Fort Jefferson, built on Garden Key of the Dry Tortugas, was constructed in the mid-19th century to protect the shipping lanes accessing the Gulf Coast of the United States. The deep-water anchorage nearby was critical for resupply and refit of vessels and shelter from seasonal Caribbean storms.

 

Although never actually completed, Fort Jefferson was the largest and most sophisticated in a chain of coastal forts situated along the U.S. coast from Maine to California, becoming a critical enabler to the Union Navy successfully blockading Confederate shipping during the Civil War. In addition to protecting the harbor, it became a prison for Union Army deserters and, for a time, Dr. Samuel Mudd - the physician who was convicted of aiding and abetting John Wilkes Booth.

 

A remote location, even today, it's hard to fathom the amount of labor and logistics involved in building and provisioning such a formidable structure with the level of precision and durability that allow us to continue to visit it in exceptional condition 175 years after the first bricks were emplaced.

Sailing boat, Marina Cannes, French Riviera, France.

A boat is a sailboat (pieces of fabric), propelled by the wind. Historically, the boat was the first conveyance medium and long distance. Sailboats carrying goods, passengers, mail. They were used for fishing at sea, military and naval battles.

 

From the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century sailing propulsion gradually disappears for utility transport replaced by steamships and motor boats. Today, utility transport and fishing boats remain only in the less industrially developed countries.

 

The yachts are used for recreational purposes: competitive sailing and boating.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

My I struggled with this one - not only capturing it but in the process in trying to keep the colours real and the flow smooth. Well I guess this is what I have come up with and from memory its pretty much how the morning looked. It was from the outing last week with Pixeloc at North Turimetta. Definitely had a fun morning and treated to a delight of a sky. Anyway... all feedback .. harsh as it may be ... is required.

 

(Daniel: Yep...got soaked from the backwash hitting a set of rocks behind me more than the front waves...Fun!)

 

Stability...I had two of the legs between rocks and I lent down pretty hard on it! Most of the shots where stable thankfully...Appreciate all the comments!

Its a single exposure using a Cokin GND8 for the sky. Thanks for looking as always.

I thought I had made up the word surreality but apparently not. It does exist.

 

Spent a restorative day with a small group of the Famous Flickr Five (FFF) yesterday down along the Mornington Peninsular at Blairgowrie.

 

We missed those that couldn't join us.

 

As we sipped our coffees and indulged in breakfast we pondered about how surreal everything feels at the moment and wondered how many more gatherings like this we might be able to do in the near future.

 

If I get hit by another rogue wave as I did here (along with the lovely Jette), I might not make too many many more anyway ;-). Thank goodness I saw if coming and stood my ground with the use of a tripod for stability- Note-Sherpa who was on lookout ran away).

 

Of course the sea breeze, the wild ocean and the wide open spaces of our beaches will always be a place of refuge in these strange and surreal times.

By breaking his word, by refusing the diplomatic route, by choosing war, President Putin has not only attacked Ukraine. He has decided to carry out the most serious attack on peace, on stability in our Europe. To this act of war, we will respond without weakness, with composure, determination and unity.

A Cypress Swamp in the Mercer Arboretum north of Houston, Texas. Though it may seem otherwise, the water level is lower than usual.

 

The woody knobs are "cypress knees" -- they provide these tall trees oxygen, nutrients and stability not otherwise available in the primordial ooze. A bald cypress can live up to 600 years, though there are some as old as 1,000.

The title is a play on words, as the shape of the jetty stretches out to sea.

Well what an eventful few days I've just had lol!

This image was captured on a jetty at Lytham. Not having been here before, I must admit to being a little apprehensive about the incoming tide, which was rising pretty quick. The Long Exposure seemed to take forever.

Suppose being close to the RNLI was a bonus, had I fallen in, as I can't swim.

The wind was really strong and I did worry about the stability of the tripod, being so out in the open.

Im pleased with the result though and hope to go back for another try!

Need some stability or do you need a stable? If it's the latter, you're in luck...DaD virtual living has a new release. The "Berkshire Stable". This stable actually has lots of possibilities. The texturing is beautiful and it's very functional. Stable doors open on both the top and bottom in case your horses need to run free. You can find this stable at the faMESHed 8th Anniversary Event! Also make sure to wear your faMESHed group tag to grab your free gifts! Pictured:

Die Hite Crossing Bridge überbrückt den Colorado River in Utah im Südwesten der USA. Die Brücke befindet sich in der Nähe von Hite, einer kleinen Stadt in der Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Die Hite Crossing Bridge wurde 1966 errichtet und war zu dieser Zeit die längste Bogenbrücke in Utah. Sie ist 61 Meter hoch und 440 Meter lang. Sie ist Teil der landschaftlich reizvollen Strecke von Hanksville nach Hite und bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf den Colorado River und die umliegende Landschaft.

