How lucky was this? When I was on The Ruddington Connection going back to Nottingham, This car has parked up right outside a house but not good for the car in the house since it can't get out. The camera was covered up here because of the continuous rain we kept getting and to get this photo, My bus stopped at a good point at the bus stop. It may be a once in a lifetime capture but I've seen it before and the first time I had my camera out too. The only point was if the bus was every 10 minutes instead of 30, I would've got out and investigated it. If it was on the roads and the cameras were on, I might've been on the photo. Remember, if you see this car around, make sure you get a picture since you might only see it once.

Indicated by green, traffic on A10 North East Rd or Sudholz Rd can turn left at the intersection as usual.
However, as right-hand turns at the intersection are no longer possible, northbound traffic on A10 North East Rd (indicated by blue) would have to turn left onto Blacks Rd and right onto Sudholz Rd when going south-east to Paradise and other suburbs. Indicated by red, southbound traffic on A10 North East Rd about to head north-west would then have to turn left onto Sudholz Rd and make a u-turn at the Sudholz Rd/Lyons Rd intersection.
Kind of strange, but it helps peak-hour traffic on North East Rd flow more smoothly.

Cerovačke špilje 13. VIII. 2002
Among the most renowned and significant speleological structures are the Cerovac Caves , located in the southern part of “Velebit Nature Park ”.
This 3-tier complex (Lower Cave , Middle Cave and Upper Cave ) features around 7 km of explored channels. The first 700 m of the Lower and Upper Caves have been prepared for tourist visits.
These caves abound in traces from the distant past. In addition to large quantities of archaeological findings, they are also among the largest discovery sites of the cave bear in Croatia . One may easily spot claw marks gorged into the cave walls as the bears moved against them.
Water has worked for thousands of years to create dripstones. It is therefore vital to treat these cave ornaments with care and not touch them, as just a single careless move may put an end to a process that has been going on for decades.
The temperature in the caves is between 5o C and 11o C - warmer clothing, a head cover, and comfortable shoes are recommended.
How to reach: The Cerovac Caves are located 4 km from Gračac along the road towards Knin. If you intend to take the motorway, please take the exit to Sveti Rok. The distance between Sveti Rok and Gračac is 25 km.

Cerovačke špilje , smještene na južnom dijelu Parka prirode „Velebit“, među najpoznatijim su i najznačajnijim speleološkim objektima u Hrvatskoj. Kompleks čine 3 špilje (Donja, Srednja i Gornja) sa oko 7 km istraženih kanala. Za turistički posjet uređeno je prvih 700 m Donje i Gornje špilje.
Ove špilje su iznimno bogate nalazima iz davne prošlosti. Osim velike količine arheoloških ostataka također su jedno od većih nalazišta špiljskog medvjeda u Hrvatskoj. Tako ovdje možete i danas vidjeti tragove „brušenja“ medvjeda na stijenama nastale njihovim kretanjem uz stjenke špilja.
Voda svojim konstantnim kapanjem nastavlja tisućama godina star proces gradnje siga. Zato je iznimno važno da se stupajući špiljom ponašamo s poštovanjem prema istoj i ne diramo njene ukrase. Jer samo jednim nepromišljenim pokretom ruke prekinut ćemo proces koji traje desetljećima.
Temperatura u špiljama se kreće između 5 i 11o C stoga preporučamo topliju odjeću, pokrivalo za glavu i udobne cipele.

Kako doći:
Cerovačke špilje se nalaze 4 km od Gračaca na cesti prema Kninu. Ukoliko se dolazi auto-cestom, potrebno je sići kod izlaza za Sveti Rok. Od Svetog Roka do Gračaca ima 25 km.

I was looking up traffic counts on the Chicago Traffic Tracker website and saw that the Halsted Street bridge over the Chicago River just north of Chicago Avenue is missing. It's shown as a gray line with the text "Halsted Street (planned)".
This is not the most accurate message. The west side sidewalk is still open to foot and bicycle transportation, as I pointed out in my Grid Chicago article, The Halsted Passage. I wonder how it got in there.
I'll report this as a problem, but I'm wary of it actually being updated to show that people on foot can still cross the river here. I've used Google Maps's Map Maker tool once, and I didn't like the experience. My correctly-made adjustment of a street was questioned and I was asked to revert my change. I refused and eventually my change was approved... because it was correct. I guess that someone used Map Maker to (incorrectly) modify the street at this part. This street segment in Map Maker should be designated something close to a "pedestrian walkway" instead of a bridge for automobile, bus, and bicycle traffic.
The Google Maps walking directions for walking from Division Street to Chicago Avenue don't show the option of using the sidewalk, which is entirely possible (I did it again this week).

The terrain in Alberta, Canada accidentally forms what looks like a human face when viewed from the air or when viewing the satellite pic in Google Maps.
Some people go further by describing the little road leading up to the pinpoint as being "iPod headphones", but I think just the face/head shape are compelling enough.

The title of each photo in this series is a translated line from a poem found in the Chapel of Bones. See the full poem in the original language here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos#Poem .
From our tour guide - the Franciscan monks who used the bones of approximately 5000 corpses, built this to send a message to the nobles that in death, no one can tell the difference between the rich and the poor, royal or common.

I grew up on the East Side of Toledo, Ohio (Utah Street), not far from the Maumee River, and with a pretty clear view of downtown.
The I-280 bridge towards the top was originally named after Toledo's first casualty in the Korean War. At some point (mid 70s, I think) some Federal bureaucrat came in and told the city that they couldn't name an interstate bridge because it was Federal property. I'm pretty sure that years later that was changed and that the bridge is now named after Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just north of the South End bridge is a railroad trestle from which Juice Box took a photo from an Amtrak train.
The Anthony Wayne Bridge, as well as the Anthony Wayne Trail (which isn't attached to the bridge in any way) were named after "Mad" Anthony Wayne. There was a playground underneath the bridge that we spent a lot of time at as kids. We also climbed into the bridge's structure once in a while (avoiding mucho, mucho pigeon shit!)... once, I climbed a drain pipe (that ran from the bridge's road surface) and as I was about to step over to the bridge's concrete base, I fell about ten feet (or more) and landed flat on my back. Fortunately, I only had the wind knocked out of me. Well, that and the desire to climb the bridge again!
Hmm...
Could this be the guy in the USPS cycling gear from the googlemaps screen capture I called 'flat tire dude'?
Here's another example of the "Escher Effect" that's sometimes seen in satellite pictures. This pic was screen-grabbed from Google Maps.
The effect is caused when two separate airplane or satellite pics are taken of different sections/plots of a city, and then stitched together. Each pic is taken from a different angle, so the taller buildings' pics are taken with different perspective points, causing them to appear to lean toward or away from each other.
See my other Escher Effect Pics.

This photo is Geotagged, too! To view a map of the location from within Flickr along with many other people's photos of the building, click on the (map) link in the lower right-hand column.
