A ground level view of the Ogooue River Booue Chutes with big fishing hoop nets. Since most of the fish we saw for sale at village markets were catfish, and i know they use these types of nets to catch catfish, assume that's what these were after. Can't imagine what it would be like putting these in and taking them out given the current.

Located in Mendocino County, California ~130 miles north of San Francisco. The first lighthouse on this site, built in 1870, was destroyed by an earthquake in 1906. The current lighthouse became operational in 1908 and was modernized in 1978. In 2000 a nonprofit organization called the Point Arena Lighthouse Keepers became the official owners and it is now designated at a California Historic Landmark.
A long exposure at Haycock Point near Pambula on the Sapphire Coast NSW. Interesting to see the currents after using a long exposure. I was down on the rock platform earlier but the tide was coming in and later much of the rock platform would be under water. The height above is not as evident in this photo. After the steps there is a sloping rock formation to walk down, which is okay unless you stumble. Much easier climbing back up! The sea is the Tasman. Lee Big Stopper and Little Stopper used.

As I mentioned a few days ago, I am currently looking into the production of ferric oxalate, not because I am dissatisfied with Bostick&Sullivan's product, but merely out of a thirst for knowledge.
I do not know the recipe of B&S, presumably it is iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid.
In my first attempt I followed the recipe of Pizzighelli and Hübl (ferric hydrate and oxalic acid). An interesting alternative, but time-consuming.
In the second attempt, it was iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid. The time required is similar, but with fewer steps.
The substance is not clearly defined, which makes it difficult to determine the exact content of oxalate solutions. The prevailing opinion is that the solution for the platinum process should contain 27% iron(III)-oxalate, for the Kallitypy 20%.
For practical purposes, the determination method using the specific gravity is sufficiently accurate, although any free oxalic acid present cannot be determined.
For the Kallitype, a specific gravity of 1.13 results in a solution of about 20%; for the comparison of the mode of action, the three oxalate solutions were brought to exactly this value. The measurement of the pH value showed clear deviations between the (acidic) solutions, which indicates different contents of free oxalic acid.

To obtain comparable densities, different exposure times were necessary.
From left to right:
B&S 3 minutes, P&H 2:30 minutes, Ox (iron nitrate) 2:15 minutes.
Wie schon vor einigen Tagen erwähnt, beschäftige ich mich momentan mit der Herstellung von Eisen(III)-Oxalat, nicht weil ich mit dem Produkt von Bostick&Sullivan unzufrieden wäre, sondern lediglich aus Wissensdrang.
Die Rezeptur von B&S ist mir nicht bekannt, vermutlich handelt es sich um Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure.
Bei meinem ersten Versuch bin ich nach der Rezeptur von Pizzighelli und Hübl (Eisen(III)-Hydrat und Oxalsäure) vorgegangen. Eine interessante Alternative, doch der Zeitaufwand ist hoch.
Beim zweiten Versuch waren es Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure. Der zeitliche Aufwand ist ähnlich hoch, allerdings bei weniger Arbeitsschritten.
Die Substanz ist nicht klar definiert, was es schwierig macht, den exakten Gehalt von Oxalat-Lösungen zu bestimmen. Nach vorherrschender Auffassung sollte die Lösung für den Platinprozeß 27% Eisen(III)-Oxalat enthalten, für die Kallitypie 20%.
Für die Praxis ist die Bestimmungsmethode über das spezifische Gewicht hinreichend genau, wobei allerdings ein eventuell vorhandener Anteil an freier Oxalsäure nicht festgestellt werden kann.
Für die Kallitype ergibt sich bei einem spezifischen Gewicht von 1.13 eine etwa 20% Lösung, für den Vergleich der Wirkungsweise wurden die drei Oxalatlösungen auf exakt diesen Wert gebracht. Die Messung des pH-Wertes zeigte deutliche Abweichungen zwischen den (sauren) Lösungen, was auf unterschiedlichen Gehalt an freier Oxalsäure hindeutet.

Ein reinrassiges, schnelles Seekajak im britischen Design. Das passige, flache Cockpit und das Unterschiff mit leichtem Kielsprung verleihen ihm eine beeindruckende Seetauglichkeit. Ein Kajak für fortgeschrittene, kleine bis mittelgroße Paddler, die einen engen Bootskontakt bevorzugen. Der CYPRESS spricht sofort auf technische Manöver an, wirkt aber dennoch nicht kippelig. Ob Brandungspaddelei oder Tour, in diesem Kajak kommen paddlerische Fähigkeiten voll zur Geltung.
Schnelles und wendiges Boot, hohe Endstabilität, besonders im Sturm und bei Wellengang, nichts für Anfänger und für größere Personen, da das Boot sehr schmal ist.
Wer mehr wissen will, kann mich gerne kontaktieren.

The Pierre Bremond House is one of the 11 houses built between 1859 and 1910 that make up the Bremond Block Historic District. The block was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and is considered one of the few remaining upper-class Victorian neighborhoods of the middle to late nineteenth century in Texas. Six of the eleven houses were built or expanded for members of the families of brothers Eugene and John Bremond, who were prominent in late-nineteenth-century Austin social, merchandising, and banking circles. Of these six residences, all but one were designed and built by the Austin contractor, George Fiegel.
The Pierre Bremond House sits in the center of the 400 block of W. Seventh St. between the John Bremond, Jr. House on its east side, and the Eugene Bremond House, the house of Pierre's father, on its west side. Built in 1898, the two-story, tan brick house was the last Bremond house to be built. It is a subdued late Victorian with a low-pitched hip roof, a double gallery, and an unobtrusive tower on the west side.
While the Pierre Bremond House may be the least ornate of all the houses, Pierre's home was the most spacious. Renovated in 2012, the house is currently owned by the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, who also own the John Bremond, Jr. home next door that serves as the association headquarters.

