Mezquita Sheikh Zayed en Abu Dhabi
Situada en Abu Dabi, en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Su nombre hace honor al primer presidente de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Zayed ibn Sultán Al Nahayan, que falleció en 2004. El proyecto se inició en 1998 por iniciativa del propio Sheikh Zayed. La construcción terminó en 2007, después de siete años de construcción y un coste de 600 millones de dólares. Es la mayor mezquita de los EAU y la tercera más grande del mundo. Se extiende en una superficie de 20.000 m2. La mezquita cuenta con cuatro minaretes de una altura de 107 metros y con 82 bóvedas de siete tamaños diferentes. Las bóvedas de mayor tamaño se construyeron con panales de hormigón prefabricados y fijados entre ellos, mientras que las bóvedas más pequeñas se construyeron in situ de fibra de vidrio. La bóveda más importante tiene una altura de 80 metros y un diámetro de 36 m.
El complejo tiene 1048 columnas en el exterior y 96 en el interior.
La artesanía es de alta calidad, y los motivos son de inspiración musulmana, pasando por Marruecos, Argelia y Pakistán. Para su construcción se utilizó mármol, yeso, madera y mosaicos.
Se utilizaron miles de piedras raras y semipreciosas para la decoración de la mezquita, especialmente incrustadas en el mármol: lapislázulis, amatistas, ónix rojo, aventurina, nácar y concha de abulón --Haliotis fulgens --, entre otros.
La sala principal tiene 10 lámparas de araña de 10 metros de longitud y de 9 toneladas de peso, a base de cobre y recubiertos de oro, fabricados en Alemania por la empresa Swarovski.
La alfombra en la sala principal es, con 5.627 m2, la alfombra más grande del mundo, pesa 47 toneladas (35 de lana y 12 algodón) y tiene 2.268.000.000 nudos. Está hecha a mano por aprox. 1.200 mujeres iraníes y diseñada por el artista Ali Khaliqi. Tiene un valor estimado de 545 millones
3 days ago, a photo of mine got featured on Explore Frontpage.
2 days ago, my photostream amassed 1,000,000 views.
1 day ago, I renewed my PRO account for another year.
All this means that you are going to have to stick with me for another 12 months at least! Thanks for your inspirations, criticisms, comments and faves over the past 3 years!
As for the Explore, there have been a lot of debates as to the pros and cons etc. I have to say when I first started to post on flickr actively, explore means a lot to me. I treated explore as a recognition of your fine effort.
However nowadays when I browsed the photos on explore, I was a bit 'meh'! There are some breathtaking pictures, some good ones, many ordinary ones and some unbelievably bad ones. I no longer crave for explore, so I did not celebrate when my photo reached the Frontpage. One of the main reasons is that I myself do not believe my photo deserves to go on the Frontpage.
Don't get me wrong though. Being on Explore means that your pictures would be exposed to more people in the flickr community which is always a good thing, and it still provided encouragement to many here. I just hope whatever the selection criteria is, the standard of pictures on explore can be a bit more consistent (and consistently high!).
232 293-1 zieht ihren Leerzug am Nördlichen Stellwerk des ehemaligen Betriebsbahnhof von Haideburg vorbei. Bis zum Jahr 2000 lagen hier, mitten im Wald, in jede Richtung ein Ausweichgleis zum Überholen bzw. Abstellen von Zügen. Danach wurden die Weichen gekappt (die Gleise lagen bis 2010 im Jungle) und nur das Südliche Stellwerk Hs verblieb als Block mit 2 Anrufschranken. Mit meinem Vater besuchte ich in den 1990er Jahren häufig die beiden Stellwerke, nette Mitarbeiter und großartige Bepflanzungen um die Gebäude mit Geranien und ganzen Kräuterbeeten bleiben mir in guter Erinnerung.

He is faithful when I am not.
He is constant when I am not.
He is everything when I am nothing.
Yet, He says that "I am His."
