Topo (Calheta)
Topo, also known as Nossa Senhora do Rosário, is a ''freguesia'' ("civil parish") on the northeastern corner of the municipality Calheta (Azores), Calheta on the island of São Jorge Island, São Jorge.

The population in 2011 was 508, in an area of 9.24 km2.

Topophilia
Topophilia (From Greek ''topos'' "place" and ''-philia'', "love of") is a strong sense of place, which often becomes mixed with the sense of cultural identity among certain people and a love of certain aspects of such a place. History of the term Alan Watts's autobiography, ''In My Own Way'' (1972), starts with the sentence: "Topophilia is a word invented by the British poet John Betjeman for a special love for peculiar places." But it was W. H. Auden who used the term in his 1948 introduction to John Betjeman's poetry book ''Slick but Not Streamlined'', stressing that the term "has little in common with nature love" but depended upon a landscape infused with a sense of history. The term later appeared in the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard's highly influential ''The Poetics of Space'' (1958). Yi-Fu Tuan employed the term for the feeling-link between person and place as part of his development of a humanistic geography.P/ C. Adams et al, ''Textures of Place'' (2001) p. 41 ...

Topo (climbing)
In climbing, a topo (short for topology) is a graphical representation of a climbing route. Topos range from a photograph of the climb on which the line of the route is overlaid, to a detailed diagram of the key features and challenges of the climb, which are typically represented as standardized UIAA topo symbols. Climbing guidebooks compile topos for routes at a crag or in a climbing area. Online climbing databases and apps merge detailed beta (i.e. how to overcome the hardest challenges) as well as the traditional topo information. Some hand-drawn topos by the climber(s) who completed the first ascent of important new routes are notable. Description The term "topo" means "topographical" information, which has historically meant showing the climber not just the basic line of the route, but also the key rock (or topological) features that defined the route. This would help to guide the climbers along the route and also to prepare them for the specific types of technical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
