I put this picture up once in color, different crop, etc. etc. I'm experimenting with sepia once more ... I really don't know why.

這張很糊的照片告訴我四件事
1.到紐西蘭前一定要買好回程機票，不然免簽會被打槍，飛不過去
2.新加坡人不知道台灣到紐西蘭免簽
3.如果TOEIC考試放的是新加坡版本，我一定考零分
4.你可以把轉機的時間抓很緊，但是不能是在新加坡...
As best I can make out, these small concrete blocks with vertical slotted steel uprights were the anchor points for Admiralty Scaffolding Obstacle Z.1, the uprights also projected down into the beach with four steel rods to assist them. These were evenly spaced in rows supporting the Beach Scaffolding erected around them. Designed as a Anti-Landing Obstacle to Landing Craft and to impede Tanks, Vehicles and Infantry's movement. Work on the Beach Scaffolding started in March 1941, carried out by the Pioneer Corps, but progress was slow, other Units including Artillery, Reserves and Personnel from Headquarters were brought in to speed up the process. By the end of the year some 91 miles of the scheduled 110 miles had been constructed by Eastern Command.
There are many Anti-Invasion Obstacles, one such Obstacle is Admiralty Scaffolding, also known as Obstacle Z.1 or sometimes simply given as Beach Scaffolding or Anti-Tank Scaffolding, it was a British design of an Anti-Tank and Anti-Boat Obstacle made of tubular steel poles. Which were widely deployed on beaches of southern England, eastern England and the south western peninsula during the invasion crisis of 1940 to 1941, Scaffolding was also used, though more sparingly, inland.
Of a number of similar designs, by far the most common was designated ''Obstacle Z.1'' this design comprised of upright tubes 9ft high and 4ft 10in apart, these were connected by up to four horizontal tubes, each upright was braced by a pair of diagonal tubes, at about 45° to the rear, 20ft wide sections were preassembled and then carried to the sea to be placed in position at the half tide mark as an Obstacle to Anti-Landing Craft.
However, trials found that a 250 ton barge at 5 1⁄2 knots (6.3 mph) or an 80 ton trawler at 7 1⁄2 knots (8.6 mph) would pass through the Obstacle as if it were not there and a trawler easily pulled out one bay with an attached wire rope. Tests in October 1940, confirmed that Tanks could only break through with difficulty, as a result Obstacle Z.1 was adopted as an Anti-Tank Barrier for beaches thought suitable for landing Tanks. As an Anti-Tank Barrier it was placed at or just above the high water point where it would be difficult for Tanks to get enough momentum to break through the Barrier. In some places, two sets of Beach Scaffolding were set up, one in the water against Boats and one at high water against Tanks.
The problem of securing the Anti-Tank Barriers on sand was overcome by the development of the Sword Picket by Stewarts & Lloyds, this device was later known at the Admiralty as the ''Wallace Sword'' Anti-Tank Barriers varying in length from a couple of hundred feet to three miles were constructed consuming 50% of Britain's production of scaffolding steel at an estimated cost of £6,600 per mile (equivalent to £360,000 today) despite this, many miles of Admiralty Scaffolding was erected using more than 15,000 miles of scaffolding tube. After the war, the Scaffolding got in the way of swimmers, and was soon removed for scrap and any remaining traces are now very rare, but are occasionally revealed by storms !
Often times there will be obstacles in the water such as large boulders or floating logs. The task may require you to do some backing or side-pass work in the water.

Barnabas (Bing) came to us with 5 rides in the spring of 2012 and he has already completed his second mt. trail competition. He loves obstacle work and doing tasks with his 12 yr. rider. He even long lines over obstacles! He naturally has what it takes to be a good obstacle horse: intelligence, bravery, sure-footedness, and a strong desire to please his leader.

I spotted these 8 Anti Tank Obstacles on the B157 about 100 yards east of PILLBOX (TYPE FW3/24) S0005044 they are south of the the road .... they do not have a DOB site reference of their own but are mentioned in description of S0005044

Students and Staff ran the Troup County Police Obstacle Course as their final team-building activity. The teams worked together to not only get each other through the course, but also their pet tire.

what does an ant do?
it finds a way around
goes underneath
climbs above
finds another opening
it keeps plugging away
it seems to never give up…
