Kaapstad. Cape Town.
Nobel Square.
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in the historic heart of Cape Town's working harbour is South Africa's most-visited destination, having the highest rate of foreign tourists of any attraction in the country.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_%26_Alfred_Waterfront
Nobel Square honours South Africa's four Nobel Peace laureates: the late Chief Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and former presidents Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk. The sculptures of the four Laureates stand in the form of a crescent with Table Mountain in the background, overlooking Nobel Square.
They are slightly larger than life-size and have the Laureates' preferred quotations engraved in their chosen language in front of the sculptures. The Peace and Democracy sculpture - a narrative work acknowledging the contribution of women and children to the attainment of peace in South Africa - is slightly more to the centre of the square. All five sculptures are cast in bronze.

I would like to thank all the young and old gentlemen at my local railway station for wearing their DMs with pride today. Never had so many sightings at the station before!

Love at first sight. A dock, a beach, a tunnel a railroad, an ocean, and buildings of multiple colors.
Tokyo Big Sight (東京ビッグサイト Tōkyō Biggu Saito) es el sobrenombre popular del Centro de Exposición Internacional de Tokio (東京国際展示場 Tōkyō Kokusai Tenjijō), un centro de convenciones japonés abierto en abril de 1996. Localizado en Odaiba, en la Bahía de Tokio, el centro es uno de los centros de convención más grandes en la ciudad, y una de las representaciones más icónicas es la Torre de Conferencias. Dos veces al año se celebra el Comiket, una convención de venta de dōjinshi.
Contraída por la Oficina de Finanzas del Gobierno Metropolitano de Tokio, la construcción del sitio estuvo a cargo de ocho contratistas en total, entre ellos compañías como las Corporaciones Hazama y Shimizu. La construcción empezó en octubre de 1992 y terminó en octubre de 1995. Costó en total 40.392 millones de Yen. El 45% de esa suma fue al que estaba a cargo de la Torre, la Corporación Hazama.

We took a trip out last year 2019. The museum were interested in some of Dad's old photos from the air field. We had a great day out and the hot dogs, cake and coffee were perfect. Next time we will introduce ourselves but the show was in full swing when we arrived so we had a good look around and headed for the canteen. :-) Very interesting exhibits.

Being a medic, I refused to have all the bells and whistles that my infantry buds lusted after... besides I'm a dead-eye with just my iron sights anyways.
And since we're in Iraq, its ALWAYS dusty no matter how many times I clean it. Whoever invented dust should be shot.
Officially named the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, “Tokyo Big Sight” is one of Japan’s foremost convention centers.The Conference Tower, with its distinctive inverted-pyramid design, makes this an easy place to find.

At first, I thought the range markings too worn to read but some work with a sanding block revealed the range markings hidden beneath the grime and yak grease. According to the specs, the Martini Henry rifle was sighted from 100-1500 yards, 100-400 yards via an 100 yard incremental graduated ramp, and 500-1500 yards raised leaf back-sight. And, while it looks like the numbers are 900, 200, 300, 800 they are, in fact, Nepali for 100, 200, 300, 400.
"Out of Sight" written and illustrated by Charles Lapointe, Harcourt Childrens Books, 1995. I liked the illustrations but the book only received so-so ratings. Trying to show children there's life outside without video games is a tough sell these days. In my collection. Dec. 2022
...sight for sore eyes! As we crossed Khardungla and started to descend, we saw this spectacular sight - where mountains were in layers - each with a color of brown and ice!
The bue hut is the army base, where they stay, as they watch over!

