near Lago Verde - Chile HFF and stay safe, my friends!

no life without death Ruta 40 - encounter scanned slide, Minolta X700

With this new scans of old slides I try my best to add the location as geotag. This is sometimes quite difficult and becomes an obsession. Yesterday I searched for hours in Google Earth and Google Street View, until I found it finally (see Google Street View below). Happy and sad at the same time, because the wonderful old tree has collapsed in the meantime and has been cut into pieces. Anyway - HFF and stay safe and happy, folks!

The warm water from the condensers of a sugar mill needs to be cooled to the lowest practical temperature before being re-used. The cooling process is carried out here in spray ponds after which the water is pumped back to the condensers. See also here: www.ipernity.com/doc/berny/10705255

abandoned building in Caibarien - Cuba

and no problems what to choose, because there is no choice......

The sugar mill "Frank País" was located in the remote village Cayo Mambí. Not much is left, except this building, some ruins and the chimney, and a wonderful but rusty and decayed steam locomotive.

There are very few cars on the road in eastern Cuba, even in cities like Santiago de Cuba. One actual reason is a fuel crisis, mainly caused by technical problems with the large refinery in Santiago. But horse carriages for transport are common in any case.
