Built for durability versus beauty, the old fog alert station beneath the Golden Gate Bridge has stood stoically guarding the entrance to the San Francisco Bay since the 19th century. Still, there is a certain Sheng Fui about it me thinks--as the old stone building has gradually become one with its surrounding environment.

This ball lasted over 13 years and survived many catches, throws and the occasional chews. Had to place it in the snow in memory of my best friend, who loved trying to find it in the winter, especially.
The qualities that I think get underestimated quite often are durability and tenacity and a willingness to just keep at it. Time spent behind the camera is just phenomenally important.

Bristlecone pines (Pinus aristata), the most durable living entities on this planet, are known to have achieved lifespans of several thousand years. A native of the American Rocky Mountains, these conifers are found at elevations which exceed 8,000 feet and are often found right at the timberline,11,500 feet. Colorado contains the most easterly found environments for bristlecone pines in the United States.
This is taken on Mount Evans Scenic and Historic Byway, the highest paved road in North America, a grove of remarkable trees whose gnarled trunks and knotty branches have stood here since the Roman Empire ended some 1,500 years ago. These trees are known for their ability to survive in very harsh conditions for a very long time; the oldest known specimen, which is located near Craig, is believed to be at least 2,461 years old.

Chuckwagon on display in the Old Town San Diego State Historical Park in the City of San Diego in the San Diego County in the State of California U.S.A.
While some form of mobile kitchens had existed for generations, the invention of the chuckwagon is attributed to Charles Goodnight, a Texas rancher known as the "father of the Texas Panhandle," who introduced the concept in 1866. After the American Civil War, the beef market in Texas expanded. Some cattlemen herded cattle in parts of the country that did not have railroads, requiring them to be fed on the road for months at a time. Goodnight modified a Studebaker manufactured covered wagon, a durable Civil War army-surplus wagon, to suit the needs of cowboys driving cattle from Texas to sell in New Mexico. He added a "chuck box" to the back of the wagon, with drawers and shelves for storage space and a hinged lid to provide a flat working surface. A water barrel was also attached to the wagon and canvas was hung underneath to carry firewood. A wagon box was used to store cooking supplies and cowboys' personal items.

Renault 4
(Poznat i kao "Četvroka", "Katrica", "Mali div", "Kada"...)
-----
This French-made car was popular in the former Yugoslavia due to low running costs, simplicity, durability and practicality. It had comfortable suspension and relatively high ground clearance, so it could be driven on bad and unpaved roads. Thanks to the local advertisement, but also to its general characteristics in real life, Renault 4 was nicknamed "Little Giant". It was a favorite car in many Croatian coastal places with narrow streets and passages.

