could'nt survive the storm. Which lead the mother to take her second born and find a safer place. Or she knew she was going to loose all her kittens.
Again I asked how a barely old enough WILD cat (appx 1year old and a few months) would have known what she had to do to save her kittens. And then to let a dog take care of them without hissing or fighting... Thats unheard of!!
3- Finally... I was actually there and witnessed Mother Cat coming to the door with a still ALIVE mouse she caught in her mouth. And wanted to show her (WAY TOO YOUNG) newly born kittens how to eat theses. Which shows you how young the mother was and inexperienced as a mother. Because the kittens were too young to see clearly yet, let alone eat solid foods.!! :-)
I don't need to tell you that was the only time Sheila didn't let the mother in the house. NO mouses ALLOWED!!! LOL :D
So this is the beginnings of my Toby's story. There is a second part to this, which leads upto how I ended up with my precious-beloved-adored- agent007-assassin... Sir Toby!
But thats for another day :-))))
His Mother truly saved him... And I will always be so amazed AND thankful for that!!! :-)) xx
Thank-you so much for reading this. Rather long this time, but I really didn't want to lose any details to explain this miracle blessing!!
And thank-you all for always faving and commenting so supportively of my Big-Boy!!
Happy Bitrthday My Toby! :-)))) xxxxoxoxox

There are not that many green flowers to be found!
Leaves aplenty, but not blooms.
ARC DE TRIOMPHE. Molucella or Bells of Ireland.
These two stems of Irish Bells seemed to welcome, in the form of an ARCH of TRIUMPH, the three small red roses ...
Moluccella is a genus of annual and short-lived perennial plants native to Central + southwestern Asia and the Mediterranean.
They are tall, upright, branched plants to 1 meter or more with toothed leaves and small white fragrant flowers.
Whether Moluccella is actually a flower or variety of foliage is often open to debate.
In fact, Moluccellais a member of the mint family and has a unique perfume all of its own.
Bells of Ireland, a hardy annual with flowers that never fail to impress, blooms which are the most exquisite shade of lime green.
Since Victorian times, Bells of Ireland have been considered a symbol of good luck - the perfect flower to send to someone starting a new job, or moving to a new home.
Moluccella laevis (Bells-of-Ireland, Bells of Ireland, Molucca balmis, Shellflower, Shell flower)
The second: TIDDELY-OM-POM-POM... Green Trick ‘Temarisou’...
Bred by Hilverda kooij in Holland, and winner of countless awards is a stylish Dianthus barbatus called Green Trick ‘Temarisou’
First, this is not a true carnation at all (Dianthus caryophyllus) which I thought it was judging by the leaves and stems but rather, it is a Dianthus barbatus cultivar, or Sweet William.
But a Sweet William that looks more like a ball of moss?
As far a cut flower trends go, this amazing new variety is a terrific example of how plant breeders are focusing on new lifestyle flowers that meet the needs of today's new consumer.
Short, modern containers with dense mounds of spiky green is exactly what stylists and hip florists are looking for.
There IS a trend in EVERYTHING!
Thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

Unique back alley with buildings covered in vividly colored graffiti-style murals & writing. A slight detour off Main Street drops you into a stunning expression of Rapid City’s creative community. Expect to be dazzled with bright color and ingenious creativity on a stroll through the heart of Downtown. Art Alley, situated between 6th and 7th Streets, began as a public art project in 2005 and has become a living tribute to freedom of expression. Free-form graffiti murals intermingle with pop art, abstract and cultural works in a constantly changing display of local and visiting talent. Artists with big reputations and bigger dreams are regularly given a free pass to make their mark on Rapid City. As inspiring as the art is the community that supports it. Open-minded and embracing of many forms of expression, Rapid City challenges and evolves visitors’ definitions of what it means to create art. Are you game for a little mind blowing, and like so many of us, ready to snap a lot of pictures ?

Here in the heart of Rapid City, a unique place exists; a functioning alley that hums with the urban street sounds of delivery and garbage trucks and a backbeat of shaking spray paint cans. The walls feature truly unique works of art, personal and political expressions about community and global issues. It has a fickle nature and is constantly changing, sometimes, many times a day. It has become a sacred place for many - artists, locals and tourists. It is a place where you can get lost in the art - and also found. Art Alley, located between 6th and 7th, and Main and Saint Joseph Streets in Rapid City, emerged as an organic, community gallery in 2003. In the beginning artists hung largely canvas artworks on the walls, and over time, evolved to painting directly on the walls. A group of passionate artists and community members worked with city officials to nurture this organic art form, and Art Alley was born.

