Ao leste da Ilha de Santa Catarina, da praia do Campeche, pode-se avistar a ilha do Campeche.

 

Situada no litoral do Estado brasileiro de Santa Catarina, no Oceano Atlântico. Faz parte do território do município de Florianópolis.

 

A área da ilha do Campeche é de cerca de 381.648.00 m². Na direção norte-sul tem cerca de 1500m e na leste-oeste 500m.

 

Na costa oeste da ilha há uma linda praia de areias finas e brancas.

 

Existem marcas de ocupação bem antiga da ilha. Há rochas cobertas de sinais como os encontrados em outras partes do arquipélago. Isto faz com que a ilha seja de interesse arqueológico.

L'île de Campeche se situe dans l'océan Atlantique, sur le littoral sud du Brésil, à l'est de l'île de Santa Catarina, dans la municipalité de Florianópolis. Elle se trouve au large de la plage de Campeche, à laquelle elle a probablement donné son nom.

 

Orientée nord-sud, elle mesure environ 1,5 km de long pour 500 m de large. Sa superficie est de 0,38 km². Sur la côte nord de l'île existe une petite plage de sable fin.

 

Om y trouve des signes d'une occupation humaine très ancienne, comme des gravures sur des rochers (de même que dans d'autres îles de l'archipel), ce qui en fait un site archéologique recherché.

I'm kind of obsessed with that one on the right...I'm itching to do a whole quilt now!

This female African Buffalo posed for her portrait sporting some of the prettiest ear hair in the bush. It's easy to tell the females from the males by the hair over their foreheads. The males, in contrast, have the prominent bony bossing connecting their horns, as can be seen in the picture below in comments. The thick bony prominence over the male's head can even sometimes prevent penetration by a rifle bullet.

The African Buffalo can be up to 11 feet long and weigh up to 2000 pounds. It is one of the African “big five," and can be a very dangerous animal, as it gores and kills over 200 people every year.

Fortificação marítima abaluartada, de pequenas dimensões e alçados simples, apresenta planta estrelada no estilo maneirista, sendo constituído por quatro baluartes desiguais. A face voltada ao mar é de forma curva, sendo a face oposta é côncava. Nesta rasga-se o portão de armas, em arco de volta perfeita. Em seu interior encontram-se as dependências de serviço, formando um corredor no centro da praça.

A sua tipologia estrutural apresenta semelhanças com os fortes da Areosa e de Montedor, cuja planimetria constituiu, à época, um avanço no sistema de defesa e vigia. Acredita-se que este conjunto de fortes litorâneos possa ter sido delineado pelo mesmo arquiteto

O Trem do Corcovado é uma linha férrea localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A linha começa em Cosme Velho e segue até o cume do Corcovado, a uma altitude de 710m. O cume é famoso pela estátua do Cristo Redentor e pela vistá aérea de várias praias do Rio de Janeiro.

 

A linha possui 3,8km de extensão e utiliza um sistema de tração elétrico. A linha foi inaugurada pelo imperador Dom Pedro II em 9 de Outubro de 1884. Inicialmente utilizava tração a vapor, sendo que o sistema de tração elétrico foi instalado em 1910, se tornando pioneiro no Brasil. Em 1980 a linha foi modernizada com a compra de trens da empresa SLM, sediada na cidade de Winterthur, Suíça.

 

A linha férrea do Corcovado é uma das poucas que ainda utilizam um sistema elétrico trifásico, possuindo, assim, dois cabos aéreos.

 

A linha possui 4 trens, cada qual com dois vagões. O trajeto é completado em cerca de 20 minutos, sendo que um trem parte a cada meia hora, o que dá ao sistema uma capacidade de transporte de 360 passageiros por hora. Devido à capacidade limitada, o acesso à estação pode levar horas. A estação funciona das 8:30h às 16:30h.

 

Ao longo de seus anos, o Trem do Corcovado já recebeu vários passageiros ilustres, como o Papa Pio XII, Papa João Paulo II, Alberto Santos Dumont, Albert Einstein e Princesa Diana.

The Corcovado Rack Railway (Portuguese: Trem do Corcovado, "Corcovado Train") is a mountain railway line in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The line runs from Cosme Velho to the summit of the Corcovado Mountain at an altitude of 710 m (2330 ft). The summit is known for its statue of Christ the Redeemer and its views over the city and beaches of Rio.

 

The line is 3.8 km (2.4mi) long. It is a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3⅜ in) gauge rack railway using the Riggenbach rack system. The line was opened by Emperor Dom Pedro II on the 9th October 1884. Initially steam hauled, the line was the first railway to be electrified in Brazil in 1910, and was re-equipped in 1980 with new trains built by SLM of Winterthur in Switzerland.

 

Corcovado Rack Railway is one of the few remaining railways using three-phase electric power. As a result, the railway has two overhead wires, at 800V, 60Hz.

 

There are four trains, each made up of two cars. The rail trip takes approximately 20 minutes and departs every half hour, giving a passenger capacity of 360 passengers per hour. Due to the limited passenger capacity, the wait to board at the entry station can take several hours. The year-round schedule operates from 8:30am to 6:30pm.

 

Over the years the line has been ridden by many famous people, including Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Die Corcovado-Bergbahn führt auf den 710 m hohen Corcovado, einem der Wahrzeichen der 6-Millionen-Metropole Rio de Janeiro.

