Gee, pretty descriptive name for a swimsuit like this!
A lovely model from the Phillipines. She is shown here at Lanikai. One of the many beautiful beaches on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

This shot in the Charley Atlas series is extra curious. This view is more descriptive of the Atlas site and shows a basement beneath the Atlas erection garage. It appears a lot of the trashed structure has been dumped below. The truth is that the open area floor above had a hole for the rocket blast to avoid frying everything in the launch structure. The slant of soil in the basement helped direct the blast outward, this way, into the cement-lined blast trough, bottom-right. Reinforced concrete with strange holes and garage openings were zits from our adolescent face. Were it that the US would ever grow up! Boy George and his Papa George proved that we can't. Media is now repleat with Saudi and Jewish ads lambasting Iran's nuke power program; talk about weird bed fellows! Our Afganistan and Iraqi campaigns worked so very well, that it is time to start another campaign agains Iran! The American poor and middle class can always pay for it while the 1%ers should get a free pass while clipping their war bonds.
These cement structures are curious and curiouser. I maneuvered to capture this shot as best I could at my widest zoom. It was clear that a lot of the steel in the structure was torched off during abandonment. I buzzed around trying to capture the installation's architecture, though essentially stripped. The two story "garage" in the middle was where the Atlas I rockets were stood up in the slot, originally covered by a split, sliding roof. A gantry stood the missles vertically. Phil and I spent some study time on an Atlas site and learned a lot. They hauled the Atlas rockets in sideways and then tipped them up using a crane/gantry. It was empty at that time. One tank was kerosene and the other LOX. They would get a warning and load the kerosene and then the LOX, if the fire command was given, they had 7 minutes to launch but they could not leave fuel in the rocket. Their stainless tanks were thin but needed to be full for structural integrity during launch and flight. No telling how many simulation cyles occured. Atlas mechanical gyros were flaky and were prone to going way off. The Atlas was the only rocket that could boost John Glenn into orbit at the time, but Phil said the odds of disaster was about 25%. God speed, John!
eDDie and I proceeded to capture strange Wyoming under the building sky. I'm all about skies. Skies are the pretty much becoming soup for the day while we crept up on rainfall records in our area. It's clear that there is limited time during the great skies. This series is near the end of the road in Nowhere, Wyoming. This road did not lead to somewhere but rather to something. These premium clouds would soon bite us. I have no idea why we had to travel a dirt road to get to a derelict paved road. It was a toss up which one might have been worse or worser, the road or the structures. We traveled a dirt road to arrive at this peculiar place and found rotting asphalt and concrete. Heaven's Gate or Hell's Gate? Take your pick. We certainly turned up something interesting, of course, eDDie is exceptionally "interesting." I guess the current concept is to bring the ecosystem down slowly instead of in a day with nukes ubtil we attack Iran. The ecosystem will take long eons of recovery here. It would be better to plant soil than bunkers. That looks terrifically needy in this area.
Driving in to Cochise Stronghold Campground, I stopped at the descriptive entrance sign. Yes that is snow on the ground in Arizona. The Dragoon Mountains are one of the Sky Islands in southern AZ.
"Cochise Stronghold is located to the west of Sunsites, Arizona in the Dragoon Mountains at an elevation of 5,000 ft. This beautiful woodland area lies in a protective rampart of granite domes and sheer cliffs which were once the refuge of the great Apache Chief, Cochise, and his people. Located within the Coronado National Forest, it is managed by the Douglas Ranger District.
This rugged natural fortress was, for some 15 years, the home and base of operations for the famed Chiricahua Apache Chief, Cochise. Cochise and about 1,000 of his followers, of whom some 250 were warriors, located here.
Born in present-day Arizona, Cochise led the Chiricahua band of the Apache tribe during a period of violent social upheaval. In 1850, the United States took control over the territory that today comprises Arizona and New Mexico. Not hostile to the whites at first, he kept peace with the Anglo-Americans until 1861, when he became their implacable foe because of the blunder of a young U.S. Army officer, Lt. George Bascom. In that year, Cochise and several of his relatives had gone to an encampment of soldiers in order to deny the accusation that they had abducted a child from a ranch. The boy was later proved to have been kidnapped by another band of Apaches.
During the parley, Cochise and his followers were ordered held as hostages by Bascom, but Cochise managed to escape almost immediately by cutting a hole in a tent. Bascom later ordered the other Apache hostages hanged, and the embittered Cochise joined forces with Mangas Coloradas, his father-in-law, in a guerrilla struggle against the American army and settlers. The capture and murder of Mangas Coloradas in 1863 left Cochise as the Apache war chief. The U.S. Army captured him in 1871 and prepared to transfer the Chiricahua to a reservation hundreds of miles away, but he escaped again and renewed the resistance campaign. The following year after negotiating a new treaty with the help of Thomas Jeffords, the band was allowed to stay in their homeland.
Cochise is reputed to have been a master strategist and leader who was never conquered in battle. He died peacefully on the newly formed Chiricahua reservation in 1874. His son, Taza succeeded him as chief. Upon his death, he was secretly buried somewhere in or near his impregnable fortress. The exact location has never been revealed or determined.

