I first glimpsed this old house from the corner of my eye while driving along an adjacent street. It was one of a billion such scenes my eye takes in while traveling just about anywhere. In this case I just caught a quick glimpse as I passed. But it left a strong impression and planned to make my way back here for a closer look. I timed my return to coincide with awful weather, unreasonably cold, damp and windy. I wanted this as the visual backdrop. Also working in these conditions minimizes the chances of encountering people. The house simply looked lonely when I first noticed it. But up close the loneliness seemed intentional. The front window was boarded off with well weathered plywood. The first floor windows were covered not with curtains but bedsheets and towels. The upper floor windows were not covered at all. The absence of upper floor window treatments made the impromptu ones on the first floor even more nefarious...not there as a house warming touch but only to block prying eyes. The house and yard bore none of the trappings of family life. No decorations, birdhouses, lawn furniture, nothing at all. The old TV antenna was the only sign of easy living, and even that was a stretch. It's one of those places that you can't even be sure is vacant. I approached nervously, walking the road in front of the house, pausing now and then to look. All the while it felt like I was being observed. Perhaps by someone inside the house, lurking behind the bedsheet curtains. Quite likely someone not enamored with photography. I really just wanted to keep walking but resolved not to leave without getting the photos I came for. I shot from several angles, and continued even after I had moved past the house. This view is looking back uphill. The house actually has more presence from a distance. Perhaps the context of its location up on the hill added to the menacing effect. Felt good to finally get away from here. More like an escape than an orderly departure. I still had some distance to cover walking back to my car. Didn't begin to relax until I had driven away.

Es el reflejo de la adaptación del hombre al medio que le rodea y en el que habita. Las casas estan hechas con barro, normalmente con adobe, que es un ladrillo grueso de barro con mezcla de paja y grijo menudillo secado al sol, utilizado como material único.
Las paredes exteriores se revocaban con un paño y se les añadÃa paja trillada para que diera un aspecto liso.Todas tenÃan planta rectangular, las fachadas son lisas con ventanas, puertas y el portón con salida al corral o al portal. En el corral suele haber huertos donde cultivaban las verduras y hortalizas que utilizaban para su propio consumo, un gallinero, conejeras, un horno, cobertizos…

Enough of the nicey-nicey landscapey-type shots (popular though they prove to be in Exploreland).
I went to see the Kevin Cummins exhibition "Joy Division Exemplar" at Manchester Photographic today. If you like iconic rock photography and/or Joy Division then it's definitely worth checking out. It's on till the end of Feb I believe...and it's free (bargain at half the price).
This was snapped on the way back to the workhouse. I liked how the different materials used came together...or something like that...waffle waffle.

Traslado de material compuesto por 333-402 + 490-009 + 490-001 procedente de Valencia-Fuente San Luis y con destino en La Sagra a su paso por la estación de Alfafar-Benetússer.
Después de la famosa noticia del traslado de los Alaris a La Sagra decidimos quedar esa misma noche Adrián, Vicente y yo para darle caza cerca de Valencia ya que andábamos liados y subir más arriba lo veÃamos una pérdida de tiempo.
Como no circulaban CercanÃas a la hora a la que se efectuó descartamos ir a la Torre a hacer una nocturna, ya que no pararÃa, y por tanto nos decantamos por ir al puente peatonal de Alfafar, la cual fue una excelente idea por parte de Vicente.
A pesar de no ser una gran foto, además de ser a pulso e ir la composición a poco más de 30 km/h, creo que valió la pena dejar constancia de este traslado en nuestra ciudad ya que desconozco qué será de ellos ni adónde irán a parar.
Aprovecho para desearos a todos una feliz navidad y felices fiestas.

