This lookout over the Blue Mountains National Park is located in Leura, about 120km west of Sydney, Australia.

Mirabilis jalapa, the marvel of Peru or four o'clock flower, is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis plant, and is available in a range of colors. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful and Jalapa (or Xalapa) is the state capital of Veracruz in Mexico. Mirabilis jalapa is believed to have been cultivated by the Aztecs for medicinal and ornamental purposes.

The flowers usually open from late afternoon or at dusk (namely between 4 and 8 o'clock), giving rise to one of its common names. The flowers then produce a strong, sweet fragrance throughout the night, then close in the morning. New flowers open the following day. It arrived in Europe in 1525. Today, it is common in many tropical regions and is also valued in Europe as a (not hardy) ornamental plant. It is the children's state flower of Connecticut under the name of Michaela Petit's Four O'Clocks.

When I arrived at the far side of the Honeywell Street bridge this morning along my walk to work, it all looked deserted. Long Island City can feel like that sometimes, especially on summer weekends

Concrete pumping is a specialized technique used in the construction industry to move freshly mixed concrete from a ready-mix* truck to the placement area. This process utilizes hydraulic power to transport concrete through a system of pipes and hoses, significantly simplifying the logistics of concrete placement compared to traditional methods like wheelbarrows or crane-lifted buckets.

(*) Ready-mix concrete is concrete that is manufactured in a batch plant and delivered to the job site ready to use. It is ideal for large patios, driveway renovation, pool decks, home foundation slabs, parking lots, and new sidewalk construction.

Certe volte passiamo mesi o addirittura anni alla ricerca di un particolare pezzo... In venti giorni ho avuto la fortuna di trovarne due... certo, il GD-57 lo avrei preferito in versione "normal" ma non si può avere troppo... :)

Sometimes we spend months or even years to find a particular piece to enrich our collection ... In twenty days I was lucky to find two ... Certainly, I would have preferred the GD 57 "normal" but you can not have too ... :)

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.

The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Honeywell Street bridge over the Sunnyside Train Yard

-

Honeywell Street/Avenue consists entirely of a bridge (Honeywell Street bridge) which spans across the Sunnyside Train Yard, in Long Island City, Queens, New York City. The bridge begins at Northern Boulevard and ends at Stillwell Avenue. 1 Honeywell aka The Center Building, is the only property with an address on this street.

Honeywell Street was built in 1910 as a bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad/LIRR (Amtrak) Sunnyside Yard. In 1978, it was closed for structural issues for almost 25 years. Delays in repairs and rebuilding of the bridge along with legal issues were held up until 2002, when work on the 90-year-old span resumed. Honeywell Street reopened on January 17, 2003 after a quarter century.

Status Post Lumbar Surgery

The countdown to the big Christmas Day has begun. And do you have any idea about that? Here I’m going to introduce a first iPhone 4 design smart phone with Android OS: Star A3000 Android V2.1 3.3 inch Capacitive Touch Screen GPS TV WiFi Compass FM smart phone from China phones supplier.

For my Flickr Friends: That's me! I loved playing Mrs. Claus! Everyone thought I was the real McCoy!

As soon as I arrived at the event, children of all ages ran up to hug me and to inquire about my "husband" Mr. Claus! It was an amazing experience. I think I've found my true calling!

Operation Pets Alive (operationpetsalive.org) had a booth at the "International Winter on the Waterway" (iWoW) event, held, November 17, 2012. We had a booth filled with hand-made pet-related crafts (including wonderful handsewn aprons in many patterns), along with a "Polar Express" theme, complete with a perfectly-attired "Mrs. Claus". The booth was a huge success.
