Eins mit der Natur

Natürlich ist der Spreewald vor allem auch eine Kulturlandschaft, aber das macht sich in der Überschrift nicht so gut.
Nur keinen Stress!

Eine Fahrt mit dem Spreewaldkahn bringt den Blutdruck und den Puls runter - garantiert!
Keep on going: HFF!

La Trochita near Esquel, Chubut (Argentina)
An important tourist attractionof Esquel is the narrow-gauge train (with 75 cm between the rails), known as La Trochita locally and in English as The Old Patagonian Express after The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux. It is said to be the only narrow-gauge long-distance train in operation and the southernmost railway in the world. The first fifty locomotives were made by Henschel & Son of Germany in 1922 and were originally modified to use fuel oil and steam. Later twenty-five locomotives were bought from the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia.
The train remains authentic and in operation thanks to the effort of the team of workers at Talleres Ferroviarios El Maiten, that make a lot of pieces and parts by hand. The trains now run as a tourist excursion between Esquel and the small settlement of Nahuel Pan, located at the foot of the volcano of the same name, with other services all the way to El Maitén. Until 1993, the train ran all the way to the city of Ingeniero Jacobacci in Río Negro Province, from where trains ran to Viedma, Río Negro and from there to Buenos Aires, forming the General Roca railway.
Eine wichtige touristische Attraktion der Stadt ist die Schmalspurbahn in 750 mm Breite, die mit regulär laufenden Dampflokomotiven deutscher (Henschel & Sohn GmbH, Cassel) und amerikanischer (The Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia) sowie belgischer (Societe Anonyme Ateliers de Construction de et a Famillieureux) Waggons seit 1922 bis dato (2005) zwei bis dreimal wöchentlich für touristische Zwecke fährt. Die Gleise befinden sich zwischen Esquel - Nahuel Pan und El Maiten - Leleque Museum. Die Bahn wird örtlich La Trochita und im Englischen The Old Patagonian Express nach dem gleichnamigen Buch von Paul Theroux genannt. Seit 1922 werden die Heizkessel der Loks mit schwerem Petroleum geheizt, gegenwärtig mit einer Mischung aus Heizöl und Altöl aus Schiffsmotoren im Verhältnis 1:5, in den Werkhallen von El Maiten gepflegt und mit nach den ursprünglichen Plänen hier einzeln gefertigten Ersatzteilen repariert.

Taken from my Panoramio left overs ...
The Rise and Fall of Panoramio

Panoramio started out fine, and Google bought the site in 2007. Until 2012, the upload rate increased continuously - success story! But Google wanted more: a new "awesome" design, a deeper integration into the Google product world - and exciting became "exiting". By the end of 2014, the upload rate was half of what it used to be in peak days. Google decided to close down the site, ignoring the effort the numerous users have put into it. Many have left since then and joined Ipernity (or other alternatives). Now, during the last active days, upload rates are nearly the same as when Google took over - a roller coaster ride for nothing!
HFF - A fence for Panoramio (3 PiPs and four links…

Today is the day that Panoramio will be switched into read-only mode before completely being shut down in November 2017.
This picture here is an improved version of my most popular pic on Panoramio ( www.panoramio.com/photo/45201657 ) , which received almost a quarter million views. It is a panorama stitched from 7 HDR images and shows the view over the upper Rhine valley in the Swiss Alps. The difference in altitude from this viewpoint down to the valley is about 1500 m. I clearly understood the necessity of the fence ... ;-)
For its Panoramio statistics, see PiP 1. See also the four links in the notes on the bottom of the pic for external usages of my pic in articles about the end of Panoramio.
I joined panoramio in 2008. Most of the first contacts ("favourites") from there are now my friends over here. Even though the future of panoramio was obvious, I continued uploading until spring 2016. It was fun, I learned a lot and received some recognition and over 10 mio views, so in total, I'm fine with it. (PiP 2)

I want to take the opportunity to thank all my fellow Panoramiacs for all the fun and friendship and also the Ipernity community, which is the main reason why I won't miss Panoramio so much.
Have a pumpkin!
