Origata, Tuesday Sep. 4-1906 After breakfast we went to two small quarries in the Cretaceous limestone. Rocks mainly on bed. There are the Escamella quarries. Made two photogenic slabs and one cyanotype slab. Took a number of pictures looking back to the hills below Origata. See the hills here about one of Ornitholestes cutacens standing near an edge. In those hills has been found the Origata valley in which is situated the village of Origata! As change to get good focus except in covering old surfaces. But many objects are radiating and in sections. On top and back of these Cretaceous hills is the volcano of Origata, Later we visit the great English jute bag factory and then the baranca where the electric power for the immense factory is made. There a mountain stream cuts rocks and deeply into the Cretaceous hills. On the other side of the baranca there is a plain cut through to the river. On another side further on they are cut through, I have taken several pictures around here at one of a epiphytic tree. None of my photos take in the volcano Origata. Whatnot to it now again
