The advantages of turf roofs (also called sod roofs) are many. They are very heavy, so they help to stabilize the house; they provide good insulation; and they are long-lasting.
Turf roofs in Norway are a tradition and you will see them everywhere. Roofs in Scandinavia have probably been covered with birch bark and sod since prehistory. During the Viking and Middle Ages most houses had sod roofs. In rural areas sod roofs were almost universal until the beginning of the 18th century. Tile roofs, which appeared much earlier in towns and on rural manors, gradually superseded sod roofs except in remote inland areas during the 19th century. Corrugated iron and other industrial materials also became a threat to ancient traditions. But just before extinction, the national romantics proclaimed a revival of vernacular traditions, including sod roofs. A new market was opened by the demand for mountain lodges and holiday homes. At the same time, open air museums and the preservation movement created a reservation for ancient building traditions. From these
“It was the time when they loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other mortal trails, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore. ”

Commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae. 21908
Point Pelee is found in Essex County which is the most southern part of Canada. Essex County including Windsor is less than six percent native forest cover and only three percent of wetlands remain intact. Much of the area has been converted to agricultural and industrial use or urban development which underscores how important Point Pelee is to this part of Canada.

Singapore is a photographers paradise with so many wonderful viewpoints.
This is from Marina Barrage on the edge of the city on the Straights of Singapore. It is a very easy area to access and heavily frequented by locals enjoying the cool breezes and city views.
The challenge of this photo beyond weather is waiting for the area to be free of people and timing the water fountain lights. The water fountain cycle is rather short, so to overcome this I used a ND filter and 30 second exposure. This left the lasting water impressions and those walking through were not captured.
Cymbidium commonly known as boat orchids, is a genus of evergreen flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. They are among the oldest horticultural orchids in the world. They are among the most popular orchid genus. They're an important cut flower crop for florists and are widely cultivated as a grower's fancy. Commonly known as boat orchids, is a genus of evergreen flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are epiphytic, lithophytic, terrestrial or rarely leafless saprophytic herbs usually with pseudobulbs. There are usually between three and twelve leaves arranged in two ranks on each pseudobulb or shoot and lasting for several years. From one to a large number of flowers are arranged on an unbranched flowering stem arising from the base of the pseudobulb. The sepals and petals are all free from and similar to each other. The labellum is significantly different from the other petals and the sepals and has three lobes. There are about fifty-five species and sixteen further natural hybrids occurring in the wild from tropical and subtropical Asia to Australia. Cymbidiums are well known in horticulture and many cultivars have been developed. Plants in the genus Cymbidium are epiphytic, lithophytic or terrestrial plants, or rarely leafless saprophytes. All are sympodial evergreen herbs. Some species have thin stems but in most species the stems are modified as pseudobulbs. When present, there are from three to twelve leaves arrange in two ranks and last for several years. The leaf bases remain after the leaf has withered, forming a sheath around the pseudobulb. The flowers are arranged on an unbranched flowering stem which arises from the base of the pseudobulb or rarely from a leaf axil. 17550
My dad’s wedding ring. A marriage that lasted 64 years until his passing of age-related causes last year. He was a wonderful, loving man who introduced me to the love of the outdoors and photography!

