Following the fall of the Final Order and a certain wrinklebag that should have been dead by now, Lieutenant Connix was able to finally purchase the starship of her dreams, the B3 Zodiac. The Zodiac is built specifically for getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, and its three engines are well beyond the needs of a small single man starship, but that just adds to the fun. The Zodiac is perfect for ferrying Connix to and from planets to coordinate the construction of a more peaceful galaxy, and its two Quasar Cannons can provide enough self defense if any stray Tie fighters or space scavengers show up.
Yep. So this is my combiner of the 75248 A-wing and the 75249 Y-Wing (without stickers). This was a fun little build I put together on an afternoon when I was feeling pretty under the weather. First MOC of 2020... Hopefully more to come soon!
U.S. Soldiers of 5th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division board a M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle after conducting cordon and search training during exercise Combined Resolve VI at the U.S. Army’s Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels, Germany, May 22, 2016. Exercise Combined Resolve VI is designed to exercise the U.S. Army’s regionally allocated force to the U.S. European Command area of responsibility with multinational training at all echelons. Approximately 570 participants from 5 NATO and European partner nations will participate. The exercise involves around 500 U.S. troops and 70 NATO and European partner nations. Combined Resolve VI is a preplanned exercise that does not fall under Operation Atlantic Resolve. This exercise will train participants to function together in a joint, multinational and integrated environment and train U.S. rotational forces to be more flexible, agile and to better operate alongside our NATO Allies.

I have no idea what this plant is/was, but it was very tall. The photo on the left is as I first saw it and the one on the right is a close up of the branches.
Ive been following this combine harvester about by accident from the 8-11th August.A good chance you will see Birds of Prey.They did not disapoint me and the harvest was good to see too.
The view along the field looking at the wheat as the harvester cuts the row, the harvester is deliberately out of focus drawing your attention back to the crop being cut. This picture was taken at Balne north yorkshire just off the A19 Selby Road

Large Diorama: Combined Arms
After a typical daily patrol, the mechanized platoon returns to base along the same route the unit has taken numerous times. The long road back to base is bordered on both sides by opium poppy fields and native farmers.
After passing one of the unsuspecting farm houses the American unit is attacked from a small building located at the 5 o’clock position of the Bradley Fighting vehicle. The U.S. forces have walked into a carefully and preciously planned ambush.
According to typical U.S. Army protocol, the Bradley and the 6 infantry soldiers immediately begin to engage the enemy threat. The Bradley turret quickly turns and begins to level the building where the attack began with its 25 mm M242 Chain Gun. The six soldiers in the rear of the vehicle quickly exit the Bradley and seek protective cover behind the steel reinforced aluminum armor. In the first few seconds of the firefight one American soldier goes down and helped to the cover behind the Bradley.
Multiple enemy forces pour from within the neighboring buildings, and the friendlies quickly realize they are greatly outnumbered. Realizing the unit is in grave danger, the commander calls to higher for air support. Luckily, there is a new UAV, the Seeker, in the air only 2 minutes from their location.
Unknown to the patrol, the leader of the enemy forces had planned to initiate the attack at a precise and exact time, which would call for the attack to begin when the American armored vehicle would be right on top of a buried IED (Improvised Explosive Device). The enemy commander’s plan has worked so far and he is about to detonate the IED with a cellular phone while hidden in the perceived safety of the larger building.
The American forces were ambushed with superior numbers and the enemy is about to spring the final trap that would spell doom for the entire unit. . . . . . . . . . . . .
However, thanks to the close coordination between land and air forces, the adept American commander is able to save his men from death by calling in a local UAV to level the area and eliminate the IED threat hidden within.

Shooting through my front window, screen and all, catching the finishing pass in the field across the road. A Case IH 9230 track with a 16 row corn head can really shell the corn. The corn was unloaded on the go into a couple of grain carts. The John Deere 8345 R in the foreground is attached to an 1,100 bushel Kinzy 1040 grain cart with 36 inch tracks. Mostly hidden from view is a John Deere 8360 RT (tracks) with a 1,400 bushel J&M cart also equipped with 36 inch tracks. The corn was hauled form the field by a small fleet of semis.
I would say that this operation is just a little bigger than the norm for our area, but not nearly as big as some that operate with two or three combines.

