1956 MASERATI 450S PROTOTYPE BY FANTUZZI.

 


American financier and banker J.P. Morgan being held back after threatening a photographer with his walking stick. New York, 1910.

 


The title of this picture was “A young boy who had just stolen his fathers car and then crashed it, takes one final puff of his cigarette before facing the consequences” (1974)

Thursday 1911

 


Now you've got to make it all the way down.

 


Looks like it's smiling

 


As if big volcanic eruptions in Iceland and La Palma Island aren't enough!

 Now, overnight we have a new eruption within Halemaʻumaʻu crater at Kīlauea’s  summit on the big island of Hawaii.



Hot lava is even bubbling out of fissures in the crater wall.


Plus, it's fun to try to pronounce "Halem'uma'u" like a real Hawaiian.

It's something like "Ha -lay Maw-OO Maw-OO...," with extreme exaggeration of the spaces between the syllables.  Practice by turning to someone who isn't expecting anything and announce, "there's a new volcanic eruption occurring now in the Ha-lay Mah-OO Mah-OO caldera," and see what happens.

The guy doing the civil defense warning announcement pronounces "Halem'uma'u" correctly, like a proper Hawaiian should.
