The Gäuboden is a region in Lower Bavaria that covers an area about 15 kilometers wide south of the River Danube and the Bavarian Forest, beginning opposite Wörth an der Donau and stretching as far as Künzing. The largest town in the region is Straubing, which is often called the center of the Gäuboden. The Gäuboden is one of the largest loess regions in southern Germany and thus became a center of industrialized farming. As a consequence, only few hedges or alleys survived. Even solitary trees, like this one, are rare.
Sunbirds are small birds that belong to the family of spiderhunters. There are 132 species of sunbirds that can be found in Africa, Asia and Australia. Sunbirds inhabit forests, open scrublands, savannas, coastal areas, plantations, gardens and agricultural fields. Some species of sunbirds facilitate dispersal of parasitic plants, such as mistletoe, which decrease yield of commercially important plants. Seven species of sunbirds (mostly those that inhabit islands and remote or restricted areas) are endangered due to accelerated habitat loss (deforestation due to development of agriculture and industrialization).
Sunbirds can reach 4 to 10 inches in length and 0.2 to 1.6 ounces of weight. Males are larger than females.
Sunbirds are brightly colored birds, covered with various combination of green, purple, blue, red and yellow feathers. Males are more intensely colored than females (plumage often has metallic sheen).
Sunbirds have thin, downward curved bill and tubular tongue covered with bristles. They have direct, fast type of flight thanks to short wings and long tail (longer in males).
Sunbirds are diurnal birds (active during the day).
Diet of sunbirds is based mostly on nectar. They occasionally consume fruit, insects and spiders. Insects are basic source of food for the young birds (they provide proteins which are essential for growth and development).
Sunbirds can hover in front of the flowers (like hummingbirds) or perch on the branches when they extract nectar from the flowers. Despite great similarity with hummingbirds, sunbirds and hummingbirds are not closely related. Similar morphology is result of convergent evolution: unrelated species develop same morpho-anatomical features due to similar lifestyle.
Sunbirds play important role in the pollination of many tubular flowers (bees and butterflies cannot reach nectar hidden on the bottom of the "tube").
Sunbirds are non-migratory birds (sedentary birds). They reside in same habitats all year round and travel short distances toward the areas that provide more food.
Some species of sunbirds decrease body temperature and lower their metabolic rate during the night. State of decreased physiological activity, known as torpor, preserves energy.
Sunbirds produce unpleasant, insect-like calls for communication. This is one of the reasons why these birds are not popular as cage birds.
Sunbirds live in pairs or small family groups. Males are often territorial and aggressive.
Mating season of sunbirds takes place during the wet period of year. Formed couples of sunbirds mate for a lifetime (monogamous birds).
Female lays 1 to 3 eggs in the purse-shaped nest made of plant fibers, moss and spider webs. Nest hangs from the branches and holds eggs 18 to 19 days (until they hatch). Both parents participate in the rearing of the chicks.
Cuckoos and honeyguides often lay eggs in the nest of sunbirds.
Sunbirds can survive up to 7 years in the wild.

Genesis 11:2-4
New International Version
2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Bilbao es un municipio situado en el norte de España y una villa de dicho municipio, capital de la provincia y territorio histórico de Vizcaya, en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco. La villa de Bilbao es la capital y única localidad del municipio, y con 346 843 habitantes según el padrón de 2019, es la urbe más poblada de la comunidad autónoma, siendo la cabecera del área metropolitana de Bilbao, una conurbación de más de 1 000 000 de habitantes que se extiende a lo largo de la ría de Bilbao o del Nervión.
El municipio se encuentra flanqueado por dos cadenas montañosas, con una altitud media que no supera los 400 metros, y que forman algunos de sus límites naturales. Limita con Erandio, Sondica, Zamudio, Galdácano, Echévarri, Basauri, Arrigorriaga, Alonsótegui y Baracaldo.
