"ice contains no future , just the past, sealed away. As if they're alive, everything in the world is sealed up inside, clear and distinct. Ice can preserve all kinds of things that way- cleanly, clearly. That's the essence of ice, the role it plays."

Your next breath will contain more than 400,000 argon atoms breathed by Gandhi.
....
Argon makes up about 1% of the Earth’s atmosphere.
1% of the Earth's atmosphere means 60 trillion tons of argon.
There are about 3x1019 argon atoms in each breath we take. (That's 30,000,000,000,000,000,000)
From your next breath exhaled - the argon quickly spreads:
By nightfall it is all over the neighborhood,
In a week it is all over the country,
In a year it is spread evenly all over the earth, and
Inhalation one year from now gets at least 15 of them back.
We are rebreathing argon atoms of our and other's breaths.
These argon atoms associate us with the past and future.
The first gasp of every baby born one year ago had argon since breathed by you.
Likewise, the last gasp of all the dying.

The Himalayas contain the third-largest deposit of ice and snow in the world, after Antarctica and the Arctic. The Himalayan range encompasses about 15,000 glaciers, which store about 12,000 km3 (3,000 cubic miles) of fresh water.[16] Its glaciers include the Gangotri and Yamunotri (Uttarakhand) and Khumbu glaciers (Mount Everest region), Langtang glacier (Langtang region) and Zemu (Sikkim).
Owing to the mountains' latitude near the Tropic of Cancer, the permanent snow line is among the highest in the world at typically around 5,500 metres (18,000 ft). In contrast, equatorial mountains in New Guinea, the Rwenzoris and Colombia have a snow line some 900 metres (2,950 ft) lower. The higher regions of the Himalayas are snowbound throughout the year, in spite of their proximity to the tropics, and they form the sources of several large perennial rivers, most of which combine into two large river systems:
The western rivers, of which the Indus is the largest, combine into the Indus Basin.
The Indus begins in Tibet at the confluence of Sengge and Gar rivers and flows southwest through India and then through Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. It is fed by the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, and the Sutlej rivers, among others.
Most of the other Himalayan rivers drain the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin. Its main rivers are the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Yamuna, as well as other tributaries. The Brahmaputra originates as the Yarlung Tsangpo River in western Tibet, and flows east through Tibet and west through the plains of Assam. The Ganges and the Brahmaputra meet in Bangladesh, and drain into the Bay of Bengal through the world's largest river delta, the Sunderbans.

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, Mexican asteror cosmea, is a medium-sized flowering herbaceous plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Americas. The species and its varieties and cultivars are popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens. Cosmos bipinnatus is an annual that is often considered half-hardy, although plants may reappear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from 0.61–1.83–2.74 m. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. The branched stem is usually densely to occasionally occupied by fine, split up, rough trichomes, but some specimens are completely hairless. The petiole itself is inconspicuous, winged, 10 (rarely to 15) mm long, and sometimes the leaves are almost sessile. The very conspicuous cup-shaped inflorescences have a diameter of usually 5–7 cm and contain tongue and tubular flowers, which are surrounded by bracts. There are usually 8 outer bracts, and they are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7-15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8-12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes with yellowish or pink pigments, the tip is ciliate. The sprout leaves have gold-yellow, thread-like tips and protrude between the tubular flowers. The broadened base of these spreader leaves is translucent, with a yellow line. The mostly eight ray florets are pink to violet or white colored, at the base may show noticeable stains caused by anthocyanin. The tongues are reversely ovate shaped, have a length of usually 20-35 mm and a width of usually 12-20 mm. The tips are almost dull and have three broad, wavy teeth. Below that, they are greatly rejuvenated. In the center of the flower baskets is a large number of tubular flowers (also called disc florets), whose overgrown petals are yellow, turn white in the lower part and reach a length of 5-6 mm. The anthers are brownish-black and about 3 mm long, at the tips are short-triangular, translucent attachments with a length of 0.5-0.8 mm. The branches of the stylus are short and rather dull, with a length of 0.5 mm.
l came across this really ancient shot a couple of days ago...l know it's not one of my better shots, but what it contains might interest you, (or not as the case maybe.).....Where the Llyn Ogwen empties out under the A5 road, there's a well hidden bridge that was constructed by the Romans and is now currently protected by the "modern day" bridge which goes over it, as can be seen in this shot........Not a lot of people know that.
And "Hats off" to the people who decided to keep and conserve the old Roman bridge...Brilliant.
The plant contains cardiac glycosides, allied to digitalins used in treating some heart disease. These glycosides, when absorbed by monarch butterfly larvae whose sole source of food is milkweed foliage, make the larvae and adult butterflies toxic to birds and other predators.

