This is a new Chase Bank going up. It is built like a bunker and is waiting for a few finishing touches. I asked a man about the wavy finish and he said he's only the electrician and his job was to simply make it light up.
The fire hydrant you see continually leaking in the previous capture is right beside it. Do we see a pattern here?
These wavy side panels are "Chisled Limestone Corners Cream" and they are simply waiting for the mortar.
I hope the panels don't blow off before they are finished - from the outside so far this bank looks pretty - not sure about how sturdy!
She was so exhausted she just layed their to die But when we saw her eyes blink we took on the arduous task of keeping her cool while we dragged her back to the water where she was able to recover. Hope she had better luck the next time she attempted to drop her eggs. North Magdelaine Sand Cay 490km east of Cairns. We hope to check it out again this spring on our way to East PNG.

An old man playing "Tumbi" one of the oldest music instrument alive today.
Clicked at Chandigarh Carnival 2005.
Chandigarh is where I live,its a capital of 2 states of India i.e Punjab and Haryana.
So diversity of culture is here , as I call it hub of cultures .
About Tumbi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tumbi is a traditional South-Asian instrument form the Punjab region. The high pitched, single string plucking instrument is associated with folk music of Punjab and presently very popular in Western Bhangra Music.
The tumbi was popularized by the Punjabi folk-singer Yamla Jatt (also spelled 'Jamla Jatt'). The instrument is made of a wooden stick mounted with a Toomba or wooden resonator covered with skin. A metallic string is passed on a resonator over a bridge and tied to the key at the end of the stick. The string is struck with the continuous flick and retraction of the forefinger.
"Get your freak on" by Timbaland and Missy Elliot saw the introduction of the distinct tumbi sound into the popular mainstream music scene.
"Mundeya tou bach ke rahi" (Beware of Boys) from Panjabi MC, a huge hit in the UK charts, is perhaps the most widely-known example of the use of tumbi in popular music.
The tumbi was also featured in the song "20 Inch" by Jamaican reggae artist Cutty Ranks in which it was played by Toronto, Ontario, Canada native Shawn Ramta (grandson of the famous Punjabi folk singer, Hazara Singh Ramta)
The Chin tattooed women live in the Chin, Rakhine and Arakan states in northwestern Myanmar. The origin of facial tattoos in the region is unknown. Some believe that the practice began during the reigns of Kings long ago. The royalty used to come to the villages to capture young women. The men from the tribe may have tattooed their women to make them ugly, thereby saving them from a life of slavery. Interestingly, I heard a similar origin for body modification among the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia. As legend has it, the tribeswomen began wearing giant lip plates to make them uglier to would-be kidnappers. Now, the bigger the lip plate the higher the bride price.
For years, access to the tribal Mindat area was restricted by the burmese government. It was opened just two years ago. Only about 700 tourists visit per year. Most of them only visit the bucolic Mount Victoria by bus, never meeting the tattooed women who remain isolated, hours away by foot. Those who do wish to meet them better pack good walking shoes and be prepared to sleep in smoke-filled local houses complete with rats.
There are a few different face tattoo patterns. The spiderweb tattoo is popular in the Mrauk U region. It takes a three hour long tail boat ride to reach this remote area. This tattoo is usually accompanied by a circle in the center of the forehead which represents the sun or lines under the nose symbolizing tiger whiskers.
Another design, known as the bee pattern, is common in the Mindat area. It is composed of dots, lines and occasionally circles. It is worn by the Muun tribe who inhabit the hills of the Arakan state.
The Magan tribeswomen wear huge earrings made of beads and calabashes. They can also play the flute with their noses.
I ventured to Kanpelet village in search of the women from the U Pu tribe who have the incredibly rare whole face tattoo. This is one of the most impressive styles: the entire face is inked up. Rumors had it that only three women in this area had the tattoo. After hours of off roading, I arrive in the village only to learn that one died recently and another was very ill. I was lucky enough to meet Pa Late. At 85, she is nearly deaf but still works hard with her family in a small house on the top of a little hill.
Pa Late said that a completely black face had become a symbol of beauty in the past. The few women who refused to do it looked ugly to the men. The tattoo took three days but the pain lasted over a month.
There are two ways to make the tattoo needle. The first consists of tying three pieces of bamboo together and the second uses thorns. The ink is a mixture of cow bile, soot, plants, and pig fat. It usually took one day to complete the standard tattoo and a few more for the totally black one. The tattoo artist was a specialist or in some cases a parent. Infection was a common problem as the girls had blood all over their face.
Everything, including the eyelids, was tattooed. Many women say that the neck was the most sensitive area.
Ma Aung Seim shared her memories of the tattoo sessions : “I was 10 years old. The day before the tattoo ceremony, I only ate sugarcane and drank tea. It was forbidden to eat meat or peanuts. During the tattoo session, I cried a lot, but I could not move at all. After the session, my face bled for 3 days. It was very painful. My mother put fresh beans leaves on my face to alleviate the pain. I had no choice if i wanted to get married. Men wanted women with tattoos at this time. My mother told me that without a tattoo on my face, i would look like... a man! The web drawn on my face attracted the men like a spiderweb catches insects!”
Not all the tattooed women live in remote areas deep in the mountains. Some have integrated into modern society. Miss Heu, 67, lives in Kanpelet. Her grandmother forced her to get tattooed. She lives in a modern house and even has TV (when electricity is not out). Chin people have maintained their modesty and shyness: when a movie showspeople kissing or making love, most of them still fast forward the scene.
As a leader in the local community, Miss Heu had the chance to meet Aung San Suu Kyi when she came in the area for a meeting. She is very aware of the tattooed women and the ethnicities that are forgotten by the central government. She says she and Aung San Suu Kyi are friends now. Heu’s daughter has graduated and works in Singapore.
The Chin culture is threatened by the government as their teachers are usually not Chin. For a long time, they fought for independence, but since the country began to democratize, things have calmed down.
“I am old. Soon I will die” says to me a Chin woman from Pan Baung village, while she does the gesture of drying tears from her eyes. In her village, only 6 tattooed woman remain alive. Those women are the last of their kind…

