This mountain is one of the signature peaks outside Banff. I was amazed by how the clouds seemed to be blowing off the top like a ski jump. Not sure I captured it in this HDR but it was a sight to behold. Look at the larger sizes to see what I mean.
n Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, a pair of male guanacos were having a vicious dominance battle for control of a harem of females right beside the road. The battles, between these otherwise peaceful grazers, can go on for quite a while and end suddenly when the loser breaks off and runs away, pursued by the winner. The object is to prevent the rival from breeding with the females and they tend to go for each other's testicles. The female onlookers seemed bored with the whole hullabaloo.

"Each of the combatants threw all his energies into that effort, and the result was, that both tottered on the brink of the precipice."
"The Last of the Mohicans" is set in 1757, during the French and Indian War, when France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. During this war, both the French and the British used Native American allies, but the French were particularly dependent, as they were outnumbered in the Northeast frontier areas by the more numerous British colonists.
The novel is primarily set in the upper New York wilderness, detailing the transport of the two daughters of Colonel Munro, Alice and Cora, to a safe destination at Fort William Henry. Among the caravan guarding the women are the frontiersman Natty Bumppo (known as Hawkeye), Major Duncan Heyward, and the Indians Chingachgook and his son Uncas. These characters are sometimes seen as a microcosm of the budding American society, particularly with regards to their racial composition.

This was rebuilt around 1338 to help defend the abbey from French raids during the Hundred Years War. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of its kind in an English monastery.
During the 14th century, the strengthened Abbey played a vital role in defending the coast from French raids. In the summer of 1377, Abbot Hamo gained enduring fame by successfully marshalling his troops to repulse a particularly aggresssive raid. At this time, the Abbey was kept busy providing food and clothing to refugeees fleeing the the conflict.
The gatehouse is now home to the Museum of Monastic Life and the Discovery Centre which offers an interactive 'lift-the-flap' quiz and a build-a-family-tree activity for younger children. At Christmas, the turrets are studded with lights helping the gatehouse dominate Battle High Street and contribute to an enchanting seasonal atmosphere.

