Una aguada o grúa de agua es una infraestructura ferroviaria utilizada para alimentar de grandes cantidades de agua a los depósitos de las locomotoras tender o a los vagones ténder de una locomotora de vapor.
Antiguamente en practicamente la totalidad de las Estaciones de España se podia ver una, aunque ahora solo en algunas Estaciones, casi todas cerradas, se pueden observar como parte de un museo.
La de la imagen se ubica en la Estación de Alamedilla - Guadahortuna, en la provincia de Granada.
Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. In Alblasserwaard, problems with water became more and more apparent in the 13th century. Large canals, called "weteringen", were dug to get rid of the excess water in the polders. However, the drained soil started setting, while the level of the river rose due to the river's sand deposits. Most of the current mills were built in 1738 and 1740 (see below).
After a few centuries, an additional way to keep the polders dry was required. It was decided to build a series of windmills, with a limited capacity to bridge water level differences, but just able to pump water into a reservoir at an intermediate level between the soil in the polder and the river; the reservoir could be let out into the river through locks whenever the river level was low enough; the river level has both seasonal and tidal variations. Although some of the windmills are still used, the main water works are provided by two diesel pumping stations near one of the entrances of the windmills site.
This image is of a foot bridge across the River Wyre close Abbeystead Reservoir in Lancashire.The reservoir is famous for a methane explosion in May 1894 when 44 visitors inside the underground pumping building were caught up in the blast.Eight were killed instantly and many others severely injured. The cause of the explosion was determined to be the seepage of methane gas from coal deposits 3,937 feet below ground.
Have a great Friday. Thanks for all your comments and 'favs' They are all read and appreciated.

This turgid outflow means that the delta is unable to flush out the minerals carried by the river and is liable to become increasingly salty and uninhabitable. Water salinity is reduced by salt collecting around plant roots as most of the incoming water is transpired by plants. Peat fires might contribute to deposit salt into layers below the surface.
As the Spring thaw commences fragments of river ice are carried by strong currents and deposited along shorelines.
Here translucent ice fragments scatter the light of a fast setting sun and glow like gems.

Perhaps these people are green with them about to recycle all these cans... but then I wonder how many times they flushed the toilet after drinking all that soda pop.
El día 27 de Octubre de 2012, en el depósito que la APPFI posee en Mòra la Nova (Tarragona), la locomotora RENFE 241F-2238, la "Bonita", lucía con dignidad y cierto orgullo su decadencia tal como se puede ver en la imagen inferior.
El pasado mes de Marzo de 2015, con ocasión del viaje turístico del "Catalán Talgo" de Barcelona a Mòra la Nova, todos cuantos nos desplazamos hasta allí tuvimos la ocasión de admirar extasiados el impresionante trabajo realizado por los infatigables y buenos amigos de aquella magnífica asociación. La APPFI nació y vive volcada en la rehabilitación de verdaderas joyas de la historia ferroviaria.
Y es que, aunque las diferencias son evidentes y notables, la nueva "Bonita", a la que aún le queda bastante camino para ver completada su restauración, presenta ya todo el inconfundible sabor y la majestuosa presencia de los grandes tiempos del mejor ferrocarril de tracción de vapor.
¿ La podéis imaginar traccionando un buen convoy formado por coches de pasajeros de los de su época ?