Desde su fundación, a finales del siglo XIII, fue un enclave comercial que gozó de particular importancia en la cornisa Cantábrica gracias a los privilegios concedidos por la Corona de Castilla que permitieron el desarrollo de una gran actividad portuaria que se basaba principalmente en la exportación de la lana procedente de Castilla y en menor medida del hierro extraído de las canteras vizcaínas. A lo largo del siglo XIX y principios del XX experimentó una fuerte industrialización que la convirtió en el epicentro de la segunda región industrializada de España, por detrás de Barcelona. Esta estuvo acompañada de una extraordinaria explosión demográfica y urbanística que originó la anexión de varios municipios colindantes. En la actualidad es una pujante ciudad de servicios, que se encuentra en un proceso de revitalización estética, social y económica liderado por el simbólico Museo Guggenheim Bilbao.
El 19 de mayo de 2010, la ciudad de Bilbao fue reconocida con el premio Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, otorgado por la ciudad estado de Singapur. Considerado el Nobel del urbanismo, fue entregado el 29 de junio de 2010. El 7 de enero de 2013, su alcalde, Iñaki Azkuna, recibió el Premio Alcalde del Mundo correspondiente a 2012 que otorga cada dos años la fundación británica The City Mayors Foundation, en reconocimiento a la transformación urbana experimentada por la capital vizcaína desde la década de 1990. El 8 de noviembre de 2017, Bilbao fue elegida la Mejor Ciudad Europea 2018 en los premios The Urbanism Awards 2018, que otorga la organización internacional The Academy of Urbanism.
Bilbao is a municipality located in the north of Spain and a town in said municipality, capital of the province and historical territory of Vizcaya, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country. The town of Bilbao is the capital and only locality of the municipality, and with 346,843 inhabitants according to the 2019 census, it is the most populated city in the autonomous community, being the head of the metropolitan area of Bilbao, a conurbation of more than 1,000 000 inhabitants that extends along the Bilbao or Nervión estuary.
The municipality is flanked by two mountain ranges, with an average altitude that does not exceed 400 meters, and which form some of its natural limits. It borders with Erandio, Sondica, Zamudio, Galdácano, Echévarri, Basauri, Arrigorriaga, Alonsótegui and Baracaldo.
Since its foundation, at the end of the 13th century, it was a commercial enclave that enjoyed particular importance on the Cantabrian coast thanks to the privileges granted by the Crown of Castile that allowed the development of a large port activity that was based mainly on export. from the wool from Castile and to a lesser extent from the iron extracted from the Biscayan quarries. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries it experienced strong industrialization that made it the epicenter of the second industrialized region of Spain, behind Barcelona. This was accompanied by an extraordinary demographic and urban explosion that led to the annexation of several neighboring municipalities. Currently it is a thriving city of services, which is in a process of aesthetic, social and economic revitalization led by the symbolic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
On May 19, 2010, the city of Bilbao was recognized with the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, awarded by the city state of Singapore. Considered the Nobel Prize for urban planning, it was awarded on June 29, 2010. On January 7, 2013, its mayor, Iñaki Azkuna, received the World Mayor Award for 2012, awarded every two years by the British foundation The City Mayors Foundation. , in recognition of the urban transformation experienced by the capital of Biscay since the 1990s. On November 8, 2017, Bilbao was chosen as the Best European City 2018 at The Urbanism Awards 2018, awarded by the international organization The Academy of Urbanism.
Parc Gallet La Chaux-de-Fonds 21 10 2015 33
Merci à A.Raphaël.
Léon L. Gallet (1832–1899), watchmaker, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and past family patriarch of the Gallet Watch Company of Switzerland,[1] is considered as one of the primary architects and founders of the 19th century industrialization of the Swiss watchmaking industry.
The son of Julien Gallet (1806–1849), who moved the family watchmaking business from Geneva, Switzerland, to the manufacturing district of La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1826, Léon L. Gallet was responsible for the creation of numerous Swiss and American watch brands.[2] Among these was the prestigious Fabrique Electa, which became the upscale line of the jewelry department at Macy’s Department store in New York City during the first quarter of the 20th century. Léon L. Gallet also established the brands National Park, Continental Watch Company, Jerome Park, Bridgeport, Eureka, Commodore, Union Square, and Lady Racine.[3] While the appearance and function of many of Gallet’s timepieces were tailored to the tastes of the American consumers, all of the movements in these watches were manufactured in Switzerland.