Rapid City (Lakota: Mni Lúzahaŋ Otȟúŋwahe; "Swift Water City") is the second most populous city in South Dakota and the county seat of Pennington County. Named after Rapid Creek, on which the city is established, it is set against the eastern slope of the Black Hills mountain range. The population was 67,956 as of the 2010 Census. Known as the "Gateway to the Black Hills" and the "City of Presidents", it is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the western and eastern parts of the city. Ellsworth Air Force Base is located on the outskirts of the city. Camp Rapid, a part of the South Dakota Army National Guard, is located in the western part of the city. The historic "Old West" town of Deadwood is nearby. In the neighboring Black Hills are the popular tourist attractions of Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park and the museum at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research. Rapid City is located at 44.076188°N 103.228299°W. The downtown elevation of Rapid City is 3,202 feet (976 m) and Rapid City sits in the shadow of Black Elk Peak, which at 7,242 feet (2,207 m), is the highest point east of the Rocky Mountains. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 55.49 square miles (143.71 km2), of which 55.41 square miles (143.5 km2) is land and 0.08 square mile (0.2 km2) is water. Rapid City is located on the eastern edge of the Black Hills, and is split in half by the Dakota Hogback. Rapid City's "Westside" is located in the Red Valley between the foothills of the Black Hills proper and the Dakota Hogback, so named for the red Spearfish formation soils and the way the valley completely circles the Black Hills. Rapid City has grown up into the foothills, with both ridges and valleys developed, especially in the last 20 years, and wildfire is a distinct threat to these residential areas, as shown by the Westberry Trails fire in 1988. Skyline Drive follows the summits of the Dakota Hogback south from near Rapid Gap (where Rapid Creek cuts through the Hogback) to a large high plateau that forms the current south edge of Rapid City. The Central and Eastern portions of Rapid City lie in the wide valley of Rapid Creek outside the Hogback, which includes a number of mesas rising a hundred feet or more above the floodplain.
The road network of Madagascar, comprising about 4,500 unique roads spanning 31,640 kilometers (19,660 mi), is designed primarily to facilitate transportation to and from Antananarivo, the Malagasy capital. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Few Malagasy own private vehicles; long-distance travel is often accomplished in taxi brousses ('bush taxis') which may be shared by 20 or more people.
While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Programme has classified nearly two-thirds of the overall road network as being in poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and dahalo (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education.
Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, to deter attacks from dahalo, the government of Madagascar requires that drivers travel in convoys of at least ten vehicles. Car collision fatalities are not fully reported, but the rate is estimated to be among the highest in the world. Random police checkpoints, at which travelers are required to produce identity documents, are spread throughout the country. Crops are transported by ox cart locally and by truck inter-regionally. Human-powered vehicles, once the only means of road transport, are still found in the form of pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Taxi brousses constitute a rudimentary road-based public transportation system in Madagascar. Rides on taxi brousses cost as little as 200 Malagasy ariary (roughly US$0.10) as of 2005, and vehicles involved are often overpacked, sometimes with the assistant driver riding on the outside of the vehicle. Stops on their routes are generally not fixed, allowing passengers to exit at arbitrary points.

La red de carreteras de Madagascar, que comprende alrededor de 4.500 carreteras únicas que abarcan 31.640 kilómetros (19.660 millas), está diseñada principalmente para facilitar el transporte hacia y desde Antananarivo, la capital malgache. El transporte por estas carreteras, la mayoría de las cuales no están pavimentadas y tienen dos carriles de ancho, suele ser peligroso. Son pocos los malgaches que poseen vehículos privados; Los viajes de larga distancia a menudo se realizan en taxis ("taxis rurales") que pueden ser compartidos por 20 o más personas.
Si bien la mayoría de las carreteras principales están en buenas condiciones, el Programa Mundial de Alimentos ha clasificado casi dos tercios de la red vial general como en malas condiciones. Estas condiciones pueden hacer que sea peligroso conducir a velocidades de moderadas a altas y los ataques de dahalo (bandidos) representan una amenaza a bajas velocidades. Muchas carreteras son intransitables durante la estación húmeda de Madagascar; algunos puentes (a menudo estructuras estrechas de un solo carril) son vulnerables a ser arrastrados. Son pocos los malgaches rurales que viven cerca de una carretera en buenas condiciones; La mala conectividad vial puede plantear desafíos en la atención de salud, la agricultura y la educación.
Los conductores en Madagascar circulan por el lado derecho de la carretera. En algunas carreteras, para disuadir los ataques desde Dahalo, el gobierno de Madagascar exige que los conductores viajen en convoyes de al menos diez vehículos. Las muertes por colisiones automovilísticas no se informan en su totalidad, pero se estima que la tasa se encuentra entre las más altas del mundo. Por todo el país hay puestos de control policial aleatorios, en los que los viajeros deben presentar documentos de identidad. Los cultivos se transportan en carretas de bueyes a nivel local y en camiones a nivel interregional. Los vehículos de propulsión humana, que alguna vez fueron el único medio de transporte por carretera, todavía se encuentran en forma de pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Los taxis constituyen un rudimentario sistema de transporte público por carretera en Madagascar. Los viajes en taxi cuestan tan solo 200 ariary malgaches (aproximadamente 0,10 dólares estadounidenses) en 2005, y los vehículos involucrados suelen estar demasiado llenos, a veces con el asistente del conductor viajando en el exterior del vehículo. Las paradas en sus rutas generalmente no son fijas, lo que permite a los pasajeros salir en puntos arbitrarios.

Unique pioneering work carried out by Carl Bucker and his chief engineer a Swede called Anderson enabled presentation of a advanced aerobatic prototype. The aircraft was constructed in 4 months and first flew in 1934 and was demonstrated at the Berlin Olympics.
Following its commercial success large scale production new premises were built at Rangsdorf on the Southern perimeter of Berlin. This new airfield came into service in 1936, in time for the Berlin Olympics at which Bucker aircraft were displayed.
The Bucker Jungmann or Bü 131 was selected as the primary basic trainer for the German Luftwaffe and it served with “virtually all” the Luftwaffe’s primary flying schools during the war.
About 200 Jungmanns survive worldwide to this day, there are a few flying examples in the UK.
I believe 4151 was the only U34CH to wear this version of NJT's dark blue and silver scheme. This was because it had previously been repainted by Conrail into a bicentennial paint scheme. It was also the "class" U34CH on both EL and NJT's roster. I believe this may be my only photo of 4151...scanned from a grainy color negative. It is what it is! It was caught shoving a midday eastbound train across the Saddle River in Garfield, NJ on the Bergen County Line.
