Ulm Minster, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The tallest church spire in the world at 162 metres (530 feet). The church was started in 1377 but construction wasn't actually completed until as late as 1890. During WW2 an air raid destroyed 80% of the medieval town centre but the minster was not hit. A 500kg bomb did land in the choir area on March 1st 1945 but did not explode.

"Orange The World (Stand Up for Women) by Marcharie"
Red stands for love
Yellow stands for knowledge
We stand up for girls
And paint the world orange
We're gonna stand up
Stand up for women
Women
All stand up
"I can walk, with you beside me
I can fall, with you to catch me
I can climb, with you beneath me
I can feel, your world inside me"

I really like alleyways like this, so of course I couldn't resist trying to take a picture here. We are in La Orotava and I took this shot in the early afternoon. I took advantage of the strong reflection of the sunlight from the row of houses opposite.

Science World at Telus World of Science, Vancouver is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek, and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.
The building's former name, Science World, is still the name of the organization. The building's name change to the Telus World of Science became official on July 20, 2005 following a $9-million donation to the museum from Telus.[1] The official name of the science centre was subsequently changed to "Telus World of Science", although it is still routinely referred to as "Science World" by the public. Prior to the building being handed over to Science World by the City, it was referred to as Expo Centre during Expo 86. When Science World is operating inside the dome, it is referred to as Science World at Telus World of Science, and when it is out in the community it is simply Science World.

While working on this I could not help pondering the watery world that these birds inhabit with its tall grasses and scrubby brush. I kept wanting to see it from the birds point of view but knew I would really be seeing through the bird with a human's point of view. Want to go back to this place.

What a strange world we all live in, so easy to hurt one another, so easy to block people so you never have to talk to them again, so easy isn't it !
We can fly we can be what ever we want,
When I call you my friend, I mean it from the depth of my heart, when I log out of SL, I still feel you in my heart, I think about you, worry about you, and wonder if you're having a good or bad day. What I'm saying is, I am affected by friends beyond SL

Hair ice (also known as ice wool or frost beard) is a type of ice that forms on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair. It is somewhat uncommon, and has been reported mostly at latitudes between 45 and 55°N in broadleaf forests. The meteorologist and discoverer of continental drift, Alfred Wegener, described hair ice on wet dead wood in 1918, assuming some specific fungi as the catalyst, a theory mostly confirmed by Gerhart Wagner and Christian Mätzler in 2005. In 2015, the fungus Exidiopsis effusa was identified as key to the formation of hair ice.
Formation
Hair ice forms on moist, rotting wood from broadleaf trees when temperatures are slightly under 0 °C (32 °F) and the air is humid. Each of the smooth, silky hairs has a diameter of about 0.02 mm and a length of up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in). The hairs are brittle, but take the shape of curls and waves. They can maintain their shape for hours and sometimes days. This long lifetime indicates that something is preventing the small ice crystals from recrystallizing into larger ones, since recrystallization normally occurs very quickly at temperatures near 0 °C.
The hairs appear to root at the mouth of wood rays (never on the bark), and their thickness is similar to the diameter of the wood ray channels. A piece of wood that produces hair ice once may continue to produce it over several years.
In 2015, German and Swiss scientists identified the fungus Exidiopsis effusa as key to the formation of hair ice. The fungus was found on every hair ice sample examined by the researchers, and disabling the fungus with fungicide or hot water prevented hair ice formation.[1] The fungus shapes the ice into fine hairs through an uncertain mechanism and likely stabilizes it by providing a recrystallization inhibitor similar to antifreeze proteins.