The Upgraded B6 Switcher: A Durable “Yard Goat”
Built: 1916 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Juniata Shops, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1957
The addition of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s signature Belpaire firebox, superheaters and power reverse lever made this B6sb switcher one of the most modern, powerful, and efficient 0-6-0’s anywhere. The B6 class as a whole was the most successful of what the Pennsylvania Railroad called their “shifters.” Like most switching engines, No. 1670 led a career of little excitement, but great importance.
Scuttling back and forth, this little “yard goat” spent most of its life breaking down and making up new trains. Its sloped-back tender gave good visibility to the rear – an important feature on a locomotive that would spend half of its life in reverse.
The No. 1670 is one of two surviving Pennsylvania Railroad B6 locomotives and the only B6sb.
C'est le plus ancien monument de la ville, construit à l'emplacement présumé d'un site romain. Déjà mentionné en l'an 1000, l'avant-corps donnant sur la place date de cette époque. La partie supérieure avec les tourelles a été ajoutée ultérieurement. Admirez donc le narthex et le chœur, ornés de très belles sculptures. La nef et l'abside, datant du XIIe siècle, sont de style roman. L'intérieur a été rénové entre 1886 et 1916 par l'architecte Pierre Cuypers, célèbre pour le Rijksmuseum à Amsterdam. Cuypers a restauré la tour Barbara et la tour nord du chœur, revenant sur des modifications effectuées au XIIIe siècle. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'église fut épargnée par les bombardements, bien que les Allemands aient dérobé la cloche en 1943.
Dans la pénombre mystique de cette basilique, se dévoilent des œuvres d'art et des fresques médiévales remarquables. La chapelle abrite une statue de Marie, réputée pour ses pouvoirs de guérison, attirant de nombreux pèlerins. Le trésor, accessible moyennant un supplément, abrite une incroyable collection d'argent, d'or et d'autres objets précieux.
Pour apprécier pleinement la splendeur de la basilique, n'oubliez pas de mettre une pièce pour éclairer la sublime abside. La basilique a été consacrée par le pape Pie XI, ajoutant à son prestige. La chapelle gothique et mystique, en particulier, laisse une impression durable sur les visiteurs. En période d'examens, il n'est pas rare que les cierges soient épuisés, signe de la dévotion des étudiants.
This is the city's oldest monument, built on the presumed site of a Roman settlement. Already mentioned in the year 1000, the avant-corps overlooking the square dates from this period. The upper part with the turrets was added later. Admire the narthex and the choir, adorned with beautiful sculptures. The nave and apse, dating from the 12th century, are in the Romanesque style. The interior was renovated between 1886 and 1916 by the architect Pierre Cuypers, famous for the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Cuypers restored the Barbara Tower and the north choir tower, reversing modifications made in the 13th century. During World War II, the church was spared from bombing, although the Germans stole the bell in 1943.
In the mystical darkness of this basilica, remarkable works of art and medieval frescoes are revealed. The chapel houses a statue of Mary, renowned for her healing powers, attracting many pilgrims. The treasury, accessible for an additional fee, houses an incredible collection of silver, gold, and other precious objects.
To fully appreciate the splendor of the basilica, be sure to include a coin to illuminate the sublime apse. The basilica was consecrated by Pope Pius XI, adding to its prestige. The Gothic and mystical chapel, in particular, leaves a lasting impression on visitors. During exam periods, it is not uncommon for the candles to burn out, a sign of the students' devotion.
Always wore these jeans since I was a kid. Always found them comfortable and durable... Wish you a warm and wonderful day...
It is no secret how durable and long lasting EMD locomotive are, in particular the GP38-2 and SD40-2 series. I kidnapped my dad yesterday, took him out to lunch, and of course stropped by the train yard afterward to see what was going on.
Sitting on the service track in Provo was an SD40N. It had just arrived from service on the weekday only LUL41 local that plies the rails of the Provo Sub main, the Tintic, and Provo Industrial Lead.
When I arrived at home I pulled up the archive to see if I had shot UP 1696. Surprisingly, nothing to show. After a quick internet search, I discovered the "snoot" was built UP 3432 by EMD in April 1978.
One more search revealed I had not photographed 3432 either, but Doug Harrop had. It was assigned to lead a Rio Grande detour train, specifically hot intermodal train 100 east out of Ogden. Mr. Harrop got a great photo as UP 3432 passed through the CTC crossovers at Strawberry, a few miles east of Ogden on June 22, 1983.
Le Cyclamen, symbole d'amour sincère et durable
Selon une des nombreuses légendes qui entourent cette fleur délicate, le roi Salomon portait une cou-ronne de boutons de cyclamens. Mais lorsque les Juifs furent déportés à Babylone, les fleurs se cour-bèrent en disant : « Quand un fils de David montera à nouveau sur le trône et que la couronne reviendra à Jérusalem, nous relèverons la tête. » Dans l’Antiquité et au Moyen Âge, cette plante tubéreuse était supposée faciliter les accouchements, et plusieurs superstitions l’accusaient aussi de provoquer des fausses couches. Depuis la Renaissance, cette fleur gracieuse, modeste-ment penchée en avant, est aussi devenue un symbole d’amour sincère et durable.
De nos jours, elle incarne au Japon le sentiment amoureux par excellence, exactement comme la rose en Occident. Graphique, dotée de pétales mauves ou blancs qui se détachent joliment sur d’épaisses feuilles sombres, le cyclamen a aussi beaucoup inspiré les artistes. Dans les scènes religieuses, les peintres flamands en dessinaient pour représenter l’amour durable du Christ. Léonard de Vinci parsemait également les marges de ses manuscrits de ses corolles.
The Cyclamen, a symbol of sincere and lasting love
According to one of the many legends surrounding this delicate flower, King Solomon wore a crown of cyclamen buds. But when the Jews were deported to Babylon, the flowers bowed, saying, "When a son of David ascends the throne again and the crown returns to Jerusalem, we will lift up our heads." In ancient times and in the Middle Ages, this tuberous plant was believed to facilitate childbirth, and several superstitions also accused it of causing miscarriages. Since the Renaissance, this graceful flower, modestly leaning forward, has also become a symbol of sincere and enduring love.
Nowadays, it embodies the quintessential love feeling in Japan, just like the rose in the West. Graphic, with purple or white petals that stand out nicely against thick dark leaves, cyclamen has also been a great inspiration to artists. In religious scenes, Flemish painters drew them to represent the enduring love of Christ. Leonardo da Vinci also dotted the margins of his manuscripts with his corollas.

