Castello di Rocca Calascio - l'Aquila - Italia Orestegaspari.com Rocca Calascio è un piccolo comune della provincia dell'Aquila, tra i borghi di Santo Stefano di Sessanio e Castel del Monte. Alle sue spalle si può ammirare lo splendido paesaggio dell'Altopiano di Campo Imperatore e di fronte ad esso si possono ammirare le meraviglie della Majella e dei Monti Sirente. Il castello, situato a circa 1460 metri di altezza, è tra i più elevati d'Italia e d'Europa ed è considerato uno dei simboli dell'Abruzzo. Il Castello sembra mimetizzarsi con le pietre che lo circondano, come creazione naturale della montagna. Questa posizione elevata permette di ammirare paesaggi mozzafiato e di provare sensazioni straordinarie, che accendono la fantasia e riconducono ad un tempo antico, ad una natura incontaminata ed esclusiva, come quella del Gran Sasso. Rocca Calascio e il suo castello sono stati set cinematografici di molti film famosi, come Ladyhawke e Il nome della rosa. Il National Geographic ha inserito il castello della Rocca di Calascio tra i 15 castelli più belli del mondo. #castello #calascio #roccacalascio #castellodiroccacalascio #castelliditalia #castelliitaliani #castle #castellidelmondo #castle_oftheworld #castles_oftheworld #laquila #italiainunoscatto #igersitalia #ig_laquila #landscape #landscapephotography #amazingcastle  #paesaggidabruzzo #clickfor_abruzzo #nationalgeographic #natgeolandscape (presso Castello Di Rocca Calascio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVvsHbqUYc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beijing Summer Palace - Beijing - China Orestegaspari.com Emperor Qianlong ordered the construction of the Summer Palace to celebrate his mother's sixtieth birthday. The Summer Palace was built in 1750 and completed in 1764. At that time, the Summer Palace was not called the Summer Palace, or even Yiheyuan, but Qingyiyuan (‘Clear Ripples Garden’) The Summer Palace is known as the ‘Imperial Garden Museum’ in China as its purpose now is the preservation of national heritage material. It harmonizes plants and paths, water and land, architecture and horticulture, epitomizing the philosophy and practice of Chinese garden design The Summer Palace was used as a summer retreat by the Chinese royal family. During the hot Beijing summers, the imperial family preferred the beautiful gardens and airy pavilions of the Summer Palace to the walled-in Forbidden City #instabeijing #emperor #beijing #beijing🇨🇳 #china🇨🇳 #chinatravel #chinatrip #travelchina #instravel #travelphotography #asia_vacations #traveller #discovery #chinainsider #travel2china #beijing #discovery #beautifuldestinations #igchina #loves_united_china #thatsbeijing #chinasights #qualitygroupviaggi #lonelyplanet #mylpguide (presso Summer Palace, an Imperial Garden in Beijing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTdKDqXj_qp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Water drops project Drop-k Orestegaspari.com It is estimated that some 30% of the world's irrigated areas suffer from salinity problems and remediation is seen to be very costly. According to the International Desalination Association, in June 2015, 18426 desalination plants operated worldwide, producing 86.8 million cubic meters per day, providing water for 300 million people. This number increased from 78.4 million cubic meters in 2013, a 10.71% increase in 2 years. The most important users of desalinated water are in the Middle East, (mainly Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain), which uses about 70% of worldwide capacity; and in North Africa (mainly Libya and Algeria), which uses about 6% of worldwide capacity. Among industrialized countries, the United States is one of the most important users of desalinated water, especially in California and parts of Florida. The cost of desalination has kept desalination from being used more often. #liquidart #splashart #dropphotography #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlifi5p6yx/?igshid=1rf50yrhgnbu9

Water drops project Drop-ι Orestegaspari.com Another way saline water is desalinized is by the "reverse osmosis" procedure. In most simplistic terms, water, containing dissolved salt molecules, is forced through a semipermiable membrane (essentially a filter), in which the larger salt molecules do not get through the membrane holes but the smaller water molecules do.  Reverse osmosis is an effective means to desalinate saline water, but it is more expensive than other methods. As prices come down in the future the use of reverse osmosis plants to desalinate large amounts of saline water should become more common. #liquidart #splashart #dropphotography #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIi1VhTpoBe/?igshid=k94hjrq0yn8u