Léon Gallet played a philanthropic role in the business, cultural, and social life of his native home. As well as his prominent position as a member of both the legislature of Neuchâtel and the Council of La Chaux-de-Fonds, he was for many years, the president of the Société des Amis des Arts (Fine Arts Society) and Grand Master of the Free Masons. Together with Louis & Jules Courvoisier, Ernest Francillon of Longines, and Constant Girard-Perregaux, Léon Gallet founded the Société Intercantonale des Industries du Jura (Intercantonal Society for the Industries of the Jura Area) in 1876. The purpose of this organization was to assist in the promotion and distribution of products from Switzerland's Watch Valley while addressing the growing threat of competition in European markets from American watch manufacturers.
Upon his death in 1899, Léon Gallet bequeathed a sum of 43,000 Swiss Francs (today equivalent to 1,000,000 Swiss Francs or approx. 1,000,000 US dollars) to his hometown of La Chaux-de-Fonds, of which 25,000 Swiss Francs were earmarked to build the Musée International d'Horlogerie (International Watch Making Museum).[4] Donated by Léon Gallet’s son Georges, the museum’s collection was started with a body of over 100 of Gallet's most complicated and valuable timepieces, including the world's first wristwatch produced for mass consumption in 1892. The balance of the bequeathed funds was used to construct the Musée des beaux-arts de La Chaux-de-Fonds (Beaux Arts Museum of La-Chaux-de-Fonds), designed by renowned painter Charles l’Eplattenier and architect René Chapallaz, Le Corbusier's architecture teacher.
Prior to his passing, Léon Gallet commissioned René Chapallaz, to design "Villa Gallet". Situated in "Parc Gallet" in the southern part of La Chaux-de-Fonds, "Villa Gallet" still retains its original name and is considered as an important historic contribution to the Swiss Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th century.

Europe, The Netherlands, Noord Brabant, Den Bosch, Design museum, 'Goth - designing darkness' exhibition (uncut)
The 'Goth – designing darkness' exhibition explores the dark side of the human mind and the human imagination & culture. The side that’s both fascinated and fearful of death, the occult and supernatural phenomena. That fascination has always been there. But in the middle of the 18th century, it came to the forefront due to the anxiety about the changing of society thru rapid urbanization and early industrialization. It was translated in funerary culture, painting and the plastic arts. It would later develop into the neurasthenia of the beginning of the 20th century. And literature brought us Mary Shelley (Frankenstein). In architecture Neo-Gothicism appeared too. It basically never went away. So it still inspires contemporary photography, cinema, video clips (Anton Corbijn), popular music (Siouxsie & the Banshees) and fashion. The exhibition offers an intriguing and eclectic historical overview. Displaying film clips featuring Bela Lugosi a.o. alongside Cuypers' neo-gothic architectural drawings.
Check it out and hurry, the exhibition closes on April 18.
This large model (beginning 20th century) shown here is informed by the fear of the urban with it high density and loss of individuality.

Saint-Jorioz, Haute-Savoie, Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes, France.
Saint-Jorioz es una ciudad de Haute-Savoie, en la región de Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, a unos diez kilómetros al sur de Annecy.
El territorio del municipio de un área de 21 km² se encuentra parcialmente en las montañas medias y altas, limita al oeste con el macizo de Semnoz que se eleva a 1660 m de altitud y al este con la orilla oeste del Lago de Annecy (443 m sobre el nivel del mar).
Habitado desde el Neolítico, vestigios de aldeas a orillas del lago que fueron descubiertos en la década de 1980, el sitio está atravesado por una vía romana en la antigüedad, pero una primera aldea no se desarrolló realmente en el siglo IX con el establecimiento de un priorato
Compuesta por muchas aldeas, la localidad que vive hasta entonces de la agricultura y la pesca se industrializa con el establecimiento de tileries que no cesaron su actividad hasta 1953. Mientras tanto, Saint-Jorioz que pertenecía al Ducado de Saboya tiene Fue adscrito a Francia en 1860.
La proximidad de Annecy y el desarrollo del turismo relacionado con el lago y las estaciones de deportes de invierno que lo rodean durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX impulsan la demografía de la ciudad, que ahora cuenta con casi 6.000 habitantes.
