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!

I found this old framed photo in a junk shop in the Brecon Beacons. I had no clue as to where or when it was taken, but John Wilson soon solved the mystery! On the back it says it was framed by Fred Loversidge, at the Werneth Art Repository, Oldham. About 100 years old, I think. Wish I'd taken this shot.

The sense of the sublime is not only the root of creative human activities; many of the things humans beings create are also sublime; words that “are a repository of the spirit,” that call forth “ideas unheard of, meanings not fully realized before”; songs that carry our souls “to heights which utterable meanings can never reach,” to “the world of unutterable meanings”, music that is “an attempt to convey that which is within our reach but beyond our grasp” and that “endows us with moments in which the sense of the ineffable becomes alive” noble deeds, mitsvot, that “lead us to wells of emergent meaning, to experiences which are full of hidden brilliance of the holy” and evoke in us “the awareness of living in the neighborhood of God.”
-John C. Merkle, The Genesis of Faith-The Depth Theology of Abraham Joshua Heschel
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.

Usual caveats etc.
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.
Spider webs are so beautiful, especially when they are covered in dew drops. This is on my window, and it is sun-lit from the side. (The patches of blue in the background are a bunch of irises on my table.) My home is an endless repository of spider webs.
Whenever you are down and trouble...
Wake up and fight on...
Whenever you are lost and lonely....
I will be there to help you carry on :-)...
Have a great day and sweet dream tonight :-)..
I will always send you nice sunshine, sweet smile and warm love from Thailand, my Dearest :-)..
Ich liebe dich..I LOVE YOU now and forever...

The Lan Chang Styled Scripture Repository and Wihan...
The northeastern community, established since the early Buddhist era, has created its own unique artistic style that is different from other types of indigenous architecture. The art became known as the art of Lan Chang.
Muang Boran has constructed this particular scripture repository and wihan in Lan Chang style in order to demonstrate the unique artistic features of Lan Chang art. The extraordinary architectural style and design of the buildings are worth studying. The local architecture is ordinarily made of wood, the material often used by northeastern craftsmen. These architectures can hardly be seen today.

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.

37 612 and 37 606 head 7C20 07.56 Sellafield to Drigg Low Level Waste Repository Sidings having just left Sellafield. Certainly wasn't sure I had chosen the correct spot for this working and as, the much longer than usual, train approached I did wonder if it was going to fit. Thankfully it did with a little extra room for perspective correction. I did breathe a sigh of relief.

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.

Bang Phlat District in Bangkok, Thailand, by the Chao Phraya river, is known for its riverside temples like Wat Awut Wikasitaram, a centuries-old royal monastery adorned with golden nāgas guarding the ornate entrance. There's a bustling food market on the street around nearby Wat Panu Rangsi, while ChangChui Creative Park has trendy cafes among its contemporary art installations and a monthly food and craft fair. The green Rama VIII Park has jogging trails and a playground.
