The top of this green jewel bug (Scutelleridae); commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration; is sprayed with beautiful iridescent green colors and dark grey spots, while the bottom is bright orange with dark spots again. the orange thighs in its legs are supported with bluish green legs.
Though this bug also has 7 spots, like the 7-spotted cockroach, it is not a cockroach, but a beautiful little beetle, which can fly around.
The end of its wings can be seen in its abdominal end under the hardened top wing (made out of chitin).
A lone Union Pacific C30-7 leads a double stack train into the intermodal facility at Englewood Yard. The train has arrived via the Strang Subdivision. I'm not sure if this was an actual road train or a transfer move, but the single unit seemed unusual. The intermodal facility here has since been closed and moved to the nearby Settegast Yard.

We were able to get out to Eagle Mills in time to watch the 7 Weigher going to work. The Weigher job hauls empty hoppers to Tilden Mine, fills them, then delivers them to the CN at Partridge Siding.
Yeah, that's right, number SEVEN of my five fave faces!
This colour shot of Hannah, the gels, her hair colour, and those killer eyes, I love it!
The RPG-7 (Russian: Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт – Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, English: Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher) is a portable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Originally made by the Soviet Union, it is now manufactured by the Russian company Bazalt. The English-language term "rocket-propelled grenade", though frequently encountered and reasonably descriptive, is a backronym for "RPG" and not based on a literal translation. The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 has made it the most widely used anti-armor weapon in the world. Currently around 40 countries use the weapon, and it is manufactured in several variants by nine countries. It is popular with irregular and guerrilla forces. The RPG has been used in almost all conflicts across all continents since the mid-1960s from the Vietnam War to the early 2010s War in Afghanistan.

For a while now I've wanted to try putting the warhead of the older brickarms RPG on the newer RPG-7, I finally decided on it while redoing an older painted RPG-7 from a few years ago.
While it would've been a good idea to try out the removable warhead design I've seen so many people doing, this was not such case. I just took the original warhead and made it into a prop-piece so to speak.
While I was at it, I wanted to try out adding some details to the warhead. Originally I got the idea from SpartanBricks on his Joker figure from a few months back. Of course I didn't entirely base it off his and instead went for the shark nose-art look. Turned out pretty damn good all on it's own if I do say so.
Also added the hollow back-blast tube. Not entirely centred though, I might try to fix that.

Back in Sozopol 7 years later... and I barely managed to catch the sunset on my way to dinner in the Old Town. I don't remember ever shooting the sunset dressed up and without a tripod but it will have to do for today. Thanks for stopping by and putting up with my sporadic commenting these days... I'll have some catching-up to do when I return to the States. Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

