Japanese daisugi technique for growing cedar wood, adapted from bonsai methods. Rather than cut down the tree, the tree is trimmed so that a new trunk grows from the cut. This technique dates from the 15th century.

United States/Canada border (Point Roberts, USA and Tsawwassen, British Ontario, Canada). I might have broken Canadian Immigration law when I was working in Tsawassen by taking this picture. I had re-entered the US at the border check point but when taking the picture I might have put the edge of my left shoe on Canadian soil.

Incredibly brave soldiers of the British, Canadian and American armies who landed on those beaches, and dropped by parachute on French soil.
Not to take away anything at all from those men, but about six weeks later, halfway around the world the U.S. Army and Marine Corps landed on the Japanese-held islands of the Marianas. Demonstrating the incredible industrial and military strength of the Allies. The summer of 1944 was quite a turning point in world history.

The wife and I recently returned from a 2 week trip through Europe, and one of our stops was in Venice. I took these with my iPhone, so not quite professional but the lighting was very cool.

I will be flat out stunned if anyone can guess:
1. What is this (specifically)? 2. Where was the picture taken? Even the extraordinary photo sleuthing powers of Lady Jane may get stumped on this one, however there is a clue in the picture..... (Answer to follow shortly) |

It's obvious a part of an animatronic character. (The clue) If made in Germany, it could be from Hüttinger Animatronics GmbH & Co. located near Munich. Because of the teeth, it may ne a "fright prop". I'll guess the exact location as the Munich Science and Technology museum.

So the picture was taken in Munich...at the Disney 100 Exhibit that just opened in April. The animatronic is from an animated pirate in the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride in DisneyLand. I was surprised at the number of what looks to be coaxial cables needed to control just the face...and that is just for one pirate. |
