I saw something like that many years ago in my press photographer days. The fire department made sure to smash both windows to get the hose through, and used an old leaking hose to add several inches of water to the car interior. Then when the fire was out they had it towed it to an impound yard and wrote the guy a large ticket. He was not happy, but I bet he never parked in front of a fire hydrant again in a no parking zone.

Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. It stands on Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age, although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633. From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half

A Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon in the latest HAVE GLASS V coating.
Note how the nose of the aircraft, which is the radome that contains the radar, is left unpainted and is in the original grey it comes in. In a standard F-16 that doesn't have the HAVE GLASS V coating applied, the colour of the nose actually matches the scheme of the rest of the fuselage.
So, why did they make the aircraft more conspicuous unless the coating offers some advantage that outweighed it's drawbacks?

I was in Scotland (Aberdeen) once about 20 years ago for work. I didn't really do any sightseeing other than walking around Aberdeen. I also got lucky that it almost never rained while I was there. I thought it was great and would love to go back to Scotland to explore. Of course, I'd also want to see England and Ireland, and while they are small countries, I'm sure you could easily spend weeks in all of them. In some ways it's a shame that my dad was never stationed in Edzell Scotland, although I wouldn't want to change the two tours in Japan.

Those longbows look like their handles are not in centered.

They aren't. Japanese long bows have the grip offset. I think, IIRC, it's about 1/3 of the way up, but I'm sure there's a more exact measurement. And I think those bows are only for "kyūdō."

When you shoot a bow, there's a vibration. Again, IIRC, the spot where the grip is on a kyūdō bow is at a neutral spot in the vibration waves in the bow where, I think, they are supposed to be canceled out or something like that.

If you enjoy history everywhere you look, room temp beer and some strange food preparation I strongly urge you to take some time in England. I've been there many times and never had a bad visit. As for Ireland I had never seen so many shades of green before. The villages were better than the city. The people laugh easily and were very welcoming if you are not an ugly American. That last bit is easy.

TWO STRIKE (1831-1915)
Two Strike, or Numpkahapa, was a Brulé Lakota chief born in the White River Valley in 1831 in the northeastern part of present-day Nebraska. He acquired the Lakota name of "Nomkahpa", meaning "Knocks out two" in a battle with the Utes, in which he knocked two Utes off their horses with a single blow from his war club. Two Strike fought in various battles against the United States Army during the Bozeman Trail Wars, allied with Chief Crow Dog and Chief Crazy Horse in the Powder River Country of Wyoming.
Two Strike and his band were present alongside bands of Southern Cheyennes at the Battle of Summit Springs, Colorado on July 11, 1869, when the 5th Cavalry and 50 Pawnee scouts led a surprise attack on their camp. Buffalo Bill Cody was present at the battle as a scout leader. Chief Tall Bull of the Southern Cheyennes along with 51 members of the Lakota-Cheyenne Combined Encampment were killed and 17 women and children were taken prisoner, the rest of the Lakota and Cheyenne managed to escape. The soldiers then burned all the tipis and their contents.
Chief Two Strike was one of the main leaders of the combined Oglala and Burnt forces who, along with more than 1,000 brave men, attacked a group of 350 Pawnees who had established their reserve in Nebraska to hunt buffalo. Over 70 Pawnees were killed in the battle that took place along a canyon now located in Hitchcock County, Nebraska. The canyon has since been renamed Massacre Canyon.
Two Strike died in 1915 on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota.

Of all the characters who graced the streets of Tombstone, Dr. George Goodfellow may have been the best and brightest. He was an expert on gunshot wounds, and on bulletproof fabrics. The doctor performed the first appendectomy in Arizona. He was considered very knowledgeable on rattlesnake and Gila monster bites (and the venom therein). Goodfellow studied and recorded the effects of earthquakes. And there are more than a few other credits on his vitae.

I can hear this in one of the Monty Python voices
"Bah, we didn't want that land anyway!"
"No!"
"No, definitely didn't want it."
"We'll take the high ground and let them keep that horrible land that we didn't want, the poor wretches."
"Yes, Yes!"
"Yes, that's a brilliant idea. Now lets go back to the safety of the outpost and have some lunch while we let the poor wretches have that horrible land."

They didn't want Ireland either.
