This is a front view of the Sanki Most Spomenik.
Built in 1970 by Petar Krstić, this spomenik at Sanski Most, Bosnia was built not only as a memorial to the victims of the Axis occupation that terrorized the Sanski Most area during WWII, but also, this is a memorial to the victims of the "Rebellion of the Sana Peasants", in which the local population of Sanski Most area revolted against the oppression by the Ustaše occupying forces.

With most of the gas buses re-entered service since lockdown, the 49 are not yet ready for service. Because at the time, it is operating via an exact change policy and the Navy 4's has that fitted, so it was easier to use them rather than the 49 branded bio-gas. However, faced with a new destination panel already losing it's frequency and the student price.

Notes about these pictures: Most of my Chemtrail pictures were taken in Dayton, Ohio--home of The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base -- final resting place of the Roswell aliens <:-0 -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting Chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and I have 1000's of pictures and videos since I began documenting Chemtrails regularly, in late 2014. The level of Chemtrail activity here is astonishing, and is being conducted, as they say, in plain sight. Looking back through my film archive of slides & negatives, I have convincing evidence of Chemtrailing activity back to the early 1990’s, and chemtraily-looking skies back to the early 1980’s.
I am designating all my Chemtrail pictures and videos uploaded to Flickr as CC0 (Creative Commons Zero), which removes my copyright and releases them into the Public Domain. My goal is to make them available in the highest resolution possible, and without any image processing. They are archived on Flickr under "Chem Trailchaser".
I hope by making these images widely available, it will accelerate interest, research, study and more documentation from all over the world. Please, download, copy, backup, mirror, share and use & improve as many of these photos as you can! Thanks for looking - Chem
Most of the Bord na Mona system relied on Railcars such as C49 and C71 seen here for staff movement to and from the peat bogs, but there were a few unpowered carriages too. This is the body of a former Cardiff Corporation Leyland Royal Tiger bus mounted on a rail frame and seen at the Mountdillon complex in May 1988.

This most definitely is my "photo of the year". We were heading towards Conselve in the south of the province of Padua when I saw the unmistakable shape of a Fiat 241 in front. I began the pursuit and after overtaking it, I realised it was "THE" Fiat 241 with an adapted Fiat 238E plastic grille I had seen, and not photographed, away back in 2002, because I had left my camera at home (a rare occasion even in the days of film). After being overtaken, the van turned down a side street heading into the fields, so I did a swift U-turn at a petrol station, and turned down the same road until I spotted my target parked in a field.
What a day!!!!
I'll never understand why they adapted a Fiat 238 E plastic grille to this van, also because it required cutting off the upper half of the original metal rectangular grille with an angle grinder, as the painted metal lower section of the 238E's grille is too shallow. Maybe they wanted to give the van a more modern look, who knows?
Had Fiat decided to keep the 241 in production longer, maybe it would have shared the "new look" plastic grille of the 238E, making it a 241E, definitely an interesting might-have-been.
Most pictures on flickr of flowers show the flora in its full colour. This caught my eye - just turning purple.

Most people pull up this little beauty, I take photo's of it!! LOL Thanks Flickr for letting me show the beauty of nature!!
Final selection of these. Most others were doubles.
Not the feedback I was expecting, so I won't ask for more from my friend.
Hope some have enjoyed these or found interesting.

Eastern Coach Works[1] was a bus and train bodybuilder based in Lowestoft, England.
The origins of Eastern Coach Works (ECW) can be traced back to 1912, when United Automobile Services was founded in Lowestoft to run bus services.[2] United began a coach building business at the Lowestoft site in 1920.[3] In 1931, the East Anglian operations of United were hived off into a new company, Eastern Counties Omnibus Company, and Eastern Counties inherited the coach works - now concentrating on building bus bodies, with a workforce of over 600 people.[4] In July 1936, the coach works were separated into a new company, Eastern Coach Works Limited, which developed into the largest full-time employer in Lowestoft.[1][4][5]
In May 1940, the factory received orders from the military authorities to cease production. It was thought that, following the outbreak of World War II, the East Coast would be the first target for an invading German army, so all wheeled vehicles were moved away from the site so that they did not fall into enemy hands. As a result of this, 950 staff were laid off with production shifted to Irthlingborough.[4][5] By 1947, though, production was back to pre-war levels.
ECW was nationalised in 1947. For the next 18 years, its business consisted mainly of building bus bodies, which were mounted on Bristol chassis, for state-owned bus operators. In 1965, the state-owned Transport Holding Company sold a 25% share in ECW to Leyland Motors, which enabled ECW to sell to the private sector.[6][7][8] During the 1960s, it was common to see a bare bus chassis being driven through town by a goggle-wearing driver, delivering the chassis for a body. In 1969, ECW became part of a 50/50 joint venture between the National Bus Company (successor to the Transport Holding Company) and British Leyland (successor to Leyland Motors).
The materials to build the buses came into the Coachworks via Essex Road at the back of the factory, but the newly built buses were driven out of the big doors at the front. They drove down the short, narrow lane, with no pavements called Eastern Way, on their way to their new depot. Eastern Way used to be called Laundry Lane, but the name was changed to Eastern Way following the opening of Eastern Coachworks.[8]
The joint venture came to an end in 1982, when British Leyland bought out NBC's shareholding. ECW closed in January 1987.[5][9] The site was subsequently demolished to make way for the North Quay Retail Park, which opened in 1990.[8][10] ECW was one of Lowestoft's largest employers, with around 1,200 staff at its peak
ECW was probably best known for its close association with Bristol Commercial Vehicles. Amongst the Bristol buses most frequently bodied at Lowestoft were the:
Bristol LH - a small, single deck bus (1970s)
Bristol Lodekka - a front-engined double deck bus (1950s and 1960s)
Bristol RE - a single deck bus (1960s and 1970s)
Bristol VRT - a rear-engined double deck bus (1970s), successor to the Lodekka
Leyland Olympian - a rear engined double deck bus (1980's) successor to Bristol VRT

