Wordless Wednesday

 Following on from last week, we visited  a home near the church at Poorvoo.

The lady who lived here kept one room as it used to be for visitors to see how they used to live. The bunk beds were built into the wall to save space.

She then invited us to walk around the grounds.

This car is her husband's pride and joy. She told us that back in the 50s - 60s he was a successful racing driver and won many trophies.

We were very surprised to see this gun in the field! She said it is another restoration project!

Wordless Wednesday

I had mentioned to someone the other day that we had visited a place near Helsinki and have since realised I got the name wrong. That is what happens when you don't keep notes of where you have visited. It gave me the idea to use it for my Wordless Wednesday.

Wordless Wednesday - Kilauea volcano Hawaii.

 

This is a vent with hot air escaping from the volcano. I can't remember how hot our guide said it was but many many times higher than boiling point. He said under no condition put hands or feet beyond the bars. Of course someone had to try it and it peeled the skin right off his hand. His guide rushed him off to hospital but I don't know what happened because he wasn't from our group.

Wordless Wednesday - Day and Night.

 The Aloha Tower is a retired lighthouse that is considered one of the landmarks of the state of Hawaii in the United States. Opened on September 11, 1926, at a then astronomical cost of $160,000, the Aloha Tower is located at Pier 9 of Honolulu Harbor.
