Longhorn Cavern State Park is located in Burnet County, Texas. Between 280 and 300 million years ago, mountain-building forces shifted in an event called the Llano Uplift, which formed faults and fractures in the limestone. Water flowed through the cracks, dissolving limestone and forming Longhorn Cavern. From 1934 to 1942, the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps explored the cavern and made it accessible by removing tons of silt, debris, and guano and by building stairs and walkways both into and inside the cavern. It was dedicated as a state park in 1932 and in 1938 was opened to the public. In 1971, the cavern was dedicated as a National Natural Landmark. Before the cave became a tourist attraction, it was used over the years by Native Americans, Confederate soldiers (who made gun powder from the guano deposits) and outlaws. Cavern temperatures range up to 68F (20C) year-round. The 90-minute tour covers 1.1 miles underground at depths of 40 to 140 feet (12 to 43m).

Águas 6. Dissolução

Lost in the fields of imagination,

drifting amid ideas in eternal movement

in an ever-expanding universe...

But in the end

everything is nothing but illusion...

♩♬ Eumir Deodato - Also Sprach Zarathustra ♩♬

Santa Cruz mountains

now the whole hole-story ...

you can guess it, it's a Tadao Ando and here you can see the opposite direction to Hilde's photo we uploaded a few days ago ...

Ando does what he often does, he combines water with concrete and glass, and combines building parts in a special angle to each other and combines a closed building part with an open building part, which at first still one-sided with roof dissolves later in a wall and roofless row of columns (you will see it later) ...

but the hinge from the closed to the open part of the building, which intersects with the main path, is decisive.

Here he makes a round recess in the roof. which marks the entrance and creates funny light and shadow games all day long ... the circle wanders and gets with the walls and the different substrates, like materials always new aspects ... so simple and easy ... so good ...

Man kann es erraten, es ist ein Tadao Ando und hier sieht man die entgegengesetzte Richtung zu Hildes Foto, das wir vor einigen Tagen hochgeladen haben ...

Ando macht, was er oft macht, er kombiniert Wasser mit Beton und Glas, und kombiniert Gebäudeteile in einem besonderen Winkel zueinander und kombiniert einen geschlossenen Gebäudeteil mit einem offenen Gebäudeteil, das zunächst noch einseitig gefasst, mit Dach, sich nachher in eine wand- und dachlose Stützenreihe auflöst (ihr werdet es später noch sehen) ...

aber entscheidend ist das Gelenk, oder das Schanier vom geschlossenen zum offenen Gebäudeteil das sich mit dem Hauptweg kreuzt. Hier macht er eine runde Aussparung ins Dach, die den Eingang markiert und den ganzen Tag lustige Licht- und Schattenspiele erzeugt ... der Kreis wandert und bekommt mit den Wänden und den verschiedenen Untergründen, wie Materialen, immer neue Aspekte ... so schlicht und einfach ... so gut ...

To be here is to dissolve back into that which you came.

Journey within

Shattering of the veil of illusion

which is merely the basis of your own perception

This journey is not for the faint hearted

With this journey comes the shattering of belief systems

Surrendering to what is

as opposed to how you want things to be

Honour the Goddess within

Allow for her to emerge

Wiser

Stronger

More loving

Sometimes we have to break into tiny pieces to awaken - in other words die to the ego

Fields in the Po-plain near Sale, Provincia Alessandria, Piemont

Feels like something

That I've done before

I could fake it

But I still want more.

These statues are part of an art exhibition in Budapest.

The New World Design for Contemporary Art presents almost 600sqm of the world of the Great War, which can be seen as the epoch that radically changed the world order of the time: the formerly stable empires have dissolved, culture and public thought have changed dramatically. World War II buried the old world, the result of a new world conflagration and then the Cold War. Europe was bleak in the twilight that the 20th century was dominated by America and Russia.

The exhibition takes visitors from happy peace to enthusiasm for war and bitter disappointment. It shows how the civilization of civilized and global warfare was fought, how the 19th century came to a standstill and the hinterland became the battlefield. The nature of war has changed: victory has now become a function of the amount of war material.

Gloucester Cathedral, or the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Undivided Trinity, in Gloucester, England, stands in the north of the city near the river. It originated with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter in 678 or 679 (dissolved by King Henry VIII of England).

Coming to an end of this series...:-)) (almost!!), just remember, as I've mentioned before: I spent more than 4 hours in that fascinating cathedral; think I made about 500-600 pictures....

For Flickr21Chellenge Day4.. what are Donuts MADE from? tee-hee, i dont have any donut pix but wanted to take part and flour is an essential ingredient #fact

Want to see more images or read the blog?

Making donuts at home can be a delightful experience! Here's a basic recipe for classic fried donuts:

Essential Ingredients:

2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water (110°F / 45°C)

3/4 cup lukewarm milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)

Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

For Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, butter, and egg. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.

