Today, I went to hike for a bit. Reached Pont Del Diable — ancient Roman #aqueduct located near #Tarragona, #Spain. The bridge supplied a water to the city of Tarraco, now Tarragona. 249 m length, constructed 2000 years ago

I chuckled when my wife said it could have been a second project in ancient worker’s resume. Next to pyramids in Egypt😁

A section of the #Roman Eifel #aqueduct that supplied water to the city of Cologne. The vaulted underground tunnel with an inspection shaft at Mechernich-Breitenbenden was unearthed during construction work in the late 1970s. The estimated maximum flow rate of the aqueduct was 250 litres per second. At that rate, the aqueduct would have supplied Cologne with 20 million litres of water each day!

Indeed! I well remember the days of rolls of #blackandwhite #film loaded into a #Kodak #Brownie #camera.

That gave you 8 pictures which you had to choose carefully as the whole roll would have to last a week, and you wouldn't see the results, grainy 3" x 2" prints, till after you got home and had taken the film to be developed at the local chemists shop.

Typical examples from my early teenage years at:
