Detail van witte ficus boom bloem
Elk jaar zie ik ze bloeien hier in de binnenstad waar de ficus bomen tegen de muur groeien , kon er nooit achter komen wat de naam nu van deze prachtig bloem was , maar ben er nu eindelijk achter, heb ook nooit geweten dat een ficus bloemen kon hebben
De bloemen worden omsloten door een structuur die op een vrucht lijkt. De werkelijke vruchten zijn tot 2 cm lang, eivormig en worden rood tijdens rijping.

Detail of white ficus tree flower
Every year I see them blooming here in the city center where the ficus trees grow against the wall, could never find out what the name of this beautiful flower was, but am finally now aware, never knew that a ficus could have flowers to have
The flowers are enclosed by a structure that looks like a fruit. The actual fruits are up to 2 cm long, egg-shaped and turn red during ripening.
Ist das nicht ein Wunderwerk der Natur?
So ein Baum kann eine Höhe 20 bis 40 Meter (selten bis 60 Meter) erreichen und einen Stammdurchmesser bis zu 2 Meter haben. Dieses Exemplar muss schon sehr alt sein. Der Durchmesser seines Stammes misst einiges mehr als 2 Meter.

Week 15/52 Low-Key (8th to 14th April 2020)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The theme this week, Low-key, is uncannily fitting.
Like this Ficus leaf, just emerging from its sheath.
As things improve we all will be able to emerge.
Again into our daily lives.
Hopefully more optimistic.
Appreciative of all the ordinary and everyday.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Never give up Hope.
It is the Light that keeps us alive in our souls.

Aprendiendo a hacer un buen uso del Olympus M.75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II en mano. Después del autofoco (S-AF + MF), usando el anillo de enfoque con Zoom + Peaking para enfocar si hay duda (siempre sobre 1/400s). La tasa de éxito es buena ahora.
Sin recorte ni redución de ruido.

These bridges are not built, they are grown. And it takes almost a decade or more to become strong and sturdy.
In most places around the world, bridges are constructed using concrete and steel as the main building materials. Even in the epic Ramayana when Rama had to cross over to Lanka to save Sita, he built a bridge with mud and stone.
But in Meghalaya, (meaning Abode of Clouds) one of the seven sisters of the North Eastern states of India, bridges are grown or made to grow. The original architects of this natural bridge building technology are the forefathers of the Khasi tribe, one of the three major tribes in this hill state. The other two tribes are the Garos and Jaitias. Though this ancient technology appears to be theoretically simple, practically it is very difficult as it takes a long time to grow a root bridge.
Roots of the rubber tree — Ficus Elastica are the pavements for these natural bridges in the thick forests of Khasi Hills district. It is interesting to note that the districts in Meghalaya are named after the tribes in that area, like East Garo Hills district, West Jaitia Hills district and so on. Strong secondary roots of this rubber tree are manipulated to grow horizontally through the tunnels of hollowed betel nut trunks across the fast flowing rivers
While the construction of modern concrete bridges may take three or four yeas, these types of bridges take very long to develop into a firm bridge. Normally it takes around 10 to15 years, which is the normal construction period. These bridges grow to approximately 50 to100 feet long and have strong and deep roots providing a stable foothold. They can carry up to 50 people at a time. The life of these bioengineering wonders is estimated at 500 years, more than the life span of most of man made modern bridges.
The most famous Umshiang Double Decker root bridge in Nongriat village, south of Cherrapunjee about 70 km from the capital Shillong is estimated to be two centuries old.
This place receives a lot of rain, so wooden bridges rot and decay. But Root bridges are alive and growing and so gain strength over time.

Jingmaham living root bridge near Mawlynnong in the East Khasi Hills, in Meghalaya (India)
When I took these photos, it was the dry season and there was very little water in the river, so it could also be crossed by walking over the rocks.
