Dabas parks "Ogres Zilie Kalni" / Dubkalnu karjers
Teika stāsta, ka velns nesis uz Rīgu smilšu maisu, bet ceļā piekusis un atgūlies purvainā vietā atpūsties. Bērni, gribēdami velnu izmuļķot, izplēsuši smilšu maisam caurumu. Velns atmodies un, nekā nemanīdams, cēlis maisu plecos un gājis tālāk. Tā smiltis izbirušas un izveidojušās osu grēdas – Zilie kalni, ko tautā dēvē arī par Velna gultu.

Daba la sensación, por lo visto en las cuatro primeras carreras, que este año los Ferrari eran ligeramente más competitivos que los Mercedes. Pero en Montmeló la escuadra de la estrella volvió a estar claramente por encima del resto de los equipos y dominaron la carrera de principio a fin como, me temo, van a seguir haciéndolo durante el resto de la temporada.
It gave the sensation, apparently in the first four races, that this year the Ferraris were slightly more competitive than the Mercedes. But in Montmeló the squadron of the star was clearly above the rest of the teams and dominated the race from start to finish as, I fear, they will continue to do so for the rest of the season.
The remote desert line from the Guyaozi area coal mines and chemical industry to the connection with China Rail at Daba was not an easy option due to the fairly sparse service. The weather in winter was often unpleasant with visibility reduced and low light levels. However, when you did find a train the results could be very good. After chasing around in the gloom for some time we were able to catch QJ 7200 having just crossed a loaded coal train (which can just be seen in the left distance) whilst heading the empties towards Guyaozi. The next day it snowed!
Once a small fishing village in the Arabian Gulf, Dubai is a city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates known for luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture and a lively nightlife scene. There are several theories about the origin of the name Dubai. One associates it with the daba—a type of locust that infests the area—while another holds that it refers to a market that existed near the city.
Daba gusto ver cómo Alba (una amiga) disfrutaba comiendo esa sandía.
Me encanta la fotografía porque ayuda a recordar y compartir esos buenos momentos.
¡Que tengáis un fin de semana lleno de momentos felices
y que comáis muchas perdices .... o, mejor aún, sandías! ;-)

It was a pleasure to see how Alba (a friend) enjoyed eating that watermelon.
Photograpy helps to share and remember better those happy moments.
I wish you a weekend full of happy moments!;-)
The weather conditions were dull with poor visibilty during my visit to the Daba to Guyaozi coal railway which crosses the desert lands of remote Ningxia. By the time QJ 7205 passed Lingwu towards Guyaozi it was snowing steadily and the light was almost gone even though it was not yet midday. There wasn't time to wait for better conditions so it was up with the iso setting and live with the grain. Can't do it again as the line was dieselised soon after.
El arzobispo de Santiago, Rafael Valentín Valdivieso Zañartu, ante el destino no siempre piadoso que se daba a las limosnas que se dejaban a Santa Rosa, ordenó trasladar la imagen a la parroquia de Malloa, ya que en Pelequén aún no había templo, y el poblado formaba parte del Curato Malloíno. La santa permaneció en Malloa mientras se construía un santuario en Pelequén.
La construcción del templo se hizo posible gracias a la donación del terreno que para los efectos hace en 1871 José Santiago Gallegos. El 6 de agosto de 1881 la iglesia de Santa Rosa se inaugura oficialmente. El 10 de agosto de ese mismo año se crea la viceparroquia de Pelequén. El 30 de agosto de 1881 se hace el solemne traslado de la imagen desde la capilla interior de la iglesia parroquial de Malloa a la nueva iglesia de Pelequén, en medio del fervor popular. El 8 de febrero de 1897 Mariano Casanova crea la parroquia de Pelequén. El primer templo fue totalmente destruido por el terremoto del 16 de agosto de 1906.
Se construyó un segundo templo, que posteriormente fue dañado parcialmente por el terremoto del 2 de diciembre de 1928. En ese momento se decidió reacondicionar y ampliar el templo de tres amplias naves, mezcla Romántico-gótica. El templo nuevo se inauguró el 29 de agosto de 1929, y las torres en 1953.
Luego del terremoto de marzo de 1985, el obispo de Rancagua Jorge Medina Estévez mandó a construir una cúpula sobre la Torre del Santuario, hecha completamente de cobre, mineral que es muy abundante en la región debido a la existencia de la Mina El Teniente. Esta cúpula hacía visible al templo desde la ruta. El terremoto de 2010 derrumbó la torre y causó graves daños a la estructura, haciendo obligatoria otra reconstrucción del Templo, siendo reinaugurado el 31 de julio de 2011 gracias al aporte del Programa de Apoyo al Material del Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes, y a aportes privados. La ceremonia contó con la presencia del presidente de la República Sebastián Piñera, la primera dama, el ministro de Cultura y autoridades locales y regionales.

