Leipzig - Moments
The Monument to the Battle of the Nations (German: Völkerschlachtdenkmal) is a monument in Leipzig, Germany, to the 1813 Battle of Leipzig, also known as the Battle of the Nations. Paid for mostly by donations and the city of Leipzig, it was completed in 1913 for the 100th anniversary of the battle at a cost of six million goldmarks.
The monument commemorates the defeat of Napoleon's French army at Leipzig, a crucial step towards the end of hostilities in the War of the Sixth Coalition. The coalition armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden were led by Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg. There were Germans fighting on both sides, as Napoleon's troops also included conscripted Germans from the left bank of the Rhine annexed by France, as well as troops from his German allies of the Confederation of the Rhine.
These are figures in a store window in Savannah, GA as you can see from the GPS on my phone......don't you love it? Anyway have been editing my archives and played with this today....hope you like it.
Thanks for the visits, comments, awards and invites.
Have a lovely evening!
A well-worn Norfolk Southern SD70M was leaning into the curve at Mexico on the Middle Division. This survivor was still sporting the full whiteface paint on the cab that most NS motors lack.
Norfolk Southern has sold off their SD70M fleet so the era of the EMD DC fleet is pretty much dead.
It was built in 2003 and sold to Progress Rail for scrap in 2020.
The Battle of Orgreave is the name given to a confrontation between police and picketing miners at a British Steel coking plant in Orgreave, South Yorkshire, in 1984, during the UK miners' strike. In 2001 it was the subject of a historical reenactment. In 1991, South Yorkshire police were forced to pay out half a million pounds to thirty-nine miners who were arrested in the events at the Battle of Orgreave.
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) organised a mass picket of Orgreave for June 18, 1984, with the intention of blockading the plant, and ideally forcing its temporary closure. Aware of the plans by means of MI5 infiltration, the police organised counter-measures.
The NUM was represented by 5-6000 pickets from across the UK. The police deployed between 4000 to 8000 officers, and were deployed from ten counties. Of these a small number had been trained in new riot tactics following the Toxteth and Brixton riots, while most had little or no experience in dealing with such events. There were between 40-50 mounted police, and 58 police dogs. There were no women officers and only a handful of female picketers.
Unlike most of the strikes of the time, where picketers were kept well away from their intended positions, the strikers were escorted to a field to the north of the Orgreave plant. The field was flanked by police on all sides except the south, where the Sheffield to Worksop railway line runs. Opinion is divided as to whether this was a deliberate arrangement.

Captured in: Montauk Point, NY.
It was a postcard perfect summer day along the shores of Long Island's Montauk Point, complete with a nice sea breeze blowing out over the cool waters of the Atlantic.
On this day, one could almost envision two natural forces opposing each other... The incoming Atlantic tide pressed upon by the winds of Eastern Long Island. Seems the Montauk Point lighthouse was acting referee in this battle, as is typically her job. ;)
This happened to be an amazing day for another reason, as I had the opportunity and privilege of working with the outstanding Long Island landscape and wildlife master photographer Bill Rudock.
Just wanted to thank Bill for spending the day shooting images at the Point, and giving me the amazing opportunity to learn from his vast knowledge and experience. Certainly a day that I won't soon forget!

"Battle at the Point" is an HDR image constructed from 3 bracketed shots - 2 stop differential between each image.
Image processed w/ ACR, Photomatix, and finished in Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Denoise, Clean, Adjust, Clarity, and Detail).
Decided to reprocess this old shot from the famous beach in Iceland. Big chunks of ice from the glacier end up on the beach and get carved into ephemeral pieces of art by the waves.

A light and agile battle tank, the Raptor is 23 studs long and finished! Sinc I last posted, I redesigned the hatches, moved the turret foreward, added mudguards, extended the skirt the full length of the treads, and reworked the front and back ends. I think I'm ready to move on, but this is one of those MOCs that will stay together a long time. Yay Tank!
There is something about latex that as well as satisfying ones kinky side makes for a great SciFi outfit. So this gorgeous outfit by Wicca's Orginals was idea for my visit to Drune East of Eden

Drune East of Eden
My mom told me to take it day by day,
even on the days it rains.
You choose your battles, she says.
I choose tomorrow's battle today.
An old tank used for target practice on a very dark and dismal Imber Range, Salisbury Plain military training area..
The battle rages on inside the Theed hangar as the Trade Federation droid army brings in reinforcements to recapture the hangar. As several Naboo Starfighters scramble to get airborne, the ground forces have been split to enable the royal entourage to get to the palace.
If you enjoy viewing this and my other works, please support the Star Wars Modular Buildings/Locations project that I've created on Lego CUUSOO.
This MOC was on public display in Edison, New Jersey on March 31, 2012 Saturday thru April 1, 2012 Sunday for the Greenberg Train Show.