Meant to post this on Wednesday, but was away on holiday so couldn't do it. Anyway, here it it is.
On 22nd July 1298 he Battle of Falkirk took place between the forces of Scotland under William Wallace and an English army under Edward I. A pivotal moment in the First War of Scottish Independence, it would be a significant defeat for the Scots leading to Wallace resigning as Guardian of Scotland.
In September 1297 the Scots had inflicted a crushing defeat upon the English at the Battle of Striling Bridge. Since then Wallace and his army had been able to travel south with little opposition and raid the countryside along the Scottish / English border. Hearing of the defeat at Stirling, Edward hastily agreed a truce with the French king, Philip the Fair and returned to England to prepare a counterstrike. He assembled a force of around 15,000 men, including some 10,500 Welshmen. Edward ordered his army to assemble at Roxburgh in the Scottish Borders on June 25th where he remained until July 3rd.
He reached Kirkliston in two weeks, where he awaited supplies expected to arrive along the coastal ports, delayed due to weather. There he was forced to deal with a mutiny among his Welsh troops but on July 20th was able to move on, reaching Linlithgow on the 21st. Hearing that a Scottish army was at Torwood, near Falkirk, he decided to place his army south of the town.
The Wallace’s army numbered around 6,000, perhaps consisting of four schiltrons with about 1,000 men each, in addition to the cavalry and archers. Absent however, were forces under the Comyns and Robert Bruce. Also absent was Andrew Moray, co-victor with Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, having been mortally wounded in that battle. It was Moray who used the schiltrons offensively.
The schiltrons formed the backbone of the Scottish army, consisting chiefly of spearmen arranged in a circular formation, with the long spears pointing outwards. At Falkirk it is thought four were arranged with archers filling the gaps between them and some 500 knights supporting them to their rear. When in formation however schiltrons were essentially static and at Falkirk they were fortified by stakes driven into the ground before them, with ropes between. In front of them was an area of marshy ground which would make an English charge difficult.
It was therefore up to the English to advance and since they were eager to do battle, advance they did. Their cavalry was divided into four battalions with the Earl of Lincoln leading from the right but moving left to avoid the marshy ground; they were followed by the Earl of Surrey's horse. Anthony Bek and Edward’s horse moved around the right of the marshy ground. Lincoln and Bek charged aggressively and Lincoln quickly routed the Scottish cavalry.
The Scots bowmen commanded by Sir John Stewart of Bonkill, the younger brother of the High Steward of Scotland, stood their ground and were quickly destroyed. But the schiltrons held firm, with the knights making little impression on the dense forest of long spears, and 111 horses were killed in the vain attempts. Edward's cavalry fell back as his infantry and archers arrived.
Edward's longbowmen were brought into place and quickly overcame the inexperienced force of badly armed Scottish archers. The schiltrons were an easy target; they had no defence and nowhere to hide. The hail of arrows was supplemented by crossbow and slingshot. Unable to retreat or attack the schiltrons were cut to pieces, the battle lost almost as soon as the first arrows began to fall. The English cavalry waited, this time observing the King's command, until the Scots ranks were thin enough to allow them to penetrate the Scottish formation and cause whatever damage they could. The English footsoldiers, who had been advancing during the English barrage on the Scottish formations, closed the distance and the schiltrons finally started to break and scatter. Wallace managed to escape and the surviving Scots fled into the woods.
Casualties among the Scottish leaders were not particularly heavy, but did include Wallace's second-in-command, Sir John de Graham, as well as Sir John Stewart of Bonkill, and Macduff of Fife. According to the historian Stuart Reid, "while unquestionably a good partisan leader, William Wallace's military abilities were simply not up to the job of organizing, training and leading a conventional military force." At Falkirk, Wallace "simply drew up his army in an open field and froze."
Edward occupied Stirling and raided Perth, St. Andrews and Ayrshire. Yet, he retreated to Carlisle by September 9th. By this time Wallace had resigned as Guardian of Scotland in favour of Robert the Bruce, Earl of Carrick and future king, and John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, King John Balliol's nephew. Edward invaded again in the summer of 1300 and so began a new chapter of the First War of Scottish Independence.
This is my 5 foot by slightly over 1 foot moc of the Battle of Scarif from Rogue One. Hope you all enjoy!

For the Battle Beasts group July challenge: WATER OX and FIRE LARK.
Ox based on a musk ox. The lark's head gave me heaps of trouble; what you see is version #29! Everything I tried looked like an ostrich, camel, duck, goose-anything but a simple lark. He nearly got pimped with huge flame wings, inspired as a was by Uspez's Luminous Lark.
So get in on the fun whydon'tcha?!
I wasnt feeling up to it, so Im not happy with the pics, but here is one which I think is ok.
it was fun.

Another from Holloween day when Skylar and I picked up a couple beautiful action figures and then took them to Mitchell Canyon and hiked all over looking for good light in which to set them up and take photos.
It was a real collaborative effort ... he would scout the locations and set them up, and do things like pull blades of grass or move branches or change their positions, while I snapped away. What a wonderful way to spend Halloween together!
We had a magical time, and got quite a few magical pictures as well! Almost worth the terrible case of poison oak I got from laying on the ground in so many iffy locations.
Taken at Petworth park as the late afternoon sun was dropping behind the trees and backlighting this deer laying in the grass.

Icons all
With the Flight's Dakota preceding them, Element Four of the RAF100 London Flypast consisted of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's iconic and historic WWII aircraft, down from their home at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire
Led by their Avro Lancaster bomber - one of only two airworthy examples left in the world - she's flanked by three Supermarine Spitfires and outboard, two Hawker Hurricanes, the latter two types synonymous with the famous event that the Flight is names after - The Battle of Britain
Stirring stuff!

Entitled: Battle of Giants
This was the result of a project we ran at work called Summer Jam. The theme we were given was Giants, and we had 4 Friday afternoons to come up with a piece of art work or creative expression to depict something relating to the theme.
This is what I came up with, it was a Jam in the truest sense as I made it up as I went along. I had a Lot of fun on this project.
