When the elevator door opened to the rooftop pool at Central Palace Hotel in Saigon, I did not expect to see THIS.
The black helicopter is a stylized replica and tribute to one of the most iconic photographs of the Vietnam War—Hubert Van Es’s 1975 image of a rooftop evacuation during the Fall of Saigon. Installed on a platform in the hotel’s rooftop swimming pool, it directly overlooks the original photo site. That photo can be viewed here:

Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3626 idles in Salt Lake City on Aug. 23, 1992. It is one of three UP SD40-2s to wear the "Operation Redblock" scheme.
From UP.com: "Operation RedBlock began as a joint labor-management effort in the late 1970s in response to increased substance use among railroad employees. A local UP labor representative suggested that these employees should have the opportunity for rehabilitation rather than dismissal."

Operation Barbarossa started on June 22nd, 1941, with the Germans rapidly invading the Soviet Union and decimating Soviet forces in virtually every battle. Hitler's plan was to conquer Eastern Europe for future German colonization called "Lebensraum". Ukraine was especially desired since at the time it was the breadbasket of Europe. When the Germans were conquering the Soviet Union, the Ukrainians and other peoples welcomed them as heroes because of the fact they "freed" them from communist oppression. The Holodomor was fresh in the average Ukrainians memory which was an artificial famine that killed millions and they were still resentful towards Stalin.
Two groups that wanted to take advantage of this moment was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) which was into Italian fascism, was led by Andriy Melnik and the younger more violent OUN-B, was National Socialist which was led by Stepan Bandera. They originally existed because they were angry that Poland was "occupying" the province of Galicia which is claimed by both Poles and Ukrainians (even to this day).
However, the Ukrainians would learn that the Nazis were replacing one form of oppression with another. Hitler hated Slavic peoples and wanted them enslaved, "transferred" (possibly to Siberia) or at worst exterminated. When the OUN declared an independent Ukrainian state, that was shut down as quickly as possible. The Nazis committed atrocities against the Ukrainians which soon led to the growth of more partisan groups and led to some joining the Soviet army by the time they started "liberating" it from the Nazis.
In a last ditch effort, the Nazis freed imprisoned Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera to inspire the Ukrainians but that ultimately failed. Even during his imprisonment all the OUN-B did was mass murder Poles in the provinces of Galicia and Volhynia. Today he's seen as a controversial figure as he is popular in Western Ukraine which is full of Catholic Ukrainians and hated in Eastern Ukraine which is full of Orthodox Russians.
April 2030, after information that has been intercepted by the crushed Warsaw Pact about the weak points of DARKWATER's defense around New York City and the massive planning that followed, the attack may commence. Platoons of EU soldiers infiltrate and squeeze through the cracks in the defense system. The most efficient way to infiltrate was to move through towering crates and harbor ships to attack the grand city.

