We stumbled by chance on a coast guard rescue operation while visiting Las Teresitas.
Helicopter and boats were searching around a specific spot on the coast.
We checked later and found out that tragically two young swimmers got trapped in a small cave and drowned before help arrived.
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:

In January 2015, the City of Broken Hill was included on the National Heritage Register. This register lists 106 other iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Kakadu National Park, and the Australian Alps. Broken Hill is the first city to be listed. Extensive research and consultation with the Broken Hill community was a key part of the listing.
The National Heritage List is Australia’s pre-eminent heritage list recognising and protecting the nation’s most valued natural, indigenous, and historic heritage sites. Listing is the highest heritage honour in Australia and listed placed receive national attention and benefits from increased domestic and international tourism. Broken Hil has been assessed against the nine National Heritage Criteria, which include historic, aesthetic, and social values, creative and technical achievements, associations with significant peoples, and others.
The following is the Statement of Significance for the City of Broken Hill which was prepared as part of the listing process:
“The City of Broken Hill has outstanding significance to the nation for its role in creating enormous wealth, for its long, enduring and continuing mining operations, and the community’s deep and shared connection with Broken Hill as the isolated city in the desert, its outback landscape, the planned design and landscaping of the town, the regeneration areas and particularly the physical reminders of its mining origins such as the Line of Lode, the barren mullock heaps, tailings, skimps and slagheap escarpment and relict structures. It exhibits historic qualities in its ongoing mining operations since 1883, the current and relict mining infrastructure and its landscape setting. It is significant for its industrial past ….. together with its role as a pioneer in setting occupational health and safety standards.”
“It demonstrates the principal characteristics of a mining town in a remote location with extensive transport infrastructure and administrative connections to three state capitals and as a rare example of a place subject to Australia’s complex Federal system where differing administrative, social and economic influences are expressed in both tangible and intangible forms. It has social significance for its residents as a place of community pride, endurance, and as a remote mining community resilient to major social and economic change, Broken Hill has strong social significance for all Australians as a place where great wealth was created, as well as strong group associations with the Barrier Industrial Council. It exhibits outstanding aesthetic characteristics as a city in an arid desert setting, as the subject of interest for Australian artists, poets, film makers, TV producers and photographers.”
“It has significance as a place where outstanding technical achievement has occurred in refining ore for its minerals including the froth flotation process and the computer controlled on-stream analysis of slurries. Broken Hill is also important as a place of research potential to reveal further information on mineral deposits with its range of complex minerals. It is associated with person of great importance to Australia’s history, including Albert Morris (arid land regeneration), Charls Rasp (discoverer), Herbert Hoover (mining engineer), WL Baillieu, WA Robinson and MAE Mawby (industrialists), GD Delprat (metallurgist), Percy Brookfield and Eugene O’Neill (unionists). Broken Hill’s association with the Barrier Industrial Council as a group is also important.”
“The Broken Hill zinc-lead-silver ore deposit is one of the world’s largest ore bodies and contains an extraordinary array of minerals. It is geologically complex and has national scientific significance. The Broken Hill operation is significant for its immense size and unrecorded mineral species continue to be found. It contributes to an understanding of the formation of the Australian continent and more than 2, 300 million years of the earth’s history.”
The City of Broken Hill is delighted that the special heritage values of the city are recognised and celebrated nationally and internationally by this listing.
Wilyakali Country:
Wilyakali lies in the east of the state of South Australia, crossing into New South Wales, including the town of Broken Hill. The Wilyakali people traditionally visited the Paakantji people on the Menindee Lakes in the Darling Riverine Plains Bioregion each year.
The three Major language groups for the Broken Hill Region are the Paakantji, Mayyankapa, and Nyiimpaa.
Wilyakali and Danggali both lie east of the Ngadjuri language and north of the upper River Murray languages.
Wilyakali and Danggali are part of the Darling River Language Group or Paakantyi / Paakantji language group. This is a group of closely related languages in South Australia and New South Wales, which can be subdivided into two groups: the “Northern Dialects” and the “Southern Dialects.” Wilyakali and Danggali are both part of the “Southern Dialects.”
Other “Southern Dialects” include Pulaali, Southern Pankantyi, Pantyikali, Wanyuparlku and Marrawarra. Some of these languages have been recorded more than others. Although each language has its own distinguishing features, they are so similar they can be understood by speakers of other languages in this group. Therefore, the following reference list will include Southern Paakantyi references that may be helpful. The language name is noted in square brackets after each reference, when known.
Today the Wilyakali people are still the main Aboriginal group in Broken Hill, though there are a number of Aboriginal people that come from other language groups.
The Aboriginal people of Broken Hill have established working parties to pursue their vision of a better future. They continue to look after their traditional lands and are joint managers of the Mutawintji National Park which is the first national park handed back to the traditional owners in New South Wales. There are many strong elders who continue to maintain and pass on their traditional knowledge to their young people and, today, share their stories with the wider community.

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."

Traffic rolls on as 93M and it's lone Operation Lifesaver GP38-2 glide over Herr Street in downtown Harrisburg as they return to Harrisburg Yard from the Steelton Industrial Track.
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.

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

Nestled on the edge of a small town in rural North Nottinghamshire, Tuxford Windmill is one of the finest examples of a traditional working windmill. It's a Grade II Listed Building. The mill was erected in 1810 an remained in operation until the 1920s when it was damaged in a storm. The 38ft tower corn windmill was built before 1840 and out of use by 1906. At just over 200 years old, the windmill is the only privately owned commercial windmill to fund it’s on going restoration in Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK, which mills grain using traditional stones, using wind-power only. The grains it uses for milling are mostly grown by the Turner family who farm in South Lincolnshire and are members of the British Soil Association. The rest of the milling grains are British grown and are sourced through a grain merchant. You can taste delicious goodies all made from the Mill's flour, at its Tearoom.
It's a 4-storey black tower mill with an ogee cap and four sails. Received an *SPAB Mill Section plaque for the restoration in 1995. The mill is built of red brick, tarred to create a weatherproof black exterior. There are two window openings at ground floor level and two doorways with 20th-century doors. The tower supports a white-painted cap and four sails with a fantail.
*The Mills Section of the SPAB is the UK's national organisation devoted to protecting and promoting traditional windmills and watermills.

The spread wings of the Crested Caracara provide a subframe for the second Caracara at the top of a cell tower they have frequented over the past week or so. Before they move on, I will take as many pictures as possible. By the way, I’m not really sure if this counts as “subframing.”
