<p>The Ashworth and Jones Factory is a historic building at 1511 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is one of the architecturally finest mid 19th century factory buildings in the city. Built in 1870 and repeatedly enlarged, most of its sections retain high quality brickwork and mid-19th century Victorian styling. The factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The complex has been converted into condominium residences known as Kettle Brook Lofts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Ashworth and Jones Factory complex is located in far southwestern Worcester, near the town line with Leicester, on the south side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9). The complex consists of a series of buildings that roughly form a U shape. The oldest portion is a three story brick building, in which windows are set in recessed corbelled wall panels, with pilaster-like piers separating the windows. There is a clock tower on one corner that is topped by a flared mansard roof. The attached additions to the main block are one and two stories in height, and continue the styling and materials used in the original block, despite a forty-year construction range.</p><br>
<p>The factory site used for industrial purposes beginning early in the 19th century, and was purchased by Thomas Ashworth and Edward Jones in 1861, where they manufactured shoddy fabric (using recycled materials). The buildings in which they first operated have not survived. The present building&#39;s main block was built in 1870. In the 1880s the business was taken over by E. D. Thayer, who built many of the additions, and manufactured woolens until his death in 1907. George Duffy acquired the facility in 1910, and again enlarged the premises.</p><br>
<p>The Bosque el Nixticuil  is an old-growth forest located northwest of the Metropolitan Zone of Guadalajara in the Mexican town of Zapopan. An urban forest, it is encroached by the metropolitan area&#39;s constant growth. It is mostly composed of oak, holm oak and pine.</p><br>
<p>It is a remnant of a larger, now vanished, forest of more than 27,000 hectares. Its name comes from a local natural promontory called El Nixticuil.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<h3>Extent</h3><br>
<p>The forest stretches over 1,860 hectares, of which 1,591 have been established as a protected area (NPA) under the category of municipal watershed protection area (Area Municipal de Protección Hidrológica). The areas covered by the forest protection decree cover Nixticuil, the Cerro del Diente and the community of San Esteban, which form part of the Río Blanco watershed.</p><br>
<h3>Fauna and flora</h3><br>
<p>The forest&#39;s wildlife include coyote, fox, skunk, rabbit, opossum, various species of rodents and birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects.</p><br>
<p>Various bird counts have been conducted in the forest, with one study by the University of Guadalajara reporting 107 distinct avian species (two rare, seven threatened and a one under special protection).</p><br>
<p>In addition to oaks, pines and holm oaks, there is also a great biodiversity of herbs and shrubs such as kidneywood, copal, mallow, mugwort, foxtail, and other trees such as willow, the amate fig, and the cat&#39;s claw (tepame) and needle bush (huisache) acacias. It is one of three known habitats of the Styrax jaliscana, a white-flowering shrub in the Styrax family.</p><br>
<h2>Threats</h2><br>
<p>This forest is currently threatened for several reasons. Environmental organizations such as the Comité Salvabosque de El Nixticuil and the Comité Salvabosque Tigre II have decided to undertake actions to protect it.</p><br>
<h3>Protected status</h3><br>
<p>In 2005, neighbors and activists petitioned the city of Zapopan to grant the official status of "Protected Area" to 30 hectares of forest. This came after 2004&#39;s rainy season, when the ground gave way in the Nextipac community, affecting its inhabitants. At that point, the Zapopan city government intended to relocate those residents to a forested area adjacent to Tigre II, with construction scheduled for 2005. Those already living in Tigre II who wanted to avoid the destruction of the forest, and a significant number of Nextipac residents who refused their forced removal, united to oppose this project.</p><br>
<p>Following this, the work was suspended and negotiations began. These negotiations continued until the city government decided without warning to retake and expand the territory designated for construction. Thereafter, protests renewed, and on May 18, 2005, the protesters managed to stop the work again, by which time more than 300 oak trees had been cut down.</p><br>
<p>Together with the Zapopan municipal government&#39;s plan to construct public housing on 5 hectares of forest, various other public and private developments have been proposed within Nixticuil Forest. The development sponsored by the Villa de los Niños Association consists of the construction of a building complex, while the Autonomous University of Guadalajara (UAG) presented a project to construct a "University Science and Technology Research Park".</p><br>
<p>By the end of 2006 the Zapopan government proposed the designation of Nixticuil Forest as a natural protected area. Nevertheless, the Jalisco State Legislature did not act until February 19, 2008 to approve the protected status of 1,591 hectares, which presupposed the freezing of the various municipal projects within Nixticuil Forest.</p><br>
<p>In June 2007, Comité Salvabosque Tigre II, a community organization, presented a complaint before the Federal Prosecutor for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA) to terminate development, alleging irregularities in the granting of permits. On March 18, this same group also filed a complaint with the Jalisco State Human Rights Commission (CEDHJ).</p><br>
<p>The Comité Salvabosque decries, in addition to private development plans, pressure by real estate interests continues, as well as anomalies in the act creating the protected area which they allege favor private interests including the Leaño family, the UAG&#39;s landowners.</p><br>
<h3>Wildfires</h3><br>
<p>Fires are one of the greatest threats faced by this forest. According to environmental groups that protect the forest, some of these fires have been intentional, motivated by economic interests.</p><br>
<p>These fires have had a serious impact on the flora and fauna, as these fires have increased the pace of urban growth in municipality of Zapopan.</p><br>
<h3>Logging</h3><br>
<p>Given its illegality, over the long term, logging is the main cause of the disappearance of flora and fauna, and has increased in severity due to encroaching urbanization.</p><br>
<p>Werbellinsee is a lake in the Barnim district of Brandenburg, Germany. It is located south of Joachimsthal in the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve. The southern shore belongs to the Schorfheide municipality. With a surface area of 7.82 km&sup2; it is the fourth largest lake in Brandenburg and with 51 m the second deepest .</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Werbellinsee became famous for the Hubertusstock hunting lodge on its western shore, originally built in 1849, later the resort of East German leader Erich Honecker, where he received several official guests, among them West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in December 1981. The eastern shore near the village of Altenhof was the site of a large Young Pioneer camp (Pionierrepublik Wilhelm Pieck).</p><br>
<p>Today the lake is a popular destination for yachtsmen and the site of several sailing regattas. It is navigable connected with the Oder river and the Baltic Sea.</p><br>
<p>The Lanker See is a lake in the region of Holstein Switzerland in North Germany. It lies south of the town of Preetz in the district of Plön, and is crossed from south to north by the River Schwentine.</p><br>
<p>The Lanker See has wealth of small bays.</p><br>
<p>Almost the entire western area from the lakeshore to the tracks of the Preetz-Ascheberg railway line are a nature reserve.</p><br>
<p>The Lanker See has a surface area of 323.6 hectare, is up to 21 metres deep and is about.</p><br>
<p>It is divided into a large northern and a smaller southern part, that are joined by a passage a little more than 1 metre deep.</p><br>
<p>Without the islands its shore length is 17 km.</p><br>
<p>The Lanker See lies in the borough of Preetz and the municipalities of Kühren, Wahlstorf and Schellhorn.</p><br>

<p>Wentworth Falls is a three-tiered waterfall fed by the Jamison Creek, near the town of Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The falls are accessible via the National Pass Walking Trail and the Overcliff/Undercliff Walk. The total height of the waterfall is 187 m. Near the falls, there is a rocky knoll that has a large number of grinding grooves created by rubbing stone implements on the rock to shape and sharpen them. These marks have been determined to be signs of early human habitation nearby.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>A picnic area, accessible via a sealed road from the Great Western Highway, is located a short distance from the town of, with parking for cars and larger vehicles.</p><br>