Su playa, su puerto, su ocio relacionado con su entorno preservado hacen de Saint-Jorioz, que pertenece al Parque Natural Regional del Massif des Bauges, un paso o un popular destino turístico.
Saint-Jorioz is a town in Haute-Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, about ten kilometers south of Annecy.
The territory of the municipality of an area of 21 km² is located partly in the middle and high mountains, bounded to the west by the Semnoz massif which rises to 1660 m altitude and to the east by the west shore of Lake Annecy (443 m above sea level).
Inhabited since Neolithic times, traces of lakeside villages that were discovered in the 1980s, the site is crossed by a Roman road in antiquity, but a first village did not really develop in the 9th century with the establishment of a priory
Composed of many villages, the town that lived until then from agriculture and fishing became industrialized with the establishment of tileries that did not cease their activity until 1953. Meanwhile, Saint-Jorioz which belonged to the Duchy of Savoy has been attached to France in 1860.
The proximity of Annecy and the development of tourism related to the lake and the winter sports resorts that surround it during the second half of the 20th century boost the demography of the city, which now numbers almost 6,000 inhabitants.
Its beach, its port, its leisure linked to its preserved environment make Saint-Jorioz, which belongs to the Massif des Bauges Regional Natural Park, a step or a popular tourist destination.

Butte began in the late 1800s as a gold and silver mining camp. At the turn of the century, the development of electricity and the industrialization of America resulted in a massive copper boom, and Butte flourished. As copper mining ramped up and the city grew, it attracted workers from all over the globe, creating a unique cosmopolitan setting against the backdrop of the Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains. The influx of miners also gave Butte its hardscrabble reputation as a place where anything was possible, spawning a famous saloon and red light district, 'Venus Alley,' along Mercury Street. Today the main remnant of the wild old days is the Dumas Brothel, which operated until 1982, but the cultures of the many ethnic groups who came to work in Butte can still be found throughout the community, primarily in foods like the Cornish pasty, Slavic povitica and Scandinavian lefse, just to name a few.
The increasing demand for copper caused the copper mining industry in Butte to become one of the first centralized and industrialized businesses in the world. By the first decade of the 1900s,
The consolidation of mining interests placed heavy demands on the immigrant workers who toiled in the mines under harsh conditions. This situation led Butte to the forefront of labor organization and unionism, and it was one of the first cities in the world where the battle between labor and management played out.
Strikes and other conflicts sometimes turned violent, and conflicts were not only labor vs management. At times, unions vying for control turned against one another. Tensions broke loose during flashpoint events, such as the dynamiting of the Butte Miner's Union Hall in 1914 and the lynching of labor activist and International Workers of the World(IWW) organizer Frank Little in 1917. At the peak of the labor conflict, martial law was declared in Butte from 1914 until 1921, the longest period of military occupation in the U.S. since the reconstruction era.
While numbers vary, the Butte population peaked in 1920 at more than 60,000. Some reports claim as many as 100,000 lived in the area. However, increasing industrialization of the mining process caused the town's growth to level off and then enter a long period of decline that became the most pronounced in 1955 with the opening of the Berkeley Pit. The Pit marked a transition from primarily underground mining to the much less labor-intensive open pit mining.
The Berkeley Pit operated until 1982, when increasing costs and low copper prices resulted in a full shutdown. Most underground mines had been closed in the 1970s, so for the first time in its history, Butte was a mining town without a mine. During the 1980s, the population declined before stabilizing around 32,000 in the early 1990s.
High energy costs and low copper prices again caused mining to cease in 2000, but the closure did not last long. Montana Resources resumed operations at the Continental Pit in 2002 on the heels of sharply rising copper prices, and that facility continues to operate today.
The late 1990s and early 21st century also marked a turning point for the mining-scarred environment of Butte. While the city still bears many prominent visual remnants of mining, the environmental effects of that century of industry are being actively remediated and restored through the federal Superfund program and a unique State of Montana lawsuit against the responsible companies. The net result is over $1 billion (yes, billion) dollars toward environmental restoration in the Butte area,

The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up construction began in 1898 on a new site. Most of the buildings of the colliery were built in solid brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine house, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery used in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework construction with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled main entrance was designed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big control board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the site include administration bureaus, blacksmith's shop and carpenter's shop, first-aid and fire station with stable, pithead baths, tools store and the central gateway.