Cheveux de glace
Les cheveux de glace, ou chevelure de glace, sont le phénomène d'apparition de glace sous forme de filaments très fins, par temps de gel, à partir de morceaux de bois mort ou d'autre végétaux. Le phénomène est comparable mais distinct des pipkrakes, issues du sol et plus grossières. Les cheveux de glace sont différents du givre par leur apparence comme par leur formation.
Formation
La formation des cheveux de glace se produit dans des conditions météorologiques particulières : par gel modéré et lorsque le sol, très humide, n'est pas encore gelé. Le phénomène est rare et s'observe plutôt dans les sites ombragés et tôt le matin.
Les cheveux de glace apparaissent sur des végétaux particuliers, comme le bois mort de hêtre ou de chêne. Leur observation donne à penser que l'eau contenue dans le bois est expulsée à travers les pores du bois par son expansion à l'approche du point de congélation, et gèle sous forme de fils très fin au contact de l'air. Le mécanisme pourrait néanmoins être plus complexe et être lié à la présence de champignons sur ces bois en décomposition; en 2015, le champignon Exidiopsis effusa (en) a été identifié comme essentiel à ce mécanisme. La poussée de ces fils de glace peut avoir une force suffisante pour repousser l'écorce d'un bois mort. La formation est très fragile, elle se détruit au toucher ou au souffle et disparait naturellement par fonte ou sublimation si elle est exposée au soleil.
Historique
En 1918 Alfred Wegener évoque que le mycélium sur le bois en décomposition contribue au phénomène. En 2014, Christian Mäztler, physicien de l’université de Berne associé à Diana Hofmann, chimiste et Gisela Preuss, biologiste ont élucidé le mystère de leur formation.

Haareis, manchmal auch Eiswolle genannt, besteht aus feinen Eisnadeln, die sich bei geeigneten Bedingungen auf morschem und feuchtem Totholz bilden können. Anders als Hydrometeore (zum Beispiel Raureifkristalle) entsteht Haareis aus dem im Holz enthaltenen Wasser, nicht aus Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Ähnlich aussehende und häufig nicht genau unterschiedene Phänomene sind Bandeis (engl. ice ribbons, ice flowers) an Pflanzenstängeln und Kammeis (engl. needle ice) am Boden, die beide jedoch anders gebildet werden.
Entstehung
Wissenschaftlich ist die Entstehung des nur selten zu beobachtenden Haareises noch wenig erforscht. 1918 beschrieb der Meteorologe Alfred Wegener Haareis auf nassem Totholz. Er vermutete einen „schimmelartigen Pilz“ als Auslöser, was jedoch von anderen Wissenschaftlern angezweifelt wurde, die rein physikalische Prozesse wie bei der Entstehung von Kammeis als Ursache annahmen.
Eine biophysikalische Studie von Gerhart Wagner und Christian Mätzler bestätigte 2008 Wegeners Vermutung weitgehend. Demnach wird Haareis durch das Myzel winteraktiver Pilze (u. a. Schlauch- und Ständerpilze) ausgelöst, deren aerober Stoffwechsel (Dissimilation) Gase produziert, die das im Holz vorhandene leicht unterkühlte Wasser an die Oberfläche verdrängen. Dort gefriert es und wird durch nachdrängende, beim Austritt aus dem Holz ebenfalls gefrierende Flüssigkeit weitergeschoben. Dies geschieht ausschließlich bei Temperaturen knapp unter dem Gefrierpunkt, wenn das Wasser im Holz noch nicht gefroren ist, es an der geringfügig kälteren Umgebungsluft jedoch gefriert. Eine Randbedingung für die Haareisbildung ist außerdem hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit: Wenn die Luft nicht mit Wasserdampf gesättigt ist, sublimieren die feinen Eiskristalle kurz nach ihrer Bildung an der Holzoberfläche, so dass keine langen Haareiskristalle entstehen können. Eine Reproduktion von Haareis ist in Versuchen solange möglich, wie das Pilzmyzel im Holzkörper nicht abgetötet wird.

I'm going away for a couple of weeks ... gramadoelas! So no internet or reception! Only some places! Please, keep up the good work and post all your beautiful pictures !! Once again a big thank you for each and every comment, favor and award!
Serving you up some wishes of world peace. We can all do our part to make the world a better place. What are you doing on this Earth Day to make your corner of the world better? I will be working in my yard pulling weeds instead of spraying weed killer on them. Then later my daughter and I will plant some seeds and work together in the garden (crossing fingers that the rain won't come).