description
The DSR-1 rifle was designed by certain German former military ordnance engineers and bench-rest gunsmiths. This rifle is manufactured since 2000 by German company DSR-Precision GmbH. Before 2004 the same rifle was also sold by another German company, the AMP Technical Services, which was a non-exclusive dealer of DSR-Precision but is no longer so. At the present time DRS 1 rifle is being marketed by its only manufacturer, DSR-Precision GmbH. The DSR 1 is a specialized sniper rifle (not a conversion of the standard military or hunting gun). It is adopted by German GSG 9 counter-terror group, as well as by some other elite European law enforcement agencies and certain non-European military Special Operations forces.
The DSR-1 is configured into bull-pup design, with free-floating barrel. The folding bipod is mounted onto upper rails (above the barrel), and the adjustable horizontal front grip is mounted on the lower rails (under the barrel). The rifle features fully adjustable buttstock and cheekpiece. The holder for spare magazine is installed in the front of the triggerguard to decrease reloading time or to have different type of ammunition (i.e. armor piercing) handy. DSR-1 action features match-grade, fluted barrel that is quickly interchangeable and is fixed into receiver by three screws. The action is designed for .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition, with conversion kits available for smaller calibers such as .308 Winchester or .300 Winchester Magnum. The bolt features six radial lugs that lock directly into the barrel. The barrel is protected by ventilated aluminum handguard and is fitted with muzzle brake (very useful when firing full-power magnum loads). The integrally silenced version of the DSR-1, also known as DSR-1 Subsonic, is unusual in the fact that the silencer is attached to the receiver rather than the barrel. Thus, the barrel is still free-floated within the silencer, and this guarantees consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. The trigger is two-stage, adjustable. DSR-1 features manual, ambidextrous three position safety, located above the triggerguard.
The expected accuracy of the DSR-1 is almost extreme: some sources state sub-.2 MOA accuracy (0.20 inch / 5 mm groups measured center-to-center at 100 yards) when shot by experienced operator, with correct ammunition and in good environment conditions.

Dhanyakuria is a non descriptive village, near Barasat, about 40 km from Kolkata.
The non descriptive village houses some magnificent palaces belonging to the Gayen, Ballav, Sahoo and Mondal families.
Out of these the Gayen Bagan Bari of the Gayen Castle stands out.
The Cinderella styled castle is complete with towers and turrents, flanked by battlements and projected oriole windows.
Presently it is in sorry state with and have lost most of its ornamentation. The landscaped garden, with decorative fountains, which surrounded the castle is overgrown with grasses and weeds.
A detailed blog post on the Palaces of Dhanyakuria will be comming up soon in my blog.
A special thanks to my friend and fellow heritage enthusiast for arranging the necessary permission.

The following descriptive text was written by the artist, Martin Travers. Travers painted this outstanding mural in 2002 on a wooden fence in Balmy Alley, the Mission District, San Francisco, California
____________________________________________
“NAYA BIHANA” is about communities taking their power back into their own hands, reclaiming what is theirs, utilizing the natural resources of their communities. The resources that have been taken from them for hundreds of years which have made Europe and North America so rich whilst keeping the rest of the world in dire poverty.
This mural depicts a community that has resisted and is reclaiming its power. The broken chains symbolize the breaking away from the imperial policies of the West and its financial institutions like the World Bank, IMF and the G8.
Nepal was chosen as the subject for this mural because it is one of the poorest countries in the world in which the poorest of them are rising up to regain their dignity and move Nepal into a state of self sufficiency and to determine their own future. Although I chose Nepal to represent an example of people struggling to be self sufficient, it could really be many other places in the world facing similar problems.