In 1969, three years after it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international importance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

Europe, Aegean, Greece, Lesvos, Agia Paraskevi, Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production, Production hall.
Let's delve into the archives to visit a particularily intersting industrial museum: Lesvos' Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production.
From the website of the museum: "The Museum of Industrial Olive-Oil Production of Lesvos presents the industrial phase of olive-oil production in Greece. It focuses on the changes brought about by the introduction of mechanical motion on the process of olive-oil production and approaches the contribution of the region's inhabitants to the production process with sensitivity.
Its objective is to showcase Lesbos' industrial heritage in the sector of olive-oil production and incorporate it into the broader architectural, social and cultural context of the period. The Museum is housed in the old communal olive press of Aghia Paraskevi on the island of Lesvos. The buildings and the mechanical equipment have been restored in an exemplary fashion. Thus, you can observe how the equipment functions and how the factory evolved from steam power to diesel engine operation. At the same time, you will acquaint yourselves with daily life at the «People's Machine». "
As can be seen on the left of the frame is the vintage way of transfer of energy from the first phase of industrialization: a central steam engine that drives the production machinery via shafts and belts.
This number 51 of the Lesbos album.
A physical and material symbol of the industrialization of the big cities in the beginning of the 20th century, it was here that those that were going downtown parked their cars in the 1940s. A project by architect Mário Abreu, inaugurated in 1939, it is right in front of Porto’s Coliseum. The building has four floors and its lines are art deco, and it distinguishes itself by the neon sign that depicts the roads that would connected the north to the south of the country back then. The ground floor is occupied by services that kept changing along the years, but we can highlight the barbershop that resisted to the several transformations of society. On top of the building, on the fourth floor, the bar, cultural association and residency space Maus Hábitos settled around the year 2000 – it is the apartment space with a privileged view over the city of Porto.
Als physisches und materielles Symbol der Industrialisierung der Großstädte zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts parkten hier in den 1940er Jahren die Autos, die in die Innenstadt fuhren. Das 1939 eingeweihte Projekt des Architekten Mário Abreu befindet sich direkt gegenüber dem Kolosseum von Porto. Das vierstöckige Gebäude ist im Art-déco-Stil gehalten und zeichnet sich durch eine Leuchtreklame aus, auf der die Straßen dargestellt sind, die damals den Norden mit dem Süden des Landes verbanden. Im Erdgeschoss befinden sich Dienstleistungen, die sich im Laufe der Jahre immer wieder änderten, wobei der Friseurladen hervorzuheben ist, der den verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen standhielt. Auf dem Dach des Gebäudes, im vierten Stock, hat sich um das Jahr 2000 die Bar, Kulturvereinigung und Wohnstätte Maus Hábitos niedergelassen - eine Wohnung mit einem privilegierten Blick auf die Stadt Porto.

Where Sumas Lake once existed industrialized farms now grow crops in the rich fertile soil of the former lake bottom. Here can be found turf farms, tulip growers, vegetable gardens along with irrigation streams and soil carved into perfectly straight rows.
Peat, also known as turf, is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. It is unique to natural areas called peatlands, bogs, mires, moors, or muskegs.
The peatland ecosystem is the most efficient carbon sink on the planet, because peatland plants capture CO2 naturally released from the peat, maintaining an equilibrium. In natural peatlands, the "annual rate of biomass production is greater than the rate of decomposition", but it takes "thousands of years for peatlands to develop the deposits of 1.5 to 2.3 m [4.9 to 7.5 ft], which is the average depth of the boreal [northern] peatlands".
Sphagnum moss, also called peat moss, is one of the most common components in peat, although many other plants can contribute. The biological features of Sphagnum mosses act to create a habitat aiding peat formation, a phenomenon termed 'habitat manipulation'. Soils consisting primarily of peat are known as histosols. Peat forms in wetland conditions, where flooding or stagnant water obstructs the flow of oxygen from the atmosphere, slowing the rate of decomposition.
