Nothing is permanent. Nothing is permanent, not even a radiant flower, the flamboyant paintwork on a luxury car, or our sad emotions.
The only thing that is permanent is Cher.

A bazaar is a permanently enclosed marketplace or street where goods and services are exchanged or sold. The term originates from the Persian word bāzār, from Middle Persian wāzār, from Old Persian vāčar,[3] from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wahā-čarana. The term bazaar is sometimes also used to refer to the "network of merchants, bankers and craftsmen" who work in that area. Although the current meaning of the word is believed to have originated in native Zoroastrian Persia, its use has spread and now has been accepted into the vernacular in countries around the world. In Balinese, the word pasar, means market. The capital of Bali province, in Indonesia, is Denpasar, which means North market. Souq is another word used in the Middle East for an open-air marketplace or commercial quarter.
Evidence for the existence of bazaars dates to around 3,000 BCE. Although the lack of archaeological evidence has limited detailed studies of the evolution of bazaars, indications suggest that they initially developed outside city walls where they were often associated with servicing the needs of caravanserai. As towns and cities became more populous, these bazaars moved into the city center and developed in a linear pattern along streets stretching from one city gate to another gate on the opposite side of the city. Over time, these bazaars formed a network of trading centres which allowed for the exchange of produce and information. The rise of large bazaars and stock trading centres in the Muslim world allowed the creation of new capitals and eventually new empires. New and wealthy cities such as Isfahan, Golconda, Samarkand, Cairo, Baghdad and Timbuktu were founded along trade routes and bazaars. Street markets are the European and North American equivalents.
Shopping at a bazaar or market-place remains a central feature of daily life in many Middle-Eastern cities and towns and the bazaar remains the "beating heart" of Middle-Eastern city life. A number of bazaar districts have been listed as World Heritage sites due to their historical and/or architectural significance. Visiting a bazaar or souk has also become a popular tourist pastime.
NR4 and NR103 approach the summit of the Great Dividing Range at Heathcote Junction, as they head north for Griffith with 5MC2.
Owing to the ports unable to handle the previous length of the MC2/CM3 trains at 1800m, this service has now been restricted to 1200m, making it easier to strip and load the service during its turnaround time. This in short means it no longer needs a 3rd locomotive.

Blanding's turtle, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
Got out on the pontoon today, I even got to drive.
One of the things we saw was this Blanding's turtle sitting at the edge of the marsh.
Emydoidea blandingii
Blanding's Turtles live in shallow water, usually in large wetlands and shallow lakes with lots of water plants.
It is not unusual, though, to find them hundreds of metres from the nearest water body, especially while they are searching for a mate or traveling to a nesting site.
Blanding's Turtles hibernate in the mud at the bottom of permanent water bodies from late October until the end of April.

Blast Beach, Durham UK
During the rare dry spells we get here on the north east coast of the UK these weird pools on the Blast Beach (County Durham) dry out and the beach surface somethimes splits and cracks into this animal-like skin.
The Jekyll & Hyde Restaurant in Greenwich Village unfortunately is now closed. The picture is a few years old. The restaurant permanently closed in 2022. It had been in business many years. One reason for its closure was the pandemic.

Le Passage du Sphinx est un passage carrelé couvert de 120 mètres de long entre le bâtiment Eiffel et Pathé. Près de 30 000 carreaux font revivre l'histoire du Sphinx de Maastricht à travers des mots, des images et des objets.
Un espace pour le passé
Autour du bâtiment Eiffel, le Sphinxkwartier se développe rapidement pour devenir un quartier urbain moderne et dynamique. La restauration du bâtiment Eiffel est terminée et le Student Hotel occupe une grande partie du bâtiment depuis septembre 2017. Le bâtiment Eiffel continuera de fonctionner en 2018, avec de nouvelles fonctions résidentielles, commerciales et de vente au détail. En attendant, le passé n'est pas perdu de vue : avec l'ouverture du passage du Sphinx, la riche histoire du quartier a également trouvé une place permanente.
Le plus long tableau de carreaux des Pays-Bas
Avec un mélange, entre autres, de portraits de famille, de bâtiments d'usine, de décorations de vaisselle, de vieilles publicités et de cuvettes de toilettes, les tableaux de carreaux racontent l'histoire du Sphinx et de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht en 26 chapitres. Chaque tableau est accompagné d'une histoire de fond (en néerlandais et en anglais), écrite par les historiens Jac van den Boogaard et Paul Arnold. De la fondation de la manufacture du Sphinx par Petrus Regout à sa fermeture en plein centre-ville, le Passage du Sphinx offre aux visiteurs un aperçu unique de l'histoire de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht. Long de 120 mètres, il est le plus long passage couvert de tableaux de faïence des Pays-Bas.
The Sphinx Passage is a 120-meter-long covered tiled passageway between the Eiffel Building and Pathé. Nearly 30,000 tiles bring the history of the Maastricht Sphinx to life through words, images, and objects.
A space for the past
Around the Eiffel Building, the Sphinxkwartier is rapidly developing into a modern and vibrant urban neighborhood. The restoration of the Eiffel Building is complete, and the Student Hotel has occupied a large part of the building since September 2017. The Eiffel Building will continue to operate in 2018, with new residential, commercial, and retail functions. Meanwhile, the past is not lost on us: with the opening of the Sphinx Passage, the neighborhood's rich history has also found a permanent home. The longest tile painting in the Netherlands
Featuring a mix of family portraits, factory buildings, crockery decorations, old advertisements, and toilet bowls, among other things, the tile paintings tell the story of the Sphinx and Maastricht's ceramic industry in 26 chapters. Each painting is accompanied by a background story (in Dutch and English), written by historians Jac van den Boogaard and Paul Arnold. From the founding of the Sphinx factory by Petrus Regout to its closure in the city center, the Sphinx Passage offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Maastricht's ceramic industry. At 120 meters long, it is the longest tile painting passage in the Netherlands.