Panoramica compuesta por tres tomas
El Lago del Valle es el de mayor extensión de la Cordillera Cantábrica y está emplazado en un antiguo circo glaciar, con paredes subverticales y en el frente se puede observar depósitos irregulares, angulosos y de muy diferente tamaño (morrenas). Tiene forma de herradura, con una pequeña isla en el centro. Su perímetro es de unos 2.000 m, con 45 m. de calado máximo, fue recrecido artificialmente para su aprovechamiento hidroeléctrico. El valle tiene forma de U y a lo largo de él se pueden contemplar grandes bloques irregulares y estriados que fueron transportados por el antiguo glaciar, sobre algunos se observan arboles, que dan al paisaje un tono pintoresco. Se han catalogado más de 200 especies de fauna como el lobo, águila real, oso pardo, urogallo....En las zonas altas hay casas con techo de escoba (teitos) que han estado siempre ligadas a la vida trashumante y ganadera de los vaqueiros de alzada
Este cuartel defensivo fue construido, de acuerdo con el Plan O`Donnnell de 1.860, para el alojamiento de la tropa que servía en todas las baterías de la parte derecha de la bocana y que defendían el Puerto y la Base Naval de Cartagena.
Su construcción es de muro de fábrica mixta de mampostería careada de ladrillos, las bóvedas de hormigón. Es de forma rectangular con un patio interior y dos caponeras en dos de sus esquinas diametralmente opuestas, que con sus parapetos, banquetas y aspilleras correspondientes, flaqueaban los muros exteriores del edificio.
Actualmente está fuera de uso militar y desartilladas todas las baterías. Solo se conservan las barbetas de sus asentamientos, depósitos de municiones y acuartelamientos, en relativo buen estado. Es propiedad del Ministerio de Defensa.
Con fecha 7 de agosto de 1997 es declarado Bien de Interés Cultural, en la categoría de Monumento.
is getting its water from a boiling well some 30 m from the little lagoon. On the left we have a little river of clear water from a little creek uphill. On the right is a glacier river treathening to destroy the little lagoon, by braking down the precipitates of prominent, hot springs deposits, and silica fumes in the next big melting flow.
The weather was not very inviting to undress and bath, but the water was nice and hot - and can be controlled by moving a stone blocking the hot intake and another blocking the cold intake

Lord Byron on his Newfoundland
"Near this spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
if inscribed over human Ashes,
is but a just tribute to the Memory of
BOATSWAIN, a DOG
Who was born in Newfoundland May 1803
And died at Newstead Nov 18th, 1808.
When some proud son of man returns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,
The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rest below:
When all is done, upon the tomb is seen,
Not what he was, but what he should have been:
But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth:
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
The sand dunes and sand beaches are amazing on the east side of the islands - - there is huge deposits of sand on these islands from the windblown sand of the Sahara dessert which has blown across from ocean and simply been deposited here. The local tour guides like to explain it as "we are filtering the air before we send it across to North America"

One of the beautiful attractions of the Black Desert is Pyramid Mountain, a relief form that shoot up from the ground much like a pyramids out of the desert. The mountain has symmetrical sides and a pointed peak.
This natural pyramid is just a few kilometers away from Bahariya Oasis. Locals call it Magic Mountain because of the way the light plays on the texture and material of the mountain during the different hours of the day. The golden colour of this rock is very attractive, especially in the later afternoon sun.
L'ÉGLISE DE LA DÉPOSITION-DE-LA-ROBE-DE-LA-VIERGE :
L'église de la Déposition-de-la-robe-de-la-Vierge a été édifiée entre 1484 et 1485, elle est située sur la place des cathédrales dans l'enceinte du Kremlin de Moscou, entre le palais à Facettes, le palais des Terems et la cathédrale de la Dormition. La Déposition-de-la-robe-de-la-Vierge est une fête religieuse orthodoxe en l'honneur des reliques de la Vierge ramenées de Palestine et déposées solennellement dans une chapelle construite pour les recevoir à Constantinople en l'année 452.
LE PALAIS DES TÉREMS
Le palais des Térems (russe : Теремной дворец) ou du Belvédère est un palais situé dans l'enceinte du Kremlin de Moscou en Russie, qui servait naguère de lieu de résidence aux tsars. Aujourd'hui, le bâtiment n'est pas accessible au public, car il sert désormais de résidence officielle au président de la Fédération de Russie. Il illustre dans l'architecture civile du XVIIè siècle le style du baroque moscovite ou le style ouzorotché ainsi que le développement de l'architecture civile à cette époque.

Baertooh Butte (10,518 ' elev.) rises 1,613 feet above Beartooth lake on the Beartooth Plataeu in Wyoming's Absaroka Shoshone Yellowstone National Park. The peak and lake lie in Wyoming near the Montana State Line.The Butte from the lakeshore to the top is composed of Paleozoic sedimentary ocks from the Cambrian to Devonian in age (540 to 358 Million years ago). These limestone, shales, dolomites, sandstone, and minor conglomerate ere mostly deposited in a shallow seaway. In Devonian time the arae was an estuarine chanel cut down into older rocks. These beds are famous for fish and plant fossils found at the Beartooth locality.
The remnant of lower Paleozoic rock found at the Butte is preserved in the hanging wall of a northwest-trending normal fault called the Top of the World Fault. Beartooth Butte is properly termed a nunatak, or an isolated hill that once projected above the surface of glacial ice that surrounded it during the Pleistocene. Both the wedge shape of the butte and the absence of glacial deposits at its summit attest to the flow of ice from the northeast to the southwest, around Beartooth Butte. The ice flow, however, was resonsible for the depression now occupied by Beartooth Lake.