Knead: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Cut out donuts: Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters to cut out donuts and holes. Place them on a floured surface and let them rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Fry: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry donuts in batches, turning them once, until golden brown (1-2 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

Glaze: Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and let them cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy your homemade donuts! 🍩

"Where The Heart Is"

High above the tallest trees

Courage will come your way

It's the need that burns the trust that shines

When you climb out of the shade

Your high awakes the things you wanna be

Where the air is thin and sweeps you off your feet

Where the heart is

When the light's at your side

When the faith is ready

No more guidance

Take the leap of your life

As the ground is shaking

Shaking off your troubled soul

As silence seems to grow

It's the faith in sight, the doubt that fades

As the world dissolves below

Your high awakes the things you wanna be

Where the air is thin and sweeps you off your feet

Where the heart is

When the light's at your side

When the faith is ready

No more guidance

Take the leap of your life

As the ground is shaking

You are falling to the stars, you are falling

You are falling to the stars, you are falling

You are falling to the stars, you are falling

You are falling to the stars, you are falling

Where the heart is

When the light's at your side

When the faith is ready

No more guidance

Take the leap of your life

As the ground is shaking

The Magpie Inkcaps (Coprinopsis picacea) parading in Silk Wood.

As science of taxonomy developed over last couple centuries, its scientific name has changed from Agaricus (at the beginning almost every fungus with a cap has been place in this genus) to Coprinus (to which many inkcap fungi belongs) and lately to Coprinopsis (meaning resembling Coprinus). However, the specific epithet ‘picacea’ (derived from the Latin name of Eurasian Magpie ‘Pica pica’) was always attached, and reflected in the common name of this spectacular fungus.

The life of inkcap is short. Its gills absorb moisture from the air and the cap dissolving in black liquid to aid spore propagation, the process called deliquescence. Hence the common name for this group, inkcaps, Inky-caps or Ink Caps. There were couple specimens nearby which in an advance stage deliquescence. This species is poisonous, and in young age could be confused with the Shaggy Inkcap (Coprinus comatus) (pictured here www.flickr.com/photos/sergeysmirnov/50548843027) which is edible when young.

The Magpie Inkcaps are solitary and not frequently grow together in large numbers, so it was a delight to see this group. The Magpie Inkcaps are solitary and not frequently grow together in large numbers, so it was a delight to see this group. And the title is inspired by the children’s nursery rhyme about magpies.

Thank you for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.

I quite like the green colours surrounding the grebe in this photo, but , at the same time it is a reminder that many of our once pristine lakes are changing for the worse. Although a lot of the green here is reflection from a oak woodland behind, unfortunately some of it is the water itself. Algae and duckweed can be seen and is a clear indicator of enrichment -“Eutrophication” where the nutrients accumulate in a body of water. This results in an increase of microorganisms causing algal blooms and bacterial growth and depletion of dissolved oxygen etc. with

environmental degradation.

Fertiliser runoff from farming and sewage pollution are the main causes. This change in the water body will affect the whole food chain and this Grebe sits very near the top of this food chain. So , yes I quite like the the effect in this photo but at the same time it is, as I said, for me, a reminder.

Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.

Macro. A macro experiment with the Olympus E-M10 Mark II. Lens Olympus M.40-150mm F4.0-5.6R with a macro lens. f/9.0. 60mm. 1/25 sec. ISO 400. Tripod shot. LED illumination.

I photographed the Torre Velasca from the roof of the Duomo di Milano on a grey morning, with soft light filtering through the overcast sky. The image isolates the tower in color against a black-and-white cityscape, emphasizing its cantilevered top and angled supports. From this elevated vantage point, the contrast between postwar modernism and Milan’s historic architecture becomes even more pronounced.

I captured this scene from an overpass near Bologna Centrale station, across from the signal house with its steel framework spanning the tracks. In the center of the structure a large clock was mounted, clearly visible above the converging rails and electrical lines.

The design of the signal house itself stood out to me, its elevated form and intricate framework contrasting with the dense infrastructure of tracks, wiring, and surrounding urban buildings.

i was one atom my life complete

then the oven went on and i became a layered treat

now i am many atoms broken and bent

from times well spent and times well rent

we look at each other and shake our heads

knowing full well that we have made our own beds

some of us laugh and some of us cry

and we all know why.

soon enough now our atoms will dust

or rust or bust so lets not let them turn to hot ash

instead lets make them food for the angels and song for the last.

Rock in clouds at North Rim of Grand Canyon, Oct 2015

Mt. Tamalpais enveloped by fog

The fog over the bay was pretty amazing here. Everything north of San Rafael was basically invisible. San Francisco is under there somewhere.

The drive up Mt. Tamalpais makes for some very interesting shots for someone willing to deal with the drive. I wish it was possible to take sunrise photos here, but unfortunately the road opens at 7 in the morning.

This particular shot was a multi-part panorama from about 4 RAW files.

I long to take you to a secret place

Where we could lay aside our past

We'd throw the world away with all it's pain

To shine like stars through storm and clouds and rain

(Paramore)

everything dissolves but only almost.

That's how I feel at the deli counter, too. If I don't have a number, I melt in front of the salesperson, even if there's only one other person in front of me and another number doesn't make sense.
