Rosemary Beach is an unincorporated master planned community in Walton County, Florida, United States on the Gulf Coast. Rosemary Beach is developed on land originally part of the older Inlet Beach neighborhood. The town was founded by Patrick D. Bienvenue as President of Leucadia Financial Corporation in 1995, and was designed by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company. The town is around 105 acres (0.42 km2) and upon completion had just over 400 homesites and a mixed use town center with shops, restaurants, and activities. The town is a master-planned community located on a beachside road, CR 30A.
New Urbanist communities, Rosemary Beach is an architectural treasure trove, boasting influences from the West Indies, New Orleans, Charleston and St. Augustine, among others.
The grand homes (many with adjoining carriage houses that are just as extraordinary) are interconnected by a discreet network of pedestrian paths and boardwalks, which become even more charming at night, basked in the soft flicker of gas-lit lanterns.
Like most Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs), the best way to explore Rosemary Beach is on foot (or on a beach cruiser). Wood-plank pathways meander through the town’s striking architecture, often revealing hidden amenities such as playgrounds, bubbling fountains, tennis courts or one of the community’s several cosmopolitan swimming pools.
The Driskill, a Romanesque Revival-style building completed in 1886, is the oldest operating hotel in Austin, and is one of the best-known hotels in Texas generally. In 1934, future President Lyndon Johnson met his future wife, Claudia Taylor (Lady Bird), for their first date at the Driskill dining room. It became his campaign headquarters during his congressional career, especially during his famous 1948 Senate race, and became a favorite place on return trips to Austin during his presidency. He watched the results of the 1964 Presidential Election from its presidential suite and addressed supporters from its ballroom after his victory.
The Driskill is composed of two interconnected buildings; the original four-story building constructed in 1886, and a 13-story annex constructed in 1930. The original building, designed by local Austin architect Jasper N. Preston, was constructed with over six million pressed bricks and white limestone accents. The Driskill was conceived and built by Col. Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who spent his fortune constructing "the finest hotel south of St. Louis.
Today, the Driskill remains one of the premier hotels in Austin, featuring lavish bridal suites, two restaurants, and a grand ballroom. It is considered one of the most haunted hotels in the United States, featuring a variety of alleged supernatural activity throughout the building, including the spirit of Colonel Driskill himself. The Driskill, listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, has been owned and operated by Hyatt since 2013.

Some facts on water....
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank.
Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs — all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs.
Water regulates the Earth’s temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes.
75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water.
A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up in our water.
Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.

PacMutual is a 460,000 s.f. the campus of three interconnected buildings: Sentry Building (1922), Clock Building (1908), and Carriage House (1927) in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. PacMutual is a recognized local landmark and was designated as a City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 398 in 1982.
Bracket fungi, or shelf fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that compose the division Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds. They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms. Some form annual fruiting bodies while others are perennial and grow larger year after year. Bracket fungi are typically tough and sturdy and produce their spores, called basidiospores, within the pores that typically make up the undersurface.

Excerpt from ontariotrails.on.ca:
Terra Cotta Lane is a great way to introduce yourself to this conservation area and is a major access route to some of our other trails. Starting near the parking area, the trail follows an old road along the eastern shore of a pond and eventually loops back to the parking area. Although this trail is a loop, there are a number of one- way arms that allow you access to the Vaughn and McGregor Spring Pond trails. This easy trail is good for nature enthusiasts of all ages. At Terra Cotta, we have created a network of interconnected hiking trails, footpaths and old roadways that will take you to different parts of the conservation area where you can experience a mosaic of natural and cultural settings.

Star of Laufenburg Switzerland.
"In 1958, the German, French and Swiss power networks are interconnected and synchronised at the 220-kilovolt level in Laufenburg for the first time. With this act, the Central European states move closer together. The EGL substation known as the "Star of Laufenburg" marks the start of an integrated European power network. With this step, a cross-border power market is created. In 1967, the 380-kv country networks are interconnected for the first time at this substation in Laufenburg."

