The Lacon Bridge is a continuous through bridge over the Illinois River on Illinois Route 17 at Lacon in Marshall County. Built in 1939, it is one of the oldest crossings of the Illinois River. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1990, and is tentatively scheduled for repairs to the structural steel, painting the entire structure, concrete repairs to the piers and abutments, and repairing the existing lighting in 2023.
This bridge has a distinctive appearance because its top chord and end posts visually seem comparatively smaller than one would expect to the point where they do not look much larger or heavier than the other truss members. As such, from a visual standpoint, all the members and chords on the bridge look to be about the same size. This is quite different from a traditional bridge of this design.
This is one of those bridges that looks exactly like a cantilever truss, with a variable depth truss forming "towers" over the piers, however it appears to lack hinges which means that it functions as a continuous truss, not a cantilever truss. As such, it does not have a suspended span. A series of steel stringer spans provide an approach to the through truss spans.
Marshall County, located in north central Illinois, is primarily an agriculture county. Lacon, the county seat, is the second most populous city in the county behind Henry with a recorded population of 1,878 at the 2020 census.

Hillsboro's Orpheum Theatre opened as the 600 seat capacity Fellis Theatre in the 1920’s. It operated as a vaudeville house with a combination of live acts and movies. It was renamed Orpheum Theatre in 1929. By the early-1940’s it was operated by the Frisina Amusement Co. It ran continuously until 2000 and closed for about two years. In 2002, new seats and DTS stereo was added in addition to marquee restoration.
A new operator took over in 2003 and the theatre is more vibrant than ever with almost a cult following of regular customers from as far away as St. Louis and Springfield, IL. The balcony was converted to a second auditorium in the early-1980’s and is still that way.
Hillsboro is the seat of Montgomery County. This south central Illinois city is located 50 miles south of the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, and 65 miles northeast of St. Louis, Missouri. Health care and social assistance, public administration, and finance and insurance are Hillsboro's largest industries. The population of Hillsboro at the 2020 Census was 5,808, and the population of Montgomery County was 28,288.

Last weekend was probably the longest, continuous spell of hot weather I've seen since I was a young boy and I loved every second of it. A major part of that weekend was kayaking on Loch Eck, something I seem to have picked up a bit of a tan doing :).

This what I believe to be a BMH Marine Siwertell auger-type continuous unloader which has a capacity of 17,000 tonnes per normal working day. The unloader is installed at the Kwinana Bulk Berth No. 4, Kwinana, Western Australia.
This is a "continuous ship unloader" of the "bucket elevator" type. Capacity is 2,500 t/h. It just finished unloading the vessel "Pu Sheng 6" (浦盛6, IMO 3686337), still moored to the pier.
Photo taken from a ferry, in this upload you can see unloading "in action".

Taos Pueblo is an amazing place. It is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the US. Although only minutes away from the town of Taos NM, it has incredible presence and connection with the land, and the unperturbed mountains.
This portrays a wonderful, mysterious alleyway I happened upon in the golden afternoon light. A barely visible turquoise blue door peeks through at the far end of the ancient, slanted and narrowing adobe walls - beckoning... waiting...
In all the years I've been fortunate enough to visit New Mexico, this is the first time I've visited the Pueblo - long overdue. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, we hope that it remains as it is today - with a strong connection to the past and future.
Thanks to Jaro who was our guide that day. I hope I can return soon.
(I now see that this is best viewed in a darkened room to see the subtleties in the shadows :)
Memories of you are running through my head continuously...
Do you know that I am still here... waiting for you?

Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, aye aye
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, aye
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

Trams have operated continuously in Melbourne since 1885.The system is the largest operational urban tram network in the world.
This is a slow shutter speed shot.
The "Blue Water Bridge", a 1938 international bridge between Port Huron, Michigan and Point Edward, Ontario, Canada, is actually two bridges.
The first bridge, built in 1938, is a "Cantilever Truss Bridge". It was built high enough to allow commercial freighters and military vessels to pass beneath, and was 6178 feet (1883m) in length.
Eventually, the bridge was accessed by three major highways, and the traffic became too heavy, so a second bridge was built in 1997 alongside the first bridge, allowing one-way traffic on each bridge. The new bridge was a "continuous bowspring arch" bridge built to look similar to the first bridge.
The bridges are jointly owned by Canada and the US.

It snowed on and off all day today; at times I couldn't see two meters ahead of me. We've had it unconventionally well this year that many were surprised at the above-average temperatures and little snow. Well, here it all comes in a package: snow, wind, snow, wind, and chill, chill, chill. We're expecting a -39 with wind-chill effects in some areas around us (Southwestern Ontario). Still, not complaints. The kids are having the time of their lives and are enjoying every inch of snow... Wish you all a warm weekend! Stay warm...
Beucha church - Bergkirche Beucha.
The hill on which the church stands was continuously excavated from the 15th century onwards, with the consequence that the church now stands on the edge of a near vertical slope.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.
