Yangon also known as Rangoon, is the capital of the Yangon Region and the largest city of Myanmar (also known as Burma). Yangon served as the capital of Myanmar until 2006, when the military government relocated the administrative functions to the purpose-built capital city of Naypyidaw [nèpjìdɔ̀] in north central Myanmar. With over 5 million people, Yangon is Myanmar's most populous city and its most important commercial centre.
There are 9 types of echinacea, three of which are used for medicinal purposes, native to North America. In herbal medicine, the leaves and seeds of this plant are used, but its roots have the most valuable healing properties.
For centuries, Echinacea has endowed people with its extraordinary beauty and healing properties. For its lovely inflorescences, Echinacea is called the "American golden flower" or "evening sun". And today, with its unusually attractive inflorescences, it will decorate any garden, and beekeepers will appreciate it - after all, it is an excellent honey plant. Blooming from mid-summer to mid-autumn, Echinacea flowers attract many butterflies, bees and bumblebees to the garden. As a honey plant, the plant is valuable because it blooms at the end of summer, when the main honey plants have already faded. From one hectare of continuous crops of echinacea, 60-130 kg of honey can be obtained.
Only Echinacea purpurea has been well studied, it is widely used in medicine and is popular in ornamental gardening. The American Indians, knowing about the healing power of echinacea, cultivated it centuries ago and used it as a universal medicine for a variety of diseases.
Echinacea roots and herb contain essential oils, resins, phytosterols, carbohydrates, isobutylamides, fatty oil, and a variety of other substances. 7 groups of biologically active substances have been found in plants, which include polysaccharides, flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives, essential lipids, alkylamides, vitamins and trace elements.
Experts recommend taking echinacea for any septic conditions, symptoms of blood poisoning, meningitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, burns, boils and purulent ulcers, gangrene, stomatitis, gum disease, candidiasis, psoriasis, eczema, inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system, postlercosis , gonorrhea, herpes, hemorrhoids.
As it turned out, echinacea not only stimulates antiviral and antibacterial immunity, but also directly, like antibiotics, causes the death of bacteria, viruses and some fungi. It is especially effective to use echinacea during epidemics, as it helps the body to cope with viral diseases. Echinacea extracts inhibit the growth and reproduction of streptococcus, staphylococcus, Escherichia coli. The preparations of this plant are effective in the treatment of prostatitis, gynecological disorders, various wound processes (trophic ulcers, osteomyelitis). Juice from fresh inflorescences accelerates blood clotting. In general, the remedy is recognized as non-toxic, but in some cases it is not recommended to take echinacea - during pregnancy and lactation, with tuberculosis, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, collagenosis.

This excavator had a primary purpose as an earth mover, yet in this snow covered image - it looks like it could have been contracted out to dig through the freshly fallen snow.
Looks can be deceiving.
**Captured less than two weeks ago. The snow has since then melted and Spring appears to have arrived.
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of a boom, dipper, bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as the "house". The house sits atop an undercarriage with tracks or wheels. They are a natural progression from the steam shovels and often mistakenly called power shovels. All movement and functions of a hydraulic excavator are accomplished through the use of hydraulic fluid, with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. Due to the linear actuation of hydraulic cylinders, their mode of operation is fundamentally different from cable-operated excavators which use winches and steel ropes to accomplish the movements.

the most precisely articulated national purpose in recorded history. Not only is it a famous statement of purpose: it is also an admirable statement of purpose. Prior to July 4, 1776, the national purpose of nations had been to dominate... The American national purpose was the opposite: to liberate from domination; to set men free. All men are created equal.
We not only have a national purpose; we have one of such aspiration, such potentiality, such power of hope that we refer to it — or used to — as the American Dream :-)

L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Québec
La Réserve nationale de faune (RNF) de la Baie de l’Isle-Verte constituée de vastes étendues de marais, est située sur la rive sud de l’estuaire moyen du fleuve Saint-Laurent à 30 km au nord-est de la municipalité de Rivière-du-Loup. Ce territoire de 406 ha s’étend sur une bande riveraine de quelques 20 km le long du Saint-Laurent. Créée en 1980 par Environnement Canada, la réserve protège le plus important marais à spartine du Québec méridional, dernier grand vestige de ce type d’habitat vital pour la survie du Canard noir, ce qui lui a aussi valu d’être reconnue comme zone humide d'importance internationale en vertu de la Convention de Ramsar.

