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.

Zwei Wochen in einem Traumland, der Sächsischen Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge), mit einem Camper unterwegs.
Two weeks in a dreamland, Saxon Switzerland (Elbe Sandstone Mountains), with a camper on the way.
Ich stand früh zum Sonnenaufgang auf dem Kleinhennersdorfer Stein. Man sieht links die Kaiserkrone, daneben den Zirkelstein und im Nebel dahinter den Rosenberg.
I stood on the Kleinhennersdorfer Stein early at sunrise. You can see the Kaiserkrone (hill) on the left, next to it the Zirkelstein (hill) and in the fog behind it the Rosenberg (hill).

Sächsische Schweiz (Elbsandsteingebirge)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A4chsische_Schweiz
Als Sächsische Schweiz wird der deutsche Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges in Sachsen bezeichnet. Die durch bizarre Felsformen geprägte Landschaft liegt südöstlich von Dresden beiderseits der Elbe im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.
Bergformen
In der Regel sind zwei Bergformen zu unterscheiden. Als Steine werden zahlreiche Felsformationen des Elbsandsteingebirges in der Böhmischen und Sächsischen Schweiz bezeichnet. Prominente Beispiele sind der Königstein, der Lilienstein, Gohrisch und Papststein. Die Bezeichnung erstreckt sich nicht auf die hügelartigen Kuppen aus vulkanischem Basalt oder granitischem Material des Grundgebirges wie die Waitzdorfer Höhe oder den Großen Winterberg.
Die kretazischen Sandsteingebilde ragen aus den sogenannten Ebenheiten heraus, dem ehemaligen Niveau der Elbe, und stellen ihrerseits Reste einer früheren Rumpffläche dar. Im Zuge der spättertiären Anhebung des Erzgebirges und des seitlichen Druckes vom Lausitzer Bergland zerbrach die Sandsteinplatte kreuzgitterartig, was bei gleichzeitig zunehmender Fließgeschwindigkeit der Elbe und rückschreitender Erosion in den Seitentälern Angriffsmöglichkeiten und Leitbahnen für die zerstörerische Kraft des Wassers bot. Zunächst verblieben die größeren Tafelberge (Lilienstein), oder bereits stark zerklüftete wie Zirkelstein oder Kaiserkrone, oder aber bereits bewaldete (Kohlbornstein), die sich bei weiterer erosiver Zerstörung in langgezogene Grate (Schrammsteine) bis hin zu einzelnen Felsnadeln (Torwächter) auflösten. Morphologisch härtere Schichtpartien, die der Erosion länger und erfolgreicher Widerstand leisten, bilden meist die oberste Schicht. Der Zusammenbruch erfolgt somit meist von unten her bzw. von den Felsflanken.

Saxon Switzerland - Elbe Sandstone Mountains
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Switzerland
Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Saxon Switzerland alone has some 1,000 climbing peaks, as well as several hollows. The area is popular with local and international climbers.
The administrative district for the area is Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. The fortress of Königstein is a well-known landmark.
Hills
As a rule, two types of hill may be distinguished.
Numerous rock formations in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, in both Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland, are known locally in this region as Steine ("rocks"). Prominent examples are the Königstein, the Lilienstein, the Gohrisch and the Papststein. This description does not, however, include the dome-shaped Kuppen such as the Waitzdorfer Höhe or the Großer Winterberg, whose bedrock is made of volcanic basalt or granitic material.
The Cretaceous sandstone formations soar above the so-called "levels" of their surrounding area, the former level of the River Elbe, and represent the remains of an old peneplain. In the course of the Late Tertiary, uplifting of the Ore Mountains and sideways pressure from the Lusatian Highlands shattered the sandstone plate along lines that intersected like a grid and this, combined with the simultaneously increasing stream velocity of the Elbe and regressive erosion in its side valleys, offered new lines of attack and new routes for the destructive power of water. Initially the larger table hills (Lilienstein), or those already deeply fissured like Zirkelstein, Kaiserkrone or already forested (Kohlbornstein), remained, but these too broke up later as a result of erosive destruction into long ridges (Schrammsteine) or even into individual rock pinnacles (Torwächter). Morphologically harder sections of strata, that resisted karstification longer and more successfully, generally form the uppermost layers. The collapse of rock structures is usually therefore a result of erosion from below or from the flanks.
the decaying ruin needs support posts to keep it from collapsing.

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
the winding, steep streets are too narrow for vehicles in many parts, while the only sound to accompany your footsteps during a stroll may be that of the call to prayer.
On a bright day, the sun's rays bounce off sandstone-coloured walls and occasionally, you'll pass by a decaying three-floored Ottoman-style home, its wood-planked walls looming precariously over the street, or the open shutters of a teahouse with a group of old men sipping cups of Cay inside.
The old cobbled streets held plenty of other surprises: unexpected glimpses of well-known structures in the gaps between the decrepit collapsing traditional houses; gravestones on the side of the road, marking an ancient cemetery; a ruined stone arch hinting at an even older structure, all interspersed with modern hotels built in the traditional Turkish style to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the streets.
A mountain spotted from the roadside. It looked partly collapsed. Maybe it was only visual, but definitely interesting and worth stopping and taking a break!
“Then all collapsed, and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.”

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.
...... by the collapse of the tunnel
The Somosierra tunnel is a railway tunnel drilled under Somosierra, in the Central system. It was used by the railroad that links Madrid and Burgos until a landslide in March 2011 left a roadworks machine trapped inside. It was completed in 1933. It is also known as Somosierra tunnel to the A-1 tunnel, opened in 1992.
One of the first lines was that of the Madrid-Burgos Directo, which began to be built in 1928, but it was not finished until 1966, being inaugurated in 1968. In 2011 it suffered a collapse after its partial detachment, remaining closed today. In the summer of 2018, Renfe plugged the two entrances of the tunnel with a small wall, to prevent people from accessing it.
......por el derrumbe del tunel
El túnel de Somosierra es un túnel ferroviario perforado bajo Somosierra, en el sistema Central. Era usado por el ferrocarril que une Madrid y Burgos hasta que un derrumbe en marzo de 2011 dejó atrapada una máquina de obras de vía en su interior. Fue terminado en 1933. También se conoce como túnel de Somosierra al túnel de la A-1, abierto en 1992.
Una de las primeras líneas fue la del Directo Madrid-Burgos, que comenzó a construirse en 1928, pero no se terminó hasta 1966, siendo inaugurado en 1968. En 2011 sufrió un colapso tras su desprendimiento parcial, permaneciendo cerrado en la actualidad. En el verano de 2018, Renfe taponó con un pequeño muro las dos entradas del túnel, para evitar que la gente accediese a este.
I'm nothing special when it comes to B&W photography. Maybe the reason I feel so weird posting this is because I can't remember the last time I haven't relied on color to do the work for me... check the rest of my photostream if you don't believe me.
I was driving out in the country when I came across this collapsed barn. It created a striking graphic image.20160704PalouseDxLrPsv62v3
