This is my neighbour who lives across the street. She had someone build this little food pantry and we are going to put non-perishable food items in it for those who come and go past our homes. Anyone can contribute or take food. I think this is a fabulous idea!
The new even greener ‘Tesco Express’ has only taken 14 days from Southampton Docks, travelling at less than walking pace with plenty of breaks. Poor old Hubert, the former conversational Latin speaking horse has found little use for his language skills since Britain formerly became Little Britain and the cost of diesel doubled. But at least the green agenda has been satisfied, but sadly at the expense of the perishable fruit within the containers which is now well past its ‘best by’ date - it’s all bananas.
"This Saturday, May 12, US letter carriers pick up donations of food that people have set out by their mailboxes. These donations are brought back to the Post Office and loaded unto trucks provided by local food pantries."
"Sixteen percent of all Americans are at risk of hunger—uncertain where their next meal may be coming from. That includes 1 in 5 children under the age of 18, plus 4 million seniors who are forced every day to choose between paying a utility bill and buying food."
(nalc.org)
Be sure to set out your non-perishable food-including pet food-near your mailbox so letter carriers like my hubby can help feed the hungry!
*I'd love to see my Flickr friends post images of food to remind others of the NALC Food Drive*

The concept translates into the archetypical lighthouse conical shape, reduced to its simplest expression and conformed to the lifeguard stand proportions and wrapped in aged wood. The Beacon will act as a temporary drop-off location for non-perishable items such as canned food or clothes.

Plain of Jars, Site 1 near Phonsovan in Laos.
The Plain of Jars (near Phonsovan) is a megalithic archaeological landscape in Laos. Scattered in the landscape of the Xieng Khouang plateau, Xieng Khouang, Lao PDR, are thousands of megalithic jars. These stone jars appear in clusters, ranging from a single or a few to several hundred jars at lower foothills surrounding the central plain and upland valleys.
The Xieng Khouang Plateau is located at the northern end of the Annamese Cordillera, the principal mountain range of Indochina. Initial research of the Plain of Jars in the early 1930s claimed that the stone jars are associated with prehistoric burial practices. Excavation by Lao and Japanese archaeologists in the intervening years has supported this interpretation with the discovery of human remains, burial goods and ceramics around the stone jars. The Plain of Jars is dated to the Iron Age (500 BC to AD 500) and is one of the most important sites for studying Southeast Asian prehistory. The Plain of Jars has the potential to shed light on the relationship between increasingly complex societies and megalithic structures and provide insight into social organisation of Iron Age Southeast Asia’s communities.
More than 90 sites are known within the province of Xieng Khouang. Each site ranges from 1 up to 400 stone jars. The jars vary in height and diameter between 1 and 3 metres and are all without exception hewn out of rock. The shape is cylindrical with the bottom always wider than the top. The stone jars are undecorated with the exception of a single jar at Site 1. This jar has a human bas-relief carved on the exterior. Parallels between this ‘frogman’ at Site 1 and the rock painting at Huashan in Guangxi, China have been drawn. The paintings, which depict large full-frontal humans with arms raised and knees bent, are dated to 500 BC - 200 AD .
From the fact that most of the jars have lip rims, it is presumed that all stone jars supported lids, although few stone lids have been recorded; this may suggest that the bulk of lids were fashioned from perishable materials. Stone lids with animal representations have been noticed at few sites such as Ban Phakeo (Site 52). The bas-relief animals are thought to be monkeys, tigers and frogs. No in situ lid has ever been found.
One of the first signs of winter, aside from holiday lights, is roasted chestnuts sold on city streets. Slowly roasted, the chestnut, which is more like a starch than a nut, makes the perfect sweet and savory snack. Plus it’s healthy: low in fat and calories; full of fiber, calcium, and vitamin C.
Since chestnuts are highly perishable, they need to be eaten soon after purchasing them, and they should be stored in a breathable bag in the refrigerator.
1 Corinthians 15 53: English version (+ continuation, which makes it a bit more hopeful) below:
53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
One of several temporary art installations for the Vancouver 2014-2016 Biennale. A sculpture by Canadian artist Cosimo Cavallaro.
The sculpture is located in Charleson Park on the south side of False Creek in Vancouver BC. This is the 3rd Biennale exhibition in Vancouver. This exhibition is titled "Open Boarders / Crossroads Vancouver".
“The sculptures in Love Your Beans break the boundaries that exist between objects and humans. They compel one to touch them, crossing borders when you allow yourself to be led by your senses. Love Your Beans is a simple shape that is easily understood as a womb, a place of comfort one seeks solace. Open borders is an acceptance of ones self, allowing yourself to exist without judgement.” - Cosimo Cavallaro
According to Cavallaro, the bean is the truest shape to create, a shape that comes about naturally through process. Unlike a perfect circle that can be traced, a bean is an organic shape, one that cannot be duplicated and one that changes with each person that creates it.
Love Your Beans comes as a turning point for Cavallaro. Opposed to the idea of creating lasting artworks, Cavallaro chose to work with perishables (Cheese Room, Chocolate Jesus) and found unexpected beauty in the process of destruction. Working in this medium for many years, Cavallaro experienced a sudden shift in perspective, as he realised he had no more anger to express.
Cavallaro, driven to produce art that speaks truth, recognized how easy it is to work within certain patterns. The artist moved away from the familiar theme of destruction, venturing towards the foreign theme of love and the playful nature of Jelly Beans.