Peatlands, particularly bogs, are the primary source of peat, although less-common wetlands including fens, pocosins, and peat swamp forests also deposit peat. Landscapes covered in peat are home to specific kinds of plants including Sphagnum moss, ericaceous shrubs, and sedges (see bog for more information on this aspect of peat). Because organic matter accumulates over thousands of years, peat deposits provide records of past vegetation and climate by preserving plant remains, such as pollen. This allows the reconstruction of past environments and study changes in land use.
Peat is harvested as an important source of fuel in certain parts of the world. By volume, there are about 4 trillion cubic metres (5.2 trillion cubic yards) of peat in the world, covering a total of around 2% of the global land area (about 3 million square kilometres or 1.2 million square miles), containing about 8 billion terajoules of energy. Over time, the formation of peat is often the first step in the geological formation of other fossil fuels such as coal, particularly low-grade coal such as lignite.
Depending on the agency, peat is not generally regarded as a renewable source of energy, due to its extraction rate in industrialized countries far exceeding its slow regrowth rate of 1 mm per year, and as it is also reported that peat regrowth takes place only in 30-40% of peatlands. Because of this, the UNFCCC, and another organization affiliated with the United Nations classified peat as a fossil fuel.
However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has begun to classify peat as a "slowly renewable" fuel. This is also the classification used by many in the peat industry. At 106 g CO2/MJ, the carbon dioxide emission intensity of peat is higher than that of coal (at 94.6 g CO2/MJ) and natural gas (at 56.1) (IPCC).
Oregon City, Clackamas County, Oregon, Pacific Northwest, USA
"Willamette Falls is the largest waterfall by volume in the Northwest, dropping 42 feet over a horseshoe-shaped ledge with a crest length of approximately 1,500 feet. Due to the industrialization of Oregon City, the falls have lost most of its natural appeal. The land on both sides of the river immediately adjacent to the falls harbors, among other facilities, a hydroelectric station, a paper mill and one of the oldest set of operational locks in the United States. Prior to the development of the area, it is though the falls may have spanned as much as 2,500 feet across.
"The Willamette River is of considerable size, and can produce average rates of flow from 6,000 cubic feet per second in the summer months up to and over 60,000 cubic feet per second during the rainy season in the winter. During periods of flooding, the river frequently crests above 100,000 cubic feet per second at the falls. However, due to the development around the falls, a considerable portion of the river is siphoned off; several fish ladders, the locks, auxiliary spillways, and the hydroelectric system can result in as much as 7000-9000 cfs of water being diverted away from the falls (the exact amount is not clear). This results in the falls being drawn nearly dry in the summer months, but during the winter it still flows strong.”

Former coal mine Consolidation (reflection)
Die Zeche bestand von 1848-1993. Das Verbundbergwerk Consolidation/Nordstern verfügte über 15 Schächte. Die Hauptfördersohlen lagen bei 1040 m (Nordschacht) und 1100 m (Consolidation). Das Verbundbergwerk erzielte 1988 noch eine Förderung von 3,4 Mill. t.
Der Grund warum viele Zechen im Ruhrgebiet einen englichen Namen haben liegt darin begründet, das die Industrialisierung ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts häufig von englischen und irischen Unternehmern finanziert wurde. Englische Ingenieurskunst im Schachtbau war damals unglaublich weit fortgeschritten. Daher stammen auch Zechennamen wie Consolidation, Erin, Hibernia oder Shamrock.Ein Name ist besonders mit dem Ruhrgebiet verbunden: Thomas Mulvany, ein irischer Unternehmer nach dem viele Strassen und Plätze benannt wurden.
The mine existed from 1848-1993. The consolidated mine Consolidation / Nordstern had 15 shafts. The main production levels were 1040 m (north shaft) and 1100 m (Consolidation). In 1988 the composite mine still achieved a production of 3.4 million t.
The reason why many mines in the Ruhr area have an English name is due to the fact that the industrialization from the middle of the 19th century was often financed by English and Irish entrepreneurs. English engineering in shaft construction was incredibly advanced at the time. This is where mining names such as Consolidation, Erin, Hibernia or Shamrock come from. One name is particularly associated with the Ruhr area: Thomas Mulvany, an Irish entrepreneur after whom many streets and squares were named.

