True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

a microburst is a localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm and is usually less than or equal to 2.5 miles in diameter. Microbursts can cause extensive damage at the surface, and in some instances, can be life-threatening. There are two primary types of microbursts: 1) wet microbursts and 2) dry microbursts. Wet microbursts are accompanied by significant precipitation and are common in the Southeast during the summer months.

Time for another from the storm at Porthcawl Lighthouse that I shot last year.
This giant wave only revealed the lighthouse as it began to collapse into a mass of fine spray, it then showed the colour of the sand held in suspension, there was no sign of this when it was on the way up.
the decaying ruin needs support posts to keep it from collapsing.

The construction of this brick church (parish church) is estimated at the middle of the 15th century.
In the following centuries, the church was damaged many times as a result of hostilities and by fires. Large losses were caused by the fire of 1629, during which almost the entire city of Września burnt down. As a result of destruction and looting during the Swedish invasion (1655-1656), the northern wall of the nave and the vaults collapsed. After the reconstruction and removal of damage in 1672, the shape of the inter-nave arcades was changed and the naves were covered with wooden ceilings. During the German occupation in 1939-45, the church was turned into a military warehouse, and its equipment was devastated. After the war, the necessary renovation and restoration works were carried out. Currently, it looks magnificent, showing its original late Gothic character.

Powstanie tego murowanego kościoła (fary) szacuje się na połowę XV wieku, zaś dobudowaną później wieżę na koniec tego samego wieku.
W następnych stuleciach kościół był niejednokrotnie niszczony w wyniku działań wojennych oraz przez pożary. Duże straty spowodował pożar 1629 roku, podczas którego spłonęło nieomal całe miasto Września. W wyniku zniszczeń i grabieży podczas najazdu szwedzkiego (1655-1656) zawaliła się ściana północna nawy głównej oraz sklepienia. Po odbudowie i usunięciu zniszczeń w 1672 roku, zmieniono kształt arkad międzynawowych a nawy przykryte zostały drewnianymi stropami. W okresie okupacji niemieckiej w latach 1939-45, kościół zamieniono na magazyn wojskowy, a jego wyposażenie zostało zdewastowane. Po wojnie wykonano niezbędne prace remontowe świątyni oraz restauracyjne. Obecnie prezentuje się okazale, pokazując swój pierwotny późnogotycki charakter.

Near the famous Grand Canyon of Crimea, not far from the village of Sokolinoe, there is the Silver Stream waterfall, formed by the Sary-Uzen River. Under the rays of the sun, thin streams shimmer like silver, and this gave the waterfall its name. The Silver Streams waterfall has never been distinguished by either fullness or height (only 5.5 m), but it was considered the most poetic and gentle, sophisticated and refined Crimean waterfall. A stone block covered with moss, from which water flowed down in small streams, gave it a special beauty. Unfortunately, in January 2016, the waterfall, or rather, its peak, from which the water flowed so effectively, collapsed. Most likely, the tuff cap of the waterfall, which was 30-50 thousand years old, collapsed due to frost and complete icing of the waterfall. Now, it will take at least 10 thousand years for the waterfall to regain its "silver streams"
Вблизи известного Большого каньона Крыма, неподалеку от села Соколиного, находится водопад Серебряные струи, образованный рекой Сары-Узень. Под лучами солнца тонкие струйки переливаются как серебро, и это дало водопаду название. Водопад Серебряные струи никогда не отличался ни полноводностью, ни высотой (всего 5,5 м), но его считали самым поэтичным и нежным, утончённым и изысканным крымским водопадом. Особую красоту ему придавала каменная глыба, покрытая мхом, с которой небольшими струями и стекала вода. К сожалению, в январе 2016 года водопад, точнее, его козырёк, с которого так эффектно струилась, вода обрушился. Скорее всего, туфовая шапка водопада, возраст которой составлял 30 - 50 тысяч лет, рухнула по причине морозов и полного обледенения водопада. Теперь, чтобы водопад вновь обрёл "серебряные струи" понадобится не менее 10 тысяч лет
Sometimes life can feel like a failure. I get the view that is seen from some. I found that for myself, that it is how one perceives things. A long time ago I felt that I could not win. Then somehow I viewed it that if I am okay with something, then it is okay and good enough. We are in a world where much is expected. Screw them. I like where I am at.
Happy Fence Friday
Hi there,
You might think the title is strange, but here's the story:
The bergenia leaves had been green, but a blast of frost caused them to begin changing colours, especially noticeable in backlit conditions. So I snapped this one and returned to the park a few days later hoping to capture them with even more colour. However, in those two days, the leaves had all collapsed and showed no colour whatsoever. Fall is a fickle season when it comes to leaves.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I love hearing from you! Have a terrific day!

Another for the Dark City Deutschland collection, this I took early December last year on a very cold night, this corner was absolutely disgusting, littered, torn posters, very aged and the steps had this, thanks to a nearby street lamp, almost radioactive hue of green with damp and mold damage, as well the area reeking of stale urine, for another words, perfect!
When I started this project I had no idea just how much an abundance of choice I would end up having, but yet so hard to find. I think you need to keep an open mind and allow not the just the image, but the atmosphere to leak in, then you get it!
Friday at last and I trust everyone had a prosperous week, here's to a great weekend and so as always, thank you!
This is what a collapsed bank really looks like. Construction began in the spring of 1907 in Rhyolite, NV and by 1910 the Cook Bank was closed. The bank was three stories tall and housed the local Post Office in the basement. The inside had marble staircases and all the modern conveniences, like electric lights and indoor plumbing. A financial crisis at the time caused banks across the country to go bankrupt.
