Friday Photo Blog - ENERGY

by Wife of Bath Sun Dec 4th, 2011 at 05:06:21 AM EST

So here's a photo blog taking a very liberal view of the subject of Energy. That's because my photo library hasn't provided enough in the way of "serious" energy examples, so there. But I'll begin with something sentimental and fitting to European Tribune:

front-paged by afew

And jump to a more modern version, this one in Austria:

Here we get a bit of energy from water, by Konigsee in very southeastern Germany:

then on to the USA, where we have the results of the energy of erosion:

and the harnessed energy of the Hoover Dam.

Here in the form of my granddaughter and her Aunt we have Youthful Energy:

and adding my daughter as well, we have "Out of Energy." (Told you I was being liberal with the topic.)

So, if you have the energy, let's see it. Thanks for your indulgence.

Energy = Prana and according to Yoga can be accessed through Pranayama.

Re: Hoover - the other side (none / 1)

I still carry a 4cm raised scar on my scull from a dive made into a too shallow part of Lake Mead nearly 40 years ago. If I ever go bald I'll have a seriously frightening pate.
But now I live in a country with nearly 100% of its energy needs supplied by hydro, so live and let live.

Jerusalem windmill (4.00 / 6)

Windmill, funded by philanthropist Moses Montefiore, built in Jerusalem in 1857.

It was not a success. According to Wikipedia

The mill was not a success due to a lack of wind. Wind conditions in Jerusalem could not guarantee its continued operation. There were probably no more than 20 days a year with strong enough breezes.