From my Archives. The image is taken from a narrow path above one of the cascades.
The National Park is world famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Currently, 16 lakes can be seen from the surface.[3] These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and follow the water flow.
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.

The Broadway Hotel and Coffe Shop / Cafe was built in 1919. The Broadway catered to travelers on the Prescott and Northwestern Railroad which interconnected with the Missouri-Pacific Railroad in Precott. The railroads ceased passenger service in 1945.
The hotel was abandoned for decades. It was purchased by a couple in 2020, who hope to renovate and modernize the old building.
Badlands Valley. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
A small wash passes beneath badlands terrain in morning light, Death Valley National Park.
There is a lot going on in this photograph of the Death Valley National Park landscape. Early morning light is coming from behind and to the left of the camera position and striking the eroded landforms from the side. Although it is sometime after dawn, it is early enough that the light still has a warm, post-sunrise color. All of the complex structures in the scene are interconnected — they all drain toward the desert wash at the bottom of the frame.
More than almost any other landscape that I know, the appearance of the desert changes radically depending on the direction, quality, and color of the light. I have sequences of photographs made over a half-hour period in which the transition is striking. At first, before dawn, the light is soft and blue-toned. At first light it may become intensely colorful if the sunrise cooperates. A half hour later the color fades toward that familiar desert midday harshness.

Rising from the bottom of what was once an ancient lakebed, the Trona Pinnacles represent one of the most unique geologic landscapes in the California Desert. Over 500 of these tufa (or calcium carbonate spires) are spread out over a 14 square mile area across the Searles Lake basin. These features range in size from small-coral like boulders to several that top out at over 140 feet tall.
The Pinnacles were formed between 10,000 and 100,000 years ago when Searles Lake formed a link in a chain of interconnected lakes flowing from the Owens Valley to Death Valley. At one point during the Pleistocene, the area was under 640 feet of water.
Tufa towers are tall columns of calcium carbonate (limestone) that form below lake level through chemical reaction of spring water coming up from the floor of the lake with saline lake water.
Ever since I joined Flickr a couple of years ago I've admired the work of Yoshihiko Wada. His amazing B&W long exposure fine art images inspired me to create this view of The Diamond.
Completed in 2015, The Diamond was built to be the new home for the Department of Engineering at the University of Sheffield. It took two years to build, at a cost of £81 million. The six-floor building takes its name from its unique facade, which comprises a cellular pattern of interconnected diamond shapes made of anodised aluminium, inspired by the form of diamond at a molecular level, over a frame of reinforced concrete and exterior glass cladding.

SIN Pays, or at least it used to. Promotional pin button for the Spanish International Network (now Univision) from around 1976 when the network was seeking carriage on cable systems around the United States. In order to persuade cable operators to carry their Spanish language programming the network paid a small fee for each subscriber on the various cable systems at a time when system operators were paying the various program services for carrying their programming. The promotion worked and SIN achieved fairly wide carriage.
The Spanish International Network was the first satellite interconnected network in the U.S. Followed soon after by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

“Amphibians are highly vulnerable to climate change. Their permeable skin, essential for respiration and water absorption, makes them susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, often leading to dehydration during droughts and heat waves. Their aquatic life stages, especially for frogs, are sensitive to changes in water conditions and precipitation patterns.
Many amphibians have specialized habitats with specific temperature or seasonal requirements that can be disrupted by climate change. Furthermore, they face increased disease risks, such as from the deadly chytrid fungus (Bsal) disease, which thrives in altered climates.” -Mongabay. I found a new healthy respect for the frogs and toads we saw within the park we camped at. Frogs help control the insect population and they are food for other animals further up the chain. Sometimes we forget just how interconnected we all are as animals. Apparently, frog populations are on the decline. This guy had beautiful colouring.

