Chesterfield power station supplied electricity to the town of Chesterfield, Derbyshire from 1901 to 1958. The electricity generating station was owned and operated by Chesterfield Corporation prior to the nationalisation of the British electricity industry in 1948. It was redeveloped as demand for electricity grew and old plant was replaced, and had a generating capacity of 6.9 MW in the 1920s. The station closed on 1 April 1958.

Lagoa das Sete Cidades is a twin lake situated in the crater of a dormant volcano on the Island of São Miguel in the archipelago of the Azores, Portugal. This large caldera formed two lakes that are ecologically different, connected by a narrow strait, which is crossed by a bridge.
The deepest part reaches the 30 meters, and is the island most important fresh water supply.
City Creek is a small mountain stream that flows year-round from City Creek Canyon, a Protected Watershed and Nature Preserve. The source of water is melting snow along with natural springs.
Downstream from this spot is The City Creek Water Treatment Plant, which processes the water and then supplies it as drinking water to the Avenues, my neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This spot is four miles up from the City Creek Canyon Trailhead.

Pelicans are widespread, fish alone or in groups, sometimes containing many hundreds of birds. Pelicans live on bodies of water containing fish, preferably free of vegetation and that is freshwater, estuarine and marine wetlands and waterways including lakes, swamps and rivers.
They are highly mobile, capable fliers able to reach considerable heights, searching out suitable areas of water and an adequate supply of food.
Fish form the main part of a pelican's diet, although crustaceans, amphibians and occasionally smaller birds are also eaten.

The carved groove in the stone is part of the water supply system that still works today to bring fresh water from a nearby spring to Machu Picchu. Planned before the city could be built, the hydrology system sloped at a consistent 3° from the water source.
In my neck of the woods, country supply stores provide almost everything you need including the "kitchen sink". A down to earth "bushel and a peck" existence that suits me just fine.

Fjallabak Nature Reserve ( Iceland's southern Highlands) 20210717
Founded in 1979, the Fjallabak Nature Reserve is considered one of the most beautiful regions in Iceland. Covering an area of 450 km², it is made up of three glaciers supplying a multitude of rivers and lakes in ancient volcanic valleys. The landscapes of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve are provided with a prodigious mineral environment, generated by the simultaneous action of fire, water and ice. They are more broadly part of the Highlands of Iceland, a huge wild, and sparsely populated region. It is through its situation on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet, that the intense volcanic activity of the archipelago has its origin. This has shaped Icelandic landscapes for 150 million years and the plates continue to deviate by some 3 mm per year.

The Lysander was the mainstay of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War Two. The Lysander was used to transport SOE operatives to and from occupied Europe - a mission that was fraught with danger - so that they could help resistance movements in western Europe.
The Lysander was ideal for covert work. In an era when planes were flying faster and faster and when people were becoming attuned to this, the Lysander was a slow moving plane, designed for hard work - being able to take off and land in the most difficult of terrain. The Lysander also flew at a low altitude - below radar - which, at night, gave it more ability to 'disappear' from sight.
Some of the most famous SOE operatives were landed by Lysanders - Violette Szabo and the 'White Rabbit. Many flew out of Tangmere airbase in East Sussex. As well as taking in SOE operatives, the Lysander was also used to bring out escaping airmen.
The Lysander had a maximum speed of 206 mph and had a crew of 2. It needed just 250 meters for a take off to 50 feet and it needed just 320 meters for a landing from an altitude of 50 feet. The Lysander was armed in case of attack - two .303 Browning machine guns were fitted into the two wheel spats and some had a Lewis machine gun in the rear cockpit. Along with its human cargo, the Lysander could also carry two supply canisters. To the SOE, the Lysander was known as the 'scarlet pimpernel of the air'.
So it's the Mosman ferry (my favourite Sydney ferry, lol).

Our ferries connect so many suburbs to the city, even some of the far western suburbs such as Parramatta.
So here is the cool Smooth Jazz artists, Mark Etheredge and Paul Brown, with the track: 'Connected'.

The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) or the African sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. This species is related to the bald eagle of North America
For those who are interested, an extract from my Journal of that day:
After lunch, a two hour siesta and high tea, we went on an afternoon game drive. It wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was what the German couple wanted, so I went along with it.
Owner was determined to find yesterday's leopard, so we drove around all over the countryside looking for it. We saw elephant, giraffe, buffalo, lechwe, impala, kudu, pelicans and four crocodiles, but no leopard. Only as we approached the camp in the dark at around 7 o'clock did we see the leopard. It was, walking along the bush track towards us, we pulled off the track to let it pass. The light was impossible and not a single shot was taken.
Dinner was a traditional African meal, meat, beans, cabbage, butter nut squash and mealie pap (a corn porridge) all prepared and served African style.

Cowling prey and calling to adult
Falco tinnunculus
The chicks fledge gradually when they are around four weeks old. They explore increasing distances from the nest, but return to it to roost for another couple of weeks. Adults continue to feed the young for a month after fledging, during which time they will learn to catch their own food.
In the autumn, kestrels readjust their territories to make best use of winter food supply.
Der Neuntöter (Lanius collurio) oder Rotrückenwürger (auch Rotrückiger Würger oder Dorndreher) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Würger (Laniidae) und in Mitteleuropa die häufigste Würgerart. Er ist vor allem durch sein Verhalten bekannt, Beutetiere auf Dornen aufzuspießen.
Zu seiner Nahrung zählen vorwiegend Großinsekten, aber auch kleine Säugetiere und Vögel. In großen Teilen Europas und dem westlichen Asien heimisch, brütet er in halboffenen Landschaften, die ein gutes Angebot an Hecken und Sträuchern aufweisen. Die Nester werden bevorzugt in Dornsträuchern angelegt. Durch die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft musste der Neuntöter in Mitteleuropa in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts große Bestandseinbußen hinnehmen. Der Zugvogel überwintert im südlichen Teil Afrikas.
The red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) is a species of bird in the shrike family (Laniidae) and the most common shrike species in Central Europe. It is best known for its behavior of impaling prey on thorns.
Its diet mainly includes large insects, but also small mammals and birds. Native to large parts of Europe and western Asia, it breeds in semi-open landscapes with a good supply of hedges and shrubs. The nests are preferably placed in thorn bushes. Due to the intensification of agriculture, the red-backed shrike suffered major population losses in Central Europe in the second half of the 20th century. The migratory bird winters in the southern part of Africa.
This is Tofu's way of showing that all is well in his world. The sun is shining without being too hot, the constant supply of tuna, kibbles and treats is guaranteed and no pesky visitors disturb the peace in his home.:)
The Garreg Ddu dam in the lower Elan Valley is a low, completely submerged dam which maintains a constant supply of water to Birmingham by holding water back on the upstream side so that water can be extracted at the Foel Tower to allow gravity feed to Birmingham. .
It also supports masonry pillars carrying the access roadway to the neighbouring valley of the River Claerwen. The original road leading to this valley was to be lost, along with many original buildings, when Caban Coch dam was completed and the Claerwen and Elan valleys were flooded.
MaÄŸlova Aqueduct. The Byzantine water supply system of Constantinople was developed in the mid-4th century. The system's scale and complexity is a testament to Byzantine engineering and its ability to manage water resources effectively.
Even after the Ottoman conquest, the system was maintained and expanded, with the Aqueduct of Valens receiving particular attention.
