"Shit!" Van grunted as his head collided into the dashboard of his ship once again. The Phoenician had been hit from behind as Van Esos weaved through the surface canyons of the planet Ilum. He had been exploring new smuggling routes in the outer system, when he was inexplicably drawn to Ilum and, upon arriving on the surface, he stumbled upon an unmarked Imperial outpost. Being a resourceful man, Van knew that this information would be valuable to the right people, specifically the rebel alliance.
But the more he knew, the more valuable the intel would be, and Van could never pass up a big score. Not only could he make a few thousand credits, he could sic it to those Imperial dogs as well.
As it turned out, the outpost was heavily fortified, and the imperials didn't take kindly to trespassers. From what he could tell, it appeared to be a standard research outpost. However, upon further inspection, Van immediately recognised it as a repurposed Separatist testing facility. Van spent many years infiltrating testing facilities much like this during the Clone Wars. One of his most pivotal operations happened at this exact base on Ilum, nearly half a decade previous....
SCREEECH!
A loud screeching sound brought Van back to the present as his ship barely managed to squeeze through the small crevices of the canyon. A few second later he heard a defending explosion, signifying that he had lost at least one of the tie fighters trailing his escape. He didn't dare try to rise to the surface, as he already knew that staying low confused the Imperial's scanners. Once he got a safe enough distance away, he would pull out and make his jump to hyper speed.
But he felt strange leaving the planet, like there was something important awaiting him still on the snowy surface of Ilum....
This DC-3 sits abandoned in a field in Kansas.
he Douglas DC-3 is an American fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner, the speed and range of which revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Its lasting impact on the airline industry and World War II makes it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. The major military version was designated the C-47 Skytrain, of which more than 10,000 were produced. Many DC-3s and converted C-47s are still used in all parts of the world. (Source: Wikipedia).
1st day back at work after the new year break. Managed to squeeze a run in after work and then grabbed this outside the front door before dinner. The clouds were moving at a rate of knotts which helped!

Halo 3 warthog, my favorite 'Hog. Features fully rotating turret, seating for two in the cabin, an engine under the hood plus rubber band suspension. No steering (unlike on my halo 4 hog) as it makes it irritating to roll around and play with.
If there is enough interest, I could sell a limited run kit as the build is incredibly strong and sitting at about 270 pieces.

Goderich and Exeter attempts to plow the line out of Stratford. They blew past MP 3 just fine but soon came to a grinding halt and called it a day. The snow overwhelmed the traction motors of the two EMDs pushing the plow through the Ontario countryside.

The southern most of 3 tunnels cuts through Archean (Precambrian) age metamorphic and igneous rocks in Wind River Canyon between Shoshoni and Thermopolis, Wyoming, These rocks form the core of theOwl Creek Mountains which are dissected by the canyon. Most of the Precambrian rocks started out as sediments and basalts deposited in a trough on the margins of the Wyoming Craton during the Archean, about 2.9 bya. Metamorphism of these rocks occurred around 2.7 bya which resulted in black schists and amphibolites that was later intruded by white to pinkish gray quartz monzonite (Granite). A dike of the granite intrusive can be see on the opposite canyon wall in this photo. These rocks, some of the oldest in Wyoming, represent a time when Wyoming was a separate microcontinent (the Wyoming Craton) which existed 500 million years before the North American Continent formed.
Since I grew up north of Wind River Canyon in the Bighorn Basin, I number the 3 tunnels from north to south. Using that methodology the southernmost tunnel, pictured here, is #3. In this picture, the # 2 tunnels is visible through #3. The Tunnels were dug when the road was first built through the Canyon in 1925. Before that time wagons then cars had to go over the top of the Owl Creek Mountains. The river is to the right of the tunnel.
This location was the sight of the original Boysen Dam. Built in 1908 by a Dutch immigrant, Asmus Boysen, the dam supplied water and power to his copper and gold mines up on nearby Copper Mountain. Boysen was wealthy, a miner, prospector, businessman, entrepreneur, and most of all a visionary ( some say dreamer). But in this case things didn’t go as Boysen planned. The railroad planned to pass through the canyon by the dam, The rising water behind the small dam threatened to flood their tracks. In 1908 as the dam was completed, the railroad filed suit in court that same year. In 1911 the CB&O railroad was built through the canyon. In that same year the power plant started providing electricity to Boysen’s mines as well as the towns of Shoshoni and Riverton to the south. But that didn’t last very long. in 1915, The Wyoming Supreme Court ruled that the dam’s super structure had to be removed. That made the dam smaller and power generation much less profitable. Then in 1923 a major flood filled the plant with silt and all operations ceased. Mining declined, law suits continued, and finally Mr. Boysen lost his fortune in the venture. He died in 1938. Following all the legal wrangling the dam was finally removed in 1948 as part of a new dam project. In the 40s a new dam was built upstream 2 miles. Authorized in 1944, construction started in 1947, water storage started in 1951, power generation in 1952 and the Federal Government declared the project completed in 1953. The new Dam and Reservoir was named Boysen in honor of the dreamer who built the first dam in the Canyon. The silty bottom of the reservoir formed by Mr. Boysen’s dam is now populated with cottonwood trees and provides area for two of the campgrounds in Boysen State Park
For years The Dam Bar and Cafe by the south end of tunnel #3 just to the left of the photo. It was torn down before I can remember about the time the new dam was finished. For even a longer period, a swinging bridge crossed the river at the old dam site. My Dad would stop there and let us kids cross the rickety old bridge . It too is gone and only childhood memories remain…

