The lights and shades A heritage tree is typically a large, individual tree with unique value, which is considered irreplaceable. The major criteria for heritage tree designation are age, rarity, and size, as well as aesthetic, botanical, ecological, and historical value.[1] Heritage tree ordinances are developed to place limits upon the removal of these trees; the ordinances are oriented towards a specific tree, not a woodland.[2] Heritage trees in Singapore are protected by law under the Heritage Trees Scheme adopted on 17 August 2001

Shooting to the color. Color is very important in our lives. It brings an irreplaceable layer of information and complexity to photography, but for me, I find it fascinating to try to photograph color when color itself is the protagonist of the photograph.
... Freedom Light'
The Great Light is one of the largest optics of its kind ever built in the world, and is around 130 years old. Weighing 10 tonnes and measuring 7 metres tall, the optic is a unique maritime heritage object with significance to Belfast's economic, maritime and industrial past. It is totally irreplaceable and is an exceptionally rare maritime artefact. It produced one of the strongest lighthouse beams ever to shine - a truly GREAT LIGHT.
Water, an essential and irreplaceable source for our survival.
Nature, plants, trees, our lungs.
Even when it is little respected, it never turns its back on us and forgives us.

O'Donovan Rossa Bridge and The Four Courts along the River Liffey quayside in Dublin.
The Four Courts is Ireland's main courts building and was built between 1796 and 1802 by renowned architect James Gandon, who built The Custom House.
The Four Courts were seized by Commandant Ned Daly's 1st Battalion during the Easter Rising in 1916. They survived the bombardment by British artillery that destroyed large parts of the city centre, however in 1922 they were gutted as part of the Irish Civil War. Republican rebels led by Rory O'Connor who opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty, seized the building. The new Irish government under the Chairman of the Provisional Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Army, Michael Collins was forced to attack the building to dislodge the rebels provoking a week of fighting in Dublin. In the process of the bombardment the historic building was destroyed. Most dramatically however, when the anti-Treaty contingent were surrendering, the west wing of the building was obliterated in huge explosion, destroying the Irish Public Records Office which was located at the rear of the building. It has been alleged that the Republicans deliberately boobytrapped its priceless Irish archives, which were stored in the basement of the Four Courts. Nearly one thousand years of irreplaceable archives were destroyed by this act. However, the insurgents, who included future Irish Taoiseach Sean Lemass denied this accusation and argued that while they had used the archive as a store of their ammunition, they had not deliberately mined it. They suggest that that the explosion was caused by the accidental detonation of their ammunition store during the fighting.
Its exterior still shows the effects of the events of 1922, with its facade containing bullet holes, which deliberately were not removed to remind people of its complex history.

I was watching Malibu burn live on tv today ("news at 11"), horrified at the incredible destructive visual beauty of wildfires. Interested also because my son had to fight in the last SoCal fires and, finally, I was relieved when I heard that he didn't have to go down this time. Watching the fires "live" is like watching the war "live". I don't want to get desensitized to destruction, so I was ruminating over what "stuff" I would take if I had to choose. I realized that the material textures of my life are things that are worth nothing monetarily.....gifts from loved ones, pieces from family members long passed, things i picked up here and there, all "stuff" I couldn't choose over the practical---my computer HD and photo albums and "important" documents. The things left behind all would be irreplaceable....the silly pieces of paper and plaster and pottery and dried vegetation.
This is what must hurt most for people who lose homes--the concrete evidence of memories.
I will hope for better times when we can fight fires, and earthquakes, and tornadoes and not wars and where people will never lose the tangible evidence, the "silly" things that mark that we were here.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Southern California this fire season.
Gratitude is the word for the end of this year, as for being here and having survived this pandemic and the irreplaceable human loss this virus caused to all of us. We have a mission to be better for them all!
I wish everyone a Very Happy Christmas! 🎅