Devon Island, Baffin Bay, Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada

The afternoon's activities, sights, and sounds on YOUTUBE:
Devon Island (Inuit: Tatlurutit), located in Baffin Bay, Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada, is the world's largest uninhabited island. The ground remains frozen for almost the entire year, particularly the eastern third of the island, which is permanently covered by an ice cap some 500 to 700 meters thick. During the brief (40 to 55 days) growing season in the summer temperatures seldom exceed 50 °F and the ground is snow-free. In winter temperatures can plunge to as low as −58 °F).
Due to its relatively high elevation and its extreme northern latitude, Devon Island receives very little precipitation, resulting in a barren polar desert ecology, dominated by frost-shattered rocks and nearly devoid of plants and animals.
The lowlands are poorly drained favoring the growth of some moss over which Musk-Oxen graze year-round. The cold and wet soil is inhabited by invertebrates such as worms, protozoa, midge and fly larvae. The island also has a few bird populations.
For scientist and researchers, Devon Island is an extremely interesting place. Its desert setting and harsh climate is very similar to conditions on Mars.
Devon Island is the site of the Haughton impact crater, created approximately 39 million years ago when a meteorite about 1.2 mi in diameter slammed into what were then forests. The incident was so violent that rocks as far below as 1 mile were brought up to the surface. Because there is no flowing water due to the freezing temperature, weathering is minimal.
The impact left a crater about 14 mi in diameter, which was a lake for several million years. It retains many geological features that craters elsewhere lose to erosion. The Haughton impact crater area is said to have one of the most Mars-like terrain on earth.
It is the summer home to NASA's Haughton Mars Project, which studies how human explorers might live and work on other planetary objects, in particular on Mars. The
Haughton Mars Project has conducted geological, hydrological, botanical, and microbiological studies in this harsh environment since 1997.
“Devon Island's barren terrain, freezing temperatures, isolation, and remoteness offer NASA scientists and personnel a number of unique research opportunities,” reads the project’s information page on NASA’s website. “Other factors, such as the Arctic day and night cycle and restricted logistics and communications capabilities, offer fitting analogs for the challenges that crewmembers will likely face on long-duration space flights.”

Lets chat it up!
Viewing the forward grenade sight, launcher, muzzle and bayonet on my Yugoslavian SKS. It saw action in the civil war in the former country of Yugoslavia. The original stock developed a crack and was repaired at the factory. Then the rifle was eventually surplused to the US.
It had never been cleaned. It took me 45 minutes of cleaning just to be able to see the inside of the barrel instead of all the crud coating it. Another 30 minutes to get it properly cleaned. Then I started cleaning the exterior. The previous owner said the night sights were missing. NOPE. Just covered in gun powder residue and other gunk. Once cleaned and oiled, they operated just fine.
Now I have to buy some proper bullets and reload the cases to fire accurately. Common problem with the SKS and it's li'l brother, the AK-47, is that while the bullets are 7.62mm in diameter, the barrels are usually wider. This means the bullet wobbles as it travels down the barrel and accuracy is plus or minus 2.5 ft at 100 meters.
But if you find the true diameter of the barrel (it varies a lot) you can load the proper diameter bullet and get much better accuracy (plus or minus an inch, or less, at 100 meters). Part of the fun in reloading is finding the best combination of components to make your weapon as accurate as possible. And it means saving money on the ammunition, as components cost less than buying factory ammunition (25%-66% savings is common).
Sight seeing Lizard in Ghana, Africa.
Hey! Have a look at my Africa Collection
Stay tuned, I'm updating as much as i can.
Shot in an alley just off Park Street in Alameda. This temporary puddle doesn't qualify as a vernal pool but it's a welcome sight after years of drought. Let's hope it lasts through the winter months -- replenishing bone-dry water sources.
We're driving slow through the snow
On fifth avenue
And right now radio's
All that we can hear
Man we ain't talked since we left
It's so overdue
It's cold outside
But between us
The world slows down but my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part where the end starts
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
Everyday seven takes of the same
Seems we're bound by the loss of the same team
Gotta talk to you now fore we go to sleep
But well we sleep once I tell you
The world slows down but my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part where the end starts
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothings wrong
But there is no more time for lies
Cause I see in your eyes
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