 

Allerdings ist die Hite Crossing Bridge auch bekannt für ihre Probleme mit der Stabilität. In den 1990er Jahren wurden umfangreiche Reparaturen durchgeführt, um die Brücke sicherer zu machen. Trotzdem wurde die Brücke im Jahr 2018 für den Schwerlastverkehr gesperrt und ist seitdem nur noch für den PKW-Verkehr zugänglich. Trotz ihrer Probleme mit der Stabilität ist die Hite Crossing Bridge ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Infrastruktur in der Region und wird weiterhin von Einheimischen und Touristen genutzt, um den Colorado River zu überqueren.

The Hite Crossing Bridge spans the Colorado River in Utah in the southwestern United States. The bridge is located near Hite, a small town in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The Hite Crossing Bridge was built in 1966 and was the longest arch bridge in Utah at that time. It is 61 meters high and 440 meters long. It is part of the scenic route from Hanksville to Hite and offers a breathtaking view of the Colorado River and the surrounding landscape.

 

However, the Hite Crossing Bridge is also known for its stability problems. Extensive repairs were carried out in the 1990s to make the bridge safer. Nevertheless, the bridge was closed to heavy traffic in 2018 and has since only been accessible to cars. Despite its stability issues, the Hite Crossing Bridge remains an important part of the infrastructure in the region and continues to be used by locals and tourists to cross the Colorado River.

She'd known beauty, unconditional love. She had her place, stability in the spring. As the maiden, she'd known joy in the seeming endlessness of the unknown. It was only when she faced that vastness that she could truly grasp her womanhood. It's not just a step into the dark, but the acceptance of it. Acknowledgement of the duality within herself, as well as shedding the security of those comforts she knew so well.

Ok. Time for another one! I found this while I was migrating my archives to Lightroom.

(YES: Adobe!! There ARE STILL some performance and stability issues with it ...)

Nevertheless: Found some images that I thought are worth a try with Photoshop and my fav filter :)

Hope, you like it :)

Have a great weekend!

And i apologize in advance: There will be not much time to share with flickr ... hope to catch up with you on monday ;)

I am fascinated by some of the Tree roots I come across on my walks. Especially when you can see them above the surface like these. They are the veins that provide all the nutrients and water the tree requires, but much more.

 

There are five types of Tree roots, each of them developing at different stages of the Tree’s life:

 

1.Tap roots: Every tree starts with a tap root that provides stability and absorption. Over time, other roots outgrow the taproot. Most taproots don’t continue to grow ever more deeply because deep soils lack the oxygen and nutrients that roots need to survive.

2.Lateral roots: Lateral roots grow outwards right under the soil surface. They absorb a lot of water and nutrients as well as anchoring the tree.

3.Oblique/heart roots: Oblique roots, also known as heart roots, grow at a diagonal and have the same function as lateral roots.

4.Sinker roots: Sinker roots grow downwards from the lateral roots to a depth of several feet. There, lateral roots take advantage of any water and nutrients deeper in the soil in addition to increasing tree stability.

5.Fine roots: All the root types aforesaid can give rise to fine roots, which is where water and nutrients are directly absorbed. They also house mycorrhizae, which are fungal partnerships that increase root absorption capacity.

 

An interesting tale came to me some time ago that I am sure many of us can take a life lesson from. It tells of how trees push their roots down deeper when located in stormy areas. Their deeper roots helps them to withstand the elements. And there’s good advice for us all. Whatever your belief, put your roots down deep so when you face whatever life throws at you, you'll still be standing firm!

While in John Day Fossil Beds we visited Cant Ranch, a historically preserved farm that now doubles as a ranger office building. It was a very interesting area, and certainly beautiful but I was having trouble trying to find a composition that gave any kind of wow factor. The sun was low, and I wanted to work with that. I tried to use the house, the composition of light and shadow, and the sun breaking together. When I see a ranch I think early mornings and fresh air. I placed the sun over the house to evoke a feeling of sunrise and a fresh new day. The house is intended to evoke stability, formalism and the omnipresent force of routine that instills all farms. The light and the shadow is intended to represent the relationship between the promise and the peril of the farming business/lifestyle.

 

Anyway, I hope you (the viewer) got a fraction of that when you looked at it.

