Lahti Railway Station
The Lahti railway station (, ) is located in the city of Lahti in Finland. History During the planning stages of the Saint Petersburg railway, two track alignment options were weighed with regard to connecting the fledgling Finnish railways with the important waterborne route on lake Päijänne: one passing through Anianpelto in Asikkala on the narrow isthmus between lake Vesijärvi and the Päijänne, and another grazing the Vesijärvi on its southern shore, in the village of Lahti in Hollola. The plan to build the line via Lahti was officialized in 1864, largely due to pragmatic reasons: the line turned out approximately shorter than should have it be built through Anianpelto, amounting to a time save of about two hours per trip between Helsinki and St. Petersburg. The diet of Finland in its 1867 session accepted the Senate's proposal to initiate work on the St. Petersburg railway in the following year. The fast schedule was intended to combat the economic fallout of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Henna Railway Station
Henna is a reddish dye prepared from the dried and powdered leaves of the henna tree. It has been used since at least the ancient Egyptian period as a hair and body dye, notably in the temporary body art of mehndi (or "henna tattoo") resulting from the staining of the skin using dyes from the henna plant. After henna stains reach their peak colour, they hold for a few days and then gradually wear off by way of exfoliation, typically within one to three weeks. Henna has been used in ancient Egypt, ancient Near East and the Indian subcontinent to dye skin, hair, and fingernails; as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather. Historically, henna was used in West Asia including the Arabian Peninsula and in Carthage, other parts of North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, the Horn of Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The name ''henna'' is used in other skin and hair dyes, such as ''black henna'' and ''neutral henna'', neither of which is derived from the henna plant. ...