I knew early on what would be my subject for the "Pins" theme: pins on an old motherboard. For my "Modern Times" style image for the MM theme "cogwheel" back in 2018 (please see the second comment) I'd wanted a circuit board as background, but didn't have one at hand. So I went to a very small computer shop around the corner and asked if they had an old, useless circuit board lying around – they had, and I got it for free. To carry it home, however, was a spiky affair. I'd thought that I'd simply put the mainboard under my arm, but I hadn't been aware that there are so many tiny, super spiky-prickly-sharp pins on a mainboard ;) So in the end I held it – in turns – at the sides (gingerly) or at the ports that would have been at the back of the computer chassis. A lasting memory, as it seems ;)
I've photographed the undersides of a row of connector pins that are plugged onto the edge of the mainboard. Each of them is 1 mm / 0,03 inches long. I've used both extension tubes (10mm/16mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens to get as close to the pins as possible. For the yellow/golden light I've used a yellow, semi-translucent cap of a soap bottle that fits so nicely onto the LED lamp's head. I was surprised that the pins looked so soft(-ish), and with the smooth, minimalist bokeh and the background colour (apparently the living room wall, because I hadn't put anything behind the mainboard) the final result reminded me of a corps de ballet or a chorus line. Or of chess pawns, but I prefer the aforementioned idea that these are dancers on an opera stage.
HMM, Everyone! Stay safe and healthy, and have a pleasant week ahead :)
Ich wusste schon frühzeitig (was nicht allzu oft vorkommt), was ich für das aktuelle MM-Thema machen wollte: "Pins" / Steckstifte auf einer alten Hauptplatine. Diese Platine hatte ich mir mal als Hintergrund für mein an "Modern Times" angelehntes Foto für das "Cogwheel"-Thema (September 2018, Ihr findet das Foto im 2. Kommentar) bei einer kleinen Computer-Bude bei mir um die Ecke besorgt. Das Nachhausetragen war dann eine stachelige Angelegenheit, denn ich hatte nicht an die doch sehr vielen, so kleinen wie nadelspitzen Steckstifte / Lötstifte / Verbindungsstifte und das andere spitze Zeugs, mit dem so eine Platine bestückt ist, gedacht. Unter den Arm klemmen war also nicht – und diese "Fasse-die-Platine-dort-an-wo-es-mal-nicht-pikt"-Erfahrung war dann offenbar doch so nachhaltig, dass ich mich gleich daran erinnert habe, als ich las, was das heutige Thema sein würde ;)
Ich habe hier beide Zwischenringe (10mm/16mm) und die Raynox-DCR-250-Makrolinse verwendet, um so nah wie möglich an die Reihe von Verbindungsstiften heranzukommen. Fotografiert habe ich deren Unterseite, mit gelb-goldenem Licht von der Seite, für das ich den halbtransparenten, gelben Schraubverschluss einer Spüliflasche auf den Kopf der LED-Lampe gesteckt habe (er passt wie dafür gemacht). Die Hintergrundfarbe kommt offenbar von der Wohnzimmerwand, da ich nichts hinter die Platine gestellt hatte. Das Resultat sieht überraschend luftig-leicht (für Technik) aus, finde ich. Die "Hütchen" erinnern mich durchaus ein wenig an Bauern auf einem Schachbrett, noch viel mehr erinnern sie mich aber an ein Corps de Ballet.
Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde. Und auch wenn die Inzidenzwerte momentan niedrig sind: Passt gut auf Euch auf!
Now with the party people returning to their festivities I can do my typical long exposure. No fireworks in the sky tonight but what color was there was very calming in relation to the party noises next to me. Besides, if there were fiery skies tonight you couldn't pull people off that rock.

Unknown Walker in the Dense Morning Fog. Destination...?
Rare, long lasting and dense fog in Oak Park. Very serene, and shrouded in mystery.
If you have a few minutes check out the short film about this exhibit. Amazing in 3D. Narrated by Sophie Renoir...great granddaughter of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

I'll be honest, I used a lot of old items in this image, but man they were perfect for it. Old goods aren't always a bad thing - I often make use of the older stuff I own and will continue to do so until they no longer measure up to current quality standards. Good on you, to the creators whose items prove lasting.
This picture was such an easy one to work. I didn't do that much to it from the raw image, which I'll link below. just dressed it up a bit and gave it a background to suit really. But that's what happens when everything you're wearing is so lovely on its own.

Sai qual'è il regalo perfetto per una persona a cui vuoi particolarmente bene?
Un cactus! Simbolo di forza, perseveranza, fedeltà e affetto duraturo!
Do you know what is the perfect gift for someone you particularly love?
A cactus! Symbol of strength, perseverance, fidelity and lasting affection!
In my birthday bouquet last week there were two roses., and they’ve lasted. Two for this Gemini. One for each twin. So fitting. lol
I’ve given them that Painterly look here.
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES! ♥️
This dragonfly was captured from 2.3 feet away with my trusty 105mm macro lens and my Nikon D600 camera.
These Catmint plants are the gift that keeps on giving...
They are hardy, always making it through our Wisconsin winters, they fill out the area nicely, they produce thousands of tiny and long-lasting blossoms, and the insects love them.
What more could we ask for?
Enjoy :)
Well today's "explored shots" on Flickr was dominated by flowers - so I thought I would post one.
Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) grow well in centrally heated rooms and have long-lasting flowers produced all year round.

Love Dahlia's especially this rich purple one I found on a walk. Enjoy Macro's added some texture for fun.
So how are you? I am continuing to stay away from the public & travels ~ Covid-19 virus cases are still growing here in Washington State ~ with mass amounts of protesters we may see a second wave, we are praying for peace..
Stay well and safe Flickr friends.