RECUERDOS
Recuerdos de aquel tiempo
perdido en el horizonte
recuerdo de telefilmes
recuerdo de uniformes
de aquella España que hoy
ni tan siquiera reconocemos;
de esta tierra baldía
que ayer fue espeso monte.
Recuerdos de aquel tiempo
en el que no sabíamos casi nada
pero lo intuíamos casi todo;
cuando éramos nosotros
los que teníamos que buscar el oro.
Y no como ahora, tiempo ingrato,
en el que todo nos llega
con sólo apretar un botón.
Hable al son de las viejas normas
mi corazón.
Recuerdos de viejos descubrimientos:
los colores en la televisión
(¡gran novedad!)
las colores de tu gesto
(¡lejana pubertad!)
las calores del verano
(azul)
y los calores del infierno
(rojo)
que nos anunciaban entonces
en aquel vetusto colegio
en forma de extraña fruta
de perdición;
y que sólo consiguió
a fuerza de tantos calores
turbar doblemente nuestros sueños
y hacernos flaquear la razón.
Recuerdos de pavimento mojado
cuando aún llovía
en las largas noches de invierno;
cuando aún maullaban los gatos
al paso de los serenos;
cuando media España aún iba de luto
llorando a sus muertos;
cuando aún había motocarros
y castañeras en sus puestos;
cuando por una peseta
aún podías comprar un sueño.
Recuerdos de ilusiones perdidas
y de amores olvidados
del despertar a la vida
y de tesoros enterrados.
Y que, como aquellas golondrinas
centinelas de los tejados
donde la hiedra empezaba a colgar,
como aquellas para las que el Norte
ya era pasado,
todo esto que evoco
son cosas que se esfumaron
y jamás, jamás volverán.
Recuerdos de un tiempo
en el que todo era como había sido
pero en el que empezamos
casi sin saberlo,
a entrar en una nueva era,
a ser modernos
aun a costa de no reconocer
aquella curtida piel de toro
que forjaron nuestros ancestros.
Todo eso recuerdo
de un tiempo pasado y perdido
de lo que en un punto fue y ha sido.
Porque aunque se guarden las imágenes
(viejas fotos descoloridas
archivos sonoros
películas de sabor añejo)
es un tiempo que se fue
es un tiempo ya muerto
es un tiempo que sólo
se puede aprehender
mediante recuerdos.

'The Cross', a hill-figure memorial, was constructed as a permanent testament to the sacrifice of those from the parish who died during the First World War. It was unveiled in September 1922 by Major-General Sir Arthur Lynden-Bell KCB KCMG DL JP (1867-1943). The memorial, which was designed by Mr C H Groom the village school headmaster, originally included an inscribed memorial stone within a separate fenced enclosure at the south end of the cross. The cross hill-figure was constructed by Mr Freddie Baldock with volunteers from the village, who excavated its form through the natural geology by hand.
To ease access for survivors and relatives of those fallen, the memorial stone was re-located in 1960 to the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Lenham (NHLE 1086103, Grade I), nearly 1km to the south-west. Following the Second World War, a second inscribed memorial stone was added and is located within the above churchyard. The re-located stones, which now stand on a plinth, are of roughly hewn granite with smoothed face-panels, inscribed with black lettering. These include the names of those fallen in both World Wars.
In 1977, the Ashford Branch of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) Association presented a wooden bench and a memorial plaque as additions to the separate stepped memorial enclosure, south of the cross. The hill-figure cross is maintained by volunteers from the village and was most recently restored with new chalk in 1994.

MATERIALS: the memorial is constructed of compacted chalk on a natural chalk base.
DESCRIPTION: the hill-figure memorial, which is in the form of a chalk Latin cross, is carved into the south-facing slope of the North Downs, just north of 'The Pilgrims Way' trackway overlooking the village of Lenham, Kent. The cross measures approximately 61.5m north-south and 21.6m east-west.
A separate enclosure which contained the original memorial stone, 27m south of the cross, has iron railings set on low stone walls. Inside there are six steps leading to a terrace with a wooden bench fixed to a concrete base.
A memorial plaque affixed to the gate of the railed enclosure is inscribed and reads: THE WHITE CROSS/ ON THE HILL/ COMMEMORATES THE DEAD OF THE TWO WORLD WARS/ THE MEMORIAL STONE WITHIN THIS ENCLOSURE WAS REMOVED TO THE CHURCHYARD/ IN 1960/ THE SEAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PEOPLE/ OF LENHAM BY THE ASHFORD BRANCH OF THE/ REME ASSOCIATION TO COMMEMORATE THEIR CLOSE/ *LINKS WITH THE MEMORIAL WAS PRESENTED/ IN 1977.
