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.

Christmas is the celebration of community, the celebration of family, the celebration of love. At least it is for me. And even if I don't need a special day of the year for empathy, mindfulness and appreciation, these days still have a special, strengthening effect on me.
It's the time when I reflect on what's really important. A time when the "I" steps back to let the "we" take precedence.
Basically, we all belong together. As different as we may be, we are the same in the same moment. We all (and by that I really mean ALL) strive for the fulfillment of the same basic needs. The realization of our own ideals, the recognition and appreciation of our environment, as well as stability and security. These are the lowest common denominators of all human beings, and are enough to at least understand anyone whose strategies for meeting those needs may differ (sometimes radically) from ours.
Talking to each other, speaking clearly and really listening are the only way in this case.
With this in mind, I wish you all a merry Christmas filled with love and harmony both in your environment and within yourself.
Weihnachten ist das Fest der Gemeinschaft, das Fest der Familie, das Fest der Liebe Zumindest ist es das für mich. Und auch wenn ich für Empathy, Achtsamkeit und Wertschätzung keinen beonderen Tag im Jahr benötige, so haben diese Tage trotzdem nocheinmal ein besondere, verstärkende Wirkung auf mich.
Es ist der Zeitpunkt, wo ich mich besinne, was wirklich wichtig ist. Eine Zeit in der das "Ich" zurück tritt um dem "Wir" den Vorrang zu lassen.
Im Grunde gehören wir doch alle zusammen. So unterschiedlich wir auch sein mögen, so gleich sind wir im selben Moment. Wir alle (und damit meine ich wirklich ALLE) streben nach Erfüllung der selben Grundbedürfnisse. Die Verwirklichung unseres eigenen Ideale, Die Anerkennung und Wertschätzung unseres Umfeldes, sowie Stabilität und Sicherheit. Das sind die kleinsten gemeinsamen Nenner aller Menschen und es sind genug um jeden zumindest zu Verstehen, dessen Strategien zur Erfüllung dieser Bedürfnisse sich möglicherweise von unseren unterscheiden (manchmal auch grundlegend).
Mit einander zu reden sich klar zu äußern und wirklich zuzuhören sind in diesem Fall der einzige Weg.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen ein besinnliches Weihnachtsfest erfüllt von Liebe und Harmonie sowohl in Eurem Umfeld als auch in Euch selbst.

"True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.”
~Tom Robbins~
"The pillars of truth and the pillars of freedom - they are the pillars of society."
~Henrik Ibsen~
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.
Emmanuel Macron, French President
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
The undulating brick wall surrounding the Crickle Crackle community garden. The wall is from the mid-eighteen hundreds, and its curved structure produced more stability.
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:

Photo taken from the Euromast. (no sunshine unfortunately)
Euromast is an observation tower in Rotterdam, Netherlands, designed by Hugh Maaskant constructed between 1958 and 1960. It was specially built for the 1960 Floriade, and is a listed monument since 2010.[5] The tower is a concrete structure with an internal diameter of 9 m (30 ft) and a wall thickness of 30 cm (12 in).[6] For stability it is built on a concrete block of 1,900,000 kg (4,200,000 lb) so that the centre of gravity is below ground. It has a "crow's nest" observation platform 96 m (315 ft) above ground and a restaurant. Originally 101 m (331 ft) in height it was the tallest building in Rotterdam. It lost this position to the high-rise of Erasmus MC (113.5 m, 372 ft)[7] which was completed in 1968, but regained it when the Space Tower was added to the top of the building in 1970, giving an additional 85 m (279 ft). Euromast was the highest building of the Netherlands,[8] but was surpassed by De Zalmhaven, also in Rotterdam, in 2021. It is also a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. In 2008, 2009 and 2019, the tower hosted an extreme sports event which featured BASE jumping.

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.
Here's a view upstream further down the gorge from the previous photograph. From here we are a long way from where we started. It almost looks like the setting of the second photograph I shared, but it isn't. I have never been in a creek gorge such as this, where the steep facing ridgelines hold the creek gorge so effectually as it continually drops steeply down the mountain ~and the lower you descend, the vertical slope of the ridgelines increases. The tree you see in the lower foreground became my instant buddy, as I tied a rope above where I made this photograph to let myself down then I used the arm of the tree for stability to crossover to the other side.
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.
“Lest we forget” – three very simple, yet also very powerful words. First used in an 1897 poem written by Rudyard Kipling called “Recessional”, to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, they caution us to be careful not to forget.
As we take a moment this Armistice Day to 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

Hops
Hops are the flowers of the hop flowering plant. They are used as stability agent in beer and for flavoring.
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! ❤️❤️❤️

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!
Cypress knees are cone-shaped structures that grow vertically from the roots of the tree where the roots are at the soil/sediment surface. The most likely function of the knees is to provide stability in the swamp substrate.
More summertime fun yet with a lovely dahlia from Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, WA. Another fun one to shoot with the MC 105 Macro lens. On the monopod but with it collapsed and hugging my chest for stability, "hand holding the monopod". This gives me mobility but is much more solid than just hand holding.
Thank you, my flickr friends, for your warm and kind visits. You are all very much appreciated! 💙

It is no easy feat that Singapore has been able to come this far since 59 years of independence back on 9 August 1965, after separation from Malaysia.
Despite our small size, few resources and many challenges, today's skyline at Marina Bay is the result of the hard work and perseverance of the generations before us.
Let us hope that we will be able to continue this prosperity and stability that we sometimes take for granted in the years ahead, despite ever new challenges arising.
Happy 59th National Day, Singapore. Majulah Singapura (Onwards Singapore)!
Despite some stability in the west and north, this species has suffered a long-term decline in both distribution and population. The cessation of coppicing in woodlands, which creates the right habitat for the adult and that encourages vigorous growth of the foodplant, is believed to be a primary cause of the decline. This species is therefore a priority species for conservation efforts. (Butterfly Conservation)
It’s remarkably difficult to capture the full on fury of a storm in a single image. There are so many things happening at once that it becomes hard to focus- from technical aspects such as composition and camera stability in the face of violent and unpredictable gusts to the obvious dangers of shooting coastal scenes on an incoming tide. This is storm Atiyah, which brought 80mph winds and huge seas to the west coast of Britain in early December 2019. Shot about an hour or so from high tide on the rocks below the sea wall at Porthcawl, it was probably the most scared I’ve been in the last 6 years of photography. And despite being confidant that the sea direction and wind was pushing the huge swells just in front of me, 25 years of windsurfing have taught me to have absolute respect for the sheer unpredictability of the sea.
This may not be a pretty landscape but it’s one for all of you Flickr friends who have supported my stream over the years.
