This ball lasted over 13 years and survived many catches, throws and the occasional chews. Had to place it in the snow in memory of my best friend, who loved trying to find it in the winter, especially.
Taken for the "Cotton" theme for Macro Mondays. This was a Christmas gift for Cosmo. He's pretty much destroyed this "durable" toy.
Bristlecone pines (Pinus aristata), the most durable living entities on this planet, are known to have achieved lifespans of several thousand years. A native of the American Rocky Mountains, these conifers are found at elevations which exceed 8,000 feet and are often found right at the timberline,11,500 feet. Colorado contains the most easterly found environments for bristlecone pines in the United States.
This is taken on Mount Evans Scenic and Historic Byway, the highest paved road in North America, a grove of remarkable trees whose gnarled trunks and knotty branches have stood here since the Roman Empire ended some 1,500 years ago. These trees are known for their ability to survive in very harsh conditions for a very long time; the oldest known specimen, which is located near Craig, is believed to be at least 2,461 years old.
Hope you all have a wonderful evening and thank your for your visit and support!
This Bennington-style porcelain door knob was shot at a building in Brattleboro, Vermont.
The Bennington pottery first produced richly swirled clay knobs in the mid 1800s. Paired with small rosettes or back plates, they make a stately, yet understated period style door set. The durable glazed knobs were firmly fastened to a solid iron shank in antique iron finish.
Long before tourism hit the Lofoten like a steam ram the islands survived thanks to the riches of the Sea, especially cod which is being dry-frozen by hanging the fish on these scaffolds which are everywhere on the islands. The result is durable, long lasting fish supply which is also considered a delicacy: Torrfisk. Mediterranean cultures know them as bacalao. It was wonderful to see that the fiskemanner (fishermen) are still exercising their ancient trade and skills.
For a magazine I made this photo. It stands for durability and being economical. It was great fun to make this. I had to "snitch" some coins out of the piggy bank of my daughter though hahaha! Hope you like it.
From South African seed, this amazing form of the durable and easy-to-grow Gladiolus dalenii var. dalenii. Gladiolus 'Halloweenie' produces 5' tall branched flower spikes of intense scarlet-orange flowers, each with a bright yellow throat. The flowering show doesn't start here until Halloween.
Huon pine is an extremely durable wood. That is why it was prized in the 19th century for ship building. It was (and still is) very plentiful on the south west coast of Tasmania. In fact a number of early 19th century sailing ships were constructed in Macquarie Harbour on the west coast. Today, it is better known as a preferred timber for expensive furniture.
This red marker buoy was made in the mid 19th century and spent many years in service in the Tamar Channel. Considering its exposure to all weather conditions, it remains in good knick.

The Upgraded B6 Switcher: A Durable “Yard Goat”
Built: 1916 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Juniata Shops, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1957
The addition of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s signature Belpaire firebox, superheaters and power reverse lever made this B6sb switcher one of the most modern, powerful, and efficient 0-6-0’s anywhere. The B6 class as a whole was the most successful of what the Pennsylvania Railroad called their “shifters.” Like most switching engines, No. 1670 led a career of little excitement, but great importance.
Scuttling back and forth, this little “yard goat” spent most of its life breaking down and making up new trains. Its sloped-back tender gave good visibility to the rear – an important feature on a locomotive that would spend half of its life in reverse.
The No. 1670 is one of two surviving Pennsylvania Railroad B6 locomotives and the only B6sb.
Le Cyclamen, symbole d'amour sincère et durable
Selon une des nombreuses légendes qui entourent cette fleur délicate, le roi Salomon portait une cou-ronne de boutons de cyclamens. Mais lorsque les Juifs furent déportés à Babylone, les fleurs se cour-bèrent en disant : « Quand un fils de David montera à nouveau sur le trône et que la couronne reviendra à Jérusalem, nous relèverons la tête. » Dans l’Antiquité et au Moyen Âge, cette plante tubéreuse était supposée faciliter les accouchements, et plusieurs superstitions l’accusaient aussi de provoquer des fausses couches. Depuis la Renaissance, cette fleur gracieuse, modeste-ment penchée en avant, est aussi devenue un symbole d’amour sincère et durable.
De nos jours, elle incarne au Japon le sentiment amoureux par excellence, exactement comme la rose en Occident. Graphique, dotée de pétales mauves ou blancs qui se détachent joliment sur d’épaisses feuilles sombres, le cyclamen a aussi beaucoup inspiré les artistes. Dans les scènes religieuses, les peintres flamands en dessinaient pour représenter l’amour durable du Christ. Léonard de Vinci parsemait également les marges de ses manuscrits de ses corolles.
The Cyclamen, a symbol of sincere and lasting love
According to one of the many legends surrounding this delicate flower, King Solomon wore a crown of cyclamen buds. But when the Jews were deported to Babylon, the flowers bowed, saying, "When a son of David ascends the throne again and the crown returns to Jerusalem, we will lift up our heads." In ancient times and in the Middle Ages, this tuberous plant was believed to facilitate childbirth, and several superstitions also accused it of causing miscarriages. Since the Renaissance, this graceful flower, modestly leaning forward, has also become a symbol of sincere and enduring love.
Nowadays, it embodies the quintessential love feeling in Japan, just like the rose in the West. Graphic, with purple or white petals that stand out nicely against thick dark leaves, cyclamen has also been a great inspiration to artists. In religious scenes, Flemish painters drew them to represent the enduring love of Christ. Leonardo da Vinci also dotted the margins of his manuscripts with his corollas.
Whilst no archaeological material was found in the durable, mineral and easy-to-clean interior, objects from the Chalcolithique (4,720-4,220 ybp) have been found around the site. The lower menhir may be from anywhere between 6,000 and 4,500 ybp and that whole transitional period from the end of the Neolithic into the first ages of metal looks to be valid for this site.
The cavity is 3.20 x 2.30 x 1.90 m The entrance hole is 70 cm in diameter. The outside rim is around 10 cm wide. The rock is granit and the cavity a clean cul-de-sac, so from my understanding must be considered as man made. There seem to be basins above the site and a 2.18 m high menhir stands 30m below on the same 'path'.
Unlike some of the troglodyte sepultures from a broadly similar period in Sardinia, the interior space is curved like a large bowl and, apart from the concentric entrance rim, has no lines of form or structure.
With the menhir close-by, one must expect the area to have been frequented and the great effort to make this cavity cannot have been for the creation of a secret place to hide people or objects - the outcrop is far too dominant.
Describing the acoustic qualities needs to tip from correlation to causation in that the acoustics were the aim of the site and not a by product. Why here? What is it about this section of landscape? ...

