The shape of this tureen was probably copied from a creamware example by Josiah Wedgwood（1730 - 1795）, an example of which is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The base of this tureen was in turn inspired by a Sèvres prototype. A similarly shaped tureen, stand and spoon with the Royal Portuguese coat of arms is in the Palácio de Queluz, and was ordered as part of a tea, coffee, chocolate and dinner service for D. Pedro III（1717 - 1786）.

The Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Designed by Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and Charles Driver.
Built 1865-68
Housing eight beam engines by Rothwell & Co. of Bolton
The Abbey Mills Pumping Station (Pumping Station F) is a large industrial barn, some 57m long, 29m wide and 23m high. It is the fifth in a series of sewage pumping stations built here since 1869, and uses state-of-the-art submersible pumps which halved the installation cost. Previous Victorian stations are now listed and used for other purposes.
The superstructure consists of lightweight steel 'A' frames at 6m centres, bearing upon a square frame which carries the travelling cranes used for maintenance. It is this square structure that is at the heart of the design and becomes the key to the expression of the gable ends.
Four sewers are brought together into one large concrete culvert which forms the base of the entire building. Using 16 pumps with a capacity of two cubic metres per second, the sewage is then pumped up 13m and discharged into the upper level culvert. From there it discharges into the 1869 main outfall sewer and the treatment plant at Barking.
Four diesel generators in the middle of the building power the installation while a central gantry and two side-aisle travelling cranes allow the pumps and other machinery to be lifted for maintenance.
Externally, the roof is penetrated by four vent cowls for the machinery. Louvres along the roof ridge provide ventilation to the barn itself. The sides are also louvred.

This shows an area of polychrome that we really didn't get to explore. We were able to walk along most of the right ridge line (the one without snow) the first evening. The next day we crossed into the next unit. The dip between the snow capped mountains and small amount of brown mountains on the extreme right is about where the pass is located.
This is an old palace built by Alfonso XI about the year 1340. His son Pedro I continued to build it. His favourite María de Padilla stayes at there. Later he donated the palace to his first-born daughter Beatriz who turned it into a Monastery according to his father's will.
Therefore, the current building is a complex group of premises based on the original frame of the palace.
The palace's outbuildings are mudejar style. Some artists from Toledo were made to come to Tordesillas. As a result, a great palace with large rooms around a yard was built.
In 1363, the palace was adapted for the needs of the Monastery, so that it changes its physiognomy gradually. The church (gothic style) is built in the second half of the XIVth century. The presbytery is covered with a splendid wooden frame with bright and golden colours. In the XVth century, the Chapel of Saldaña family is built. It is considered to be pne of the most splendid Gothic buildings in the province of Valladolid.
The Arab Baths are separated from the whole building. They are closely related to the Islamic examples in Andalucía. They have rooms controlled by water and staggered temperature steam with kilns under the paving.
Due to its historical and artistic importance, it is considered to be one of the best examples of mudejar art in Castile and Leon.

While the views of Denali are the most impressive in the park, I think the views from Polychrome Mountain are the prettiest in the park.
The volcanic rock, rhyolite, is rich in iron which turns colors as it oxidizes and gives the area its name.
