also:

I was looking around for some abandoned mines for inspiration and I found this safety poster.

"While on a nature walk you notice an old mining site that contains numerous old boxes marked 'EXPLOSIVES.'
"What should you do?"

And all I could think of was how Team Fortress could parody this.

"While on your morning Sunday stroll you notice strange red stickies on the ground nearby a Scotsman. What should you do?"

Some Vietnamese architecture from Ho Chi Minh City, I found these types of buildings common in the city, but the shape makes them very interesting to look at.

The same type of housing can be seen on the left side, but the coloring makes it cool looking.

Took both of these pics on my trip in Vietnam leaving the city by bus from the airport.

Vietnam was a French colony until the 50s, and you can still see that influence on the architecture.

Also, on the coffee, which is why you get these really elegant coffees served to you if you eat at a pho place.

Three shots of the National Mining Museum of Scotland. Which I visited recently, it's a very interesting place and the tour guide I had actually worked there when it was functional, so he was really great at taking us round it. Its red brick which is unlike quite a lot of the buildings around there which are made of red or yellow sandstone.

this is probably from my city but I'm not sure who or when took it, though I suspect where
