Basically an ME 109 which was used by the Spanish airforce until the mid 60's. (I think).

...don't have one. I always crack a big silly smile when I get a good hand.

 

For threesixtyfive and FGR challenge, "Playing Cards"

I took this shot as my first upload for the new group 52 in 2014. A gentle challenge of fulfilling one or two themes per week. I'm hoping it will encourage me to slowly 'get back in the saddle' with my photography. If anyone reading this would like to join in, just hop on over and click 'Join Group'.

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil

Going with the flow, it's all a game to me

Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you

Double up or quit, double stake or split

The ace of spades

The ace of spades

 

You know I'm born to lose

And gambling's for fools

But that's the way I like it, baby

I don't wanna live forever

Die Tatsache,daß Darmstadt 98 heute noch im Stadion am Böllenfalltor spielt,ist wohl nur dem Umstand geschuldet,daß motörhead 1981 die Regler nicht voll aufgedreht haben.

I do firmly belief that fate plays its part in our lives. Too often these days I think back and wonder 'What if?' and how different things might have been had I not been in that particular place at that particular time. Luckily there aren't too many things I would want to change so I guess life has dealt me a pretty decent hand most of the time. :>)

Two inshore fishing boats moored alongside the quay in Fraserburgh harbour Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Sure, it is a more modern iteration. Doubt there was much brandy consumed in Deadwood.

I took this a few months ago while watching the Motorhead documentary "Lemmy". It took me a while to stage this image haha.

 

Unfortunately, Lemmy passed away last night. I consider him a legend.

 

R.I.P. Lemmy.

In the financial markets, there is chaos, but remember that that does not mean you need to panic with them - stay cool and focus on other things!

Ace of Spades, Sacramento, CA

March 22nd, 2015

The album Ace of Spades was released in 1980 by British band Motörhead, with the title track becoming one of their biggest hits.

 

Motörhead was singer/bass player Lemmy Kilmister, guitar player "Fast" Eddie Clarke and drummer Phil "Filthy Animal" Taylor. The band underwent many variations over the years with Lemmy being the only consistent member until his death from prostate cancer at age 70, three days after Christmas in 2015.

 

A giant Lemmy points out from the picture above.

 

I was never a huge Motörhead fan although I did like this particular album.

 

A bit of a different take on today's We're Here theme of Playing Cards.

Lucent Dossier-Ace of Spades-Sacramento

In an attempt to put up some form of resistance against the tidal wave of great pictures Brett launched today today, I decided to post this one.

 

Chaperon II (C51, 2732), attached to the 12th Division (Ace of Spades) was taken out south of Lateau Wood on 20th November 1917. On scene today are two Kraftfahrers, who are paying a little visit to this popular tank.

 

Dozens of pictures can be found showing this tank, but this small personal photograph reveals something that is hardly visible on all the other ones I've seen to far, namely a drawing next to its number 2732.

In my opinion this the mascot of the tank crew and it seems to be mocking the German Army, their Landwehr/Landsturm to be precise. A drawing of a soldier with a slightly hunched back, long beard and a tall hat with a cross on it (i.e. their representation of a M1860 Tschako) can be discerned.

  

I believe that this picture was taken shortly after the battle and that the drawing was still intact at this point, in all other pictures it has been covered/faded/...

 

Far fetched...? Not neccesarily, check out the comment for a similar mascot, after an attempt of Germans to cover it.

 

This is one of the weirdest badly gone experiments that I have done with captures of my eyes. You've seen the color of my eyes before, and it is bottle green with brown around the pupils. What you see in this one though is darkness and a Ace of Spades in a hand. I have no idea how the color came to be what it is, nor how the hand reflected in it as this is no Photo Shop layering, or whatever else. Strange things have been happening with some of my photographs and this is one of the strangest. Have a great day my friends and {{{HUGS}}} to all of you's :)

Count Mötörhead (with his white boots, like in the olden days!) and some debris from his past. For Beat Route mag. Although, I do like some of his more recent customized boots...
