Altitude

Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can also determine altitude by trilateration with four or more satellites.

 

NN as abbreviation for Normalnull, a metric German height reference system preceding Normalhöhennull (NHN)

"Meter über Normal-Null" (“meters above standard zero”).

 

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6he_%C3%BCber_dem_Meeresspiegel

 

In Deutschland ist DHHN92 derzeit das offiziell gültige Höhensystem.

Doch die Angabe

NN als ist beliebt:

 

Ein weiterer Grund für die Weiterverwendung von Höhenangaben bezogen auf Normalnull ist die einfachere Vergleichbarkeit mit historischen Angaben.

 

PS

In der Mühlstrasse Tubingen vorzufinden:

Höhe über Normalnull (Höhen über NN im alten System)

Höhe: 341 m ü. NHN

So alt wie das Vermessungswesen, so alt ist auch der Wunsch die gemessenen Ergebnisse in Zahlen und Karten darzustellen. Leider wurde die Vermessung in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten auf Grund von politischen Verhältnissen oft nur kleinräumig und inhomogen betrieben. Die Folge waren unzählige, unterschiedliche Bezugs- und Koordinatensysteme, die einen Vergleich von Messungen über Grenzen hinweg sehr erschwerte. Doch auch in der heutigen Zeit, und dem Wandel des Vermessungswesens hin zum Einsatz von satellitengestützten Messverfahren, ist diese Problematik aktueller denn je.

It was a really wonderful day at the end of September but very cold and frosty on top of the mountains.

 

Mount Evans is a 14,265 feet (4,348 m) mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m)) in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak — another Front Range fourteener within a short distance of a major city — which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft (50 m).

 

The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt. Mount Evans can be seen from over 100 miles away to the east, and many miles in other directions. Mount Evans dominates the Denver Metropolitan Area skyline, rising over 9,000 feet above the area. Mount Evans can be seen from points south of Castle Rock, up to (65 miles (105 km) south) and as far north as Fort Collins (95 miles (153 km) north), and from areas near Limon (105 miles (169 km) east). In the early days of Colorado tourism, Mount Evans and Denver were often in competition with Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs.

 

Summit Lake is a tarn which sits at 12,836 feet (3,912 m) altitude in a glacial cirque on the north face of Mount Evans and the east face of Mount Spalding. To the north, there is a col (12,855 feet/3918 m altitude) looking down into the chain of two cirques holding the Chicago Lakes at the headwaters of Chicago Creek. By one count that includes several unnamed lakes, Summit Lake is the 13th highest lake in the United States. In 1915, the USGS reported that Summit Lake was the highest lake in Colorado, at 12,740 feet. Later secondary sources occasionally report it as the highest lake in the United States.

The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in April, 1965. (Wikipedia)

Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.

 

Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.

 

Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.

 

The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.

The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.

 

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.

 

The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.

 

The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.

 

The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.

 

The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.

 

Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

 

It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.

 

Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The City of London is a city within London. The City constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the conurbation has since grown far beyond its borders. As the City's boundaries have remained almost unchanged since the Middle Ages, it is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of Greater London, though it remains a notable part of central London. It holds city status in its own right and is also a separate ceremonial county.

 

It is widely referred to as the City (often written on maps as "City" and differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalizing the word City) or the Square Mile as it is 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km2) in area. These terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's financial services industry, which continues a notable history of being largely based in the City.

 

The term London now refers to a much larger conurbation roughly corresponding to the London region, also known as the Greater London administrative area, comprising 32 boroughs (including the City of Westminster), in addition to the City of London. The local authority for the City, the City of London Corporation, is unique in the UK and has some unusual responsibilities for a local council, such as being the police authority. It also has responsibilities and ownerships beyond the City's boundaries. The Corporation is headed by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, an office separate from (and much older than) the Mayor of London.

 

The City is a major business and financial center, ranking as the world's leading center of global finance. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business center, and continues to be a major meeting point for businesses. London came top in the Worldwide Centers of Commerce Index, published in 2008. The insurance industry is focused around the eastern side of the City. Another major financial district in London is located at Canary Wharf, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the east.

 

The City has a resident population of about 7,000 (2011) but over 300,000 people commute to it and work there, mainly in the financial services sector. The legal profession forms a major component of the northern and western sides of the City – especially in the Temple and Chancery Lane areas where the Inns of Court are located, of which two—Inner Temple and Middle Temple—fall within the City of London boundary.