Water drops project Drop-θ Orestegaspari.com The scarcity of freshwater resources and the need for additional water supplies is already critical in many arid regions of the world and will be increasingly important in the future. Many arid areas simply do not have freshwater resources in the form of surface water such as rivers and lakes. They may have only limited underground water resources, some that are becoming more brackish as extraction of water from the aquifers continues. Solar desalination evaporation is used by nature to produce rain, which is the main source of freshwater on earth. #liquidart #splashart #dropphotography #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIgja5opDnp/?igshid=1py7qhyatfqbf

Water drops project Drop-η Orestegaspari.com What do we mean by "saline water?" Water that is saline contains significant amounts (referred to as "concentrations") of dissolved salts. In this case, the concentration is the amount (by weight) of salt in water, as expressed in "parts per million" (ppm). If water has a concentration of 10,000 ppm of dissolved salts, then one percent of the weight of the water comes from dissolved salts. Here are parameters for saline water: Freshwater - Less than 1,000 ppm Slightly saline water - From 1,000 ppm to 3,000 ppm Moderately saline water - From 3,000 ppm to 10,000 ppm Highly saline water - From 10,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm By the way, ocean water contains about 35,000 ppm of salt. #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdseHfJoXS/?igshid=ybbx1w8cse72

Water drops project Drop-ζ Orestegaspari.com Humans cannot drink saline water, but, saline water can be made into freshwater, for which there are many uses. The process is called "desalination", and it is being used more and more around the world to provide people with needed freshwater.  As the population continues to grow, shortages of freshwater will occur more often, if only in certain locations. In some areas, salt water (from the ocean, for instance) is being turned into freshwater for drinking. Different methods are available but these current technological processes must be performed on a large scale to be useful to large populations, and current processes are expensive, energy-intensive, and involve large-scale facilities. #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIa7F3WJu8B/?igshid=d121h15rapa1

Water drops project Drop-δ Orestegaspari.com Where is Earth's water located? Of the world's total water supply of about 1.38 billion km3 of water, over 96 percent is saline. Of total freshwater, over 68 percent is locked up in ice and glaciers. Another 30 percent of freshwater is in the ground. Rivers are the source of most of the fresh surface water people use, but they only constitute about 2120 km3, about 1/10000th of one percent of total water. #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVw_XFpfOO/?igshid=kqovjwwnll70

Water drops project Drop-β Orestegaspari.com The vast majority of water on the Earth's surface, over 96 percent, is saline water in the oceans. The freshwater resources, such as water falling from the skies and moving into streams, rivers, lakes, and groundwater, provide people with the water they need every day to live. Water sitting on the surface of the Earth is easy to visualize, and your view of the water cycle might be that rainfall fills up the rivers and lakes. But, the unseen water below our feet is critically important to life, also.  Even though you may only notice water on the Earth's surface, there is much more freshwater stored in the ground than there is in liquid form on the surface. In fact, some of the water you see flowing in rivers comes from seepage of groundwater into river beds. Water from precipitation continually seeps into the ground to recharge aquifers, while at the same time water in the ground continually recharges rivers through seepage. Humans are happy this happens because we make use of both kinds of water.  #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQYcGUpoXD/?igshid=nnzustxer0i3

Water drops project Drop-α Orestegaspari.com The Earth is a watery place. But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet? About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog. Water is never sitting still. Thanks to the water cycle, our planet's water supply is constantly moving from one place to another and from one form to another. The volume of the water on, in, and above the Earth, would be about 1.386.000.000 cubic kilometers, and form a sphere about 1385 kilometers in diameter. The volume of the Earth's liquid fresh water in groundwater, swamp water, rivers, and lakes, would be about 10.633.450 km3 and form a sphere about 273 kilometers in diameter. Yes, all of this water is fresh water, which we all need every day, but much of it is deep in the ground, unavailable to humans. Most of the water people and life on earth need every day comes from surface-water sources. The volume of this sphere is about 93113 km3. The diameter of this sphere is about 56.2 kilometers #water #waterdrops #waterdroplets #waterdropphotography #watercolor #waterlife #nasa #usgs #noaa #climatechange #climate #macrophotography #speedphotography #photomanipulation #highspeedphotography #drop_perfection #drop_creative #drop_arts #waterdropcollision #speedlightphotography #splash #splashphotography #photoshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOheuKp8or/?igshid=1hkqv9r1sor71