Brickell Key is largely regarded as paradise in the heart of Miami. It has come a long way from being an aggregation of discarded dredge material. Like so many islands found in Biscayne Bay, Brickell Key is a man-made creation.
When the Brickell's arrived at the south side of the Miami River in 1871, William Brickell built a home and trading post. The location of these buildings would later be referred to as Brickell Point. When the Brickell's looked east from their home, they saw nothing but bay water from Brickell Point to the peninsula that would later become Miami Beach. It wasn’t until Henry Flagler began to develop the city of Miami in 1896 that that view started to change. Flagler’s team removed a sand bar at the mouth of the Miami River. The team also used a dredge to deepen the river and bay adjacent to Flagler’s Royal Palm Hotel to create the first port of Miami.
The dredging of the Miami River was a point of contention for William Brickell. As part of the effort to deepen the Miami River, those that Flagler put in charge of dredging began to dump limestone and river silt along and just off the shore east of the Brickell property. It was the discard off the shoreline that began to create the first of two spoil islands.
During the dredging of the Miami Canal in 1912, the larger of two spoil islands ended up being expanded with additional river discard. The downstream dredge activity created a lot of free river silt that made its way to the mouth of the Miami River. This silt was then gathered and dumped in the area of the spoil islands. At this time, a smaller spoil island was forming to the southeast of the larger island. It was believed to have come from digging out a vessel that went aground on that spot.
By 1914, the widowed Mary Brickell was quite wealthy from land transactions. During the summer of that year, she had offered to remove the spoil islands at her own expense. The spoil islands were considered a nuisance and even Dr. James Jackson, the physician for the Royal Palm Hotel and later the namesake for Jackson Memorial Hospital, declared the islands to be a menace to the health and welfare of the public. The islands were considered unsightly, difficult to navigate and possessing an unpleasant odor. Mary Brickell had intended to pump the spoil material of the islands into some low lying areas on her property. However, there was enough opposition to her proposal that it was not accepted.
The fate of the islands changed in 1916. By late spring, the Florida Internal Improvement Fund (FII), placed in ad to solicit bids for the land mass. Bids ranged from $10.10 to $3000 per acre for the five acre island. Mary Brickell’s bid was $750 for the entire parcel. Her bid was not the winning bid. On June 21st, 1916, the IIF trustees accepted the highest bid and ordered a deed to be issued to Mrs. M.R. Burlingame.
Mrs. Burlingame was a business woman who moved to Miami from Michigan. She was one of the few women to own an advertising agency at the time. Mrs. Burlingame was a big proponent of promoting Miami as a year round living destination. It was her intention to annex the smaller spoil island and to ultimately build her home on the combined islands. However, prior to the end of June in 1916, Mary Brickell filed suit to challenge the deed issued to Mrs. Burlingame.
The law suit filed by Mary Brickell was finally settled in 1918. The Florida Supreme Court declared in favor of Mrs. Burlingame and a deed was finally and officially issued. By 1920, Burlingame announced her intention to build a hotel or apartment house on the island. The island was referred to as Burlingame Island. In April of 1922, the War Department (later managed by the Army Corp of Engineers), issued a permit for a bulk head and fill of the five acre island. This work was scheduled to be complete by the end of 1922.
However, by 1924, nothing was ever developed on the island. It was eventually sold to E.J. Reed of Miami, who filed for a permit to fill a much larger, triangular-shaped island. There was no evidence that this permit was ever granted, but the request provided a preview to how future plans would influence the shape of today’s Claughton Island.
Through the remainder of the 1920s, not much had changed on Burlingame Island. There was no development and it was said that trees began taking over the topology. Some would say that the island belonged to the raccoons and rats. Ownership changed again in 1932 when R.P. Clark purchased the island. His dredging company was responsible for enlarging the island to 20.7 acres. Mr. Clark owned the island until January 1937.
In the late 1970s, Swire Properties bought most of the island from Claughton. Since then, the island has been built out with some of the tallest buildings in Miami, and the Mandarin Oriental, Miami hotel, mainly during the condo "Manhattanization" wave of the 2000s.