<p>A view of the top of the falls is easily accessible from the Wentworth Falls Lookout which is accessed by a slightly sloping concrete path (wheelchair accessible) from the car park area. Stop first at the Jamison Lookout for views over the valley.</p><br>
<p>There are two access points which lead down well formed steps to Princes lookout from where you can see most of the first two sections of the falls before they disappear into the valley below.</p><br>
<p>A good way to do this walk to Princes lookout is to walk out to the Wentworth falls lookout and then take the steps leading down to the falls, about an 8-minute walk. (Note some of the steps are larger than normal).</p><br>
<p>When returning take the left fork when you come to the meeting of two stairways, this will bring you back to the main pathway at the top near the Jamison lookout</p><br>
<p>Other easy and challenging walking trails loop from the picnic area and follow the Jamison Creek south to the top of Wentworth Falls where scenic views over the expansive Jamison Valley to the south can be enjoyed. A trail follows the creek as it cascades down several waterfalls; with a further trail leading down into the valley floor.</p><br>
<p>A fatality occurred in 2000 when an English tourist plunged off the waterfall while paddling in a rock pool.</p><br>
<p>In January 2013, another English tourist died after falling 100 m when he slipped on rocks.</p><br>
<p>In February 2013, following a period of high rainfall, the Wentworth Falls was reported as looking "spectacular" with torrents of water flowing.</p><br>
<h2>Arriving by train</h2><br>
<p>From the Wentworth Falls train station, the easiest way to reach the Blue Mountains National Park is to walk the Charles Darwin Walk. You will follow Jamison Creek along this track and enjoy waterfalls and birdwatching. The walk is 2.4 km one way (45min - 1hr 15min) and start from the Wilson Park (10 min from the train station).</p><br>

<p>The Kellersee is a lake in the Holstein Switzerland region of North Germany.</p><br>
<p>It lies east of the village of Malente on the River Schwentine, has an area of 560 hectare, is up to 27 metres deep and lies at a height of. Southeast of the lake is the village of Fissau in the borough of Eutin.</p><br>
<h2>Management</h2><br>
<p>The Kellersee is managed by the Schwarten Fishery (Fischerei Schwarten) who also run a small pub right by the lakeshore.</p><br>
<h2>Water sports and ice skating</h2><br>
<p>At some points on the lake there are dangerous katabatic winds (Fallwinde) that are often underestimated and may lead to serious problems. This occurs mainly in the Fissau Bay. At this point, the lake lies between two steep hills, due to its glacial history. In addition, the lake is particularly deep, because the Schwentine enters it here.</p><br>
<p>The adjacent Mondschein or Stille Bay freezes later than the lake, as does the area around the mouth of the Schwentine. The thin sheet of ice in these areas can be dangerous.</p><br>
<p>The Dieksee is a lake in the Holstein Switzerland region of North Germany.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>It has an area of 386 hectare, a maximum length of about 3.4 kilometres and a maximum width of 1.6 kilometres.</p><br>
<p>The lake is up to 38 metres deep, its surface elevation is about and it is crossed by the River Schwentine from east to west. This waterway links the Dieksee to the other lakes in the Holstein Lake District (the Kleiner- and Großer Eutiner See, the Kellersee, the Großen- and Kleinen Plöner See and the Ukleisee).</p><br>
<p>Like the rest of Holstein Switzerland, the Dieksee was formed during the last ice age. Dead-ice was preserved in the hollow thus formed; when that melted the lake was formed.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Boats may use the lake and pleasure boats (run by 5-Seen-Fahrt) link the largest villages of the Holstein lake district. In the villages of Malente-Gremsmühlen, Niederkleveez and Timmdorf there are jetties on the Dieksee. There is a circular walk and cycle path around lake which is about 14 kilometres long. From the Holzberg Tower there is a good overview of the Dieksee, the lake&#39;s islands of Langenwarder and Gremswarder and the other lakes in the region.</p><br>
<p>Rampart Reservoir or Rampart Range Reservoir is a reservoir northwest of the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado in Pike National Forest. The reservoir is located on a granite plateau approximately 9,000 ft above sea level, and consists of a body of water with a capacity of 13,000,000,000 usgal. This water supplies the domestic drinking water for the city of Colorado Springs, and because of this fact, access to the area was briefly limited after the September 11 attacks on the United States. The area today is a popular recreation area for boaters, mountain bikers, and hikers.</p><br>
<p>Planning for construction of the reservoir began in the 1960s in recognition of the growing population of south-central Colorado and its increasing need for drinking water. In 1967, the city of Colorado Springs voted that the planned reservoir would eventually be opened for public recreation after construction of the necessary facilities. In 1969, the reservoir&#39;s dam was built, stretching 3,400 ft long and 230 ft high. Five years after its completion, the dam was completely filled and opened to the public as a recreation area. The reservoir has been stocked with fish by the Colorado Division of Wildlife, which continues to do so today.</p><br>
<p>Rampart Reservoir closed on June 23, 2012 due to the Waldo Canyon fire. The reservoir was reopened for limited access (no boats) on Friday, May 24, 2013.</p><br>
<p>Herthasee is a lake on the island Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. At a length of 170 m and a width of 140 m, it covers a surface area of 0.202 km². It has a maximum depth of 11 m. It is located in the center of the Jasmund National Park and its famous chalk cliffs.</p><br>
<p>At its embankment, the lake features a Slavic hill fort called Herthaburg, with a height of 17 m. It was constructed and inhabited between the 8th and 12th century.</p><br>
<h2>Nerthus and Hertha</h2><br>
<p>The misreading of the goddess name Nerthus in Tacitus&#39;s 1 CE ethnographic work Germania on the ancient Germanic peoples led to the proliferation of the goddess name Hertha from the 16th century to the 19th century, which led to the coining of the hydronym Herthasee. However, developments in historical linguistics led to a widely accepted etymological identification with the North Germanic god Njörðr. The location of the Nerthus lake ritual attested in Germania has subsequently been rejected, with contenders such as the island of Zealand (in modern Denmark) often proposed.</p><br>
<p>The Großer Eutiner See is a lake in Holstein Switzerland, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It lies northeast of the town of Eutin.</p><br>
<p>It has an area of 230 hectare, is up to 17 metres deep and lies at a height of about. It northern side borders directly on the woods of the Seeschaarwald. In the western part of the lake, separated by the Bebensund Bridge, the Fissauer Bucht, its main inflow, the River Schwentine enters, and then leaves again a little further west. For boating enthusiasts the Schwentine is only navigable upstream as far as the Großer Eutiner See.</p><br>
<p>There are two islands in the Großer Eutiner See:</p><br>
<p>Pheasant Island (Fasaneninsel) on which the origins of the settlement in that area are located, and which used to be a visual axis point for the former baroque garden at Eutin Castle and which has been re-occupied today and is in private hands, and the so-called Liebesinsel ("Love Island").</p><br>
<p>Musicals take place during the summer in the castle garden on the shore of the Großer Eutiner See.</p><br>
<p>The Sibbersdorfer See is a lake in the district of Ostholstein within the region known as Holstein Switzerland in the North German state of Schleswig-Holstein.</p><br>
<p>It lies between Sibbersdorf and Fissau, north of the Großer Eutiner See, near the town of Eutin.</p><br>
<p>It has an area of 60 hectare, is up to 7 metres deep, lies at an elevation of about and is crossed by the River Schwentine.</p><br>
<h2>Gull island</h2><br>
<p>There is a gull island, about 5,000 square metres in area in the Sibbersdorfer See.</p><br>
<p>Until it was sold in 1988, gull eggs were collected here.</p><br>
<p>When this practice ended, the island became increasingly overgrown as it was no longer mown.</p><br>
<p>The Eutin-Malente Bird Conservation Group took over this maintenance function in 1995 and the number of breeding pairs increased again.</p><br>