Most likely the ugliest rolling stock on the railway of the UK but shuttling passengers between Gatwick's busy Airport in London (LGW) to London Victoria station which offers links to other parts of the UK as well as the City of London are these Class 442 units, this pair numbered 442420 & 442424 sit at Gatwick Airport loading passengers onto the next services to London Victoria the service branded as Express and operated by Southern Railways runs every 20-30 minutes during the day and frequently during the night. The units certainly aren't eye pleasing but do the job running in pairs most of the day. The Railway station here is connected to the terminal and certainly gives one of the best links by rail from any UK Airport with trains stopping here every 5-10 minutes.
Detroit is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the fourth-largest city in the Midwest and the largest city on the United States–Canada border. It is the seat of Wayne County, the most populous county in the state. Detroit's metropolitan area, known as Metro Detroit, is home to 5.3 million people, making it the fourteenth-most populous metropolitan area in the United States and the second-largest in the Midwestern United States (behind Chicago). It is a major port on the Detroit River, a strait that connects the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The City of Detroit anchors the second-largest economic region in the Midwest, behind Chicago, and the thirteenth-largest in the United States.
Detroit is the center of a three-county urban area (population 3,734,090, area of 1,337 square miles (3,460 km2), a 2010 United States Census) six-county metropolitan statistical area (2010 Census population of 4,296,250, area of 3,913 square miles [10,130 km2]), and a nine-county Combined Statistical Area (2010 Census population of 5,218,852, area of 5,814 square miles [15,060 km2]). The Detroit–Windsor area, a commercial link straddling the Canada–U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,700,000. The Detroit metropolitan region holds roughly one-half of Michigan's population.
Detroit was founded on July 24, 1701, by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and a party of settlers. With expansion of the automobile industry, the Detroit area emerged as a significant metropolitan region within the United States in the early 20th century, when the city became the fourth-largest in the country for a period. In the 1950s and 1960s, expansion continued with construction of a regional freeway system.
Due to industrial restructuring and loss of jobs in the auto industry, Detroit lost considerable population from the late 20th century to present. Between 2000 and 2010 the city's population fell by 25 percent, changing its ranking from the nation's 10th-largest city to 18th. In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777, more than a 60 percent drop from a peak population of over 1.8 million at the 1950 census. This resulted from suburbanization, industrial restructuring, and the decline of Detroit's auto industry. Following the shift of population and jobs to its suburbs or other states or nations, the city has focused on becoming the metropolitan region's employment and economic center. Downtown Detroit has held an increased role as an entertainment destination in the 21st century, with the restoration of several historic theatres, several new sports stadiums, and a riverfront revitalization project. More recently, the population of Downtown Detroit, Midtown Detroit, and a handful of other neighborhoods has increased. Many other neighborhoods remain distressed, with extensive abandonment of properties.
The Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, declared a financial emergency for the city in March 2013, appointing an emergency manager. On July 18, 2013, Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history. It was declared bankrupt by Judge Steven W. Rhodes of the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on December 3, 2013; he cited its $18.5 billion debt and declared that negotiations with its thousands of creditors were unfeasible. On November 7, 2014, Judge Rhodes approved the city's bankruptcy plan, allowing the city to begin the process of exiting bankruptcy. The City of Detroit successfully exited Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy with all finances handed back to the city at midnight on December 11, 2014.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María a los cielos) is the largest cathedral in the Americas, and seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico. It is situated atop the former Aztec sacred precinct near the Templo Mayor on the northern side of the Plaza de la Constitución in Downtown Mexico City. The cathedral was built in sections from 1573 to 1813 around the original church that was constructed soon after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan, eventually replacing it entirely. Spanish architect Claudio de Arciniega planned the construction, drawing inspiration from Gothic cathedrals in Spain. The cathedral is home to two of the largest 18th-century organs in the Americas. There is a crypt underneath the cathedral that holds the remains of many former archbishops. Over the centuries, the cathedral has suffered damage. A fire in 1967 destroyed a significant part of the cathedral's interior. The restoration work that followed uncovered a number of important documents and artwork that had previously been hidden. Although a solid foundation was built for the cathedral, the soft clay soil it is built on has been a threat to its structural integrity. Dropping water tables and accelerated sinking caused the structure to be added to the World Monuments Fund list of the 100 Most Endangered Sites. Reconstruction work beginning in the 1990s stabilized the cathedral and it was removed from the endangered list in 2000.
Boot Hill - perhaps the most notorious of cemeteries of the Old West. Just outside of Tombstone, this is the final resting place of some of Tombstone's best known residents - as well as some humorous tombstone inscriptions.
Tombstone, Arizona - The 'town too tough to die', and perhaps one of the most famous of the wild western 'ghost' towns. Founded in 1879 near several very lucrative mines, Tombstone grew rapidly from dozens of people in 1879, to thousands in 1880, peaking at close to 15,000 in 1881. Located in the rugged far southeast corner of the Arizona Territory, Tombstone was a wild and lawless city, and home of Wyatt Earp and the Shootout at the OK Corral. But by the mid-1880's, the mines were largely played out, and became flooded with water, and Tombstone began to fade away.
But it never really died off. Despite the closures of the mines and devastating fires, several hundred people remained, and Tombstone remained the county seat and center of activity for the region for many decades. As the mystique and allure of the 'Old West' grew in popular culture grew, Tombstone seized on the opportunity and turned the town into somewhat of an amusement park, and now draws close to half a million visitors per year.
The downtown district has been restored into a 'wild west' main street, with dozens of tourist shops and trinket stores. There are several restaurants and saloons and dinner theaters, and on the edge of town you can tour the mines. Actors dressed up in costume roaming the streets, and hold reenactments and shootouts several times a day. All pure tourist kitsch, of course - the type of place where you can get your 'old time' black and white portrait taken in period dress, then head over to buy fudge and hot dogs and little shot glasses with Tombstone etched in the side. Don't get me wrong - it's fun for the whole family with an entire day's worth of entertainment, but don't go expecting some authentic western experience.
I passed through on New Year's Eve 2007, with a limited amount of time available because I was driving to California that day, so it was just a quick visit and a taste of what was available. Furthermore, I was coming down with a particularly nasty case of the flu, starting out the day in okay shape but heading downhill rapidly, so I wasn't in the mood for big-crowd-type of events.
Here's what I did do in Tombstone: I perused the downtown historic district for a while, then headed over to the former county courthouse (which serves as a museum). On a bend in the highway out of town is an abandoned tourist trap called 'Wyatt Earp's Old Tombstone' - a mini-reproduction western town now faded and falling to pieces. And finally, on the outskirts of town is the famous Boot Hill, one of the most notorious cemeteries in the West.
If I had more time, there were plenty more attractions to visit. But with the effects of the flu dragging me down and many miles of road ahead of me, I left Tombstone early, and headed west to a stop at nearby Fairbank, a REAL abandoned ghost town just a few miles away.