In Flanders Fields by John Mccrea

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

 

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

 

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for November 9th is “poppies”, in honour of Armistice Day and Veterans Day, both of which are celebrated on the 11th of November every year. This red poppy I actually photographed in the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne a year ago, when whilst I visited there, I came across beds full of beautiful poppies in all kinds of colours. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile, and that it helps you reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace, prosperity and stability, and those who fight today to protect us still. Let us also hope that conflicts around the world will come to a swift conclusion, not least of all in Ukraine and in Gaza.

 

Armistice Day or Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. It falls on the 11th of November every year. Remembrance Day is marked at eleven o’clock (the time that the armistice was declared) with a minute’s silence to honour the fallen. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

 

Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November the 11th, for honouring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.

Improved the stability (you can hold it with one hand, for example) among other things. Made the top more accurate as well. It's composed of two CNG (compressed natural gas) tanks, a window, a grate for maintenance workers to walk on, and an exhaust pipe.

La nave de la basílica se excavó en la roca y está a un nivel más bajo para realzar el presbiterio y romper la monotonía de un espacio tan largo. Está dividida en cuatro tramos, marcados por series de grandes arcos fajones, cruzados en la bóveda para formar casetones.

 

Las dimensiones del templo actual son superiores a las de la primitiva perforación, que era de 11 por 11 metros. Las dificultades técnicas de la ampliación del túnel fueron muy grandes por la estructura granítica del risco, con diaclasas que podían producir desprendimientos, hasta el punto de que se tomó la decisión de macizar el túnel existente con los escombros de la ampliación del suelo y costados, y una vez terminada y consolidada esta, proceder al vaciado total. En agosto de 1954 se realizó el revestimiento interior, con grandes arcos fajones hormigonados, así como los laterales y el suelo, lo que contribuye a la estabilidad del conjunto y a la sujeción de la masa de piedra que gravita sobre la bóveda.

 

Los muros de las capillas albergan los restos de miles de combatientes de ambos bandos de la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939).

 

The nave of the basilica was excavated in the rock and is at a lower level to enhance the presbytery and break the monotony of such a long space. It is divided into four sections, marked by series of large transverse arches, crossed in the vault to form coffered ceilings.

 

The dimensions of the current temple are greater than those of the original perforation, which was 11 by 11 meters. The technical difficulties of expanding the tunnel were very great due to the granitic structure of the cliff, with joints that could cause landslides, to the point that the decision was made to solidify the existing tunnel with the debris from the expansion of the floor and sides. and once this is finished and consolidated, proceed to complete emptying. In August 1954, the interior lining was made, with large concreted transverse arches, as well as the sides and the floor, which contributes to the stability of the whole and to the support of the mass of stone that gravitates over the vault.

 

The walls of the chapels house the remains of thousands of combatants from both sides of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

For no less than 35 years, Marshal Tito was the face of Yugoslavia. He moved on the stage of world politics with bravado: he opposed the almighty Soviet Union, his Tito-ism formed the ideal buffer against Stalinsm for the West. In short, Tito put Yugoslavia on the world map. More importantly, Tito has managed to maintain stability in Yugoslavia all these years. How did he manage to keep those very strong nationalistic feelings in check all these years? Tito just said: Don't whine, shut up. Most importantly, Tito, with a sophisticated strategy, made sure that no people felt like a minority. No one is better or more valuable than another. As the leader of his partisan army, which consisted of different population groups, he was the only one who really stood above the parties. Especially in the early years of his reign unsavory things happened. Indeed. People who opposed him during the war or shortly afterwards have been disabled. Thousands of people have been murdered and beaten to death. The problem with dictators, and Tito was of course a dictator, is that they don't have suitable successors. No one can and should stand in their shadow, so when such a ruler dies, power falls into the hands of all kinds of incapable figures. After Tito's death in 1980, Yugoslavia is rapidly declining. The increasingly poor relations between the different population groups eventually culminate in a civil war. You can still find slogans of Tito at the most southern point of Croatia, at the abandoned Prevlaka Fortress: Tito - leads our way - to je naš put.. On the road to Prevlaka Fortress we pass beautiful Italian cypress trees.

 

Prevlaka is a peninsula at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor - Montenegro. It is the southernmost point in Croatia. There is a neglected fortress from 1870. It was bombed in 1943 and this is still clearly visible. There are plans for restoration. The reserve is totally overgrown, but nature is breathtaking. There is a beautiful view from the terrace. Prevlaka's strategic location and proximity to a naval base have led Prevlaka to several quarrels between Croatia and Yugoslavia. In the early 1990s, during the Croatian War of Independence, Yugoslavia occupied the peninsula. In 1996, the two countries agreed to demilitarize it, and UN observers came to monitor it. Recognized as a territory of Croatia in 2006. Worth a visit if you like abandoned ancient ruins. On the road past beautiful Italian cypress trees to the most southern point of Croatia.

