Ajuga reptans is commonly known as bugle, blue bugle, bugleherb, bugleweed, carpetweed, carpet bugleweed, and common bugle, and traditionally but less commonly as St. Lawrence plant. It is an herbaceous flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to Europe. It is invasive in parts of North America. It is also a component of purple moor grass and rush pastures, a Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the United Kingdom.
Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
The Price-Prather House was built around 1868 for a prominent livestock breeder, James R. Price. Cattle breeder John F. Prather purchased the house in 1882. Prather was an influential Shorthorn cattle breeder; as one of the earliest cattlemen to breed shorthorns in Illinois, he became recognized as an authority on the breed, and he served as president of the American Shorthorn Association and a member of the State Board of Agriculture.
The Italianate-style, 12-room, 4,500 sq. ft. red brick house is located on the northeast corner of E. Main and Elkhart Streets, near the central business district of Williamsville. The Italianate-style house features a multi-component slate roof, a bracketed and denticulated cornice, a wraparound front porch, and long arched windows with brick hoods. Around 1910, the front part of the house was altered with a one-story extension to the front block, merging the two front porches. The Price-Prather House was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1991.

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

#smileonsaturday #tabletopgamecomponents
When i read the theme for the next Smile on Saturday Challenge then instantly Memories of my childhood came up. I don`t know how many Hours my friends an me have spent playing this great Game called RISK ! The Game is well known around the world and gets played since over 60 Years by Generations. Back in 1957 it got created by Albert Lamorisse, a french filmmaker. I still own the Game and we play it from time to time when we celebate game nights. So i took the chance to shoot an image of my DE LUXE Version of the Game for the theme quite a while ago.
Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the world, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turns rotate among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players. The game can be lengthy, requiring several hours to multiple days to finish. European versions are structured so that each player has a limited "secret mission" objective that shortens the game.

It’s Christmas day and the scrappers working in Wisconsin Central’s Shops Yard locomotive facility at North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, are home with their families enjoying the holiday. In the foreground, torched hoods sit on the ground, and the prime movers, generators and other engineroom components already gone from the locomotives. The job isn’t done yet, but the fate of these three former Soo Line GP30s is sealed as WC Nos. 709, 717 and 718 are not much more than scrap metal on December 25, 1994.
Ich war fasziniert von den korkenzieherartigen Ranken dieser Pflanze. Interessant, was man herausfinden kann...
Die bei Reife roten oder schwarzen Beeren der Rotbeerigen und der Weißen Zaunrübe sind sehr giftig: Bereits 15 von ihnen können tödlich für ein Kind sein. Auch alle anderen Bestandteile der Pflanze, Wurzeln, Ranken und Blätter, sind giftig. Das Zerreiben der Beeren auf der Haut führt zu Hautreizung und Blasenbildung.
I was fascinated by the corkscrew-like tendrils of this plant. Interesting what you can find out ...
When ripe, the red or black berries of the red and the white bryony are very poisonous: 15 of them can be fatal to a child. All other components of the plant, roots, tendrils and leaves are also poisonous. Rubbing the berries on the skin causes skin irritation and blistering.

La structure de 80 mètres de long sur 16 mètres de haut, est composée de quelque 35.000 planches en bois de toutes les couleurs.
L'oeuvre monumentale éphémère d'Arne Quinze " The Passenger", érigée tout près de la Grand-Place de Mons en ouverture du projet culturel "Mons 2015, Capitale européenne de la Culture" a été entièrement démontée à partir du 12 avril 2021.
"Pour l'artiste, le vide créé par l'oeuvre une fois enlevée fait partie intégrante de sa démarche artistique", a indiqué la Fondation Mons 2025. "Le vide est comme un point de départ d'une nouvelle façon de penser à la manière de rendre nos espaces publics plus diversifiés". Comme annoncé lors de sa conception, les composants de "The Passenger" seront recyclés: le bois utilisé dans la structure sera transformé en pâte à papier et les vis seront récupérées.
The structure, 80 meters long and 16 meters high, is made up of some 35,000 wooden planks of all colors.
The ephemeral monumental work of Arne Quinze "The Passenger", erected near the Grand-Place in Mons at the opening of the cultural project "Mons 2015, European Capital of Culture" has been completely dismantled from April 12, 2021.
"For the artist, the void created by the work once removed is an integral part of his artistic approach," said the Mons 2025 Foundation. "The void is like a starting point for a new way of thinking about the way of making our public spaces more diversified ". As announced during its design, the components of "The Passenger" will be recycled: the wood used in the structure will be transformed into paper pulp and the screws will be recovered.
The beauty here arises from the interplay of perfectly normal physical and biological processes:
Sunlight is scattered by the moist morning air. Tiny water droplets in the mist primarily deflect the short-wavelength components of the light, while warm, yellow-gold light remains dominant. This creates the soft rays and the warm color palette. At the same time, leaves, grass, and water absorb and reflect light differently, creating contrasts and depth.
Our brains perceive this as "beautiful" because they have an evolutionarily positive response to patterns such as smooth transitions, natural symmetries, and color harmonies—for millions of years, these signaled safe, life-friendly environments.
In short: Physics shapes the light, biology shapes the landscape, and our brains create beauty from it.
Unser Gehirn schafft Schönheit
Die Schönheit entsteht hier aus dem Zusammenspiel ganz normaler physikalischer und biologischer Prozesse:
Das Sonnenlicht wird durch die feuchte Morgenluft gestreut. Winzige Wassertröpfchen im Nebel lenken vor allem die kurzwelligen Anteile des Lichts um, während warmes, gelb-goldenes Licht dominanter bleibt. Dadurch entstehen die weichen Strahlen und die warme Farbpalette. Gleichzeitig absorbieren und reflektieren Blätter, Gras und Wasser Licht unterschiedlich, was Kontraste und Tiefe erzeugt.
Unser Gehirn empfindet das als „schön“, weil es auf Muster wie sanfte Übergänge, natürliche Symmetrien und Farbharmonien evolutionär positiv reagiert – sie signalisierten über Millionen Jahre hinweg sichere, lebensfreundliche Umgebungen.
Kurz gesagt: Physik formt das Licht, Biologie formt die Landschaft, und unser Gehirn macht daraus Schönheit.

Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai
Perhaps one of my earliest childhood memories, is my older brother playing this very song. It was many....many years later I heard this on the radio, bringing everything flooding back. I've been a massive JK fan ever since!
Dwelling on this song, the huge strides that have been made technologically since this song was released and in such a short time is actually quite staggering...mabye in the near future we'll all be living in virtual insanity.

1958 VW pick up spent most of her life on a farm in Oklahoma. Over the last 4 years the truck has undergone a total nut and bolt restoration and has been re-engineered to introduce modern components. The Rolls Royce Viper 535 jet engine is from a fighter jet with an afterburner added to produce a maximum power output of 5000 lbs of thrust which can be roughly translated to 5000 BHP.

World's first steam powered clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
In memory of Raymond Saunders who sadly passed away - November 24, 2024

The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.

I hadn't appreciated how striking some of the architectural components are at City Beach until this most recent visit.
In this image the white cloud adds an extra dimension
The lines are bold reflect a bow of a boat in these shots. The stark contrast of the blue sky, aqua water and pure white building and boldness. I also like the little "white caps" on the waves indicating the afternoon sea breeze is in.
In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.

Not many photos focus on the hind end of a hairstreak butterfly, but I think it's fascinating -
"What’s the point? Many Lepidopterans have spots on the upper surface of their wings, spots that look like big, owl eyes that startle predators as the butterfly/moth flies away. A hairstreak’s trickery happens when it’s perched, with wings folded. Its eyespots and antenna-like tails are designed to fool predators into thinking that the butterfly’s head is where its tail is. Hairstreaks even add a behavioral component – a nectaring hairstreak often moves its hindwings up and down, simulating the movement of twitchy antennae. A butterfly that loses a chunk of its hindwing can survive, but a butterfly that loses its head – not so much.
Researcher Dr. Andrei Sourakov at the University of Florida suggested that while birds (and maybe lizards) are fooled by this display, it also provides a good defense against jumping spiders – sharp-eyed ambush hunters that ply the flower tops. Jumping spiders, which usually grab the front end of a butterfly and inject venom into the thorax, attack the hairstreak’s false head and find no torso beneath to inject."

The height of hypocrisy - "Those who supply weapons that kill children cannot teach humanity to Muslims," said Iran's new president Masoud Pezeshkian amid chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel."
Starting in 2022, Iran supplies Russia, which unreasonably attacked Ukraine, with thousands of Shahed drones and components for them. The Russians send these drones at night to sleeping cities and villages. These drones kill Ukrainians. What and whose humanity is he talking about?
Вершина лицемірства - "Ті, хто постачає зброю, яка вбиває дітей, не можуть вчити мусульман гуманності", – сказав новий президент Ірану Масуд Пезешкіан під скандування "Смерть Америці" і "Смерть Ізраїлю".
Починаючи з 2022 року Іран поставляє России, яка безпідставно напала на Україну, тисячі дронів «Шахед» та комплектуючі до них. Росіяни відправляють ці дрони вночі на сплячі міста та села України. Ці дрони вбивають українців. Про яку і чию гуманність він говорить?

In Japanese cuisine, sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓, sushi?) is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes.[1] In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The word sushi itself comes from an outdated grammatical form of a word that is no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "it's sour."
There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし).
