Singapore Botanic Gardens are an oasis of natural beauty and tranquility in a highly urbanized city. The Gardens were established in 1859, and retain the same layout and historical buildings until today.
The Gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and are a global center for plant research, development, and conservation. This was a key institution involved with the introduction of rubber trees in South East Asia, which became a major cash crop for the region.
The greening of Singapore is a direct result of the Gardens' efforts, which devoted their expertise and resources to transform Singapore into the Garden City that it has now become.
The National Orchid Garden has the world's largest display of orchids, and is part of Singapore Botanical Gardens' orchid breeding program, with a repository of one thousand species and two thousand hybrids.
Historic City of Toledo (Spain) © UNESCO
Successively a Roman municipium, the capital of the Visigothic Kingdom, a fortress of the Emirate of Cordoba, an outpost of the Christian kingdoms fighting the Moors and, in the 16th century, the temporary seat of supreme power under Charles V, Toledo is the repository of more than 2,000 years of history. Its masterpieces are the product of heterogeneous civilizations in an environment where the existence of three major religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – was a major factor.
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves!!
Have a fantastic week!!

"In front of you are the lights of a state
Awaiting excavations
And the cages with the sleeping canaries lined up
And I who still haven't found out who I am
A tired purpose, without perspective
And you who will soon be extinguished
One of the lights, to sleep with someone who looks like me
So that the irons of the cage
To be lost for a moment, in the dark.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
My clothes are getting old and they don't last
holes in the knees from the bows
pockets empty of coins
broken zippers, they are bankrupt
My body is bruised
with the cold as a mistake
which no one admits
it turns and asks for your warmth.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
Your cements are new
with lacquered furniture
And white marbles
a warping sheen
and leaves you no room to stand
and only I of all in there am rotting like in an ancient tomb
Performance vessels were found there
except for me, which is a hidden secret
I'm still looking for you to resurrect me.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
My clothes are getting old and falling out
Like bankrupt governments
I grew old in a child's pants
And the ship still hasn't been seen
I squeeze you tighter because I'm cold
my body road, where public works are carried out
Compressors open and close me
Pull the curtain a little to see me
I became a runway for military planes
And my mind, a repository for radioactive waste
They took safety measures, for my breathing
and on a multi-ethnic one-way street, my future was given in return.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
This is how I live my past in advance
and with two bare wires for hands
I hug your high volt for a tight time.
I'm afraid..."

Fairchild Garden is a repository for endangered plants from Madagascar. Without the garden's help, these extraordinary beauties would disappear from the Earth.
To meet the needs of these strange spiny visitors, Fairchild gardeners have modified the soil and mounded up tons of small stones to enhance drainage here in the tropics where we get many times more rain than in their native land.
It's one of my favorite spots in the garden. Bizarre. Other worldly. Unique. Extremely photogenic! See my sets, Madagascan Preserve Fairchild Garden and Savory Succulents and Cactus for many more exotics!

Xylocopa (Latreille, 1802)
The species of the genus Xylocopa are big bees, robust, hairy, with coloration from black to blue or metallic green in females and yellow in males of many species.
The name “carpenter bees” is mainly associated to Xylocopini, because they excavate their galleries within hard and usually dead wood, excepting the palearctic subgenus Proxylocopa.
They arepolilectic bees, that is, they visit a great variety of plants. Their provisions consist of a compact and dry mixture of pollen.

After a reversal at Maryport, 56113 eases through Parton with the 6Z87 08:38 Workington Docks to Drigg BNF. Stockpiled from local quarries, the aggregates conveyed in this short term flow were used not just for construction purposes but also for the capping of storage vaults at Drigg Low-Level Waste Repository, near to Drigg village. The site is the UK's central long-term storage facility for low-level radioactive waste. Although Colas operated, the trips utilised blue JNA-T wagons hired in from Cappagh / DC Rail.

