True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.

a microburst is a localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm and is usually less than or equal to 2.5 miles in diameter. Microbursts can cause extensive damage at the surface, and in some instances, can be life-threatening. There are two primary types of microbursts: 1) wet microbursts and 2) dry microbursts. Wet microbursts are accompanied by significant precipitation and are common in the Southeast during the summer months.
Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙
It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)
....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!
. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)
.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.
The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)
Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.
"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)
some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

________________
"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."

Time for another from the storm at Porthcawl Lighthouse that I shot last year.
This giant wave only revealed the lighthouse as it began to collapse into a mass of fine spray, it then showed the colour of the sand held in suspension, there was no sign of this when it was on the way up.
the decaying ruin needs support posts to keep it from collapsing.

Another for the Dark City Deutschland collection, this I took early December last year on a very cold night, this corner was absolutely disgusting, littered, torn posters, very aged and the steps had this, thanks to a nearby street lamp, almost radioactive hue of green with damp and mold damage, as well the area reeking of stale urine, for another words, perfect!
When I started this project I had no idea just how much an abundance of choice I would end up having, but yet so hard to find. I think you need to keep an open mind and allow not the just the image, but the atmosphere to leak in, then you get it!
Friday at last and I trust everyone had a prosperous week, here's to a great weekend and so as always, thank you!
A collapsed barn shows it's age with a broken back and facial markings. I must return to this place considering the interest in this structure.

This is what a collapsed bank really looks like. Construction began in the spring of 1907 in Rhyolite, NV and by 1910 the Cook Bank was closed. The bank was three stories tall and housed the local Post Office in the basement. The inside had marble staircases and all the modern conveniences, like electric lights and indoor plumbing. A financial crisis at the time caused banks across the country to go bankrupt.
I was driving out in the country when I came across this collapsed barn. It created a striking graphic image.20160704PalouseDxLrPsv62v3
A local find on my visit out this afternoon for some foggy scenes.
I did find this several years back and it has collapsed quite a bit since.
The Stockdale Saw Mill is one of the oldest saw mills in Ontario. It is thought to have been built around 1870 and operated for more than a century of activity.
Today, this rustic, old abandoned mill appears on the verge of collapse and is likely too far gone for a restoration project.

La scierie Stockdale est l'une des plus anciennes scieries de l'Ontario. On pense qu'il a été construit vers 1870 et exploité pendant plus d'un siècle d'activité.
Aujourd'hui, ce vieux moulin abandonné et rustique semble au bord de l'effondrement et est probablement trop loin pour un projet de restauration.