<p>Reed buntings and reed warblers have no longer bred here since the end of the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>In 2004 1,051 breeding pairs of birds of 19 species were counted, including: 750 pairs of black-headed gulls (1996: 50 pairs), three pairs of Mediterranean gulls, 22 pairs of common terns, 15 pairs of Canada geese, one pair of oystercatchers, two peewit pairs, 12 pairs of graylag geese, 49 pairs of tufted duck and a pair of mute swans.</p><br>

<p>Funtensee is a lake in the Steinernes Meer plateau in the Nationalpark Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, Germany located on the larger of the two sinkholes of the uvala, known for record low temperatures up to 30 °C  lower than the surrounding area. Its primary inflows are the Steingraben, Stuhlgraben and Rennergraben.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>At an elevation of 1601 m, its surface area is 3.5 ha. Its outflow toward the Schrainbach is subterranean at a location called Teufelsmühle. On its shore is the Kärlinger Haus mountain hut which is open for the summer season; in addition, there is a winter room available. The valley is surrounded by Viehkogel (2,158m), Glunkerer, (1,932m) and Stuhljoch (2,448m) which leads to the Funtenseetauern mountain (2,578m), named after the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Earliest evidence of use of the area for grazing can be traced to ca 1604-1619. Around 1870 there is evidence of eight active Kaser (living quarters/stables) causing concerns of overgrazing. The Funtenseealm was active through 1964.</p><br>
<h2>Temperature</h2><br>
<p>Known as the coldest spot in Germany, the lake is the site where the country&#39;s record lowest temperature, −45.9 °C (-50.6 °F),</p><br>
<p>24.12.01 shortnews.de was recorded on 24 December 2001. It is theorised that due to the unique situation of trapped cold air, a temperature of -55 °C (-67 °F) is possible. The extreme cold spot at the lake is said to result in a reverse tree line, as no trees can grow at any point below about 60 m above the lake, although studies have found that it was the result of overgrazing animals. Temperatures are regularly monitored by a private weather station installed by Jörg Kachelmann.</p><br>
<h2>Outflow</h2><br>
<p>The noise of the water disappearing underground has led to local folklore and the naming of the outflowpoint Teufelsmühle (Devils Mill or Devils Grinder). The exact route the water takes underground has not yet been established and an extensive cave has not been ruled out but the outflow point is not accessible to humans to investigate.</p><br>
<p>Heiliger See  is a lake within the city limits of Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany, located northeast of the city center and bordering the historic park known as the New Garden. Together with the lakes Sacrower See and Groß Glienicker See to the north it forms a chain of lakes resulting from a glacial tunnel valley. The lake is 1.33 km long and 300 metres wide on average.</p><br>
<p>Because of its picturesque location amidst the historic parks and palaces of Potsdam, with the Marmorpalais on its west shore and Cecilienhof near the north shore, the lake is a popular goal for excursions and has an attractive residential area on its eastern shore.</p><br>
<p>On the north shore there are informal places for swimming and sunbathing, as well as a connection to Lake Jungfernsee and thus to the Havel River’s extensive network of waterways via the Hasengraben, a short canal where the water is kept dammed up to maintain a high water level for the lake. This is done to keep the wooden piles on which the Marmorpalais is built from being exposed to the air and drying out.</p><br>
<p>The lake suffers from an overload of biomass, especially from falling leaves which are decomposed by bacteria on the shallow bottom, depleting the lake of oxygen in the process. In summertime the depths can be virtually without oxygen, causing dead ecological zones.</p><br>

<p>Groß Glienicker See is a lake in the states of Brandenburg and Berlin, Germany. At an elevation of 31.6 m, its surface area is 0.66 km². The border between the city of Potsdam and the city of Berlin runs in a north-south direction through the center of the lake, with the Potsdam locality of Groß Glienicke on the left shore and the Berlin locality of Kladow on the right shore.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Together with the Sacrower See to the south and the Heiliger See in Potsdam, Glienicker See forms a chain of glacial lakes. It lacks a surface outlet and is almost entirely fed by groundwater.</p><br>
<h2>The lake during the Cold War</h2><br>
<p>The border between West Berlin and East Germany in the center of the lake was marked by buoys. The Berlin Wall on the west and south shores prevented access to or even a sight of the shore by East Germans. For those in West Berlin the lake was a popular place for swimming. One could swim (or in the winter walk over the ice) up to the buoys.</p><br>
<p>Templiner See is a lake in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. It stretches to the south and west from the centre of the city of Potsdam.</p><br>
<p>The lake is some 5.8 km long, with a maximum width of 1.2 km and a surface area is 5.11 km². It lies at an elevation of 29.4 m above sea level, and has a maximum depth of 6 m.</p><br>
<p>The navigable River Havel flows through the lake, entering it at its northern end adjacent to central Potsdam, and leaving it at its southern end via a short channel to the Schwielowsee between Caputh and Geltow. The lake is crossed by two cable ferries, the Kiewitt Ferry towards its northern end, and the Caputh Ferry at its southern exit. Navigation is administered as part of the Untere Havel–Wasserstraße.</p><br>
<p>At the northern end of the lake, the peninsula of Hermannswerder protrudes into the lake. At about its midpoint, the lake is crossed by the Berlin outer ring railway, using an embankment and bridge. This was built in the 1950s, to bypass West Berlin during the division of Germany.</p><br>
<p>Lake Senftenberg  is an artificial lake in Landkreis Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Brandenburg, Germany. It is located in the Lusatian Lake District, a chain of artificial lakes. The lake is located on the border of Lower and Upper Lusatia between the southern Brandenburg city of Senftenberg and its districts Niemtsch and Großkoschen. Lake Senftenberg is one of the largest artificial lakes in Germany with an area of 1300 hectares.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The convenient location means that the Lake Senftenberg is very popular especially for visitors from Saxony. The journey from Dresden to Lake Senftenberg on Federal Highway 13 takes less than an hour.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake was created by the flooding of the former opencast lignite mine of Niemtsch by the Black Elster from 15 November 1967 to November 1972.</p><br>
<p>The flooding rate was initially at up to 60 cubic metres per minute. To shorten the filling time, another flood channel was opened 40 meters away from the first channel in May 1968. Melt water and rain water meant that the flooding rate increased to up to 140 cubic metres of water per minute.</p><br>
<p>Since the commissioning of the first beach section in 1973, the lake has enjoyed great popularity as a recreational area with holidaymakers, bathers, surfers and sailors. Of a total of 18 kilometres of shoreline, 7 km are considered to be beaches. After 1990, embankments were built on large sections, because the variable water level threatened to cause large parts of the lake edge to collapse. The depth of the lake was initially 40 metres, but more recent measurements have found no points deeper than 25 metres.</p><br>
<p>From December 2010 to April 2013, a town harbour was built in Senftenberg. It was opened on 23 April 2013. It created a marina with over 100 boat moorings, an 80 metre-long floating pier and a harbour building. The construction costs amounted to €13 million.</p><br>
<p>The Rosensee is a lake in the region of Holstein Switzerland in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake began as a reservoir, built in 1908 as part of the construction of the Schwentine Hydropower Plants (Schwentine Wasserkraftwerke) by the shipyard builder, Bernhard Howaldt, and today is a fundamental component of the landscape park of the River Schwentine. To achieve this, Howaldt had first to buy up lands along the Schwentine from the Count of Rantzau and Preetz Priory. The price of a hectare at that time was about 2,000 marks. Thanks to the hydropower stations of the Oppendorf and Rastorf Mills, now cultural monuments, the village of Raisdorf was first supplied with electricity in 1904. The hydropower plants are now operated and preserved by the Kiel Public Utility Company.</p><br>
