I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. UNTC_190826_05.JPG: Trusteeship Council Chamber Finn Juhl was just thirty-eight years old when he was commissioned to design the Council Chamber, which stands today as one of his major works. The chamber was designed to form a comprehensive whole. This means that Finn Juhl designed everything in it, from the colorful ceiling light-fittings and the curtains to the wall paneling, carpeting, lamps and chairs. In the delegates' portion the walls are lined with ash wood designed to act as acoustic baffles. The multicolored striped carpet was made in Denmark as were the curtains, railings doors and latticed ceiling which repeats the fine woods and the light, clear colors used. A large wooden statue carved from the trunk of a teakwood tree also was donated by the Danish Government. Selected as part of a competition, the sculpture created by Henry Starcke shows a young woman dressed in a patterned robe with arms upraised towards a large blue bird with outstretched wings. It was carved especially for the Trusteeship Council Chamber.
2. UNTC_190826_10.JPG: Mankind and Hope A large wooden statue was also donated by the Danish Government. The sculpture, which is more than 10 feet tall, was installed in 1953, and among the earliest Gifts to the U.N. Created by Henry Starcke of Copenhagen it shows a young woman dressed in a patterned robe with arms upraised towards a large blue bird with out-streched wings. Carved from the trunk of a teakwood tree, the woman with her arms outstretched letting the bird fly free suggests "unlimited flight upwards to greater heights". In the context of the Trusteeship Council, it can be seen to symbolize the colonies achieving independence.
