The Katyń Memorial is dedicated to the victims of the Katyn massacre in 1940. Created by Polish-American sculptor Andrzej Pitynski, the memorial stands at Exchange Place in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA near the mouth of the Hudson River along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway.
Unveiled in June 1991 a 34 feet tall bronze statue of a soldier, gagged and bound, impaled in the back by a bayoneted rifle, stands atop a granite base containing Katyn soil. It commemorates the massacre of thousands of Polish prisoners by order of Joseph Stalin in April and May 1940 after Soviet Union troops had invaded eastern Poland. The event came after the partition of Poland and the occupation of the nation during World War II. The eastside of the pediment has a bronze relief depicting the starvation of Poles sent to Siberia.

Consolidated B-24-H Liberator 41-29418 was originally named as ‘Turnip Termite.’ Its original nose art was painted by Clayton Hutsell at the 486th. Bomb Group at USAAF Station 174 Sudbury in Suffolk, but the aircraft was transferred to USAAF Station 115 Shipdham in Norfolk before he could put the name of 'Turnip Termite' on it. It was renamed 'Pappy’s Chillun' at the 44th. Bomb Group.
41-29418, coded QK -?, crashed on the 21st. April 1944 with the loss of all crew except the pilot and co-pilot. The main body of the wreckage still lies in the lake at Taverham Mills.
The aircraft was on its way on a bombing mission to the German town of Zwickau. During assembly, five miles northwest of Norwich, and one mile northeast of Ringland Hills, the aircraft was climbing into formation, traveling at 155 to 160 mph through overcast, in severe icing conditions. When it reached 14,000 feet, the aircraft lurched violently and started swerving to the right. The pilots had no control over the aircraft as it swerved back to the left, and then started to spin tightly toward the ground. The plane then turned onto its back and the right-wing and tail were torn off by the violent manoeuvres. The two pilots were thrown into the top of the cockpit, and when the cabin ripped apart, they were thrown clear of the wreckage.
No definite statement can be made as to the cause of the accident, but it was the opinion of the investigating board that the airplane picked up too much ice, was forced into a stall, and from there into a spin when it fell apart. The aircraft was heavily loaded with eight 1,000 lb. bombs and 2,700 gallons of fuel. Another aircraft, flown by Lt. Dine of 506th. Bomb Squadron, experienced the same icing conditions. It went into a spin, but the pilots finally managed to recover control at 4,000 feet.
The two survivors from this accident, 2nd. Lieutenant's Havens and Del Grande were taken to the hospital immediately. Havens suffered severe injuries when he landed in a tree, fractured his left ankle, and his spine. He spent some time at the 231st. Hospital. He did not return to the 44th. Bomb Group. Del Grande seriously injured his ankle when he landed. He flew no more missions for the 44th. Bomb Group and was transferred to the 70th. RCD on 10th. December 1944, for transfer back to the United States. However, it appears that Del Grande recovered and was transferred to the 93rd. Bomb Group, where he completed his tour with them.
On 21st. April 2001, 57 years after the crash, this memorial was dedicated at Taverham Mill.
Southwild Pantanal Lodge
The Pantanal
Brazil
South America
This image is dedicated to Jan Boer, one of my Flickr contacts. The first time I ever saw an aracari was on his website.
I found the aracari in a tree in front of the lodge. The bird kept flying from branch to branch making it hard to photograph it. I did not even know for sure if I had a decent image of the bird until I reviewed the image later.
The Chestnut-eared Aracari (Pteroglossus castanotis) is an Aracari that is native to central and south-eastern South America, where this lowland species inhabits western Brazil north to eastern Colombia and south through eastern Peru, northern and eastern Bolivia and northern Argentina.
Aracaris generally roost socially throughout the year. Up to five adults and their fledged offspring sleep in the same hole with their long tails folded over their backs.
It has the widest distribution of any aracari species and is one of the most common toucan species.
They typically nest in trees with appropriate hollows, most of which are previously made by woodpeckers. Other hollows are the result of a branch break and ensuing rotting of the heart wood from rain over a period of time.
Both the male and female share the incubation and chick rearing duties.

