On the outskirts of Soweto we passed this village of corrugated iron homes. A passer by informed us that this is temporary housing for a nearby squatter camp. Once th people have been moved into here, the squatter camp will be destroyed and proper housing and roads built on the squatter camp site. In terms of the South African Constitution everyone has the right to basic housing, so squatters cannot be evicted off land they have occupied unless the government provides alternative housing.
Whille working up a sweat, trudging up the steep path to Catrigg Force I spotted this little fella among the bushes, no doubt hiding from the numerous birds in the vicinity.
Since a few days 4 homeless people live under the bridge of Friedrichstrasse. Right in the centre of the city.
seit ein paar Tagen leben 4 Wohnungslose unter der Brücke Friedrichstraße. Mitten im Zentrum der Stadt.
When it rains on the north end of Cascade Mountain many of the little slot canyons leading off of Provo Canyon develop some pretty dramatic "temporary waterfalls" Most of these falls disappear during the summer and freeze during the winter. This plunging falls is about 500 yards north of the Upper Bridal Veil Falls. All of these falls including Bridal Veil feed the Provo River.
Some or all of these falls may have names but they are unknown to me. If you know please comment and add the name. Thanks.

To Support Displaced Youth from Fallujah
Inauguration of Temporary Premises of Fallujah University (Dorms and Classrooms)
in Abu Ghraib, Baghdad
On 23 June 2016, the temporary premises of Fallujah University, located inside the Veterinary College, Baghdad University in Abu Ghraib, were inaugurated. With the generous contribution from the Government of Japan, the temporary premises of Fallujah University were established by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) providing 25 classrooms and 128 residential units that can accommodate 512 students, in addition to basic site infrastructure and an administration building. The project aimed at supporting displaced youth who bear enormous and long-lasting human, social and economic costs.
His Excellency Mr. Sohaib Al-Rawi, Governor of Anbar, who attended the event, commented that while the Anbar Governorate has been supporting institutions displaced by violence outside and within Anbar, including Fallujah University, the ongoing financial crisis has affected all aspects of people’s lives and limited the government’s capacity to support. The Governor acknowledged the efforts of UN agencies and the ongoing support of UN-Habitat on housing self-repair and shelter projects within Ramadi. He expressed his gratitude to all those who stand with people of Iraq, and specifically of Fallujah, in the midst of the hardship they face.
On UN-Habitat’s side, Dr. Erfan Ali, Head of Iraq Programme, pointed out that lack of access to education among youth is one of the key factors that fuel a cycle of poverty, hopelessness and frustration. He expressed his hope that these new premises of Fallujah University will enable young women and men from Fallujah to continue their education and play an active role as agents of positive and constructive change.
Mr. Hirofumi Miyake, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim, Embassy of Japan in Iraq, stated that Japan also has its own internally displaced persons, resulting from disasters of tsunamis, earthquakes, debris, and the latest nuclear accident, and therefore the people of Japan understand very well the importance of support to displaced persons in Iraq. He further emphasized that Japan will continue to sustain the efforts of UN-Habitat to improve the living conditions of the displaced persons in Iraq.
Dr. Ibraheem Abdulkareem, Deputy President of Fallujah University, stated that the completion of the new premises of Fallujah University has provided a glimpse of hope in the heart of displaced students, and he recognized that the inauguration is concomitant to the liberation of Fallujah.
On his part, Mr. Sattar Nawroz Khan, General Director of Migration at the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, praised the joint cooperation and partnership between multiple actors, including the Governments of Iraq and Japan, Anbar Governorate, Fallujah University, and UN-Habitat, that enabled the positive results of the overall project.
This project was implemented within the framework of larger programme titled “Humanitarian Support to Internally Displaced Persons in Iraq through Provision of Durable Shelter,” funded by the Government of Japan, aiming to improve the living conditions of internally displaced persons in Iraq through the provision of prefabricated durable shelters, and thereby to support and strengthen their self reliance.

Landslip on West Coast Railway Line
The landslip is a couple of miles to the north of Leighton Buzzard and is at a location where Network Rail have got a lot of work to do just to get at the site. This afternoon their contractor Murphy was busy building a temporary roadway.
The land to the east side of the railway has slipped away leaving the London bound line (Up Slow) unsafe to use meaning that all Up trains have to use the Fast line.

I'd be curious to know who it is doing all of the lettering around Disneyland and California Adventure. Some of it is really nice. But, this looks like they incorporated some fonts too, which kinda disappointed me.
