✨"I love Loving Nature.."✨
✨ I love Loving Nature pouring love everywhere, No one or even "Still Life" is spared, everything is growth, greenery, even the paved roads let life appear... by its small solitary flowers piercing the tar ... .
💕 Everything is harmony between all living species on Earth; Let's look at the Earth with all these Colors, these Shades.... it's Harmony! , it's a Work of Art!.... and everything that is ugly, black, in this painting that we are looking at, take a good look, it's the Human Being who creates it. 💕
Fragile..., Nature does what she can, but some have lost their values, by the lure of gain, material wealth... . Wealth makes us lose the goodness of the heart, we don't value what Mother Nature offers us..., we kill her little by little, and this is only the beginning, with this climate in disarray.
We Kill it and we Suffer it... by Our Fault.
Material wealth helps Happiness, but it's not Happiness.. I don't care if I earn a little or a lot, the important thing is what I grow inside my garden and what I share on the outside.... but it"s true that if I am the only one to share my Interior... well I will have nothing to share with those who are different from me, who are closed and never say what they think.
Pride, an oversized ego, greed, vanity, lying and falsehood are not part of my life. And I'm not even here to support it! lol!.
Happy with my simplicity, and happy to share it with people who have the same values as me, and that my parents and God taught me. A sensible, healthy life with values of Respect, Sharing, Authenticity, Compassion, Love. ✨L.A. 10/10/2022

✨ " Me encanta la Naturaleza amandonos "✨
✨ Me encanta la Naturaleza que nos ama derramando amor por todas partes, Nadie, ni siquiera la "Naturaleza muerta" se salvan, todo es crecimiento, verdor, hasta los caminos pavimentados dejan aparecer la vida... por sus pequenas flores solitarias perforando el alquitran... .
💕 Todo es armonia entre todas las especies vivas de la Tierra; Miremos la Tierra con todos estos Colores, estos Tonos... ¡es Armonia! , es una Obra de Arte!.... y todo lo que es feo, negro, en que estamos mirando, fijense bien, es el Ser Humano Quien lo Crea. 💕
Fragil..., la Naturaleza hace lo que puede, pero algunos han perdido sus valores, por el senuelo de la ganancia, la riqueza material... . La riqueza nos hace perder la bondad del corazon, no valoramos lo que nos ofrece la Madre Naturaleza..., la vamos matando poco a poco, y esto es solo el principio, con este clima en desorden.
Lo Matamos y lo Sufrimos... por Nuestra Culpa.
La riqueza material ayuda a la Felicidad, pero no es Felicidad.. No me importa si gano poco o mucho, lo importante es lo que cultivo dentro de mi jardin y lo que comparto afuera.... pero es cierto que si soy la unica que comparte mi Interior... pues no tendré nada que compartir con los que son diferentes a mi, que son cerrados y nunca dicen lo que piensan de verdade !.
El orgullo, un ego sobredimensionado, la codicia, la vanidad, la mentira y la falsedad no forman parte de mi vida. ¡Y ni siquiera estoy aqui para apoyarlo ni soportalo ! lol !
Feliz con mi sencillez, y feliz de poder compartirla con personas que tienen los mismos valores que yo, y que mis padres y Dios me ensenaron. Una vida sensata, saludable con valores de Respeto, de Compartir, de Autenticidad, de Compasión, de Amor. L.A. 10/08/2022

