A "penjor" is a decorative bamboo pole placed outside Balinese homes and businesses during a religious occasion such as "Galungan". Halfway up a penjor is a cage-like structure to place offerings in. Penjors symbolize the dominance of good over evil as well as a way to offer thanks to the gods. They also symbolize Mount Agung, a sacred volcano and the tallest mountain on Bali which is believed to be the home of the gods. (Do zoom in to see the series of penjors).

Protea is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants, sometimes also called sugarbushes or fynbos. In local tradition, the protea flower represents change and hope. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape flora are thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape, where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species. The main vectors responsible for the transfer of pollen in protea cultivation are birds, insects, and wind. Some Protea species exhibit both self-pollination and cross-pollination as a method of reproduction. Cross-pollination is preferred, though, as a method of reproduction because it provides genetic diversity in the population. When cultivating proteas, breeders use hand pollination as a controlled method to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Proteas usually flower during spring. The general structure of their flower heads consists of a mass of flowers on a woody receptacle. The ovary is protected by the receptacle, thus is not seen when looking at the flower, but the anthers are present at the top of the flower, which can then easily transfer the pollen to the vectors. 17529
East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.
Just a couple of days ago Truthseeker gave me that extraordinary gift and last night I received another one such from Suzanne Graves!
"Cyclic Structure #3" is rezzed on the lowest platform on the southern shore of Syncretia, for all those that want to admire it in world.
Scientific study: “COVID-19 lockdown effects on adolescent brain structure suggest accelerated maturation that is more pronounced in females than in males”.
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2403200121
“Since accelerated brain maturation has been associated with increased risk for the development of neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, these findings highlight the importance of providing ongoing monitoring and support to individuals who were adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Like we were told during covid: follow the science!
Galatians 2:18 “Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor.”
A tornadic supercell takes on many shapes, sizes, and colors as it passes over an abandoned farm house East of Tulia, Texas.
This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.
Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of the kingdom of the Trees. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave off further deterioration. It is possible to experience at this temple the wonder of the early explorers when they came upon these monuments in the middle of the nineteenth century. Fig, banyan and kapok trees spread their gigantic roots over stones, probing walls and terraces apart, as their branches and leaves intertwine to form a roof over the structures. Trunks of trees twist amongst stone pillars. (www.tourismcambodia.com/attractions/angkor/ta-prohm.htm)
Ta Prohm is the modern name of the temple at Angkor area in Siem Reap Province in Cambodia. This temple was built starting in 1186 ad in Khmer Empire architectural style founded by King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.
The temple of Ta Prohm was used as a location in the film Tomb Raider. Its scenes of Ta Prohm were quite faithful to the temple's actual appearance and made use of its eerie qualities.

In the 1270's, the Mogollon People built these elaborate stone-walled structures in caves above cliff dweller creek. By the year 1300, the entire community abandoned this location and mysteriously vanished into history. It's likely they dispersed across the four corners region, possibly assimilating into other tribes.