My durable, trusty old Pentax died today during this final drop shoot. It far exceeded the 100k shutter actuations guaranteed by the manufacturer. Thank you, my friend. Thankfully, the 50mm f/1.4 is fine and will go on another camera eventually.

A brick with, for British viewers at least, a familiar name. There is a helpful article, published by the Northern Echo, giving a little history of the brick, made by Stanley Brothers and identifying other users of the "trademark" (a manufacturer of bitumen roofing felt and, from 1929, the London Rubber Company). Warning; the Northern Echo page is hopelessly infected with advertisements, all meaningless.
There we have it...

THE MAN WITH TWO HATS
The National Canadian War Memorial in Apeldoorn is called 'The Man with Two Hats'. Ottawa, Canada, has an identical statue symbolising the solidarity between the two countries. The two hats represent war and peace, repression and freedom, life and death, sadness and joy. In fact, many Dutch people regard the Canadians as the true liberators of the Netherlands.

The statue Man with Two Hats stands in Commissioners Park. An explanatory plaque contains the following text:
During the Second World War, Canadian soldiers played a crucial role in the liberation of the Netherlands. With the donation of this monument - an expression of joy and a celebration of freedom - the Netherlands pays lasting tribute to Canada.
A statue identical to this one stands in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. The twin monuments symbolically link Canada and the Netherlands; though separated by an ocean, the two countries will forever be close friends.
Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands unveiled the monument in Ottawa on May 11, 2002, and the other in Apeldoorn on May 2, 2000.

L'homme aux deux chapeaux - Man with two hats
The Man with Two Hats || L'homme aux deux chapeaux
In the City of Apeldoorn, The Man With Two Hats monument symbolizes many dualities. The two hats in and of themselves represent a time when to come through the war with one hat was something of a feat. It represents the end of the horrors of war but in the same vein the peace and freedom that continue to elude many countries today. It symbolizes the two countries of Canada and the Netherlands. The outstretched arms symbolize the liberation of the Netherlands and also the reaching out of country to country, people to people. The visage, one of sadness and deep meditation and also one of serenity and peace. With the donation of this monument, the Netherlands pays a lasting tribute to Canada. A statue identical to this one stands in Ottawa, Ontario. The twin monuments symbolically link Canada and the Netherlands, forever close friends.
Situé dans la ville D’Apeldoorn, le monument « L'homme aux deux chapeaux » symbolise la dualité. Les deux chapeaux représentent ce temps où c'était un exploit de sortir de la guerre avec un chapeau. Ils représentent la fin des horreurs de la guerre, mais aussi la paix et la liberté que ne connaissent toujours pas de nombreux pays aujourd'hui. Ils symbolisent le Canada et les Pays-Bas. Les bras tendus symbolisent la libération des Pays-Bas et l'entraide entre les pays et les gens. Le visage exprime la tristesse et le recueillement, mais aussi la sérénité et la paix. En faisant le don de ce moneument, les Pays-Bas rendent un hommage durable au Canada. Le double de ce monument, situé à Ottawa (Ontario), a été offert au Canada par les Pays-Bas en témoignage d’honneur. Les monuments identiques symbolisent la forte amitié entre les deux pays.
The monument, which was sculpted by Dutch artist Henk Visch, is made of bronze and measures 4.6 metres. Entitled "The Man with Two Hats" (De man met de twee hoeden), it symbolizes the historic bonds between Canada and the Netherlands.

An attractive and durable plant, Tradescantia pallida ’Purpurea' (Purple Heart) is a popular trailing evergreen perennial noted for its remarkable foliage of narrow, pointed, purple leaves, 2-5 in. long (5-12 cm). Arranged alternately along thick, but fragile, purple stems, the leaves are deep royal purple above, and bright violet underneath. Blooming constantly during warm weather with small clusters of bright pink, 3-petalled, pale orchid-pink flowers. 1 in. (2.5 cm), emerge at the stem tips. Tradescantia pallida is a tender perennial which makes a beautiful groundcover. Its sprawling stems root in the moist soil, to create a carpet of ground-hugging foliage. Evergreen in frost-free areas, it dies back with mild freezes, but sprouts back in spring. In colder areas, it may be grown as a bedding annual, in a container or hanging basket, or as a houseplant.
The bridge, planned by the French colonial power in 1899-1902 and built mainly by the Vietnamese among numerous victims, is almost 1.7 km long and has only been allowed for mopeds and pedestrians for many years. The traffic dictates, especially during rush hour, the wearing of a mask or a durable device... crossing the bridge on foot is an adventure in every way.
