I was wondering about this weight station so I looked it up. It's a club. So, if someone catches a fish that they are really proud of and want the world to know, they come to this place to get it weighted and take pictures of it. What would your life be like without this info..;) Click on image

Barbed wire, also known as barb wire, occasionally corrupted as bobbed wire or bob wire, is a type of steel fencing wire constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to construct inexpensive fences and is used atop walls surrounding secured property. It is also a major feature of the fortifications in trench warfare (as a wire obstacle).

Michael Kelly Invented the First Barbed Wire Fencing

The first wire fences (before the invention of the barb) consisted of only one strand of wire, which was constantly broken by the weight of cattle pressing against it.

Michael Kelly made a significant improvement to wire fencing, he twisted two wires together to form a cable for barbs - the first of its kind. Known as the "thorny fence," Michael Kelly's double-strand design made fences stronger, and the painful barbs made cattle keep their distance.

Joseph Glidden Was Considered the King of the Barb.

Joseph Glidden's design made barbed wire more effective, he invented a method for locking the barbs in place, and invented the machinery to mass-produce the wire.

Living patterns of the nomadic Native Americans were radically altered. Further squeezed from lands they had always used, they began calling barbed wire "the Devil's rope."

After its invention, barbed wire was widely used during wars, to protect people and property from unwanted intrusion. Military usage of barbed wire formally dates to 1888, when British military manuals first encouraged its use.

During the Spanish-American War, Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders chose to defend their camps with the help of barbed fencing. In turn-of-the-century South Africa, five-strand fences were linked to blockhouses sheltering British troops from the encroachment of Boer commandos. During World War I, barbed wire was used as a military weapon.

Even now, barbed wire is widely used to protect and safeguard military installation, to establish territorial boundaries, and for prisoner confinement.

I found this barbed wire along with the male Blue Dasher Dragonfly perched on it, at a Polk County park along Lake Kissimmee. Polk County, Florida.

Sad Eyes

You wear the burden

World on your shoulders, babe

So let me hold the weight

I know you're hurting

Deep as the coldest pain

But this is the order sayin'

I'm gonna show you everything's alright

End of the tunnel, there is always light

You're in the middle of the darkest night

I know you're hurting, baby

Whenever you look at me with those

Those sad eyes

I'm gonna dry your sad eyes

I'll make it right, so don't cry

I'm gonna dry those sad eyes

I'll make it right

Under the streetlights

You turned and said to me

That you're no good for me

That was the first lie

You've ever said to me

Oh baby, honestly

I'm gonna show you everything's alright

End of the tunnel, there is always light

You're in the middle of the darkest night

I know you're hurting, baby

Whenever you look at me with those

Those sad eyes

I'm gonna dry your sad eyes

I'll make it right, so don't cry

I'm gonna dry those sad eyes

And baby, even when your troubled tears are falling

Darling, you should know you still look beautiful

Sad eyes

I'm gonna dry those sad eyes

I'll make it right

Mmm

Everything will be alright, I swear

Everything will be alright, I swear

Everything will be alright, I swear

Oh-oh

Those sad eyes

I'm gonna dry those sad eyes

I'll make it right, so don't cry (So don't cry, baby)

I'm gonna dry those sad eyes

And baby, even when your troubled tears are falling

Darling, you should know you still look beautiful (You still look beautiful)

Sad eyes (Oh, sad eyes)

I'm gonna dry those sad eyes

I'll make it right

I'll make it, I'll make it right

I'll make it right, I'll make it right

I'll make it right

England’s capital is renowned for cold weather, warm beer and iconic tourist hotspots including some of the world’s most famous bridges.

But a lesser known bridge in Hampstead Heath, suitably know as ‘Sham Bridge’, has been making headlines for the last 200 years.

Most bridges are designed to at least bear the weight of vehicles or pedestrians crossing over them. However, this bridge located in North West London fails to meet these conventional requirements.

Found above the Thousand Pound Pond in Hampstead Heath, this bridge initially appears to be a typical structure. Yet, upon closer inspection from a different perspective, its true nature is revealed.

Given its nickname, the ‘Sham Bridge,’ this ornamental structure near Kenwood House is merely a two-dimensional feature, lacking the practicality for actual crossing.

Its origins can be traced back to the mid-18th century when it was part of the grounds owned by the first Earl of Mansfield.

The Nikon D850 weighs 915g (2.017 lb) for the body only, and 1005g (2.22 lb) with the battery and a memory card.

By Comparison my gear:

The Olympus E-M1 Mark II weighs

574 g (1.27 lb / 20.25 oz) with the battery and memory card included.

It doesn't sound like much of a difference - but when you have been holding it for several hours you can tell. Its one of the main reasons my Nikon gear is generally gathering dust.

In the street I wasn't sure why he seemed to be "lighting up the sky" with his flash.

Our society seems to be collapsing under the weight of the technology we’ve created. Misinformation and hate spreading like an unstoppable virus…..

It's another changeable day today, we're hoping to do some butterfly transects this afternoon but we need a bit of sun . We'll see. I had a lovely meal last night with June, and had some orchids potted by her, so my collection is growing. Weights and measures is by Dry The River.

The children who were playing with soap bubbles left this one to float in the air. It kept growing until this monster of colour stopped floating and began to come back to earth due to it's own weight.

Caught this little Hummer from a great distance as the tree was in the middle of a swampy area.

MEASUREMENTS

Both Sexes

Length: 2.8-3.5 in (7-9 cm)

Weight: 0.1-0.2 oz (2-5 g)

Wingspan: 4.3 in (11 cm)

A fairly small hummingbird with a slender, nearly straight bill, a tail that tapers to a point when folded, and fairly short wings that don’t reach the end of the tail when the bird is perched.

Rufous Hummingbirds breed in open areas, yards, parks, and forests up to treeline. On migration they pass through mountain meadows as high as 12,600 feet where nectar-rich, tubular flowers are blooming. Winter habitat in Mexico includes shrubby openings and oak-pine forests at middle to high elevation.

We are usually impressed by something big – be it a mighty building, a tall person, or simply an oversized pizza. The big picture asserts itself, takes up space, and demands attention. It appears powerful, loud, and impressive.

But the big picture never stands alone. Beneath its wheels lie countless small stones, inconspicuous and easily overlooked. Each one seems insignificant on its own – and yet together they bear the weight.

The small whispers where the big picture thunders. It lies in the details, in the silence, in the everyday. Without the many small things, the big picture would have no support.

Zumeist lassen wir uns von etwas Großem beeindrucken – sei es ein mächtiges Gebäude, ein großgewachsener Mensch oder einfach nur eine übergroße Pizza. Das Große drängt sich auf, nimmt Raum ein und verlangt Aufmerksamkeit. Es wirkt stark, laut und beeindruckend.

Doch das Große steht niemals allein. Unter seinen Rädern liegen unzählige kleine Steine, unscheinbar und leicht zu übersehen. Jeder für sich wirkt bedeutungslos – und doch tragen sie gemeinsam das Gewicht.

Das Kleine flüstert, wo das Große donnert. Es liegt im Detail, im Stillen, im Alltäglichen. Ohne die vielen kleinen Dinge hätte das Große keinen Halt.