<p>The Gibb River is a river in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of the river rise between the Caroline and Gibb Ranges. The river flows in a northerly direction until merging with the Drysdale River, of which it is a tributary. Gibb River has three tributaries: North Creek, Plain Creek and Russ Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Gibb River was named in 1901 by the surveyor Charles Crossland during an expedition in the Kimberley area. It is named after geologist Andrew Gibb Maitland who had accompanied Crossland and was present when the river was first sighted. In turn, it gives its name to the Gibb River Road, a former cattle route that stretches almost 660 kilometres (410 mi) across the Kimberley between the towns of Derby and the Kununurra and Wyndham junction of the Great Northern Highway.</p><br>
<p>The traditional owners of the area that the river flows through are the Ngarinjin people.</p><br>
<p>Schmachter See is a lake near Binz on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen. It lies within the county of Vorpommern-Rügen in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It has an elevation of 1.1 metres above sea level and its surface area is 1.18 km². It is part of the Schmachter See and Fangerien Nature Reserve.</p><br>
<p>The lake has its origins in the Ice Age. At the end of the glacial period there was an ice front here. Today the lake has an area of about 118 hectares. Before about 14,000 years ago the lake, which was then still part of the Baltic Sea, had a depth of up to 15 metres. About 5,000 years ago the waterbody was cut off from the Baltic by the bar of the Schmale Heide. Its only link to the Baltic is the drainage ditch of the Ahlbeck stream. As a result of natural silting-up processes it is today a shallow lake. In the centre it has a depth of only one to two metres. In addition the lake has lost a lot of its former area. Originally it puportedly reached as far south as Nistelitz. The name of the lake comes from the settlement of Schmacht to the southwest, but which no longer lies on the lake shore. The Ahlbeck, which drains the lake into the Baltic Sea, was canalised in the 1950s. The mouth of the pipe or ditch is located on the beach of Binzer Strand and is marked by an information sign.</p><br>
<p>A variety of animal and plant species live on the lake and, including 40 species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. For example, the bittern reed warbler greylag goose, goosander, smew white-tailed eagle and osprey occur here.</p><br>
<p>The shores of the lake are mainly covered in beech woods. At the foot of the slopes are seepage springs. Close to the lake are alder carrs and marshes. The shore itself is mainly fringed by reeds and quaking bog vegetation.</p><br>
<p>At the northern end the lake is the village of Binz. Here, there is a promenade and the "Park of Senses" (Park der Sinne).</p><br>
<h2>Restoration project</h2><br>
<p>For many years effluents were discharged into the lake from a since-closed sewage farm. In addition, fertiliser chemicals entered it as a result of agriculture. The lake thus suffered from eutrophication to such an extent that by 1990 the ecology had become unstable. It had caused heavy silting. As part of a project sponsored by the municipality of Binz and the East Rügen Rural Conservation Association (Landschaftspflegeverband Ostrügen), 300,000 cubic metres of lake mud will be removed. In addition, phosphorus will be removed from 1.45 million cubic metres of sea water.</p><br>
<p>After completion of the project, a nutrient-poor, macrophyte-dominated freshwater lake will be created.</p><br>
<p>In the course of renovation in 2008 piping for the canalised Ahlbeck stream was replaced. A total of 450 metres of iron pipe was laid from the Schmachter See to the seabed of the Baltic.</p><br>
<p>Auesee is an artificial bathing lake in Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, about 50 km northwest from the state capital of Düsseldorf. A popular recreation spot, it has been referred to as the "jewel" of Wesel.</p><br>
<h2>Terrain</h2><br>
<p>The lake has a surface area of 1.55 km&sup2;. Within the lake there are distinct areas of shallow water with depths up to, while its deepest point is. The main lake basin is stable, and the banks are fixed. A peninsula stretching into the lake from the southeast divides the waters into a north-east and a south-west basin, both of which are connected to the north basin. As an artificial lake, Auesee has no inflow or outflow, and is fed exclusively by groundwater.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The formation of Auesee was initiated as a partnership between the municipality of Wesel and the excavating company Hülskens & Co. Negotiations began in 1959, and resulted in an agreement that the company would remove gravel from the site to use in their gravel pit, and the city would fill in the resulting pit to form a bathing lake. The project broke ground in May 1963 and excavation continued until 1993.</p><br>
<p>The beach was first opened on a provisional basis in 1970, and proved to be an immediate success. Construction on the jetty and slipway for recreational boating began in 1971, and these areas were opened to the public in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Although it is an artificial lake, Auesee is well-integrated into its natural surroundings, providing a habitat for local plants and animals. The shores of Auesee are partially lined with a dense stand of riparian woodland. In some areas there are sparse beds of reeds. The underwater vegetation is richly developed. The shoreline is densely populated up to depths of with starry stonewort, or Nitellopsis obtusa. In the shallower areas, major species include Myriophyllum spicatum, Elodea nuttallii, Potamogeton lucens, and Potamogeton perfoliatus, as well as numerous other species of pondweed.</p><br>
<p>There is very little phytoplankton in Auesee. Only diatoms and cryptophyceae occur regularly. Rhodomonas minuta, Gymnodinium helveticum, and some species of genus Cyclotella occur temporarily in larger numbers.</p><br>
<p>The lake has been stocked with various types of fish, which have established breeding populations. Among those found in the lake are carp, pike, pike-perch, perch, tench, eels, and white fish like common roach and bream.</p><br>
<p>Many waterfowl have taken up residence on the lake and the peninsula. Most commonly found are Eurasian coots, Mallard ducks, herons, pochards, and mute swans. A protected island for bird nesting, as well as floating nesting grounds within the lake, have been provided to encourage these species to settle at the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Auesee is a popular lake for recreation, with many different possible activities both in and out of the water. As a bathing lake, Auesee has a large sandy beach for swimming, sunbathing, and beach volleyball. The DLRG operates a lifeguard station on weekends and holidays. Auesee is also popular with divers, and in 2000, a yacht called The Poiseidon was sunk into the lake for divers to explore. The lake sports a slipway and a jetty for small pleasure craft.</p><br>
<p>There are also lighted paths around the lake for walking, running, and cycling.</p><br>
<p>Großer Stechlinsee or Lake Stechlin is a lake in Landkreis Oberhavel, Brandenburg, Germany. At an elevation of 60 m, its surface area is 4.52 km². The Stechlin cisco, a dwarfed fish, is found only in this lake. Theodor Fontane&#39;s last novel, Der Stechlin, was set in its vicinity.</p><br>
<p>Stechlinsee has a maximum depth of 69.5 metres, making it one of the deepest lakes in the State of Brandenburg. It is also one of the clearest with a visual depth of up to 11 metres (average 6 metres). The water is of drinking quality.</p><br>
<p>It is home to the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries.</p><br>
<p>The Stechlin district is still one of the most important oligotrophic landscapes of Central Europe and a LIFE project was undertaken for the restoration of clear water lakes, mires and swamp forests of the Lake Stechlin.</p><br>
<p>On 22.3.2012 The Global Nature Fund announced Lake Stechlin as the "Living Lake of the Year 2012".</p><br>
<p>The Stadtwaldsee  is an excavation lake in Bremen, Germany. It is commonly known as the Unisee  due to its proximity to Bremen University. At an elevation of 1 m, its surface area is 28.2 hectare.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The lake is located in the Horn-Lehe district of Bremen, north of Bürgerpark (the main city park) and the Stadtwald (city forest) between Technologiepark Bremen (Bremen Technology Park) and Bundesautobahn 27 in the north.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>On the northeastern shore is the so-called "Uni-Wildnis", a nature reserve, a nude beach and, somewhat further west, the camping ground "HanseCamping Bremen". To the southeast, on the shore closest to the university, lies a grassy recreational area with a sand beach that is open to the public for swimming. There are occasional concerts and open air events in this area.</p><br>