The Plymouth Valiant (first appearing in 1960 as simply the
Valiant) is an automobile which was manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation in the United States from 1960 to 1976. It was created to give the company an entry in the compact car market emerging in the late 1950s. The Valiant was also built and marketed, without the Plymouth name, worldwide in countries including Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland, as well as other countries in South America and Western Europe. It became well known for its excellent durability and reliability, and was one of Chrysler's best-selling automobiles during the 1960s and 1970s, essentially keeping the company afloat during its hard economic times.
Road & Track magazine considered the Valiant to be "one of the best all-around domestic cars"

The "Lock Step" ( The Rockefeller Foundation ) outlines a scenario of authoritarian control in the wake of a hypothetical novel influenza pandemic similar to COVID-19.(anno 2010)
Lock Step = Een Corona-scenario voor ‘authoritarian leadership’ in reactie op een pandemie, dat de Rockefeller Foundation in 2010 bedacht. De Rockefeller Foundation lanceerde met The Lancet (Elsevier) ook al de nieuwe discipline van globalistisch doktertje spelen genaamd ‘Planetary Health’: alsof ‘het klimaat’ ons allemaal ziek zou maken, zoals via de Klimaatobsessierups. Hun doktersrecept is altijd meer ‘global governance’ en ‘interdependence’, centralisatie van macht. Dat is het zelfde recept dat het World Economic Forum ons nu ook voorschrijft uit naam van ‘Corona’. Wat de klimaatlobby decennia kostte, dat lukt nu via Lockdown in een handomdraai. We concluderen daarom: Samen zweren is pas fijn!

Researcher and author Niki Friedrich Raapana accidentally stumbled into a pilot programme of the UN's ultimate agenda back in 1999, in Seattle. In her search for answers she found that the consortium of players, stakeholders and prime movers had one thing in common: jargon !
e.g. 'Sustainable Development' is a term we are all familiar with by now and there are many others. Tracing the terminology she was able to find an entire system which had infiltrated our governments and was rewriting state policies and objectives. The European Union was founded upon these principles. Anyone notice what happened to the once nation states that make up the EU? (They're all dead.)
Tracing the terminology to find an entire system which had infiltrated our governments and was rewriting state policies and objectives. Civil and individual rights and freedoms are abolished and the life becomes micromanaged.

Jan Theuninck has been painting the evolution of Western totalitarianism for 20 years - he saw the evolution within the political spectrum where the socialist parties were lost (Fagospatose, 2001) in the Third Way (The third way is no way, 2004) movement of Clinton , Blair and Schröder with which they gave a face to communitarianism of the New World Order. He has often compared the latter to a new kind of National Socialism. His attention has always been fixed thanks to the more than 50 years of misery with blackmail games of the services and torture practices with chemical and energy weapons (Beyond the limit, 2001, Rinascimento, 2009, The culture of learned helplessness, 2011, Neostasi, 2012, Derailed system , 2012, The banality of Evil, 2013, Zersetzung, 2014, ils nous tiennent, 2015, Submission, 2015, Threat, 2016, Utopia, 2016, Conformity, 2017, Brainwashing, 2018, Warnung, 2019, Dein Kampf, 2019, Censorship, 2020, Post-truth society, 2020 and in 2021: Political Pandemic, New World Order, The Great Reset, Angel Vaccine, Aryan Corona Passport, Cytokine Storm, Back from never been away, Sustainable Dictatorship.

The Republic P-47D Thunderbolt, nicknamed “Jug,” was one of the most powerful and heavily armed fighter aircraft of World War II. Powered by a robust Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, it excelled as both a high-altitude escort fighter and a ground-attack aircraft. Known for its durability and ability to absorb heavy damage, the P-47D played a crucial role in the Allied air campaigns in Europe and the Pacific.

