La Alberca es un municipio y localidad española de la provincia de Salamanca, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. Se integra dentro de la comarca de la Sierra de Francia. Pertenece al partido judicial de Ciudad Rodrigo
La población ya estaba asentada en La Alberca desde antes de la llegada de los romanos, como demuestra el castro prerromano bajo el cual se asienta una parte del pueblo. De la época visigoda hay pocos datos, no obstante se sabe que se reutilizó material de estos monumentos para construir la Ermita de Majadas Viejas.
En los dinteles de las puertas suele haber inscripciones religiosas, esto podría indicar que sus pobladores eran conversos y utilizaban este método para reafirmar su fe.
En la Edad Media, entre los siglos XII y XIII se produjo la repoblación por decisión del rey Alfonso IX de León. De la gente que llegó a esta tierra, parte destacada fue la de origen francés a través de Raimundo de Borgoña, noble francés casado con la posteriormente reina Urraca I de León, hija primogénita de Alfonso VI de León. Este origen justificaría la numerosa presencia de topónimos franceses en la Sierra de Francia.
En el siglo XIII La Alberca era una villa dependiente de la corona leonesa.
Al final de la Edad Media destaca un hecho de importancia capital para la zona: el hallazgo de la imagen de la Virgen de la Peña de Francia (1434), que convirtió el santuario construido posteriormente en un lugar de peregrinación, al que se unieron los peregrinos del Camino de Santiago que seguían el llamado Camino del Sur por la Via de la Plata.
Otro hecho importante de la historia de La Alberca, según cuenta la tradición en 1465 las mujeres albercanas vencieron a las tropas portuguesas, en esta victoria se arrebató a los portugueses el pendón, que aún hoy se conserva en el pueblo, esta victoria se festeja el segundo día de la pascua de resurrección.
En el siglo XV, Juan II hizo que la villa de La Alberca pasara a depender de la Casa de Alba, que años después logró el control de parte de la Sierra de Francia con el favor de Fernando el Católico, agrupando estos dominios bajo la jurisdicción de la villa cacereña de Granadilla. No obstante La Alberca logró mantener gran autonomía respecto a Granadilla, llegando a tener sus propias ordenanzas en 1515 y a ser Las Hurdes una dehesa de La Alberca hasta 1835.
En el siglo XVII la Peña de Francia, con su Virgen Negra, fue citada por Miguel de Cervantes en El Quijote; siendo el valle de Las Batuecas para Lope de Vega el escenario en el que se refugian dos enamorados que huyen de la Corte. Desde entonces La Alberca, con la Peña de Francia y Las Batuecas, han sido un escenario convertido en mito, en leyenda.
En 1940 el pueblo se convirtió en Monumento Histórico-Artístico. Fue el primer municipio español que consiguió tal distinción.(Wikipedia)
Buildings of the business district "Red Hills". The construction took more than ten years; as a result, a business center, concert halls, a five-star hotel appeared here.
Moscow International House of Music (building on the right) is a modern center for the performing arts, which has no analogues in Russia. This is an independent production association that organizes performances by Russian and foreign symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, instrumental soloists, opera and ballet artists, theater, jazz, pop and folk groups.
The dome of the House of Music is crowned with an emblem in the form of a treble clef-vane 9.5 meters high; by Zurab Tsereteli.

The Yellowstone river's lower and upper falls rightfully get the most attention in the park but Gibbon falls which is located roughly 5 miles north of Madison Junction on the Grand Loop Road gets a lot of looks and love as well.

The Yonghe Temple Palace of Peace and Harmony, also known as the Yonghe Lamasery, or popularly as the Lama Temple, is a temple and monastery of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism located on 12 Yonghegong Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. The building and artwork of the temple is a combination of Han Chinese and Tibetan styles. This building is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in China proper. The current abbot is Lama Hu Xuefeng. Building work on the Yonghe Temple started in 1694 during the Qing dynasty on the site where originally stood an official residence for court eunuchs of the Ming dynasty. After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, the temple was declared a national monument and closed for the following 32 years. It is said to have survived the Cultural Revolution due to the intervention of Premier Zhou Enlai. Reopened to the public in 1981, it is today both a functioning temple and highly popular tourist attraction in the city. 1681

Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

HOI AN.- THU BON RIver
Hoi An no sería lo mismo sin su caudaloso río Thu Bon.
Ciertamente, es una relación de amor y odio, ya que todo lo que le da (y le ha dado) a la ciudad, es capaz de quitárselo de un suspiro en las intensas épocas de lluvias.
El río Thu Bon
Atravesando la ciudad encontramos el río Thu Bon, el cual ha dado forma y ha marcado la vida de los habitantes de Hoi An durante siglos.
Hoy en día, pasear por sus orillas o tomar un café a pie de sus aguas es una de las actividades que no te puedes perder.
Festival de la linterna de luna llena de Hoi An
Aunque Hoi An luce como una postal todas las noches, la Ciudad Antigua es más espectacular durante el Festival de los Faroles mensual, cuando los locales lanzan linternas de papel iluminadas al río para promover la buena salud y la fortuna. Es una visita obligada que vale la pena modificar en su itinerario de Vietnam.
Una de las formas más populares de experimentar el río Thu Bon en Hoi An es en un paseo en bote de 1 o 2 horas. Embárcate en un bote de bambú con un pescador para aprender las técnicas de pesca locales u opta por un crucero corto en un bote moderno hasta la playa de Cua Dai. Si eres un buscador de emociones, girar como loco en un bote de canasta es una experiencia que debes probar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoi An would not be the same without its mighty Thu Bon River.
Certainly, it is a relationship of love and hate, since everything that he gives (and has given) to the city, he is capable of taking away in one breath during the intense rainy seasons.
The Thu Bon River
Crossing the city we find the Thu Bon River, which has shaped and marked the lives of the inhabitants of Hoi An for centuries.
Nowadays, walking along its banks or having a coffee at the foot of its waters is one of the activities that you cannot miss.
Hoi An Full Moon Lantern Festival
Although Hoi An looks postcard-perfect every night, the Ancient City is most spectacular during the monthly Lantern Festival, when locals release illuminated paper lanterns into the river to promote good health and fortune. It is a must-see and worth modifying in your Vietnam itinerary.
One of the most popular ways to experience the Thu Bon River in Hoi An is on a 1-2 hour boat ride. Embark on a bamboo boat with a fisherman to learn local fishing techniques or opt for a short cruise on a modern boat to Cua Dai Beach. If you are a thrill seeker, spinning like crazy in a basket boat is a must-try experience.
Popularmente conocida como Ciudad del Sol, la Ciudad de las Torres y la Sartén de Andalucía (por sus elevadas temperaturas, especialmente en verano), está considerada como uno de los centros artísticos más importantes de Andalucía.
The Series Sixty-two was a model produced by Cadillac from 1940 through 1964 when it was renamed “Calais” for the 1965 model year. It was one of Cadillac’s most popular models. For the 1949 model year, the Series Sixty-two spawned the “Coupe deVille.”
For the 1953 model year the world was introduced to the very first Series Sixty-two Eldorado. The Series Sixty-two convertible was one of America’s most luxurious convertibles. Cadillac’s magnificent new design and craftsmanship were dramatically displayed in the 1957 Cadillac Series Sixty-two convertible.
Cadillac for the 1957 model year was completely redesigned. A Cadillac convertible was the celebrity among Cadillacs. There was no more gracious manner in which to enjoy open-air touring than the 1957 Series Sixty-two convertible. Its aristocratic flair was dramatic and pronounced.
Apart from the Biarritz convertible, the Series Sixty-two convertible was the most elegant convertible built in the land. It was the synthesis of two motoring worlds; it had all the panache of a ragtop and the comfort of a luxury car. Style code #6267F Series Sixty-two convertible had a base price of $5,225. (Cadillac repairs today run up tabs along these same dollar amounts…amazing)
The 1957 Cadillacs were all-new in design from the 1956 models. The 1957 cars presented a new sleekness in every line as witnessed by the Series Sixty-two convertible. They were built almost 3” lower in overall height.
The front end ensemble was boldly aggressive. It retained the “Dagmars.” The sweep of its new fender lines extended back to the redesign of the iconic Cadillac tail fins.
The convertible’s silhouette was highlighted by chrome-framed wheel openings and extended contour lines to both front and rear fenders. The fender skirts were dropped for a cleaner more contemporary look at the time.
All Cadillac bodies were built by the Fleetwood Division of Fisher Body under relentless quality control procedures. The Series Sixty-two convertible rode upon a long 129.5” wheelbase, had the luxury length of 220.9” and an 80” wide stance.
The Cadillac 6.0 litre 365 CID 16-valve V8 engine had five main bearings, intake silencer, and hydraulic lifters. It was constructed with cast iron, block and cylinder heads. The engine was equipped with a Rochester 4-bbl downdraft Quadrajet carburetor with equalized manifold, and automatic choke. It produced 300 hp @ 4,800 rpm with 542 Nm of peak torque @ 2,800 rpm. Performance was rated as 0-60 mph in 11.2 seconds, 0-100 mph in 33.1 seconds with a top speed of 119 mph. It could do the ¼ mile @ 81 mph in 18.1 seconds.
The Cadillac Series sixty-two convertible was a triumph of motoring distinction. Its unmatched comfort and spacious dignity was the finest expression of Cadillac’s dramatically new styling. In the way it looked and the way it drove, the 1957 Cadillac Series Sixty-two convertible introduced a brand new measure of excitement to modern luxury motoring…done in the manner only the “Standard of the World” could provide. This is another classic encore presentation…in the continuing saga of “As the Standard of the World Turns.”

Looning north just before sunset, on an exceptionally clear afternoon. Beyond the large white condo (a vacation rental) is San Simeon Point, then Point Piedras Blancas, and in the far distance the Santa Lucia range meets the sea, where Big Sur 'officially' begins.
In the foreground are Ice Age unconsolidated sands, from great dunes that spread inland during the low sea-stand when much of the ocean water was frozen into ice-sheets a mile or more thick, over Canada, New England, and much of northern Eurasia. Dry land extended to the Farallones off future San Francisco! The last Great Warming ended only about 9,000 years ago. Of course, the Earth's climate continues to warm, as does a lively debate over how much of the warming is due to humans, and how much is natural. You won't read much about the actual scientific debate, sadly, in the popular press, as this has become an item of faith among True Believers. But, geologically speaking, we're at risk of a return of the Ice -- and human CO2 emissions may help to keep that at bay. A respectable (but controversial) hypothesis.