In dark realms lives a bride, in eternal lament. Her name, a whisper in the shadows beyond, echoes in the night, in tones no one can contain. Her veil of stars hides glimmers, a cold shine of lunar winter. Her eyes, windows to an endless abyss, where lost souls meet their end. She walks serenely, a specter in the dark, in search of Hades, her purest destiny. In the garden of the dead, among the flowers of pain, she is the shadow, the guardian of love. Through the flames of an infernal realm, she dances, ethereal, in a spectral ballet. Her heart beats, in a rhythm of sorrow, a somber melody that never ceases to play. Thus, in eternity, she chose to love, the one who reigns where light cannot reach. The bride of Hades, in her celestial veil, is the queen of the underworld, in immortal love.

Container Terminal HAMBURG
Heute verfügt der Hamburger Hafen über vier moderne Containerterminals. Außerdem gibt es sogenannte Universalterminals, die sowohl Container als auch konventionelle Stückgüter und Fahrzeuge umschlagen können. Als erste Umschlaganlage wurde 1967 der Burchardkai zum Containerterminal ausgebaut. Die erste Containerbrücke konnte damals 12 bis 18 Container in der Stunde umschlagen, die modernen Containerbrücken von heute schaffen unter Umständen mehr als doppelt so viel. Sie können mit einem Hub zwei 40-Fuß-Container oder vier 20-Fuß-Container mit zusammen 110 Tonnen bewegen, das entspricht dem Gewicht von 70 Mittelklassewagen. 30 dieser Giganten stehen allein am HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai, die Hälfte davon sind sogenannte Megaship-Brücken. Mit ihnen können die größten Containerschiffe der Welt be- und entladen werden. Ihre 74 Meter langen Ausleger überspannen Containerschiffe mit einer Breite von fast 60 Metern und bis zu 24 Containerreihen nebeneinander.
The viola is a large family containing 500 species, they are on record in Greece from the 4th century B.C.
Later in Europe, it was discovered that a plant similar to a viola grew in open areas.
The plant found mostly in fields and amongst rocks in the Alps, hence Alpine.
It became known as a wild pansy (French:pensÈe).
It might have been a romantic Frenchman who 'named' it...
A pensÈe can be a thought or a saying, short or it can be as long as a paragraph, a page, a poem!
Maybe he thought of his loved-one, dried one amongst some book he carried?
Juste une pensÈe... lol.
These delicately fragrant flowers come in a wonderful variety of colours.
The dark centres in some flowers are thought to resemble little faces.
These are a smaller variety (a flower not much bigger than my thumbnail!), that I have in the garden, I could not resist photographing them in the studio...

Rapeseed, also known as rape, or oilseed rape, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae, cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of erucic acid. Canola are a group of rapeseed cultivars which were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.
The jumping spider family (Salticidae) contains more than 5800 described species and is the largest family of spiders. Most jumping spiders can jump several times the length of their bodies. When a jumping spider is moving from place to place, and especially just before it jumps, it makes a filament of silk (or 'dragline') to whatever it is standing on to protect itself if the jump should fail.