✨"J'aime la Nature Aimante .."✨
✨ J' aime la Nature Aimante nous déversant de l'amour en toute part , Personne ni même "Aucune Nature Morte" n'est épargnée, tout est croissance, verdure, même les route goudronnées laissent apparaitre la Vie ... par ses petites fleurs solitaires perçant le goudron ... .
💕 Tout est harmonie entre toute les espèces vivantes sur Terre; Regardons la Terre avec toutes ces Couleurs, ces Nuances.... c'est Harmonie ! , c'est une Oeuvre d'Art !.... et tout ce qui est moche, noir, pauvre, dans ce tableau que nous regardons, regardez bien c'est l'Etre humain qui le crée. 💕
Fragile..., la Nature fait ce qu'elle peut, mais certains ont perdu leurs valeurs, par l'appât du gain, les richesses matérielles ... . Les richesses nous fait perdre la bonté du coeur, on ne valorise pas ce que Mère Nature nous Offre.., on la tue petit à petit, et ce n'est que le début, avec ce climat en déroute.
Nous la Tuons et nous la Subissons... par Notre Faute.
Les richesses matérielles aide au Bonheur, mais ce n'est pas le Bonheur.. Moi je m'en Fou de gagner peu ou beaucoup , l'important c' est ce que je cultive à l'intérieur de mon jardin et que je partage à l'extérieur.... mais il est vrai que si je suis la seule à partager mon Intérieur... et bien je n'aurai rien à partager avec ceux qui sont différent de moi, qui sont fermés et ne disent jamais ce qu'ils pensent.
l'Orgueil, un ego surdimensionné, l'avidité, la vanité, le mensonge et la fausseté ne font pas partie de ma vie. Et je ne suis même pas là pour la supporter ! lol !.
Heureuse par ma simplicité, et heureuse de la partager avec des personnes ayant les mêmes valeurs que moi, et que mes parents et Dieu m'ont enseignées. Une vie sensée, et saine avec des valeurs de Respect , de Partage, d'Authenticité, de Compassion, d' Amour. ✨ L.A. 10/08/2022
Bodnant Garden, Eglwysbach, Glan Conwy, North Wales.
Bodnant Garden Coordinates...: 53.2342°N 3.8006°W
Bodnant Garden Founded in 1874 and developed by five generations of one family, it was given to the National Trust in 1949. The garden spans 80 acres of hillside and includes formal Italianate terraces, informal shrub borders stocked with plants from around the world, The Dell, a gorge garden, areas of woodland garden with a number of notable trees and a waterfall. Since 2012, new areas have opened including the Winter garden, Old Park Meadow, Yew Dell and The Far End, a riverside garden. Furnace Wood and Meadow opened in 2017. There are plans to open more new areas, including Heather Hill and Cae Poeth Meadow.
Bodnant Garden has an illustrious connection with 19th and early 20th century explorers, who brought back plants for which the garden is now world-famous, including four National Collections, of Rhododendron forrestii, Magnolia,Eucryphia and Embothrium species. Today the garden also has twenty two Champion Trees, noted for their age, height and horticultural merit.
Wisteria
Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae), that includes ten species of woody twining vines that are native to China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Southern Canada, the Eastern United States, and north of Iran. They were later introduced to France, Germany and various other countries in Europe. Some species are popular ornamental plants.

Vluchtenburcht genaamd Spaanse Graven. Waarschijnlijk in de jaren 1587-1588, toen de Spanjaarden zich enkele maanden in de omgeving ophielden, een door hen aangelegde aarden schans, die circa een halve kilometer ten zuidoosten van de wijer van Molecaten, pal achter het spijker Watervlied, is gesitueerd. De naamgeving Spaanse Graven moet hoogstwaarschijnlijk gelezen worden als "de Spaansen (=zelfstandig naamwoord=Spanjaarden) graven (werkwoord)". De aanleg bestaat uit een vrijwel rechthoekig terrein, dat in het midden een iets verhoogd plateau kent, waaromheen een pad. Het terrein wordt aan de oost-, west-, en noordzijde door een enkele wal en aan de zuidzijde door een dubbele wal afgesloten. De wallen zijn circa 2 meter hoog. De dubbele zuidelijke wal zet zich in westelijke richting een stuk door.
Eind 19de eeuw werd de schans met beuken beplant.