One of the most iconic Touring Cars in Australia, Dick Johnson's Greens-Tuf Falcon was seen in 3 iterations.
Pictured
A recreation of Dick Johnson’s famous Greens-Tuf Ford Falcon as part of a new program launched by V8 Race Experience.
The firm, which runs a fleet of late-model, production based Falcon and Commodore V8s throughout Australia, has added the replica to its stable with the endorsement of Johnson.
Although not part of Johnson’s team during the Group C era, DJR legend John Bowe’s ongoing association with V8 Race saw him kick-start the replica idea.
Like the original it has a Volkmann Motorsport built 351 Cleveland V8 that produces around 500bhp.
No#3
The XE Falcon campaigned by the team was built over the 1983/84 off-season, and made its debut at the opening event of the 1984 season.
Dick completed a highly consistent season - finishing on the podium at every event, and despite only taking one round win (at Surfers Paradise Raceway), claimed the 1984 ATCC in the car.
John French returned to drive with Dick in the endurance races, and after starting third at Bathurst, the race ended for the car with a broken axle after 107 laps. Following the final Group C-era race in November 1984, the car was retired from competition and retained by the team. The car now forms part of the Bowden collection.
No#2
The 2nd car was purchased by the team from a fellow competitor (Andrew Harris) on the Saturday evening of Bathurst 1983, the DJR, Harris and TAFE Repair teams worked through the night to convert this 'new' car into a DJR Greens-Tuf XE, as a replacement for the car destroyed in Hardie's Heroes.
The conversion included stripping the damaged shell of its undamaged mechanical components, installing them into the new car, repainting & signwriting, and electrical work.
The rebuilt car was rolled onto the grid - with its paintwork still damp - to a standing ovation, just in time for the race start. Unfortunately a faulty electrical fuse in the dash ended the team’s day after 61 laps.
The car was sold following the Bathurst 1000 race, as a new DJR XE Falcon was under construction for 1984.
No#1
Debuted in the 1982 Endurance Races in Palmer Red Roo pipe colours (blue car with red bumpers), the XE Falcon had several changes & upgrades over the XD model. At Bathurst 1982, Dick, again paired with John French, crossed the line in 4th place, however was later excluded due to a technical infringement.
Still with Red Roo signage, but now all-blue in colour, the 1983 ATCC season was a tough one, as the team continued to develop the car with new homologated components (including larger wheels & tyres and a new aero pack). Dick finished the ATCC season in 6th place.
For the 1983 Endurance races, Dick paired with Kevin Bartlett, and the car appeared in the famous Greens-Tuf colours for the first time. During the Hardie’s Heroes (top 10 shootout) at Bathurst, Dick clipped the tyre bundle on the exit of Forrest’s Elbow, sending the car crashing through the trees next to the track. The mechanicals of the destroyed car were transferred into a new car rebuilt overnight at Bathurst.
Most galaxies are found in groups or clusters. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, for example, is part of group of around 50 nearby galaxies dubbed the Local Group. But this galaxy, cataloged as NGC 6503, is located at the edge of a strangely empty patch of space called the Local Void.
The Local Void is a stretch of space that is at least 150 million light-years across. It seems completely empty of stars or galaxies. The galaxy's odd location on the edge of this celestial blank spot led stargazer Stephen James O'Meara to dub NGC 6503 the "Lost-In-Space galaxy."
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows NGC 6503 in striking detail and with a rich set of colors. Bright red patches of gas can be seen scattered through its swirling spiral arms, mixed with bright blue regions that contain newly forming stars. Dark brown dust lanes snake across the galaxy's bright arms and center, giving it a mottled appearance.