The night closes in as 50003 Temeraire awaits departure from Teignmouth with the 18:45 Penzance Paddington 'up Perishables' of 21st July 1985. Holidays at this time were always spent chasing the Class 50s, staying in either Teignmouth or Exeter. Seeing this working was the last picture of the day before retiring to the B&B for a nightcap! That summer I was anxiously awaiting A level results, the Class 50s provided a very nice distraction.
"Das Buddhistische Haus", built 1923-1926;
Edelhofdamm 54
The Buddhist house, is a Theravada Buddhist temple complex (Vihara) in Frohnau, Berlin. It is considered to be the oldest and largest Theravada Buddhist center in Europe.
Entering the Elephant Door the visitor faces 73 steps up to reach the main building. The stair symbolizes the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path to salvation from the suffering of the perishability.

The present lighthouse has been in operation since 1884. This was the rear range light for the harbour, the front range light is no longer there. The lighthouse is white tapered wooden tower, with a red lantern. It was a guide for coastal steamers transporting non-perishable goods into the only protected harbour on the western side of Cape Breton Island. Over the years gypsum was shipped from here, there was also a lobster and salmon canning factory right next to the lighthouse.
Tower Height: 14.3meters (47ft)
Light Height: 13.4 meters (44ft) above water level
In my work I deal with the artistic transformation of motifs from
everyday life as well as the social phenomena of our time. I am
interested in how human beings, with their standards and basic
values, behave, present themselves and move within the social
fabric. In the tension between its qualities and shortcomings, the
human figure is often the starting point for my reliefs and
sculptures. The respective relationship of the human being towards
him or herself or towards nature can be read in the current forms
of presentation and in those of the last decades. The archetype of
society, the smallest nuclear of a social life, is the image of “father,
mother, child”, an image that not least due to the long and very
loaded visual tradition of the “holy family”, is deeply rooted in our
society. (*Nativity Scene*, 2011).
Fragments of images and sculptures from past epochs and periods
constantly recur in the motifs. This results in hybrids containing
images of what is occurring in the currently omnipresent multimedia
world. Through the realization of the images using the archaic
technique of carving, motifs and visual language, which seemed to
have long been discarded, they reveal themselves to be unexpectedly
topical and controversial. Particularly with regard to the topics and
images of mundane everyday life, the iconic aspect of today’s culture
with its often century-old symbolism, emerges.
At first glance, I frequently use the same effects as the media and
internet images we are surrounded by: a superficially-oriented, slick
wrapping that is appealing yet often turns out to be soulless
hollowness. As a result, there is a confounding break between
traditional appearance and the images of digital modernism, which
at best leads to a deceleration of images in our fast-paced age.
Contemporary representations, which in their iconographic visual
language are for example reminiscent of medieval saints, are
frequently produced. They are sometimes joined by animals, which
are not only symbols for the human psyche but also references to the
long-felt guilt-ridden relationship between humans and nature.
In order to orientate themselves in the present and to interpret it, the
viewers must be aware of the past and things that have passed. The
examination of the political challenges of our present and future
often leads to a composition that is characterized by a feeling of
perplexity and powerlessness. This frequently results in super-
elevations and ironic metaphors. The works, which often appear to
hover weightlessly, deal with nothing less than the questions of our
time, existence and perishability
"Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers."— Wallace Stevens
Perishability in a photograph is important in a picture. If a photograph looks perishable we say, " I'm glad I have that moment."