ODC Saving
Everyone saves their old eyeglasses, sticking them in a drawer on the chance that they may need them some time in the future. They are usually still in the drawer when the next pair comes along, and eventually, a small collection builds up.
Lions Clubs collect used eyeglasses, reconditions them and distribute them through their vision conservation clinics in the third world. Something that is eventually worthless to you can have an enormous impact on the recipient. for them, a pair of glasses can mean getting an education or a job, and can pull an entire family out of poverty.

Firstly, about 2 years ago, I did a photoshop job on a sign that says "Flood" next to the river in New Farm. I painted the river water up around the Flood sign which is next to a restaurant and quite large. Every time we get lots of rain here, the views for this photo goes through the roof, as people see it from a search.
Today, someone posted a link at the bottom of the comments to a ABC news photo of THE REAL THING and if you look at them side by side, it is amazingly similar. Mine was pure speculation.
As we walk around the Gilligans Island where we are trapped, I can't help but notice the irony of some signs, as if you haven't already guessed.
This was a silent carwash down the street.
Our late walking excursion showed that the water is dropping, probably by about half a metre from what we saw this morning.
The river is still a raging torrent, but the moorings and boats have ceased to float by, although there is a lot of smaller junk going passed.
I just watched on TV a large sinking yacht in the river with 2 men on board. Eventually, the yacht sank rapidly from the rear, and the 2 men managed to separate in runabouts, but they were very close, and as the yacht went down, the bow flipped up and over and the masts and rigging capsized the runabouts and depositied the people in the river. Apparently they were both rescued and one was slightly hurt.
I spoke to a policeman at the city end of the road closure, and he told me that if the circumstances were desperate, they would allow me to drive out on the only available bridge exit lane but I may not be able to get back. There are roads flooded everywhere, and it may be tricky finding a path through streets that were usable, if we were to try to return home.
It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings, as it is possible that the water will drop quickly and sufficiently, to allow more roads to open.
People this afternoon were able to walk to the dry parts of the city and South Bank, but it is only open to people and pushbikes, as it uses an elevated pedestrian path.
A lady I spoke to returning from this trip says that South Bank looks like a war zone.
We are doing ok, we still get some emergency power, as the building manager has found a way to get friends deliver a drum of fuel at the railway overhead bridge where he meets it to trolly it across the railway to bring to the apartment. He is fantastic for that effort.
We walked over the railway footbridge to the dry side of the line, and found a small Chinese store who had friends buy essentials like bread, milk, batteries at stores in parts of the city less affected, and drive them to their shop so people here can buy some things. It is the only shop open here. Top marks to them for their efforts.
My comment last night about my camera was that the cable connecting the camera to the laptop was left behind. I have more photos, but no way of getting them onto the laptop.
If I use my Panasonic camera, it is all good, this is what you see today.
Cheers for now, and let's see what tomorrow brings. Mrs Mail is pressing to return to the castle, even though there is no electricity there.