The Archbishop of Santiago, Rafael Valentín Valdivieso Zañartu, faced with the not always pious fate given to the alms that were left to Santa Rosa, ordered the image to be transferred to the parish of Malloa, since in Pelequén there was still no temple, and the The town was part of the Malloíno parish. The saint remained in Malloa while a sanctuary was built in Pelequén.
The construction of the temple was made possible thanks to the donation of land made in 1871 by José Santiago Gallegos. On August 6, 1881, the church of Santa Rosa was officially inaugurated. On August 10 of that same year, the vice-parish of Pelequén was created. On August 30, 1881, the image was solemnly transferred from the interior chapel of the Malloa parish church to the new Pelequén church, amid popular fervor. On February 8, 1897, Mariano Casanova created the parish of Pelequén. The first temple was totally destroyed by the earthquake of August 16, 1906.
A second temple was built, which was later partially damaged by the earthquake of December 2, 1928. At that time it was decided to recondition and expand the temple with three large naves, a Romantic-Gothic mix. The new temple was inaugurated on August 29, 1929, and the towers in 1953.
After the earthquake of March 1985, the Bishop of Rancagua Jorge Medina Estévez ordered the construction of a dome over the Tower of the Sanctuary, made entirely of copper, a mineral that is very abundant in the region due to the existence of the El Teniente Mine. This dome made the temple visible from the road. The 2010 earthquake collapsed the tower and caused serious damage to the structure, making another reconstruction of the Temple mandatory, and it was reopened on July 31, 2011 thanks to the contribution of the Material Support Program of the National Council for Culture and the Arts, and to private contributions. The ceremony was attended by the President of the Republic Sebastián Piñera, the first lady, the Minister of Culture and local and regional authorities.
The visit to the desert line between Daba and Guyaozi was intended to make shots amidst the dunes and wide open spaces. The weather had other ideas and the falling snow soon reduced visibility and required a change of tactics. QJ 7205 nears Guyaozi with a long train of empty coal wagons.
This is a reprocessing of an image that I felt could be improved upon.
Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 08-Jul-20, plus DeNoise AI 15-Feb-26. [a Condor Viscount D-ANUN and this DC-7C were parked so close together that I couldn't get a decent angle on either of them...]
This aircraft was the 3rd from the end of the production line and was delivered new to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as PH-DSP in Nov-58 (you can just make out where its KLM name "Japanse Zee" ["Sea of Japan"] has been removed from the nose, Six years later, in Nov-64, they sold it to Sudflug as D-ABAS.
In Aug-68 it was sold to 'North American Aircraft Trading' and registered in Mauritania as 5T-TAL. In Feb-69 it was transferred to ARCO Bermuda Ltd as VR-BCZ and stored at Basel, Switzerland. It was broken up there in Dec-70. A ten year operational life isn't a lot by today's standards.
QJ 7036 takes the empties towards Yangchangwan Mine as the snow gently falls on the Daba - Guyaozi coal railway.

Abastumani (Georgian: აბასთუმანი) is a small town (daba) and climatic spa in Adigeni Municipality, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia. It is located on the southern slopes of the Meskheti Range (Lesser Caucasus), in the small river valley of Otskhe, 25 km northeast of Adigeni and 28 km west of Akhaltsikhe. The Georgian National Astrophysical Observatory is located at Abastumani.
In medieval Georgia, the area of modern-day Abastumani was part of the district of Odzrkhe so named after a fortress whose ruins survive near the townlet. In the 16th century, it fell to the Ottoman Empire under whose rule the area was deserted, but its hot springs were appreciated and frequented by locals. Under the Russian rule, a short-lived German colony of Friedenthal (Russian: Фрейденталь) emerged there in 1842. In the 1850s, it was recolonized by the Russians under the patronage of Viceroy of the Caucasus Mikhail Vorontsov. The new settlement acquired the name Abbas-Tuman after a nearby located village and became popular for its climate and thermal waters. Its development as a resort is chiefly associated with Grand Duke George Alexandrovich (1871–1899), a member of the Russian imperial family, who had retired there due to his ill-health. Abastumani acquired the status of an urban-type settlement (Georgian: daba) under the Soviet Union in 1926.[ Tourism infrastructure has been renovated since the mid-2000s
География
Абастумани располагается на южном склоне Месхетского хребта, в ущелье реки Оцхе (бывшей Абастуманки), на высоте 1250—1450 м, в 28 км к северо-западу от железнодорожной станции Ахалцихе, в 78 км к юго-западу от железнодорожной станции Боржоми[4].
Курорт
В Абастумани чистый горный воздух, умеренная сухость, нет сильных ветров. На горных склонах — леса (сосна, ель, пихта). Лето умеренно тёплое, средняя температура августа 16 °C[5]. Зима мягкая, солнечная, умеренно снежная (снежный покров держится с середины декабря до середины марта)[3]; средняя температура января –6 °C. Осадки выпадают преимущественно в апреле—октября, среднегодовое количество около 600 мм. В год насчитывается в среднем 1967 дней (вероятно, опечатка) солнечного сияния[5].
В силу этих благоприятных условий Абастумани стал круглогодичным курортом. Производится лечение больных лёгочным туберкулёзом, открыты слабоминерализованные термальные источники, воду которых используют для лечения болезней опорно-двигательного аппарата, нервной системы, гинекологии и других.
Mas o menos esta es la cara que tengo mi primer día de curro.
Primero intentaré ponerme al día en lo que a amigos flikeros se refiere y después tengo la descomunal tarea de ordenar, catalogar y borrar (de esto último a patadas) las casi 2.000 fotos que he hecho, pero tranquilos, que solo subiré una docena.
Espero que seais pacientes conmigo.
One from Yarner last Saturday, gotta love these little bundles of feathers! ò¿ò

Captured on Hungary’s S21 line, this classic MÁV M62 “Sergej” diesel locomotive makes a rare and atmospheric appearance on a scheduled passenger working, recreating the sound and spectacle of Cold War–era mainline diesel traction. Events like the M62 Running Day offer a unique opportunity to witness these iconic Soviet-built locomotives in regular service conditions across the Hungarian railway network.
