And woman, lovely woman!

The Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower

no comments yet - be the first to have your say!

I loved - but those I loved are gone.
Had friends - my early friends are fled.
How cheerless feels the heart alone.

When all its former hopes are dead
You will drive past the Red Fort for a photograph opportunity.

Scenes that would not seem out of place in a news report
of the chaos in some third world country.

The final chapter in traditional liquid-fueled rockets has yet to be written.
W3C liability, trademark, document use and software licensing rules apply.

Tsunamis are fairly common in Japan
and many thousands of Japanese have been killed by them in recent centuries.

to detect particles

Then, go down to Old Delhi to visit the Jama Masjid
and the Raj Ghat where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated.
Filled with good intentions, and 'I'm Ohhh Sooooo Clever' thinking.

Elsewhere in Africa and in Japan,
salt was thought to ward off evil spirits;
in Haiti it was thought to bring zombies back to life.

bright enough to be seen even from urban-lit cities.
One zap could stun a human.
