The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.
"The frog's coloration is representative of flash coloration. Flash coloration describes when an organism displays certain colors at rest compared to when in motion. In the red-eyed tree frog's case, the frog's startling red eyes are hidden when its eyes are closed allowing it to blend in with leaves. When the frog is startled, it can flash its bright red eyes, orange webbed feet, and blue and yellow lateral stripes, which all serve the purpose of startling predators and allowing the frog time to escape. Although the frog is brightly colored, this does not convey toxicity or aposematism as it may in related tree frog species."

Even without any knowledge of the Dutch language you can guess what "Brandweer" means. Mark how the iron capitals are beautifully crafted in a classic font, perhaps art deco style.
Excellent L&P to add to the Lines and Planes series.
It's about surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.
The endless cycle of idea and action,
brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
knowledge of speech, but not of silence.
El infinito ciclo de las ideas y de los actos,
trae conocimiento de la movilidad, pero no de la quietud;
conocimiento del habla, pero no del silencio.

I know God has a plan. I pray for direction to follow it, patience to wait on it and knowledge to know when it comes.
The internet is a “mirage of knowledge” with an inexhaustible supply of “facts” to confirm any bias. It “encourages not only the illusion that we are all equally competent” but also the illusion “that we are all peers.”4 Since our society is based on the principle that we are all equal, we are encouraged to believe that everyone’s opinion is equally valid, regardless of whether it is based on actual knowledge. Reporters routinely ask ordinary people for their opinions, and “talking heads” on news programs spend hours speculating and pontificating on matters of which they have no direct knowledge, their comments based on presumptions with no attempt even to hide their biases. Any idea of maintaining a clear line between fact and opinion seems to have disappeared.

"Knowledge is an achievement sublime.
A learning experience, one day at a time.
Knowledge is power...even if we
choose not to use it, imperatively.
From the day we are born,
we are blessed with the right
to study our world, to give our minds flight.
To hunger for more, to expand our potential.
Knowledge is something truly essential.
Answers to questions the mind can impart,
nurtures the hunger for knowledge, to start
the process of learning, the beginning of growth,
a personal quest and a personal oath,
to become the very best one can be.
Yes, that is the road I have chosen for me!
It's all up to us...that desire to learn.
An impression within our hearts, it should burn,
and daily, the blessings, upon us will shower.
Always hold to the truth,
that...Knowledge Is Power!"