'Red 7' of the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic display team (reg: XX311) breaks away from the rest of the pack and starts his run to perform the 'Opposition Barrel' manoeuvre where he flies straight towards a team-mate flying towards him in the opposite direction, both pilots performing a barrel roll at the last second to avoid a collision.
This photo was taken at the Scottish International Airshow 2017 at Ayr Beach (01/09/2017).
Without a doubt, we’re returning to the fort after a lengthy battle. It actually took me less than half an hour to get the bombs disabled, phew. And I guess the city went on lockdown for it, thanks to Jesse and Gary helping citizens to evacuate. It's just Tokyo thankfully, and just parts of the suburbs. Must be tough as well to do something like that.
I can’t tell if I’m a crazy old man or not, but a guy literally chasing after a sword like that seems too much. It's like a weird story that was so nonsensical yet it also made sense. After we get our duties done, we quickly assemble as a united team, with each other at the fort the old bastard has made, and some of the cops already started to shoot the guild ninjas. I decide to provide assistance by manipulating the metal, causing their swords to extrude, wrapping them up.
Kurt: “So Avalon Squad, you ready to break in?”
Harry: “Yeah, sure. I’ll get everyone invisible. Erin, you do your thing.”
Erin: “Alright. Let me use the execute program to take down the sentries first. Here goes nothing, shadowgirl...”
Thanks to some of our tech geniuses, we manage to take down the shields and the defences. It was actually pretty quick. Then a couple more stairs up. (no elevators, that’s interesting for a high tech dojo). By the time we reach the main office, I see Igarashi fighting Oddcrow, who are locked with swords with each other.
Connor: “No!”
Oddcrow: “I told you not to come....I realised I had to finish this beast of a man....he will be executed.”
Connor: “But this isn’t your fight.”
Oddcrow: “It might be....I’m sorry.”
Connor: “I can’t afford to lose another friend.”
As Dusksmoke whips his staff, a surge of energy blows everyone back. It is seemingly Igarashi, his eyes now a flare of dark black, even worse than Erin’s shadow powers. He looks corrupted.
Igarashi: “You are too late, Connor Arden. You cannot save your friends. Say sayonara while it lasts....”
Connor: “What do you mean?”
Igarashi: “You think I still need the katana? No. It is useless now. I now have the highest form of power, and all of you are unmatched for my power.”
Rattlesnake: “Not until I get my rematch first, sensei.”
Jumpdeath: “I’ll end these scum for you as well.”
More assassins surround us, because it’s obviously a trap this son of a gun laid on us. Rattlesnake is the first to try spraying toxic gas with his powers, while Jumpdeath transmutes into a solid silver form. All for sure with these enemies, we’ll likely die from poisoning in a matter of minutes.
Harry attempts to go invisible, but he is caught by Jumpdeath’s fists, punching him out. Sam and Riley start clashing with a now mad Igarashi, so he’s on a 1v3 mode. Ty, Jesse and Gary create a field together, trying to block the gas out. It’s starting to work, but I didn’t know that slithery bastard had acid powers, goddamnit. Erin launches her axe as a tomahawk, chopping off the heads of two incoming ninjas who’s coming at my back.
Kurt: “Thanks. I love your new powerset, very cool indeed. This old man's gotta learn the younger ones."
Erin: “Naw, don’t thank me yet. Still gotta diffuse the gas, remember? We’re living bombs.”
Kurt: “Oh right. Earthnerve, absorb the floor! We need you going up against that crazy lady!”
Lyra: “Oui! Here we go!”
Lyra absorbs the wall, causing her increased resistance. She punches headfirst into Jumpdeath, who tries to launch her arrows at us. They start engaging in CQC, both locked in.
With everyone occupied, I use the dropped katana and hook it to my back. I shout to Jesse for an electric boost, which he does so while at bay. I concentrate, trying to morph the sword into a liquid form, but it doesn’t work. Nevertheless, they still try....guess it’s all heated up now.
Kurt: “Gentlemen, what if we charged up the sword? It can’t lose power like that!”
Ty: “Yeah sure, not when I’m busy!”
Gary: “My chi’s too focused against Rattlesnake. He’s gonna breach our shield!”
Kurt: “I have two absorption bombs. Exosage, I need a bigger hole than that!”
Erin: “Sure....on a count of three, follow my lead....”( she struggles to open a bigger one, given the mass proportion and short distance, I shoot the blast through the portal, while it comes on the other side, hitting Rattlesnake.)
He is enraged from the sudden attack, having his eyes focused on me now. I give a quick smirk, then throwing my absorption bomb through the portal. It consumes the gas that Rattlesnake generated, causing him to weaken. Gary finally gets his foot steady, knocking him out with a Chi punch.
Meanwhile, Lyra is still busy fighting, but I’m not sure if she can take it further. Her suit is already damaged from the prolonged attacks. I decide to get a serum, extracted from the unconscious Rattlesnake, and load it into my pistol. Firing quickly, the acid needle hits Jumpdeath in back of her left shoulder, as her “skin” starts corroding. She screams in agony and pain, now trying to blindly attack Lyra, but she fails to do so—-eventually jumping out the building due to the corrosion. Phew, I guess that’s two left....huh?
Igarashi: “You maybe done with my army, but I alone—-am more powerful than any of you here! Now, taste this, filths!”
And the sounds of metal clanking goes into a quick flash of white light.
I finally managed to get out with my camera yesterday for the first time in nearly a month. For a while now I've been wanting a shot of 'the batman building' as everyone refers to it as, but on of the whole building. Whenever you see this building you always see a shot looking upwards - in fact similar to my last post (Number 7).
The problem is to get all of the building without all the surrounding buildings you need to be around 10mm and the distortion on the verticals then becomes extreme - which is sometimes ok - but not in this case. So I went about this shoot like my recent shot of Canary Wharf shot - stitching two heavily vertically corrected landscape shots together as a vertorama - the result was then cropped square for isolation - the surrounding buildings are just out of frame. Its taken a lot of processing but its what I've had in my mind for a while. No long exposure this time, the security guards were on the prowl so didn't have time to setup properly.

NS 8520 AC44C6CF DC to AC rebuild from Roanoke.
This unit was supposedly ballasted up to 432,000 lbs, so I'm not sure if this sticker is correct.
