A first yield this years. There are still alot on the tree.

A classic example of a modern, heavy-blooming Groundcover Rose (often classified as a Kleinstrauchrose or small shrub rose) with strong characteristics inherited from Polyantha hybrids. These roses are highly celebrated in horticulture for their exceptional disease resistance, low-maintenance nature, and continuous flush of flowers from late spring until the first frost. The smell is strong.

The intersection where the Rhine-Herne Canal crosses above the Emscher River (located in Castrop-Rauxel) is a fascinating masterpiece of engineering.

​1. Water Over Water

​Typically, rivers flow under road or rail bridges. Here, it is the exact opposite: the man-made Rhine-Herne Canal is routed via a massive trough bridge over the natural riverbed of the Emscher. Ships literally sail right over another flowing river.

​2. The Inverted Siphon (Düker)

​To cross the canal, the Emscher is channeled underneath it through a massive inverted siphon (Düker). Driven by natural water pressure, the river dives into giant concrete pipes before the canal and resurfaces on the other side.

​3. Defying Mining Subsidence

​The Ruhr region's heavy coal mining history caused the ground to sink significantly over the decades. The engineers had to design this entire system to be hydraulically adjustable so it could withstand massive ground shifts without flooding the region.

​Modern Highlight: Today, following the ecological restoration of the Emscher, the site features a spectacular, elegantly curved pedestrian and cycle bridge named "Sprung über die Emscher" (Leap over the Emscher), offering a perfect view of this unique engineering marvel.

​A true pink dream! 💖🌸 My rose bush is just incredible this year, absolutely covered in countless, full blooms. An absolute highlight in the garden and pure garden bliss. Do you have a pop of color like this in your garden too? I think the place is good for Roses ... It smells so good.

The Minilogo board and the Venture trucks are 20 years old. I had to buy new wheels, bearings and screws. Now I can shred again. Thanks for your help!

I found this old board in my cellar. 23 years later I want to bring it on the street. There is a new skatepark in town - so why not? The old Powell Minirat wheels are trash. The old bearings are rusty. Question: Can you recommend cheap wheels and bearings? I don't need premium stuff. I just want to shred again...

My apple tree is in full bloom. Let's hope there's no frost now. The King of the Pippins (Goldparmäne in German) is a variety of cultivated apple. For many centuries, this apple was considered one of the best dessert apples.