<p>The western end of the lake is currently used by windsurfers, anglers and divers. A water skiing facility being planned in 2005 and 2007 caused a dispute between a citizens&#39; initiative and a majority in the City Advisory Council on the one side and the Minister for Interior and Sport (the potential operator) on the other side. Several investors plan to build hotel or wellness facilities against the will of the local residents on the north-eastern part of the lake.</p><br>
<p>In summer the water often develops an algae buildup, so the lake must occasionally be closed for swimming.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake and the nature reserve were created by sand extraction during the development of the A 27 motorway and the construction of the university.</p><br>
<h2>Access by public transportation</h2><br>
<p>The bus stops Wetterungsweg, Campingplatz, and Stadtwaldsee on bus line 28 of the Bremer Straßenbahn AG are all near the northwest shore of the lake.</p><br>

<p>The Nonnensee is a lake in the borough of Bergen auf Rügen, Vorpommern-Rügen district, in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is located northwest of the town of Bergen auf Rügen and is a very shallow lake. As a result, attempts were made as early as 1859/60 to drain the lake for agricultural land. Since about 1970 the lake was artificially drained and dried out. In 1993 the pumping station was shut and the lake re-established. Only a few tree stumps that jut out of the water, indicate that it was temporarily dry land. The lake is part of the protected area known as the North Rügen Bodden and Nonnensee  and is a breeding place and sanctuary for many bird species as well as a recreation area for the nearby town. For example, a five kilometre long circular path runs around the lake with benches and two bird hides from which the rich variety of bird life can be observed.</p><br>
<p>The lake lies at an elevation of 16.1 metres and has a surface area of 0.7 km².</p><br>

<p>The Dämeritzsee is a lake located in Brandenburg and Berlin, Germany. At an elevation of 32 m, its surface area is 93.5 hectare. It is located partly in the municipality of Erkner  and part in Rahnsdorf, a Berliner locality in Treptow-Köpenick district.</p><br>
<p>The lake forms part of the course of the River Spree, and is the location of that river&#39;s confluence with the short Flakenfließ that flows out of the Flakensee. The reach of the Spree downstream to the Müggelsee is also known as the Müggelspree.</p><br>
<p>The Muggelspree and the Flakenfließ are both navigable, and the lake is also linked to the nearby Seddinsee by the Gosen Canal. The lake sees considerable sightseeing and leisure traffic, and also forms a link in a commercial navigation route from the limestone workings at Rüdersdorf, which reaches the Flakensee by a lock at Woltersdorf, and connects to the River Dahme and the Oder-Spree Canal via the Seddinsee.</p><br>
<p>Ziegeleisee is a lake in Berlin, Germany. At an elevation of 35 m, its surface area is 4.7 ha.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Bronze Age - more than 3,000 years ago - clay was mined in the area of loam in order to produce pots and jars. Starting in 1840 the Kühnsche brickyard was extended by a clay and cement products factory. Following the bankruptcy of 1880, the factory building of 1883 was up until the 1960s as a day-and-garden "Seeschloß" used with dance hall and bowling alley. Today, no traces of the factory are found.</p><br>
<p>Another brickyard was built 1854th. It was modern and bigger and had a more effective ring oven which can have up to 12,000 burnt bricks daily. The brickyard was in operation until 1924. The 72 m high chimney was blown in 1932. A time to plant belonging building still stands in the Beneke Dorff Road 115, which is named after the former mill owners.</p><br>
<p>Famous buildings, which were built from the bricks of the local brickworks, are the Red City Hall and the City Hall Reinickendorfer.</p><br>
<p>By 1912, a lake was eventually created by the slow flow of groundwater. It was 30 to 40 m deep. Other witnessed the two flooded former clay pits (about 50 × 50 × 50 m and 150 m). They are located west, 500 meters away. Several surrounding street names also reminiscent of the clay mining.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake is located in Lübars, a locality belonging to the Berliner borough of Reinickendorf.</p><br>
<p>The shape of the lake resembles a trapezoid (geometry) from the well Südsüdostufer 300 m long, which is followed by the east at a right angle, a 150 m long beach and under which a 200 m long beach faces parallel. In the north-north-east is a well 200 m long beach, the final oblique side of the "trapezoid".</p><br>
<p>In the southern part of the bank overgrown with reeds and trees, steep and inaccessible and can not be swum. In the northern part, the banks are flat and occupied by 1926 built pool Lübars (lido Lübars). There are lawn, kept sandy beach and a few artificially fixed portions. The managed pool has basic facilities to bars, beach chair rentals and various sports and play facilities and the designated naturist area. The lake is accessible only through the pool.</p><br>
<p>There is an inflow about 75 meters away and about 4 to 5 acre lake Hermsdorfer. This in turn flows through the Tegeler Fliess, which ultimately results in Lake Tegel.</p><br>
<p>The Southern Theatre is an historic theater located at 21 East Main Street in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It opened on September 21, 1896 and is the oldest surviving theater in Central Ohio and one of the oldest in the state of Ohio. The Southern Theatre is currently owned and operated as a home for live concerts, plays and opera by CAPA . CAPA also manages several other venues in Columbus including the Ohio, the Palace, and the Lincoln Theatres.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Design</h3><br>
<p>Between 1889 and 1893 a series of fires destroyed five downtown Columbus theaters. As a result, a group of businessmen decided to develop a new hotel and theater with modern construction and safety features on the southern edge of downtown. The building was called "The Great Southern Fireproof Hotel and Opera House", and was designed by the local architectural firm of Dauben, Krumm, and Riebel. Construction began in 1894. Both the theater and the hotel were constructed of "fireproof" tile, brick, iron, steel, and concrete.</p><br>
<p>The theaters auditorium design was progressive for its day and was reminiscent of Louis H. Sullivans 1891 Schiller Theatre in Chicago. From the proscenium opening, a series of concentric arches dotted with incandescent electric lights radiate into the house, resulting in superior lighting and excellent acoustics. Built to be self-sufficient, the theater, one of the first commercial buildings in Columbus to use electricity, generated its own power. Additionally, the building had three wells in the basement, from which it produced its own water supply. and is an intimate "jewel box" type theater with two balconies.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Southern Theatre and its associated hotel were added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h3>Use</h3><br>
<p>The Great Southern Theatre originally hosted theatrical touring productions. Sarah Bernhardt was just one of the famous performers to play the theater in its first two decades. In the 1910s and 1920s the theater, now called the Southern, featured first run silent films and live vaudeville. From the 1930s on, the Southern was a popular home for second-run double features. In the 1970s the theater briefly returned to first run fare as the Towne Cinema, showing black exploitation movies. Throughout the 1970s the Southern also hosted a weekly live Country Music Jamboree, sponsored by local radio station WMNI.</p><br>
<p>The theater closed in 1979 and in 1986 was acquired by CAPA. After sitting empty for nearly two decades, the Southern was completely restored by CAPA in 1997-98 during an extensive 14-month rebuilding process. The newly restored Southern Theatre reopened on September 26, 1998.</p><br>
<p>Ruppiner See is a lake in Ostprignitz-Ruppin, Brandenburg, Germany. At an elevation of 36.5 m, its surface area is 8.25 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A Slavic fortification stood at the mouth of the Rhin on the northern shore. In the 12th century, the German settlement of Ruppin (now called Altruppin) was established next to it. A few decades later, Neuruppin was established on the southwest shore. A mill was built in Altfriesack, between the Ruppiner See and the Bützsee next to the Slavic settlement of Wustrau. The latter is probably the oldest settlement on the lake. Around the lake are other villages, which mostly now belong to the municipality of Neuruppin. Wustrau and Altfriesack now form one division in the municipality of Fehrbellin.</p><br>
<h2>Economic and strategic importance</h2><br>
