In almost 30 years in the power industry, I've been blessed to see/do/experience the best and worst of the natural and man-made much this world has to offer - working on answers to various power issues:
- The Great Pyramids
- Panmunjeom
- The Great Wall
- Cheju
- Brimstone Hill
- The Taj Mahal
- Monte Cervino
- The ice sculptures in Harbin
- The Duomo and The Last Supper
- Island dining in the Straits of Malacca
- Elephanta Island
- Tiananmen Square
- Hjelle (Hell) Norway
- Manequin pis
- Uxmal
- The Bridge of Sighs
- British Club in Bahrain
- Victoria Peak
- Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
- Buckingham Palace
- Wat Phra Kaew
- Paris Air Show
- Mount Agung
- Citadelle Henri Christophe
- The Acropolis
- Golkanda Fort
- Life behind the Iron Curtain in Praha, Plzen, Bucharest, Beograd
- and many others that don't immediately come to mind....
Wonderful, warm and friendly people despite the poverty, suffering, starvation, oppression & death. Of course, you can't get to these places without seeing many more that get no attention or notoriety - where the real people live and work.
It has been amazing to see the world's then-biggest power plant in one country one day and see near-century old electrical works in another country the next day. However, nothing stirs more awe and wonder than nature and all of the facets of its remarkable simplicity and complexity.
