Some extension into the woods, defensive operations on an abandoned structure.

In biology, an atavism is a modification of a biological structure whereby an ancestral trait reappears after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.
Atavisms can occur in several ways; one of which is when genes for previously existing phenotypic features are preserved in DNA, and these become expressed through a mutation that either knocks out the overriding genes for the new traits or makes the old traits override the new one. A number of traits can vary as a result of shortening of the fetal development of a trait (neoteny) or by prolongation of the same. In such a case, a shift in the time a trait is allowed to develop before it is fixed can bring forth an ancestral phenotype. Atavisms are often seen as evidence of evolution.
In social sciences, atavisms describe a cultural tendency of reversion. For example, people in the modern era reverting to the ways of thinking and acting of a former time. The word atavism is derived from the Latin atavus—a great-great-great-grandfather or, more generally, an ancestor.
Evolutionarily traits that have disappeared phenotypically do not necessarily disappear from an organism's DNA. The gene sequence often remains, but is inactive. Such an unused gene may remain in the genome for many generations. As long as the gene remains intact, a fault in the genetic control suppressing the gene can lead to it being expressed again. Sometimes, the expression of dormant genes can be induced by artificial stimulation.
Atavisms have been observed in humans, such as with infants born with vestigial tails (called a "coccygeal process", "coccygeal projection", or "caudal appendage"). Atavism can also be seen in humans who possess large teeth, like those of other primates. In addition, a case of "snake heart", the presence of "coronary circulation and myocardial architecture [which resemble] those of the reptilian heart", has also been reported in medical literature (Wikipedia).
This is probably the coolest kids play structure I have ever seen. It has
stairs in the back, monkey bars under it, some kind of maze inside the
wagon, and a slide down the handle. Ever since I showed this picture to my
4 year old he has been asking to go. Too bad Spokane is such a big drive
from Portland!
External support structure for a large fuel tank that changes size based on how full it is. Guess it was empty that day =)
edit: This no longer exists. To my surprise, it was torn down two weeks after this photo was taken.

Driving home from Birmingham down a small lane about ten miles from home. Could see a small section of this and then turned a corner and this massive structure was infront. It was the same distance the other way!
Exposed stitching is very pretty and could be decorated with beads or charms. This is a longstitch with kettle stitches at top and bottom.
A strong thunderstorm develops beautiful structure over Flagstaff, Arizona, July 8, 2014. At center below the rain free base, there appears to be a suspected shear funnel.

Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...
The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum is part of the Central Bank Museums.
An underground cultural center, the Central Bank Museums offer several attractions for the visitor in one place. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum is one of the few of its kind. It has a superb collection of objects in gold that reflect the world view, social structure and metallurgy of Costa Rican pre-Columbian people.
The structure is composed of 4x4's sunk 24 to 30 inches in the ground. The tank now has a tin roof to keep the tank lid dry, and house the differential temperature controller that operates the pumps. There is one pump for the front set, and one pump for the rear set of panels. The eventual plan is to have a total of 12 panels in both rows for a total of 24 heat collecting solar panels.

On Scene with the Bridgeport Fire Department with a structure fire at 88 Horace St. Crews were called for a fire in the upper floors of a 2.5 story OMD. The first due engine and truck found the second floor and attic well involved with heavy fire coming out of the second floor porch. A special call was put in for addional engines and the safety officer due to the extent of the fire and the summer heat. The fire was knocked down in about 30 minutes but the structure required extensive overhaul to be sure all of the fire was extinguished. Representatives of the City's Fire Investigation Unit responded to process the scene and interview any and all witnesses to the fire. Though several families and thier pets were displaced no injuries were reported as a result of this fire.