Got to love a repeating pattern. Sadly these tiles are gradually being covered over and I presume damaged by attaching memorials; which is fair enough, it is a cathedral after all. I find myself sad for the irreplaceable tile though.
Maybe the loss of the beauty of the tile connects us with the lost unknown individual expressed by the memorial.
Inside the museum there was this nice little chapel, they had to remove the alarm system to shoot and it, it was nerve wrecking because these items are 100% irreplaceable

Each choir stall had a different carving - and the fronts and backs were all different too. I only photographed a few of them.
The Choir Stalls are of special interest and value to Symondsbury people – the whole of the carvings, with the exception of four panels in the Clergy stalls were executed by amateurs within the Parish, namely Rev. C.F.L. Sweet, Mr. Sidney Cookson, and Mr. Ernest Hutchings and are therefore irreplaceable.
Rev. G. Sweet was drowned whilst punting at Oxford, August 7th, 1919, the day following his wedding, aged 29 years.
I think at one time or another, it's pretty normal to feel like things are bigger than you are. Things that were as far away in your mind as they could be can suddenly feel as if they are looming all around you, filling your entire existence. It's important to remember that you are not alone in that feeling, and that as huge as they seem right now, rest assured that situation will change. How you and I handle those situations is directly related to their outcome, and inevitably shows the true character of the person faced with that can of worms. Making lemon tarts out of lemons, if you will.
One of my fine art photog friends and I decided to do a shoot at this amazing location about 3 hours from where we live. At 2 a.m. we set off driving west in a car filled with cameras, some outfits and a model and arrived at the Great Salt Plains at just before daybreak. As the sun crept over the horizon with white-yellow tendrils and we watched the night fade from the sky (complete with a beautiful full moon) I was reminded in the most sublime way why I love doing this. These moments are irreplaceable.

Dear Kingsley,
When we met you last summer you were near death. As you may remember, you were a fully adult male who hadn't been neutered and yet so emaciated that you weighed only a shocking 5.1 pounds (2.3 kg). You were too weak to do much of anything, blood work showed that most of your organs were not functioning properly, you had every intestinal parasite known to man and were so flea ridden that you were severely anemic. We didn't want to tell you this but we were pretty sure you weren't going to make it.
Thankfully, you proved us wrong. You now weigh a slightly chubby 13 pounds (we can't resist giving you treats), are completely healthy and are the delight of the entire practice. Your antics make us laugh every day. You are the coolest, chillest, most social cat we've ever met. You are also the clumsiest (sorry, but it's true) cat imaginable and you know nothing about personal space. These things just add to your charm.
Today is a big, big day for you. You are about become part of a new family who will cherish you as much as we do. On this happy day we won't dwell on the sappy stuff like what a huge presence you are and what a huge void you'll leave. No need to mention you are a one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable goofball who has wormed your way deep into all our hearts. We'll just concentrate on how proud of you we are and grateful for the time we've had with you.
Wishing you all the best, dear Kingsley,
Kerri and all the rest of your fans at Carnegie.
Travelling around Iceland was an experience of a lifetime. Camping every night on some of the most breathtaking landscapes like Skogafoss waterfall is something irreplaceable. I’ve always loved the idea of implementing something human in my landscape photography not because I want to show “how small people are in the face of nature”, but instead that we are only part of something much bigger. We are nature, after all.
This photo is part of my ICELAND project.

Let us look for secret things
somewhere in the world,
on the blue shore of silence
or where the storm has passed,
rampaging like a train.
There the faint signs are left,
coins of time and water,
debris, celestial ash
and the irreplaceable rapture
of sharing in the labor
of solitude and the sand.

