The term viaduct is derived from the Latin via for road and ducere to lead something. However, the Ancient Romans did not use that term per se; it is a modern derivation from an analogy with aqueduct. Like the Roman aqueducts, many early viaducts comprised a series of arches of roughly equal length. Viaducts may span land or water or both.<BR/>An aqueduct is a water supply or navigable channel (conduit) constructed to convey water. In modern engineering, the term is used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose.[1]<BR/>In a more restricted use, aqueduct (occasionally water bridge) applies to any bridge or viaduct that transports water —instead of a path, road or railway —across a gap. Large navigable aqueducts are used as transport links for boats or ships. Aqueducts must span a crossing at the same level as the watercourses on each side. (Alternative solutions involving a change of water level are a water pump or siphon for water transport, or a boat lift, pound lock, or canal inclined plane for boat movement.) The word is derived from the Latin aqua ("water") and ducere ("to lead")."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-66166672160693042552009-03-21T12:38:00.000+00:002009-03-21T12:38:00.000+00:00Lovely visit to Long Eaton and an absolutely splen...Lovely visit to Long Eaton and an absolutely splendid piece of home-made chocolate cake - so much for the diet! I read Sky's excellent poetry while Brooke did the washing up - she says she likes doing it: to be encouraged I think.<BR/><BR/>Very touched with the Mother's Day card and plant - especially at this difficult time for David, so closely following the death of his own mother.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265308940596696219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-47077005471136355192009-03-21T09:53:00.000+00:002009-03-21T09:53:00.000+00:00I like your night scene although can’t quite see i...I like your night scene although can’t quite see it winning (but who am I…?).<BR/>Surprisingly large ‘red’ content when enlarged – as though all the trees are holly or cotoneaster or something.<BR/>Personally, I would crop about 14.8936% (VAT-free?) or slightly more, off the right-hand side <BR/><BR/>Still addicted to that Aussie imitation then?

Preferred the forsythia - wasn't that supposed to be Moses' Burning Bush?<BR/><BR/>I like a aauce with salmon too, M & S do a jar of Hollandaise which keeps well in fridge, I add a drop of lemon juice to mine. I would have added the parsley chopped into the white sauce.....<BR/><BR/>Camera/panorama - one of those old single-use 'cameras' - we used to buy one each at Heathrow before flying off to exotic places, then we didn't have to worry about losing/getting it stolen, etc. The more expensive ones had a built-in flash, and you could adjust it to take 'normal'. panorama or close-up. Since the advent of digital cameras tney don't seem to be around much, apart from specialist ones like 'underwater' ones. I feel sure though that a 'proper' photographer would have no truck with them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