*In the end it takes six men to get Brown into the van. He throws a few smoke pellets in an attempt to escape, but their masks ensure its not the problem he had hoped it would be. He's still screaming as he's fastened in*
Artie- You know what my friends will do to get me back! You're all dead, you hear? Dead! How's that for a fucking clue!
Gordon- Honestly, he took that better than I expected.
Batman- He was stalling. Waiting for the Society to extract him.
Gordon- So you really think he didn't have a clue who did it?
Batman- No. He told me it was Joker.
Gordon- The Iceberg shooting? Yeah, he was always a damn good sniper... Heh. For all his posturing, Brown's safer with the feds. Word got out he was spying on Sionis, the Arkham gangs would rip him apart. Maybe that "Aaron Black" persona will find some use yet.
*Jim spits his gum into its wrapper, and sighs*
Gordon- So, Needham?
Batman- From what I've gathered, yes. They have him. Part of me thinks I should let them fight it out among themselves.
Gordon- No. No, I don't believe that for a second. That's never been you. I know you'll be back in there tomorrow to rescue Needham from whatever torture they've got lined up for him.
Batman- Hnh. Sorry Jim- Duty calls.
Jim- Of course.
Batman- I'm here Oracle, what do you have?
...
*Damn it*
====Van Cleer Manor====
Talon- Kill the old man first.
Gaige- You pigeons seem awfully sure of yourselves.
Talon- We've had practice. Centuries of it.
*Gaige lets out a small laugh, which transforms into a scream as he approaches his attackers. He impales one on a harpoon- It simply walks through it. He yells a slew of incorehent curses at them- curse words in his native tongue. And then, one, dressed in a coat dating back from the eighteenth century stops, and draws his sword. With a gesture the other Talons lower their weapons. It takes note of the tattoos across the Shark's body, and of the ripped red bandana across his eyes, and it growls*
Talon- You speak the language of the seas?
*The other assassins step aside, one handing Gaige a new cutlass*
Talon- Pirate.
*Gaige examines his new weapon, smiling a sharp toothed grin*
Gaige- I prefer the term buccaneer. I come from clan Gaige. I fought in Nanda Parbat. I stole from Peña Duro, and I served the Knyavezs in Russia. And, you are?
Talon- I hail from the US Navy. Captain George Smith. Your "clan" destroyed my fleet at the Battle of Tortuga.
Gaige- I'm afraid, that doesn't ring a bell. "Matey."
*What follows is a duel unlike any other. They both were born on the seven seas, they know it's customs well. And these ancient enemies- Pirate Captain and Government stooge clashed swords, as the other assassins watched with interest. The Talon, Smith, slashes Gaige across his chest, and Gaige angrily headbutts him. Greyish blood leaks from Smith's nose, as he shrieks "cheater! Cheater!" It is the last thing he says before Gaige cuts his head off.*