ESCAPE called Spanish Graves. Probably in the years 1587-1588, when the Spaniards stayed in the area for a few months, an earthen rampart built by them, which is situated about half a kilometer southeast of the Wijer van Molecaten, right behind the spijker Watervlied. The naming Spanish Graves should most likely be read as "the Spanish (= noun = Spaniards) graves (verb)". The construction consists of an almost rectangular terrain, which has a slightly elevated plateau in the middle, around which a path. The site is closed off on the east, west and north sides by a single wall and on the south side by a double wall. The walls are approximately 2 meters high. The double southern rampart continues in a westerly direction.
At the end of the 19th century, the redoubt was planted with beech trees.
The Fraser River Bridge at Hope, B.C. built during the 1910s. McCulloch, who also engineered the series of railway tunnels through a treacherous stretch along the Coquihalla River, designed this bridge over the Fraser to carry Kettle Valley Railway trains below and cars above. It still carries vehicular traffic over the Fraser River as part of the Trans-Canada Highway. The Kettle Valley Railway, however, closed in 1961. Hence no railway ties as my photo shows.

The Pons Cestius (Italian: Ponte Cestio, meaning "Cestius' Bridge") is a Roman stone bridge in Rome, Italy, spanning the Tiber to the west of the Tiber Island. The original version of this bridge was built around the 1st century BC (some time between 62 and 27 BC), after the Pons Fabricius, sited on the other side of island. Both the pontes Cestius and Fabricius were long-living bridges; although the Fabricius remains wholly intact, the Ponte Cestio was partly dismantled in the 19th century, with only some of the ancient structure preserved.
The Pons Cestius is the first bridge that reached the right bank of Tiber from the Tiber Island. Whereas the island was long connected with the left bank of the Tiber and the heart of ancient Rome, even before the pons Fabricius, the right bank (Transtiber) remained unconnected until the Cestius was constructed. Several prominent members of the Cestii clan from the 1st century BC are known, but it is uncertain which of them built this bridge.
In the 4th century the Pons Cestius was rebuilt by the Emperors Valentinian I, Valens and Gratian and re-dedicated in 370 as the Pons Gratiani. The bridge was rebuilt using tuff and peperino, with a facing of travertine. Some of the rebuilding material came from the demolished porticus of the nearby Theatre of Marcellus.
During the building of the walls along the river embankment in 1888–1892, the bridge had to be demolished and rebuilt, as the western channel was widened from 48 to 76 meters. The ancient bridge, which had two small arches, was simply not long enough. A new bridge, with three large arches, was constructed in its stead, with its central arch reusing about two-thirds of the original material.

For fans of U-boats, here's two more D&H U33Cs, in sequence with the unit shown in my last STL posting. This time it's the 755-756, awaiting their next helper assignment on 29 May 1982, changing tracks at Bevier Street Yard, literally on the bridge spanning the road that gave the facility its name.

I don't like how small this representation looks now that it is on flickr. Look at a version that is a little larger here (If you want).
About this photo:
This is a bridge that spans the Brandywine Creek. I took this photo during last fall.
About the processing:
I added a color-burn layer to deepen the contrast and colors. The entire image was a little over-exposed, so I also added a linear-burn layer to the bridge to fix the blown-out highlights.

The Cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) is a small New World monkey found in South America. Its name comes from the white hair that spans its head and flows down past the neck. When moving through their forest range, these small tamarins run along and jump between tree branches, using all of their four legs, which are almost the same size. All of their toes and fingers (except for halluces) are equipped with claws instead to nails, making these tamarins excellent climbers, moving with a squirrel-like manner. Currently, Cotton-top tamarins are among the most endangered primates, found in South America.

The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.
Males are 38 to 58 cm (15 to 23 in) long and weigh on average 550 g (1.21 lb). Females are slightly larger at 47 to 61 cm (19 to 24 in) in length and a mean weight of 700 g (1.5 lb). The wingspan can range from 90 to 127 cm (35 to 50 in). Adult birds can vary in mass from 460 to 930 g (1.01 to 2.05 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing bone is 28–35 cm (11–14 in) long, the tail is 16–24 cm (6.3–9.4 in) long and the tarsus is 7.5–9 cm (3.0–3.5 in).[6] Adults have brownish heads, reddish chests, and pale bellies with reddish bars. Their tails, which are quite long by Buteo standards, are marked with narrow white bars. Red "shoulders" are visible when the birds are perched. These hawks' upper parts are dark with pale spots and they have long yellow legs. Western birds may appear more red, while Florida birds are generally paler. The wings of adults are more heavily barred on the upper side. Juvenile red-shouldered hawks are most likely to be confused with juvenile broad-winged hawks, but can be distinguished by their long tails, crescent-like wing markings, and a more flapping, Accipiter-like flight style. In direct comparison, it is typically larger and longer proportioned than the Broad-wing, though is slightly smaller and more slender than most other common North American Buteos. This bird is sometimes also confused with the widespread red-tailed hawk. That species is larger and bulkier, with more even-sized, broad wings and is paler underneath, with a reddish tail often apparent. The Red-tail is also more likely to soar steadily, with wings in a slight dihedral.

