Random Picture Thread

Random pictures I took a few hours ago with Saturday evening on the beach in China next to my beach front apartment.

 

After I took the random pictures of the beach I found that they have made a new road for push bikes and walking for about 1 mile to the next bay that had many rest rooms and statues I took pictures of..

 

The road winds around the water front to another bay that only a few years ago was a deserted beach and now empty apartment waiting for the future tenants, also a small caravan park at the start of road that rents out odd shape caravans on the beach front,
Many types of push bikes for hire to travel on this beautiful water front pathway..
The picture I took of the gate is the end of bicycle road way.

 

That's an extremists definition of conformity to which I don't confirm . . .

From your posts on these forums I know you are a man who is not faithful to the principles he proclaims himself . . .

Here for example you had the chance to choose for an electric scooter and recharge it with clean produced electricity such as gained from sun and/or wind energy . . :idea:

But in despite of the many environmental concern talks you posted on these forums you decided to abnegate your self proclaimed principles and choose for the pollutant solution of a combustion engine because it's the cheapest and easiest way for yourself to avoid eventual clean recharge problems at present.

With those relaxed rules and regulations in China, and being a self proclaimed inventor with experience in foldable trailers, you could have build a trailer with foldable solar panels large enough to cover the energy needs of your use of the scooter. And drive it folded to a size corresponding to the local rules and regulations for a bit of reload while driving. And park it unfolded directed at the sunlight for max reload capacity . . :idea:

Some examples of Electric Scooters. (Note: this is a 2008 link, so search yourself for more up to date techniques, this link is only to provide the source of the below pictures.)

P.S. - There even could be some foldable solar panels mounted overhead on the scooter . . . :idea:

 

Dry aged bone in ribeye tomahawk steaks. I splurged and treated my wife to one for her birthday. I'm not a big meat eater but damn, they are good. And the rottweiler was more than happy to dispose of the bones.

 

Myark's proselytizing suggests only nonconformists who nonconform like him actually count. And a moderated forum seems like an odd place for a nonconformist to spend so much time seeking acceptance.

Annual traffic deaths per 100,000 vehicles - China, 133; New Zealand, 10.3; Australia, 7.6. The price of nonconformism? Traffic police and enforcement are indicative of the value a modern society places on human life. China has some catching up to do, and I hope they can do it soon. Killing 60,000 pedestrian children in one year (WHO stat) is the price for not having an effective traffic police. If you equate fixing this with having to suffer under an oppressive police state, you're not as imaginative as you think you are. Nor are you quite as vegan.

 

It seems recent posts in this thread are starting to cause more annoyance than enjoyment -- some of what is shared is very interesting to see, but other members on the boat design forum who come to discuss boat design and boatbuilding don't want to be told how to live their lives, especially if it becomes repetitive. So maybe that can be directed to some other venue. This site is primarily a boat-related site and should be a place that everyone can enjoy, so posts shouldn't be strong irritants or insults towards others or their way of life. Thanks for your understanding.

 

Angelique states "self proclaimed inventor"


A book called kiwi ingenuity where one of my ideas is displayed on the front cover of book and is the main feature center spread coverage, also another book called number 8 wire I are displayed which I refused to let hem have the article about my inventions unless I did the story which they excepted.
Won many inventions awards so may be that is a bit more than self proclaimed.
Its interesting

 

Myark, the forum moderator amongst others has asked you to back off so please have the social grace to realise the rest of the forum contributors do not enjoy nor want your domination of what was an enjoyable thread. Take your inventions to an inventers forum, take your Chinese village pictures to a China tourism forum and stop imposing yourself on our community. The exact same message as the moderator but in different words hoping you'll understand second time round.

 

Myark thanks for the photos.

As this is a boating forum can you please post more photos of Chinese Girls.

Well, boats are generally referred to as "She." There is a connection, right.

As for statistics Phil. When you consider, as Angelique has pointed out in her photos, when you have 50 people on one bike (give or take a few) it doesn't take long to clock up 133. :?:

The universe is strange. This arrived in the mail today. Instant Karma in a format I can grasp, or automated stupidity? Either way, I have been reimbursed.

 

Hi Poida
The women in the picture just happened to walk past as I was taking a picture of the boat behind her and quickly did a snap shot, a second after the picture was taken she burst out in a pleasant laughter.
I do not normally take pictures of women and that one was by chance, how ever stunning women often take pictures of me that like it when we get very close in the picture like lovers.
Beautiful women when traveling in the bus will other me their seat and I embarrassingly refuse, such as the other day two young women would not take no for an answer and sat on each other laps so I could sit next to them.
The women in the picture you will notice a stare she gives me which I get that same look from mainly young women on most days who look direct in my eyes when we walk past each other, when I lift my eye brow to show I am not a snob they light up with happiness and giggle.
That's one of the many reasons I love China.

With motor bikes here, its completely normal with 4 on a taxi bike going through red lights so yes you are right as it would not take long to clock up deaths as I was following a scooter yesterday and a bus run over the scooter and driver and I do not think a helmet would of done much or bike registration as he was in bits all over the road with his scooter.
The traffic in the City region would be absolutely impossible to try and police like AU or NZ and if they did it would cost billions and billions of dollars and amusingly no road rage with people driving on the wrong side of road to take short cuts every where, when a car drives around a corner they beep their horn and when a motor bike goes past they beep their horn so its really really noisy and the busses roar along taking no prisoners if you get in their way.
Its hard to explain but some how traffic finds its self control and flow.

They do have on busy intersection red light pedestrian crossings young police women with whistles who I notice may be selected for their model looks .

 

I was going to post a random picture but I have forgotten how to do it. When I click on "Insert an Image" it wants the URL of my image which it doesn't have because it is my "Picture Folder"

Myark I have no idea what sex Angelique is, I just thought if Angelique was a male he would call himself Bill or Jack.

Poida is a rough Aussie pronunciation of Peter, or Pete to my friends. Nobody ever calls me Pete.

Anyway if anybody male or female can help me upload a random picture, I would be grateful.

No, it's tedious.
