New York City

Uma das cidades mais fotografadas do mundo, Nova Iorque não deixa de surpreender nunca. Nessa imagem, o majestoso Central Park parece invadido pelo Metropolitan Museum. Porém, o que a torna especial para mim é a dimensão da longa extensão da Park Avenue e o verde dos canteiros que separam as duas pistas.

Chernobyl new shelter

The New Safe Confinement (NSC or New Shelter) is a structure built to confine the remains of the number 4 reactor unit at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, in Ukraine, which was destroyed during the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The structure also encloses the temporary Shelter Structure (sarcophagus) that was built around the reactor immediately after the disaster. The New Safe Confinement is designed to prevent the release of radioactive contaminants from exiting the shelter, protect the reactor from external influence, facilitate the disassembly and decommissioning of the reactor, and prevent water intrusion. The New Safe Confinement is a megaproject that is part of the Shelter Implementation Plan and supported by the Chernobyl Shelter Fund. It was designed with the primary goal of confining the radioactive remains of reactor 4 for the next 100 years. #chernobyl #kyivoblast #kyiv #oblast #ukraine #new #safe #confinement #newshelter #structure #reactor #nuclear #power #plant #disaster #sarcophagus #radioactive #protect #megaproject #picoftheday #photooftheday #instagood #instadaily #igers #travel #viewfromabove #birdseyeview #satellite #satelliteimagery #vantagepoint

Dia D - Omaha, Normandia, França

Omaha Beach was one of five key targets in the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, during World War II. Today marks the 75th anniversary of this operation — now known as “D-Day" — which began the liberation of Nazi-occupied France. With its high cliffs, the 5-mile (8 km) stretch of Omaha Beach had heavier casualties than any of the other four targets -- Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword. /// Created by @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @maxartechnologies
