As construction crews get ready to move out of the westbound lane, we take a moment to thank the company that made it all happen. Some say, "thanks!" Commuters say, "thanks a lot."

Construction of a house in Bangalore.
Notice the extensive use of wood and rope in place of metal pole-and-bolt scaffolding. Notice also the proximity to power lines!
This is a 12x18 cake with a carved dump-truck on top. Dump truck is vanilla pound cake, sheet cake is vanilla. Buttercream frosting. The cookie sign says, "Boys at play!" This was for a 5 year old's birthday. His mother said the party's theme was "construction," and this is what I came up with. The truck has Oreo crumbs for the "dirt" in the back, and the piles of rocks/dirt on the "road" were Wilton's mini ball pans.

Construção Frenética aqui no LÃbano!
Vou aproveitar o post de hoje para AGRADECER À TODOS QUE TEM ACOMPANHADO E APOIADO O PROJETO!
Sem a força de vocês, os resultados conseguidos não seriam possÃveis!
>>>Também é bom frisar uma explanação, que acho necessário relatar aqui. Fui motivado após um e-mail de uma grande amiga, recebido no inÃcio da semana, e onde me questionava sobre ainda não ter publicado neste espaço muitas imagens com traços da guerra, enfatizados no release do projeto. Ela ainda perguntou sobre a ausência de mulheres nas imagens, mas o assunto já está superado. (rsrs)
Sobre as mulheres, o post de ontem já foi totalmente esclarecedor, certo?!
Sobre as imagens com traços de guerra, minha opinião é que este Flickr é principalmente uma "vitrine", e não reflete em sua totalidade o projeto completo em si. Neste entendimento, tenho me permitindo inserir imagens que em alguns casos afastam-se um pouco o tema central proposto, e que normalmente tento relacionar às experiências diárias vividas ou aos assuntos mais comentados no Brasil e no Mundo no dia em questão. >>>Faço questão de citar o post do dia 03 de outubro, dia das eleições no Brasil, no qual a foto foi feita com uma luz péssima! No entanto, a imagem passou a mensagem que eu queria deixar no dia, sugerindo uma maior consciência e reflexão para os votos a cada cidadão desta Nação Brasilera tão espalhada em nosso enorme planeta.
Desta forma creio tornar mais interessante a experiência para quem visita este espaço, ao mesmo tempo em que mantém uma maior curiosidade para o material final do projeto, que será exibido em inauguração de exposição em 2011!
Dito isto, desejo um ótimo dia a todos! Saiam e aproveitem o mundo "lá fora".
Um grande abraço!

Frenzy Construction here at Lebanon!
I'll make a particular use of today's post to THANK EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN FOLLOWING AND SUPPORTING THE PROJECT!
Without your contribution, the results achieved wouldn't be possible!
>>> It's also good to emphasize an explanation, that I judge necessary to relate here. I was motivated after an e-mail of a great friend, received at the beginning of the week, where she questioned me about not yet have been published at this space a lot of images with traces of war, emphasized at the project's release. She also asked about the absence of women in the imagens, but the issue is already overcome. (lol)
About women, yesterday's post was already totally enlightening, right?
About the images with traces of war, my opinion is that this Flickr is primarily a "showcase", and does not reflect in its fullness the entire project itself. In this understanding, I have been allowing myself to insert images that in some cases deviate a little from the central theme proposed, and that I usually try to relate to the experiences lived daily or the issues most discussed in Brazil and abroad in that particular day. >>> I would like to quote the October's 3rd post in particular, election day in Brazil, where the picture was taken with a horrible light! However, the image passed the message I wanted to leave that day, suggesting a greater awareness and reflection about the votes of each citizen of this Brazilian Nation so spreadout in our huge planet.
This way I believe to make more interesting the experience for who visits this space, while maintaining a greater curiosity for the final cut material of the project, which will be exposed in the exhibition opening in 2011!
Havind said that, I wish everyone a great day! Get out and enjoy the world "out there".
A big hug!
André

Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Tower Hill State Game Reserve is an area of approximately 6.2 sq km, 3 km inland from the coast between Warrnambool and Port Fairy managed by Parks Victoria since 1997. The Reserve consists of a volcanic crater of nested maar type bounded by the encircling crater rim that forms a highly visible landmark in the surrounding plain. The crater, filled by a lake and series of islands, themselves volcanic cones, was formed at least 30,000 years ago when a hot rising basaltic magma came into contact with the subterranean water table. The violent explosion that followed created the funnel-shaped crater (later filled by a lake) and the islands. Artefacts found in the volcanic ash layers show that Aboriginal people were living in the area at the time of the eruption. The Warrnambool area was a rich source of foods for the Koroitgundidj people, whose descendants retain special links with this country.
The first confirmed European sighting of Tower Hill crater was by French explorers sailing with Captain Baudin aboard the Geographe in 1802 who named the crater 'Peak of Reconnaissance'. Throughout the 19th century sailors used Tower Hill as a landmark for entering the harbours of Port Fairy (Belfast) and Warrnambool. The name Tower Hill came into common usage in the 1840s. The crater formation, noted by early European settlers for the beauty of its vegetation was memorialised in the landscape painting of Eugene von Guerard in 1855.
By the late 1850s substantial amounts of forest had been cleared in and around the crater. In 1866 when the crater and inner rim were temporarily reserved for public recreation, the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria was appointed the Committee of Management (1866-1869). The Society had formed in 1861 with the aim of introducing exotic plants and animals to suitable parts of the colony and accordingly introduced goats, pheasants and rabbits to Tower Hill. In 1873 the area was permanently reserved for public purposes and in 1892 in an attempt to halt the environmental damage to the crater Tower Hill Reserve became the first National Park to be declared in Victoria. It remained under the control of Koroit Council which permitted clearing of native vegetation, grazing and the quarrying of scoria to continue. By the 1930s the landscape was bare and little wildlife remained.
In the mid-20th century lobbying by the local community concerned about environmental degradation at Tower Hill along with general recognition of the declining numbers of game birds in Victoria led to the crater being declared a State Game Reserve in 1961, one of a number established across the State at this time as wildlife refuges. The contained nature of the crater site meant it could be readily adapted to a scientifically designed habitat management program.
In 1962 Robin Boyd was commissioned to design a Natural History Centre on the main island at Tower Hill, completed in 1969. This early example of an interpretive centre was to provide the public with information about the restoration of the Tower Hill environment and the wildlife and habitats of the State's Reserves and to be a centre of study for wildlife management. Boyd, a hero of the conservation movement, designed a simple stone circular structure with sloping roof mirroring the volcanic island hilltops, sitting in harmony with the landscape. The circular glazed pavilion is a timber construction with a cill height stone skirt and wide eaves. At the centre of the open internal space is a central hollow stone column which supports the roof and is crowned by a skylight reminiscent of the core of the volcano that gave rise to the landscape. Laminated timber rafters, arranged radially, span from the hollow stone core to the outer ring of window and project to form deep eaves.
As early as 1958 local community groups established experimental plots of native trees at Tower Hill. Following designation as a State Game Reserve serious efforts began to replicate the original vegetation using von Guerard's (1855) painting as a guide to replanting using botanists to identify the plant species. By 1981 school children,, naturalists and other volunteers had planted 250 000 trees and shrubs at Tower Hill and removed non-native species and weeds and feral animals. Native animal species including koalas, wombats, emus and echidnas have also been successfully reintroduced to Tower Hill through reinstatement of habitat. The replanting program was the first of its kind in Victoria and provided a model for the national Landcare movement, established in Victoria in the 1980s.
How is it significant?
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of aesthetic, historic, scientific, social and architectural significance to the State of Victoria
Why is it significant?
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of aesthetic significance, being an inspirational landscape, recognised for the beauty and uniqueness of its geological form and natural vegetation from first European exploration and settlement of the region.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is a cultural landscape of historical significance in reflecting more than a century of changing attitudes to landscape in its evolving status and the character of its environment.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of historical significance as an iconic and inspirational landscape, noted for its geological form and the beauty of its natural vegetation from first European exploration and settlement of the region, memorialised in Eugene von Guerard's 1855 painting of Tower Hill crater and island. It was this iconic beauty that environmentalists sought to reinstate through their replanting of native vegetation, the species having initially been identified initially from the detail of von Guerard's painting.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of historical significance as the earliest and an outstanding example of community programs to reinstate native vegetation and re-create native habitat on cleared and degraded land. Skills developed in the course of this work, and subsequently applied in other parts of the country include an understanding of the importance of using species indigenous to the local area, requirements for re-introduction of native fauna, and awareness of the need for re-establishment of understorey species.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of social significance for the ongoing role of the local community and community groups in the reinstatement of natural habitats in the Reserve.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of scientific (geological) significance as an example of a nested maar, a specific type of volcanic crater that formed at least 30 000 years ago when hot rising basaltic magma came into contact with the subterranean water table resulting in a series of phreatic explosions that created the funnel-shaped crater (later filled by a lake) coupled with late stage scoria cone development of the islands seen today.
Construction begins at The Lorton Reformatory. Buildings will be adapted and repurposed for residential and commercial use to create Liberty–a modern and vibrant community hub in the heart of Lorton, Virginia. Liberty is located 25 miles from Washington, D.C. and 35 miles from Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Construction of what will eventually be 6 subway lines in Ho Chi Minh City. This construction as seen from the Rex Hotel, is financed in part by the Japanese. Russia, Germany and Spain will partner on different lines.
Under Construction !
I wish this building will completely finish soon .

I am Mardy SUONG, I am from the one of Cambodian Photographers. I wish to extend my heartfelt welcome to all international visitors and photographers to Cambodia-Kingdom of Wonder.
As one of the fastest growing tourism destinations in Southeast Asia, Cambodia’s rich heritage, cultural and natural resources offer a full range of cultural and eco-tourism sites that are both dynamic and sustainable. Highlights include Phnom Penh, the Angkor Wat and the Mekong River Dolphins, just to name a few.
The Kingdom’s capital is a dynamic city where visitors are in the mood for shopping, dining, sightseeing and more. As Cambodia’s hub for commerce, politics and tourism, Phnom Penh is also home to many important institutions and monuments such as Wat Phnom, the Royal Palace and the National Museum. The magnificent Angkor Wat and Preah Vihear, Heritage of Humanity and World Wonder, is probably the most exotic tourist destination in the world and the renowned yet very rare Mekong River dolphins can also be found in Cambodia. During your staying here, do visit and relax on Cambodia’s pristine beaches, explore the coral reefs around many of our beautiful islands and trek through lush mangrove forests. The bay of Cambodia has been inducted to the Most Beautiful Bay of the World Club.
Regards and thanks!
