Independence Hall, which forms the centerpiece for of the Independence National Park on Chestnut Street between 5th and 6th Streets, was built between 1732 and 1753 to the Georgian style design of Edmund Woolley and Andrew Hamilton, the Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly. It initially served as the Pennsylvania State House from and served as the capitol for the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania until the state capital moved to Lancaster in 1799. But was the events that took place between 1775 and 1787 that earned it the name Independence Hall and its iconic status as the Birthplace of the Nation. It was the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1781 and the Constitutional Convention in 1787, where the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were respectively debated and adopted by America's Founding Fathers.
Facaded in red brick, the hall consists of a central building with bell tower and steeple, reaching 168-feet and 7-1/4 inches at the tip of the spire, attached to two smaller wings which were demolished and replaced twice, most recently in 1898, via arcaded hyphens. The bell tower, consisting of a wooden steeple set atop the three-story brick house, was added in 1828 by William Strickland replacing an earlier rotted wooden one, was the original home of the Liberty Bell
The forms are prepared for pouring the concrete footers that will support the steel structure for the second story addition.

New Mexico has been been in a major drought situation for more than five years.
To see thunderheads like this forming in the afternoon is a major event!
We have finally been getting rain on a regular basis for the past week and I can smell the aroma of the pinon trees in the air.
We actually refer to this as Monsoon Season!

This is the form "lid" showing the layers that make up the rough parabolic shape. Since this is a negative mold, the parabola bulges out, not in. In order to reduce the amount of material removed during the turning process, a very rough parabolic shape was constructed with layers of material. Look closely at the top edge on the left side: I have added a parabolic curve to demonstrate where the actual surface will be once the cutting process is finished.

Here are photos of the tornado forming, along with a description of each.
My friend, Nick Lee, is a storm spotter. He and I were out taking these
photos that day. He is the copyright owner and has given me permission to
share them with you.
Dirk
P.S.: Please use the descriptions somehow in your description of the photos.
Description of photos:
Tornado-1: shows the storm coming around the corner into view.
Tornado-2: Inflow notch seen - this is where the air feeding the updraft was
located at.
Tornado-3 & 4: Tornado on ground getting closer to City of Cullman. At this
point it was passing Good Hope and going through Cullman County.
Tornado-5: Here you can see another vortex forming. What we were witnessing
was a rapid intensification of this storm from an EF2 to a multi-vortex EF4.
Tornado-6: Even though the funnel is hard to see, the tornado was still on
the ground. Here you can see the multiple vortexes spinning around the one
in the middle that looks like it is invisible.
Raku, a revered Japanese art form, embodies simplicity, imperfection, and an intimate connection between the maker and their medium. Originating in the 16th century, it was traditionally used to craft tea bowls for the esteemed tea ceremony. Each piece, be it a tea cup, platter, or teapot, tells a story of fire and clay. The process embraces unpredictability as the objects are removed from the kiln while still molten, subjected to cooling that creates crackled glazes, smoky hues, and an air of serendipity.
The wabi-sabi aesthetic, rooted in the appreciation of transience and imperfection, finds its perfect partner in Raku. Together, they celebrate the beauty of flaws—the uneven edges, the crackled surfaces, the asymmetry that speaks of the artist’s hand and the elements’ influence. Raku is not about perfection but about presence, creating vessels that hold not just tea but the soul of the moment.
The Soul of Raku
In flames it breathes, the clay’s true form,
A dance of chaos, fire-streaked warm.
Crackled lines like life's own face,
Each flaw, a mark of time and grace.
In Raku’s hand, wabi-sabi gleams,
Imperfection woven into dreams.
A tea bowl speaks of transient days,
Beauty found in life's uneven ways.
Haikus
Crackled glaze whispers,
Flames kiss the clay with beauty,
Wabi-sabi’s truth.
Hands shape imperfection,
Kiln’s fire carves life in the clay,
Time’s breath etched within.
Tea cradles its bowl,
Fragile, transient, yet whole,
Raku’s humble soul.

Die Neckarfront ist einer der bekanntesten Orte und eine Touristenattraktion in Tübingen.
Schokoladenseite - Südseite - Neckarfront
Das Ensemble aus mehrstöckigen, giebelständigen Wohnhäusern am Neckar zieht sich von der Eberhardsbrücke flussaufwärts bis zum charakteristischen Hölderlinturm mit der Anlegestelle der Stocherkähne.
Die Eberhardsbrücke, auch bekannt unter dem Namen Neckarbrücke, überspannt den Neckar am östlichen Ende der Platanenallee. Beide Bögen zusammen sind 81 m lang und 13,7 m breit[1]. Die Fahrbahn ist dreispurig. Die Bürgersteige sind wegen der vielen Fußgänger und der Bushaltestellen auf beiden Seiten extra breit (über 2,5 m).

