"Hala kahiki" is the Hawaiian word for pineapple. When Hawaiians first saw the pineapple, they thought it resembled the Hawaiian Hala, so they named it "hala kahiki," meaning "foreign Hala".

What a unique vehicle! I'd never seen anything like it. In the earlier days of modern invention there were lots of ideas about how to do things. This was one of them.
Like most of the vehicles at this museum, it runs. Here a video of it.

October 2, 2021 - Went to Jeff Lane Motor Museum in Nashvile, Tennessee. This place is fantastic! Over 500 vehicles. I've been to one of the best car museums in the U.S., Petersen Auto Museum in L.A. but this one is right up there with it. Specializes in foreign cars and unique vehicles. Half of these I'd never seen or heard of. Well worth going to.

A Chicago & North Western SD40-2, Nevada Northern SD7, and Western Pacific U23B find themselves in Union Pacific's Riverdale Yard in Ogden, Utah. Doug deserves a prize for catch of the year.
Since 1818, the Willard InterContinental Washington, DC has played host to the world’s social and political elite. An iconic hotel, often referred to as the ‘Residence of Presidents’, The Willard has welcomed U.S. presidents, foreign dignitaries and celebrities, as well as has been the site of many historic moments in U.S. history for 200 years.
I took this photograph a couple of years ago, mainly out of boredom. I was standing at the exact spot where I took it, waiting for a friend who was late. The image itself was insignificant. Other views that are more representative of Sitges, a seaside town close to Barcelona, are also available. It's well-known for its beauty and lively atmosphere. It's also where I used to spend my summers during my childhood and early youth.
I thought it wasn't worth sharing, so I decided to delete it. Then I had an idea: I'd try to reinvent the old postcards people bought when I was a kid. They were, somehow, similar to this shot: loud, overexposed, and of poor quality.
With the arrival of foreign tourists, greetings from... began to appear. Previously, it would have been "Recuerdos desde...", always in Spanish because Catalan was publicly forbidden and restricted to family settings.
They used to bear a stamp of some kind, such as a flag or a town shield.
Those who know the place will immediately realize it's a modern image. Apart from the way people are dressed, you can see buildings that didn't exist at that time.
I suppose those who have never seen anything like this, or who are not reading this explanation, won't like the photograph. Anyway, I had a great time editing it.
A south of the boarder consist of a KCSM AC4400 and Ferromex SD70ACe lead a westbound loaded oil train over the Quartz Creek Trestle in Tarkio, MT.
Onto the main line from the iron ore branch at Scunthorpe with empties to Immingham, back with a full load in under 2 hours.

Il termine "foreign power" e' adoperato nel gergo tecnico per indicare convogli di un'amministrazione in servizio su linee appartenenti ad una differente impresa.
E' il caso di questa coppia di locomotive CSX, ancora colorate nella livrea "Bright Future" e capeggiate dalla Dash8 #7741, in corsa presso Oak Harbor, Oh. alla testa di un convoglio di cisterne sulla rete Norfolk Southern. (23/7/16)
With an unidentified bright red vintage American car passing in the foreground the 1926-1929 built Capitolio Building forms a most distinctive backdrop. This is an everyday sight but one that attracts 4.7 million foreign tourists each year.
The Capitolio Building is interesting, it is a virtual copy of the White House but in a statement to show superiority it was built a metre taller, wider and longer than it’s Washington cousin.
Excerpt from english.seoul.go.kr/starfield-library-coex/:
Starfield Library, located in the center of COEX Mall, is considered as one of the most captivating libraries in Seoul. It features an enormous 13-meter-tall bookshelf ensconced in a 2,800-square-meter atrium that is perfect for reading and studying comfortably under ambient lighting.
Starfield Library is not only grand in size, but also its scale of collection—it holds approximately 70,000 books that vary in genre, ranging from the humanities and economics to books on hobby and in foreign language, as well as approximately 600 domestic and international magazines, celebrity books, and even e-books.
Starfield Library is great for not only reading various books, but also for studying as it has various types of tables equipped with power plugs for laptop use. What’s more, various events are also held here, such as book-themed cultural events from author talks and poetry readings to lectures and literary concerts.
Visiting Starfield Library during the day and at evening is completely different—the evening ambiance of the dimly lit atrium gives a new experience of leisure after a long day of hard work.
Der Löwe schaut gebannt zu...
Werbung für die neue 'The Länd'-Kampagne, die ausländische Fachkräfte nach Stuttgart locken soll. Ich als Englisch-Mutttersprachler kann nur den Kopf darüber schütteln - es ist wirklich keinen Ersatz für das viel selbstbewusstere 'Wir können alles ausser Hochdeutsch'. Aber das Riesenrad an sich ist auch ein Spektakel, das man nicht verpassen soll, vor allem in diesen düsteren, dunklen, vorweihnachtlichen Coronazeiten...
The lion looks on incredulously...
Big wheel set up in front of the Neue Schloss castle in the centre of Stuttgart. Ostensibly a vehicle to promote Baden-Wuerttemberg's rather clunky new advertising campaign to attract skilled foreign workers to come here, and quite a sight in its own right.

Northamptonshire is a rural county on the edge of both the Midlands and East Anglia. With just six main towns - Northampton is by far the largest - and no cities, its predominant feature is gently rolling farmland. Once known for its shoe industry, cheap foreign imports have now taken over and the numerous small shoe factories either converted or demolished. The large steelworks at Corby has closed, though it still has its tube manufacturing plant. With the M1 and the A14 both crossing the county, Northamptonshire has become a major warehousing and distribution centre with new warehouses seemingly being opened virtually every week. Despite this activity and the government's insistence that thousands of new homes be built here, it remains - at least for the moment - a relatively quiet backwater. It was known as the County of Squires and Spires, after its large country houses and estates and numerous beautiful churches. It is indeed still the county of Bridget Jones.
CSX G685 passes the signals of NE Englewood at 2:13am. Leading the way is NS 8105, one of the companies heritage units, with this one honoring the Interstate. While the NS ones are fairly common to see on NS leading around here, it’s extremely rare to see them on their east coast competitor. With the chance to get them at these signals being presented, I couldn’t take advantage of this opportunity. 1-27-24
