The Tüshaus mill is a water mill near Dorsten-Deuten in North Rhine-Westphalia. The mill is located on the southern edge of the forest area of Üfter Mark, where the water of the Hammbach River from Rhade is stowed to the mill pond.
The history of the Tüshaus-Hof, to which the mill belongs, can be traced back to 1382. The lords of Lembeck, who held the water law in their territory, leased a whale mill driven by the water of the Hammbach in 1615 to a certain Mr. Tuschhaus.
However, the mill was not the first building on this site, as it was built on older foundations. Sheep were mainly kept in the extensive heathland surrounding the area. The wool was rolled in the Tüshaus mill by a hammer mill and sold as felt material to the region's cloth makers for further processing. The billing books include customers from Wesel, Recklinghausen, Westerholt, Dülmen, Münster and Dinxperlo.
The mill had already been increased in 1752 and expanded by a second mill wheel, so that since 1754 it also served the tenant Joan-Heinrich Tüshaus as an oil mill. The oil was obtained mainly from the rapeseed and linseed of the surrounding fields. In 1880 Albert Brosthaus was the Ölmüller, followed by Dumpe and Schetter. The old plants of the oil mill were replaced in 1914 by a modern hydraulic oil mill, which pressed the oil out of the seeds with 350 atü. The operation of the oil mill was discontinued around 1948 for economic reasons.
Northern Red-billed Hornbill (Tockus erythrorhynchus). Hornbills are noisy, conspicuous birds easily distinguished by their bold black and white feather patterns, accented by long, colorful bills and patches of bare skin around the eyes or throat. Their first two neck vertebrae are fused to support their large bill. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.

Le Martin-pêcheur d'Europe (Alcedo atthis) (Kingfisher) est une espèce d'oiseau, espèce type de la famille des Alcedinidae.
Cet oiseau est un bon indicateur naturel de la qualité d'un milieu aquatique.
C'est un oiseau qui se nourrit de petits poissons et de petits animaux aquatiques. C'est pourquoi il vit à proximité des étendues d'eau, où il peut se nourrir en abondance. Sa proie repérée, généralement depuis un perchoir, il plonge en percutant violemment la surface de l'eau, l'attrape, puis l'avale tête la première dans le sens des écailles.
L'oiseau, très vivace, parcourt un circuit sur son territoire en se posant sur des perchoirs qu'il connaît, bien disposés pour guetter ses proies.
Si sa position est assez haute, il plonge en flèche directement.

The kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) is a species of bird, a type species of the family Alcedinidae.
This bird is a good natural indicator of the quality of an aquatic environment.
It is a bird that feeds on small fish and small aquatic animals. This is why he lives near bodies of water, where he can eat in abundance. His prey spotted, usually from a perch, he dives violently striking the surface of the water, catches it, then swallows head first in the direction of the scales.
The bird, very vivacious, runs a circuit on its territory by landing on perches he knows, well prepared to watch his prey.
If his position is high enough, he dive directly.
Ostuni, la ville blanche, a été fondée au VIIe siècle av. J.-C. par le peuple italique de Messapes, dans la vallée d'Itria, province de Brindisi. Elle s'étend sur trois collines dominant la campagne semée d'oliviers et regardant, la mer, située à 8 km, à l'est. Elle compte environ 33'000 habitants et vit principalement du tourisme. Sa cathédrale est splendide.
La vielle ville est entièrement repeinte à la chaux, d'où son surnom officiel de "città bianca".

Dettifoss is a waterfall in Vatnajökull National Park in Northeast Iceland, and is reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in Europe.
Unfortuantely, because of the weather on the day, it was not accessible, and so we had to settle with this position: The nearest we could get...
Detti is definitely on the list again for our next visit!

Lucky catch: The world record locomotive Siemens ES64U4 (EuroSprinter U4) of ÖBB pushes a RailJet train into Munich Central Station.
This particular locomotive holds the world speed record for electric locomotives, at 357 km/h. The record was set on the high-speed track from Nürnberg to Ingolstadt on Sept. 2nd, 2006, while the loco was still owned by Siemens and carried the number 1216 050.
In May 2008 the ÖBB received the loco, since June 23rd 2008 she runs as 1216 025 for ÖBB.

Just thought I'd mention that this Wednesday morning (30-12-15) from about 8:30 to 10:30 looks like being good for storm photos at Porthcawl Lighthouse. Sunrise is 08:20, High tide is 09:19 and the forecast is for strong winds. There are no guarantees, it may not be the strongest storm of recent years, but if the forecast doesn't change it should be worth a visit - oh, and be careful out there!
Any excuse to post a Porthcawl photo, eh? This is a crop of a photo I held back on previously as I thought people would not see the lighthouse in the wave. On reflection you lot are more observant than that, so I may post the full version later today for you to compare.
If any of you go down on Wednesday please feel free to share any photos you post with me, I'd love to check them out. Me? I've got to work
Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) in recognition of World Giraffe Day 2020. This annual event celebrates the tallest animal in the world on the longest (or shortest) day of the year. The day highlights the plight of giraffes who are sufferning a silent extinction. Their populations have dramatically dropped because of habitat loss, poaching, and civil unrest and these iconic African animals have now been reclassified from least concern to vulnerable to extinction.
Conservation Status: Vulnerable

Región 3: A tan solo 18km del Árbol de Piedra se encuentra la laguna colorada y parte de la región 3 de las lagunas de origen volcánico del suroeste de Bolivia. A esta hermosa laguna llegamos a eso de las 17:15 horas de la tarde. Bitácora de viaje
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La Laguna Colorada por su origen geológico, la naturaleza físico química de sus aguas de origen volcánico, la relación ecológica entre los seres vivos y su medio han conformado un ambiente único en el mundo.
La laguna al tener afluentes del río Sulor y numerosas vertientes termales de agua dulce, favorece al establecimiento de una diversidad biológica de fauna y flora asociados a las característicasdel agua.
Debido a las condiciones climáticas extremas, las plantas y animales, durante un largo ciclo evolutivo se han adaptado, desarrollando mecanismos propios que les permiten la supervivencia por esos se encuentran niveles altos de endemismos.

This photo was taken 23 minutes later at the same observation lounge of Tochou (都庁) as the previous photo.
The road marked by taller buildings toward Fujisan is National Route 20, which is also called Koushuu Kaidou (甲州街道) as the trunk road leads to Yamanashi prefecture (山梨県), and Koushuu is its old name.
Shinjuku was originally developed as a post town on Koushuu Kaidou in the Edo era. Shinjuku (新宿) means “new post town.”
This was also the venue where Miles Davis played “Jean-Pierre” in 1981, which is included in his live recording album “We Want Miles” released in 1982. It is credited as Shinjuku Nishiguchi Hiroba, which was a vacant lot waiting for the construction of this skyscraper. .
