Hastings pier suffered extensive fire damage during the early hours of the morning on October 5th 2010. The fire, believed to be started by arsonists, quickly engulfed the pier causing 95% damage to the piers structure. In September 2012 a compulsory purchase order was granted that hopefully is the first step towards the reconstruction of the pier.
HPWRT aims to restore the structure, and incorporate a new visitor centre. The one building that survived the fire, the Western Pavilion, will become a restaurant and bar.

"Tot 100m uit brug VERBODEN TE ZWEMMEN OF TE DUIKEN": No swimming or diving within 100m of the bridge.
(My electronic dictionary offers "sink" as an alternative translation for "duiken". So, apparently, here you mustn't sink or swim...)
This here applies throughout in the Kings Canyon! It's no joke!

January 8, 2019 - "Masada was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001. Its inscription on this prestigious list epitomizes its outstanding universal significance, which must be protected for the benefit of humanity.
Masada was the last bastion of Jewish freedom fighters against the Romans; its fall signaled the violent destruction of teh kingdom of Judea at the end of the Second Temple period. The traffic events of the last days of the rebels at Masada transformed it into both a Jewish cultural icon and a symbol of humanity's continuous struggle for freedom from oppression.
Built by Herod, king of Judea , Masada was a palatial fortress in the style of the ancient Roman East. The camels, fortifications, and assault ramp at its base constitute the most complete surviving ancient Roman siege system in the world.
Geography
The plateau of Masada is located on the eastern fringe of the Judea Desert near the shore of the Dead Sea, between En Gedi and Sodom. It is a mountain block that rose and was detached from teh fault escarpment, surrounded at its base by Wadi Ben yard on the west and Wadi Masada on the south and east. The plateau, 450 meters above the level of the Dead Sea, is approximately 650 meters long and 300 meters wide. East of the mountain is sediment left by the ancient Dead Sea, scored by numerous cracks.
Masada is close to two ancient routes: one cut through the center of the Judea Desert and led to southern Moab in eastern Transjordan; the other connected Edom, Moab and the Arava Valley to En Gedi and Jerusalem.
Masada's remote location and its natural defenses were the advantages that transformed it into a fortress during the Second Temple period."

Not 10,000 volts — but 11,000! That extra 1,000 volts will blow you off the ladder while simultaneously and instantaneously melting the soles of your sneakers to the rungs.
Another lousy drive-by shot snapped from the passenger side in traffic while Sis drove us through Stamford, Connecticut, near the train tracks and I-95 during rush hour.
From a drop of water a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other.

Modesty prevents me from saying too much, but this is someone's son and his girlfriend, standing beyond the Danger Sign. I always blame the parents, and in this case his mother! LOL
Killarney Glen is not national park but Defence Department property as part of the Kokoda Barracks at Canugra and hence has limited opening times and you really don't want to stray too far off the track because you have no idea what could be waiting for you.
