I have to ask, since I’ve wondered about it for years. Why do most of those chimneys have pipes sticking out of them? Chimneys in the US don’t have those. Does it indicate a different pipe for each fireplace in a home?

More or less. There were very few rules when the Georgians were building Bath. Most rooms would have had a fireplace, a flue from a fireplace leading to a chimney pot may have served a couple or more fireplaces. 

Just looked at my parents old house built in 1910, that was 4 fireplaces and 4 chimney pots.

Cheers.

Also, more checking -- taken with a Panasonic GF1 under good light, so Micro 4/3rds are also capable little cameras.

When I lived in my first rental, I went to my next door neighbors' country finca.   I rode up in doubled plastic chairs on the bed of their pickup.  Near Penas Blancas on the horizon.  More open land than Selva Negra.    Las Gemelas, if I'm remembering correctly.  Wife works for BAC and their daughter born the year I moved here.  Fred and Rosario, the adults, little Rosie the daughter.  Most egalitarian couple I've ever seen anywhere.   He worked at the finca about three days a week, took care of the daughter and did house work the rest of the time.   They had a good year sometime before I moved there and bought a pickup truck.  Amazing visit.  Fred's finca may be a keyword for all of them. 

 

I have some Selva Negra photos.  My favorite of them is the pair of Chinese Geese.   Their coffee didn't impress me.   My current landlord's coffee is one of the best espresso coffees I've had here.  He's set up a finca to coffee shop operation, and has had finalist coffees in the Cup of Excellence competition for Nicaraguan coffees.  I've sold my lights but I think I can work with the one flash I have and reflectors/diffusers. 

 

One of the photos I took at Fred's finca is of Penas Blancas cliffs and is on Wikimedia, so no point in having it here.

Interesting story. I only have a handful of Selva Negra images on Alamy. Several of them have done well, so I should probably add a few more. I don't recall what their coffee tasted like, but I do remember the geese, which seemed very out-of-place in the highlands of Nicaragua.

I never heard an explanation of how or why those corrugations built up. Washboard effect is how we called them in Canada back when we had lots of dusty back-roads.They rattled your teeth at the same time as your bottom