Chapin Parkway is a historic and scenic thoroughfare in Buffalo, New York, renowned as one of the parkways designed by the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (of New York's Central Park fame) and his partner Calvert Vaux in the late 19th century. It is an integral part of their acclaimed interconnected park and parkway system for the city of Buffalo.
Location and Design: The Parkway links Soldiers Circle with Gates Circle. At about 200 feet wide, it was designed as a broad, tree-lined boulevard, featuring a wide central median originally intended for horseback riders and pedestrians, with side roadways for vehicles.
History and Naming: It opened to the public around 1873 and is named after Brigadier General Edward Payson Chapin, a Buffalo attorney and Civil War hero.
Architecture: The area is noted for its beautiful mansions and stately homes, many built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Architectural styles found here include Colonial Revival, Italian Renaissance, and Georgian Revival.
Chapin Parkway is a contributing feature to the Delaware Park System, which is listed as a national historic district.
The Delores Fenwick Nature Center in Pearland, Texas, has two large, interconnected polishing ponds with island roosts that house several species of birds. The recent, record-setting heat wave in Texas has encouraged the growth of algae in the ponds. Algae absorbs oxygen from the water. Fish are deprived of oxygen. Hundreds of large (40-50cm) carp have died, floated to the surface and drifted to the shores. This carnage has attracted hundreds of Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) to the nature center. Here are a few senior fellows that have had their fill. Dining scenes to follow.
Synesthesia is a non-pathological variation of human perception. Synesthetic people automatically and involuntarily experience the activation of an additional sensory or cognitive pathway in response to specific stimuli. For example, they can see a color when they hear a musical note, or perceive touch on their right cheek when they taste food. These perceptions are idiosyncratic, that is, each person perceives colors/smells/sounds and physical sensations, etc. specific and different.
Auditory-visual synesthesia (also known as chromesthesia): The phenomenon through which the sense of sight and hearing, music and colors are interconnected. Far from each song leading to a mental image of a single color, each musical note is associated with a particular key.
I feel like that...
Synesthesia on people:
This type of synesthesia consists of the involuntary association of one or more colors with familiar people. It can be a perception of color without more, or the colors can have texture, shape, three-dimensionality, spatial location and even rhythm or movement.

“The Kerala backwaters are a network of brackish lagoons and canals lying parallel to the Arabian Sea of the Malabar coast of Kerala state in south-western India. It also includes interconnected lakes, rivers, and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways, and sometimes compared to bayous. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both man made and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range. In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises. There are 34 backwaters in Kerala. Out of it, 27 are located either closer to Arabian Sea or parallel to the sea. The remaining 7 are inland navigation routes.
The backwaters have a unique ecosystem: freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea. A barrage has been built near Thanneermukkom, so salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes. Many unique species of aquatic life including crabs, frogs and mudskippers, water birds such as terns, kingfishers, darters and cormorants, and animals such as otters and turtles live in and alongside the backwaters. Palm trees, pandanus shrubs, various leafy plants, and bushes grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green hue to the surrounding landscape.”
Udaipur is popularly known as the ‘City of Lakes’. The city features an interconnected lake system that helps regenerate groundwater and regulates climatic conditions. Udaipur is famous for its lakes; Fateh Sagar Lake, Jaisamand Lake, Pichola Lake, Badi Lake, and Doodh Talai Lake are some of the most well-known.
The Lake Palace, also known as Jag Niwas, on Lake Pichola is now a heritage hotel operated by the Taj Group. It was once the summer palace of the Sisodia rulers. It has been voted as the most romantic hotel in the world and in India.

