The witch tower in Treysa is a round tower and part of the city fortification.
The so-called witch tower dates from the 15th century. It is a late Gothic round tower with external access to the upper floor. Its protruding tin crowning is characteristic. It was part of the fortification of the lower town. It is the only largely preserved round tower in the city and once comprised four floors.
It was used in the upper part to defend the city gate and in the lower part as a dungeon. In 1609, a woman accused of witchcraft was held in the tower. Due to its historical significance as part of the medieval city fortification, it is listed as a monument. Its current location is the crossroads Steingasse/Rosengasse.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 46530
Of no great significance the subject matter's purpose here was to reveal the interplay of light and shade. What I saw at this corner was the beauty of the tonal scheme and design.
It wasn't until I received the print from the lab that I appreciated it's inherent rhythm.

Colmer’s Hill is an iconic part of the West Dorset landscape and one of the most recognisable places around. This hill, sitting at 417 feet high, perches above the village of Symondsbury on the edge of Bridport.
Colmers Hill’s significance extends back into the 1600’s where it was long called the Colmers Tenement in the Lord of the Manor’s Court Rolls. In about 1650, Elizabeth Lush, the daughter of John Colmer, was the tenant. This is where Colmers Hill got its name from. Two hundred years later in the 1800’s a vicar of the same family name, Rev. John Colmer, was the new tenant. The hill then became ‘Colmers’ again after two hundred years.
Thaumatomyia is a genus of flies in the family Chloropidae. The Chloropidae are a family of flies commonly known as frit flies or grass flies. About 2000 described species are in over 160 genera distributed worldwide. These are usually very small flies, yellow or black and appearing shiny due to the virtual absence of any hairs. The majority of the larvae are phytophagous, mainly on grasses, and can be major pests of cereals. However, parasitic and predatory species are known. A few species are kleptoparasites. Some species in the genera Hippelates and Siphunculina (S. funicola being quite well known in Asia) are called eye gnats or eye flies for their habit of being attracted to eyes. They feed on lachrymal secretions and other body fluids of various animals, including humans, and are of medical significance.

“The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It’s a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short.”

Originally, this was a somewhat uninteresting close-up mobile photo of an old metal scale taken during the winter in Arizona.
Using GIMP, the image was converted to B&W and processed with an illusion map and then a displacement map to add distortion.
Subsequently, in Darktable, a light grain was added and the contrast was bumped to finish the "Weighed Significance" of the image. Happy Slider Sunday!

In the past, the significance of Bangkok and Ayutthaya was due to their stratagic locations on the banks of the river. As ports of call frequented by mercantile ships from foreign lands, these two major towns prospered and bacame trading centers for international trade and communications in addition to their status as the kingdom's capital cities.
From Ayutthaya and Bangkok, ships were built locally left with goods from Thailand to be sold overseas. In the old days. Thai junks like this used to be moored along the banks of the Chao Phraya River from the estuary in Samut Prakan Province all the way up to Bangkok. They gradually disappeared some 50 years ago.

One of the highlights of my trip to Canada in 2019 was a boat trip along Maligne Lake, my word what a beautiful place this is. As ever in Canada the skies were cloudy and grey but this seemed to make the lakes colour glow all the more . The colour of the water also deepened as you moved down the lake . The tiny island is called Spirit Island and it has special significance to the first nation people of the area .

Hillary House Aurora Ontario Built in 1862, Hillary House is recognized by the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board as one of Canada’s best examples of Gothic Revival architecture. Hillary House is potentially among the foremost historic house museums in North America, combining architectural significance and the personal possessions of three generations of medical doctors who worked and lived there with their families. It is a window to a time of immense change, from the era of leeches and bleeding to the advent of penicillin, from a time of calling cards and private ballrooms to the arrival of the phonograph.

The natural world, moreover, is still undergoing a transformation for which the word “drama” is more appropriate than a term like “design” or “plan.” The theological significance of our focus on drama rather than design is that a drama can be the carrier of a meaning that presently lies hidden in the future…
… Theology, as I understand it, looks for the presence of God not in the breaks but in the blossoming of nature…
… Traditional theology’s lack of interest in the cosmic journey is forgivable, of course, since only after Einstein could it have learned that the entire universe is a continuous narrative and not just a platform from which to launch our spiritual adventures.

"The Port Welshpool Long Jetty was constructed at a site chosen by a Royal Commission on Outer Ports (1927). The jetty and its facilities were identified as key to developing the eastern Bass Strait fisheries and of linking to Tasmania to supply fish to the mainland. Construction began in 1936 and finished in 1938. The jetty was built using yellow stringybark sourced from near Woodside, east of Yarram.
As constructed the jetty was 850m long, with varying widths along its length, the maximum being originally 7.2m, later 9.1m. The jetty was lengthened to 908m in 1982 for the supply of the Bass Strait oil and gas industry. Originally designed to take locomotives, it was built with longitudinal decking supported on bearers with longitudinal beams supported by stringers. It was engineered to take substantial loads, sufficient for steam locomotives on a 5 foot 2 inch gauge rail line. The jetty broadened as it turned in a unique and substantial curve to the Lewis Channel. The raked pile construction provided for a robust structure in contrast to piers and jetties in sheltered bays.
The jetty was purpose-built for coastal traders, but has had a variety of uses, including as a base for mine sweepers during and immediately after WW2; as the home base for the fledgling offshore oil and gas industries in Bass Strait and as a recreational fishing platform. Its isolation from residential areas facilitated its use as a dangerous goods jetty for King Island and Tasmanian mines."
