October 25-26 Aqueduct Pics

Here are some pictures of the aqueduct in Segovia.  I walked along it from where it is just coming out of the ground up to where it crosses the valley into the city walls.
Where it is first above ground

 
The actual channel at the top

A settling house & cistern
 
First arches
 
Arches at 2 metres

 At the corner and the first double arch