.... First Lutheran has opened a Little Free Pantry in front of the church on the north-east corner, open 24/7. People can take what they need or donate non-perishable food items to help keep the pantry stocked. The project's goal is to enhance food security in the Bond Street and Ryerson University neighborhood and help build a caring and supportive community ....
In a certain sense, Adam's sin was a sin arising from inquisitiveness, if such an expression be admissible. Originally, Adam saw contingencies in the aspect of their relationship to God and not as independent entities. Anything that is considered in that relationship is beyond the reach of evil; but the desire to see contingency as it is in itself is a desire to see evil; it is also a desire to see good as something contrary to evil. As a result of this sin of inquisitiveness - Adam wanted to see the "other side" of contingency - Adam himself and the whole world fell into contingency as such; the link with the divine Source was broken and became invisible; the world became suddenly external to Adam, things became opaque and heavy, they became like unintelligible and hostile fragments. This drama is always repeating itself anew, in collective history as well as in the life of individuals.
A meaningless knowledge, a knowledge to which we have no right either by virtue of its nature, or of our capacities, and therefore by virtue of our vocation, is not a knowledge that enriches, but one that impoverishes. Adam had become poor after having acquired knowledge of contingency as such, or of contingency in so far as it limits. We must distrust the fascination which an abyss can exert over us; it is in the nature of cosmic blind-alleys to seduce and to play the vampire; the current of forms does not want us to escape from its hold.
Forms can be snares just as they can be symbols and keys; beauty can chain us to forms, just as it can also be a door opening towards the formless.
Or again, from a slightly different point of view: the sin of Adam consists in effect of having wished to superimpose something on existence, and existence was beatitude; Adam thereby lost this beatitude and was engulfed in the anxious and deceptive turmoil of superfluous things.
Instead of reposing in the immutable purity of Existence, fallen man is drawn into the dance of things that exist, and they, being accidents, are delusive and perishable.

It was new from the North British Locomotive Company, Glasgow, in July 1960 and first allocated to Laira (83D). After a period in store at Old Oak Common and Swindon from March 1969, it was reinstated in September of that year. The loco suffered a failure at Reading on 22nd September 1971 and was withdrawn during the following month, being cut up at Swindon Works in February 1972.

I spotted this pair of military boots and the uniform at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
I guess it was left by a Vietnam Veteran who wanted to remember his fellow soldiers (or Marines).
***************************************************************************************************
Items left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial are collected by National Park Service employees and transferred to the NPS Museum and Resource Center, which catalogs and stores all items except perishable organic matter (such as live flowers) and unaltered US flags. The flags are redistributed through various channels (Wkipedia).

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a national memorial in Washington, D.C. It honors U.S. service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in service in Vietnam/South East Asia, and those service members who were unaccounted for (Missing In Action) during the War.
Its construction and related issues have been the source of controversies, some of which have resulted in additions to the memorial complex. The memorial currently consists of three separate parts: the Three Soldiers statue, the Vietnam Women's Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, which is the best-known part of the memorial.
The main part of the memorial, which was completed in 1982, is in Constitution Gardens adjacent to the National Mall, just northeast of the Lincoln Memorial. The memorial is maintained by the U.S. National Park Service, and receives around 3 million visitors each year. The Memorial Wall was designed by American architect Maya Lin. The typesetting of the original 58,195 names on the wall was performed by Datalantic in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2007, it was ranked tenth on the "List of America's Favorite Architecture" by the American Institute of Architects. (Wikipedia)