The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up construction began in 1898 on a new site. Most of the buildings of the colliery were built in solid brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine house, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery used in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework construction with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled main entrance was designed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big control board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the site include administration bureaus, blacksmith's shop and carpenter's shop, first-aid and fire station with stable, pithead baths, tools store and the central gateway.
In 1969, three years after it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international importance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
All of the industrialized section of the picture is in Bayonne, New Jersey and the area of dark blue and green is Staten Island which is connected by the dark colored Bayonne Bridge, All further land in the distance is in New Jersey.

Ignacio Zuloaga (1870-1945)
Around 1900, in the wake of industrialization and Spain's growing orientation towards a modern Europe, the painter Ignacio Zuloaga strove to preserve the Spanish soul, painting proud bullfighters, flamenco dancers, beggars, witches and a simple rural population in vast withered landscapes, under the scorching sun. In his paintings he combined a realistic style of representation with symbolic elevation.

Here's a scan of an old print from long ago. I don't have access to my old hand written notebooks so I don't know when this was taken but I certainly know where.
On the west bank of the Mississippi River exists a stretch of street running that is pretty special as it is the easternmost surving strwtch of track of the once vast and mighty Golden Empire. The Southern Pacific Railroad's T&NO reached the Mississippi River in the west bank neighborhood of Algiers in yhe City of New Orleans. Prior to the opening of the Huey P. Long Bridge in 1935 this was their mainline, and all trains terminated at a yard in Algiers (where the T&NO also once had a large shop) from which trains were ferried across to downtown.
For the remainder of the SP’s life the old main remained as an 8 mile industrial branch serving myriad customers along the industrialized waterfront. Following the 1996 UP merger, most of this ex SP branch was removed in favor of UP’s parallel ex TP-MP branch to Goldsboro Yard. However both roads ran through the town of Gretna on street running segments nearly a half mile long with the MoPac on 3rd St and the Espee one block south on 4th St. After the merger the UP abandoned the old MP section down the narrower 3rd St. retaining the ex SP street running and building dog leg connections and each end to and from the other RofW. With the rest of the line and the old Algiers yard having been removed that made this street running segment the most easterly surviving portion of the Southerm Pacific remaining in service. In 2003 even this little bit of the SP disappeared from UP's system when the line south of Westwego Yard was leased to the New Orleans and Gulf Coast Railroad which continues to operate it today.
So it was quite the treat the catch one of UP’s locals working back west down the middle of the street with an SP GP38-2 in unpatched paint nearly 6 years after the merger and shortly before UP relinquished this line. This particular geep is interesting in that it is not one of SP's 45 bought new units as given away by the nose headlight. This unit was blt. Oct. 1972 as Louisville and Nashville 4089 and was one of 28 ex CSXT units leased Helm Leasing, under various agreements in the ewrly 1990s. Originally numbered in the 151 to 170 series (not contiguous) these units were rebuilt by AMF-Montreal and painted in Southern Pacific paint, but still under lease. With the imminent arrival of the AC4400's, numbered in the same range, the GP38-2's were renumbered after the oroginal SP units built in 1980. The lovingly restored 1906 freight depot sits in its original location on the street and is now home to the Gretna Historical Society.

We were on the Jacobite train returning from Mailig to Fort William. This was the view as we approached Loch Shiel. Fort William is a town in the western Scottish Highlands, on the shores of Loch Linnhe. It’s known as a gateway to Ben Nevis, the U.K.’s highest peak
These hills are nearly treeless apparently due to the settlement by humans and particularly due to the effects of industrialization and overgrazing by sheep and other animals. Sad.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welland_Canal:
The Welland Canal is a ship canal in Ontario, Canada, and part of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes Waterway. The canal traverses the Niagara Peninsula between Port Weller on Lake Ontario and Port Colborne on Lake Erie, and was built because the Niagara River—the only natural waterway connecting the lakes—was unnavigable due to Niagara Falls. The Welland Canal enables ships to ascend and descend the Niagara Escarpment, and has followed four different routes since it opened.