Heaven

I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

 

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

On our walk through the Roxborough State Park, Colorado, United States.

 

The state park is known for dramatic red sandstone formations. Located in Douglas County 25 miles (40 km) south of Denver, Colorado, the 3,339-acre (13.51 km2) park was established in 1975. In 1980 it was recognized as a National Natural Landmark because of the number of ecological systems and geological formations. It is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District because of the number of archaeological sites.

Roxborough State Park is a designated Colorado Natural Area and National Natural Landmark for its 300 million year old red sandstone Fountain Formation that tilt at a 60 degree angle. The park includes great examples of exposed Precambrian to Late Mesozoic hogback, monolithic and spire formations from the Permian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Carpenter Peak's exposed granite is from Precambrian era.

The park consists of forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, prairie land, and woodlands that support many forms of wildlife. There are 145 bird, over 50 butterfly and moth, and 11 amphibian and reptile species. Mammals commonly found in the park include black bear, coyote, deer, elk, fox, mountain lion, prairie dog, and rabbit. Sources of water include Little Willow Creek, Willow Creek and Mill Gulch. Elevations range from 5,900 to 7,280 feet (1,800 to 2,220 m).

There are six hiking trails in Roxborough State Park, a network of easy to moderate trails that also connect to Douglas County trail system, Pike National Forest and Waterton Canyon trails. (Wikipedia)

A Câmara Municipal de Malmo encontra-se mencionado pela primeira vez no ano de 1353 . Esta estava diretamente a norte de St. Petri uma igreja belíssima bem juntinho da atual Câmara , entre o cemitério e a Adelsgatan, que era a mais velha praça da cidade. Em conjunto com a Reforma na Dinamarca o poderoso prefeito Jörgen Kock mandou construir no seu solo a atual Grande Praça, uma obra iniciada em 1538 que se tornaria na maior praça dos países nórdicos. Malmo foi nesta altura uma das maiores e mais belas cidades da Escandinávia, um forte motivo para que o seu povo construí-se uma nova sala de visitas que se transformasse no orgulho desta bela cidade.

Na década de 1530 começaria então a construção de uma nova Câmara municipal no canto nordeste da antiga praça. Este edifício pode ser visto como a maior expressão arquitetónica da ambição e ousadia dos políticos e dos burgueses de Malmo durante o Renascimento. Em 1546, o edifício que foi construído na sua totalidade em tijolo, com janelas panorâmicas de estilo gótico ficaria pronto para ser usado.

A Câmara Municipal, que é a maior prefeitura erguida durante a Idade Média, é um edifício de dois andares, com uma cave que ainda mantém o seu estilo de 1500, enquanto o andar de cima recebeu em 1800 uns arcos magníficos e muito finos em estuque . Este grande salão no segundo andar evoca as salas de espelhos no palácio Francês de Versailles , e é o lugar escolhido para as grandes celebrações. No mesmo piso há também o Salão Municipal das reuniões do Conselho, assim como um salão de beleza exclusivamente destinado apenas à realeza, embaixadores e outras personalidades de destaque.

As seções mais bem preservadas da prefeitura são as partes mais antigas, que consistem em contrafortes que hoje abrigam um grande restaurante. A Câmara Municipal, desde então, tem sido objeto de inúmeras alterações, mas a sua estrutura na praça principal é praticamente a mesma que nasceu durante os dias do Renascimento.

No decorrer dos séculos XVIII e XIX o edifício foi ampliado para oriente, tendo também a fachada voltada para Stortorget sido alterada. Na década de 1860, quando os novos regulamentos municipais introduziram na Suécia a industrialização, o edifício foi drasticamente redesenhado de acordo com os planos do arquiteto Helgo Zettervall. A fachada foi transformada no atual estilo renascentista Holandês. A Câmara Municipal também recebeu um interior ricamente decorado que se encontra em grande parte preservada. Um edifício que merece uma visita não só pela sua beleza arquitetónica mas também pelos inúmeros tesouros que abriga…

Panorama view on our way (Mt Evans Rd) to Summit Lake and Mount Evans in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado.

