''The station is an open-vault metro station, the largest without any support pillars on the network. To facilitate construction, impressive efforts had to be done: the soil was frozen for 90 days, and the technology used to make it was also one of the few technologies imported from other countries to construct the metro.
The works lasted 4 years, in December 1981 the station was inaugurated.
It should also be added that, since its commissioning, the station has never been renovated or consolidated.''
This is a view of walking in the estuary.
You can walk on a rugged path or walk over the grass verges.
The soil will of come away due to the heavy rainfall and tides every day.
If you want to walk over to Portmeirion you can, but have to go up and down these banks either
In the mud or water!!!

akiさんの新しい作品はｷﾗｯと土である。
どうしてそんな綺麗な発想が思いつくんだろう、と。
ビーズ付きのとノーマルタイプの2種入り、とてもおもしろい。
新しい庭で森を作っていて、この土が面白くてついつい、たくさん置いてしまう、形もソリッドなパネルと有機的なフォルムな小山のあわせが新鮮でどんなふうにDecorateしようかと考えるのも楽しく、森は自分の予想に反して変貌していく。

Allan Gardens Conservatory is over 100 years old with a garden-filled greenhouse that covers over 16,000 square feet. This garden is open to the public year-round. It contains tropical plants from all over the world from palm trees to cacti. There are also seasonal plantings throughout the year.
Lilium (members of which are true lilies) is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large prominent flowers. Lilies are a group of flowering plants which are important in culture and literature in much of the world. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere, though their range extends into the northern subtropics. Many other plants have "lily" in their common na

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria Canadensis) is one of the earliest flowering plants to show up in forests and damp rich soil in my region.
This fragile spring flower develops and rises from the center of its curled leaf, opening in full sun, and closing at night. Like most members of the Poppy Family, it lasts for a relatively short time. The red juice from the underground stem was used by Native Americans as a dye for baskets, clothing, and war paint, as well as for insect repellent. The generic name, from the Latin sanguinarius, means "bleeding."

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) est l'une des premières plantes à fleurs à apparaître dans les forêts et les sols humides et riches de ma région.
Cette fleur printanière fragile se développe et s'élève du centre de sa feuille enroulée, s'ouvrant en plein soleil et se fermant la nuit. Comme la plupart des membres de la famille du coquelicot, il dure relativement peu de temps. Le jus rouge de la tige souterraine était utilisé par les Amérindiens comme colorant pour les paniers, les vêtements et la peinture de guerre, ainsi que comme insectifuge. Le nom générique, du latin sanguinarius, signifie «saignement».

The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone is about 24 miles long. In this area of Yellowstone the underlying rhyolite rock has been hydro-thermally altered, making it very soft, brittle, and it erodes easily. That's also why you have these gorgeous colors of reds, pinks, and browns in the photo.

In the beginning, the seed of the tree was just a small and inconspicuous object, hidden away in the soil. However, with time, it started to grow roots, pushing its way deeper into the earth, seeking nourishment and stability. Slowly but steadily, it began to sprout, breaking through the surface of the soil and reaching towards the sky.
As the tree grew taller and wider, it became a vital part of its ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various creatures. It survived through harsh weather conditions, enduring the scorching heat of the sun and the biting cold of winter.
Now, as we see it surrounded by dense fog, the tree appears like a wonder from another world, as if it has emerged from a mythical forest of dreams. The rays of the sun filter through the mist, casting the tree in a hazy glow, making it seem otherworldly and surreal.
The tree's silhouette appears ghostly, with some parts highlighted with a brighter and clearer intensity while others are shrouded in darkness and obscurity. This contrast between the light and shadows enhances the tree's magnificence and mystery.

When I was walking down one of the paths at Circle B, I noticed that ants were issuing forth from what initially appeared to be a crack in the soil. Upon closer examination I could see that there were queens and probably drones preparing to leave the nest to start a new one, and they were being tended to by normal ants from the colony. I don't know what kind of ants these are, but I enjoy taking part in natures little moments.