Each friendship offers something totally unique and irreplaceable. Each friendship ultimately makes us who we are. That's why we spend so much time to maintain these relationships...
My alarm rings, but I'm so sleepy. Still, I open my tents entrance without moving out of the sleeping bag, unsure what I want to see out there - clear starry skies or just some clouds so I can go back to sleep. After all - it's the first, I put on my clothes and get out.
It's the first time I've ever seen actual color in the Milky Way with naked eye. I shoot for around 2 hours which are just irreplaceable - and I've secretly hoped for clouds :)

Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, is known for its Göreme National Park, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.The first period of settlement within the region reaches to Roman period of Christian era. The area is also famous for its fairy chimneys rock formations, some of which reach 40 meters (130 feet) in height. Over thousands of years, wind and rain eroded layers of consolidated volcanic ash, or tuff, to form the sweeping landscape. From the 4th to 13th century AD, occupants of the area dug tunnels into the exposed rock face to build residences, stores, and churches which are home to irreplaceable Byzantine art. More than 500,000 tourists visit the region each year.

Priceless irreplaceable Baltimore and Ohio rolling stock rots away on "display" at the B&O Museum.
There is no pride in the displays at this place. Every time I return to Baltimore the equipment looks even worse.

This rare surviving B&O SD35 should be an example of the pride of B&O locomotion; instead it is a pitiful display of urban blight.

So, once upon a time there was a color film put out by Agfa called Ultra 50. To give you a rough idea of timeline, by the time I got into photography in 2002 this film had already been discontinued but not by that many years. It was not readily available but still turned up now and again in either unexpired or only slightly expired statuses. I don't know that there had ever been a film like Ultra 50, nor do I think there was ever a film like it. It had cartoonish levels of color saturation. It made Fuji Velvia look drab by comparison. It was something else indeed. Fast forward to a couple years ago and I came across a couple rolls of 120. The stuff had expired in the late 90s or early 2000s if I remember correctly. So I made sure to snatch it up and squirrel it away. One big challenge of such films is you rarely know their provenance. An old roll of film may have spent the intervening decades in the boot of a car or cold stored. It remains a question mark until you get around to exposing it. But by the time you get your results back to tell you if it was good or not, you've done gone and shot the roll. Thankfully in this case I had a couple rolls from the same source, so I had one roll I could shoot and gauge the health of the film and then a second roll to follow up with. I shot that first roll a couple years back through my pinhole, making images around Portland. I figured if the roll was skunky nothing I was photographing was irreplaceable. My usual MO is to overexpose a roll of color by 1 stop per decade expired. This film was pushing two decades expired so I rated it at ISO 12. Those negatives then got pushed in development - a standard process we use here for extremely old films - and they looked more than healthy. If anything they were a bit overdone with the overexposure and then the push. So I made a mental note of that with the remain roll I had. I finally got to that roll a couple weeks ago with a trip to the Cedar Creek Grist Mill. I had not been there in many years but the annual cider pressing was set to happen and it seemed like a good time for a return visit. Sadly the cider press was canceled due to low water levels but we opted to head out anyway. Amidst the pouring rain, we had tons of fall color to enjoy and I figured why not shoot this other roll of Ultra 50. Once again I rated it at ISO 12 for two stops of overexposure but this time opted to develop it normally. While not perfectly healthy in terms of the color of the film base and its clarity, nonetheless the film looks remarkably good. This image is more or less a straight scan of the negative with very little work in post.

"Yes, wish I could take my fleece off !"
Two Herdwick sheep, probably a mother and her lamb, resting in the shade in the Lake District, close to Crummock Water. They looked contented enough, but all that wool must be so hot in this weather we're having. They didn't mind me taking their photo at all... very nice to be so close. I love sheep as you might know. Have to be very quiet and calm around them.
Herdwick sheep are the ‘gardeners’ of the Lake District and are vital to the maintenance of the landscape we know and love. They graze on a wide range of plants across the vast acres of the fells – everything from heather to bilberry and bracken, which keeps the scenery as we know it.
The name "Herdwick" is derived from the Old Norse herdvyck, meaning sheep pasture. The lambs stay with their mothers and graze close to their farm so they can learn where it is they call ‘home’ and where not to stray too far from! Farmers call this being “heafed” to the fell, something that has been bred into them over hundreds of years. This is why the breed is said to be irreplaceable – other sheep would wander up the fells and not know to come back down. They are very hardy and can live in severe cold which is common on the fells, although not on this particular day or in the heatwave we're having now.