Most of this critter looks like its slightly smaller cousin, the Blue Dasher. However the facial features are diagnostic between these two... the light white-yellow face and light aqua eyes of the Dasher species are unique. This guy's eyes are much darker and his face is green (visible even in this rearward view). These facial features are diagnostic for discriminating between these two species. This guy is a common reed percher... I've seldom seen them to sit on the ground.

Duddo Five Stones is amongst the most attractive prehistoric monuments in Britain. The elliptical setting of five stones was probably originally a stone circle. It is not of the same dimensions as the large examples proposed to be meeting places or religious centres but it may be possible that it was erected to mark a cremation burial at its centre. The delightful markings and shapes of the stones are mostly due to natural weathering but they appear to have been narrowed and smoothed at the bases. They have acquired several names in antiquity including “The Women”, possibly a reference to their shapes, and '”The Singing Stones” due to the fluting which is believed to trap the wind. Several quaint folklore traditions relating to the origin of the stones have also been recorded. One is that they were erected in memory of Scots who fell at Grindon Marsh in 1558 and another that they are the petrified remains of five men who were digging turnips on the Sabbath and were turned to stone as a punishment. Their leader is said to have been knocked flat on his back, where he remains to this day!
By most accounts it is a beautiful day on the beach. The sky is almost cloudless and the warm sun is balanced by a cool breeze out of the northeast. That is, of course, unless you are a small hatchling oystercatcher out walking the beach with mom and dad. If you are, at ground level the wind is strong enough to knock you off your feet, and large grains of sand pelt you continually, making it difficult to see. Mom seeks refuge behind a small branch. It would seem an unlikely cover, however, wind deflection around the branch probably helps to smooth out the wind behind it, not unlike the wake of a boat. A very young oystercatcher chick huddles next to mom for comfort and occasionally even crawls under her wing. #ILoveWildlife #ILoveNature #WildlifePhotography in #America #Birds #Birding #Oystercatchers
Most of us believe "Fung Shui". Especially the people live in villages. The little blocks on the hill are the places for keeping their ancestor’s bones. They are putting in big ceramic bottles and with metal gates to keep away from animals. Large family has more bottles inside.
Normally, they are in good “Fung Shui” locations. Ancestor's grave with a good "Fung Shui” location shall offering blessings to the descendant’s health and wealth, as they believe.