Excerpt from whc.unesco.org/en/list/98/:
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia's largest national park covering almost 30,000 hectares, is situated in the lower elevations of the Dinarides in the central part of the country. Within a beautiful karst landscape dominated by a mix of forests and meadows, the magnificent Plitvice lake system stands out, fascinating scientists and visitors alike. Interconnected by many waterfalls and watercourses above and below ground, the lakes are grouped into the upper and lower lakes. The former are formed on dolomites, with mild relief, not so steep shores and enclosed by thick forests, whereas the latter, smaller and shallower, are situated in limestone canyon with partially steep shores. The lake system is the result of millennia of ongoing geological and biochemical processes creating natural dams known as tufa barriers. These are formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate from the waters flowing through the property. In the case of the Plitvice lake system, this geochemical process of tufa formation interacts with living organisms, most importantly mosses, algae and aquatic bacteria. The scale of the overall lake system and the natural barriers are an exceptional expression of the aesthetically stunning phenomenon, acknowledged since the late 19th century. Plitvice Lakes National Park area is mainly covered with very well preserved forests essential for the continuity of geochemical processes in water system (above and below ground), which include an area of 84 ha of old-growth forest of beech and fir. Besides the striking landscape beauty and the processes that continue to shape the lakes, the park is also home to noteworthy biodiversity. The tufa barriers themselves provide habitat for diverse and highly specialized communities of non-vascular plants. Brown Bear, Grey Wolf and Lynx along with many rare species roam the forests, while the meadows are known for their rich flora.
Excerpt from www.world-of-waterfalls.com/waterfalls/europe-plitvice-wa...:
The Upper Lakes were more spread out than its Lower Lakes counterpart.
That meant, the lakes and waterfalls seemed to be wider though the falls themselves were shorter.
It also felt that there were more boardwalks to cover this wider area.
As a result, there were several options available to us to figure out how best we could get the most of our visit.
The Plitvice Waterfalls found in the Upper Lakes tended to possess a more subtle and graceful beauty as they tended to be smaller and more spread out than in the Lower Lakes.
The waterfalls towards the top of the Upper Lakes area were mostly of the smaller percolating variety.
However, towards the lower end of the Upper Lakes area, we noticed more significant travertine-like waterfalls that might be as tall as 20m or more.
There was even trails where you could bypass most of the upper waterfalls in the Upper Lakes and “cut to the chase” of the lower section, so to speak.
In the Xi Tauri (Ushakaron) Star System, a mere 210 light years away from the McDonalds in my town, there is a planet that orbits Aldebaran. Scientists and all there fancy, highfalutin astronomy gear have long figured its existence but, have never been able to confirm it. Well, I know a thing or two about outer space and I can tell you that it does exist and it is known by the inhabitants as Blort. Indeed, I know this for sure because... I've been there! Yes! See that apartment balcony, third row from the left, eight from the ground? My good friend, Keegzat, lives there and we often trade secret strategies for dominoes; long, contemplative discussions on the benefits of a secure bitcoin wallet and the tender mercies of preconceived naughtiness when no one is suspecting the neither - a fine trick when nothing is working but the fanbelt.

Speicherstadt is a historic warehouse district located in Hamburg, Germany, renowned for its unique architectural style and rich maritime heritage. Built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it boasts red-brick warehouses interconnected by a network of canals. The district served as a prominent hub for the storage and trade of goods, with a particular focus on coffee, tea, spices, and carpets. Today, Speicherstadt proudly holds the title of the world's largest warehouse district and enjoys UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Early this morning, with my hair still askew, I couldn't resist the urge to visit this iconic site and capture a photograph, despite its already extensive photographic history. Although my picture may not be particularly unique or creative, the allure of Speicherstadt compelled me to document its timeless charm once more – Speicherstadt, Hamburg, Germany

Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s All One Race is a passionate call for unity, a poetic rejection of the divisions that have long defined human history. With clarity and emotional strength, she strips away the superficial barriers of skin color and origin, urging readers to see beyond the surface. The poem moves with simplicity but lands with force—it reminds us that difference does not mean distance. Her voice speaks not just for Indigenous Australians, but for anyone who has felt the sting of exclusion. In her world, humanity isn’t fractured—it’s one vast, interconnected family, equal in worth and spirit.
At its heart, All One Race is not just a protest—it’s a vision. Oodgeroo invites us to imagine a future unburdened by prejudice, where love and understanding replace fear and hate. The poem doesn’t ask for assimilation; it demands acceptance without erasure. She celebrates diversity while championing common ground, recognizing that peace begins not with uniformity, but with empathy. In just a few verses, she builds a powerful bridge between cultures, offering a message as urgent today as when it was first written: we belong to one another, and we are all, ultimately, one race.
The national park of Plitvice is world-famous for its 16 lakes arranged in cascades. These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and follow the water flow. They are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by the action of moss, algae, and bacteria. . The encrusted plants and bacteria accumulate on top of each other, forming travertine barriers which grow at the rate of about 1 cm per year.
The 16 lakes descend from an altitude of 636 to 503 m, and the water exiting from the lowest lake form the Korana River.
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure to green, grey or deep blue. The colors change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight.

I tried the image again that I was working on yesterday when the kitty helped me change direction. My neighbors have a spider that created a web above their lawn, they water their lawn at night and in the morning the magic reveals itself. This image reminds me how of how everything in life is interconnected. It isn't completely organized but filled with a myriad of layers. I spent about 15 minutes trying to find the best way to set up to capture the amazing creation. The web strands and droplets are just hovering so I wanted to show how fragile and impermanent it all is.

"Shulyavska" is the 7th station of the Kyiv metro. It is located on the Svyatoshynsko-Brovarska line between the stations "Beresteiska" and "Polytechnic Institute". It was opened on November 5, 1963 as part of the second phase of construction under the name "Bolshevik Factory".
Pylon-type station. It has three underground halls - the middle one and two halls with landing platforms. The halls of the station are interconnected by rows of portal passages, which alternate with pylons. The middle hall is connected to the ground lobby by two escalator tunnels, between which there is an intermediate lobby. Three-belt escalators are installed in each escalator tunnel for the ascent and descent of passengers.
"Shulyavska" is one of the few metro stations that were renamed (it was called "Bilshovyk Factory") in Kyiv in the early 1990s. A colored mosaic, a work of monumental art of the Soviet era, has been preserved here. At the time of the opening of the station, several large industrial enterprises were located nearby.
In the photo, above the passages to the track platforms. on the dark brown cornice made of cast iron, light spots are visible - the places of dismantled letters that proclaimed the Soviet slogans: "Communism * Peace * Labor * Freedom * Equality * Brotherhood * Happiness" in Ukrainian and Russian.
“«Шулявська» — 7-ма станція Київського метрополітену. Розташована на Святошинсько-Броварській лінії між станціями «Берестейська» і «Політехнічний інститут». Відкрита 5 листопада 1963 року у складі другої черги будівництва під назвою «Завод „Більшовик“».
Станція пілонного типу. Має три підземних зали — середній і два зали з посадковими платформами. Зали станції з'єднані між собою рядами проходів-порталів, які чергуються з пілонами. Середній зал з'єднаний з наземним вестибюлем двома ескалаторними тунелями, між котрими розміщений проміжний вестибюль. Для підйому та спуску пасажирів в кожному ескалаторному тунелі встановлено тристрічкові ескалатори.”
"Шулявська" одна з небагатьох станцій метро, що були перейменовані (мала назву «Заво́д „Більшови́к“») у Києві на початку 1990-х років. Тут збереглася кольорова мозаїка, витвір монументального мистецтва радянської доби. На момент відкриття станції поблизу були розташовані декілька великих промислових підприємств.
На світлині, над проходами до колійних платформ, на темно-коричневому карнизі з литви, видно світлі плями - місця демонтованих літер, які проголошували радянські гасла: "Комунізм * Мир * Праця * Свобода * Рівність * Братерство * Щастя" українською та російською мовами.
Taken at my father's garden in Butterworth, Penang, Malaysia. I was intrigued by the different shapes of water on these leaves after a shower.
Do you know....
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank.
Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs — all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs.
Water regulates the Earth’s temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes.
75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water.
A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up in our water.
