Quick visit in the maze of caves. It is the coolest cave complex.
From 1 km to 2 km of tubes.
A tube contains the source of the rainwater. It drips from the ceiling constantly. The other tube served as a refuge.

To the right of the stairs opens a large arch-shaped mouth that leads to a wide tunnel protected by stone barriers. These small walls forced the possible intruders to enter one by one, facilitating the defense of the occupants of the cave.
Thew metal barriers stand along both sides of the pier at Ayr Harbour and d so for obvious reasons!

original door to
the eastern state penitentiary
opened in 1829, this was thought to be the world's first true penitentiary.
This picture is from our SD-WY trip this summer. Location is Black Hills wild life loop. This fence doesn't serve any purpose as such, as it's not running all over the loop. The place is serene and you will probably not hear anything other than the wind.
Roadblocks and barriers that will somehow protect The Labour Party from The Terrorists.
I've heard that the Liberal Democrats didn't get anything like this for their conference.
The building of Hessing is completely integrated in the noise barrier of the A2 between Utrecht and Amsterdam. Early on the Sunday morning I did not have to wait too long to get a clear shot across the highway, at home some photoshopping to take out the lampposts and roadsigns.
What might be mistaken for dinosaur bones being unearthed at a paleontological dig are some of the individual reefs that make up the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest tropical coral reef system. The reef stretches more than 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) along the coast of Queensland, Australia. It supports astoundingly complex and diverse communities of marine life and is the largest structure on the planet built by living organisms.

Part of the US Geological Survey's "Earth as Art 3" collection of images taken by the Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 satellites.
Since 1972, Landsat satellites have collected from space information about Earth’s continents and coastal areas, enabling scientists to study many aspects of the planet and to evaluate changes caused by both natural processes and human practices. This image was created by visualizing both visible-light and infrared data in colors visible to the human eye; band combinations and colors were chosen to optimize their dramatic appearance.

They build them so high, you couldn't even peep inside. Gardens with flowers and fountains on one side; empty roads with dirt and stones on the other.
Barriers: The affluent build them to keep others away. Countries build them on their borders. I build mine to keep you all away.
Die hat an den Korallen genagt! So nicht, Kleine! Als Eco-Diver gab es dafür natürlich eins hinter die Ohren...
Virginia Institiute of Marine Science Assistant Professor Chris Hein gives a presentation on barrier islands at the VIMS Eastern Shore Lab.

Abandoned barriers at the Ford Foundry in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
The Ford Foundry is located on a significant plot of land on Old Warwick Road (next to Leamington Spa Train Station).
It opened in 1940 and closed on 18th July 2007, with the loss of 350 jobs. The vast factory site is due to be redeveloped, and has been purchased by Trilogy (a development company).
As of August 2011, Warwick District Council has just granted Trilogy planning consent to build a Morrisons supermarket, a 120-room hotel and office blocks. Trilogy will also provide a £52,000 grant to establish a community group which will manage a 'sustainable community woodland' on a triangle of land north of the railway line.
Demolition and clearance of the site should start within the next few months.
Used the ND110 for this photo, but it was blowing a gale so had to increase the shutter speed a bit more as the tripod was a little too light for the conditions. I have a longer exposure which I'll post later on.
I was 'commissioned' to take some photos for my work site - Unfortunately this one wasn't chosen which was a little surprising to me - technology and the Thames...is that not the 'London Spirit'?
Thames Barrier
The Thames Barrier is the world's second largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) and is located downstream of central London. Its purpose is to prevent London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the sea. It only needs to be raised during high tide; at ebb tide it can be lowered to release the water that backs up behind it. Its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of Charlton in the London Borough of Greenwich.