Operation Takedown.
Listen here suno.com/s/h7giNudw3PQGIDjN
(Intro - Heavy Bassline & Feedback)
(Verse 1)
Major poetical works, pilgrimages, poetical powers,
Eruptions of the mind, and wars, standing in the towers!
Preoccupied structures, declarations so bold,
Forget every lesson that we were ever told!
Screaming demons, rats, directions ignored,
Stretching all the rules until the system gets bored!
No more solicitations, no excessive meetings,
The bard’s redesigning laws to stop the fake greetings!
(Chorus)
Operation Takedown! Tear down the wall!
Operation Takedown! Watch the big bugs fall!
Justice lands cold, justice lands hot—
We’re taking back everything that you forgot!
(Verse 2)
Cultural reactions built over important years,
Reorienting amours while you drown in your fears!
Laughing at the idiots, determined workers rise,
A controversial painter with the fire in his eyes, ha!
Radical moves bring the emerging devils out,
Suspects taken hard—hear the persistent folly shout!
Instinctive spirit blasting out the dissipation,
We’re proud, we’re relentless, an unbowed generation!
(Verse 3)
Relevant apparatus deployed to break the spell,
Exception passages reading texts straight out of hell!
Notes and frantic underlines to silence every mouth,
Vanishing the tongues as the whole thing goes south!
In the bowers, past the praises, descending through the days,
Distant hours calling through the suffocating haze!
Trash the green temptations and the vanity’s rose,
We’re cutting off the bullshit right under your nose!
(Chorus)
Operation Takedown! Tear down the wall!
Operation Takedown! Watch the big bugs fall!
Justice lands cold, justice lands hot—
We’re taking back everything that you forgot!
(Verse 4 - New)
System crash, network down, static on the wire,
We set the old manifesto straight on fire!
Your corporate handshakes, your shiny glass cages,
We’re ripping out the text and we’re burning up the pages!
Tear down the protocol, smash the control,
They bought the machinery, but they couldn't buy the soul!
Boot print on the carpet, siren in the street,
There’s no negotiation when we make the deadline meet!
(Verse 5 - New)
Static in the alleyways, light up the stage,
Converting all the agony to pure, raw rage!
No permission requested, no surrender in sight,
We’re striking match after match in the dead of the night!
Clock’s ticking down, hear the countdown start,
Hammer on the anvil in a revolutionary heart!
Break through the iron gate, shatter all the locks,
We’re throwing real bricks through your shiny glass box!
(Bridge - Fast tempo shift, frantic drums)
Eager eagles flight! Pestilence flies!
Chastening words cut through all your lies!
Unmeaning stories told, flying joys fade—
Spray the top bugs! Watch the whole deck re-made!
(Guitar Solo - Messy, loud, full feedback)
(Chorus)
Operation Takedown! Tear down the wall!
Operation Takedown! Watch the big bugs fall!
Justice lands cold, justice lands hot—
We’re taking back everything that you forgot!
(Outro)
Cold! Hot! Cold! Hot!
Spray the bugs! Burn the lot!
Operation Takedown!
Operation Takedown!
Operation Takedown!
ALL OVER TOWNNNNN!!!!
(Feedback screeches, sudden abrupt stop)

The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991), codenamed Operation Desert Storm (January 17, 1991– February 28, 1991) commonly referred to as simply the Gulf War, was a war waged by a U.N.-authorized coalition force from 34 nations led by the United States, against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. -Wikipedia

A McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) CF-18 "Hornet" (official military designation CF-188) (S/N 188791) from the Canadian Air Task Force Lithuania flies beside a Portuguese General Dynamics (its aviation unit now part of Lockheed Martin) F-16 "Fighting Falcon" (S/N 15102) over Lithuania on September 15, 2014 for the NATO Baltic Air Policing Block 36 during Operation REASSURANCE.
Dated: 25 Nov 2010
Time: 9:15 PM
A big hornet nest on the tall trees has been destroyed. Six people from Public Defense Department (JPA) called upon by the villagers came with a long prop, cotton waste and gasoline. About 15 minutes later, they start the flame and bring it up to burn the nest. Then, a colony of hornet (Giant Wasps) has turned to ash.
Can you imagine what the lost to the nature and macro lovers like us !
Paris. 2017
After last year’s terrorist attacks on Paris, the French government launched Operation Sentinelle, in which combat troops patrol streets and protect key sites around the cities. The now permanent presence of thousands of soldiers in full combat gear across Paris and major cities has transformed the image and mood of France.
In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter

This intelligence was confirmed as the surveillance team followed the courier to a dock where he boarded a fishing boat and traveled out to sea. The courier was also seen boarding the yacht and met with the financier.

Aberdeen Harbour, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. First established as a business in 1136 by King David 1st of Scotland, Aberdeen Harbour is, according to the Guinness Book of Business Records, the oldest existing business in Britain, with a history that has spanned almost 900 years. Aberdeen Harbour is one of the UK’s busiest ports. A world leading marine support centre, it is the principal port for the energy sector in Western Europe and serves a number of industries as the main commercial port in the North-East of Scotland. With trading links to more than 40 countries worldwide, Aberdeen Harbour generates in excess of £1.5billion GVA annually.
