As these two were doing at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Every year, Bryce Canyon National Park awes visitors with spectacular geological formations and brilliant colors. The towering hoodoos, narrow fins, and natural bridges seem to deny all reason or explanation, leaving hikers gazing around with jaws agape in wondrous incredulity. This surreal landscape is what brings people from around the world to visit Bryce Canyon National Park.
How are those Hoodoos and fins formed? It starts with rainwater seeping into cracks in the rock. The water freezes during Bryce’s cold nights, expands and breaks apart the rock. The deep, narrow walls called “fins” result from rain and snowmelt running down the slopes from Bryce’s rim. Eventually the fins form holes (called windows), and when the windows grow larger they collapse and create the bizarre hoodoos that we see today.

MYANMAR ,burma - Yangon, Rundgang auf der prächtigsten Pagode - der Shwedagon.
GELD; GELD;GELD - Novizinnen und Nonne sammeln und transportieren pralle Geldsäcke mit kleinen Banknoten. Die Gläubigen sind sehr spendabel und so sieht man hunderte Säcke und ist doch sehr verwundert. Schließlich zählt Myanmar zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt. Aber für Buddha und die vermeintliche Absicherung im nächsten Leben gibt man was man kann.
MONEY; MONEY;
Novices and nuns collect and transport bulging money bags with small banknotes. The believers are very generous and so you can see hundreds of sacks and are still amazed. After all, Myanmar is a very poor country. But you give what you can for Buddha, the deities and the supposed security in the next life.
The Curious Hobby of Collecting Things (02)
The Times Weekly Issue 1920 - 21
A vast number of years ago I used to buy and sell second-hand books, mainly because I collected and it reduced the cost of collecting. However, since those far off days every once in a while I come across things I cannot resist buying. This next item entitled ‘The Times Weekly Edition with Illustrated covers starts on 12th November 1920 and finishes 28th January 1921. This only represents 11 issues but it is filled with a whole variety of subjects including News, Sports, Fashions and General Advertising. Each issue contains approx. 24 pages.
This is the first of many postings ……
What to do when you have a lot of hay bales to collect up .. pile them up as high as they will go, put a few more on, then drive off, of course! A scene witnessed while relaxing on the balcony having lunch.

... there’s probably one in here. 68, High Street, Hastings.
6’8d - six shillings and eightpence - was a third of the old pre decimal British pound. Twelve pennies in a shilling. Twenty shillings in a pound. It was all rather complicated but there were certain tricks to make multiplication and addition easier, which I’ve now forgotten. If we were to go back to that system, and nothing would surprise me now, a lot of people would have difficulty with it - there would have to be an app.
I remember 6’8d once being the price of a “single” vinyl record.
A perfect combination. A collectible Ford "hotrod" in brilliant livery, outside the historic Carrick Inn Hotel. This pub is nearly 200 years old, having been established in 1833.

Campus has very few people allowed right now and I have been told that this is a very rare. I am taking advantage of this opportunity while it last. CSUF hopes to bring students back this Fall.
A testa rossa (redhead, and yes, even before Enzo coined the name there were testa rossas) absorbing a 1951 "bullet nosed" Studebaker, and not sure what to make of it! Her thoughts might be, "...weird, but maybe in a nice way, yes, weird! I kinda like it. I think!"
And I think that's how many would have felt about the late forties and early fifties Studebakers back then. The designs were met with a mixed reception and definitely a mixed audience of lovers, and haters, and probably little middle ground. The design of the late forties / early fifties Studebakers included both the Starlite Coupes and the later bullet nosed models, and they came from the pen of Robert Bourke. Bourke had started with Studebaker as part of the design team in 1940 earning $75 dollars a week. The team was led by Raymond Loewy during the 1940s, and Loewy had a talented team working on Studebaker designs, including Bourke, Vince Gardner and, Gordon Buehrig (who was responsible for the great-looking Cord models), and Virgil Exner, (Exner later went on to work for Chrysler Corp and was responsible for their "Forward Look" designs of the fifties and beyond)
