Cape Hatteras National Seashore preserves the portion of the Outer Banks of North Carolina from Bodie Island to Ocracoke Island, stretching over 70 miles. Included within this section of barrier islands along N.C. 12, but outside the National Seashore boundaries, are Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and several communities, such as Rodanthe, Buxton, and Ocracoke. Cape Hatteras is a fascinating combination of natural and cultural resources, and provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities.

On board the catamaran Ocean Spirit heading for the Great Barrier Reef at Michaelmas Cay.
Part of our excursion to the Great Barrier Reef was a dive in a submersible ... because of recent typhoons, the water was all churned up and sandy, and not as crystal clear as it usually is ... but it was still an amazing sight!

Barton Barriers is a temporary work of conceptual art by Stephen Dubov. It was installed on March 13, 2010, on an overgrown public right-of-way along Barton Skyway in Austin's Barton Hills neighborhood. The sculpture consists of over 50 Yodocks and is about 100 feet long and up to 12 feet tall. It has created quite a stir among residents. It will be taken down on June 12.
The Thames Barrier is a flood control structure on the River Thames at Woolwich Reach in London. It is the world's second largest movable flood barrier after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands.
River Thames Flood Barrier
The gate in the middle of this view has been raised to the underspill position and a maintenance barge is in attendance.Built across a 523 metre wide stretch of the river the barrier divides the river into six channels between nine large concrete piers. The flood gates across the openings are radial, i.e., half-cylindrical, and they operate by rotating, raised by hydraulics out of a horizontal sill below the water to form the barrier. They can rotate further to allow for 'underspill' for maintenance. All the gates are made of steel. The four large central gates are 61 metres long, 10.5 metres high (above local ground level) and weigh 1,500 tonnes; the outer two gates are 31.5 metres. Additionally, four radial gates by the riverbanks can be lowered. These gate openings, unlike the main six, are non-navigable.
Our economical safety barrier provides excellent protection while complying with standard safety regulations. This moveable safety barricade is frequently visible along roadways where roadwork calls for the visible demarcation of construction zones. All of our safety barriers are equipped with an identification plate and reflective tape for increased visibility.
The Thames Barrier is the second largest movable flood barrier in the world. It was built to prevent London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the sea.