Un nouveau et beau quartier de Heerlen : le Maankwartier. Avec ce projet spécial, Heerlen doit retrouver son âme. C'est en tout cas la démarche du plasticien et designer du Maankwartier Michel Huisman. Le projet a été baptisé « Maankwartier » car, selon l'artiste, les choses allaient si mal pour la ville que dans les périodes sombres, la lumière ne pouvait venir que de la lune. Aussi sombre que soit la situation décrite par l'artiste, le Maankwartier est tout aussi dynamique quand on y jette un coup d'œil.
L'architecture des bâtiments du Maankwartier fait référence à l'ancienne industrie minière de Heerlen et de ses environs. Et l'ancienne industrie minière se reflète également dans le projet d'une autre manière particulière : l'ensemble du Maankwartier est relié à l'eau de mine des anciennes mines. "C'est un beau projet, où l'aspect industriel se reflète non seulement dans la conception, mais aussi dans l'utilisation de l'eau de mine", déclare avec enthousiasme Sjoerd Parren, chef de projet chez Mijnwater BV. Mijnwater veillera à ce que les maisons, les magasins, bureaux et L'hôtel du Maankwartier est chauffé et refroidi et l'eau chaude du robinet est fournie. Une grande attention a déjà été accordée au concept d’eau de mine dans les précédentes Enervisions. Un petit rappel : grâce au concept innovant d'eau de mine, l'eau résiduelle des anciens réservoirs souterrains d'eau de mine est utilisée pour chauffer et refroidir de nombreux bâtiments de la région. Les tunnels de la mine se trouvent à des profondeurs différentes, de sorte que l'eau dans ces tunnels a des températures différentes. L’eau des couloirs inférieurs est utilisée pour le chauffage et celle des couloirs supérieurs pour le refroidissement. Mijnwater contribue ainsi à rendre le Maankwartier plus durable. En plus de l'utilisation des eaux de mine, l'ensemble du Maankwartier est construit selon les principes de la construction durable. L’objectif est de réduire considérablement les pertes d’énergie. En outre, une attention particulière est accordée à la réutilisation locale du chaud et du froid.
A new and beautiful district of Heerlen: the Maankwartier. With this special project, Heerlen must find its soul. In any case, this is the approach of visual artist and Maankwartier designer Michel Huisman. The project was named “Maankwartier” because, according to the artist, things were so bad for the city that in dark times light could only come from the moon. As bleak as the situation the artist describes, the Maankwartier is just as dynamic when you take a look.
The architecture of the buildings in the Maankwartier refers to the former mining industry of Heerlen and its surroundings. And the old mining industry is also reflected in the project in another special way: the entire Maankwartier is connected to the mine water from the old mines. “This is a beautiful project, where the industrial look is reflected not only in the design, but also in the use of mine water,” says Sjoerd Parren, project manager at Mijnwater BV, enthusiastically. Mijnwater will ensure that the Maankwartier's homes, shops, offices and hotel are heated and cooled and hot tap water is supplied. Much attention has already been given to the concept of mine water in previous Enervisions. A quick reminder: thanks to the innovative mine water concept, residual water from old underground mine water tanks is used to heat and cool many buildings in the region. The mine tunnels are at different depths, so the water in these tunnels has different temperatures. Water from the lower corridors is used for heating and that from the upper corridors for cooling. Mijnwater thus contributes to making the Maankwartier more sustainable. In addition to the use of mine water, the entire Maankwartier is built according to the principles of sustainable construction. The aim is to significantly reduce energy losses. In addition, particular attention is paid to the local reuse of hot and cold.

A brick with, for British viewers at least, a familiar name. There is a helpful article, published by the Northern Echo, giving a little history of the brick, made by Stanley Brothers and identifying other users of the "trademark" (a manufacturer of bitumen roofing felt and, from 1929, the London Rubber Company). Warning; the Northern Echo page is hopelessly infected with advertisements, all meaningless.

At the junction of the Korzenna and Na Piaskach streets, you will notice a bridge with beautiful, openwork railing. The railing becomes less and less visible each year because colourful padlocks hanging there cover it. Lovers come there to symbolically make their relationships more durable by hanging a padlock with their initials, important dates or vows of undying love. For the vow to be valid, they have to throw the key to the padlock to the Radunia river flowing beneath the bridge.

An attractive and durable plant, Tradescantia pallida ’Purpurea' (Purple Heart) is a popular trailing evergreen perennial noted for its remarkable foliage of narrow, pointed, purple leaves, 2-5 in. long (5-12 cm). Arranged alternately along thick, but fragile, purple stems, the leaves are deep royal purple above, and bright violet underneath. Blooming constantly during warm weather with small clusters of bright pink, 3-petalled, pale orchid-pink flowers. 1 in. (2.5 cm), emerge at the stem tips. Tradescantia pallida is a tender perennial which makes a beautiful groundcover. Its sprawling stems root in the moist soil, to create a carpet of ground-hugging foliage. Evergreen in frost-free areas, it dies back with mild freezes, but sprouts back in spring. In colder areas, it may be grown as a bedding annual, in a container or hanging basket, or as a houseplant.