For scale, the iron grille is over a tunnel big enough to drive a small steam engine through.
When I first started exploring the quarry, only a year or two after it was closed, this tunnel went right through, and emerged by a little blast shelter hut, in which I found an extremely fine specimen of Pyrites, which I took to school. It was donated to the glass case of minerals and gems which was in the Geography department.
For all I know it's still there.

This film shows pretty much how the quarry looked when I ran wild in it as a teenager in the first few years when it shut down, before the auction and the scrapmen, and before the real destruction of the pumped storage scheme. Was it really necessary to destroy so much irreplaceable industrial archaeology to hollow out the mountain to dubious local benefit?

No importaba habernos levantado a las cinco de la mañana en Calatayud ni haber recorrido casi mil kilómetros. Ni siquiera el hambre y la sed acumuladas eran obstáculo suficiente como para renunciar a la idea de fotografiar al tren de PTG Tours recién llegado a la estación de Zafra. Y de nuevo anduvimos al borde del desastre porque tuve el tiempo justo para hacer esta foto y contemplar como el tren arrancaba para dejar la composición en otra zona de la estación y acercar las locomotoras a la vía en la que repostaron gasoil. Viendo esta foto más de cuatro meses después me alegro mucho de haber llevado el trípode en aquel viaje, un artefacto al que casi siempre considero un engorro pero que en estas situaciones es insustituible.
It didn't matter that we woke up at five in the morning in Calatayud or traveled nearly a thousand kilometers. Even the accumulated hunger and thirst were not enough of an obstacle to give up the idea of photographing the newly arrived PTG Tours train at the Zafra station. And again we were on the brink of disaster because I had just enough time to take this photo and watch the train start to leave the composition in another area of the station and bring the locomotives closer to the track where they refueled diesel. Seeing this photo more than four months later I am very happy to have taken the tripod on that trip, an artifact that I almost always consider a nuisance but that in these situations is irreplaceable.
With a dearth of outings over the last couple of weeks here's another image that has been re-worked and I think improved from the original upload almost 5 years ago.
(Mostly) Original commentary
There's nothing like the sound of levers being thrown, the clank of pegs and the ting-ting coming from the signal box. And even with the doors shut against a bitingly cold frost all this could still be heard at the end of Wellingborough up platform on 10th December 1976.
Meantime, adding a backing track all of its own, is Sulzer no. 25125 gurgling away as it does a spot of shunting coal wagons back into the yard. Irreplaceable.

