Re: Curious things that I like

El Poder Brutal, The brutal power, also called the devil’s face, is a sculpture, well known in Ecuador, carved in sheer rock covered with cement, on the side of a mountain beside a road. Represents Satan and is located on the road Alóag – Santo Domingo 5 km from the town of Tandapi, so it is also often called The Devil Tandapi. It is especially noted for its size and known as the route travels around Earth Guayaquil-Quito and vice versa.
The figure, which is 30 meters above ground, is 20 meters high and stands on top of a hill that overlooks the curve of the road. The face has two horns that rise above the forehead, pointed nose, mouth, half open, reveals two tusks. At the base is written the sentence in capital letters, “The brutal power.”

Re: Curious things that I like

Hey guys, Aldenham bus works Elstree N London
All London buses passed through these works every 5 years
for full engine and body check and to get reclassified to carry
passengers body and chassis were separated and it was not unusual
for a bus to leave the works with a different body identification was
made by chassis number not fleet number!! a new coat of paint
was also added at the same time! Cheers guysSmileSmile
