Nao Victoria replica at the Ice Factory
On the top floor of the old Ice Factory, now the Doñana Visitor Center, there is a scale replica of the Nao Victoria, one of the five ships that set off in search of the spice route from the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda on September 20, 1519, being the only one that returned to the same port of Sanlúcar, on September 6, 1522, thus completing the First Circumnavegation of the World three years after his departure.
The link between Sanlúcar, Seville, Portugal and the Basque Country is latent in the representation of the Nao Victoria, since its name comes from the church of Santa MarÃa de la Victoria in Triana, where Magellan, captain of the expedition, swore to serve the King Carlos I. In addition, the Guadalquivir river would make Sanlúcar the protagonist in this feat, as it is the umbilical cord between this port and that of Seville, with Sanlúcar having a fundamental role in the Journey, since it is here where the expedition of spices was born and ended .
Likewise, tradition tells that the ship was built in the shipyards of Zarauz, in the Basque Country, being the Basque Country the place of origin of Juan Sebastián Elcano, who would be the commander who finished the expedition when Magellan died in April 1521, in the island of Mactan, just before reaching the Moluccas islands, where the long-awaited spices were found.
As for this replica of the Nao Victoria, it is a 1:8 scale model of the original. On the exhibition base, barrels, pipes, bales, and boxes are represented in which the supplies and provisions, water, food and other elements for the journey were carried.
Without a doubt, the Doñana Visitor Center, the Ice Factory, is a place of interest to learn about the History and Culture that surrounds the surroundings of Doñana and the Guadalquivir river.
The Ice Factory is a modernist style building built in 1944, under the name of Marqués de Valterra. It is located on Avenida Bajo de GuÃa in Sanlúcar
This supplied ice to the fishing boats in Sanlúcar and remained in operation in its original role until 1978, after having overcome a serious explosion caused by the gases used in the manufacturing process. It is decorated with tiles from Triana (Seville).
In the year 2000 it was converted into the Visitor Center of the Doñana National Park

The pattern on these birds is stunning.
This wasn’t a bird we expected to see on our Texas trip.
We were at Falcon Dam and heard they were at the park.
We sat in the bird blind for about 10 minutes and got the scaled quail, bob white, green tailed towhee and spotted towhee.
If they were all that easy we probably wouldn’t bother.
Yah, we would.

This unit still carries the 'Eikon' tag in the plastic body (below the lens), but the name 'Omega' on the cover of the viewfinder has already been obscured by a riveted plate reading 'Olbia'. The original embossed text can still be seen from the underside.
This item is surplus to my collection needs. I am making this available for swap or trade. Please let me know if you are interested. See these sets of images for other cameras, lenses and photographic paraphernalia that I am removing as I am sharpening the focus of my camera collection.

This is a beautiful (and photogenic) electric-powered scale model of a French full-sized electric-powered airplane. Seen at the Western States Electric Fly-In
Lots of potential for sliding through this section. Luckily no falling rocks from above during the entire traverse.