Cette statue contemporaine en bronze représente un personnage populaire qu’on pouvait croiser naguère dans les rues de Verviers. Il s’agissait d’une sorte de représentant de commerce qui allait proposer sa marchandise chez les lainiers. Il transportait et présentait ses échantillons de laines (venus d’Argentine, du Chili, d’Australie et d’Afrique du Sud) contenus dans des cylindres de papier bleu. Vers 1950, ces marchands étaient encore près de 200 à Verviers. Il y avait tellement de filatures à visiter qu’il fallait une semaine pour en faire le tour. Le sens premier de l’expression « ploquettes » se rapporte aux déchets provenant des loups-cardes c’est-à-dire des premières machines à épurer les laines brutes fort chargées de matières végétales et autres impuretés qui devaient être carboniséesavant leur réintroduction dans la fabrication. Les fameux cylindres de papier bleu pouvaient contenir des ploquettes mais très souvent il s’agissait d’échantillons de laine pure. Cette statue de Louis-Pierre Wagelmans symbolise donc l’éclat de l’industrie florissante de la laine à Verviers.
This contemporary bronze statue represents a popular character that could once be seen in the streets of Verviers. He was a sort of sales representative who was going to sell his wares to the woolen companies. He carried and displayed his wool samples (from Argentina, Chile, Australia and South Africa) contained in cylinders of blue paper. Around 1950, there were still nearly 200 of these merchants in Verviers. There were so many spinning mills to visit that it took a week to tour them. The primary meaning of the expression "ploquettes" relates to the waste coming from the wolves, that is to say from the first machines to purify the raw wools heavily loaded with vegetable matter and other impurities which had to be carbonized before their reintroduction in the manufacturing. The famous blue paper cylinders might contain small flakes, but very often they were samples of pure wool. This statue of Louis-Pierre Wagelmans therefore symbolizes the brilliance of the flourishing wool industry in Verviers.
The Den Burg General Cemetery on Texel contains a war plot with 167 war graves of Allied servicemen, primarily airmen who crashed over the island during World War II. Among them are 44 unknown soldiers. The plot, recognizable by the white Cross of Sacrifice of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, is an important place of remembrance. At the entrance stands the 1940–1945 War Memorial with a bronze Good Shepherd, and in 1975, survivors of the Georgian Uprising donated a Tree of Life in tribute. The plot is a silent witness to the war and an enduring symbol of international solidarity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Op de algemene begraafplaats van Den Burg op Texel ligt een ereveld met 167 oorlogsgraven van geallieerde militairen, vooral vliegeniers die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog boven het eiland zijn neergestort. Onder hen zijn ook 44 onbekenden. Het veld, herkenbaar aan het witte offerkruis van de Commonwealth War Graves Commission, vormt een belangrijke plek van herdenking. Voor de ingang staat het oorlogsmonument 1940–1945 met een bronzen Goede Herder, en in 1975 schonken overlevenden van de Georgische opstand een levensboom als eerbetoon. Het ereveld is een stille getuige van de oorlog en een blijvend symbool van internationale solidariteit.

The Barnacle Goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species.
The Barnacle Goose is a medium-sized goose, 55 - 70 cm long, with a wingspan of 130 - 145 cm and a weight of 1.2 - 2.2 kg. It has a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on it. It flies in packs and long lines, with a noisy chorus of barking or yapping sounds.
Barnacle geese feed on grasses and coastal plants found in salt marshes, grasslands near river estuaries or tidal mud flats.
The wintering population (130.000 birds) in the Netherlands breeds in Arctic Russia and the Baltic.
This picture was taken at the Lauwersmeer, a man-made lake in the north of the Netherlands, on the border of the provinces of Groningen and Friesland. The lake was formed on 1969, when the dike between the bay called Lauwerssea" and the Waddensea was closed. The Lauwersmeer is now one of the famoust birding areas in Western Europe. The area is famous for the huge numbers of birds. During the winter months the Lauwersmeer is famous for the huge numbers of geese. You will see thousands of Barnacle Geese, White Fronted Geese, Greylag Geese and also good numbers of Bean Geese, Brant, Tundra Swan and Whooper Swan.
De brandgans (Branta leucopsis) is een sterke ongeveer 60 cm grote gans, die weinig of geen last ondervindt van vriesweer, met geelachtige witte kop, waarvan de achterzijde zwart is, met een zwarte nek en bovenborst. Als deze gans tijdens de winter aan de Nederlandse kust opduikt, worden ze al vlug verraden door het wit van hun wangen dat fel afsteekt op het zwart van de kop en hals.
Hun broedgebied is het noordelijk deel van de Atlantische Oceaan, van de oostkust van Groenland tot Spitsbergen en het zuiden van Nova Zembla. Het wintergebied bevindt zich vooral aan de kusten van Ierland, de westkust van Schotland en de Noordzeekust van Duitsland en Nederland.
De Nederlandse overwinteraars komen vooral van Nova Zembla.
De laatste jaren blijven grote groepen brandganzen in Nederland en zijn dus het hele jaar door op Nederlandse graslanden te vinden.
Deze foto is genomen bij het Lauwersmeer, op de grens van Groningen en Friesland bij de Waddenzee. Jaarlijks met meer dan 100.000 vogels een van de grootste en belangrijkste overwinterengebieden voor brandganzen in Nederland.

Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily "Hesperioidea") and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily "Hedyloidea"). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, which was about 56 million years ago.