Rishton is one of the most famous and oldest centers of ceramics in Uzbekistan. Legend claims that the art is over 800 years old, passed down from generation to generation.
A fine quality reddish-yellow clay deposit 1-1.5 meters deep and 0.5-1.5 meters thick underlies almost the whole Rishton area. The clay can be used without refinement or addition of other types of clay from other regions. Besides clay, the potters of Rishton extracted various dyes, quartz sand, and fire clay from the surrounding the mountains.
The history of producing ceramics here goes back to the seventh century. In the late 19th – early 20th centuries, almost all the population of Rishton were potters. Its clay is suitable for making the whole variety of ceramic goods and the repertoire of ornamental patterns in the Rishton ceramics is one of the richest. Today, over 2000 craftsmen use both traditional techniques and modern machinery to produce over 5 million items per year. The traditional design has a blue-green glaze, called “iskor”. In the 1960s, this technique had almost died out, but has now recovered, thanks to the efforts of the artisans themselves.
Main languages spoken in this area are Tajik and Uzbek.

This image was composed during a brief road trip to Utah's Pink Coral Sand Dunes State Park.
The geology of the sand dunes is an intriguing subject. The sand comes from Navajo sandstone from the geologic period call Middle Jurassic. The same iron oxides and minerals that give us spectacular red rock country are responsible for this landscape of coral pink sand.
Sand dunes are created by three factors: Sand, high winds, and a unique influence upon the wind. The notch between the Moquith and Moccasin mountains causes this unique influence. The wind is funneled through the notch, thereby increasing wind velocity to a point where it can carry sand grains from the eroding Navajo sandstone.
This phenomenon is known as the Venturi effect. Once the wind passes through the notch and into the open valley, the wind velocity decreases, causing the sand to be deposited. These dunes are estimated at 10,000 to 15,000 years old.
Coral Pink Sand Dunes support a diverse population of insects, including the Coral Pink tiger beetle that is found only here. Melting snow sometimes creates small ponds in the dunes that support amphibians such as salamanders and toads.

The western half of North America is the breeding territory for this oriole. Wintering range is Mexico. From experience in this part of California, breeding takes place from the first week in May through last last week in July. I don't know hwere they comes from or go to, but I do know it's one of the hardest birds I've ever tried to photograph.
"Officialy," Bullock's orioles are native to western North America, though they are sometimes found as vagrants in the eastern half of the continent. During the breeding season, they are found as far west as the eastern foothills of the Cascade Range. Their breeding range stretches east to the Dakotas, Kansas, and northern Central Texas.[This species can be found as far north as British Columbia in Canada and as far south as Sonora or Durango in Mexico.4] It is common throughout its range, but is absent in parts of Arizona and Idaho, where a combination of extreme elevation and an arid climate make for poor living conditions. During winter, this species retreats to Mexico and northern Central America. Its winter range extends south and east from Sinaloa to Oaxaca.
They are secretive, usually nesting deep in oak trees with wonderful nests made of ... everything. The last nest I found was more full of plastic that the country dump (see below). Bullock's orioles are seasonally monogamous. The breeding season typically lasts from May until July. The exact timing of the beginning of the breeding season tends to vary geographically; in general, breeding begins later in the northernmost and westernmost portions of its geographic range. Mated pairs of Bullock's orioles cooperate to weave deep, pendant baskets in which are deposited between three and six eggs, though females tend to do much of the work. The nest is woven of plant fibers, primarily bark and fine grass fiber, though animal hair is also commonly used. The nest is lined with down, hair, and moss.
The call of the Bullock's Oriole is one of the best ways to home in on where it's at. A loud ratcheting sound that is given just as they take off and through the flight to landing. You miught have as many as six seconds to find and fix on this beautiful bird.
