The canopy assembly. The Apache's angular canopy was by far the hardest part of the build to get anywhere near right, especially around two complete Lego minifigures in a cramped space. After several attempts this was what I came up with. It is based on two different Lego hinge types (2 x light grey 4275/black 4231 & 2 x dark green 2429/2430), linking large transparent panels. The shapes of the Apache's glazing are simulated using pieces of dark green Lego decals.
Sitting in the garden this afternoon, there's the unmistakable beat of an Apache approaching. Not one, but two. Here's one of them, great display.
Another image from the Bosque del Apache, this a detail of sandhill cranes lifting off from the golden fields. Not the usual detail due to enlargement, but I love the shapes of the birds as they take off. Reminds me of a Japanese print.
Sandhill cranes are social birds that are usually encountered in pairs or family groups through the year. During migration and winter, non-related cranes come together to form "survival groups" which forage and roost together. Such groups often congregate at migration and winter sites, such as the Bosque del Apache, sometimes resulting in thousands of cranes being found together.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday. Thanks for stopping by -- I always appreciate all of your kind comments and other support.

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 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.
