This is the home of the three-time Academy Award-winning New Zealand born director Peter Jackson. Known as a producer and writer, best known for The Lord of the Rings trilogy adapted from the novels by J. R. R. Tolkien. He is also known for his 2005 remake of King Kong.
Prior to his breakout success with The Lord of the Rings, Jackson created a few films without much critical acclaim. It wasn’t until he won the opportunity to create the films that Jackson received his critical acclaim Academy Awards, and began to see a great deal of public attention. He would go on to remake King Kong, create The Lovely Bones, and Mortal Engines, but would not see the same level of success as with the Lord of The Rings. Even his trilogy The Hobbit would struggle to receive the same level of praise and attention. His films are known for their attention to detail and Jacksons general playfulness and macabre sense of humor.
Jackson is married to Fran Walsh a kiwi lyricist, film producer, and screenwriter. Walsh is an accomplished professional as well, having earned seven Oscar nominations herself. Together they have two children.
This massive complex is the playground of Jackson’s dream. Complete with underground tunnels, castle ruins, and a liveable hobbit hole hidden behind a secret door. Pull the right book in Sir Peter Jackson's house and the bookcase will open to recreation of Bag End - the home of Middle Earth hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. Jackson bought this two-story, 1930s mansion, just out of Masterton, and has done extensive renovations. The estate is far from finished as the director is reported to have plans to eventually house his collection of World War I warplanes on the site. Speculations on an airport and a railroad are also rumored/
The critically acclaimed director has secured a $500 Million dollar net worth. He earned his half a billion dollar fortune off the success of his Lord of the Rings franchise, which earned over 6 billion together.

Steve McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an Academy Award-nominated American movie actor, nicknamed "The King of Cool". His "anti-hero" persona, which he developed at the height of the Vietnam counterculture, made him one of the top box-office draws of the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen was combative with directors and producers; regardless, he was able to command large salaries and was in high demand.
McQueen purchased this estate in 1963 and sold it to conductor Zubin Mehta in 1974. The house was built in 1944 by architect Cliff May. It is located on a gated street called Oakmont Drive in the Brentwood neighbourhood.

Dune Movement From Hurricane Katrina

By: Trooper111.
Hurricane Ivan hit Navarre Beach dead-on, and it still looks bad — second floors missing from stilt houses, smashed cars half-buried in sand dunes, stop signs twisted by wind, and the island's only hotel, the Holiday Inn, still closed and not expected to open for another year or more. Gulf Island National Seashore, which covers 2 miles of beach on the east end of the island, is still closed. But life goes on, and on a recent weekday the beach had 50 or so sunbathers and the parking lot had dozens of cars and RVs. Coco Dries restaurant and Sailors Grill and Bakery are open but customers are mostly construction workers.

Arc de triomphe d'Orange
The Triumphal Arch of Orange (Arc de triomphe d'Orange) is a triumphal arch located in the town of Orange, southeast France. It is situated 600 meters north from the town center by route N7. There is debate about when the arch was built, but current research favours a date during the reign of Augustus. It was built on the former via Agrippa to honor the veterans of the Gallic Wars and Legio II Augusta. It was later reconstructed by emperor Tiberius to celebrate the victories of Germanicus over the German tribes in Rhineland. The arch contains an inscription dedicated to emperor Tiberius in 27 AD. It is decorated with various reliefs of military themes, including naval battles, spoils of war and Romans battling Germanics and Gauls. A Roman foot soldier carrying the shield of Legio II Augusta is seen on the north front battle relief.
The entire structure measures 19.57 meters long by 8.40 meters wide, standing to a height of 19.21 meters.