Wappa Dam, Sunshine Coast Queensland.
"The Wappa Dam is a mass concrete gravity arch dam with earth-fill abutments and an un-gated spillway across the South Maroochy River that is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for supply of potable water for the Sunshine Coast region.
Completed in 1963, the concrete dam structure is 24 metres (79 ft) high and 138 metres (453 ft) long. The 12-thousand-cubic-metre (420×103 cu ft) dam wall holds back the 4,614-megalitre (1,015×106 imp gal; 1,219×106 US gal) reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of 69.7 square kilometres (26.9 sq mi) with a mean annual rainfall of approximately 1,700 millimetres (67 in) that includes much of the Maroochy River, the dam creates an unnamed reservoir with a surface area of 74 hectares (180 acres). The un–gated spillway has a discharge capacity of 1,420 cubic metres per second (50,000 cu ft/s).[1] Initially managed by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, management of the dam was transferred to SEQ Water in July 2008 as part of a water security project in the South East Queensland region, known as the South East Queensland Water Grid.[5] The accompanying water treatment plant is also managed by SEQ Water.

Walking in fog often provides a visual representation of my thought process. My brain constantly brings different topics into view, but in the process lets others slide into the periphery. Most of the time they are all still there, competing for my attention, but all in varying degrees. In fog I respond to the overall loss of clarity, but also the nuance that is created by relative distance. It's this layering effect I find most appealing as more distant objects eventually recede into nothingness...exactly the same as my mind reacts.
Walking outdoors this morning felt otherworldly. I love seeing familiar places rendered as ones I'm visiting for the very first time. A rich dichotomy as the serenity of fog is ripped apart by this visceral reaction. In these moments I invariably come up with camera angles that never would have occurred to me in normal circumstances.

Elementary to high-density building construction is, of course, the stacking of houses. The Romans started doing it in the first century with their 'Insulea' (in Ostia Antica. There are still some ruined examples of them).
The multi-story modernist apartment building from a few posts ago is shown here, zoomed in on its yellow complex right part. It is from the end of the 20th with an ornamented/articulated front facade serving two purposes - decoration and shading of the sun (brise soleil - there seems to be a kinda Le Corbusean touch to be enjoyed here).
While editing the picture, I remembered the cover of Perrow’s Complex Organizations. After a long time, the book is still in print, though the cover has been changed many times. The book explores different (visual) metaphors of organizational structure and complexity.

Cleo's Flickr friends know that she always needs a good reason for physical activity and treats ARE a good reason. She found the treats bag in the kitchen, carried it into the garden (probably because she didn't want me to see what she was doing) and used her claws to open the bag. Cleo can indeed be very determined if she has a goal. :)

Hi everyone,
I have spent much of the summer in South-East Asia on vacation but also sneaking in a bit of photography when time permits. While it hasn't been the normal genre I focus on, it has still be a great time with some very satisfying results. I will get some of that content up over the coming months.
For now, here's an image from Costa Rica of a Keel-billed Toucan. What a great country for birding!

How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, Lord;
teach me your decrees.

