  1. One of the most unusual remnants of the Lake Biwa Canal is a very European looking aqueduct, the 'suirokaku' (水路閣), almost concealed within the leafy precincts of Nanzen-ji (南禅寺)🌉💦

    The #ancient #Roman #city of #Pompeii at the Gulf of #Naples offers remarkably #wellpreserved #insights into #dailylife before it was buried by Mount #Vesuvius in 79 AD. G. Sürmelihindi et al. (2026) investigated the #carbonate #incrustations in the #baths, the #aqueduct, and in #wells, with the latter being replaced by the penultimate as #technical #improvement. The periodicity of #δ13C variations from wells and republican #pools indicated poor #hygienicconditions.

    Aaward-winning Italian author and filmmaker Chiara Barzini traces the geography of the Los Angeles aqueduct, from its source, across the desert, to the city that it helped into existence, all while reckoning with her personal history with the landscape.

  10. Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the aqueduct crossing the river Ribble, whilst on the Tolkien Walk.

    Sorry for the week's absence. I was volunteer caterer at a residential Summer School for 11-17 year olds, and the long hours in the kitchen, militated against regular posts.

  11. Pont du Gard, part of a 31-mile aqueduct that supplied 11 million U.S. gallons of water per day to the Roman city of Nemausus (now Nîmes). Conduit was apparently coated with a mixture of olive oil, lard, and fig juice to facilitate water flow. #gar #gardon #roman #aqueduct #water #history #nimes #france #travel #river #engineering #provence

    Indeed! I well remember the days of rolls of #blackandwhite #film loaded into a #Kodak #Brownie #camera.

    That gave you 8 pictures which you had to choose carefully as the whole roll would have to last a week, and you wouldn't see the results, grainy 3" x 2" prints, till after you got home and had taken the film to be developed at the local chemists shop.

    Typical examples from my early teenage years at:

    This is the link about the #Litchfield #Canal I meant to include in my earlier toot. Lots of photos covering the building of the #aqueduct

    Not sure what you would have seen on the video, but the #Litchfield #Canal project is fascinating. Back when a new #motorway was built round #Birmingham the builder was forced to provide an #aqueduct in anticipation of the #volunteers #raisingfunds to rebuild the canal. It sits in mid-air to this day. I drive under it regularly. Read more at:
