The 80 car SU-99 heads westbound through Newfoundland with three SD60s pulling hard to maintain track speed. Newfoundland was home of Finbar in the 2003 movie "The Station Agent".

On this day in 1943 German & Soviet forces engaged in the Battle of Prokhorovka, one of the largest armoured engagements of all time. Despite heavy losses, the Soviets repelled their attackers. It was a turning point in the Battle of Kursk, leading to an overall Soviet victory.
I like the silhouettes of the firemen in the forefront. This is another shot that was originally shot in the early 70's.
Looking across Shropshire, at sunrise, from the summit of Willstone Hill which is marked by the distinctive Battle Stones
this was a real battle against the elements kind of photo... the wind was blowing strongly, clouds kept bringing in an odd shower or two, the spray from the waves was covering my lens... the microfibre towels went into overdrive... the umbrella was nearly torn by the wind and finding the right moment to capture the shot i wanted required tonnes of patience...

Hey guys thanks for checking out my MOC on Flickr, this is taking about 50+ hours to build and is my own spinoff head canon Star Wars story! It is a mission where the 91st recon corps was stationed to settle local disputes before the Confederacy of independent systems became involved which brought the conflict to a whole new level.
Back gate designed to be defensible not accessible to the enemy. One more drummers tower, two or maybe four more walls depending on the available stock.
Jaguar (Panthera onca)—South America’s apex predator—caught in an intense, raw moment. The scar above its eye and its low, focused stance emerging from water hyacinths add to the drama.
These two wild stallions were fighting over some girl it looked like. It sure was awesome to see. I have included a cropped version of just their faces too. Taken at the Pilot Butte Wild Horse Range just outside Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Back from vacation and will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Looking forward to seeing your work.

A very small part of the famous ` Terracotta Army` of some 8,000 figures. They have been guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang for over 2,000 years !! Each soldier has different features & expressions. Traces of pigment indicate that their current monochrome grey dress was once bright yellow, purple & green.
While we are still thinking of B&W and leading lines , here is a shot looking up one of the towers remaining at the site of Battle Abbey . It is sited by The Terrace Walk overlooking some of the Battlefield - according to the book it would appear to be 15th Century .
Displaying at the National Museum of the Marine Corps on April 11th, I had to come up with something featuring the USMC and also what’s apparently become my theme this year, the Anniversary of Something, so here’s my take on this iconic conflict. I only had about 6 hours to build it, so no border, and I would have liked to build up those ramparts higher but overall, fairly satisfied with this one. 100% LEGO except for the custom flags.

Ever forget something that was really important not to forget?
The Battle of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815 was the last major combat of the War of 1812. 4732 American combatants, commanded by Major General Andrew Jackson, prevented nearly 11,000 British infantry and Royal Marines, commanded by General Edward Pakenham, from seizing New Orleans as a strategic prize to end the war. The war was actually over by the time the main battle was fought, ended by the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, but since the US government had not yet approved the treaty, the fighting in Louisiana would continue until the British withdrew on January 18th. One of the most lop-sided victories in history, the British advanced under very heavy fire only to find once they reached the American ramparts that the ladders necessary to ascend the fortifications were not available, having been forgotten by the negligence of the Colonel in charge of them. With limited access to the Americans and taking fire the entire time, all British officers over the rank of Major were killed, leaving no one to sound the retreat. Their casualties were therefore disproportionately high, losing over 2000 in just 25 minutes of fighting, compared to less than 100 American casualties (only 13 were actually killed). As for the USMC, 58 US Marines fought at New Orleans and they are the American troops I am portraying here.
Another simple test in landscaping, but mainly I just wanted to show of the awesome pose I made with my clone trooper. ;)
Enjoy!
A very rough timeline of my BftM mocs (I left out most of the rocketships) but it's the evolution of weaponry I have in my head whenever I build something for BftM. It's not meant as a rigid standard or anything as I still want flexibility to do whatever I want but more of a general sweep of technological progress, beginning with unarmed, delicate landing rockets of the early surveyor teams and culminating with giant, colourful, wind-up walking mecha firing lasers and rockets.
I need to flesh out more stuff at either end: more early landers and more large robot walkers. The new curvy parts that have come out the large couple of years get me itching to do more in this theme.

This was taken during an incredibly colorful sunset outside of building 66 at MIT.
The light was illuminating only one side of the triangolar building.
It reminded me a big battle ship floating in the space.
There's a trend going on now of toys in mid-battle shot with dramatic lighting, a high speed shutter, and blasts of dust. And I'll be honest for a minute: I tried to do one of these outdoor mid-battle shots for myself. Long story short, it didn't turn out that great. It ended up looking like three airborne pebbles and barely noticeable poof of smoke. I had fun editing this on my PicsArt app, though.
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.

A week later and i made another trip to Bushy Park, ( Trip 6 ) in London. The Rut was showing signs of happening, although a bit low key.
This Red Deer Stag was showing signs of an injury above the left eye with a large patch of dried blood.

The battle features the forces of the Central Asain Combine attacking the remnants of The Iron Core, after the apoc. Yes, I shamelessly ripped this off Goldman.

There is a great battle is going on between my camera systems. The battle for my attention.
The mighty heavyweight Canon 5D mk III has the processing power, the massive ISO advantage, and the versatility of those interchangeable lenses.
Whilst small, the purposeful brick shaped Sigma DP Merrill cannot be discounted. It has a huge 46MP Foveon sensor and a fixed lens that is so sharp it can cut your finger if you touch it the wrong way. The sensor creates such vivid and rich colours and the sharpest b&w images imaginable. It's small and compact, light and discrete ...
So far they are getting along in harmony, with both getting plenty of use. Time will tell ...
At about two to three years of age, young lions are no longer tolerated by their family ― the pride. Their mothers are usually ready for their next litter of cubs, which often drives them out to become nomads. This mostly happens to young males, but it happens to females as well; if the pride is too large and has difficulty supporting itself, young females will also be driven to become nomads.
This driving out of young lions is vital to the survival of the pride. For females, it keeps the pride at a size that requires less support. For males, there are two other advantages. First, there is less competition for the prime male over mating in the pride. Second, it helps avoid incest. By leaving the pride, the young males will move to mate with other lionesses rather than those related to them, thus the gene pool is kept healthy.
After being kicked out, young male lions either roam alone or in small bands - often with their brothers or cousins. At such age, their only option is to survive the unknown lands or perish. In fact, this is the time when most of them die; only about one in eight male lions make it to adulthood. Those who do survive and find a new territory have to take over another pride. This means fighting with the resident males - frequently to death. That’s yet another evolutionary challenge for them to stay alive.