The Bone Mill (now overgrown ruins) was used for a variety of purposes throughout the 17th century. It was first used as a lead smelting mill and lastly for crushing bone until the 1920s.
CSX B708 arrived in Shippensburg right as a short rain storm moved across the area. I'm a sucker for the Geep mother-slug sets, and when I saw the no-longer-a-GP30 was going to lead west to Letterkenny I stuck around despite the conditions. I'm glad I did.
Just as the rain tapered to a mist the setting sun found a hole in the clouds, setting off this brief rainbow. Luckily the train was close, and made the frame before the light quickly faded.
I just wanted to sneak into the forbidden part of the library for study purposes.. really! Unfortunately professor Dane caught me, the man is alert like a three-eyed lynx - 20 points deducted for... which house was I in again?

In architecture, a folly is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but either suggesting through its appearance some other purpose, or merely appearing to be so extravagant that it transcends the normal range of garden ornaments or the class of building to which it belongs.

The purpose fo switching over to a canoe on the backwaters is to navigate one of the canals that are part of the waterway. All of the images I have shown up until now were taken on the lake. There is much to see along the tiny canals where people live. They are busy places just as what is reflected here.
Anchored with Purpose
The Korana carries everything in its path – branches, leaves, fragments of its own shore. The water is still high, still restless.
Yet this boat remains.
Half on land, half in the river. Secured by chain – not out of fear, but certainty. Suspended between movement and stillness.
Sometimes strength is not in drifting forward, but in knowing where you belong.

Mir koji nije slučajan
Korana nosi sve što joj se nađe na putu. Grančice, lišće, komadiće obale. Visoki vodostaj još uvijek ostavlja trag, a voda je mutna i nemirna.
Ipak, ovaj čamac ne ide nikamo.
Izvučen do pola na obalu, pramac već na suhom, krma još u rijeci. Čvrsto vezan lancem – ne iz straha, nego iz sigurnosti. Između nemira i mira, između odlaska i ostanka.
Možda smo svi ponekad takvi. Svijet teče, nosi, mijenja. A mi biramo stati. Ne zato što ne možemo dalje, nego zato što znamo gdje pripadamo.
This shot was taken in central Birmingham where two canal systems meet each other. The narrowboats that used the canals were an important mode of transportation in the past.

The purpose of my drive yesterday was to locate the Northfield Tunnel of the defunct New York Ontario and Western Railroad. I believe when I took the picture I was practically above the portal. Perhaps just past this ridge. But my wounded feet and legs and my arthritic knees ruled out any bushwhacking. In looking for the tunnel I spotted this 1930's era car bodies rusting away.
Norfolk has literally dozens of windmills. Many were used for drainage purposes while others were used to produce flour. The vast majority seem to date from the late 1700s or the first few decades of the 1800s.
This Grade II*-listed six-storey tower mill at Burnham Overy Staithe in north Norfolk was built in 1816 and ceased working just over 100 years later in 1919. The mill was sold in 1926 and converted into holiday accommodation. Restoration was carried out in 1957 and the mill was given to the National Trust a year later. The stocks and sails were replaced in 1985.

This shot was taken at Four Winds, just off the Tavistock to Princetown road on Dartmoor. There is now a car park on the far side of the stone enclosure. But many years ago there was a local school there. The stone enclosure seems to have been used as the playground.
The school was attended by the children of families working in local quarries and agriculture. Foggintor School opened in 1914 and at one point had over 80 pupils. But as employment opportunities declined so too did the size of the school roll. The school finally closed down in July 1936 when the decline in the quarry industry at Merrivale and elsewhere reduced the number of families in the area. The school buildings gradually crumbled away over the years but were not finally demolished until the 1960s.
Having seen old photos of the school I was interested to see that it was purpose-built in brick. I suspect this substantial stone enclosure could be a much earlier structure that was taken over and used by the school as a playground, though I have not been able to find any confirmation.

A pretty boring image but a good demonstration of the difference between sexes. Notice any difference in the shape of the bills? The bill of the bird on the left is more strongly upturned than the bill of the bird on the right. The bird on the left is a female, while the bird on the right is a male. Also, the bird on the right is showing the remnants of breeding plumage.
The next time you see American Avocets, see if you can determine male or female. Cheers.