Currently the largest mosque in Turkey, the Grand Çamlıca Mosque (Turkish pronunciation: [tʃamlɯdʒa]) (Turkish: Büyük Çamlıca Camii) is a complex for Islamic worship which was completed and opened on 7 March 2019. The mosque stands astride Çamlıca Hill in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul and is visible from much of the centre of the city. The complex incorporates an art gallery, library, and conference hall. It can hold up to 63,000 worshippers at a time (can accommodate up to 100,000 people in case of an earthquake).
The cost of the mosque was US$110 million (approx. 550 million Turkish liras at the time). Planning for the Çamlıca Mosque began in the year 2000 and was led by two female architects, Bahar Mızrak and Hayriye Gül Totu. Their design won second prize in a competition to come up with something suitable.
The mosque was officially inaugurated on 3 May 2019 by the current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Several world leaders were present at the ceremony including Senegalese President Macky Sall, Guinean President Alpha Conde, Albanian president Ilir Meta, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and other foreign dignitaries.
Çamlıca Mosque was only the third mosque in Turkey to have six minarets, after the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque in Istanbul and the Sabancı Merkez Mosque in Adana.
In 2022 work was under way to add a spur to the M5 Metro line from Üsküdar to include a stop at the Çamlıca Mosque.

The hills of Applecross tower over the towers of the Noble Intrepid, a 'jack-up' oil drilling rig currently in dry dock at Kishorn port - I can see this from my house. There are actually three towers on the rig, but from this angle the two on the left are superimposed. I can't fathom how these towers help the rig to operate! The infamous road up to the Bealach na Ba is seen in the center of the image.
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.

May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
We've been experiencing a lot of cloudy weather recently and very little sun so, I was grateful for a short sunny period while I took this reflection in a channel of water flowing between buildings in Kingston.
Located in the altitude fields of the "Serra da Bocaina", the "Casa de Pedra", as it is currently known, was built by Dr. Lassance, a resident doctor from Rio de Janeiro, in the beginning of the 20th century and its apogee in 1914.
Once ready and decorated with the richest imported refinements, the house was not much to the liking of his wife who was not interested in the patrimony.
The abandonment and vandalism were destroying the beautiful building that is now in ruins, and today is only a reminder of the golden days of "Bocaina".

St. Petri in Lübeck, first mentioned in 1170, is the cultural and university church of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. After several reconstructions, St. Petri was given its current architectural form as a five-aisled Gothic hall church in the 15th century and has been a Protestant church since the Reformation in Lübeck in 1530.
In March 1942, the church was badly damaged by a British bombing raid and burned down completely. After restoration, St. Petri was only reopened as a church for the whole city in 1987 and is now a place for art and culture, for science and discussion. During Advent, an arts and crafts Christmas market is held in St. Petri. From the tower of the church you have an overview of the whole of Lübeck's old town.

St. Petri zu Lübeck, erstmals 1170 erwähnt, ist die Kultur- und Hochschulkirche der Hansestadt Lübeck. Nach mehrfachem Umbau bekam St. Petri im 15. Jahrhundert die heutige architektonische Gestalt als fünfschiffige gotische Hallenkirche und ist seit der Reformation in Lübeck im Jahr 1530 eine evangelische Kirche.
Im März 1942 wurde die Kirche durch einen britischen Bombenangriff stark beschädigt und brannte vollkommen aus. Nach der Restaurierung wurde St. Petri erst 1987 als Kirche für die ganze Stadt wiedereröffnet und ist heute ein Ort für Kunst und Kultur, für Wissenschaft und Diskussion. In der Adventszeit findet in St. Petri jeweils ein Kunsthandwerker-Weihnachtsmarkt statt. Vom Turm der Kirche hat man einen Überblick über die ganze Lübecker Altstadt.

The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom
Last week I visited the wildlife park and although I missed the "Bird of Prey Show" I lucked out because the keeper talked to someone he know and I got the chance to ask for some portrait pictures.
Currently located just outside the boundaries of Snæfellsjökull National Park, the town of Hellnar is the largest of the fishing villages on the south side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It has been that way for centuries. A church was first built at this site in the village in 1833. The church in the photo was constructed in 1945.
This cathedral has served as the main church of the Georgian Orthodox Church from the Middle Ages until early XXI century. The current structure was started by the great Georgian king David the Builder in XII century, and has been rebuilt many times after invasions and earthquakes.
Этот собор являлся главным храмом Грузинской Православной Церкви со Средних Веков до начала XXI века. Строительство было начато великим грузинским царём Давидом Строителем в XII веке, и здание перестраивалось много раз после вторжений и землятрясений.

M503 is back up to speed after hanging back at Woodland Jct, waiting on a motive power plagued L375 here at Milford. The local is finally in the clear and the C&EI towards Evansville is finally open for southbound movement again. Afternoons tend to be busy on this leg of the C&EI and this 1st of December is no different. I195, M500, L375, M503 and I129 all ran in daylight between Woodland Jct and Danville.