 

Maar liefst 35 jaar lang was maarschalk Tito hét gezicht van Joegoslavië. Met bravoure bewoog hij zich op het toneel van de wereldpolitiek: hij joeg de almachtige Sovjet-Unie tegen zich in het harnas, zijn titoïsme vormde voor het Westen de ideale buffer tegen het stalinisme. Hoe slaagde hij erin die zeer heftige nationalistische gevoelens al die jaren in toom te houden? ‘Tito zei gewoon: “Niet zeuren, bek houden.”‘ Het belangrijkste was dat Tito er met een uitgekiende strategie voor zorgde dat geen enkel volk zich een minderheid voelde. Niemand is beter of meer waard dan een ander. Als leider van zijn ,b>partizanenleger, dat uit verschillende bevolkingsgroepen bestond, was hij de enige die werkelijk boven de partijen stond. Vooral in de eerste jaren van zijn bewind zijn er onverkwikkelijke zaken gebeurd. Inderdaad. Mensen die hem tijdens de oorlog of vlak daarna tegenwerkten zijn uitgeschakeld. Duizenden mensen zijn vermoord en doodgeslagen. Na Tito’s dood in 1980 gaat het snel bergafwaarts met Joegoslavië. De steeds slechtere verhoudingen tussen de verschillende bevolkingsgroepen culmineren uiteindelijk in een burgeroorlog. Er zijn vandaag de dag nog steeds slogan's te vinden van Tito, zo ook bij het verlaten Prevlaka Fortress Tito lijdt ons de weg - Tito - to je naš put.. Prevlaka is een schiereiland bij de ingang van de baai van Kotor - Montenegro. Het is het meest zuidelijke punt van Kroatië. Er is een verwaarloosd fort uit 1870. Er zijn plannen voor restauratie. Het reservaat is totaal overwoekerd, maar de natuur is adembenemend. Vanaf het terras is er een prachtig uitzicht. In het begin van de jaren negentig, tijdens de Kroatische Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog, bezette Joegoslavië het schiereiland. In 1996 kwamen de twee landen overeen om het te demilitariseren, en VN-waarnemers kwamen het volgen. Erkend als een grondgebied van Kroatië in 2006. Een bezoek waard als je van verlaten oude ruïnes houdt. Op weg langs prachtige Italiaanse cipressen naar het meest zuidelijke punt van Kroatië.

I have craved stability my whole life - it's been like a child's hat blown off at the beach; you keep chasing, trying to catch it but unseen gusts take it further from your grasp, do you give up, take the loss or strategically pause, observe the patterns and try again ‍♀️

  

It seems you just about get one area of your life kinda stable then pooft something happens.

 

As a young adult I thought I would find stability starting my own family young but nope 😁

Career gets going but then lack of stability with love or maybe money's more stable but then time is not ‍♀️

 

So I'm rewriting my stability list,

I'm going to take a bit from the mountains which have always brought me such an all encompassing feel of stability, they are there through times, seasons, weather comes and goes but in a quiet majesty they take it all but remain strong♥

The color blue represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence.

 

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️

Sie fallen weder durch ihre Farbe noch durch ihre Größe auf, denn sie sind ausschließlich weiß und eher bei den Minipilzen zu verorten. Auch die Oberfläche des Pilzhutes ist eher unspektakulär. Ihre wahre Schönheit zeigen sie jedoch auf der Unterseite. Die Lamellen fächern strahlenförmig zum Hutrand hin auf und sind häufig im Endbereich gegabelt. Die drei Pilzkörper der Aufnahme sind in den Ecken eines Dreiecks angeordnet. Dies verleiht dem Bild Stabilität und Ruhe.

 

They are not noticeable either because of their color or their size, because they are exclusively white and are more likely to be located among the mini mushrooms. The surface of the mushroom hat is also rather unspectacular. However, they show their true beauty on the bottom. The lamellae fan out radially towards the edge of the hat and are often forked in the end area. The three mushroom bodies of the recording are arranged in the corners of a triangle. This gives the image stability and calmness.

And as from the old philosophers of time would say:

“To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life, and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.” — Confucius

 

So, let us all pray and hope that the New Year 2025 coming in, will bring us relief from all the disorders and controversies that conflicts, with the surrounding issues we face up in our daily lives today and to be overcome finally with Peace and Stability that we all want in order to get on with our lives to the full.

 

Wishing you all a very Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2025; to all my wonderful Flickr friends!
