The road network of Madagascar, comprising about 4,500 unique roads spanning 31,640 kilometers (19,660 mi), is designed primarily to facilitate transportation to and from Antananarivo, the Malagasy capital. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Few Malagasy own private vehicles; long-distance travel is often accomplished in taxi brousses ('bush taxis') which may be shared by 20 or more people.
While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Programme has classified nearly two-thirds of the overall road network as being in poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and dahalo (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education.
Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, to deter attacks from dahalo, the government of Madagascar requires that drivers travel in convoys of at least ten vehicles. Car collision fatalities are not fully reported, but the rate is estimated to be among the highest in the world. Random police checkpoints, at which travelers are required to produce identity documents, are spread throughout the country. Crops are transported by ox cart locally and by truck inter-regionally. Human-powered vehicles, once the only means of road transport, are still found in the form of pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Taxi brousses constitute a rudimentary road-based public transportation system in Madagascar. Rides on taxi brousses cost as little as 200 Malagasy ariary (roughly US$0.10) as of 2005, and vehicles involved are often overpacked, sometimes with the assistant driver riding on the outside of the vehicle. Stops on their routes are generally not fixed, allowing passengers to exit at arbitrary points.

La red de carreteras de Madagascar, que comprende alrededor de 4.500 carreteras únicas que abarcan 31.640 kilómetros (19.660 millas), está diseñada principalmente para facilitar el transporte hacia y desde Antananarivo, la capital malgache. El transporte por estas carreteras, la mayoría de las cuales no están pavimentadas y tienen dos carriles de ancho, suele ser peligroso. Son pocos los malgaches que poseen vehículos privados; Los viajes de larga distancia a menudo se realizan en taxis ("taxis rurales") que pueden ser compartidos por 20 o más personas.
Si bien la mayoría de las carreteras principales están en buenas condiciones, el Programa Mundial de Alimentos ha clasificado casi dos tercios de la red vial general como en malas condiciones. Estas condiciones pueden hacer que sea peligroso conducir a velocidades de moderadas a altas y los ataques de dahalo (bandidos) representan una amenaza a bajas velocidades. Muchas carreteras son intransitables durante la estación húmeda de Madagascar; algunos puentes (a menudo estructuras estrechas de un solo carril) son vulnerables a ser arrastrados. Son pocos los malgaches rurales que viven cerca de una carretera en buenas condiciones; La mala conectividad vial puede plantear desafíos en la atención de salud, la agricultura y la educación.
Los conductores en Madagascar circulan por el lado derecho de la carretera. En algunas carreteras, para disuadir los ataques desde Dahalo, el gobierno de Madagascar exige que los conductores viajen en convoyes de al menos diez vehículos. Las muertes por colisiones automovilísticas no se informan en su totalidad, pero se estima que la tasa se encuentra entre las más altas del mundo. Por todo el país hay puestos de control policial aleatorios, en los que los viajeros deben presentar documentos de identidad. Los cultivos se transportan en carretas de bueyes a nivel local y en camiones a nivel interregional. Los vehículos de propulsión humana, que alguna vez fueron el único medio de transporte por carretera, todavía se encuentran en forma de pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Los taxis constituyen un rudimentario sistema de transporte público por carretera en Madagascar. Los viajes en taxi cuestan tan solo 200 ariary malgaches (aproximadamente 0,10 dólares estadounidenses) en 2005, y los vehículos involucrados suelen estar demasiado llenos, a veces con el asistente del conductor viajando en el exterior del vehículo. Las paradas en sus rutas generalmente no son fijas, lo que permite a los pasajeros salir en puntos arbitrarios.

This Blythe doll is Snowflake Sonata for “Unique” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. I recently came across the armoire on the right at the antique mall; I found the mirror there too. I love my antique mall!!
Crook Hall is one of Durham’s hidden gems, a medieval hall with roots dating back to the 13th century. Once home to wealthy merchants and recusant Catholics, it’s seen centuries of change while retaining its unique charm. Now cared for by the National Trust, the hall stands as a peaceful retreat just a short walk from the city centre — a glimpse into Durham’s quieter, historic side.
I composed this photo last year when I was in Istanbul. I was looking for a unique vantage point for the Hagia Sophia and I found this “secret” bar near my hotel. I love the framing of the windows and how the past and present are represented in the composition.
When people think of Istanbul, they usually associate the city with the Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia in Greek). This incredible monument was commissioned by the great Byzantine emperor Justinian, consecrated as a church in 537, converted to a mosque by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453 and declared a museum by Atatürk in 1935.

Take a seat from the foggy side.
A shot take at the lake side docking area, the lake was frozen and the temperature warmed up fast from some very cold weather.
A heavy thick fog was hovering over the lake like something you'd see in a movie. On the other side of the lake is the closest treeline contrasting thru the fog. The tree line was also casting a shadow area into the fog making the other side have a very moody atmosphere.
Anyway I hope you enjoy guys and thanks for stopping in my friends!

I found this little cache deep in the woods not too far from where I live. Standing in the afternoon sunlight it just begged to be captured. The aged wood in the structure, had mellowed into many different hues, which I found fascinating. (*I might note that this is not an HDR image.)
Obviously this cache is no longer used to store furs or game, because if it was, it would have a piece of metal wrapped around each leg to keep out squirrels and other small critters.

When the world gets nasty and cold,
Memory of your Love is still colourful.
This shot is taken in a snow filled park on the banks of Haron river close to blue mountains in Toronto, Canada. Very cold -30 degrees temperature. Virtually no one outside, There were no trees with leaves. Every thing is lifeless and then I spotted this tree with red leaves. How unique. This makes my mind wonders.
This was just north east of Lostine, Oregon. We were hoping for a bit of snow around the field, but there was none to be found.

Conrail 6585, the lead unit on SECS-5, waits on the controlled siding at CP7 for passing northbound.
Conrail received a total of fifty C30-7As from GE in 1984. This model was unique to Conrail in that it was powered by a 12-cylinder prime mover vs 16 in a typical C30-7. Equipped with six tall engine access doors on the long hood (vs. the usual eight), Conrail's standard red FRA marker lights and a heavy duty anti-climber, it was difficult to confuse these units with most other GEs at the time.