National Library of Brazil (current headquarters inaugurated on October 29, 1910), the institutional official name is the National Library Foundation, is the repository of bibliographic and documentary heritage of Brazil (since the coming of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, in the 1810 period, with a collection of about 60.000 pieces, composed of books and documents).
Currently, the National Library, considered by UNESCO as the seventh largest national library in the world and, also, is the largest library in Latin America, holds in its collection more than 8 million pieces.
* I'm grateful for the visit, faves and comments of my photo.
The artist could be considered the emblem of the pictorial skill accumulated during the 17th century by the best Neapolitan workshops and also an example of virtuosity. His creations are impressive because of their compositional boldness, effective use of light and dramatic intensity. Here Solimena uses his wide range of resources for a narrative in which the harshness of God's punishment of the sinners contrasts with His mercy towards the repentant.

Old Car City
White, GA
Nov 2016
A lot of dilapidated country barns hold one man's junk and another man's treasure as evidenced by this failing structure that serves as a parking spot for an old pickup and a cream separator and if you dared to venture further there is probably more items inside. Older people hold memories of how things were in the past and the wise younger person quietly draws them out.
There are containers similar to this one dotted all over the country and this is where all your used Thoughts and forgotten Memories go when they leave your consciousness. They peel away from you and quickly find their way to one of these repositories, where they wait a while just-in-case you might need them again soon.
After a suitable amount of time, all of the Memories are separated out, labelled and sent to a nearby underground storage bunker, while the Thoughts are piped to smaller, porous containers where they are allowed to dissipate naturally into the aether. When appropriate, the stored Memories of the recently deceased are processed and released to join the Thoughts in said fifth element.

The altar area includes a large rectangular triclinium, where celebrants at the sacrifice shared a communal supper. In the middle of the High Place, there’s a large stone block preceded by three steps. This is a motab (repository), where the god statues involved in the procession would have been kept. Next to it is the circular altar, reached by another three steps; stone water basins nearby were used for cleansing and purifying.
The faint bleat of sheep or the clunk of a goat bell evokes the ancient scene – except that no ordinary person would have been permitted to enter this holy of holies at that time.

The Royal Grand Palace is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam and later Thailand since 1782. It consists of not only royal and throne halls, but also a number of government offices as well as the renowned Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It covers an area of 218,000 square metres and is surrounded by four walls, 1900 metres in length. After King Rama I ascended to the throne in 1782, the palace was built. Prior to this, the royal palace and centre of administration had been located in Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. For various reasons, the new King considered the former capital to be unsuitable and decided to establish a new capital on the other side of the river. Admission fee is free of charge for Thais and 500 baht for foreigners. You'll need to wear culturally appropriate attire when visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok. This means being well covered. Visitors should wear long skirts/trousers and sleeved shirts—basically anything that covers more than the lower arms and head. Fortunately, after the covid period, it is not yet busy with tourists. Thailand has just ended their quarantine policy. Face masks are no longer mandatory. Great to visit the Grand Palace one more time now and see the Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn, a corncob-shaped tower, called a prang, and Phra Mondop Library with green and blue mirrored tiles, on the upper terrace of Wat Phra Kaew.
Impressive 200 years of royal history and architecture at the Grand Palace in Bangkok with more than 100 buildings. The Royal Grand Palace has been the official residence of the kings of Siam. It is the city's biggest tourist attraction and a pilgrimage destination for devout Buddhists. Most of the architecture, royal or sacred, is classified as Ratanakosin - old-Bangkok style. The Royal Pantheon is located on the east side of the upper terrace near the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. In 1782, King Rama I founded the Chakri dynasty in Bangkok. This building with a corncob-shaped tower (called a prang) also called Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn. It is only open to the public on Chakri Day, which is celebrated on April 6. Next to the Royal Pantheon is the gilded Phra Mondop Library Phra Mondop. It is decorated with 16 columns plus green and blue mirrored tiles with tiny golden carvings of Buddha. It is the main library for the Buddhist at the Grand Palace. Photo of the guardian from the Ramakien epic in front of the Phra Mondop Library.
De Royal Grand Palace is een gebouwencomplex in het hart van Bangkok, Thailand. Het paleis is sinds 1782 de officiële residentie van de koningen van Siam en later Thailand. Het bestaat niet alleen uit koninklijke en troonzalen, maar ook uit een aantal regeringsgebouwen en de beroemde Tempel van de groene Smaragd Boeddha. Het heeft een oppervlakte van 218.000 vierkante meter en is omgeven door vier muren van 1900 meter lang. Nadat koning Rama I in 1782 de troon besteeg, werd het paleis gebouwd. Daarvoor was het koninklijk paleis en het bestuurscentrum gevestigd in Thonburi, op de westelijke oever van de Chao Phraya-rivier. Om verschillende redenen vond de nieuwe koning de voormalige hoofdstad ongeschikt en besloot hij een nieuwe hoofdstad te stichten aan de andere kant van de rivier. De toegangsprijs is gratis voor Thais en 500 baht voor buitenlanders. In april 1981 gebruikte de plaatsvervangend commandant van het Thaise leger, generaal San Chitpatima, het paleis als zijn hoofdkwartier voor een poging tot staatsgreep tegen premier Prem. De staatsgreep mislukte mede door ingrijpen koning Bhumibol. Een paar uur later ontmoette generaal Prem echter koning Bhumibol in zijn paleis in Bangkok en de koninklijke familie en de premier vloog naar een legerbasis in Noordoost-Thailand. Premier Prem kondigde op de radio aan dat hij niet was afgetreden. Het Thaise leger trok zich weer terug uit het paleis. Gelukkig is het na de covid periode nog niet druk met toeristen. Thailand heeft zojuist hun quarantainebeleid beëindigd. Mondkapjes zijn niet meer verplicht. Geweldig om het Grand Palace nu nog een keer te bezoeken. Het Koninklijk Pantheon in het Grand Palace met een maïskolfvormige toren een prang genoemd bevindt zich aan de oostkant van het bovenste terras bij de tempel van de smaragdgroene Boeddha. In 1782 stichtte koning Rama I, de Chakri-dynastie in Bangkok. Dit gebouw, ook wel Prasat Phra Thep Bidorn genoemd, Het is alleen open voor het publiek op Chakri-dag, die op 6 april wordt gevierd. Naast deze sprang staat de vergulde Phra Mondop-bibliotheek. De Phra Mondop is versierd met 16 zuilen plus groene en blauwe spiegeltegels met kleine gouden beeldhouwwerk van Boeddha. Het is de belangrijkste bibliotheek voor de boeddhisten in het Grand Palace. Foto van de bewaker uit het Ramakien-epos voor de Phra Mondop-bibliotheek.