The Welland Canal passes about 3,000 ships which transport about 40 million tonnes (88 billion pounds) of cargo a year. It was a major factor in the growth of the city of Toronto, Ontario. The original canal and its successors allowed goods from Great Lakes ports such as Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Chicago, as well as other heavily industrialized areas of the United States and Ontario, to be shipped to the Port of Montreal or to Quebec City, where they were usually reloaded onto ocean-going vessels for international shipping.
Since its initial opening on November 30, 1829, the canal has been reconstructed numerous times to accommodate larger vessels and provide for quicker navigation. The First Welland Canal was excavated between 1824 and 1829, and operated until 1845. The Second Welland Canal, built between 1841 and 1845, had locks made of stone rather than wood, and had greater width and depth than the First Canal; it remained in operation for nearly a century before closing permanently in 1935. The Third Welland Canal, built between 1872 and 1877, was deeper and wider still and cut a straighter path through the escarpment, and featured 26 masonry locks lined with wood to protect ships rubbing against the sides or bottom; it operated alongside the second canal, and was also closed in 1935. The Fourth Welland Canal, which remains in operation, began construction in 1913 and, after a delay due to World War I, was completed in 1932. It is deeper and wider than the Third Canal, with an opening that permits two large ships to pass in opposite directions, and it reduced the number of locks to eight, as compared with the 40 locks of the First Canal.
The Welland Canal eclipsed other, narrower canals in the region, such as the Trent-Severn Waterway and the Erie Canal (which linked the Atlantic and Lake Erie via New York City and Buffalo, New York), by providing a shorter, more direct connection from Port Colborne on Lake Erie to Port Weller on Lake Ontario.
The southern terminus of the canal on Lake Erie is 99.5 metres (326 feet) higher than the northern terminus on Lake Ontario. The canal includes eight 24.4-metre-wide (80 ft) ship locks. Seven of the locks (Locks 1–7, the 'Lift' locks) are 233.5 m (766 ft) long, and raise (or lower) passing ships by between 13 and 15 m (43 and 49 ft) each. The southernmost lock, (Lock 8 – the 'Guard' or 'Control' lock) is 349.9 m (1,148 ft) in length.
The Garden City Skyway passes over the canal, which means the masts of ships passing through the canal can be no higher than 35.5 m (116 ft). All other highway or railroad crossings of the Welland Canal are either movable bridges (of the vertical lift or bascule bridge types) or tunnels. The maximum permissible length of a ship in this canal is 225.5 metres (740 feet). It takes an average of about eleven hours for a ship to traverse the Welland Canal.

Eriadu is a planet located in the Outer Rim territories of the galaxy, known for its industrialized cities and strong Imperial presence. The planet was once a hub for trade and commerce, but it has since become a stronghold for the Galactic Empire, who have used its resources to fuel their military campaigns.
One of the ways the Imperials maintain control on Eriadu is through their constant patrols throughout the planet's cities and towns. These patrols are tasked with enforcing Imperial law and stamping out any criminal activity. One of the activities that the Imperials are particularly concerned about is the illegal sabacc games that take place in the planet's seedy underbelly.
Sabacc is a popular card game, often played for high stakes, and it attracts a wide variety of players including smugglers and bounty hunters, who are looking for a quick way to earn money. The Imperials have banned the game, as it is seen as a form of gambling and a distraction from their goal of maintaining control over the planet.
As a result, Imperial patrols frequently raid known sabacc dens and arrest any individuals found to be playing the game. This has made it difficult for those who wish to play sabacc on Eriadu, as they must constantly be on the lookout for Imperial patrols and avoid detection.
Despite the Imperial's efforts, there are still those who continue to play the game in secret, risking arrest or worse. For them, the thrill of the game and the potential rewards outweigh the risks, making Eriadu a planet where one must always be careful and aware of their surroundings.

I figured the Kurt Schumacher bridge might give me a good view of the city... wrong. Anyways, the harbor and the BASF - the huge aggregate of chemistry factories in the background that literally stretches for kilometers - is impressive. I'd say it was worth the detour.