This is a hard place to grow in. Stones and bushes cover the soil.. This is the Mediterranean, not the Black Forest. I was planted here with other olive trees in a cluster, so that humans can take all my fruits to give some taste to their food. My tree mates ignore me, they think I'm a freak. You see, olive trees are supposed to be tough. They can live up to 500 years or even longer when they don't get planted, like me. It won't be my case at all. Take a look at my trunk, it's skinny and strange. My fate started in the right direction, but something happened, and I could no longer control it . I reached a point where I had doubts. Wondering if that was the path I was supposed to take, I turned to the right. Then I looked up and couldn't see my trunk. I panicked. Desperately, I turned to the left to find my way again. That was hard. It took a lot of strength and willpower that I don't have. Finally, I saw my trunk and realized I had to grow upwards. I'm doing well now, but I'm still a weirdo. I need Tree Therapy, though. It’s all because of my insecurity, you know.
The Semi-deserts and steppes of the Mangghystau region are not as sandy as our imagination might suggest, they are mostly shaped by Loess-based flour-like dusty soils. These soils were formed when after the ice age large parts of the landscape were without vegetation and erosion and transport of dust through strong winds led to the accumulation of dust also on the Ustyurt plateau. Today, rainfalls accumulate in rather large puddles of several hundred meters in diameter in the flat parts of the plateau, leading to thick clay mud that quickly dries out after a rainfall. When the rain evaporates the soil cracks open and in these cracks, small plants grow, living on the little water that manages to penetrate the thick clay.
Between such scarce vegetation I met the Oriental Turtle Dove seen in the picture. This bird was on its migration to the wintering grounds on the Indian subcontinent and the Ustyurt is the most western part of the migration path according to the IUCN. From this perspective it is very impressive that sometimes single birds get lost on their migration and make it all the way to Western Europe.

The daylily is an amazingly low-maintenance perennial. It’s virtually disease-free, pest-free, and drought-resistant; it’s also not picky about soil quality. Plus, the flower has a long bloom period! Here’s how to plant and care for daylilies in your garden, as well as how to easily propagate them for more plants!
About Daylilies
The daylily’s botanical name, Hemerocallis, comes from the Greek hemera (“day”) and kallos (“beauty”). The name is appropriate since each flower lasts only one day! However, each scape has 12 to 15 buds on it, and a mature plant can have 4 to 6 scapes, which is why the flower seems to bloom continuously.
Originally from Asia, these plants have adapted so well that many of us think of them as natives. Imagine the excitement of a 16th-century explorer cruising the Orient and finding these gorgeous plants! European gardeners welcomed daylilies into their gardens, and when early colonists sailed for the New World, daylilies made the crossing with them.
Despite their name, daylilies are not “true lilies” and grow from fleshy roots. True lilies grow from onion-like bulbs and are of the genus Lilium, as are Asiatic and Oriental lilies. In the case of daylilies, leaves grow from a crown, and the flowers form on leafless stems—called “scapes”—which rise above the foliage.
There are thousands of beautiful daylilies to choose from. Combine early, midseason, late blooming varieties, and repeat bloomers to have daylilies in flower from late spring through the first frost of fall. If you see a height listed alongside a daylily variety, this refers to the length of the scape. Some can reach 6 feet tall!

These Daylilies were photographed at Pashley Manor Gardens. At Pashley you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Ice is water frozen into the solid state. It can appear transparent or opaque bluish-white color, depending on the presence of impurities or air inclusions. The addition of other materials such as soil may further alter the appearance.
Ice appears in nature in forms of snowflakes, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and entire polar ice caps. It is an important component of the global climate, and plays an important role in the water cycle. Furthermore, ice has numerous cultural applications, from ice cooling of drinks to winter sports and the art of ice sculpting.
The molecules in solid ice may be arranged in different ways, called phases, depending on the temperature and pressure. Usually ice is the phase known as ice Ih, which is the most abundant of the varying solid phases on the Earth's surface. The most common phase transition to ice Ih occurs when liquid water is cooled below 0°C (273.15K, 32°F) at standard atmospheric pressure. It can also deposit from vapour with no intervening liquid phase, such as in the formation of frost.
On the trail at Oscar Scherer State Park. We did a 6.5 mile hike and a lot of it was through very sandy soil. We have been so dry here, but we are finally having a rainy day. Never thought I would be so happy to see rain!
Happy Trails Thursday and have a blessed day!
The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
