Seit über 80 Jahren gibt es die Naturbadeanstalt an der Hindenburgstraße in Kiel-Düsternbrook inzwischen. Sie wurde anlässlich der Olympischen Spiele 1936 erbaut, denn in der Kieler Förde fanden die Segelwettbewerbe statt. Nach dem Krieg wurden an dieser Stelle die "Deutschen Meisterschaften im Meeresschwimmen" ausgetragen. Danach verfiel die Seebadeanstalt immer mehr, bis Ende der 1960er-Jahre gar der Abbruch drohte. Danach wurde ein Teil abgerissen, ein Anderer erneuert, bis ein schwerer Sturm im Jahr 2002 dem Seebad mächtig zusetzte. Durch private Spenden wurde das Bad anschließend erneuert. In den letzten Jahren erlebte das Seebad eine tolle Renaissance, der nicht zuletzt durch die Seebar zustande kam.

 

The natural bathing area on Hindenburgstrasse in Kiel-Düsternbrook has been there around for over 80 years. It was built on the occasion of the Olympic Games in 1936, because the sailing competitions took place in the Kiel Fjord. After the war, the "German Sea Swimming Championships" were held here. After that, the bathing area decayed more and more, until the end of the 1960s even threatened to demolish it. Then part of it was demolished, another was renewed until a severe storm in 2002 severely affected the bathing jetty. The bathing area was then renewed through private donations.In recent years, the seaside resort has had a great renaissance, not least thanks to the sea bar.

We left early this morning and had the place all to ourselves.

Somewhere along the Utah and Arizona border by Monument Valley. That day the blue sky and clouds were incredible as there were showers in the area. We would drive in and out of the showers only to see sunshine and these clouds.

@ Lake Yamanaka area - 花の都公園

This is part of the industrial area of the city, It shows the old 'Bay Horse' pub and the 'Maizecor' Silo which is one of the remaining Silos alongside The River Hull,

The area around the Mr Visserplein is one of the most air-polluted zones of Amsterdam. Moreover, once you cross the Valkenburgerstraat towards the Plantage - which is green again - there's an unbroken grayish concrete wall of buildings and pavement across from the Portuguese Synagogue...

But even here nature forces her way through cracks and fissures. If you've an eye for them there are many hardy plants that have found light for example between the horizontal pavement and the vertical walls. One of them is this delightful Sisymbrium officinale, Hedge Mustard.

Down through the ages it's been used for various ailments, most notably in an infusion against throat ache. Hence this Sisymbrium is also known as Singer's Plant. Perhaps I should try it sometime to thwart the scratchy throat caused by exhaust fumes.

....... at least said with grace

This area of the southern Yukon is not a true desert, not even a cold desert. The climate of the region is too moist. In prehistoric times lake water here receded, revealing a sandy bottom. Constant winds have continually caused the sand to shift, preventing the establishment of most plants, with the notable exception of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), here at the northern limit of its range. The Carcross Desert is affectionately known as the smallest desert in the world, measuring only 2.6 km². From a Kodachrome slide.

Geothermal energy, the most important source of energy.

Geothermal area is defined by the temperature of the groundwater at a depth of around 1,000m: if it is higher than 150°C (the boiling point is shifted due to the pressure).

This energy provides electricity + hot water + streets can be heated in Reykjavik in winter

Die Geothermale Energie, wichtigste Energiequelle.

Geothermalgebiet definiert sich durch die Temperatur vom Grundwasser in rund 1.000m Tiefe: Ist sie höher als 150°C (Der Siedepunkt ist wegen dem Druck verschoben).

Durch diese Energie gibt es Strom + Warmwasser + Strassen können in Reykjavik im Winter beheizt werden

This area is roped off for breeding birds. Most of the time people are pretty good about respecting the areas. Other times....Not so much.

The Swimming Heron.

 

Usually this is a great place for a heron to catch fish. But not this time. The water was far too high. It "landed", swam a bit here and there around and went away. Disapointed I suppose.
