i actually like this second image better than the first -- there are so few brick buildings around here, not sure what this would have been used for originally?

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

Life is just like any buildings
it need a strong structure to get it balanced ..

الله تعالى بيده الأمر، يخفض القسط ويرفعه، كل يوم هو في شأن، وليست الذلة والمرارة التي تعيشها الأمة الإسلامية حتماً صارماً لا يزول، والتاريخ لا يعرف الكلمة الأخيرة، بل هو في دورات متعاقبة يتحقق فيها التقديم والتأخير، والعلو والهبوط، والتمكين والاستضعاف، ولا شيء يدمر إمكانيات الأمة، ويجرها إلى اليأس والقنوط والانتحار مثل الإحساس بالعجز والتوقف عند حالٍ خاص.

125 Pictures in 2025 #96 "Structure"
This shows some of the structure underlying the American Bank Center (a sort of convention center/ event venue) in Corpus Christi, Texas. In the background is some of the structure of the Harbor Bridge, which spans the entrance to the Port of Corpus Christi.
Amazing structure below this solid steel bridge that connects the coast of the city of Basel, in Switzerland. At only a few meters of Germany and France frontiers. Below is the river Rhine that goes from the Swiss Alps until the northern sea
The satellite cities of Bilbao (Getxo, Portugalate, etc.), laying on different sides of the bay, are connected by a metro system with Bilbao (Portugalete, Spain)

Elephants in the San Diego Zoo have a huge enclosure.
Today, seven elephants live in the Zoo’s Elephant Odyssey habitat. Its features include a state-of-the-art Elephant Care Center, helpful, as the herd is made up of older, non-breeding elephants at this time.
They’re enormous and intelligent, strong and sociable. Humans have been impressed by elephants for centuries, simply because they are so big—a male African elephant can weigh up to 7.5 tons (6.8 metric tons)! They also amaze us with their long and flexible noses, large and flapping ears, and loose, wrinkly skin. There are many stories about elephants—you’ve probably heard of Horton, Babar, and Dumbo. Elephants are one of the best-known animals in the world.
Elephants are large and gray and have big ears and long trunks, right? If all elephants seem the same to you, take a closer look. There are two elephant species that are usually recognized: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. There is some ongoing debate about how many subspecies may exist, or whether some of these might, in fact, be species in their own right. Here are a few ways to tell them apart:
- African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa, both males and females have visible tusks, their skin is very wrinkly, their back is swayed, and the end of their trunk works as if they have two fingers there to help them pick things up. African elephants are the largest mammals on land.
- Asian elephants have smaller ears, usually only the males have visible tusks, their skin is not as wrinkly as African elephants’, they only have one "finger" at the ends of their trunk, and their back is dome-shaped.
Empress and Queenie were the San Diego Zoo’s first elephants, arriving here in 1923 via train from San Francisco. After being led off the train, the two Asian elephants refused to move another step, no matter how much encouragement they received. The Zoo’s founder, Harry Wegeforth, M.D., was there to greet them, and it occurred to him that they were probably used to being ridden, so he climbed up on Empress and another staff member did the same with Queenie, and off they walked from the train station to the Zoo, gathering many astonished looks along the way!
Peaches was the San Diego Zoo’s first African elephant—and she made sure to be a memorable one too. When she arrived in 1953, she was three years old, smart, curious, and, as then ZOONOOZ editor Ken Stott described her, “playful as a quarter-ton kitten.” She had made the journey from Africa to San Diego with keeper Ralph “Gabe” Davis, and they got along famously—at least most of the time. When Gabe gave her breakfast, she would grumble and trumpet at him until he left her alone to eat—apparently, she was not sociable in the morning. She also showed a marked preference for men, even pushing away Zoo Executive Director Belle Benchley when she tried to say hello. Peaches did become more mellow as she grew up, but even as an adult, she still had a way of “flirting” with men while more often than not giving women a cool stare.
Since that time, we've had numerous elephants at our two facilities, and our first elephant birth occurred in 1981. In 1971, Asian elephant Carol became famous by appearing on The Tonight Show with the Zoo’s animal ambassador Joan Embery, to meet Johnny Carson and paint for him while millions watched nationwide!
Elephants have been hunted relentlessly for their tusks (even though they’re made of dentine, the same as our teeth). Elephants are now protected, but poachers still hunt them, and they face other problems, too. Because they are so big and need so much food, they can eat themselves out of “house and home.” Elephants and people often come into conflict as elephant habitats undergo dramatic reductions in size. Asian and African forest elephants are listed as endangered, primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation. African bush elephants are threatened, primarily due to habitat loss and being poached for their tusks.
Elephants Without Borders has been deploying satellite-monitoring collars on elephants throughout northern Botswana since 2000, having tracked over 90 individual elephants; this is one of the longest and largest elephant movement studies in Africa. Every individual pachyderm has its unique character and intriguing story to his or her own seasonal march, preferred routes, and favored places. Each new elephant fitted with a tracking device provides new information to understand the ecology of these animals. Unpredictable individual ranging behavior coupled with a dynamic, ever-changing environment in Botswana underscore the need for long-term elephant studies. The elephants are tracked from a fixed-wing plane, which allows a visual assessment of collared elephants to determine herd structure and habitat use.
Conservation farming project
In collaboration with San Diego Zoo Global, Elephants Without Borders has established a conservation farming project in the Chobe Enclave in Botswana. This project is developing experimental plots with various methods of keeping elephants away from crops, including farming of specific chili species that are thought to be unpalatable to elephants and may deter them from invading crop areas. Along with aerial survey wildlife counts and satellite-collared elephant data, these projects are essential for developing community-based conservation programs to reduce human-elephant conflict and make better-informed conservation decisions for all.

