In a wicked display of smoke and sound, MRL #4400 emerges out of the west portal of Bozeman Tunnel after successfully scaling the pass. The current tunnel was completed by the Northern Pacific in 1945, replacing the original 1884 bore.
For quite a few years this bird, a Common Yellowthroat, was my nemesis bird. I saw the occasional few but had never gotten a picture of one. Between two outings in the last month or so, I have been able to capture a few half decent shots, plus saw more this day at the marsh than ever before!
Who like you could be so free,
with that slow and calm freedom
with which you are forming!
You remain, but you are renewed,
you are well rooted, but you grow,
and you conquer the sky without defeat,
owner of your beginning and your ends.

Some days I can't move forward
Not gonna let it push me over
But I will conquer
It ain't easy but it's almost over
This heart was made to wander
But I will conquer

My hometown, Schoonhoven, has a moat. In early days, it enclosed the old city center, as a protection against intruders. Together with the city walls it was almost impossible to conquer the city.
Nowadays, part of the moat is gone, but a small part of it is still be visible. Even the star-shaped form is visible on maps.
Almost five years ago, the counsil of Schoonhoven agreed to construct a bandstand on the water. It forms a stage for a broad spectrum of music bands. From the adjacent park, you have a perfect view on the bandstand and you can enjoy the atmosphere.
This photo is taken from across the moat, in the direction of the park, the bandstand and the Great St. Bartholomew Church of Schoonhoven.

Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

There was no end to the world, or so everyone thought. Something dark was weaving in a distant place, beyond the fields and above the burrows was a rabbit with the airs of a great lord.
He manipulated the lives of those who lived in the small iridescent world.
Ah, so much color... it would end soon.

El hombre de los ojos
atormentados,
que ha mirado mil auroras del mar
desde las grandes proas,
tiene el secreto
de las neblinas, las compactas y húmedas neblinas;
tiene el secreto de las claridades,
de las muy anchas, de las ilimitadas claridades
que estallan como granizadas
sobre los barcos clavados y desclavados
en los planos soleados de los días.
¡Los barcos que alzan sus ojos en la noche
cual surcos conmovidos, ardientes y sedientos
de las semillas
de los cielos lejanos!

Nature conquers, as this dredger in Bombay Beach, CA is being eaten by salt. Lomography Sprocket Rocket.
All women are born strong;
warriors,
fighters,
conquerors,
queens,
though life can weaken
break down their spirit
break down their mind.
but it cannot touch
the core of our nature
it remains with us
it is entrenched within
bored deep,
at any time we choose
we can awaken what lies dormant
we can rouse that which sleeps.
Comme un vol de gerfauts hors du charnier natal,
Fatigués de porter leurs misères hautaines,
De Palos, de Moguer, routiers et capitaines
Partaient, ivres d’un rêve héroïque et brutal.
Ils allaient conquérir le fabuleux métal
Que Cipango mûrit dans ses mines lointaines,
Et les vents alizés inclinaient leurs antennes
Aux bords mystérieux du monde occidental.
Chaque soir, espérant des lendemains épiques,
L’azur phosphorescent de la mer des Tropiques
Enchantait leur sommeil d’un mirage doré ;
Où, penchés à l’avant des blanches caravelles,
Ils regardaient monter en un ciel ignoré
Du fond de l’Océan des étoiles nouvelles.
José Maria de Heredia (1893)
A revisit of a very old build. Definitely a more accurate model in terms of shaping and scale, really happy with the hull and the turret isn’t too bad in my opinion. I was really happy with how the double angle turned out on the front glacis. The suspension was kind of daunting but I think I was able to get a lot of detail and good spacing for the wheels. Really wanted to get more of the turret details but not including them helped keep the shaping consistent. Hopefully I can continue doing some bigger projects, might revisit the e-100 and actually finish it lol, we shall see.