Tula’s Perspective.
------------------------------------------------------
John’s funeral, San Francisco - 8:38 AM.
----------------------------------------------------
1 month, it's been 1 month since Arthur fell into a coma, 1 month since John died, 1 month since General Neal died. And it feels like yesterday. I've been taking control of Atlantis ever since. We have no sign of King Shark or Corum Rath, but we still have Garth held captive. For all I know, Arthur might not wake up. The heads of Atlantis have told me if he does not wake up soon enough, they'll have to give the throne the only living relative, and that would be Garth. I can only imagine how things would be then. No one to stop him. Atlantis would practically be destroyed. I haven't yet figured out what is it that Garth has against Atlantis and Arthur, but I will.
I was currently at John’s funeral, standing aside Ellie. It was hard for Ellie, seeing her fiancé die. He had proposed to her just before we left to Atlantis. And before that, they bought a home together. She had told me that I was her closest friend since she had moved from England.
Ellie was weeping as John’s father started talking. John's father had been comforting Ellie through this tough time.
The speech had just ended, and we all had our share of throwing some of the dirt on the coffin. Ellie couldn't even handle it.
“Hey Ellie, you alright?” I ask, putting my hand on her back.
“No, I really am not. I just- he was so young. And I-i loved him so much!” She says, breaking into tears.
I calmed her down and sat with her for a bit. We talked a bit more. I see Wally West walking over to me and starts a conversation.
“It's sad to see ‘em go. He was a great guy.” He says with his hands in his black jackets pockets.
“It really is. I mean, he just proposed to Ellie and then he died.”
“Yeah. Hal wanted to come, but he was too busy. How's Arthur doing, by the way? I didn't see him around.” He asks.
“He couldn't come if he wanted to. He's in a coma.” I respond.
“God. I mean, What happened with all you guys? I mean John died and Arthur's in a coma? That's not just a bad day.”
“Arthur battled his own brother for the throne of Atlantis after he got kicked out of Atlantis forcefully. Arthur used all his powers and created this huge..water giant after his brother killed both John and Arthur's uncle. I'm guessing Arthur fell into a coma after using all his power.”
His eyes widen.
“Well... what's going on with Atlantis?” He asks
I sigh.
“I've been taking care of that. I never really liked politics, now I've gotta deal with a whole country.” I respond.
“Well, sorry to hear that. Hope Arthur wakes up soon.” Wally says as he walks away. I thank him.
The rest of the day I spent with John’s dad and Ellie. We discussed what would happen with the Headquarters. John’s father said we should just leave it there in case Arthur wakes up and ever wants to come back. APEX was gonna be taken care of by Ellie and John’s father. This past month has shown me something. To stay close to your family. My mother and father abandoned me as a child. I never grew up with parents, but i did grow up with a loving Aunt. I visited her once in awhile.
Once i was done talking with Ellie and John’s father, i had gotten a call from Atlantis. They said it was urgent and for me to get there as soon as possible. I told everyone i had to leave and that it was urgent. I had quickly gotten to the docks, and took my human clothing off, to reveal my tan-gold and green Atlantean clothing under. I quickly jumped into the water and started swimming to Atlantis.
I arrive at Atlantis with a guard greeting me.
“Ma'am, it's King Arthur.”
My eyes widen. I quickly swim to the room we had him in. I rush in to see Arthur's body floating and absorbing power around him. His eyes were silver blue and his hair was turning Brown-Blonde. That's not right, Arthur's hair is brown. This had kept going on.
“Any idea as to what's going on?” I asked, almost screaming, as whatever is happening to Arthur is very loud.
“No. We've never seen anything like it.” The doctors say.
Arthur's body quickly drops to the bed. His eyes were wide open, both were still silver blue. He shows no sign of life.
“No..”
“Is he alright? What happened?”
“Queen Tula, Arthur is dead.” The doctor says, with regret.