This descriptive plaque is located near the entrance to the carousel, with the river in the background.
I suppose it was just an accident of the way the sun was shining on it, but I thought the reflection was pretty cool ...
*******************************
Because I work and live in Manhattan, I don’t often visit the four other boroughs of New York City … but there’s a magical place in Brooklyn that I want to tell you about, located in Brooklyn Bridge Park at the edge of the East River. It’s right on the water, framed by the Manhattan Bridge on the north and the Brooklyn Bridge on the south. A few NYC residents and perhaps even a few visitors are already nodding their heads as they read this, but I suspect that most readers of these Flickr notes are as oblivious as I was, and have never heard of Jane’s Carousel.
“Jane” is, as I’ve now learned, Jane Walentas, an artist who spent 20 years overseeing the restoration of a magnificent 48-horse carousel, created by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, and first installed in a park in Youngstown, Ohio in 1922. Ms. Walentas and her husband, David, bought the carousel and the wooden horses at an auction in 1984 for $385,000; I have no idea what inspired them to do so, or what could possibly have inspired Jane to spend the next 20 years scraping off layers of paint and restoring the original design and colors, the pin-striping and the gold leaf as the carousel sat in a studio in Dumbo (for the non-New Yorkers who might have stumbled onto this page of notes, “DUMBO” is an acronym that means “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass).
Anyway, the carousel was opened in mid-September 2011, and for reasons unknown, I was completely oblivious as to its existence for the next three years. It’s located in a $9 million transparent acrylic “jewel box” that was designed by the French architect Jean Novel, and it’s absolutely stunning to see. My wife coaxed me into taking the somewhat laborious subway ride from the Upper West Side (via the “C” and the “F” trains) over to Brooklyn a couple days ago, and we were lucky to have chosen a brilliantly sunny Saturday afternoon, arriving just at the beginning of the “golden hour” when the light was perfect for photography.
In the three years since it opened, Jane’s Carousel has apparently attracted a lot of attention: there were some New Yorkers like me wandering around, and some visitors from nearby New Jersey and Long Island … but I also heard and saw evidence of visitors from France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Korea, and a lot of other places which would normally have great difficulty distinguishing Brooklyn from the Bronx or Staten Island. You can arrange birthday parties at the carousel; and there were heavily-costumed bridal parties along with the dog-walkers, the photographers, and the tour boats (including the venerable Circle Line) cruising up and down the East River.
And speaking of the East River, one of the most dazzling aspects of this place is the view that you get, with the two mammoth bridges spanning the river, along with the Wall Street skyline, the South Street Seaport, and the massive Freedom Tower in the background. Even if you didn’t spend a minute looking at the brightly painted carousel horses, and listening to the hypnotic music of the carousel, you could easily spend the afternoon watching the tugboats and sailboats and barges and ferries, the cruise boats and the motorboats chugging up and down the river. One can only imagine what it must have been like a century ago, before the railroads and jet planes had eliminated the bulk of water travel.
I’m embarrassed that it took me so long to visit this place, and I hope that you’ll take the hint and go see it yourself, at your first opportunity. If you would like to see some more details about the place, you might want to start with the official website for Jane’s Carousel, located here:

From a descriptive text on Germany's 1950s industrial reconstruction a rather fine view of the post-war reconstruction of the Germania Colliery in Dortmund-Marten, that belonged to the post-war grouping of the G.B.A.G. that had been spun out of the pre-war giant Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG. The company was one of the true giants of the deep coal mining business and operated some large collieries in the Ruhr district around Essen and Gelsenkirchen, shafts being organised so as to best utilise reserves that were both relatively easy to 'win' along with ones that were of more meager output.
I probably need some one with local knowledge but I'm wondering of one of the structures we see here is the headframes now relocated to the German Mining Museum at Bochum when the Germania complex closed in 1971?
The Museum's headframes. that stood over the main shaft of the Germania mine complex in Dortmund-Marten. Designed by renowned industrial architects, Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer, this solid-walled double headframe was constructed in 1943-44.
