"MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH"

This is the inscription on the short pole pegged into the ground in front of the peace palace.

The Peace Palace ("Vredespaleis" in Dutch), situated in The Hague, Netherlands, is often called the seat of international law because it houses the International Court of Justice (which is the principal judicial body of the United Nations), the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Hague Academy of International Law, and the extensive Peace Palace Library.

This was just round the corner from the

"Ambassador" hotel where I was staying.

The Airbus A380 again in all its majesty
Dubai Airshow November 2007

The B1 Lancer bomber of the US Airforce displayed at the Airshow in Dubai

The Airbus A380.
This plane attracted the most attention at the airshow.
This is a majestic machine, at least I though saw when I first laid eyes on it.
Its Huge but the grace with which it cuts through the air is so pleasing to the eyes.
Gentle Giant really!!!
Prnce Waleed of Saudi Arabia was present at the airshow and he placed an order for the A380 to be used as his personal jet.

US Stealth Bomber . What a graceful plane when it is in the air.
But deadly when used in war.
It really is a Wolf in sheeps clothing.
