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.
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.

In all the times I've been to Epcot, I've never been able to get any Fountain of Nations shots that I've been happy with. I'm not really sure why, but this fountain has always been such a challenge for me.
On my last visit to Epcot, I was able to get several shots that I thought were passable. I guess that this visit makes up for all the ones that I've come back empty handed!
A legendary hostelry, and one of only four surviving brewpubs in the UK in the 1970s, when the Campaign for Real Ale was founded.
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.

The Easter Parade terminated outside my apartment block but as my windows face away from Bolton Street I was afraid that I might not be able to get any usable photographs of the parade but things did work out too bad even though members of the public did frequently block my view of the event.
Since Ireland joined the United Nations in 1955, the Army has been deployed on many peacekeeping missions. The first of these took place in 1958, when a small number of observers were sent to Lebanon. A total of 86 Irish soldiers have died in the service of the United Nations since 1960
As of 1 December 2015, 493 Defence Force personnel are serving in 12 different missions throughout the world including Lebanon (UNIFIL), Syria (UNDOF), Middle East (UNTSO), Kosovo (KFOR), German-led Battle Group 2016 and other observer and staff appointments to UN, EU, OSCE and PfP posts. The largest deployments include:
Lebanon (UNIFIL) 51 Infantry Group, Syria (UNDOF) 50 Infantry Group.
The Army has historically purchased and used weapons and equipment from other western countries, mainly from European nations. Ireland has a very limited arms industry and rarely produces its own armaments.
From its establishment the Army used the British-made Lee–Enfield .303 rifle, which would be the mainstay for many decades. In the 1960s some modernisation came with the introduction of the Belgian-made FN FAL 7.62 mm assault rifle. Since 1989 the service rifle for the Army is the Austrian-made Steyr AUG 5.56 mm assault rifle (used by all branches of the Defence Forces).
Other weapons in use by the Army include the USP 9mm pistol, FN MAG machine gun, M2 Browning machine gun, Accuracy International Arctic Warfare sniper rifles, AT4 SRAAW, FGM-148 Javelin Anti-tank guided missile, L118 105mm Howitzer, RBS 70 Surface to Air Missile system.
The Army has purchased 80 Swiss made Mowag Piranha Armoured personnel carriers which have become the Army's primary vehicle in the Mechanised infantry role. These are equipped with 12.7 mm HMGs, or the Oto Melara 30 mm Autocannon. The army also has 27 RG Outrider light tactical armoured vehicles. The Army has no tanks, but does have a variant of the FV101 Scorpion light armoured reconnaissance vehicle, with a 76.2 mm main gun.

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.
"If I am most looked down upon, yet he inspired me, before others, so that I would faithfully serve the nations with awe and reverence and without blame."

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).

This is our First Nations kitsuke. I collaborated with Alyssa Kit to create an outfit inspired by the colourful clothing used in traditional First Nations dances. Dangling decorations are common on such outfits, and I thought the hanging wisteria pattern on the sleeves of the kimono would mimic this. I also included a wrapped shawl with a fringe for this effect. I would have liked to include some jingles too, but time was not on my side with regards pulling things together. I also had hopes to use some lovely beaded moccasins provided by Erica Pai, but they ended up being much to big for our model.