Country houses of the late Tudor and early Jacobean period comprise a distinctive group of buildings which differ in form, function, design and architectural style from country houses of both earlier and later date. Built after the dissolution of the monasteries they are the product of a particular historical period in which a newly-emerged Protestant elite of lawyers, courtiers, diplomats and other officials, mostly with close contacts at court, competed with each other to demonstrate wealth, taste and loyalty to the sovereign, often overstretching themselves financially. Their houses are a development of the medieval hall with flanking wings and a gatehouse, often looking inwards onto a courtyard; later examples tend to be built outwards, typically on a U- or H-plan. The hall was transformed from a reception area to an entrance vestibule and the long gallery and loggia were introduced. Many houses were provided with state apartments and extensive lodgings for the accommodation of royal visitors and their retinues.
Country houses of this period were normally constructed under the supervision of one master-mason or a succession of masons, often combining a number of designs drawn up by the master-mason, surveyor or by the employer himself. Many designs and stylistic details were copied from Continental pattern-books, particularly those published in the 1560s on French, Italian and Flemish models; further architectural ideas were later spread by the use of foreign craftsmen. Symmetry in both plan and elevation was an overriding principle, often carried to extremes in the Elizabethan architectural `devices' in which geometric forms were employed to express religious and philosophical ideas. Elements of Classical architecture were drawn on individually rather than applied strictly in unified orders. This complex network of influences resulted in liberal and idiosyncratic combinations of architectural styles which contrasted with the adoption of the architecture of the Italian Renaissance, and with it the role of the architect, later in the 17th century. About 5000 country houses are known to have been standing in 1675; of these about 1000 are thought to survive, although most have been extensively altered or rebuilt in subsequent centuries to meet new demands and tastes. Houses which are uninhabited, and have thus been altered to a lesser degree, are much rarer. Surviving country houses of the late Tudor and early Jacobean period stand as an irreplaceable record of an architectural development which was unique both to England and to a particular period in English history characterised by a flourishing of artistic invention; they provide an insight into politics, patronage and economics in the early post-medieval period. All examples with significant surviving archaeological remains are considered to be of national importance.
Despite later additions and alterations, Hall Place is a well preserved example of a mid-16th century Country House. It incorporates re-used medieval carved stone and some fine 16th century masonry work. The site will contain archaeological and environmental evidence relating to the history and use of the house and its medieval predecessor.
This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 30 March 2015. This record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes a mid-16th century country house, built on the site of an earlier medieval manor house, with 17th century alterations and additions. It is situated on low-lying, gently sloping ground between Bourne Road and the River Cray in Bexley.
The house is in two adjoined portions; the northernmost is 16th century and forms a half H-plan whilst that towards the south is a 17th century addition forming a quadrangle. It is orientated NNW to SSE. The northern portion is two storeys high with a Great Hall at the centre and two wings projecting at right angles toward the NNW. It is partly faced with a chequer pattern of stone and flints, above which are a cornice, parapet and slate covered roof. The central doorway in the north front has a basket arch in a moulded-stone architrave surround with a fanlight. On each side is a tall canted bay rising the whole height of the building and lit by eight windows. The wings are gable-ended and each has one window facing north. All the windows are casements with stone mullions and have hoodmoulds. The west front includes a projecting octagonal turret at the south end. The wings each have one long room on the ground floor and are reached by a cross passage with timber-framed walls. A central doorway leads into the Great Hall, which has a flat ribbed ceiling. The southernmost room on the upper storey of the west wing originally served as a chapel and includes a stone fireplace.
The southern 17th century portion of the house is of two storeys with a large attic. It is built of red brick with a tiled roof. Between the two floors is a string course and above is a wooden modillion eaves cornice. The main (south) frontage is of ten bays with sash widows, those to the ground floor in brick arcading with stone keystones above. In the roof are five pedimented dormer windows. The central doorway has a wooden architrave surround and pediment above. The north side of the courtyard, which is the south front of the central 16th century wing, has a red brick tower of four storeys capped by an octagonal lantern.
Hall Place replaced an earlier medieval manor house, which is likely to have stood on the same site. The manor dated to at least AD 814 but is first mentioned in the 13th century. The current building incorporates reused medieval carved stone. It was built in 1537-40 by Sir John Champneys, a merchant who held the position of Lord Mayor of London in 1534. It was altered and enlarged by his son, Justinian who inherited the property in 1556. Robert Austen, a London merchant knighted in 1660, extended the southern part of the house in red brick. Hall Place remained in the Austen family until 1772 when the estate passed to Sir Francis Dashwood. The Dashwood family owned the estate for the next 150 years and during some of this time let the house out as a private school. From about 1870, the property was let to a series of tenants, the last of whom was the Countess of Limerick who lived at Hall Place from 1917 until 1943. The property was bought in 1926 by James Cox Brady, who sold it to Bexley Council in 1935. The house has latterly been used to accommodate Bexley Museum and Bexley Local Studies Centre.
In 2006, partial excavation recorded structural evidence for the medieval and later manor house. Medieval pottery sherds have been recovered from the river bank to the south.
Hall Place is Grade I listed. It is within the bounds of a Grade II registered park and garden.
The Great Light is one of the largest optics of its kind ever built in the world, and is around 130 years old. Weighing 10 tonnes and measuring 7 metres tall, the optic is a unique maritime heritage object with significance to Belfast's economic, maritime and industrial past. It is totally irreplaceable and is an exceptionally rare maritime artefact. It produced one of the strongest lighthouse beams ever to shine - a truly GREAT LIGHT
he huge Fresnel Hyper-Radial lenses of the Great Light served two lighthouses over approximately 127 years and were the largest lenses ever made in the world. The construction of the optic involved two of the most significant lighthouse optic manufacturers in the world – Barbier and Fenestre, and the Chance Brothers.
The Great Light’s lenses were originally made in 1887 for Tory Island Lighthouse, situated off Donegal. The glass lenses were made at the famous Saint-Gobain glass works in France, and then taken to the lighthouse optic manufacturers, Barbier and Fenestre, in Paris. Here the original optic was made with 18 lenses, 6 in each of three tiers (triform) covering 60 degrees. The lenses are called Fresnel lenses as the design was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel in 1823. Fresnel had invented a way of magnifying and refracting light into a powerful beam we now associate with lighthouses. The Fresnel lens revolutionised lighthouse technology.

