Snow canyons in Japan

Yesterday I read a really interesting article  and it shows us the comparison between the condition of New York and Honsu Island in this snowy time. The condition in New York is sure bad, but compared to Honsu, wow I am shocked. Here are the pictures of snow in Honsu Island in the article and just like the article said it is a real snow and not photoshopped.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, linking Toyama and Nagano Prefecture, is a world class sightseeing roadway soaring through Mt. Tateyama heights that along with Mt. Fuji and Mt. Hakusan is one of Japan's three most beloved mountains. Snow is so abundant the route closes during winter to re-open in mid-April when snowplows blast through creating 'Yuki-no Otani' (snow canyon), an extraordinary snow corridor up to 20-meters-high which is a spectacular sight for travelers until the end of May. The 3,000 meters high mountain range can be traveled via bus with cable cars and ropeways offering more options for visitors to enjoy grandiose views along with splendid summer alpine flora and an artist's palette of multi-colored foliage in the fall. Witnessing the drainage of Kurobe Dam, Japan's most lofty at 186 meters high, is a must do excursion between June 26 and October 15.

Amazing movable city on rails

 

Imagine a city in motion, where not a single building is anchored to the ground, with hotels, event halls and other structures all on rails and movable at will. That’s the vision behind ‘A Rolling Master Plan‘, a concept for the Norwegian city of Andalsnes by Swedish architects Jägnefält Milton. Both existing and new railway systems would be used to reconfigure the town for seasonal changes and special events.

The concept, which won third place in a competition to design a new masterplan for the city, is based upon small blocky buildings including a rolling hotel, public bath and concert hall. Because the town is full of tourists in the summer but becomes very cold and dreary in the winter, such a scheme would allow the entire town to take full advantage of warm weather by spreading out.

In the winter, the collection of buildings would be pulled into the the town center for locals to enjoy. Moving the structures and reorganizing how they’re laid out gives tourists a new town to come back to every year. Each of the portable structures is kept on a trailer at all times, making transport quick and fairly simple.

New models the Suzuki motorbike

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is one of Suzuki's leading and more popular models.  Two of the reasons for this are because this machine has loads of torque and a very powerful engine.  This means that the bike will be able to accelerate quickly off the line.  A combination of simple on board functions and a light weight body makes this motorbike very easy to handle and maneuver around corners.   The Suzuki GSX-R1000 has a larger 4.8 gallon fuel tank which allows you to hold more fuel for increased ride time and less stops for refueling.

The GSX-R1000 brand new is sold for around $11,000 which is very reasonable considering the quality of motorbike you are getting.  There are a number of color combinations available including blue and white, red and black, and silver and gray.  This bike can be purchased at just about any Suzuki dealer or where used bikes are sold which there are many different possibilities.  The GSX-R1000 is sold with a 1 year unlimited warranty when the bike is sold brand new.  This bike, new or used, is definitely well worth the cost.

Lindsay Hayward the tallest women in the USA

This 23-year-old blonde Lindsay Hayward  is one of the tallest women in the USA and in the world. Lindsay Hayward is 6’9″ tall. Her weight is 240 pounds. She can easily spin a man over her head before throwing him across the room. Lindsay’s fans know her as professional wrestler, Isis who can leg press an astonishing 50st.

At the age of 9, Lindsay was 6ft tall, and by 13 years old she had shot to 6ft 9ins, her today’s height. Still, despite her attractive looks and 38G bra size, Lindsay has so far been unlucky in love.