This photo is dedicated to my lovely friend Mharie (Mharie) who has actually taken pains to work on it and convert it into what you see now. She is one friend who never gets tired or irritated by me and teaches me things. She never says no to any of my stupid requests and is always ready to help.
Specially dedicated to the bastards that today appear in the news, some youngs of the Juventudes of PP (Politicians) that tortures the cats and take photographs smiling and showing the dead cats like trophies.
This symbolic gesture is what I say to them.

The church dedicated to Saint Mary, documented in 1319, was built in Romanesque style in the 13th century. The defense tower, which also houses the belfry, was built in 1438. The present appearance of the church is due to the restoration works of the building in 1853, when all its southern and eastern parts were structurally modified.
A remarkable fact is the existence of a network of tunnels that start from under the altar and lead to 30 houses in the locality.
The religious building once had a rectangular fortified enclosure with two defense towers. Collapsed in 1877, the fortification was then demolished by the inhabitants in 1924 and again between 1953 and 1954. Currently inconspicuous traces of some walls can still be seen to the west of the church.
In 1996 important religious pieces of inestimable value, the altar, the bronze baptismal font, flags, two paintings from the First and Second World Wars and the organ were moved to Sibiu for protection.
Dedicated to all women who every day have to endure and endure all the obstacles that life brings them.
My great admiration for yourselves

I discovered that there is no visual angle that allows to put the whole lamp in my last giralda photo. So I made this one, to show how beautiful they are... :))

Me he dado cuenta de que hay ningún ángulo visual que permita encajar la farola entera en mi foto anterior de la giralda. Así que he hecho esta, para mostrar lo monísimas de la muerte que son. :))

This image is dedicated to all the people that worked (and probably a part of them died) in order to develop this monumental building : the Milan duomo.
When I saw this magnific cathedral I asked my self how they did'it....and after I got this picture I realized that it was all about determination and sacrifice and that the Milan duomo is dedicated to us human beings as well as to God..
...at Middleborough High, who defended herself and her home against a male intruder a few days ago. Her quick, adroit thinking and action forced the burglar out of her home. Her home video had the creep from Bourne arrested shortly thereafter. To top off her heroic deeds, she immediately drew on her support system and went out with her friends that very afternoon. I admire brave, fortitudinous and intelligent young women and sincerely hope that they ardently fight for quick passage of the domestic violence bill currently in front of the State Legislature on Beacon Hill in Boston.
dedicated to the people of Japan and identifying with the sadness and suffering they are experiencing.

End of an Era.
For years, Zimex Aviation’s ATR72s and 42s (with help from Amapola Flyg) have carried the mail across Sweden for PostNord, connecting cities through the night when everyone else was asleep.
On the night of 29th of august the final flights arrived as PostNord ends its domestic airmail operations 1 of september.
A quiet but historic moment. The end of Sweden’s dedicated postal flights, and the closing of a chapter in Scandinavian aviation.
Dedicated to future generations, because I put in them, the hope of a future of dignity, culture and respect.