Generally when you think "Z Train" in 2018, a stack train comes to mind. One exception would be the UP "Super Fruit", a unit train of refrigerators loaded with perishables from the Pacific Northwest. A pair of SD70 variants have this one rolling at good clip through the small town of Cokeville, Wyoming.
This is my Lego version of a basic 20 foot Intermodal Container. There are many variations on the standard container that exist for use with different cargoes including refrigerated container units for perishable goods, tanks in a frame for bulk liquids, open top units for top loading and collapsible versions.
Aggregate container capacity is often expressed in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) which is a unit of capacity equal to one standard 20 ft × 8 ft (6.10 m × 2.44 m) (length × width) container. Apparently the global container fleet has a capacity in excess of 25 million TEUs.

I've been looking at various flat-cars and well-cars for inspiration in building more wagons and I felt they would need some cargo. There seems to be a huge number of Lego variants but perhaps not so many which are built to the 1 stud = 1 foot scale (~ish) I prefer to use . . . so here's my interpretation. I've recessed the end-doors simply to accommodate the locking bars within the 20 studs length and to prevent them interfering with proper stacking.
They also come in 12 de-lego-licious colours . . .
How may I pass through life with the least inconvenience?
(John Newton)
If I am redeemed from eternal misery by the death of Jesus; and if He is now preparing a glorious mansion for me near Himself, that I may drink of the rivers of pleasure at His right hand for evermore--then the question is not (at least ought not to be), "How may I pass through life with the least inconvenience?"
Rather it should be: "How may my little span of life be made most subservient to the praise and glory of Him who loved me, and gave Himself for me?"
"Live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers--but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect!" 1 Peter 1:17-19
Tunstead - Garston passes the pretty station at Hale; the signal box (now closed) is integral to the main station build, the louvres in the wall to the left were presumably for ventilating a storage area for perishables, good local milk and cheese no doubt.
Before electricity, homesteaders had to use spring water to keep their perishable food cool. Usually in the back of the spring house there is a tub like devise (in this case it was made of cement) to hold the water. The temperature of the water usually from the spring would be anywhere 44° to 48°, cold enough to keep food, such as dairy products, safe for a while.
AVR 4002 backs into Consumers Produce dodging impatient traffic not used to trains on this rarely used branch.
On April 20th, AVR operated one of the rarest moves currently on its system. An AVR-5 crew ran a single refrigerated boxcar to the last remaining produce customer in the Strip District at 21st Street. This was only the second car this warehouse has received in 2.5 years. What once was an extremely busy switch district for PRR is almost entirely taken over by pricey office, retail, and residential space as gentrification moves immediately east of downtown Pittsburgh.

