Great pics - love 'em.
I went through a couple of situations like this in the Navy on a Spruance-class destroyer.
Waves over 40 feet tall submerged the bow, ripped fire hoses off their fittings and flattened the life rails to the deck. The whole ship shuddered with every wave impact. We had to wear seatbelts at our watchstations. Although we were half afraid the bow would break off, it was kind of a fun experience.
At one time, we were steaming with an older ship that had riveted hull plates, and we had to turn away from the waves because she was springing her rivets from the impact of running into the waves. Going parallel to those waves is much worse from a comfort standpoint. The worst though is quartering the waves, because you go up and down at the same time as you're rolling side-to-side - tough to eat or keep your food down when that's going on.

His real name is not a secret. "Aleksey" is his official name, written in passport. His mother and wife call him "Alesha" with love in voice. His close friends can call him "Lesha" or "Leha". He calls himself "Letchik Leha" - that means "Pilot Aleksey". Rich and beautiful Russian language allows to transfer many subtle differences and senses just by changing words.

I can't find it anywhere, but I read a woman's first hand account of fleeing to South Korea to escape religious persecution. In that account she spoke about how hard it was to understand the Christian concept of the Trinity because of the way it's used on NK. Apparently there are three people in NK (Kim Jong Il being one of them) who are worshiped as a trinity of godlike men. That's why it seems appropriate for there to be so much imagery in those posters about threes... three missiles, three people, three prongs, etc... anyway, it really caught my eye that they use 3 so much.
shalom!

Read more

Please proofread your content. Two of the posters (not the army training pictures) are clearly Chinese, with Chinese characters, one poster actually saying "China" in it. The fact you lump them all together in one generic translation is definitely not true. The translation you provided does not apply to the Chinese posters, although because I cannot read Korean, I wouldn't be able to tell about the others. The fact that you cannot tell the difference is unacceptable, especially if you're going to group all of them together. Also, the Chinese posters don't even have "anti-US" sentiments in them. There's nothing that says "down with captialism" in them, and there's not even a picture of them crushing a capitol building, or beating the crap out of an American. And also, you can clearly see the South Korean symbol in the headbands of some of the army training pictures. Please take down or make a note of the pictures I've mentioned, as I'm assuming most of your readers will assume what you have when you posted these pictures. No hard feelings, just please be more accurate.

The meanings are somewhat as follows. The scary thing, I guess,
is 15, since they still try to unify two koreas by armed forces.
1. On hard pressure, we'll fight with hard hits,
On sanctions, with merciless punishment.
2. With the unified forces of the whole people,
let's crush american scheme of nuke war provocation.
3. Merciless punishment to American imperialists!
4. Never run amuck, Imperialist americans!
5. We'll crush american bastards, if you invade our nation!
6. we launched a satellite by our wisdom and strength.
The first roar of the big strong nation!
7. Clear up the enemy with more mercilessness.
8. The target of our revolutionary force is not changed!
9. There's no place to escape for this ----?
10. This one is in the writings on explanation.
11. The targets are clear! Seoul Washington Tokyo
12. Stern judgement to americans and its followers.
13. Great victory to armed forces leading politics!
14. We can survive by our means and resources.
15. The unified nation is on our guns and bayonets!
16. If you offend our pride, we'll show down whereever you're.

1. illegible
2. produce more, give more.

Regarding the photo with the man smoking a cigarette in the yellow car, the sticker on the windshield says "Vásárosdombó", which is a small village in Hungary. This means either that the photo is not from Russia or the Russian driver joined an offroad meeting in Hungary.

in Canada... seem that these Russians are attempting to drive on winter roads in the summer!!!
You built roads in the winter
where heavy machinery dig out
the frozen muck and replace it
with gravel, which drain easy
and is stable in the warm season.
But all that take money and these
Russians have spent all their resources
making jet planes to give to

Japanese are losing fish harvests due to Nomuras. They kill the nomuras caught in their nets, but nomuras will drop their eggs and sperm upon dying, therefore "seeding" the next generation. This makes the likelihood of catching more jellyfish instead of food fish. Japanese rely too heavily on the sea and are creating more of a mess with their policies.

if iran is a democracy, and the popularly elected leader of the country is a representation of the will of the people, then surely the people of Iran are insane. Ahmaninejad is a hitlerite kill-the-jews, kill-the-americans, kill-anyone-who-challenges-islam type; his support of numerous terrorist groups places him below sanity.

Stop believing all the propaganda about Iran. It is a developing democracy just as all the modern democracies today once were. Also it has a diverse population including a large jewish population who've lived there since the old testament (remember Daniel in the lions' den?). Does supporting organisations fighting illegal occupation make Iran a terrorist state? You should visit the place as they're famous for their hospitality.

Kinser - What state do you live in? And if you don't think that Iran is so beautiful in these pictures, then perhaps you should take a look at this:
http://www.worldisround.com/articles/73022/index.html
http://www.worldisround.com/articles/98910/index.html
And Kinser, I don't think Iran is any more terrorist than the U.S. is! I'll tell you why: First of all can you mention any terrorist activity where the terrorist or terrorists have been Iranian?
Iran supports Hamas and Hezbollah, but these organizations are no more terrorist than was the Contra which the U.S. supported. The CIA has also supported the murderous fascist "grey wolves" of Turkey, and several congressmen and the current U.S. establishment and Pentagon have supported /are supporting an anti-Iranian terrorist group by the name of MKO or MEK (Mujahedin Khalq Organization) which also happens to be listed on the U.S. list of terrorist groups! So I really can not see how you can think that Iran is any more a "terrorist state" than the U.S. is.
And finally here is another great album: http://www.worldisround.com/articles/343042/index.html

Kinser cracks me up. "And quite honestly i've seen better scenery here at my home state."
only an american would bother to post something so rude. plus it is like saying there is only one pretty girl, or only one good wine, or only one good swimming hole. "Quite honestly, " are there degrees of honesty? "we have better swimming holes in my home state.' home? state?
as for the terrorism charge, it is debateable and depends on your perspective. some would say bombing with depleted uranium is the height of terrorism. it is pretty clear that the people dodging the american bombs were terrified.
as with most things, i suggest you follow the money. some people are making billions from our war culture. all wars end up with arms sellers behind them. the people would like q chance to get along

Wow. How great pictures you have here. Every post is a complete surprise. Thanks for sharing this. I wonder about all the efforts to bring all the pictures here.
If I'm not mistaken I think the crane "Svanen", the Swan, used for building the Öresund bridge was even bigger. And, it also moved the bridge segments into place with fantastic precision.
You have a fantastic collection of cool pictures here. Great!
i love watching these things on discovery channel. i saw one where big pillars come out of the bottom of the barge and turn it from a floating crane into a crane resting on the floor of the ocean.
This crane is surprisingly simple in design. Very cool.
The submarine....is it a Harushio class SSK?
This barge is a nice toy, but nothing compared to the Saipem 7000 (that own the world lifting record of 12100 T offshore).
You may find pictures online.
