This is a composite of two side-by-side images, each captured with the Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6), shifted left and right +/- 12mm to produce a 205MP 2:1 aspect ratio final image.
The Ravenswood plant, along the East River in Long Island City/Astoria Queens, was built by Con Ed in stages during the early- and mid- 1960's. When opened, it had capacity for about 20% of the city's electricity demand, as well as producing co-generated steam for the city's steam loop.

Known locally as "Big Allis" (after Allis-Chalmers, the manufacturer of the largest of the four generators in the plant), Ravenswood is fired by both natural gas (now the primary fuel) and oil, and also has the capability (rarely used, as far as I know) to burn coal.
Ravenswood has been linked to a spike in asthma and other respiratory disorders among local residents. There is pressure to decommission the generators and replace them with battery banks to store renewable energy from upstate.

For industrial subjects especially, I usually end up preferring the most straightforward and boring perspective I can find that just lets the subject speak for itself. The masters of this approach were Bernd and Hilla Becher, whose "Basic Forms" work richly repays your attention if you like this kind of stuff. https://www.sfmoma.org/artist/Bernd_and_Hilla_Becher/
(They would have undoubtedly gone for an overcast day to capture Big Allis, but I liked the clouds.)

Cieli sereni vedere vorrei di Linda Martin (Piove di Sacco, 2005)
Cieli sereni vedere vorrei
Ma per ora frastagliate sono ancora
Le speranze celesti di
Di poter abbracciare
Verdi pianure
Limpide alture ... https://cctm.website/linda-martin-italia/#lindamartin #poesia #cctmwebsite #anoipiaceleggere #leggere

Idea gratis per chi Γ¨ in grado di sviluppare software: Duolingo ma che fa parte del fediverso.
Ogni istanza puΓ² proporre il proprio percorso di apprendimento (o anche piΓΉ di uno) per lingua. Ed ogni esercizio diventa unβoccasione per interagire con le persone che stanno imparando la lingua assieme a te.
I percorsi poi possono essere costruiti anche dai singoli utenti e distribuiti su istanze diverse. La gente puΓ² βforkareβ i percorsi di apprendimento e ridistribuirli con modifiche.

Ho attraversato quel sistema di grotte in UK (Lancaster Hole to Wretched Rabbit) nell'estate del 1999, quand'ero ancora un ragazzo, in compagnia di alcuni amici irlandesi e scozzesi fuori di testa. Fu la mia prima (e ultima) avventura speleo. Nel video non sono riportati i passaggi piΓΉ pericolosi. Mancavano solo i nani e Gandalf, ma credo di aver intravisto un Balrog.
Entrammo alle 14:30 e uscimmo alle 2;00 di notte.
Never again! Caves are not for meπ