Laos is blessed with some of Asia’s nicest rivers, and many of them are mellow. Children spent the day at school, and by the afternoon they were doing the chores required of them…building a fire for the kitchen, sweeping the leaves into a pile, or caring for the young siblings strapped to their back …young boys and girls from the age of seven or eight attentive to the baby’s every need. Amongst this was the laughter of children playing in the river. But sometimes they skip their days at school, going fishing and collecting snails from the river, or using long bamboo poles to knock crickets from the trees. They eat the crickets live or drop them into bottles and take them home for lunch or dinner.
Photo taken nearby the Tad Lo waterfall near the little town Kieng Than Lei - Laos. These ragged little urchins spend most of their days not at school, but fishing and collecting snails from the river. School is important for ethnic minority kids, they should attend and complete primary education in order to overcome rural/urban, ethnic in the area of literacy and education. But it isn't that easy. The reason to skip school are the family economic considerations, involvement in family maintenance and subsistence tasks, the lack of perceived benefits from education. While poverty and lack of access are issues. In addition to these, ethnic minority kids have to face further barriers to education, including the distance from school facilities, their extreme poverty, and additional cultural barriers and the lack of fluency in the national language, Lao. The ethnic kids speak their own language. About 32% of all Laotians are related to Ethnic groups. Totally 160 ethnic groups and speak 82 distinct living languages.
Rivers, mountains and forests thanks to these natural resources this planet can host many forms of life. Lao people depend on natural resources for their livelihood, their relationship with nature is very close. Their livelihood is inseparable from nature. For centuries throughout Laos, people have depended on rich biodiversity. Pa Dek is an essential food for Lao people. Every meal includes some. Pa Dek can be mixed in to add flavor to any Lao food. Pa Dek itself is the main food of Laos. Pa Dek is a non perishable food. Once it is prepared, it can be keep for a year or more even without refrigerating. Pa Dek can be kept in an airtight jar. With Pa Dek, people are happy, they rest assured that they have a long term supply of food for their family. Pa Dek is made from fish that people catch from natural bodies of water. They maybe rivers, lakes, ponds, wells, or wetlands, depending on the season. People catch fish for Pa Dek at the start of the rainy season. At this time, water levels in the rivers are higher, and fish begin migrating to spawning areas. When water levels begin to lower, fish again come downstream for dry season. Lao people know they can catch the most fish in the rainy season.
Often trade entrances into cities in Historica are modest affairs... not so however in Sultan's Gate! The cities strategic location has seen flourishing trade, which has made some merchants very rich indeed. This allowed the powerful merchant's guild to commission the lift many years before, completed in the grand style to advertise the wealth and power of the city. Goods that are perishable or particularly valuable are often sent by lift to avoid the treacherous climb up the escarpment. The lift is very safe with only a few losses, mainly from overbearing merchants ordering it's use on high wind days. (A local legend has it that a giant roc once bit through the lift chain and made off with the entire box, but this has never been substantiated.) A ride in the lift to the ground and back again is a rite of passage for many of the young thrillseekers in the city, who often try to stow away or bribe the guards for the experience.
Finally got around to taking and editing some pics of my Brickvention model for this year - which was originally going to be my entry into the Sultan's Gate community build on GoH (last year!), but then life happened and suddenly it was 6 months later. :P The lift actually is remote controlled using PF, which was fun to build and operate. Sorry the pics aren't that good but this was quite a challenge to photograph - significant height and length taxed my home set-up, and the large area of white didn't make things easy either.
This is actually a sculpture, in Melbourne, Victoria, named The Lady of St Kilda, on St Kilda Beach. You can see St Kilda Pier on the right. This commemorates an eponymous ship that gave its name to St Kilda, the town in Melbourne.
"The City of St. Kilda took its name from a schooner, Lady of St. Kilda, which was built in Dartmouth, Devon, England to carry fruit from the Mediterranean to London. Speed was an essential element of the ship’s design because of the perishable nature of the cargo. In 1834, the vessel was bought by Sir Thomas Acland of Killerton, Devon."

BNSF 3702 and company take a perishable train out of the Central Valley up and over the loop at Walong, as the snow slowly begins to recede from the quick artic blast the day before.
A northbound San Joaquin races past the BNSF yard at Empire (Modesto) CA. This year primarily serves as an interchange between the BNSF and the Modesto Empire Traction, who serves all of the industries in Modesto. This yard also takes unit grain and cottonseed trains. This yard combines its outbound traffic with Riverbank Yard less than 10 miles north to form a daily manifest train to Barstow. The train is primarily made up of perishables and wine/ beer. This makes the MODBAR a high priority train.
In long term ownership, since 1998. Registered 11 days before my one, surprisingly it's also done a higher mileage too. All the recent MOTs have had no major fails, just perishable items.
I still maintain that ZXs are one of the best 90s everyday cars still in reasonably easy to come by numbers. Mine has done 2000 miles in just over 2 months and hasn't once let me down.

And so the Witch remained in her tower, the light bathing the room, coming in from the small window above her head. She took the tiny skull from the cage where she liked to keep it and as she squeezed it, the bones bled.
Oh, what a sensation, to have the blood make a pool in the palm of her hand. To have her face cut and the warm liquid seep through her skin. It reminded her that she was still one of the living ones, one of the perishable ones. That she could still die. And it made her happy, for a second, until the words took place in the blank page ahead of her and the spells started to come out of her mouth.
The blood started to run down her arm and the Witch stared at it. No. She wouldn't lick it. That was beneath her. But that entrancing color, the density of the fluid, the way it darkened as it dried on her pale skin — she was hypnotized.
Oh, it was too good. The spell was already working.