Phra Chedi Rai - Outside the Phra Rabiang cloisters are dotted many smaller chedis, called Phra Chedi Rai. Seventy-one of these small chedis were built by Rama III, each five metres in height. There are also four groups of five chedis that shared a single base built by Rama I, one on each corner outside the cloister. The 71 chedis of smaller size contain the ashes of the royal family, and 20 slightly larger ones clustered in groups of five contain the relics of Buddha.
Part of the Northamerican nebula, this formation contains a part of relatively dense nebulosity in the shape of a flying bird that is commonly referred as the cygnus wall. As part of the bigger Northamerican nebula, the dark area on top represents the gulf of Mexico, and I like the idea that in the right edge of the wall is where Yucatán and Guatemala are chilling :)

Cleveland’s Lakeview Cemetery contains over 100,000 graves, including those of presidents and business moguls. However, its most striking grave marker may be the unsettling statue known as Haserot’s Angel.
Actually named “The Angel of Death Victorious,” the stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. The life-size bronze holds an extinguished torch upside-down, a symbol of life extinguished. Her wings are outstretched and she gazes straight ahead.
The statue’s most striking feature, however, is how death’s guardian appears to be weeping black tears, which pour from her eyes and drip down her neck. These “tears” formed over time, an effect of the aging bronze combined with the impressive sculpting work of the piece itself. As a result, she is often referred to as the Weeping Angel.
The beautiful Church of St Mary and All Saints at Fotheringhay in Northamptonshire is noted for containing a mausoleum to leading members of the Yorkist dynasty of the Wars of the Roses.
The work on the present church, which sits on a slight hill overlooking the River Nene, was begun by Edward III who also built a college as a cloister on the church's southern side. After completion in around 1430, a parish church of similar style was added to the western end of the collegiate church with work beginning in 1434. It is the parish church which still remains.
The present Grade I-listed church is named in honour of St Mary and All Saints, and has a distinctive tall tower dominating the local skyline. The church is Perpendicular in style and although only the nave, aisles and octagonal tower remain of the original building it is still in the best style of its period. I particularly like the delicate flying buttresses. The church is regarded by Simon Jenkins as one of England's Thousand Best Churches.
The chancel was pulled down after the college was dissolved in 1553 following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A grammar school was founded in its place which lasted until 1859.

The Parish Church of Saint Wulfram
The market town of Grantham is situated in the district of South Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire. It is located on the A1 and East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. It lies 23 miles south of the city of Lincoln and 22 miles east from the city of Nottingham.
Probably the main local landmark is the parish church of St Wulfram's, which is the third tallest church in England at 282ft, after St Walburgh in Preston, Lancashire and St James' Church in Louth, also in Lincolnshire.
The oldest part of the church is some Norman pillars in the eastern nave from an earlier cruciform church. The lady chapel and the crypt below it are from the 14th century. On the upper floor of the early 13th century south porch is an Elizabethan chained-library with books bequeathed by Francis Trigge, a local puritan clergyman, the library was founded in 1598 and is claimed to be the first public reference library in England.
The chancel contains a large and elaborate Reredos by Sir Arthur Bloomfield in 1883, which was enlarged by Sir Walter Tapper in 1901 when he added the outer border.
The west tower and spire, built between 1280 and 1300, have been described by many historians as the most perfect medieval steeple in England.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Storkyrkan (lit. 'The Great Church'), also called Stockholms domkyrka (Stockholm Cathedral) and Sankt Nikolai kyrka (Church of Saint Nicholas), is the oldest church in Stockholm. Storkyrkan lies in the centre of Stockholm in Gamla stan, between Stockholm Palace and Stortorget, the old main square of Stockholm. It was consecrated to Saint Nicholas in 1306 but construction of the church probably started in the 13th century. Inside, Storkyrkan still maintains much of its late medieval appearance in the form of a hall church with a vaulted ceiling supported by brick pillars. The exterior of the church is however uniformly Baroque in appearance, the result of extensive changes made in the 18th century. The church played an important role during the Reformation in Sweden as the place where Mass was celebrated in Swedish for the first time. It currently serves as the seat of the Bishop of Stockholm within the Church of Sweden since the creation of the Diocese of Stockholm in 1942.
Storkyrkan was for a long time the only parish church of Stockholm, and from an early date it was connected with the Swedish royal family. It has been the scene of historical events on numerous occasions, and was used as a coronation church for centuries. More recently, the wedding between Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling took place in the church in 2010. Military victories as well as national tragedies have been commemorated in Storkyrkan, and it is still used for funerals of public figures such as the writers Astrid Lindgren and Sara Danius.
The church contains several important works of art as well as elaborate furnishings, among these a late medieval sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon and Vädersolstavlan, a painting which shows one of the earliest images of Stockholm.