<p>The lake was strategically important as it was the center of the Slavic area. It was also of economic importance due to its fisheries and for transportation. The building of the Ruppiner Canal in 1788 increased its importance, as it was then connected to the Havel and thereby with Berlin.</p><br>
<p>Since 1898, a railroad causeway on the Kremmen–Wittstock line has cut the lake in two, 2.5 km from the north shore running east and west.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Ruppiner See is the reservoir for the wetlands known as the Rhinluch. Until the beginning of May, water is held there from the spring runoff. It is then released over the locks in Alt Friesack to prevent the wetlands from drying out. The management of this runoff has the potential for political conflict.</p><br>
<p>Elfrather See is a lake in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. At an elevation of 30 m, its surface area is 0.5 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The Elfrather lake, popularly known as E for short-sea, is located in the north east of the city of Krefeld on the border of the Elfrath district. The lake was created from a disused gravel pit, which has been filled with groundwater. The degradation was made in the Lower Rhine because of the low water level with typical wetness reduction construction of a dredger. The gravel was taken up in the 1970s for the construction of the A57 Highway, which was set up for the gravel pit as a place of central material supply. After the completion of the lake from the 1970s, it was expanded to its today&#39;s recreational area with many spacious lawns.</p><br>
<p>The lake is now Elfrather primarily a 2.3 km long race track. Swimming in the lake is actually banned because of boat traffic. There is a swimming lake next to the regatta course created specifically. On the sheltered by bushes and of the ways her non-accessible areas of the shore and the regatta course is nudist tolerated. Overall, the lake has a water area of 50 hectare, the water level is 30 m above sea level. It was not until the early 2000s, that the lake was completed. One problem was Vennikel Street, which had crossed the lake and is now demolished, to expand the regatta course to full length.</p><br>
<p>A variety of water sports has settled around the lake. The lake offers opportunities for rowers, sailors and windsurfers. Also for model boats, there is a separate area. There are courses available to obtained a license of regatta. For divers, the lake was long uninteresting, only the fire departments and various emergency services trained here regularly. A disused boat is sunk in the lake and is now a wreck for diving despite poor visibility. The DLRG (German Association to Save Life) the lifeguard of the German Red Cross in turn lead supervision on and around the lake.</p><br>
<p>The lake is separated from the regatta course. Around the lake there is a large lawn, which in summer is always well attended. The entrance to the lake is still free, is only for the parking demands in the summer months for a fee. Nearby there is a large playground, restrooms with showers and toilets, a kiosk and a barbecue area with built stone fireplaces. For kite flying, there is a specially reserved large meadow.</p><br>

The lake is a glacial tunnel valley lake nestling in an ice-age formed meltwater channel, that runs into Lake Müritz from the north. It has one sizeable bay on its southern shore. It is roughly 2,600 metres long and 780 metres wide. Waren&#39;s town centre lies on the southern shore of the lake. The lake thus plays a central role as a recreation area for Waren. For example, there is a canoe and boat hire service on the lake and fishing is also allowed. The Tiefwarensee belongs to the Torgelower See nature reserve, and its northeastern shore is part of the Ostufer Tiefwaren – Falkenhäger Bruch Nature Reserve. Power boats and windsurfing are not permitted.</p><br>
<p>The ten-kilometre-long Tiefwarensee Ice Age Trail runs around the lake. It may be negotiated on foot or by bicycle.</p><br>
<p>Arkenberger Baggersee is an artificial lake in the Barnim Nature Park, close to the Blankenfelde locality in the Pankow borough of Berlin, Germany. Its surface area is 13 ha.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake was created in 1979 from a former gravel pit that was excavated during the construction of the Bundesautobahn 114. The lake is named for the nearby Arkenberge hill.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, bathing and swimming were prohibited in Arkenberger Baggersee, along with eleven other lakes, because the water quality could not be guaranteed to meet European Union regulations on the quality of public-use waters. Prior to that, crowds of up to 1500 people were known to attend on warm days, and there was a great deal of concern about the garbage they left behind.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Thirteen species of fish have been introduced to the lake, including catfish and carp. Although they were introduced as stock, most species except catfish and carp have established breeding populations in the lake.</p><br>

The depression was covered with fen, until a mill run drained the area and the ground water table fell so low that the fen dried out and natural succession in form of forest began to take over. After a decision was made to re-flood the depression, the mill run was closed in 1993, the forest then began to retreat and the fens surrounding the Nietingsee to redevelop.</p><br>
<p>A circular hinking trail passes close to the lake on its way to Speck.</p><br>

<p>Temple Hall is an early 19th-century Federal-style mansion and working farm near the Potomac River north of Leesburg in Loudoun County, Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Temple Hall was constructed in 1810 for William Temple Thomson Mason (24 July 1782&ndash;1862), a son of Thomson Mason and his second wife Elizabeth Westwood Wallace of nearby Raspberry Plain, and nephew of George Mason. The estate became a hub of Leesburg society Altogether, Mason and his wife, Ann Eliza Carroll, raised ten children at Temple Hall. In addition to the Mason family, approximately twenty enslaved African-Americans resided on the property. Under Mason&#39;s management, the Temple Hall estate was a modestly successful farm. Mason cultivated orchards and raised corn, wheat, and livestock.</p><br>
<p>Mason retired to Washington, D.C. in 1857 and sold his farm to Henry A. Ball. After the outbreak of the American Civil War, Henry Ball&#39;s sons left the Temple Hall to join the Confederate States Army. In 1862, Henry Ball was arrested for refusing to take an oath of allegiance to the Federal Government. Ball was released after spending nearly a year in the Old Capitol Prison. John S. Mosby visited Temple Hall on 5 July 1864 and dined with the Ball family. While at the house, Mosby received information that led to the Action at Mount Zion Church. Temple Hall remained in the Ball family until 1878 when it was sold at auction.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, after a succession of owners, the Temple Hall property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. James H. Symington. The Symingtons restored the mansion and made extensive renovations. farm to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA) in 1985. Since then, the NVRPA has operated Temple Hall as a working farm and interpretive center. Temple Hall, along with several neighboring estates including nearby Mason family estate Raspberry Plain, is a contributing property in the 25,000 acre Catoctin Rural Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 31 January 1989. Temple Hall was listed on the National Register on 13 February 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Temple Hall is an early 19th-century Federal-style mansion. It is a Flemish bond brick house with a five-bay facade and is topped by a hipped roof. A small Doric portico shelters the central entrance which is surmounted by a graceful semicircular fanlight. Temple Hall also exhibits tall six-over-six double-sash windows, a frieze encircling the building, and tall interior end chimneys. The property also features a square brick smokehouse and two 19th-century frame barns.</p><br>
<p>The Grigna is a mountain massif in the province of Lecco, Lombardy, northern Italy, with an elevation of 2,410 m. It is part of the Bergamo Alps, and it has two peaks, Grignone or Grigna settentrionale, the higher, and the lower Grignetta or Grigna meridionale .</p><br>
<h2>Geography and climbing routes</h2><br>
<p>To the southwest, the Grigna massif descends precipitously towards an arm of Lake Como known as Lake Lecco. To the east, the mountain runs more gently through fields and forested land into Valsassina. The northern side of the mountain, which is known for its many caves and crevices, arrives at Passo del Cainallo and the town of Esino Lario.</p><br>
<p>The easiest route to the Grignone peak is from the southeast starting at the town of Ballabio in Valsassina. Further up the valley is Pasturo, another traditional starting point for the ascent. The mountain&#39;s relative isolation affords it panoramic views of Alps towards the north and on a clear day the Milan cathedral can be seen to the southwest.</p><br>
