  2. About twenty to twelve, ancient city, modern life - impressive pictures, as it looks difficult to land.
    Please have you all a good Friday.

  5. I hope they had a safe landing! I think it would be exciting to ride in a helicopter like that someday!

  6. Not often you get to see helicopters at that angle. Good shots.
    I guess in case of a big emergency, God forbid, you can never have too many helipads.

  11. They probably don't want people to die before the new one is built. I wonder what they'll use the old one for. Two hospitals, maybe?

  12. Two hospitals sounds good if the economy can take it. Nice photo of the helicopter.
