Plant. I like this little plant and have hoping to find an appropriate place to post it for weeks (not on the two flowers threads, not a tree) so here it is.

Did you get an ID on that plant? I think Snake Thistle, but a wild guess.

That is a pretty group pf flowers. No id on the plant I posted. The image is from the Azores so the plant could be an endemic or anything from anywhere in Europe or Africa.

Strong jaws. As I recall, they said that piece of RR track weighed 80 kilos (~200lb).

Undersea drilling rig, sitting idle at the moment. I still find it both strange and remarkable that such a massive structure is towed here and there as needed.

Welwitschia a most curious plant. It's extremely long long, strap-like leaves grow continuously, gradually shredding at the ends as desert winds whip them across the desert floor. They grow slowly and live a very long time. This trunk (=the entirely of it) was somewhat over 1,000 years old when collected.

Otherwise known as the resurrection plant if I remember correctly.

Not showing again. Must be something amiss with PF site.

Almost forgot to post my usual wish for Americans celebrating Thanksgiving today

May all your turkeys be atop the table and not sitting around it.