“What? I-it cannot be..i have already lost enough, not you too, Arthur.” I say, breaking down to tears as I lean on Arthur. My tears streaming to his body, as I hold onto him.
“I-I've already lost enough..”
Just then, I feel a hand go onto the shoulder. The hand felt warm and soft.
“And you won't lose me.” A voice I recognized says. I look up to see Arthur smiling at me with his hand on my shoulder.
“Arthur!” I scream with excitement. I quickly get up and hug him.
“Thank god. I thought you were dead!” I say, as a tear rolls down my cheek.
“Not just yet. I'm still here for you, Tula.” Arthur says. His voice seemed to be deeper than i last remembered. I look down at his arm to see a water arm forming where his missing arm was. My eyes widen as i see this happen.
“A-Arthur, your arm...”
Arthur looks down at it. He lifts it up and looks at it.
“It was there when I summoned the dead king. I’m not sure how it got there.” Arthur responds.
“I’m just glad you’re back. Do you know what happened? Did you see anything when you were in the coma?” I ask.
“Yes. I-I remember seeing my father. He told me to find him.” Arthur said.
“But he’s dead.” I comment.
“Or at least we think he is,” Arthur says, looking at me with a serious face.
“Tula, i think my father’s alive.”
Arthur’s Perspective.
-------------------------------------
Atlantis, King’s Palace - 4:00 PM
-------------------------------------
It’s been a couple hours since i have woken up from the coma. The doctors said that my health is fine and that i couldn’t be healthier. They also said that the coma made me age more rapidly, so while i was only in a coma for a month, my body reacted as if it was a year, thus making my body rapidly age. They did not know the cause of this. So while I've been alive for 21 years, my age is 22. They said as soon as i woke up from the coma, the rapid aging stopped. I felt stronger than i was before i went into the coma.
Currently, i was in the palace, removing my broken armor. I couldn’t wear this armor anymore, it was too damaged. They have already started work on making a new armor. For now, I'll have to wear my father’s old armor. I take off my battle damaged armor and set it down on a table. I click a button attached to the wall, and it suspends a case with my father's armor in it. I place my hand on it, remembering my father. The times i had with him, the times he’s trained me. I open the glass case. I take the suit of armor, and get dressed in it. It felt comfortable. I look at my hands, take a deep breath. And turn around to be greeted by Tula.
“It suits you.” She says with a smile.
“Thank you.” I respond. She nods. There was a moment of silence until Tula started talking.
“I came here to tell you you’ve got a meeting with the heads of the seven seas,” Tula says.
“Uh, thank you. Please tell them I'll be right there.”
She nods and leaves the room. I grab my trident, grab my green cape, throw it on, and make my way to the meeting. As i swim to the meeting room, i see children playing on the streets of Atlantis. Families enjoying their time. This is how Atlantis should be. I smile as i look down at them. I continue to swim over to the meeting room.
As i enter the meeting room, i see several men sitting in their chairs, waiting for me. I swim over to my throne and sit.
“Thank you all for coming.” I say.
“Thank you , King Arthur. We understand that you just got out of a coma, we appreciate you for coming.” One of the men says.
I smile.
“I’d come back from the dead if it meant protecting and serving Atlanteans.” I comment.
“You are a good leader, King Arthur. Just like your father before you.” The man says. “Now, to the point. There have been several terrorists around the seven seas attacking. The Atlantis military force has been working on stopping these for weeks, now.”
I sigh.
“With all do respect, your point?” I ask.
“My point is that this isn’t enough. The Atlantean troops have also said that there are Human technology and weaponry involved in several of these attacks. We have reasons to believe, humans have a playing in these attacks.” The man says.
“What are you suggesting?”
“I’m suggesting that you confront the humans!” The man angrily yells. Two guards quickly ready their spears. The man quickly gets embarrassed.
“I-i’m sorry, my king.” He says with a low tone voice.