<p>The Rifugio Brioschi (a mountain hut with food and has accommodations) sits on the Grignone peak and is open most of the year. There are other rifugios lower down on the massif including Rifugio Bietti, Rifugio Arnaldo Bogani, Rifugio Pialeral and Rifugio Rosalba.</p><br>
<p>Every year in September Grigna hosts a Skyrunning event known as the "Trofeo Scaccabarozzi" which starts and finishes in Pasturo. The route passes over Grigna Meridionale and Grigna Settrionale and covers a distance of 43 km.</p><br>
<p>The Bear Mountain Inn is a 1915 hotel and restaurant owned by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission and located on Route 9W at the northern end of Seven Lakes Drive, just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge in Rockland County, New York. It is now called the Bear Mountain Inn & Conference Center. As of fall 2011, the first floor is now open and features the 1915 Cafe and Bear Mountain Trading Company gift store. Renovation of the upper levels was finished in April 2012.</p><br>
<p>It was added to The National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building has been called "among the earliest examples of a monumental rustic park lodge of a type that became common in state and national parks". Construction required two years at a cost variously reported as $100,000 and $150,000. It was designed by the New York City firm of Tooker & Marsh, in a style strongly influenced by the Adirondack Great Camps.</p><br>
<p>Stone used in the foundations, wall facades and the two remarkably large fireplaces, was obtained from old walls on the properties acquired for Bear Mountain State Park. Chestnut timber used for framing, certain trim, siding and floor-covering, was also obtained from local parklands and milled on site. Despite appearances to the contrary, the building&#39;s basic framework is constructed of steel.</p><br>
<p>The 1915 cellar contained an electric lighting plant that was also planned to furnish power for an escalator from the excursion boat landing to the plateau on which the inn stands. The ground floor included a “luncheon counter” while on the second floor veranda, “moderately priced Table d&#39;hote” meals were sold. The main dining room offered “service equal to any metropolitan restaurant.” According to a New York Times article published in June 1915, “There are no windows or doors. When cool weather comes, the upper floor is to be inclosed in glass.”</p><br>
<p>In 1922-23 the building became a year-round facility with steam heat and enclosed windows. The aim was in part to make it a center for winter sports. Between the 1930s and 1980s changes to the floor plan were made and some historic details and decorative motifs were concealed or lost, and much of the original, rustic furniture was removed. A current renovation aims to restore some of these details.</p><br>
<p>When it became used for overnight accommodations, the third floor was initially remodeled as a dormitory. Later, individual guest rooms were installed with shared bath facilities. In 1975, individual bathrooms were installed as part of a larger renovation.</p><br>
<p>At various times during the 1930s and 40s, the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, the New York Giants football team and the New York Knickerbockers basketball team made the inn and adjacent athletic facilities their training headquarters. Also during this period, entertainment headliners included Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, and some believe Kate Smith wrote her 1931 theme song “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain” while at the inn. If so, the mountain in question might be Anthony&#39;s Nose which lies to the east across the Hudson River.</p><br>
<p>Madame Chiang Kai-shek spent two weeks “in seclusion” at one of the outlying lodges of the Bear Mountain Inn in the spring of 1943, meeting with Wendell L. Willkie there on April 25 before proceeding to the White House for a brief stay.</p><br>
<p>Following the outbreak of World War II, the park commission gave up direct management of the hotel and it was offered as a concession.</p><br>
<p>Terminal Operating Corp. operated the hotel from 1941 until 1965, when it was taken over by Restaurant Associates Inc. As of 1991, ARA Leisure Services operated the inn. A similar contract was announced in December 2008 with Guest Services Inc. of Fairfax, Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation project</h2><br>
<p>On February 18, 2012 the Bear Mountain reopened, after a six-year closure.</p><br>
<p>A public lounge area which had included the building&#39;s iconic second-floor fireplace has been reconfigured as a restaurant and the fireplace is no longer accessible to casual visitors. As was the case prior to the renovations, most of the second floor remains devoted to a catering operation that is inaccessible to the public.</p><br>
<p>A $12 million renovation by H3. HardyCorp, to restore the inn&#39;s “original rustic splendor” announced by the park commission in 2005, would require closing the building to the public for 18 months.</p><br>
<p>Bear Mountain Inn had been closed for renovations since about 2005. Media reports on this topic from time to time were somewhat contradictory. A brief note in the New York Times on Nov. 29, 2009, concerned a high-end charity fund-rasing event for the project, and said renovation was to begin in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Reports since then have put the expected cost across a fairly wide range, while accounts of certain other details have also varied. On April, 2009, a comparatively detailed report in a local Orange County media outlet put costs at $15 million, and also indicating work had been ongoing.</p><br>
<p>The United Methodist Church and Parsonage are a historic United Methodist church and its adjacent historic parsonage located on a 2-acre tract on the corner of East Main Street and Smith Avenue in Mount Kisco, Westchester County, New York. The New Castle Methodist Episcopal Church was designed by J. King in the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture and built in 1868 by Edward Dauchey, while the parsonage, designed in the Victorian style of architecture, was built in 1871. Today the church is known as the United Methodist Church of Mt. Kisco. On November 4, 1982, both the church building and the parsonage were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a single filing.</p><br>
<h2>Church</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1868 by Edward Dauchey, and designed by J. King in the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture, the church building is located at 300 East Main Street. Its Carpenter Gothic features include a steep sloping roof, a board and batten front facade, many lancet windows, a lancet covered front entrance in a side belfry, all of which are typical of such churches. Unlike most of them, it also features a second smaller tower on the other front corner, steeples on each of the two towers, a total of 3 lancet covered entrances on its front facade: one in each tower and one in the center. Its slate roof is also unusual for such churches. Additions to the church building are the 1938 Halstead Memorial Hall on the rear and the 1958 one-story Education Building on one side. Although the additions are not Carpenter Gothic in style, they were designed to complement rather than detract from the original church&#39;s style. Exterior changes to the 1868 church include installing aluminum siding of the rear and sides and replacement in 1980 of the larger steeple with one of similar design but 10 feet shorter. Interior changes made to provide space for a pipe organ and a loft for the choir.</p><br>
<h2>Parsonage</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1871 and located at 31 Smith Avenue next to the church, the parsonage is a 3-story irregularly-shaped Victorian-style house with some Carpenter Gothic features. The third floor consists of a mansard-like roofing system punctuated by side gables, each of which has a single window. In the 1960s many repairs were made to bring the house up to date.</p><br>
<p>The Carillon Canal is a National Historic Site of Canada in Saint-André-d&#39;Argenteuil, Quebec. It preserves the historic Carillon Canal that was first built in the 1830s to facilitate travel on the Ottawa River. It is a prominent heritage site and recreation area, visited annually by 20,000 pleasure boaters and 30,000 people who use its riverside park.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the original canal itself, other items of historical interest are:</p><br>
<p>the remains of lock No. 1, built between 1830 and 1833</p><br>
<p>the superintendents and toll collectors houses</p><br>
<p>the jetty of the second canal built between 1873 and 1882</p><br>