When I visited my daughter on March 20 2011, my grandson, Aidan, was telling me about this bird with babies. I was excited and asked him to show me. He took me outside his home and pointed up - "there they are".
Wow - I saw how cute they were and grab my cam from the car.
Thank you Aidan!
Update: May10 2012
This pic is sold to Nat Geo for their coming book. Proceeds is going to charity.
The lady who bought the pic had a hard time tracking me down becos the person who downloaded this pic from my Flickr account without my knowledge, plastered this all over the internet and change my name from Ric Seet to Rik Seet. So no one can track the originator down. Now others are profiteering from this scam and here is the link to one such websites. You pay them to download my stolen pic:
pixdaus.com/under-her-wings-by-rik-seet-birds-aves-fauna-...
When I did a Rik Seet goggle search there are about 4 full pages of links to such websites !
www.google.com.sg/search?q=Rik Seet&ie=utf-8&oe=u...
This is one of the downside of the internet. To prevent such future mishaps, I have since disabled the download feature under Privacy & Settings. Base on the feedback this is not even safe. Additional advises is to add Watermarks and reduce file size to 800X800. From what I am hearing nothing is save on the net.
Thank you friends for your kind advise. .
Update: May13 2012
I managed to write to a few websites/blogs via email and FB.
1. A friend responded on FB and apologize for posting the pic on FB for Mother Day.
2. An Australian cyclist by the name of Craig plaster the pic for 2012 Mother Day. I wrote to inform him that the pic is my and he blocked me off immi'ly. Isn't that just great, steals your pic and ignores you!
3. What's even more interesting is Pixdaus.com has an option for you to complain if your are the owner of the intellectual property. Isn't this a laugh. I presume they believe they excuse themselves of any legal obligation in the eyes of the law by having this feature on their website! I have written to them and waiting for their reply.
Update June 1 2012
Today a caring Flickr friend brought to my attention that the above pic was stolen again and this pic was posted on Flickr. Wrote to the person to delete my picture which was done. Not a word of apology.
These people have no shame - steal other pictures and post it like theirs. Even took part in invites and participated at the various levels of award to claim credit for themselves.
here is the link if this shameful person and I have seen another couple of stolen pics as well becos they are too skillful for him. Even wrote to advise that these be remove. I am contacting the legal department of Yahoo in Singapore and making a few suggesting to them to apprehend such people.

Since then more Flickr friends have alerted me. I am now no more angry becos I have learnt to share and come to realized this picture brings great memories & joy to others. One guy wrote to request for a print becos he wanted to place it next to his Bible.
He said that it is "God's Gift To Nature"
Update June 4 2012
Great to see that couple of my Flickr friends have added water mark to their pic. Very creative as they take the trouble to strategically position the watermark . I will borrow this idea. Thanks guys!
Update Dec 17 2012
Nat Geo is now printing double the number of copies and has agreed to denote US$300/ to charity of my grandson choice - SPCA. Thank you Nat Geo.
Update Dec 25 2012
Today I received a very touching letter from a mother who requested this print. I am glad that a picture is worth a thousand words and holds special meaning and brings great joy.
So if you need a print please drop me a Flickr mail and your mailing address. Thank you.
My heart goes out to this special lady and this picture is my gift to her. Some of you are aware that my daughter was critically ill. In her own works she told me she nearly died in Oct. Now I rejoice becos she is making slow recovery ----. A small step at a time!
Hi Ric,
I have been searching for the photographer who took the absolutely beautiful photo of the colorful momma bird with it's babies under its wings. I've actually been praying I would find the original photographer. I won't get into the details, but for the last almost 2 years, I've been going through a really hard time with my health due to a horrible medical mistake that I suffered at the hands of a doctor. I will not let anyone tell me I am not going to get better. My husband and my son need me back. This picture holds such meaning for me...I've found it on other websites, which I am so sorry that people are stealing your work, and I have gone back to look at it a lot over the last several months. It brings me great comfort and the colors are just so beautiful and bright. I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a large print of it from you so that I can frame it and have it matted with a verse so I can look at it every day in my house. Would you mind letting me know if it's possible to buy a print from you? If so, what are the size proportions that you could print out for me? The place I want to hang it could handle an overall size of 24"x24" or 24"x28", which would be framed and matted with an inscription matted under it. Hopefully that description makes sense. Would you mind contacting back?
Update April 11 2016
Today i received a very comforting email from this lady and I thank her for helping mereach out to others who may need this pic becos of the sentimental/special meaning this pic means to them. For me this pic means a world to me bcos I am a dad to two precious daughters that I love dearly. No matter what -- I will always be there for them as long as I am on this good earth.
Hi Ric,
I must confess I posted your beautiful picture of the bird shielding her babies under her wings on a tweet and my FB page. I didn't take it from Flickr, I (wrongly) assumed it was in the public domain. Would you like me to remove it or would it be mutually agreeable to post a link to you for your credit and publicity? I am a solicitor working from home writing wills and trusts, hence the family theme, I have not tried to profit directly from the photo, just thought it was a nice image of caring. Sorry.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth
Thank you Elizabeth. There are lots of caring people on this good earth.