 

Die meterspurige Zahnradbahn nach dem System Riggenbach wurde 1884 eröffnet. Den Gipfel konnte man allerdings erst ab dem 1. Juli 1885 erreichen. Der Auftrag für die Bahn wurde bereits am 7. Januar 1882 durch Kaiser Dom Pedro II. erteilt. Die beiden Ingenieure Teixeira Soãres und Francesco Passos erhielten eine Konzession für den Bau der Bahn. Im Jahr 1910 wurde die eingleisige Strecke durch die Sulzer AG aus der Schweiz elektrifiziert. Sie war damit die erste elektrisch betriebene Bahn in Brasilien.

 

Die Corcovado-Bergbahn ist einer der wenigen Bahnen, die mit Drehstrom fährt. Sie hat daher zwei Oberleitungen (für zwei Phasen), ebenso wie die Jungfraubahn und Gornergratbahn; die dritte Phase bildet die Schiene.

 

Der Ausgangspunkt der Bahn befindet sich in einer Höhe von 40 müNN. In 25 Minuten fährt die Bahn auf 680 m Höhe bei einer mittleren Steigung von 16,7 %. Der steilste Abschnitt ist bis zu 30% steil. Bergauf wird mit maximal 15, bergab mit 12 km/h gefahren. In den 1979 bei der Schweizerischen Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM) in Winterthur angeschafften Fahrzeugen haben maximal 121 Personen Platz.

Campos do Jordão é um município brasileiro localizado no interior do estado de São Paulo, mais precisamente na Serra da Mantiqueira. A cidade tem altitude de 1628 metros, sendo portanto, o mais alto município brasileiro, considerando-se a altitude da sede. Sua população estimada, em 2004, era de 47.903 habitantes. Dista 167 Km da cidade de São Paulo (capital), 350Km do Rio de Janeiro (capital) e 500 Km de Belo Horizonte. Sua principal via de acesso rodoviário é a Rodovia Floriano Rodrigues Pinheiro, que tem início em Taubaté, município localizado a 45 km da cidade.

 

Campos do Jordão é chamada de Suíça Brasileira, principalmente pela sua arquitetura de influência europeia e pelo seu clima frio. Por isso, a cidade recebe maior quantidade de turistas durante a estação do inverno, especialmente no mês de julho.

   

Campos do Jordão is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population in 2003 was 47,903 and the area is 290.27 km². The elevation is 1,628 m.

The city's economy is based mainly in tourism; due to its location at high elevation (on the Mantiqueira mountains) and European-looking architecture. Buildings are mostly German, Swiss or Italian inspired. Many of the richest people from the state of São Paulo build there their winter country houses there and July (the winter season vacations) sees an enormous influx of visitors (more than quadrupling the city's population), due in part to the winter festival of classical music. Its attractions throughout the year include German and Swiss food restaurants, bars and a cable car. There are many pousadas (inns) and chalets.

There are numerous outdoor activities for winter residents and tourists. These include hiking, mountain climbing, treetop cable swings (arborismo), horseback riding, ATV riding, and motorbike riding. The mountain ranges provide unique panoramic views and much of the area is still undeveloped. Also, in order to cater to the large number of visitors, several bars, lounges, discos and clubs will open up during the winter months.

The state governor also has his winter residence there, the Boa Vista Castle.

The city, due to its elevation, is relatively cold for Brazilian standards. In summer, maximum temperatures average 24°C/75ºF and minimum temperatures average 13°C/55ºF. In winter, maximum temperatures average 18°C/64ºF and minimum temperatures average 4°C/39ºF. Temperatures drop below zero sometimes in winter (lowest ever recorded: -7.3°C/19ºF), but snow is very rare. The winter is normally the dry season and the colder weather allows for warm fireplaces and winter foods such as fondue, soups and hot chocolate. In spring and summer, one can see Hydrangea macrophylla blossoming all over the town.

Despite of the high income of many visitors, the HDI (0.820 in 2004) of Campos do Jordão is not very high because the owners of the houses in the best neighbourhoods are not regular inhabitants; these houses are used only during the holidays. The city can be reached from São Paulo mainly by road through the Rodovia Floriano Rodrigues Pinheiro. There is also a picturesque railroad from Pindamonhangaba, used mostly by tourists. At the end of the main road going through Campos do Jordao, there is a state park called Horto Florestal.

Does this look like a flamethrower from Clone Wars...after about 10 people respond...I will decide weather or not to use it in a MOC...

Let's go all the way tonight

No regrets just love

We can dance until we die

You and I, we'll be young forever

..

You make me feel

Like I'm livin' a

Teenage dream

The way you turn me on

I can't sleep

Let's run away and

Don't ever look back,

Don't ever look back

I told my son not to do that in the pool anymore, but he never listens! ;)

More pix from my unsuccessful train chase. In order to get to the location, it requires about a 1.5 mile hike to the spot. It is a very well used nature trail and the critters seem less afraid of humans than in other spots. They will be right beside the trail grazing. There were 3 in this little pack. Pix 2 and 3 were the same deer while pic 1 is the is the 3rd in the group. Deer 2 would not stand still long enough to get a good shot.

 

As an aside and for my curiosity, does anyone know of a bicyclist who has collided with a deer. the mix of traffic on the trail is crazy with the folks trying out for the Tour de France speed by as do some of the spooked deer. Wonder if the two have ever gotten together.