<p>the Carillon Barracks, currently housing the Regional Argenteuil Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Together with the Grenville Canal and the Chute-à-Blondeau Canal, the Carillon Canal was built to navigate the Long Sault Rapids on the Ottawa River which stretched for 21 km from Carillon to Grenville. The impetus for these canals was the War of 1812. During this war, attacks along the Saint Lawrence River jeopardized the communication lines between Kingston and Montreal, the two main military positions of Upper and Lower Canada. The Ottawa River Canals and the Rideau Canal were thus designed as an alternative military supply route in the event of war with the Americans.</p><br>
<p>Work began first on the Grenville Canal in 1818. In 1819, Captain Henry Vernet of the Royal Corps of Engineering arrived from Britain to lead the construction of the project. Hundreds of Irish immigrants and French Canadians excavated the canal under the direction of a hundred British soldiers. In 1833, the Grenville Canal was completed with an original length of 9.5 km and the entire network on the Ottawa River, including the 11 locks, was not fully completed until about 1843.</p><br>
<p>The military requirements decided all aspects of the canal. The size of the locks were set to 134 ft long, 33 ft wide, and only 5 ft deep at the thresholds. These dimensions, standards adopted for military use, were insufficient for any commercial use. Forestry had become the main economic activity in this region, and from 1867, local business people demanded that the government carry out improvements to the network because the original canal network had become outdated. In 1870, the Canals Commission recommended making the Ottawa River deeper between Lachine and Ottawa. Therefore, between 1873 and 1882, the Grenville and Carillon Canals were enlarged (the dam built upstream from the village of Carillon raised the level of the Ottawa River at Chute-à-Blondeau, making the need for a canal and lock there no longer necessary).</p><br>
<p>The canal was designated a National Historic Site in 1929.</p><br>
<p>Further changes were made from 1959 to 1963 with the construction of the Carillon hydroelectric dam and a modern 20 m high lock at Carillon. This work substantially and irreversibly changed the canal network. The dam raised the water level by over 62 ft at Carillon and over 9 ft at Grenville. The new water level flooded the rapids of Long-Sault, transforming them into calm water.</p><br>
<p>Stora Le or Lesjön in Swedish and Store Le in Norwegian is a lake in Dalsland, Sweden, the northern end of which proceeds into Norway and into Värmland, where it continues as Lake Foxen.</p><br>
<p>The lake stretches approximately 70 km (43.5 Mi) from Ed in the south past Nössemark to Töcksfors in the north, on Lake Foxen. It is a narrow lake, rarely measuring more than 2 to 3 km across, apart from a stretch forming part of Lake Foxen, where it reaches a full 5 km. Stora Le and Lake Foxen combined cover 131 km. This makes Stora Le the 19th largest lake in Sweden. Its greatest depth is 99 metres to the south of Västra Fågelvik in the Lake Foxen part.</p><br>
<p>The lake systems level has been controlled since 1945 when the level was raised by 6 dm (2 ft) to 102.1 m (335 ft) above sea level. Lake levels are allowed to vary within a 1-metre bandwidth. The maximum allowed outtake of water is 80 cubic metres per second. The lake is reachable by boat through the Dalsland Canal. The lakes shores are mountainous and the forest nearly grows down to the water line. Dalsland&#39;s provincial fish the fourhorn sculpin is also found in Stora Le.</p><br>
<p>The islet of Trollön (Troll&#39;s island, Trolløya in Norwegian) is situated on the Norway–Sweden border, which divides the island in two.</p><br>
<p>Na Gruagaichean is a Scottish mountain lying between Glen Nevis to the North and the village of Kinlochleven to the South in the Mamores mountain range in the Highlands, Scotland.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Na Gruagaichean is a Munro reaching a height of 1,056 m (3,465 ft) which makes it the 74th highest in the Munro classification and is located at the Eastern end of the Mamores range. Views of the summit are clear from the village and from the B863 road from Glencoe to Kinlochleven except when the peak is shrouded in year-round mist. The mountain is one of the most accessible from the village due in part to its relatively close proximity and well defined path leading most of the way to the summit.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain lies four kilometres north north-east of the village of Kinlochleven. The mountain is double topped at the intersection of three ridges, the South top being the higher and therefore the summit. The narrow North-East ridge connects to Binnein Mor via a minor top (1062m) and the narrow West-North-West ridge connects to Stob Coire a&#39; Chàirn (981m) where a path ascends from Coire na Bà. The third South ridge leads to steep slopes overlooking Kinlochleven which provides excellent views of the village and the area. The mountain has a stony and, in places, craggy summit which gives great views of surrounding mountains such as Ben Nevis and Binnein Mor.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>Ascent up towards Na Gruagaichean usually starts at sea level in Kinlochleven, however it is possible to start by driving to Mamore Lodge and parking at the car park which saves 200m of ascent. From there it is usually climbed using the old stalkers path heading north away from the village before eventually turning east towards the summit. The mountain can also be climbed from Glen Nevis in conjunction with Binnein Beag and Binnein Mor as a ridge walk or a part as the challenging Ring of Steall ridge walk.</p><br>
<p>The Mamores VK race, which starts in Kinlochleven, finishes at the top of Na Gruagaichean.</p><br>
<h2>Folk Tale</h2><br>
<p>told in Gaelic and English about Na Gruagaichean or The Maidens.</p><br>
<p>Bha uair-eigin a’ fuireachd an Callairt duin’-uasal a bha ’na shealgair fhiadh ro ainmeil…</p><br>
<p>There once lived in Callart a gentleman who was a very famous deer hunter. He had a greyhound the equal of which was not then to be found in Lochaber; but, like his master, he was growing old and losing his speed.</p><br>
<p>One day in Autumn the gentleman, followed by his old greyhound, ascended the hill above Kinloch More to chase the deer. He reached the corries he used to frequent; but though he saw herd after herd of them and followed them all day long, he never got near enough to shoot an arrow or to slip the dog after them. At length, when the sun was slipping down in the west, he came upon a fine-full grown stag all by himself, and he slipped the dog in pursuit of him. The dog stretched away with all his might, and at first was gaining on the stag, but as soon as the stag laid his antlers down over his shoulders, and lifted his nostrils in the air, the dog began to fall behind, and soon lost sight of him altogether.</p><br>
<p>Wearied and vexed, the gentleman sat down on a green hillock in a deep glen between two lofty mountains. He was not long there when two maidens of fairest form and mien stood before him, one of them holding a noble dog on a leash. The other was the first to speak, and she said:</p><br>
<p>“You are tired, hunter of the deer,” said she, “and vexed because the old dog has allowed the big stag to escape.”</p><br>
<p>”I am tired, indeed, and grieved, that the grey dog’s best days have passed,” answered the hunter.</p><br>
<p>“Courage, and take this dog with you,” said the second maiden, “and there is not a four-hoofed creature on the face of the earth, from the little hare to the full-antlered stag, but he will catch, and bring to you.”</p><br>
<p>“What is his name?” asked the hunter.</p><br>
<p>She replied that it was Brodum. He took the leash out of her hand, and thanked her for the dog. He then bade farewell to herself and her companion, and went away home.</p><br>
<p>As soon as he rose the next day, he brought everyone in the house out with him, and after turning his face towards the two mountains between which he had seen the maidens, he said: “Do you see yonder two mountains opposite you? From henceforth, remember that you are to call them the Maidens,” and that is what they are called to the present day.</p><br>
<p>The dog followed the gentleman as long as he lived, Never was a leather strap placed on a better dog. Whatever he was asked to do he did, and no creature he was sent after but he caught. And there was no man living he would follow, or answer, save his master.</p><br>
<p>When his master died he lost heart. He followed the funeral as far as the ravine between Callart and the next farm; but he stopped there and descended the ravine where he was seen entering a cave, out of which he never returned. His name is preserved in the names of these two places; for they are still called Brodum’s Ravine and Brodum’s Cave.Folk Tales and Fairy Lore in Gaelic and English Collected from Oral Tradition.</p><br>