“Not to worry. Now, I will confront the humans, in a less violent manner. I will schedule a meeting by today. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get to another meet-” I’m cut off by an explosion in the meeting room. I see several Atlantean terrorists swimming in with Atlantean technology and weaponry. The terrorists quickly start to attack the others. I attempt to stop them, but what seems to be the leader of the group, stops me.
He throws me to the ground and puts his boot on my throat. I struggle to breathe as he readies his gun.
“King Arthur? I’ve heard that your kingdom just got over a war.” He says. “But now, Atlantis will be destroyed and taken over by the-” Before he gets to finish his sentence, he is tackled down by a young Atlantean. He quickly helps me up.
“King Arthur! Are you alright?” He quickly asks.
“Yes i am, thanks to you. What is your name?” I ask as i get up.
“Kaldur’ahm”, He says.
“Thank you, Kaldur’ahm.

The Fokker Dr.1 (Dreidecker, ”triplane” in German), often known simply as the Fokker Triplane, was a World War 1 fighter aircraft built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.1 saw widespread service in the spring of 1918. It became famous as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 19 victories, and in which he was killed on 21April 1918.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Fokker Dr.1 is a must in any collection of WW1 aircraft models, so it has been on my to-doo list for a long time. I did hesitate building one because there are so many brilliant models out there, and I did look at all the models out there, but this is completely my own design. It follows the same design characteristics as with my other WW1 models, such as engine cowling, wings and landing-gear. There is one key design feature of the Fokker Dr.1 I didn`t manage to recreate, the engine cowling ”face” with the two ”eyes” are missing. I couldn`t find a way to do it, so until I find a way it will be without ”eyes”.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

*although I have done a few tests, I think this particular photo will be the first in the series because it illustrates best the idea of the project. I will develop more on this soon. at the moment, I am more interested in the photos in themselves and how they can relate to each other to create a coherent visual sequence.

Sebastian (stranger 1).
Sebastiaan, he said that his wallet containing his passport was stolen. That is why he is now homeless and asks for some money. He has found a nice spot in a porch of an empty store, dry and out of the wind. Near a metro entrance, so many passersby. I asked if I could take a picture. You are the third already today he said. I was also allowed to put a small contribution in his jar.
This is the 1st photo of my 4th round of the 100strangers project. I like doing it so much, that's why another round.

In 2013, Lockheed Martin proposed a successor to the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, which was retired in 1998. The rationale behind this proposal was that there was a coverage gap between surveillance satellites, as one would have to wait for a satellite’s orbit to line up with a target. To be practical, the new aircraft would have to fly faster than the SR-71 to avoid modern air defenses and close that surveillance gap. The proposed concept was a hypersonic stealth UAV that was to be propelled by the simultaneous use of turbojets and scramjets. The SR-72 would have a top speed in excess of Mach 6 or 6751.97 ft/sec (almost twice the top speed of the SR-71’s Mach 3.2). While the IRL SR-72 exists only on paper, Top Gun: Maverick delivered us the first believable hypersonic aircraft on the big screen.
TGM’s take on the SR-72 is a manned hypersonic stealth aircraft with a top speed of around Mach 10. It is important to note that ridiculously fast speed is not entirely Hollywood. In 2004, NASA’s X-43 scramjet reached a record speed of Mach 9.6. In addition, the prop used in filming was constructed by the infamous Skunk Works, and it was so believable that China repositioned a spy satellite to observe it. In conclusion, TGM has shed light on a new, and exciting realm of high-speed aeronautics that is pushing the envelope of what man can do.
Dimensions of the movie prop are unavailable, so I used the IRL SR-72’s reported dimensions. The Darkstar in 1:72 scale would likely be smaller than this model; but nonetheless, I am still very happy with how this model turned out. I am still a little iffy on the windshields, but the only way to achieve the exact shape would be to print it. The model has retractable main gear and the nose gear can be removed, so the underside of the model is flush for “flight”. I hope y'all enjoy it, and happy building!