 

The Front Range is a mountain range of the Southern Rocky Mountains of North America located in the central portion of the U.S. State of Colorado and southeastern portion of the U.S. State of Wyoming. It is the first mountain range encountered moving west along the 40th parallel north across the Great Plains of North America. The Front Range runs north-south between Casper, Wyoming and Pueblo, Colorado and rises nearly 10,000 feet above the Great Plains. Longs Peak, Mount Evans, and Pikes Peak are its most prominent peaks, visible from the Interstate 25 corridor. The area is a popular destination for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and camping during the warmer months and for skiing and snowboarding during winter. Millions of years ago the present-day Front Range was home to ancient mountain ranges, deserts, beaches, and even oceans.(Wikipedia)

Colliure es un pueblo costero perteneciente a la comarca del Rosellón, que ha conseguido mantener intacta toda la calma de la ciudad histórica. Fue inmortalizado por grandes pintores. A principios del siglo XX, Matisse y Derain, acudieron a esta localidad atraídos por la luz de su puerto pesquero y el colorido de sus casas, que inmortalizaron en sus lienzos. De ahí nació el Fauvismo, un movimiento que se caracteriza por las pinturas con colores puros, sin ser rebajados. Existe un paseo nocturno por el casco antiguo en el que se pueden contemplar 19 reproducciones de cuadros de estos dos autores. Más adelante se unieron al movimiento, y a Colliure, otros pintores como Picasso.

También en este pueblo falleció Antonio Machado en el exilio y está enterrado en su cementerio. Y aquí vivió desde 1949 hasta su muerte, el novelista Patrick O'Brian.

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Collioure is a coastal village belonging to the region of Roussillon, who managed to keep intact all the calm of the historic city. It was immortalized by great painters. In the early twentieth century, Matisse and Derain, came to this town attracted by the light of its fishing harbor and colorful houses, immortalized in his paintings. Thus was born the Fauvism, a movement characterized by the paintings with pure colors, without discount. There is an evening stroll through the Old Town where you can see 19 reproductions of paintings by these two authors. Later joined the movement, and Collioure, other painters like Picasso.

Also in this village Antonio Machado died in exile and is buried in its cemetery. And here also lived from 1949 until his death, the novelist Patrick O'Brian.

Por tanto amor, Por tanta emoção

A vida me fez assim

Doce ou atroz, Manso ou feroz

Eu caçador de mim

 

Preso a canções, entregue a paixões

Que nunca tiveram fim

Vou me encontrar, longe do meu lugar

Eu, caçador de mim

 

Neste Sábado retornei nesta que para mim é uma das trilhas mais bonitas da cidade, pois alguns amigos aqui do Flickr desejaram ir tambem, e apesar ja ter subido nesta trlha a menos de 15 dias, a subida de ontem alem de muita diversão, pois é impossivel não rir com algumas figuras que vão com a gente e que só sabem reclamar na subida, mas quando chegam la em cima não querem mais sair, tambem acabei retornando por um caminho diferente com outras opções de "Mirantes" e que terminava atras do Shopping Rio Sul.

Well another day and another Springtail photo session. Today I was messing about with backgrounds, I purchased a sheet of coloured foam which had loads of different colours, kind of like when you mixed all the coloured plasticine together as a kid.

 

Needless to say I found a few Dicyrtomina saundersi on my walk, so I set about a focus stack or two. This one was a 24 image handheld focus stack at x7 mag using an aperture of F/5, ISO 320 and a 1/125 shutter speed. I thought the colours were rather groovy here, also loved the symmetrical feel of the subject :o)

 

Was a really nice day out, a bit cold and amazed how quickly the light went, will have to get up earlier tomorrow :o)

Para subir neste local é necessario apenas um pouco de disposição e boa vontade de subir por cerca de 30 minutos numa trilha bem marcada e facil que se inicia dentro do Parque da Prainha e termina neste belo local onde podemos ver todo o Recreio dos Bandeirantes e Barra da Tijuca e a parte do Gigante Adormecido que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro Formam.

 

Gigante Adormecido

 

Apesar de já retratado desde da época do Brasil Colônia, inclusive por Debret em 1816 (gravura na sequencia), poucas pessoas sabem que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro formam um Gigante com cerca de 18 Km de extensão . A Pedra da Gavea seria a Cabeça, o Corcovado a Virilha, inclusive ha ate alguma piadas a respeito disto e o Pão de Açucar seria os Pés.

