Dated: 1943
Once there was a sign here that urged motorists to turn left or right. Curiously enough, the street does continue to the next block--but most people wouldn't want to go straight unless they intended to stop at the two houses and church on that block.
The Ho Chi Minh City Post Office is located just across the road from the Notre Dame Cathedral. It's a tourist attraction too.

Green tape emblazoned with "Opened by Australia Post for inspection by Customs." is my worst nightmare when expecting a shipment of postcards, as it means the contents of the envelope will be either damaged or missing. Guaranteed. In the case of "Wache 9", a 100 year old postcard that survived two world wars and undoubtedly several owners, it means the latter.
My guess is that it was removed by a careless Australia Post or Customs employee so he/she could determine the envelope did not contain a kilogram of pure German cocaine and then somehow discarded.
Yes it survived two world wars, but it could not survive the might of Australia Post incompetency.

Post box in Beverley where they hold the Wednesday Market decorated with soft toys. Beverley East Yorkshire a large market town and is in the area of the Yorkshire Wolds a famous beauty spot! Taken with an iPhone SE 15 June 2021
Yay! I found a post box topper!
I love them and was hoping to see one for the Coronation. I enjoy seeing them on the Facebook Post Box Toppers Group and was hoping to see one for the Coronation.
This one is a local repurposed one from the Jubilee. Sadly, at the time of the Jubilee it was stolen and wrecked, but the lady who made it repaired it.
It's so sad that people take pleasure in destroying things. It seems to have become the norm in general, in our country and the rest of the West!
Les armoiries de Genève apparaissent dès le XVe siècle. Leur représentation actuelle a été fixée par le Conseil d'Etat en 1918. Elles représentent la réunion des symboles de l'Empire (l'aigle à tête couronnée), auquel Genève a été rattachée au XIe siècle, et de l'évêque (la clef d'or) dont les citoyens tiennent leurs libertés et franchises depuis 1387.
Le cimier est un soleil apparaissant à demi sur le bord supérieur et portant le trigramme IHS en lettres grecques, reproduction du nom de Jésus sous une forme contractée (IHESUS).
Les anciennes couleurs de Genève étaient le gris et le noir. Au XVIIe siècle, le noir et le violet. Le jaune et le rouge prévalurent au XVIIIe siècle ; le noir fut ajouté durant la période révolutionnaire. Les armoiries de la Ville de Genève sont les mêmes que celles du canton.
La devise de Genève, "Post tenebras lux" (Après les ténèbres la lumière), date du milieu du XVIe siècle. Elle fait référence à la Réforme.
This cycle route is part of Sustrans NCN27 or the Devon Coast to Coast ride from Ilfracombe to Plymouth. Much of the route uses old railway lines and traffic free routes.
The small Post Office in Bearcreek Montana is open from 8am to 10 am, five days a week. The city started in 1905 by George Lamport and Robert Leavenslaid ou the town. Bearcreek was the center of an extensive underground coal mining district. At its height during World War 1, Bearcreek boasted a population of nearly 2,000 people. The community was ethnically diverse and included Serbians, Scotsmen, Montenegrans, Germans, Italians and Americans. They were served by seven mercantiles, a bank, two hotels, two billiard halls, a brickyard and numerous saloons. The town also boasted concrete sidewalks and an extensive water system. No church was ever built in Bearcreek. Foundations of many of the towns buildings, in addition to some structures themselves, consisted of sandstone quarried in the nearby hill. The local railway, the Montana Wyoming and Southern carried coal from the mines through Bearcreek where it was shipped to communities across Montana.
The city's life blood was coal. As coal went so did the town. In 1943, Montana's worst coal mining disaster at the nearby Smith mine took the lives of 74 men, many of whom lived in Bearcreek. The tragedy hastened the decline of the town. Many buildings in Bearcreek were moved to other communities or demolished, leaving haunting reminders of their presence along Main street. The railroad tracks were removed in 1953 and the last mine closed in the 1970's. Now there are a few buildings remaining. This HDR image was taken from the cementary east of town.

Bricks Cascade 2017 recap time!
First off, the general convention vibe was great. Compared to BrickCon, there was a lot more floor space, and yet the Technic section managed to be one of the most packed themes there. Everyone was quite welcoming, and new friends were made (always a plus)!
As for models, both the Koenigsegg and the Subarute were received very well. My last parts for the Subarute showed up on Saturday at 12:30ish, so I had to frantically build for a few hours to get the model to where it is now. Thankfully, it got done before Sunday's public hours, where it received quite a bit of attention. The Koenigsegg, of course, received it's usual "KOENIGSEGG!!!" and "Is that a Ferrari/Lamborghini/Saleen S5?" comments, and it was great seeing faces light up when I'd open the doors. The One:1 also won the award "Technic-al Achievement", which came with the Cargo Plane set you see in the photo (Convention organizers take note: trophies are better when they come with a set!).
On the topic of sets, I picked up two copies of 42063 while making a LEGO store run, along with the Claas tractor, which I and two other Technic builders drafted out (hence the big ziploc of Technic pieces). Off-screen are also two small boxes of system pieces that I'll need to sort through....
...which brings me to my next point. Everything in the picture (plus the two boxes of system and the Binary Clock model that's collecting dust) needs to be disassembled and sorted before I start my next model. Of course, I'm keeping the trophy intact, and I've got fairly accurate LDD models of both the Koenigsegg and the Subarute in the event that I need to rebuild them. The only thing is, my current LEGO sorting setup is already at the overflow point, and that's without the Koenigsegg and Subaru BrickLink orders (let alone the 3 sets and heaps of bulk). Guess it's time to buy some more storage containers!
Overall, Bricks Cascade was an absolute blast. It's great to finally go to a convention that's 20 minutes from home rather than 3.5 hours away, and the friendly environment made me feel quite at home. Plus, who can say no to free LEGO?
Ipanema beach is one of the darlings of the upper middle class. The place is frequented by day and night people are going to walk, play sports, chat and drink coconut water kiosks pedaling the bike path and of course, enjoy the sensuality and beauty of who frequents the place. Another reason for this success is due to the fact ipanema be less tumultuous than Copacabana although the opening of the subway station in the neighborhood have brought a new audience to the beach, especially on weekends. But even with this change, walk along the beach, day or night, is still pretty safe.

A praia de Ipanema é uma das queridinhas da classe média alta carioca. O lugar é frequentado dia e noite por pessoas que vão para caminhar, praticar esportes, bater papo e tomar água de coco nos quiosques, pedalar pela ciclovia e, claro, apreciar a sensualidade e beleza de quem frequenta o local. Outra razão para tanto sucesso se deve ao fato de ipanema ser menos tumultuado que Copacabana embora a inauguração da estação de metrô no bairro tenha trazido um público novo à praia, principalmente nos fins de semana. Mas mesmo com essa mudança, caminhar pela praia, de dia ou de noite, continua sendo bem seguro.
