Back from Paradise.

 

Just a little shout out to My Little Sister, who is just back from Mauritius.  Hiya Sis.

Don't know if this slide is of Mauritius, but it could be.

Bonus - And it's my Brother-In-Law's birthday today.   Happy Birthday BiL.

Bonus 2 - 

No. Just No!

This might be the end of the world

 

Another non-descript slide from Box 147. Arid desert scenery, limited identifying information.

But, on a hunch, I started searching far n wide, and ...yup.

Armageddon / Megiddo. Where the battle at the end of the world will take place.

Allegedly.

Bonus - OH! YOU PRETTY THINGS: DAVID BOWIE PAPER DOLLS

Visiting The Ruins

 

"The ruins of what?" you may ask.

I don't know. But, my suspicion is that it may be Masada.

Bonus - Wearable Bean Bag Chair

Ideal for the Office

The Parapets

 

OK. So I THINK I see the parapets of a star-shaped fort, but I can't be certain, and would not like to guess which one.

Bonus - Knitting As Espionage

Friday Afternoon Musical Interlude

 

As usual, no information on this one, but I'm getting Austrian vibes from this one. Maybe Germany, maybe Switzerland, but ... somewhere there-ish.

Bonus - 

Luckily, they both read at the same speed.

Man ... Of Mystery

 

Every May Day Bank Holiday, he would return. His face permanently in shadow, to prevent identification.

No-one knew who he was (tho' it was rumoured that he had a brother called Kevin) but he wouold return to the Thetford Municipal Scout Hut (shown above) to guard their Spring Picnic.

And true to his word, there were no alligator attacks while he was on duty.

Bonus - My Name Is Potato.

The Monument

   

No info on this slide, but  it seems to be Israeli.

Individual plaques on the ...umm... steps, have a 10-1973 date, so probably Yom Kippur War - related.

Detail

Bonus - Obviously

 

Nice

Abstractly Yours...

 

On first glance at this slide, I was thinking "What The Flubblesticks?".

Cue much squinting, and turning the slide 90 degrees.

And then... "A-ha". Got it. Can't un-see it.

And now you have it but with the aide of it being right-way-up. (Or is it.... :-D )

Bonus - Every Problem is an Opportunity. (NSFK)

Bonus 2 - 

The "March of the Maidens" Cafeteria and Diner.

 

Celebrating the famed 1917 "Women's Uprising" in Costa Rica, this small diner specialises in the local delicacy Spam, Spam, Spam, Lobster and Chips.

Bonus - The Vatican has a Papal density of 4.54 Popes/Km^2. This is higher than any other country, and the highest in Vatical History.

Bonus 2 - the Vikings fed their wounded soldiers a strong onion soup to help gauge how deep a stomach wound was. After a few minutes, they would smell the wound and if they could smell the onion soup, they knew the wound was too deep and the soldier could not be saved
