Especially effective You can visit that at this place, the Rhein Falls from Schaffhausen. On average 373 cubic meters of water are falling down the rocks per second. On the maximum in 1965 it were 1250 cubic meters per second. That makes that waterfall to one of the three largest in europe.
Dies kann man besonders eindrucksvoll an diesem Ort miterleben, den Rheinfällen bei Schaffhausen. Im Durchschnit stürzen hier 373 Kubikmeter Wasser den Fels hinunter. Maximal waren es 1965 sogar 1250 Kubikmeter pro Sekunde. Damit ist dieser Wasserfall einer der drei größten in Europa.
I worked in a materials testing lab for a time after graduating from college. One of the items we regularly tested were hydrants. If I remember correctly they had to hold 250 pounds per square inch for a specified period of time and not leak or lose pressure. Normal house water pressure is 40 to 60 psi. Pretty amazing piece of work considering the design and how many lives this has saved. Shot with a Fujica ST801 and Takumar Super Multi Coated 55mm f2 lens.

Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).
Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing
The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.
Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.
Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.
Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.
Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."
After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.
During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.
Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.
I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.
The Reduviidae are a large cosmopolitan family of the order Hemiptera (true bugs). They are unusual among the Hemiptera because almost all are terrestrial ambush predators (most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic). The main examples of nonpredatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae. Though spectacular exceptions are known, most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable; they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis (sometimes called a rostrum). Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis. Predatory Reduviidae use the long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. The saliva contains enzymes that digest the tissues they swallow. This process is generally referred to as extraoral digestion. The saliva is commonly effective at killing prey substantially larger than the bug itself. 2201
..effectivement , elle poussait sur un mur ...
Ces petites choses que l'on ne regarde jamais , toujours occupés à poursuivre un but quelquonque , qui une fois atteint , sera remplacé par un autre ...la vie se passe dans l'instant, y être disponible relève de la perfection de l'instant ..
... indeed, it was growing on a wall ...
These little things that we never look at, always busy pursuing some goal, which once achieved, will be replaced by another ... life happens in the moment, being available is a matter of perfection
Spring green is very much in the picture of this neighborhood in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, May 14, 2019. The middle of May is the best time to take the lovely pastel colors associated with springtime in the Boston metropolitan area.

Great reflection and use of the angles as well.
You're good at making simple but terribly effective pictures.

I see a few of these run around the Borough and seem to be very effective at sweeping up litter and rubbish.

There's nothing special about the angle, or the train, just some winter sunlight and fresh snow on the hills.
CN Q117 hustles through the town of Rosedale, nearing the end of its unopposed run through the Directional Running Zone. Ahead lies slow orders, and a lineup of trains queuing up to meet opposing traffic as they approach metro Vancouver, British Columbia.
The background is dominated by the snow capped peaks of Mount Cheam, a 6,903ft summit in the Cascade Range, and the effective eastern end of the Fraser River Valley. This snow is fresh, and only the second round of snow to touch the higher elevations in the area this winter. As of now, Vancouver and the Fraser Valley have yet to have any snow touch down at ground level. I do enjoy the 'frosted' peaks as background, but am fine without having to commute in the white stuff.
At the end of the nineties, two Unit Cargos to Kijfhoek passed Moordrecht one after the other at the beginning of the evening: from Amsterdam Westhaven and Arnhem Goederen. Both trains were interesting not only because of the ever-changing composition, but also because of the frequent transport of dispatch locomotives. On May 11, 1998, the train from Amsterdam was pulled by NS 1601 'Amsterdam' with the 1638 'Groningen' and 1132 behind it. The 1600s were not yet marred by the ugly air conditioning units on the roof at that time: an open door is just as effective.
A female Rose-breasted Grosbeak balances on a very slim branch following a freak spring snowstorm on the northern prairie. This seed-eater is related to the cardinals, which also includes the buntings and tanagers.
The snow was so bright that it made house windows extra-reflective, and a number of people here reported bird deaths from collisions. The most effective strategy seems to be to place colourful post-it notes at random on any large pane of glass; the birds then recognize it as a solid object and don't try to fly through it. This worked for two of my friends: no more collisions.
Reflected light from the snow was a bonus for this photographer, as it kept the birds' underparts bright. I made this shot in my artist friend Laureen Marchand's backyard, near her feeders, where hundreds of birds gathered in the aftermath of the freak May snowstorm. She is @laureenartist on Instagram.

Located north of Center City, the Richmond Power Generating Station (1924-25) was built and operated by the Philadelphia Electrical Company (PECO). Designed by Chief PECO engineer W.C.L Eglin and architect John Torrey Windrim, it has a Turbine Hall 125 feet high featuring an arched ceiling as the choice of Beaux-Arts Neoclassical designed deliberately chosen by PECO.
"It looks like the temple for steampunk." commented by Aaron Wunsch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
With two of its four turbo-generator units installed and twelve of its 24 planned boilers put into place, the station was generating 100,000 kilowatts of electricity a year.
In 1935, a third unit rated at 165 MW (by Westinghouse) was installed; it was powered by two pulverized coal-fired boilers that gave it an effective rating of 135 MW.
In 1951, a fourth unit, rated at 185 MW was added; it ran at a steam pressure of 1200 psi (as opposed to 400 psi). Also, it was hydrogen-cooled instead of air-cooled like the other units.
Over time, technology, the environment, and politics changed, and this coal-fed behemoth was converted to gas with Philadelphia’s clean-air act in the 1970s. The station was ultimately retired in 1985, during a period when Philadelphia’s population, industry, and employment were at all-time lows.
Since this time, the historic buildings have been closed, though accessed occasionally as sets for movies like “Transformers 2” and “Twelve Monkeys” (how that psychotherapy was originated).