Jack: "But we're the only ones who can lift a finger right now. C'mon, Janet. Something has to be done...."
You must burn. Burn higher.
Burn for everything you have ever wanted. For everything you have ever lost, for every crack in your heart and every fraction of every irreplaceable moment.
Burn high for love.
For fear. For life.
Burn as fast and as long as you can.
You must burn, burn higher.
Because nothing in this world will kill you faster than a dying fire.

大恭敬心是无尚法宝，是觉悟的根本, 是破除迷障的火光。
Great reverence is irreplaceable treasure, is the fundamental of awakening, is the light that get rid of the maze.
Taken walking home from Llanberis earlier this year, in autumn after walking round Llyn Padarn. The zig-zags were the old path to work of the quarrymen, and used to zig zag all the way from beside the lake. Some years ago the bottom stretch was declared unsafe, and shut, and now a newer path goes up through the adjacent woods, on the original hillside.
The white house, Glan y Bala, is one of the former managers houses - there are three others.
When I was a teenager there used to be a very beautiful and ancient slate slabbed bridge, Bont y Bala, at the top of the river going into the next lake, Llyn Peris. And a great swimming place with a deep pool and a grassy bank you could dive off, where on a hot day it was crowded with swimmers. You could of course swim in Llyn Peris then, and the upper lake, Marchlyn Mawr was beautiful to swim in too. At some point the con was done and we lost priceless, irreplaceable things like this and gained the Electric Mountain Centre, which was "given' to the people of Llanberis as some - inadequate - compensation, then slyly taken back and now even more slyly has set itself up in competition with local businesses in the village - selling crafts, outdoor gear and operating a cafe. Far from its original purpose, it is now diverting tourist revenue from within the village and is a leech on the economy of Llanberis.
Sometime, we experience the loss in the life. It may be a person, favorite thing, or own precious memories. Those are irreplaceable.
At that time, we cannot resist.
At that time, we might see despair.
At that time, does the flower become a little hope?
Until my visit to St Ives in Cornwall this year, I didn’t know that the RNLI* operated a lifeguard service on selected beaches across the UK.
As well as running a full-on 24-hour lifeboat service at St Ives, here on Porthmeor beach they also keep a watchful eye on surfers who come from miles around to enjoy the sport – no doubt reassured by the presence of the lifeguards.
RNLI lifeguards are qualified in lifesaving and casualty care, and must be able to swim 200 metres in under 3½ minutes, and run 200 metres on sand in under 40 seconds (try it, and see how you do!) They monitor sea conditions and set up the appropriate flags, watch the people on the beach and in the water, and they also offer safety advice in situ and in school classrooms. It's all part of the (unique and irreplaceable) service.
* If you're from overseas, let me tell you that the RNLI is the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, which runs a globally renowned sea rescue service around the coast of the British Isles. Founded in 1824, it's a charity that's funded by public donations; it receives no government grant at all.
