All boatins queuing up to get fresh bait before they go off in the morning. San Diego, California, USA
The FFA were allocated more tickets for the round of 16 match between Australia and Italy in Kaiserslautern on Monday. This enterprising hotel employee saw a quick buck to be made selling water and bratwurst at extortionate prices to the hungry and thirsty Aussie hopefuls.
This queue took about 25 minutes to crawl through. "Traffic management" was apparently the cause. No idea what that means!
A rush of devotees queueing up in front of the Darshan Deori in order to cross the causeway to enter the Darbar Sahib in the Golden Temple in Amritsar. This is on a Sunday and the crowd of devotees means that it will take quite some time to get inside. There are separate queues for men and women, and there are many other people who are just sitting, either on the ground, or on carpets that are on the ground.
The Golden Temple is one of the most famous monuments in Amritsar, in the state of Punjab in North India. It is the spiritiual headquarters of the Sikh religion, and is a very well visited place. Besides Sikhs, people from other religions visit the temple, it being an open place. The temple is also referred to as the Harmandir Sahib or the Darbar Sahib, and was built during the 16th century by the fifth Sikh Guru (completed in the year 1604), Guru Arjan Dev around a holy tank. Earlier to this, in 1577, the fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das ji excavated a tank which came to be known as Amritsar. The Harmandir Sahib symbolizes openess, and has four doors to depict the same. Over a period of time, modifications were done, such as the layering of gold over the dome by the ruler of the time, Maharajah Ranjit Singh.
The holy nature of the Golden Temple is also symbolized by the presence of the Holy Book of the Sikhs, the Guru Granth Sahib. The central structure of the Gurudwara is surrounded by a holy tank of water, with a causeway over this body of water. There are some restrictions for entering the site, such as the removal of shoes before entering (and washing ones feet in a small pool of water as well), covering the hair through a scarf or some other cloth, and ensuring that they show proper respect towards the central shrine.
The Golden Temple is also the location for a major military operation (Operation Blue Star in 1984), where the Indian Army went in against Sikh militants lead by Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale inside the compound of the Golden Temple, with bullets and even machine guns inside the compound. The operation was a major operation, with the death of more than 500 people reported (including soldiers, militants and civilians). It was also very controversial, since this was seen as an attack on the spiritual center of Sikhs, and lead to some desertions in the army, and also an attack on the Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, by her own Sikh bodyguards which resulted in her death.

The Great Court at the British Museum, a masterful conversion by Sir Norman Foster & Associates of the redundant central spaces of the former courtyard around the famous round Reading Room.
This central hub of the museum plays such a vital role in connecting the various wings and galleries it is hard to recall just how awkward accessing the Museum's layout used to be.
The bright, clean contemporary look with sweeping glazed roof compliments the 19th century courtyard facades and porticoes (one of which was recreated in new stone following demolition of the storerooms that once cluttered this space).

The final days for Forever 21 at Promenade Temecula, I talked to an associate and she said their final day would be the 29th of this month so I assume most stores will close either that day or as their merch sells out...
the store's main register line, there was lots of people browsing and buying stuff taking advantage of the sale, I ended up buying a reusable bag and a small Christmas tree tiara (it supposed to light up but I guess the battery died but I can still use it next Christmas) and I did ask about the bags, the employee said once they get closer to the end of the sale they'll be selling them so I'll try and buy 3, one for me, one for my grandma and one for my kid sister who used to spend hours here checking out clothes and stuff...
The queue for the Alvinne Craft Beer Festival 2012 in front of the entrance of the Alvinne brewery, in Moen, about 30 minutes before the noon opening on the first day (March 3rd).

Some photos Jayne took with the compact camera. Only a few because a lot are very similar to ones of mine that I already uploaded.
This is part of the queue for the building with the throne room in it. The queue was enormous and it was already at least 30 degrees so we decided not to join the queue.
Instead we are going to make sure we get to Knossos when the gates open the next time we visit Crete and do the throne room straight away.
