The Royal Cement Plant has an interesting history. Originally built in Iowa in 1954, it was purchased and moved to its current location in 1985 for $500,000 by a one Aldo DiNardo. It cost another $500,000 just to transport it. DiNardo then spent the next ten years rebuilding and trying to bring the plant up to EPA standards, which he claimed wasn't necessary since the plant had originally been built before the current EPA rules.
DiNardo was fined by the EPA and currently owes $70,000 in back emissions fees and late charges and $94,000 in penalties. Yet, after sinking over 12 million into the plant and never making any real money, DiNardo claimed that he wanted to reopen the plant, insisting he could make it profit.
On July 1, 1999 a fatal accident occurred at the plant, caused mostly by aging equipment. An electrician was electrocuted when he contacted an energized 4160 volt cable inside the crusher and finish grinding transformer. The flicker switches in the interrupter switches for the transformer were defective in that they did not open when the switch was tripped due to an accumulation of dust and dirt. With the switches stuck in the closed position, power was inadvertently supplied to the 4160 volt transformer. The Royal Cement Company was ordered to pay just $5,000 in fines.
In 2003 the BLM discovered that the plant was essentially occupying on public lands illegally, as DiNardo failed to pay fees of $1,300 to maintain his mining claims to the area in 2002. The voiding of the claims was never appealed, and DiNardo's plan of operations were revoked.

Broken, just like my computer! I haven't posted much because I don't have any of my editing programs on my laptop. I will kiss my desktop all over when it returns home to me:)

A water drop just breaking the surface of the water. The flash was covered with a coloured gel, the pattern seen in the drop is actually the pattern that is on the outside of the bowl.

The Aulne monastery (Abbaye d'Aulne) was once a Benedictine and then a Cistercian monastery - and now it is mostly in ruins. It was founded already in 637 and came under Cistercian rule in 1147. The monastery had many ups and downs, with its last golden era in the 18th century. But the monastery was sacked by French revolutionaries in 1794 and turned to ruins.