This precarious footbridge can be seen from our current location in Valloire, France. It spans from one rock to another, I presume it’s part of a walking/hiking path in the summer. This is probably what I should have posted this morning, but I saw the overgrown egg at breakfast and it so made me smile that it was a must. This footbridge has set me thinking on our journey on the slopes today. It spans one place to the next and on New Year’s Eve it is a time to sit and contemplate what our plans are for the year that might ( or might not) lie ahead. Whatever my ( and your ) hopes and aspirations are for this next year I trust that you’ll make wise choices, place your footsteps carefully. Thank you all for all your support and friendship this year it is very much appreciated. I wish you all a very happy and blessed New Year when it arrives wherever you are.
The Pont de Normandie is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans the river Seine linking Le Havre to Honfleur in Normandy, northern France. Its total length is 2,143.21 metres (7,032 ft) – 856 metres (2,808 ft) between the two piers. It is also the last bridge to cross the Seine before it empties into the ocean. Despite being a motorway toll bridge, there is a footpath as well as a narrow cycle lane in each direction allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross the bridge free of charge. The bridge was designed by Michel Virlogeux, and the architect Norman Foster, the general studies were led by Bernard Raspaud from Bouygues, and the works management was shared between G. Barlet and P. Jacquet. The architects were François Doyelle and Charles Lavigne. Construction by Bouygues, Campenon Bernard, Dumez, Monberg & Thorsen, Quillery, Sogea and Spie Batignolles[2] began in 1988 and lasted 7 years. The bridge opened on 20 January 1995. At that time the bridge was both the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, and had the record for the longest distance between piers for any cable-stayed bridge. It was more than 250 metres (820 ft) longer between piers than the previous record. This record was lost in 1999 to the Tatara Bridge in Japan. Its record for length for a cable-stayed bridge was lost in 2004 to the 2883 meters of the Rio-Antirrio. At the end of construction, the total cost for the bridge, all ancillary structures and finance costs was $465 million and was financed by Natixis. The bridge on its own cost €233 million (US$250 million). The cable-stayed design was chosen because it was both cheaper and more resistant to high winds than a suspension bridge. Shortly after opening, the longest cables exhibited excessive vibrations, so several damping systems were quickly retrofitted.
Late afternoon light on this entrance to a trail there in the Badlands with this bridge to span the normally dry riverbed ... but imagine fills in quickly here if it rains.

I have always had the oddest affinity with the Mackinac Bridge which connects the two halves of Michigan. I remember as a very little girl, crossing that bridge in my parents '59 Chevy station wagon (the one with the winged tail lights). My mother and father chatted on about the amazing Mac that had opened up a few years before this family trip from the suburbs of Chicago to the UP. They talked about the 5 men who had died building that bridge and how it was the longest suspension bridge in the world...at the time. Little did I know that many years later I would be living in Michigan and get to know a man who's father was one of those 5 who lost their lives.
On the way back home from that trip we were in a serious accident when a man plowed into the back of that Chevy wagon. I remember being in the hospital and little else that day. Fortunately no one was killed, but the poor Chevy was written off. We moved to Africa not long afterward, but I never forgot the Mackinac bridge and listening to that conversation, as little as I was at the time. It was a strange moment in 2021 when I stood looking at that bridge again for the first time since that day. I wondered how that it stands unchanged and even the price of crossing has only risen 75 cents since the bridge opened, yet so much of life has passed since then. Standing there I felt I had come full circle (for now at least).