Fairchild Garden is a repository for endangered plants from Madagascar. Without the garden's help, these extraordinary beauties would disappear from the Earth.
To meet the needs of these strange spiny visitors, Fairchild gardeners have modified the soil and mounded up tons of small stones to enhance drainage here in the tropics where we get many times more rain than in their native land.
Euphorbia viguieri grows in a single column form covered with medium-sized thorns that are thick at the base and get finer toward the end. They are white and sometimes serrated, making this one of the most dangerous-looking Euphorbias. The column is broader toward the top and may spiral slightly as it grows. The body is five to six sided and may have leaf scars from previous seasons' foliage. It can grow nearly 3 feet tall.
The tubular flowers are spectacular sunset colors in hues of orange, yellow and scarlet. Blooms are produced after a rainy period and are small flowers, measuring less than 1 inch. The flowers do not last long but do attract several pollinating insects with their sweet nectar. Euphorbia viguieri doesn't produce branches, so the flowers spring right from the body of the plant. The flowers open when the heat of the day is over or first thing in the morning and then close when the sun is at its peak.
Euphorbia viguieri goes dormant in the winter and loses its leaves. It will produce a new set in late spring and flower in summer. Many Euphorbia species only have spines and no leaves, but E. viguieri produces both. The leaves are lightly veined and simple, oval in shape and a lighter green than the body. The leaves can grow from 1 to 7 inches long. Extreme drought will also cause the plant to lose its leaves as a protective measure to prevent moisture loss.
Euphorbia viguieri thrives in nutrient-poor areas and is one of the few Euphorbia that may be found in mountainous regions where it tolerates excesses of water. It is also found in scrubland and open woodlands in western to southern Madagascar. The plant does best in an unglazed clay container as a house plant or can be part of a xeriscape garden.

Repository for those papery things with words innit. Soon to be closed I reckon to help the council pay for 'other things'.
Anywise, this was a late afternoon grab shot in the current foggy gloom.
The land was purchased by Woolworths in 1962 and the church itself was demolished in 1965. Only a small part of the site was retained and it was there that St. Aldhelm's Chapel was built.
