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.

Trees in winter
With the arrival of winter, and often at the end of autumn, a new problem arises with trees. This specific "winter" problem is associated with the accumulation of wet snow and the formation of frost on the branches and trunks of trees. "Freezing rains" - phenomena occur under certain combinations of weather conditions: sleet, wind, fog, sudden changes in temperature with a "transition through 0 degrees". Such a significant load on the branches and trunks of trees can lead to emergency situations:
1. Breaking off and collapse of large branches. Typical for poplar, aspen, willow, linden, oak. To a lesser extent for pines and elms.
2. Breaking the forks of co-dominant trunks. Most often found in the above tree species with V-shaped forks. Less typical for U-shaped forks of birch and spruce.
3. Bending under the weight of snow and ice, with possible breaking of the trunks of inclined trees.
I found the trees without obvious problems :)

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.
Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙
It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)
....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!
. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)
.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.
The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)
Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.
"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)
some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

________________
"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."

BEYOND【海闊天空】
Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.

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 track runs through a field edge in Somerset, it is parallel with Hollow Lane, a road that runs off a hill into the village of Montacute, Hollow Lane is now a tarmac road. In days gone by these lanes would become progressively deeper,as heavy rains washed away the soil, loosened by the action of carts. Eventually the sides of the deep lane would collapse and a new route would have to be found. I wonder if this short section was part of a deep lane that experienced a collapse and that the current Hollow Lane may be the replacement.

Volterra, the historic city in the heart of Tuscany, many known for the Twilight Saga as the home of the Volturi. The movie was shot in Montepulciano, about 120 km from Volterra.
The town of Volterra is situated on a hill. To the north there is an impressive erosion area, the "Le Balze".
The long abandoned monastery on the upper left is dilapidated and threatened by collapse and demolition.
The picture was taken in the late afternoon after a rain shower.
Volterra, die historische Stadt inmitten der Toskana, vielen bekannt durch die Twilight-Saga als Heimat der Volturi. Gedreht wurde allerdings in Montepulciano, ca. 120 km entfernt von Volterra.
Nördlich der auf einem Hügel gelegenen Stadt erstreckt sich die Le Balze, ein beeindruckendes Erosionsgebiet.
Das längst verlassene Kloster oben links ist baufällig und vom Einsturz und Abbruch bedroht.
Das Bild entstand am späten Nachmittag nach einer Regenschauer.

“Then all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

The pretty little seaside town of Looe in south-east Cornwall lies between two steep hillsides on opposite sides of the Looe River. At one time they were the separate towns of East Looe and West Looe, but they were amalgamated around the start of the 20th century to become the town of Looe. It has always been one of my favourite places, and until recently we had a holiday home just outside the town.
The old town of West Looe was centred around the bottom of West Looe Hill, which leads down to the riverside. There are numerous old buildings there, many of which are listed by Historic England. However, perhaps the newest building in town - despite appearances - is the Sardine Factory, which has only been constructed in the past few years. Cornwall was once famous for its pilchards, which kept fleets of fishing boats occupied. However, they were over-fished and the local fishing industry almost collapsed. Now pilchards are starting to make a comeback, but in order to give them a fresh start they have been renamed Cornish sardines.
