Special:
- The Imperial name had been used since 1926, but was never a separate make, just the top-of-the-line Chrysler, until 1955 when it was launched and registered as a separate luxury marque.
- The new "Fuselage Look" with rounded "tumblehome" sides, bulging at the belt line, and tucking in down to the rocker panels was designed by Elwood Engel.
- This new styling made the cars look longer and wider and surrounded the passengers in a hull-like fashion, similar to an aircraft, hence the reference to "fuselage".
- The 1970 Imperial (Chrysler) Imperial Crown Series was available as this 4-door Hardtop and as 2-door YL23 Hardtop (254 units built).
- This fourth generation Crown (1969-1973) was assembled at the Jefferson Avenue Assembly, Detroit (Michigan - USA).
I went out for a small walk in the Forest on Saturday. It is the first time I have felt fit enough to walk since I had Covid back in December. There were signs up letting people know that controlled burning was taking place. Though seeing these huge flames would have told us that. We didn't stay out long as it was so cold. The wind was biting
"The law permits controlled burning each year from the first working day in November until the last working day of March. However, in practice it generally starts in early February because the worst of the winter weather is over, there are no birds nesting or animals producing young, the vegetation is still quite dry and the damp ground offers protection to the peaty soil. The process is strictly controlled and only a small percentage of the heathland is burned each year (on average 400 hectares) and only then in rotation, which traditionally is once every generation (about 25 years). A firebreak is first established around the area to be burned, which is made by using a cutting machine. The firebreaks are used to prevent the spread of flames to other parts of the heathland. Only skilled and experienced staff are permitted to undertake controlled burning of the heathland

Mindlessly broken or to stop unwanted flooding? A shame they weren't just jammed if it was to stop unwanted flooding and such a waste if it was just vandalism. River Don opposite Seaton park.
Took this unexpected shot as I was leaving MIA. I had been standing on a cement pillar to look over the chain-link fence to grab the sunset, and as I walked back towards the car this flock of birds was quick to return back to their spot to gaze at the sunset. T3i and Sigma 18-250mm.
The streets of Old Peshawar are just packed with pedestrians, carts, cars, rickshaws .. you name it. A sea of faces. It looks like chaos but there's a method to the madness - as if there's an unwritten rule book that everyone abides by that keeps things moving.

There is no questioning who is in charge when this eagle patrols the skies above the Mississippi. There are literally thousands of birds on the river, but only one rules them all. www.troymarcyphotography.com
Flocks of Snow Geese take off in the early morning light from the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge as they move from ponds where they rest at night to the nearby fields to feed.
An intensive farming program at the refuge provides nutritious forage for more than 30,000 wintering geese.
Its interesting that the ponds the geese overnight in are only 6 inches to a foot deep but Snow geese overnight at the ponds in the Salton Sea because these calm, shallow waters provide a safe resting place at night, protecting them from predators like coyotes while allowing them to easily access food sources during the day.
Its really a sight to see these large flocks of birds taking off and landing at once.
One of the few remaining deactivated Cold War-era US Army Nike missiles still stands in the city of St. Bonifacius, MN. The contradiction of seeing such a menacing remnant of long-ago times poised amid trees and grass certainly grabs your attention as you drive by. The once radar-controlled missile is located in a prim, peaceable public park just across the street from a Catholic school. It's in amazingly great shape for a nearly 70-year-old weapon. The area northwest of the MPLS/STP once had several missile batteries responsible for shooting down Russian bombers.
Viaggio in Giappone giorno 11/17
Oggi abbiamo salutato Shirakawa-go le Alpi Giapponesi e ci siamo mossi verso la costa est, verso la città di Kanazawa dove siamo arrivati nel primo pomeriggio.
Kanazawa è una città moderna, in pieno sviluppo urbanistico con modernissimi quartieri e con la chiara intenzione di raggiungere Kyoto come città turistica, intenzione resa possibile dall'a
pertura recente della linea alta velocità Shinkansen che la collega direttamente a Tokyo.
Voglio però raccontare l'incidente successo ieri pomeriggio a Shirakawa-go. Eravamo già nel Ryokan dove abbiamo dormito e ad un certo punto abbiamo sentito suonare a tutto volume le sirene anticendio. Al che tutti gli abitanti del villaggio sono usciti dalle case, fatte di legno e paglia facilmente incendiabile e hanno iniziato a bagnare con degli idranti i tetti di paglia.. Successivamente abbiamo visto che una delle case più piccole dall'altra parte del fiume aveva preso fuoco e che diverse squadre di pompieri erano già sul posto e in maniera efficiente stavano domando l'incendio contenendolo a quella casa. Evidentemente il rischio incendi è così elevato che gli abitanti hanno adottato un rigido protocollo di difesa con gli idranti con lo scopo di impedire che un eventuale fuoco si propaghi alle altre case.
È stato un evento a cui non avremmo voluto assistere ovviamente, perché fa male al cuore vedere una di quelle magnifiche case distrutta dal fuoco, ma è stato anche incredibile vedere tutte le case coperte da questi getti d'acqua e ammirare il coraggio, l'efficienza e la bravura dei pompieri giapponesi in azione
