"In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf. Some bracts are brightly colored and attracting pollinators.Before understanding what a bract is, it is helpful to understand what it is not.

 

First, it is not a part of the 'flower' by definition.Complete flowers are composed of four parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. A bract is none of these. Some bracts are brightly colored and serve the function of attracting pollinators."

DEW POINT

The dew point is the temperature at which dew would form assuming all other conditions remained the same. The dew point is a function of the air temperature and humidy. The dew point temperature can never be higher than the air temperature. If the dew point temp and air temp are the same, than the humidity must be 100%.

The ancient temple of Athena was a temple dedicated to the godess Athena Polis on the Akropolis in Athens.

It was the most important temple in Athens untill its function after its destruction by the Persians in the 5th century BC, was taken over by the Parthenon and the Erechteion.

Now only remnants of the podium and the Caryatids of this temple remains.

The Caryatids are pilasters in the shape of a female statue..

One of the functions of landscape is to correspond to, nurture, and provoke exploration of the landscape of the imagination. Space to walk is also space to think, and I think that's one thing landscapes give us: places to think longer, more uninterrupted thoughts or thoughts to a rhythm other than the staccato of navigating the city.

The Standard Ten was a model name given to several small cars produced by the British Standard Motor Company between 1906 and 1961. The name was a reference to the car's fiscal horsepower or tax horsepower, a function of the surface area of the pistons. This 1934 Standard 10, WF 6766, is seen arriving at the Pre-War Prescott event on 11th September 2021.

Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.

In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".

The River Ver in Hertfordshire is a chalk stream and has cut, modestly I should say, into the surrounding limestone - just enough to create a path through the Chiltern Hills, and enough for the Romans to build a road here connecting London with the North. The history of the village of Markyate is entirely shaped by this road (and its successors) and all the functions relating to the transport of goods and people. Some houses such as these ones in the foreground have crept up the flanks of the river ("Pickford Hill" in this case), but most stayed down in the valley ground. Up on the hills you would find farms and agriculture. It is also true that small industries have moved in - together with lots of interesting people who decided to leave the big city.

One of my favourite little inland villages in Cornwall is Lerryn, which sits astride the Lerryn River. Lerryn functioned as a port until the early 20th century, by which time the river had silted up. Now it is just home to a number of small boats. A lime kiln dates from the early 1800s. As Cornwall has little limestone of its own it would have been imported and turned into lime in the kiln. It was then used by farmers to help improve the soil of their fields. Much of the surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  

This caught my eye yesterday I like the futuristic vibe.

The Venetian Arsenal at Gouvia is a shipyard built by the Venetians during their rule of Corfu on the west side of what used to be called Govino Bay, the current location of the modern village of Gouvia.

The remains of the old arsenal still exist at the Bay of Gouvia, and are located approximately 8 km from Corfu Town.

The Venetians used the bay as a port and their arsenal was built near the water. The Venetian shipyard features three arched docks which were used to service their two fleets which were stationed in Corfu. The columns, walls and arches of the arsenal survive almost intact but the roof is missing.

The use of the arsenal was officially discontinued when the Treaty of Campo Formio, which was signed on 18 October 1798, signalled the end of the Venetian Republic.

Admiral Ushakov landed his troops at the site of the arsenal and created a military camp there during the Siege of Corfu in 1798. The arsenal also functioned as a base for the French in 1917–1918.

Fotografiert mit einem durchfahrenden Zug.

Die Bahnhofswände wurden abgeschrägt, um den Flächenverbrauch an der Oberfläche während der Bauarbeiten zu reduzieren. Die unbearbeiteten Bohrpfähle bilden die Hintergleiswände. Die Bahnhofsbeschriftung ist in Rot gehalten, ebenso die Lampenschirme. Eine Aluminiumkonstruktion reflektiert das Licht der Lampen und verteilt es so im Bahnhof. An Gleis 2 ist ein Kunstwerk angebracht, das auf die Mangfall und ihre Funktion als Trinkwasserlieferant für München verweist. Gestaltet wurde der Bahnhof von Paolo Nestler.

Das wusste Wikipedia.

 

Photographed with a passing train.

The station walls were bevelled to reduce the amount of space used on the surface during construction. The unprocessed bored piles form the back track walls. The station lettering is in red, as are the lampshades. An aluminum construction reflects the light from the lamps and distributes it in the train station. A work of art is attached to track 2, which refers to the Mangfall and its function as a drinking water supplier for Munich. The station was designed by Paolo Nestler.

Wikipedia knew that.

The Metronome is a 23 m tall functioning metronome in Letná Park, overlooking the Vltava River and the city center of Prague. It was erected in 1991, on the plinth left vacant by the demolition in 1962 of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The metronome was designed by international artist Vratislav Novak.

Although the metronome is functional, it is not always in operation. The site is now mostly a scenic vista and a meeting place for young people. [thx Wikipedia]

Although this photo to my eye was simply about light, shadow, colour and shapes it instantly takes on different meanings for different viewers as a function of one of the shapes being a cross. Punctum indeed!

Spring returns to the Fobbing Marshes. So do we. Not that we've been away much. But if recent walks in sub-zero temperatures and fog were a test of endurance we now look forward to joyous (and wet) walks in temperatures trending upwards. And with the water courses flowing things are stirring and splashing so they need investigating. I'll leave that to Freddie. "Form and Function" as my very knowledgeable Flickr friend wheres_bruce calls it. I'm just hoping my waterproof boots are as good as advertised...

The Horned Grebe regularly eats some of its own feathers, enough that its stomach usually contains a matted plug of them. This plug may function as a filter or may hold fish bones in the stomach until they can be digested.

We've had a string of winter storms lately - good to be prepared and protected.

Thank you so much for taking your time to view, fave, comment and invite!

On the right are the ancient measuring bins.

These bins were essential for the efficient function of a medieval market – first to guarantee the buyer the correct amount (corn, wheat, barley, chestnuts, etc.) and second, no less important, to enable the authorities to collect the appropriate tax at the point of sale. These are Monpazier's bins in the main square. They were filled up from the top, tilted, and their contents were poured via the small ‘gate’ into sacks below. Although often claimed to be original, they have been found to have been 'metricised'. Since metrication was introduced during the French Revolution, the present bins must date from the 1790s at the earliest. This is unlikely to have been a purely ornamental change, so one can reasonably infer that they would also have been in regular use.

 

Thank you to the excellent and wonderfully detailed web-site by Michael Delahaye; well worth a look.

A balanced diet is one that gives the body the nutrition it needs to function properly. In order to get a truly balanced diet, one must have a literal interpretation of this concept.