I walked in between the plates of the earth and saw Iceland expand. I could feel the energy being released from the earth.
Taken in Þingvellir.
Trying out the Filters For Photos app. It's cute, but rather basic. It also doesn't pass EXIF info, meaning I had to combine the edited image with the original in Photoshop.
After a quick turn around, Linda heads back up the field. The swaths were cut a while ago on areas that were lodged because of the rain.

The crop is over ripe. The ground is wet and soft. Despite fitting larger tyres the combine keeps getting bogged down.
Polish combine Bizon Z056 had been produced since 1976, in FMŻ’ fabric in Płock. It is the most popular combine in Poland.
Chłodnie kominowe zazwyczaj kojarzone są z imponującym widokiem elektrowni cieplnych. Jednakże istnieją ich mniejsze "siostry", pełniące tą samą funkcję w różnych dziedzinach przemysłu. Przedstawiona tutaj chłodnia jest ostatnią spośród niegdyś istniejących trzech bliźniaczych budowli na terenie Elektrociepłowni Zabrze. Zadaniem chłodni było schłodzenie wody odbierającej ciepło w skraplaczach turbin kondensacyjnych, zainstalowanych we wspomnianej Elektrociepłowni, co było podyktowane przystosowaniem urządzeń do pracy niezależnie od systemu ciepłowniczego. Stąd elektrociepłownia mogła pełnić funkcję elektrowni stabilizującej lokalną sieć energetyczną. Różnorodność chłodni kominowych wynika z ich wydajności, z jaką są w stanie schłodzić odpowiednią ilość wody. Mniejsze chłodnie kominowe, o wydajności do 10 tysięcy metrów sześciennych na godzinę zwykle miały konstrukcję szkieletową, gdzie nieopłacalne było wznoszenie ciężkich, żelbetowych płaszczów. Chłodnie typu szkieletowego charakteryzują się lekką i prostą konstrukcją, złożoną z kratownicy drewnianej lub stalowej oraz płaszcza, wykonanego ze wspomnianych wyżej materiałów. Niezwykle interesujące chłodnie w wykonaniu z drewna jeszcze do niedawna stanowiły krajobraz niektórych polskich zakładów. Do dziś taką można spotkać w Koksowni Jadwiga oraz Koksowni Makoszowy w Zabrzu, lecz ta ostatnia już dogorywa, a ciekawostką jest fakt, że stanowi ona jedyną pozostałość po wspomnianym zakładzie. Chłodnie kominowe szkieletowe można było spotkać bardzo często pośród zabudowy kopalń węgla kamiennego, hut, małych elektrociepłowni bądź zakładów z innych branż, jak chemicznej. Analizując konstrukcje różnych chłodni szkieletowych, zwłaszcza ze starych zdjęć można zauważyć, jakie prezentują one bogactwo kształtów. Najprostszym typem są chłodnie o kwadratowym przekroju, ale cała typologia obejmuje obiekty o przekroju wielokątnym, nawet do 12 kątów. Niektóre chłodnie o konstrukcji szkieletowej posiadały płaszcz hiperboloidalny, czego przykładem były pięć fascynujących chłodni, nieistniejących już zresztą w Elektrowni Halemba w Rudzie Śląskiej. Całe szczęście udało mi się taką hiperboloidę uwiecznić, ale będzie to przedstawione w przyszłości. Osobiście uwielbiam widok tych ciekawych, filigranowych wręcz obiektów, stanowiących nieodzowny element krajobrazu ciężkiego przemysłu w Europie. Niestety, tych piękności już jest coraz mniej, gdyż jak nie likwidacja, to zastępowanie ich małymi, ale wydajnymi chłodniami wentylatorowymi przesądziło o ich losie na dobre.
