Thanks for posting but I can't see the photos as this country blocks the site where your photos are located. Some projects are ambitious but there's lots that's way behind the times.
Some may be behind the times but some are very advanced and ambitious. My friends and I are planning on going there some time but probably we will not stay in the 7 star hotel. I got a nice .pps presentation by email on Dubai architecture, which shows the rotating towers and other buildings.
Those are hysterical - thanks for posting! I've pinched the Citibank one and posted it on my blog (with all due credit and link back, of course!) I think my readers will get a laugh from it too.
I notice 438457650_81934df1c5.jpg and 438457714_76716def77.jpg both appear to have been censored. Each has a black rectangle, marked "Cargo package for ISS" and "New module for ISS" respectively. The black is solid and the rectangles are not in perspective with the rest of the photos, so apparently were added after the photo.
Excellent exposition. I've always wandered how the craft was attached to the boosters and the pictures reveal all and show it to be rudimentary mechanics-hoist and attach. That must be one awesome crane to be able to heave that amount of dead weight all the way up there. The counter-weight must be huge. Engineering at its best.
The shuttle lifts off from the MLP (Mobile Launch Platform), which is the rectangular part the crawler is carrying. The crawler moves the platform into place, puts it down on fixed support legs and then moves to a parking position. The tower is a fixed installation for the Shuttle launches, but in the Apollo days, it was carried to the launch pad as well.
My dad works on the external fuel tank, and he's gone down river on the barge before. In a weird side note, on the barge, it's one big party and there's an entire walk-in freezer devoted to ice cream and a chef onboard on duty 24/7 to cook whatever your heart desires. LOL
thank's for the acrobatic footbaall moment I love football. I think peter crouch cannot do acrobatic things like that before, but now sure he can!! bravo Liverpool..!!
The last picture of the Jeep on the ledge has been around since at least the early 80's. It was a Warn winch poster / advertisement. Photoshop didn't exist then. Don't know how they did it though.
indeed, the last pic is of a jeep on black bear pass in telluride, co. supposedly, the road used to be that narrow, however, it has since been widened.
For sheer terror, the Bolivian road still wins, but 10 hours of hellish driving (Halsema Hwy) makes one wonder if there are really places roads just aren't meant to be...
List is great! Bolivian road is mad!! But there are 2 roads that can compete- Sani Pass, South Africa/Lesotho, and the the roads in Northern Pakistan in the Pashtun region (Afganistan/Pakistan). While in Lesthoto for only 1 day, 2 cars went off, 4 peeps died. CRAZY SH$%!!!!!!! There was no help!
que arquitectura mas espectacular. la verdad es que me sorprende ver como avanza la tecnologia y la imaginacion de hombre. Inspirarse en un Ovni para construir un edificio es algo digno de tener en cuenta a la hora de analizar los gustos... como dicen acá en Chile..."En gustos no hay nada escrito" a mi en especial me gustó el nuevo edificio, espero algún dia estar allí para verlo con mis propios ojos. saludos...
