  • Chainless Biycle

    Edward 愛看Tour d' France, 每次看到看到那些賽手因為 jamming the chain, 而lose the race又或跌倒甚至傷得很重! 這是他自此而很大願望設計出一款比chain drive 鏈條單車更可reliability賴性, 更安全safety, without losing performance and without increasing the weight of the bicycle, but also inprove the efficiency..

  • solar power and terrestrial power

    The world is desperately looking for alternative power sources in order to reduce greenhouse gases and with it save our planet. Opinions vary widely on what course we should take to achieve a more environmentally acceptable power source ...

  • 2 22 2011 Christchurch Earthquake

    在 4 日 9 月 2010 年, 紐西蘭的基督城發生了一次 7.1 magnitude earthquake. 那時才死了不到幾個人. 建築物也損害不太重(與今次6.3級地震相比). 於是, 地震後, 政府就開始重建了. 才不到半年(5 個月吧了) 就有了第二次的大地震. 2月22日2011, 這次只是 6.3 級地震. 可是死了123人226人失蹤(至今天2月26日為至). 成為了紐西蘭80年來最大的自然災難....

  • Bowerbirds

    Bowerbirds 神奇之處是他們是天才建築師, 為了吸引女性, 他們會建一巢(請看圖), 外面加很多裝飾品(有石塊/水果/果實/花葉/汽水罐... 所有有顏色的東西), 而顏色的挑選完全是由男性認為什麼顏色可以吸引自己喜愛的女性, 而已這些個人口味完全是從遺傳因子而來的...

Europe trip 1089

23rd Aug., 2009, the 7th day – Zurich (Switzerland)> Winterthur (Switzerland) > Schaffhausen (Switzerland) > Lindau (Germany)

早上起來, 車開出Zurich 市區, 再開去 Winterthur,

Winterthur (pronounced: Ger. /ˈvɪntɐtu:ɐ̯ /, Eng. /ˈvɪntərtʊər/) is a city in the canton of Zurich in northern Switzerland. It has the country's sixth largest population with an estimate of more than 100,000 people. In the local dialect and by its inhabitants, it is usually abbreviated to Winti. Today Winterthur is a service and high tech industry centre, but many people make use of its proximity to Zürich, which lies approximately 19 miles (31 km) to the south-east, and only 18 minutes by train.

Winterthur is connected to Germany and Italy by direct trains and enjoys excellent links to Zurich Airport. It is also a regional transportation hub: the A1 motorway from Geneva through to St. Margrethen connects in Winterthur with the A4 motorway heading north toward Schaffhausen and the A7 motorway heading close to the Swiss-German border at Kreuzlingen. There are also roads leading to other places such as Turbenthal. The Station of Winterthur is one of the highest frequented Stations of Switzerland. FC Winterthur is the local football side.

因為想去看看Edward 以前在瑞士工作時的舊居, 可惜找來找去已不到那棟大廈了, 可已能拆了.

瑞士很注重單車人士的安全, 路上的右手邊畫成單車道的, 都特別油上紅色來使駕駛人士注意:

開去Rhine Falls (Schaffhausen):

Europe trip 1134

The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall in German) are the largest plain waterfalls in Europe.[1]

The falls are located on the High Rhine between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich. They are 150 m (450 ft) wide and 23 m (75 ft) high. In the winter months, the average water flow is 250 m³/s, while in the summer, the average water flow is 700 m³/s. The highest flow ever measured was 1,250 m³/s in 1965; and the lowest, 95 m³/s in 1921.

The falls cannot be climbed by fish, except by eels that are able to worm their way up over the rocks.

到了Rhine Falls , 原來這些水都是由Lake Constance 流下來的.  嘩!  好壯觀的大瀑布呀:

在售票處有海報講解渡航的路線, 我們當然挑了4 號 繞一圈航線:

以下是船航線的簡章:

買票後, 先船到對面個亭再轉不同號碼的渡船,  一上船就猛拍了, 拍到另一團已到了大瀑布.

船開到大瀑布啦, 水勢好勁呀!  可是拍出來的效果沒有在現場中宏偉, 加上好難拍照, 因為水花都淺到相機上:
