We're Switching to TSU

We started off on Blogger many months ago, and we've been using other social media platforms to drive in traffic. Our goal was to generate income from Google AdSense. So far, we've only been using tsu to post links to our blogs. But tsu has generate far more revenue in a short time than AdSense has generated in a much longer time. Therefore, we are going to start moving all of our content over to tsu, posting all new content on tsu, and directing all other social media traffic to tsu. As of this moment, tsu is officially our new blogging platform. Please join us at www.tsu.co/realbloggerx.

Dangerous Tunnel Ahead

This tunnel passes through a mountain in Hualien County (花蓮縣), Republic of China (Taiwan)(中華民國). According to http://bit.ly/1Mk045l, this is the 7th most dangerous road in the world. It didn't feel dangerous while we were there, but the statistics indicate otherwise. We were on a frequently-stopping tour bus that allowed us to walk along this road for sightseeing and photography purposes.

Taiwanese Roof Art

This armed, dragon-riding warrior figure is just one small portion of the artwork atop this roof in Hualien, Taiwan. The rest of the roof was covered with similar projections, each with a different figure riding a different dragon. The other figures were in different poses, and their outfits and dragons varied greatly in color. Impressively, like this one projection featured here, all of the colors worked extremely well together. Furthermore, this rooftop was by no means unique. We saw many examples of this style of rooftop artistry.

Eye of the Tiger

Okay, so this photo isn't actually focused on the eye of a tiger; we were just trying to come up with a catchy title. In fact, the eyes aren't even clearly visible. We're not sure what was to the right that this tiger was looking at, but we're quite happy that it wasn't looking at us!

Bridge at Night

This bridge crosses a river through Daegu, South Korea. Although Daegu is one of the largest cities in Korea, something about the surrounding area really makes this bridge stand out at night. And as you can see from its structure, there is also an artistic feel to its design. As a result, you basically have a massive, well-lit, functional art piece at night, as well as a place from which to get a scenic view of the city during the daytime.

Face-to-"Face" with a Stingray

Okay, so this is through glass at an aquarium and not an underwater shot out in the wild, but this stingray did swim almost directly overhead and showed us what looks very much like a face.

Mount Olympus Lite

A mountainside, or, rather, an in-the-mountain-side road through Hualien County (花蓮縣), Republic of China (Taiwan)(中華民國). The pillars along the edge give this, we think, a Mount Olympus-like appearance, albeit admittedly less grandiose.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 20, 2015: This is the 7th most dangerous road in the world, according to: http://bit.ly/1Mk045l

Ancient Roman Aqueduct in Segovia, Spain

This is the 2-millenia-old (2,000 years) ancient Roman aqueduct in Plaza del Azoguejo, Segovia, Castile and Leon, Kingdom of Spain. If you go to the top of the hill on the right side of this photo, the aqueduct turns left and continues from its source. If you continue to the left of the photo, the aqueduct empties into the castle. For scale, note the 2 cars and several pedestrians along the road.

Afghan Puppy

Roxy was an Afghan puppy adopted by American troops serving in Afghanistan. No matter where troops deploy around the world, dogs somehow instill a small sense of being home. Although never mentioned alongside such things as eating hot food or receiving mail packages, they can boost morale just as much.

Port-au-Prince Presidential Palace

Photographed through the perimeter fence, this is the Presidential Palace in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, following the earthquake in January 2010. The second floor of the building collapsed down into the first floor of the building. If you turned around from this position, you would see a sprawling, makeshift tent city for just some of the many Haitians who became homeless following this tragedy.

Photographed from the Joint Security Area (JSA) within the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Panmunjom (판문점), Gyeonggi Province (경기도), Republic of Korea (대한민국), the top half of this photo is North Korea and the bottom half is South Korea.

Spanish Olympic Stadium

This is an entrance to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (formerly Barcelona Olympic Stadium) in Barcelona, Catalonia, Kingdom of Spain. The photographer was actually angry after this, because he was on a quickly-moving tour bus that didn't stop, or even slow down at all, and his immediate thought was that he had missed this shot. It wasn't until he reviewed the photo that he was pleased with its seemingly perfect timing.
