Flatiron Building (or once called the Fuller Building after a major construction contractor that had their offices there) at 23rd St and Fifth Avenue.I had taken shots of buildings in the area that you've seen already like the old Western Union building,the old retail stores on Ladies Mile,and the Sohmer Piano Building (off to the right with the cupola).I saw the Flatiron building again the same day as those and I said "Why not".I took the shot sitting down this time to get the entire building.There was more light on it this time showing detail,the last shot I took showed a lot of shadow.I've never been inside the building but I read that it has 22 floors.Strangely though,there's an elevator that goes from the 20th to the 22nd floor.The 21st floor originally was an attic,above it another story and a cornice were added in 1915 to give the building additional height due to complaints of high winds (see YouTube video below) coming off the top of the structure.A "draughting room" with skylights was put on the 22nd floor to regulate the air flow of the building.Hope you like.Happy Weekend. youtu.be/7DhLmhs0UI4 daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2011/06/1902-flatiron-buil...

Sunrise near the Boezemmolen nr. 6, in Haastrecht. Some cows were approaching me to start their breakfast in some meadows of the Hooge Boezem. The Hooge Boezem is one of the bosoms of the polder, and the mill is regulating the waterlevel of this bosom. Well, it used to regulate it and in the the future it will do it again, but for now it is not able to grind. It is restored so that it can perform this function in the future.
A bosom is a land part that has a fluctuating (ground)water level. From the lowest part of the polder, water is transported upwards to a bosom with help of a windmill. The bosom is always the last stage water is before transported to the main river of the polder (in this case the river on the photo, the Vlist). Sometimes, when the lowest part of the polder is really deep, it needs several bosoms to overwin the height difference. Alongside the Vlist there used to be 7 mills, with 6 bosoms, but all but one are demolished because steam pumping station "S.I. van Nooten" took over this job. That's why this piece of land behind the mill is called Hooge Boezem (High Bosom), it was the last, and thus highest, bosom before the water was transported to the Vlist. This windmill transported the water from the second-last bosom to this one, and further alongstream there used to be the last mill, who transported it from this bosom to the Vlist.
Until 2 years ago, this mill was partly demolished, and is rebuilt since then. Now they are making it able to grind again, but that is just to show people how it works, it can not keep the whole polder dry, because his 6 fellow-windmills are gone.

This fair has a history.
It happens twice a year.
It started as a hiring fair in the reign of Edward lll (circa 1351) and the need to regulate manpower, matching workers with employers, after the Black Death greatly reduced the population of England.
Today it is a funfair that is held in the High Street for all the family to enjoy.

Last orchid in my five orchid series.
Phragmipedium is a genus of the Orchid family (Orchidaceae) (Subfamily Cypripedioideae) and the only genus comprised in the tribe Phragmipedieae and subtribe Phragmipediinae.
The name of the genus is derived from the Greek phragma, which means "division", and pedium, which means "slipper" (referring to the pouch). It is abbreviated 'Phrag' in trade journals.
About 20 species of these lady's slipper orchids are known from SW Mexico, Central and tropical South America.
All Phragmipedium species are listed under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), meaning that commercial international trade in wild-sourced specimens is prohibited, while non-commercial trade is regulated. - Wikipedia

Ladybower Reservoir Derbyshire. Technically known as shaft spillways but affectionately known as plug holes, the drains were designed to regulate water levels in the reservoir by letting out water when the reservoir became full after prolonged wet spells.
The water is carried away down tunnels through the dam to the River Derwent downstream.
Each plug hole has a diameter of 24m (78ft) and the drop from the exit point to the floor of the tunnel below is 20m (66ft).
These shaft spillways have been nicknamed bellmouth or morning glory - after the flower - spillways.

One of King's Lynn's most treasured historic buildings is the iconic 17th-century Custom House, overlooking the site of the town's medieval harbour. The Custom House was built by Sir John Turner in 1683 and designed by architect Henry Bell. It opened in 1685 as a merchant's exchange and as a place to regulate trade through the port.
Captain George Vancouver, the Norfolk sea captain and explorer who 'discovered' the city of Vancouver, Canada in 1792. The map drawn by Captain Vancouver of the approach to Vancouver harbour was so accurate it continued in use until the 20th century. A statue of Captain Vancouver stands on Purfleet Quay directly outside the Custom House.

Water from a melting glacier runs off into this very blue lake in Lyngen.
It worries me that the world's glaciers are melting. Especially recent news about the melting of Greenland ice sheet, which has reached a point that we can't go back from.
The impact of climate change to people living elsewhere right now might be small or even none, but to the people living in Greenland it's huge. The impact around the poles is larger than elsewhere.
Climate change already changes Greenlanders' lives in a very fundamental way. It causes the sea to freeze over later in the year. Some 15 years ago the sea would freeze in October and the ice would last until June or July. Now the ice forms around January or even later and it melts already in May. This change is huge and should be really alarming to everyone.
But worse for all, the Greenland ice sheet melting means that the sea level would rise about 6 meters.
Massive corporations only interested in their profits are shifting environmental responsibility to individual people, which is ridiculous. They do this to shift focus from the fact that they are responsible for the pollution. These companies are trying to appear benevolent about the environment while causing majority of the greenhouse gas emissions around the world, directly responsible for climate change and the resulting melting of glaciers.
Some governments regulating pollution are not taking the necessary action because, for example the US government is mostly made up of 70+ year old billionaires who have no interest or don't even believe climate change is real, regulating pollution would mean decreased profits.
The world is way too focused on making money at the expense of the planet we live on. In fact, the planet will be just fine even if all the ice melts. It will be us humans who are in trouble, and that's why everyone should care about climate change.