*Miranda shoots down two talons in their path, like they were nothing more than target practice. But when she turns back, and sees Drury watching her, she slows down, allowing one to throw a star at her, scraping her cheek*
Drury- Miranda-! I've... I've got this!
*He picks up her fallen gun, and starts firing, but the Talons are climbing up the walls, throwing whatever weapons they have on them, and Drury's weak leg stops him from putting up a good fight*
Drury- Get out of my home.
*The closest Talon nods. Cobb*
Talon- We would love to. Walker.
Drury- You... I know you, don't I? You're the guy who worked with Signal Man, you destroyed Havenrock, didn't you?
Talon- Wrong. Havenrock was not our work, and I was no underling. Philip Cobb was a relative of mine. He had ambitions, ones I admired. But family... tends to disappoint. A lesson you need teaching.
*Miranda rises from the ground, and runs Cobb through with a golden sword, it's adorned with arabic symbols. Cobb looks down at the sword*
Talon- Charming.
Miranda- Drury, run!
Drury- I can-
Miranda- No, you can't.
Drury- I love-
Miranda- Run, you idiot.
Drury- I- yes.
*And run he does, only for an invisible hand to grab him, and throw him through a glass window, onto the balcony. Rain cascades off the unseen monster's mask, a silhouette that looks strangely like a Moth suit. It presses a button on its wrist, revealing a purple and grey version of Drury's suit. No. It *was* Drury's suit. He knew, because for years he'd it kept displayed in the since ransacked Moth-Cave.*
Drury- And who the hell are you?
=====
*Axel reloads his gun. Him and Kitten are pinned down in the kitchen, both of them used to disobeying their father's orders. Three Talons enter, and though they're both hiding behind the fridge, the twins have the same sinking feeling that the assassins can see them. As one approaches, Axel fires the gun, covering it in green goo*
Talon- Ah, the snot gun. We are wise to your tricks bo-
*It's sentence is cut off as it grabs it's face, which melts away in it's hand. It falls to it's feet, where Chancer leaps over the countertop and takes it down with a hit from his baseball bat*
Axel- Acid gun, actually. Dick head.
*Kitten looks at the mess on the floor, and utters an "Ew"*
Chancer- That's fucked, man.
*The remaining Talons march forward undeterred. Kitten throws a heart shaped device at their feet, which explodes one of them. But only one. More are coming*
Chancer- Got any more tricks left?
*The window smashes, and a black ball of fury bursts in, taking down the last Talon in a series of precise swipes, then barrels down the corridor to take down another six. She lowers her hood, and winks*
Axel- Cass!
=======
Drury- I'll be honest. I'm sick to death of imposter bugs. Sick. To. Death. Fireflies and Firebugs and Arkham Moths and Killer Wasps. So let's skip the monologues, let's get to the part where you hand that suit over. *My* suit over.
*It cocks its head to one side.*
Drury- That's my suit. I kept it here for years. Until- until... No.
*The last time Drury had seen that suit was before his stint in Blackgate Prison. He was told later by Miranda that his enemies emptied his cave. From Moth-Copters to Cocoon Guns, they'd taken everything. He'd taken everything*
Drury- Impossible.
*The Moth approaches Drury, and takes it's mask off, letting rain splash off it's face for the first time since it went under. Drury raised his gun at it.*
Drury- Twag.
Seriously one of my favorite shots since I got to SF!! :) There's something about this photo that really captures the joy and fondness I feel towards this city.

I thought that I wasn't scheduled to work this day, but then I got called in with less than an hour to get ready. Once I had my makeup on I had very little time to select an outfit.
Sometimes stress actually makes things work better and this was an example of that. I think the outfit I so hurriedly chose works pretty well!

One of my favorite photos of this train. Here UP 1983 sits on the main after discovering some issues with another motor in their consist. I like this angle, because you can see their entire train to the right of the locomotive's nose. Shot on the Union Pacific River Sub just west of Lexington, MO. 3/7/2015
