This is the main track to Mount Kosciuszko just before it hits Rawsons pass. In summer with Thredbo top chairlift only 6.5kms away it can be packed. In winter in perfect weather we saw 5 other people all day.
I took the day off and we went on a hike in Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, AZ, just east of Phoenix. Such cowboy country. The light was crap in this shot, but I didn't have a lot of choice given the position of the sun and position of the scenery. Not to mention, Jasper was not much in the mood for posing today. He just wanted to get on down the trail.

A Bar-headed goose (Anser indicus) was framed moments before the landing to join its friends on ground. It was not easy at all to capture from such a close in full frame. I had to crawl with my heavy tele in hand for 20 meters in the thorny ground camouflaged like a reptile. I gave my level best effort to get the desired. I reached their resting ground and all of a sudden all actions started as reward. They are the champion of the air indeed. They migrate across the highest peak of the World - Mount Everest. This trans-Himalayan migrant comes from Northern Europe and Mongolia to India in winter. They are really gorgeous and intelligent creatures on Earth. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.
G543 reaches the peak of the Great Dividing Range as 9340 from Westall. From here it beings the decent down into Heathcote Junction station, before practically rolling the entire way the Kilmore East Hanson Quarry where it will load.
The previous day, H1 and XR558 were the pairing and I was still hoping to catch said combination.... No dice.

We made our way up on the right side of this sandstone fin and made our way down on the left side after we had reached the top. Not an easy feat.
On 2nd July 1990 the peace in Gillingham is briefly disturbed by 50009 Conqueror as it accelerates away from it's stop in the Dorset town. The service was the 09:00 Yeovil to Waterloo.
Thanks to a little friendly advice a long sought photo finally came to fruition. Here a hil run takes loads up the 2% grade, a very impressive thing to witness.

Looking towards Warwick Castle from the roof of the Grade I Listed Collegiate Church of St Mary, in Warwick, Warwickshire.
Warwick Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument in recognition of its status as a "nationally important" archaeological site or historic building, and is a Grade I listed building. It is built on a sandstone bluff on a bend of the River Avon in Warwick Warwickshire. The river, which runs below the castle on the east side, has eroded the rock the castle stands on, forming a cliff and natural defences.
An Anglo-Saxon burh was established on the site in 914; with fortifications instigated by Ethelfleda, daughter of Alfred the Great. The burh she established was one of ten which defended Mercia against the marauding Danes. Its position allowed it to dominate the Fosse Way, as well as the river valley and the crossing over the River Avon. Though the motte to the south-west of the present castle is now called "Ethelfleda's Mound", it is in fact part of the later Norman fortifications, and not of Anglo-Saxon origin.
Following the Norman Conquest William the Conqueror built a castle on the site of the burgh. The castle's position made it strategically important in safeguarding the Midlands against rebellion as William advanced with his army northwards. William appointed Henry de Beaumont, the son of a powerful Norman family, as constable of the castle and in 1088, Henry de Beaumont was made the first Earl of Warwick.
During the 12th century, King Henry I was suspicious of Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick. To counter the earl's influence, Henry bestowed Geoffrey de Clinton with a position of power rivalling that of the earl.
The original wooden motte-and-bailey castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most recognisable examples of 14th century military architecture. It was used as a stronghold until the early 17th century, when it was granted to Sir Fulke Greville by James I in 1604. Sir Fulke Greville converted it to a country house. It was owned by the Greville family, who became earls of Warwick in 1759, until 1978 when it was bought by the Tussauds Group.
In May 2007 Tussauds was purchased by Merlin Entertainments who continue to operate the castle on a lease, having sold the freehold to Nick Leslau's Prestbury Group in July 2007.
That was a joke. I spent my 20s and early 30s climbing in the Tetons and Yosemite, so am well aware what a real climb is. And I once summitted Popocatépetl in Mexico at 17,802 feet. This was just a hike, really.
The summit of that little hill, marked with a Flickr Note, is about 1,850 feet.
I've been working on this helmet for a few months now, mostly because I procrastinate. :P But it's finally done!
I think I'm gonna add some more weathering, but for the most part, it's completed! I'm super happy with how it came out.
The entire helmet is made from EVA foam, and the rivets are googly eyes.
My paint job is some of my best IMO. Which was a dark silver base and a lot of black and brown washes on top of that.
This is for my Conqueror costume which I want to complete by November, which is when my local comic con will be happening.
A huge Thank You goes to Kyle from Regrettable Props for so generously giving out his templates! If I hadn't used his template for the face plate, my helmet wouldn't have looked nearly this good. So go check him out on Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/cascade4821/featured
That's pretty much it, let me know what you think.

Love conquers Hate...that is the main theme in Romeo and Juliet. At the end of this tragedy, we see that a feud that lasted centuries has actually been conquered by the love they share for each other. Their souls are joined for eternity...in the name of love.

Leaf-rolling Weevils (Paratrachelophorus sp., Attelabidae)
This odd configuration of leaf-rolling weevils had been adopted as they sheltered on the underside of a leaf during the middle of the day. I have particularly observed this species before in social groups separate from mating pairs.
They shared this shelter with the pitiful remnants of a Lepidopteran caterpillar alongside its advancing conqueror - a Ichneumonid parasitoid wasp cocoon (on the left side of the image).

(A flying wedge is a configuration created from a body moving forward in a triangular formation. This V-shaped arrangement began as a successful military strategy in ancient times when infantry units would move forward in wedge formations to smash through an enemy's lines. This principle was later used by Medieval European armies, as well as modern armed forces, which have adapted the V-shaped wedge for armored assault.
In modern times the effectiveness of a flying wedge means it is still employed by civilian police services for riot control. It has also been used in some sports, although the use of wedges is banned due to the danger it poses to defenders.)
Luton in Bedfordshire
The town originates from when the Saxons conquered Bedfordshire in the 6th century. They created a farm or settlement called a tun by the river Lea. Many of the people of Medieval Luton lived by farming, at least part-time but there was a market in the town, and it acted as a focal point for the surrounding villages. By the time of the Domesday Book ‘Loitone’ probably had a population of 800. Most villages only had populations of 100 or 150. Later in the Middle Ages, the population of Luton probably rose to around 1,500.
As well as a market Medieval Luton had a fair. A fair was like a market but it was held only once a year. Luton’s fair was held for 1 week in August and it would attract sellers from as far away as London. After 1338 Luton had a second fair in October.
In 1336 there was a great fire in Luton which destroyed much of the town. Fire was a constant danger in those days because most buildings were made of wood with thatched roofs. However, if they burned they could be easily rebuilt. Luton soon recovered from the disaster.
In the 16th century, a brick-making industry grew up in Luton. Until then most houses were of wood but in the 16th century, many people re-built their houses in brick. In the 17th century, a straw hat-making industry began. In the 18th century, it came to dominate Luton.
During the civil wars of the 17th century, there were two skirmishes in Luton. The first occurred in 1645 when some royalists entered Luton and demanded money from the townspeople. Parliamentary soldiers came and in the ensuing fight four royalists were killed and 22 were captured. A second skirmish occurred in 1648 when a royalist army passed through Luton. A group of stragglers was caught by parliamentary soldiers in an inn on the corner of Bridge Street, most of the royalists escaped but nine were killed.
