Looking up the barrel of the 30mm chain gun. This view also shows the underwing stores well. The external fuel tank under the port winglet should have a more streamlined form, but this is the best that current Lego parts allow.
Apache plume is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it is found in arid habitats such as desert woodlands and scrub. The flower is roselike when new, with rounded white petals and a center filled with many thready stamens and pistils. The ovary of the flower remains after the white petals fall away, leaving many plumelike lavender styles, each 3 to 5 centimeters long. The plant may be covered with these dark pinkish clusters of curling, feathery styles after flowering. Wasps such as Polistes instabilis commonly feed on its nectar.
One of the guys here dubbed this "Apache Dawn" saying the sky looked like his Indian Blanket. A fitting title I thought. It really pops in the light box. Nothing fancy here....just a matter of getting my hind parts out of the bed and into the field to shoot it. As Ansel said.....Be there and f/8. Have a Great Day and thanks for the visit.
The flower: desert globe mallow
The place: Apache Lake, Arizona
After a nerve-wracking drive down a narrow, winding dirt road with sheer cliffs and no guardrails, this view made it all worthwhile.
One of my favourites. Shot at the disused airfield at Woodbridge, Suffolk in the spring of 2006. 662 Sqn, 3 Regiment, AAC were the first Wattisham unit working up on the new Apache and deployed to Woodbridge on conversion-to-role training. No tricky, just shot through the fence on a lovely evening. Has appeared in the local press here in Suffolk.
Apache running in to attack with the remotely controlled 30mm chain gun under the cockpit, here slewed down and right, slaved to the sensors in the steerable Target Acquisition and Designation Sights (TADS) under the nose.
Nuclear Security Summit 2014 Started at The Hague, but the small town of Alblasserdam just 20 kilometers east of Rotterdam is protected with two of these Apache choppers...
Picture has been taken from my front door, choppers were flying right above my house....
Port side of the Apache at rest. The profile of the canopy is rather too high over the front-seat gunner, but suggests the real aircraft's profile and was the least inaccurate construction I could come up with. This view also shows the simulation of the hydraulics on the underwing pylons, which allow stores such as this external fuel tank to be angled parallel to the ground when landed, and then rotated slightly nose-up for flight.
Apache tears are rounded pebbles of obsidian or "obsidianites" composed of black or dark-colored natural volcanic glass, usually of rhyolitic composition and bearing conchoidal fracture.
Canyon Lake
The Apache Trail in Arizona was a stagecoach trail that ran through the Superstition Mountains. It was named the Apache Trail after the Apache Indians who originally used this trail to move through the Superstition Mountains.
The current Apache Trail links Apache Junction (33.4152°N 111.5807°W) at the edge of the Greater Phoenix area with Theodore Roosevelt Lake (33.6725°N 111.1531°W), through the Superstition Mountains and the Tonto National Forest.
Today, the majority of Apache Trail remains unpaved, turning into a dirt road a few miles up from Tortilla Flat, and continuing as such for nearly the full remainder of its length. The section east of Apache Junction is known officially as State Route 88. It is also the main traffic corridor through Apache Junction, turning into Main Street as the road passes into Mesa, and regains the Apache name by becoming Apache Boulevard in Tempe, ending at Mill Avenue. Prior to the completion of the Superstition Freeway in 1992, the Apache Junction portion of the Apache Trail was part of US Highway 60, which was rerouted to the Superstition Freeway once it was completed.
The Trail winds steeply through 40 miles (64 km) of rugged desert mountains, past deep reservoir lakes like Canyon Lake and Apache Lake. The narrow, winding road is unpaved from just east of the town of Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt Dam; there are steep cliff drops and little in the way of safety barriers. The trail requires caution when driving and it is not recommended for large RVs, SUVs, or caravans. Some large RV rental companies in the US do not allow their vehicles to be taken on this route.

Die Apache Trail Historic Road, auch AZ 88 genannt, östlich von Phoenix rühmt sich großer historischer, kultureller und landschaftlicher Bedeutung. Sie führt über 116 Kilometer von Apache Junction nach Globe-Miami, wo sich die 63 Kilometer lange Gila-Pinal Scenic Road direkt anschließt, die zurück nach Phoenix führt.
Zwischen Apache Junction und dem Tonto National Monument gehört der Apache Trail zu den landschaftlich reizvollsten Routen in den USA. Die abenteuerliche Fahrt ist ein unvergessliches Western-Erlebnis. Theodore Roosevelt sagte bei der Einweihung des nach ihm benannten Staudamms sinngemäß: „Im Apache Trail treffen das Großartige der Alpen, die Pracht der Rocky Mountains und die Herrlichkeit des Grand Canyons zusammen.“
Der Apache Trail folgt einem alten Pfad der Apachen durch die Felsschluchten des Salt River, führt jedoch an der Canyon-Seite höher hinauf, weil der Canyon jetzt teilweise in den Fluten des Salt Rivers und den sich anschließend bildenden Seen ertrunken ist. Kurz nach 1900 wurde er als Versorgungsstraße für den Bau des Theodore-Roosevelt-Damms angelegt. Heute führt er an einer Reihe attraktiver State Parks und kleiner Orte entlang und gewährt Zugang zu den schönen Superstition Mountains.

Well guys, a new creation, and an UPDATE...
Well, I made the school basketball team and I have games every week, so that may put an impediment on my building. Furthermore, I am having a continual increase in homework amounts, but I will try to upload. Pictures of Oasis Onslaught PART 2 will hopefully be up soon, although I haven't taken them yet. Again, sorry for the recent lack of uploads, I hope to continue posting on a regular basis. Sorry for the crappy quality, IDK what happened there...
