This woman and her husband (i supposed) were always giving us very interesting informations about the event. They told us, for instance, who was this guy.

The Atomic Bomb Dome is one of the few buildings around the explosion's epicenter that partially survived the blast, and the city's only remaining bomb damaged building. The former Industrial Promotion Hall is now an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This was our tour guide in NYC last summer. He was on one of those hop-on, hop-off buses and we loved travelling around with him!
The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. A message comprising ten guides is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge."[1] The monument is almost 20 feet (6.1 m) tall if the buried support stones are included, exactly 18 feet (5.5 m) otherwise,[2] and made from six granite slabs weighing more than 240,000 pounds (110,000 kg) in all.[3] One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.
The earthquake damaged Art Centre, April 27, 2013, Christchurch New Zealand.
All 23 Arts Centre heritage buildings received significant damage in the earthquake and its subsequent aftershocks, and all have been issued with a red “Unsafe” placard.
As a result of the magnitude of this damage, the Arts Centre Trust Board— the body charged with ensuring this iconic precinct is preserved and protected in perpetuity— has taken the unprecedented step of closing the site for an indeterminate period to allow for remediation work and seismic strengthening to all buildings. This work is likely to take several years.
The Trust Board has initiated this closure only after particular consideration of the significant impact this will have on the many businesses and worthy organisations that have been associated with this site for a large number of years.
The Board has been reluctant to take these measures. However, the overriding considerations of: public safety (current and future); uncertainty over the full extent of repair that is required; uncertainty about the total amount of funds available (for both restoration and strengthening work); and the ultimate need to prioritise funds toward those buildings with the most important heritage values has meant that the Board had little choice than to elect total closure for all buildings deemed unfit for occupation. This determination recognises that some buildings— while suffering less damage than others— could still create a potential hazard either for occupants or restoration workers operating in the immediate proximity.
The site closure will also allow remediation work to proceed at the greatest pace possible, which will be of significant benefit to both the Arts Centre and the community at large.
Meantime, the Arts Centre site is considered unsafe to enter and remains cordoned off with access restricted to those persons working on stabilising the buildings under the direction of the consulting engineers.

Avant que sa déconstruction ne s’amorce, PJCCI a offert à la population des visites guidées du pont Champlain. Ces visites à caractère historique de 90 minutes, présentées en collaboration avec la Fondation Héritage Montréal, ont eu lieues durant les deux premières fins de semaine de novembre 2019. Les participants ont pu descendre sur le pont Champlain d'origine pour capter des images inédites et vivre une expérience mémorable.
Before the deconstruction starts, JCCBI offered guided tours of the Champlain Bridge to the public for two weekends. These historic 90-minute tours presented in collaboration with Heritage Montreal were offered during the first two weekends in November. Visitors to the original Champlain Bridge can capture never-before-seen images and enjoy a memorable experience!

An audio tour or audio guide provides a recorded spoken commentary, normally through a handheld device, to a visitor attraction. They are also available for self-guided tours of outdoor locations, or as a part of an organised tour. It provides background, context, and information on the things being viewed. Audio guides are often in multilingual versions and can be made available in different ways. Some of the more elaborate tours available include original music and interviews, offering an experience more comparable to an audio documentary than to a traditional guided tour. Traditionally rented on the spot, some audio guides are free or included in the entrance fee, others have to be purchased separately.

A brand new project I've started working on this summer is my 'Audio Guide' series.
As I was walking around Stonehenge I noticed something that had been bothering me on my last few visits to big old attractions. It was quiet. Abnormally quiet. Especially when you consider the volume of people visiting there.
When I was little there were noisy groups following one guide, waving their arms around expressively in just about any given language. You could stand and listen for a while (feeling like a naughty hanger on) or you could browse the informational placques dotted in relevant places. Now, there are Audio Guides.
They are probably interesting, I must admit I've never taken one, but as a photographer I like to soak up the scene with sights, smells, sounds and all. Now I began to notice couples distanced from each other. Groups in uncanny silence. Spectators with blank, distant looks.
And I began hipshooting with the iPhone, trying to capture the same expression I was witnessing over and over again.
I guess this is a small study for what could become a much larger project for me and my 5d. Heck I could even use the Pentax 6x7 because no one would notice the sound of the shutter. They are too busy listening to the Audio Guide.
The path to the cave where Zeus was born is a little steep at times. So may people take a guide with a donkey to ride uphill. These to greek fellows where waiting for their customers to return from the cave.
1985 would be the last year for the Linden-built Eldorado and Seville. The model year also introduced the new downsized front wheel drive DeVille and Fleetwood, which had been brought out early in April 1984. The Fleetwood Brougham continued on, largely unchanged from the prior year. The Cimarron was slightly revised for 1985.
Here is the complete 1985 merchandising guide. It contains color and vinyl selections, interior cloth and leather choices, option compatibility and recommendations, as well as technical and demographic information as they pertain to each model.
At the end are product release guides as features became available/were discontinued throughout the model year.
Some scans of the vinyl/leather/cloth choices are a little blurred, as my scanner could not work with the non flat surface of the page. Enjoy!
About The Series: The focal press guides, usually but not always written by the indefatigable W. D. Emanuel are a treasure trove for collectors of cameras. Not for the sections on how to use individual cameras (which do, however contain a great deal of good sense) but for the descriptions of different models. They are the first source to go to if you want to know the difference between (for example) an Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model I and an Ensign Selfix Model II or how many elements the Trinar lens in your Regula camera has
