Gallery in the 'new' extension building to the Palais (1968-73).
This is known as the Spence Halls, honouring British architect Sir Basil Spence, one of the building's major architects. The 'new' E building was a team project led by architect Eugène Beaudoin (France); the others were Jacques Carlu (France), Pier Luigi Nervi (Italy) and Carlo Broggi (Italy) who had also been a member of the Palais architectural team in the 1920s.
The window was the world’s biggest when it was built in 1971.
The Palais des Nations was built between 1929 and 1938 at the Avenue de la Paix in Geneva, to house the League of Nations. The League failed in 1939 at the outbreak of war and the buildings became the headquarters of the United Nations in 1946 after the end of World War II.

October 26, 2015. Casselman is bordered by farmland on two sides, and a large natural area on the other two,with this river running between them. So in the fall it is host to hundreds of geese as they fly south (I keep yelling at them to come back, that summer's not over, but they don't listen).
Melanesian culture to love and take care of our Nation in order to go forward and do not go away because of lack of participation of the younger generation.
Bridge connecting three medieval kingdoms in a rare time of peace. The bridge is constructed over the Marahan River which separates 3 very distinct landscapes. Even though it was a time of peace, each kingdom heavily guarded their border in case any country tried to break the peace.
This was displayed this past weekend at Brickworld in Wheeling, IL.
Enjoy!
This is looking straight up out of a 'pit' that we named the bellybutton or Alts'a. It was carved by the wind, in the rocks shown in the previous picture. Fort Defiance, Arizona. this is the whole hole, it's a pit, not a window. If you squint or look at the large version you can see my tripod on the rim, I didn't carry it down with me. This is a 'manual HDR', in that I took several photos at diff't exposures and then blended them...
The Council Chamber - also known as the Francisco de Vitoria Room.
The murals were painted on canvas by the Catalan artist José María Sert and gifted by Spain in 1936. They depict human progress through health, technology, freedom and peace – all united by five colossal figures representing the five continents.

Environment water transport system. The water cycle consists of precipitation, vapour transport, evaporation, evapo-transpiration, infiltration, groundwater flow and runoff. Figure 1 explains the global water cycle, illustrating how nearly 577,000 km3 of water circulates through the cycle each year. A table of estimated residence times shows the approximate times that water resources exist as biospheric water, atmospheric water and so on. The world’s surface water is affected by varying levels of precipitation, evaporation and runoff, in different regions. Figure 2 illustrates the different rates at which these processes affect the major regions of the world, and the resulting uneven distribution of freshwater. Water is transported in various forms within the hydrologic cycle. Shiklomanov in Gleick (1993) estimates that each year about 502,800 km3 of water evaporates over the oceans and seas, 90% of which (458,000 km3) returns directly to the oceans through precipitation, while the remainder (44,800 km3) falls over land. With evapo-transpiration and evaporation totalling about 74,200 km3, the total volume in the terrestrial hydrologic cycle is about 119,000 km3. Around 35% of this, or 44,800 km3, is returned to the oceans as run-off from rivers, groundwater and glaciers. A considerable portion of river flow and groundwater percolation never reaches the ocean, having evaporated in internal runoff areas or inland basins which lack outlets to the ocean. However, some groundwater that bypasses the river systems reaches the oceans. Annually the hydrologic cycle circulates nearly 577,000 km3 of water (Gleick, 1993).

Road Trip to San Diego for the Raiders vs Chargers game. When my Sorority sister and I were in New Orleans we met a couple of the officers of the Raider Nation South LA crew. They invited us to join them for the Raiders/Chargers game. They promised we would be treated like family. That is exactly what happened. Of course we met a few Sorority sisters that were in that chapter. We had such a good time. Looking forward to joining them again next year.
In a precedent-setting initiative in cooperation with the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), the United Nations System and its agencies (UNICEF, WFP, WHO), together with the ICRC and NGOs, launched OLS in April 1989. In 1990, with the armed conflict intensifying and poor rainfall still crippling food production, the Government of Sudan appealed to the UN to continue OLS activities. The result is a 0-million Plan of Action, with UNICEF focusing on provision of emergency non-food relief and support for rehabilitation.

I have to be thankful to Chandrachoodan for getting permission to shoot within the Chennai Central railway station.
I remember a default wallpaper in Windows 95 operating system that had a railway station with 2 trains. That is the picture that came to my mind when I saw this during the Photowalk. I try to do a similar processing to get the effect.

Carrie Nation (1846-1911) was a leader of the temperance and woman's suffrage movements. After the death of her first husband due to alcoholism, she became a vocal critic of the alcoholic beverage industry. The "Kansas cyclone" began to engage in violent acts of protest that involved her using a hatchet to destroy bars. She sold miniature hatchets to support the cause. This postcard appears to show supporters who wear the hatchets as a sign of their support of the temperance movement.
The United Nations Headquarters site in Manhattan covers approximately sixteen acres from 42nd to 48th Streets between First Avenue and the East River. Among the buildings on the premises are the marble-framed 39-storey Secretariat (to the left); the General Assembly building topped with a shallow dome; the Dag Hammarskjöld Library (to the left of the Secretariat); and the building housing the Council Chambers and Conference Rooms which lies on the river's edge. 23/Aug/1985.

I was inspired by Nation's Pride - a fictional propaganda film from Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino. I needed a tower from Normandy to my other build. :) It turnes out that the tower in the film is in fact the town hall tower from Gorlitz, at Polish border.
Global water type by percentage. Estimates of global water resources based on several different calculation methods have produced varied estimates. Shiklomanov in Gleick (1993) estimated that: - The total volume of water on earth is 1.4 billion km3. - The volume of freshwater resources is 35 million km3, or about 2.5% of the total volume. Of these, 24 million km3 or 68.9% is in the form of ice and permanent snow cover in mountainous regions, and in the Antarctic and Arctic regions. - Some 8 million km3 or 30.8% is stored underground in the form of groundwater (shallow and deep groundwater basins up to 2,000 metres, soil moisture, swamp water and permafrost). This constitutes about 97% of all the freshwater potentially available for human use. - Freshwater lakes and rivers contain an estimated 105,000 km3 or 0.3% of the world’s freshwater. - The total usable freshwater supply for ecosystems and humans is 200,000 km3 of water, which is less than 1% of all freshwater resources, and only 0.01% of all the water on earth (Gleick, 1993; Shiklomanov, 1999).
