Red Fleet State Park lies at an elevation of 5,500 feet (1,700 m) in northeastern Utah, immediately south of the Uinta Mountains.
The climate is arid with hot summers and cold winters. Surrounded by red slick rock formations, the park got its name from three large Navajo sandstone outcrops that look like a fleet of ships as they jut up from the reservoir.
Das Herrengrabenfleet ist ein Fleet in der Hamburger Innenstadt.
Von 1475 bis 1547 wurde zum Schutz des damaligen Stadtgebiets (dem heutigen Stadtteil Hamburg-Altstadt entsprechend) vor die Stadtgräben des 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts eine neue Befestigungslinie mit Wällen und Gräben gezogen. So wurde 1499 der „Herrengraben“ als äußerer Verteidigungsgraben (Stadtgraben) vor der Stadtmauer des Spätmittelalters, dem Neuen Wall, angelegt. Auf der Innenseite war der Neue Wall vom heutigen Alsterfleet gesäumt.[1] Der Name Herrengraben soll auf das alleinige Fischerei-Nutzungsrecht der Ratsherren (Senatsmitglieder) zurückgehen.
1546 wurde der Herrengraben verbreitert und nordöstlich durch das Bleichenfleet verlängert, das bis fast an die Binnenalster heranreichte. Die Verteidigungslinie wurde 1625 nach Westen verlegt und durch die Hamburger Wallanlagen ersetzt. 1765 wurde das Fleet zu einem 25 Meter breiten Kanal ausgeweitet, vertieft und mit der Elbe verbunden.[1]
Das Gebiet zwischen Herrengraben, Bleichenfleet und Alsterfleet wird heute „Fleetinsel“ genannt, wenngleich es im eigentlichen Sinne keine Insel ist.[2] Der Altbaubestand dieses Gebiets ist eines der letzten nicht zerstörten Ensembles der für Hamburg typischen Kontorhäuser. Die Speichergebäude aus dem 17. bis 19. Jahrhundert konnten direkt vom Wasser aus beliefert werden, die Schreibstuben der Kontore lagen in den repräsentativen Gebäudeteilen zur Admiralitätstraße. Seit Ende der 1980er Jahre ist die Fleetinsel ein Zentrum des Hamburger Kunstmarkts: Neben zehn Galerien für zeitgenössische Kunst sind auch Kunstbuchhandlungen und Ateliers angesiedelt.
The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.

Die Hamburger Fleete sind zum Teil aus den Mündungsarmen von Alster und Bille in die Elbe hervorgegangen, die dann zur Entwässerung und als Stadtgräben zur Verteidigung genutzt wurden; zum anderen Teil wurden sie als weitere Überlaufgräben der später aufgestauten Alster angelegt. Schließlich dienten die Fleete zunehmend dem Warenverkehr.

The three stars at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia: the 1902 cast-iron tug, Jupiter; the USS Olympia, hero of the Spanish-American War, and the barque Moshulu, a floating restaurant, all moored near where William Penn landed in his "greene country towne." The tug gets to roam around for periodic parades and rides; the others are permanently fixed in place.

Most of these mills were erected to help drain the low-lying marshes. These mills were wind powered, construction dates range from the late 1700's to the late 1800's. Electrically operated pumps are used these days.

My 1983 Ford Sierra 1.6 L
The 'biege thing' we call it. The project Sierra has sat for a month if not more being unused. Most set backs have been due to a limited parts supply. Despite sitting, the Sierra bursts into life with every key turn, it's much more eager than my low mileage example. Running lumpy when cold, once warmed up the engine is fantastic - it's definitely a car that wants to live.
There's a question mark over what to do with the beige Sierra. Now that the red Sierra wants for a couple hundred pounds thrown at it, I feel it should receive my immediate attention instead in order to preserve its condition. Whist financially doable, if push comes to shove I may sell this car - of course, most reluctantly. This car is in no way replaceable..
In an ideal world I think I'd like to push this into a garage and return to it in a year when I'm not juggling Uni, my new job, what to do with the Getz and putting money into the red Sierra instead.