Das Eberhard-Denkmal wurde erst zwei Jahre später fertiggestellt und am 19. Mai 1903 in Gegenwart des württembergischen Königspaares durch Staatsminister von Pischek feierlich enthüllt.
1942 wurde das bronzierte Eberhard-Denkmal, wie so manche Glocke aus den Tübinger Kirchen, als damals übliche Spende für die Waffenproduktion unwiederbringlich eingeschmolzen.

Mit dieser, der südlichen Seite sitzen die Häuser auf der noch in Teilen vorhandenen Stadtmauer. Zum Gesamtbild gehört der die Neckarfront überragende Turm der Stiftskirche. Auf ihrer fluss-abgewandten Seite liegen die Gebäude an der Neckargasse und der Bursagasse. In einem dieser Häuser (Bursagasse 16) befindet sich das Zimmertheater.
Weiter flussaufwärts schließen sich an die eigentliche Neckarfront die Burse und das Evangelische Stift an und schließlich eine weitere geschlossene Hauser-reihe entlang der Neckarhalde. Sie wird überragt vom Schloss Hohentübingen.
Zum Entspannen laden die Neckarmauer, der alte und neue Botanische Garten, und die Platanenallee auf der Neckarinsel ein.
Mit mehr als 500 Professorinnen und Professoren, über 4.600 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, sieben Fakultäten und mehr als 300 Studiengängen
ist sie die zweitgrößte Hochschule in Baden-Württemberg nach der Universität Heidelberg.
Durch die Vielfalt ihrer Studienangebote und ihr hohes Forschungsniveau ist die Universität Tübingen weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannt.
Die rund 27.000 Studierenden prägen das Stadtbild.

Zwischen Eberhardsbrücke und Hölderlinturm führt ein Fußweg entlang der Neckarfront, den neckar-seitigen Abschluss bildet eine mächtige Mauer, deren Krone im Sommer ein beliebter Treffpunkt für Studenten ist.
Den besten Blick auf die Neckarfront bieten die Eberhardsbrücke und die unmittelbar gegenüber liegende Platanenallee auf der Tübinger Neckarinsel.

The Tübingen Neckar Riverfront is really just a row of several storied houses along the riverbank. However, the mix of colors and styles of the large houses add to its charm and is perhaps why it is the most photographed spot in Tübingen. The Neckar Riverfront stretches from Eberhardbridge up the Neckar to Hölderlin Tower and continues to the landing for the “Stockerkähne". And as if all this isn’t picturesque enough, the tower of St. George’s Church peaks above the rooftops of the riverfront houses. Further up the river Neckar, “die Burse” (a historical building that used to be a student dorm) and the Evangelical Seminary sit further back from the riverbank. Another row of charming houses lines the downward slope of the riverfront, only to be upstaged by Hohentübingen Castle.

= Façades sur le Neckar =
a vue du Neckar de Tübingen est en réalité uniquement une rangé de maisons à plusieurs étages le long de la rive du Neckar.
Le rythme des couleurs et des formes des grands bâtiments, font de ceux-ci, l’endroit le plus photographiée de Tübingen. La vue du Neckar s'étend du pont « Eberhardsbrücke » à contre courant, à la tour « Hölderlinturm » et à l'embarcadère des gondoles.
Et - comme si le sujet de la photo n'était pas encore suffisant - la tour de la collégiale dépasse au-dessus des toits.
Plus loin, en remontant le Neckar - un peu en retrait – le batiment « Burse » et le séminaire protestant. Le long de la « Neckarhalde » sui une autre rangée de maisons, dominée par le château « Hohentübingen »

They formed part of the original railway bridge, built at this point across the Thames in 1864, when the London Chatham Dover Railway was extended across the Thames to what was then St Paul's Station.
The railway bridge was designed by Joseph Cubitt, who was also redesigning the railway bridge next door, and was a very ornate design. It was only four tracks wide, so just 20 years later, the second railway bridge was built next to it to increase capacity to St Paul's Station.
In 1923, suburban railway services began to terminate at Waterloo and the St Paul's Bridge was rarely used. In 1985, the old bridge was declared too weak to support modern trains, and was removed — but the supports were left. They were used as platforms for equipment in the recent rebuilding of Blackfriars station.
they originally existed in rows of three . The third pillar in each row was absorbed into supporting the new bridge when it was built.
