Stormwater Management in Japan (16 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       4 Jun 2009       16170
What you’re going to see is not a computer graphics but a real place.
It is the Metropolitan Area Outer Discharge Channel, constructed to avoid flooding on typhoon season. Its construction started in 1992.
The size is impressive: The maximum height - 25.4 m, maximum width - 78 meters. By the way, this place is open for tourists. I can imagine them circling there with open mouths ;)

Who would have thought that these small cars are strong.
After the accident, the Hyundai was waiting for the tow truck because its wheel was blocked because of the impact. And the Beetle remained almost intact.

The Eastern Screech Owl mustn’t be disturbed for nothing, it knows how to defend itself.
Otherwise, it is a very nice bird, cute, especially on the 3rd picture )

It is surprising that in a country devastated by years of war such competitions are held.

To tin products is quite handy; they can be kept for a long time and are easily transported.
But their contents, which can often be seen on can labels may be very strange ;)

How a spider divides into two (8 photos + 1 video)

You just need to wait until it molts )
Obviously, physically there is only one spider, but its molted “skin” very resembles a real spider.
The whole process takes about 6 hours. It is not very pleasant to see, but it’s interesting.
