Wednesday Word Search – Vat

Welcome to another Wednesday Word Search where I pick a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

Awhile back I searched for ‘hat’ and ‘bat’ so started a theme of ‘?at’ words. Last time I searched for ‘uat’ so will continue on.

The word for tonight is: vat

Vat should be interesting. The string ‘vat’ is in some interesting words.

What images will I find?

sabbath elevator sign, Hotel elevator, israel elevatorWith the first image we have instructions for the use of a Shabbat Elevator in Israel.

Zeiss Innovation Center, dublin, california, construction, new building, zeissFor the next image here is a picture of the new Zeiss Innovation Center in Dublin, California.

Israel National Trail, Google Maps, Virtual Hike, Lachish, IsraelHere we have a view of the excavations at Tel Lachish. I have a lot of memories working under these sun shades.

Elevator Lobby, Hotel, Shanghai, Chinese HotelHere is an elevator lobby at a hotel I stayed at in Shanghai.

Elevator Sign, Up and Down, Taiwan, Elevator rulesFinally we have a picture of another interesting elevator sign that I found in Taipei.

These images show that ‘vat’ is found in some interesting words. Elevator gave me the most images to choose from.

Which is your favorite ‘vat’ picture?

What should I search for next? I will probably continue with the next ?at word.   I took a quick look and there are enough images for ‘wat’ to choose from.

Digging in the Oak Island Swamp

Season 9 of The Curse of Oak Island is well underway. The episode tonight showed them digging again in the swamp.Curse of Oak Island, History Channel, Did they find anything?They brought in a long reach excavator that allows them to dig deeper into the swamp. Tonight they found a large tree stump that may point to the swamp being artificially made.

They also found several pieces of wood that have some interesting marks on them that may show evidence of them being worked with tools.

oak Island, Money Pit, Mahone BayThey also showed a bit more from the drilling survey in the Money Pit area. It looks like they may have found a shaft. Is it the original Money Pit shaft, or perhaps another know shaft that may point to the location of the original shaft?

Curse of Oak Island, Mahone Bay, Nova ScotiaSome more metal detecting was done in the area where they believe the hatch on the old French map is located. They found an old adze that is most likely from the 1600’s. The question is what was it doing at this location on Oak Island.