Monasterio de Santa MarÃa de Carracedo (León). es una antigua abadÃa, ya exclaustrada, fundada en el siglo X y perteneciente a las órdenes benedictina y, posteriormente, cisterciense. Se ubica en Carracedo del Monasterio, municipio de Carracedelo, en la comarca de El Bierzo.
Objeto de diversas reformas arquitectónicas a lo largo de su historia y en tiempos modernos vÃctima del abandono, el resultado actual es un monumento semiarruinado (aunque rehabilitado para su visita) que aúna diversos estilos, destacando los elementos románicos, cistercienses y protogóticos, correspondientes a los siglos XII y XIII. El conjunto comprende las dependencias monásticas propiamente dichas y el Palacio Real. Actualmente es sede del Museo Museo del CÃster y del Monacato berciano, que depende del Instituto Leonés de Cultura.
El cenobio fue fundado hacia el año 990 por Bermudo II, rey de León y de Galicia, con el objetivo principal de brindar refugio a monjes huidos de las incursiones y conquistas del caudillo musulmán Almanzor en tierras leonesas. El monarca donó unos terrenos de su villa de Carracedo, al paso del rÃo Cúa, a los monjes benedictinos para que edificaran allà un monasterio bajo la advocación de San Salvador.
En 997 el Monasterio de San Salvador corrió la misma suerte que otros lugares de la provincia, siendo prácticamente destruido por Almanzor en el curso de la gran aceifa que tenÃa como objetivo devastar Santiago de Compostela. Al quedar arruinado, el monasterio no pudo acoger los restos de Bermudo II tras su muerte en 999, tal como éste habÃa dejado dispuesto en su testamento. El primitivo cenobio se sumió en una penumbra de más de un siglo de duración, a caballo entre el abandono y una precaria actividad monástica. Este perÃodo, del que apenas se tienen noticias, se prolongó hasta bien entrado el siglo XII.
En 1138 la infanta-reina Sancha Raimúndez, hermana de Alfonso VII el Emperador, dispuso la restauración del Monasterio de San Salvador, haciendo venir para tal fin a los monjes del vecino Monasterio de Santa MarÃa de Valverde, en las inmediaciones de Corullón, encabezados por el abad Florencio. Al vivir en él durante largas temporadas, la infanta Sancha Raimúndez convirtió el Monasterio en Palacio Real.
Objeto de sucesivos privilegios y donaciones de concesión regia, San Salvador fue prosperando, hasta convertirse en una abadÃa con autoridad jurisdiccional sobre una decena de monasterios benedictinos en tierras de León, Galicia, Asturias y Zamora, y con control económico sobre decenas de granjas, viñedos, molinos y otros centros de producción agropecuaria. En 1203 la comunidad abandonó los hábitos negros benedictinos y tomó los blancos de la Orden del CÃster, pasando a ser, junto con todos los monasterios españoles que regentaba, una filiación de la abadÃa francesa de Cîteaux, primera casa madre de la orden. También, cambió de advocación, pasando a llamarse Monasterio de Santa MarÃa de Carracedo.
En el siglo XIV Carracedo entró en una crisis material y espiritual, a la que puso término en 1505 su adhesión a la Congregación Cisterciense de Castilla. Esta mudanza supuso la recuperación del verdadero espÃritu monacal, perdido en los años en que el monasterio estuvo gestionado por abades comendatarios y sometido al arbitrio de nobles laicos en régimen de encomienda.
A principios del siglo XIX comenzaron unas obras de ampliación que quedaron detenidas con el estallido de la Guerra de la Independencia en 1808. Desamortizado en 1835, entró en una etapa de abandono, pillaje y ruina que no se detuvo hasta 1988, momento en que la Diputación Provincial de León, propietaria con el obispado astorgano del monasterio, emprendió la restauración y consolidación de las partes del edificio que se mantenÃan en pie, labor que concluyó en 1991. En 1929 fue declarado monumento histórico-artÃstico nacional y está catalogado en la actualidad como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC).

These are the jasper rocks in my back yard birdbath I've been playing with... posted by request.... :-)
Go here to view a still image from this event: bit.ly/H4JFEO
A magnetic filament of solar material erupted on the sun in late September, breaking the quiet conditions in a spectacular fashion. The 200,000 mile long filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, the corona, leaving behind what looks like a canyon of fire. The glowing canyon traces the channel where magnetic fields held the filament aloft before the explosion. Visualizers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. combined two days of satellite data to create a short movie of this gigantic event on the sun.
In reality, the sun is not made of fire, but of something called plasma: particles so hot that their electrons have boiled off, creating a charged gas that is interwoven with magnetic fields.
These images were captured on Sept. 29-30, 2013, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, which constantly observes the sun in a variety of wavelengths.