 

Pelo lado da Barra da Tijuca que seria o lado da Foto Principal, não é possivel ve-lo por completo, apenas nas proximidades da Ilha Rasa que se pode ter uma visão perfeita da formação rochosa.

 

Em 1969, Roberto Carlos estreou em 1969 e trazia uma das Lendas sobre o Gigante Adormecido, podemos ver a imagem do Gigante por completo clicando neste Video AQUI

These colorful ducks are becoming more prevalent in Florida. They nest in tree cavities and sometimes build their nests in some of the dead palm trees in the area.

Manhã, tão bonita manhã, na vida, uma nova canção

Cantando só teus olhos, teu riso, tuas mãos

Pois há de haver um dia, em que virás!!!

 

Das cordas do meu violão, que só teu amor procurou

Vem uma voz, falar dos beijos perdidos,nos lábios teus

 

Canta o meu coração, Alegria voltou

Tão feliz a manhã

Deste amor

 

Na semana que passou foi entregue a Vista Chinesa aos Cariocas e os visitantes de nossa cidade, ela estava já alguns meses fechada para restauração. Esta foi a maior intervenção que o Pagode recebeu deste de sua inauguração em 1903. voltando inclusive a sua cor original.

 

Mas tirando a cor original e o seu entorno que foi totalmente restaurado, não há muitas diferenças aparentes na estrutura do Pavilhão, talvez pela boa conservação que já havia no Pagode, foi aberta ou restaurada não sei ao certo uma trilha que tive o prazer de hoje percorrer em parte, que vai pelo meio da floresta ate a Mesa do Imperador, local muito usado pela Família Imperial para Piqueniques

 

Aproveito para desejar a todas as Pessoas de Boa Vontade que aqui passam, uma excelente semana, repleta de Paz, Saúde, Alegrias e muita Prosperidade

 

* Todas as fotos estão Abertas, pois já foram publicadas anteriormente e elas foram tiradas em dias e horarios diferentes. A primeira foto assim como a foto principal, foi tirada hoje pela manha e a ultima é uma imagem do Filme "Rio"

*********************************************

  

Estas fotos de la serie pertenecen a tres lugares de Caminha, un bonito pueblo portugués en la desembocadura del río Miño.

 

La Mata Nacional de Camarido, el mayor pinar atlántico portugués, al norte del río Duero.

Fué mandado plantar por el Rey Don Dinís en el siglo XIV, al borde mismo de la playa.

Basicamente es de pino bravo y ha sido repoblado en el año 2011 con 18.000 nuevos árboles tales como pino manso, roble, alcornoque, fresno, sauce.......para rejuvenecer y diversificar un bosque tan antiguo.

Es un LIC (Lugar de Interés Comunitario)

  

La Praia de Moledo, unida a la Praia de Camarido o Praia da Foz do Minho, un arenal con bandera azul comunitaria muy expuesto a vientos y oleajes atlánticos, de una enorme belleza salvaje.....estupenda para practicar surf y windsurf.

  

La Capela de Santo Antão en el monte que domina Caminha, estribaciones de la Serra de Arga, con un mirador increible sobre toda la desembocadura del Río Miño.

Resaltar que este monte ha ardido completamente este verano, da mucha tristeza verlo asi........

I've uploaded the impressive view you get halfway during the climb to the Molden top, at 864 m above sealevel, before (also in first comment).

This is the view from the top, at 1116 m above sealevel. The hike up is only 4 km from the carpark, but you also cover >600 vertical meters. The water of the Lusterfjord has this amazing green-blueish color due to all the glacial water that enters it.

 

This is an uncompressed stitch of 7 vertical images.

One of my many attempts to photograph the ubiquitous Buachaille Etive Mor; no doubt that this is the most photographed mountain in Scotland! We were very lucky with the stunning sunset, but again there are quality issues due to low light, and again I was really wishing for a DSLR! Soon... Thank you all for all of your faves, comments and constructive criticism - feedback really helps and is really appreciated!

O Brasil, verde que dá

Para o mundo admirar.

O Brasil do meu amor,

Terra de Nosso Senhor.

Brasil!... Brasil! Prá mim ... Prá mim!...

 

No video vemos uma das mais belas interpretações de "Aquarela do Brasil", de um coral da distante Eslovenia, numa beleza que vem de um carinho em cantar numa harmonia tão bela e com a preocupação inclusive em uma pronuncia quase perfeita e sem sotaque.