Les visiteurs et les habitants de Maastricht admirent le Dinghuis. Cela est principalement dû à son apparence élancée. Avec près de trente mètres, ce fut pendant longtemps la structure la plus haute de Maastricht. Le Dinghuis se dresse fièrement depuis sa fondation à la fin du Moyen Âge et regorge d'histoires intéressantes.
Ce nom n'a rien d'étrange quand on sait qu'il vient d'un lieu où se règlaient autrefois les disputes et où se rendait la justice. Le Dinghuis, à l'angle de la Kleine Staat et de la Grote Staat, était une cour de justice jusqu'au milieu du XVIIe siècle. Le tribunal de grande instance était situé dans le Dinghuis, le tribunal inférieur dans la maison De Lanscroon, aujourd'hui disparue, un peu plus loin dans la Grote Staat. Le sous-sol du Dinghuis servait de chambre de torture et le grenier de prison. Pour l'exécution de la peine de mort, l'échafaud était placé alternativement sur le Vrijthof et sur le Marché . Le pilori était utilisé pour les châtiments corporels. Les voleurs etaient suppliciés pendant plusieurs heures. Et les femmes adultères devaient s'asseoir dans une cage tournante centrifugées jusqu'à la folie.
Visitors and residents of Maastricht admire the Dinghuis. This is mainly due to its slender appearance. At almost thirty meters, it was for a long time the tallest structure in Maastricht. The Dinghuis has stood proudly since its founding in the late Middle Ages and is full of interesting stories.
There is nothing strange about this name when we know that it comes from a place where disputes were once settled and justice was administered. The Dinghuis, on the corner of Kleine Staat and Grote Staat, was a courthouse until the mid-17th century. The high court was located in the Dinghuis, the lower court in the now defunct De Lanscroon House, a little further on in the Grote Staat. The basement of the Dinghuis served as a torture chamber and the attic as a prison. For the execution of the death penalty, the scaffold was placed alternately on the Vrijthof and on the Market. The pillory was used for corporal punishment. The thieves were tortured for several hours. And adulterous women had to sit in a rotating cage centrifuged to the point of madness.
The Gateway Arch is a 630-foot (192 m) monument in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a weighted catenary arch, it is the world's tallest arch, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri's tallest accessible building. Built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States, and officially dedicated to "the American people," the Arch, commonly referred to as "The Gateway to the West" is the centerpiece of Gateway Arch National Park and has become an internationally recognized symbol of St. Louis, as well as a popular tourist destination.