A Form of Speech and of Death
He had a way of pronouncing the word unshakeable.
The final "l" enundated in the Dutch way,
they who preached for us, catechism, mission, Sunday services.
"Unshakeable certainty", "unshakeable faith", "power unshakeable"
When he used this strong word, he did not utter it
with the mouth of one who eats perishable substances,
or names what he deems unworthy of his better speaking
because common things:
hammer, anvil, iron, the foreman, the Chief.
"Unshakeable",
the tongue lingering at the base of the upper teeth,
the demanding doctrine requiring the purest sound,
in accordance with what it expressed, things of God,
eternal things, terrifying m the impossibility of their maculation.
But when this all too shakeable life stiffened his chin,
his paralysed and blackened tongue acquiesced,
its tip turned back to the root of the teeth,
unshakeable.

Exactly one our on the dot after shooting them heading east on the street destined for Burnham on the surviving portion of the old PRR Milroy Branch, the Juniata Valley Railroad crew was back heading west.
Here is the Juniata Valley Railroad heading wet on Water Street with two gondolas picked up at the big Standard Steel mill in Burnham. Leading the train in sharp PRR styled heritage paint is SW900 2106 blt. Nov. 1953 for the Pittsburgh and Shawmut Railroad as their number 236.
After leaving the yard and interchange with NS the line crosses the Juniata River then immediately enters Water Street for 3/10ths of a mile down the road. Lewiston also features a second stretch of street running on the Maitland Branch just east of the junction, but they didn't go that way today.
A bit of history from the North Shore Companies web site:
Today, Juniata Valley Railroad is an 18.5 mile short line that interchanges with Norfolk Southern in Lewistown, PA. JVRR delivers commodities that vary from scrap and finished metals to plastics, fertilizer and pulp. The infrastructure is owned by SEDA-COG JRA (Susquehanna Economic Development Association - Council of Governments Joint Rail Authority).
The Juniata Valley Railroad was incorporated in 1996 to assume from Conrail the operation of the three branch lines radiating out of Lewistown. These lines include remnants of the former railroads extending to Selinsgrove and to Milroy, and the branch to the West Mifflin Industrial Park. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) had been incorporated in 1846, to construct from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh. Three years later (1849) Lewistown became its first western terminus, and industry quickly developed due to the proximity of the Juniata iron ores.
The Freedom Forge at Burnham/Yeagertown had been producing pig iron from these ores since 1795, and was acquired by Andrew Carnegie in 1865. The Mifflin & Centre County Railroad (M&C RR) was projected to build northward through this iron belt, from Lewistown to Milesburg, in 1860. Construction began in 1863, and by 1865 the line extended only 12 miles to Milroy, there being no favorable route northward over Seven Mountains to Milesburg. The PRR leased the M&CC RR in May 1865, and for years handled enormous traffic to and from Burnham Steel Company, successor to the Freedom Forge. The north end of the line was abandoned in segments between 1976 and 1980.
Entrepreneurs also projected a line eastward from Lewistown to the Susquehanna River at Selinsgrove and Port Trevorton, incorporating the Middle Creek Railroad in 1865. Despite having constructed some roadbed, this line was waning by 1870. It was reincorporated as the Sunbury & Lewistown Railroad in 1870, opened from Lewistown to Selinsgrove, 43.5 miles, on December 1, 1871, and immediately leased by the PRR.
But the traffic was rural and the little line was foreclosed in 1874. It was reincorporated again in 1874 and immediately leased “by PRR interests.” Under PRR control, it served as an important shortcut for moving Wilkes-Barre anthracite westward, avoiding Harrisburg, and for moving perishables to New York markets via interchange with the Lehigh Valley Railroad at Mt. Carmel, avoiding both Harrisburg and Philadelphia. With the industrial decline of the 1950s, the middle of the line was taken up beginning in 1957. Conrail operated the line from 1976 until the Juniata Valley RR became the operator August 19, 1996.

The building with the pointed roof is the Ice House.
This is built over the original well of the icehouse built about 1720. Filled in winter from the pond nearby, the straw insulation kept ice and perishable foods during the summer. By Royal edict, the doorways faced north and were opened only after sunset.
