more abstract work for my photography class.
although i think maybe this one is a bit too abstract.
i'll see what my teacher thinks.
Part of the Naval contingent in the 2023 King's Birthday Flypast was Leonardo Wildcat HMA.1 ZZ375 leading Merlin HM.2s ZH843 & ZH862
The latter are used for Anti-Submarine work and Airborne Early Warning duties when the 'Crow's Nest' side-mounted Radar is attached externally
Unlike the earlier Sea King designated versions, the Navy opted to have a their new AEW system available to fit to a number of Merlins kitted out with the necessary fittings to aid fleet flexibility

Milano real
(Milvus milvus)
Nuestro país cuenta con una considerable población reproductora de esta mediana rapaz, de coloración rojiza, cola ahorquillada y vuelo extraordinariamente ágil, al tiempo que acoge un importante contingente invernante de aves europeas. A pesar de su aparente abundancia, la población de milano real ha experimentado un acusado descenso en los últimos años. Durante la invernada, esta rapaz de tendencias bastante carroñeras forma dormideros comunales situados en bosquetes o pequeños sotos fluviales.
Descripción
Clasificación
Orden Falconiformes; familia Accipitridae
Longitud 60-66 cm
Envergadura 154-170 cm
Identificación
En el plumaje de esta mediana rapaz dominan los tonos rojizos, profusamente rayados de oscuro en las regiones ventrales y con un característico aspecto orlado en el dorso debido a los bordes pálidos de las coberteras alares. La cabeza y el cuello, por su parte, presentan un tono gris pálido surcado por finas estrías muy oscuras. En vuelo resulta inconfundible, no solo por la extraordinaria habilidad con la que ejecuta todo tipo de maniobras y regates, sino por poseer una silueta característica, en la que destacan una cola profundamente ahorquillada, de color rojizo anaranjado, y unas largas alas acodadas y provistas de una mancha blanca muy visible. Cuando está posado, también resulta fácil diferenciarlo de otras rapaces de tamaño similar, además de por la forma de la cola, por poseer una figura bastante estilizada. Los jóvenes son similares a los adultos, aunque con una coloración general más clara y uniforme, sin el característico tono grisáceo de la cabeza y con la cola más corta y menos ahorquillada.
Canto
A veces, emite un sonido similar a un maullido algo aflautado, seguido de notas ascendentes y descendentes.

*********************************
In early July, we ventured out to Spearfish, SD for a family reunion with a large contingent of my extended family.
When the reunion ended, we drove back into Rapid City to spend a final night at the Alex Johnson hotel … and were taken by surprise when the streets surrounding the hotel were blocked off, forcing us to park a couple blocks away and haul our suitcases down to the hotel’s front entrance. It turns out that the streets had been blocked for a vintage car show — which consisted of dozens of brightly-painted, highly-buffed and polished old cars parked along the streets all around the hotel. After we had checked in, I went out to photograph the artist’s alley in more detail than had been possible when we first arrived a couple days later; and then, for good measure, I walked around the block a couple times,and photographed all of the fancy cars.

Camogli is a fishing village and tourist resort located on the west side of the peninsula of Portofino, on the Golfo Paradiso at the Riviera di Levante, in the Metropolitan City of Genoa, Liguria, northern Italy. As of 31 December 2011 its population was of 5,455. The name Camogli is of disputed but ancient origins. Camogli is one of the largest part of the Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino, and a part of the Portofino Marine Protected Area.
In the late Middle Ages Camogli was a considerable seaport. In its heyday, its fleet consisted of hundreds of Tall Ships, and it was called the "city of a thousand white sails". In 1798 the city hosted a large contingent of Napoleon's fleet, which was then beaten in Egyptian waters of the Nile by Admiral Nelson. A prestigious naval college, Cristoforo Colombo, was founded in Camogli in 1874.
In 1880 the former fishing village had (in a population of 12,000) 500 registered ship captains. Camogli now lives mainly from tourism and is known for its colorful houses that line the beach. The house colors once helped the fishermen of Camogli find the way back to their port.
So previously on a picture of Robertson Buses Olympian 7 I mentioned some deckers had been borrowed to act as spare cover, while the summer excursions and beginning of the school term overlapped – plus at least one of you spotted the Stagecoach Local liveried bus hiding about the RB depot. Well that can only mean one thing, right?
It does appear RB has raided the Stagecoach East Midlands reject cupboard, and drafted in a few ex-Lincolnshire machines to temporarily strengthen the fleet! I suppose it was inevitable some former RoadCar/Stagecoach buses would make it into Robertson Buses eventually, seeing as I’ve now got a growing number of them. The Frequento President needs no introduction at this point, and for the time being is ‘on loan’ to the model fleet.
And then there’s the FX06 Gemini, which as yet doesn’t have any Stagecoach names added because if it’s been loaned to RB it doesn’t need them... essentially so it’s in “as withdrawn” condition with the fleet names stripped off (although that didn’t stop me putting the InterConnect 56 blinds in it). Technically it’s still a WIP because there’s a few other bits I need to sort on it, but it’s destined to become a full representation of 16939 in Local livery.
I suppose the main question is why have I done a RoadCar Gemini, in Local livery of all things? Well first of all the standard OOC release Coastal Connect Gemini isn’t something I’m likely to get any time soon – finding the Vyking model for a decent price took long enough – so I wanted to do my own FX06 where I could pick my own fleet numbers and livery. I considered InterConnect purple, or Beachball, but part of me wanted to have a crack at painting Local just for the challenge.
The real life counterparts of both of these have long since been disposed of by Stagecoach, with photographic evidence of the Gemini having been scrapped, and presumably the President is no more either. Here I guess they got sold off or something, and with the President in full Frequento guise a suitable story could be it was restored to its Hull condition by Hull preservationists who live in Hull and like Hull things.
As for the Gemini I could say it’s like 528 and not technically part of the fleet, just owned by a RB staff for preservation and sometimes used as a spare. Although Stagecoach probably would sue them if it ran in service, and besides nobody in their right mind would preserve a bus in Stagecoach Local... right? Whatever the case, it's here now.

The first major contingent of Presbyterians to arrive in Queensland came as part of JD Lang's immigration scheme in the late 1840s. The first Presbyterian services were conducted in a house at Kangaroo Point until 1851 when a small timber church was opened at South Brisbane. For the benefit of North Brisbane residents, services were also conducted in the School of Arts building on the corner of Queen and Creek streets.
In 1854 the congregation purchased three allotments in Ann Street and four years later a simple stone building, erected by Joshua Jeays for a cost of £960, was opened and became known as the Ann Street Presbyterian Church. A fire on the 21st of December 1871 destroyed all but the stone walls of the church. It was rebuilt, partly with stone from the earlier church, during 1872 - 1873. The church was formally reopened on the 26th of October 1873.
In 1897 major alterations and additions were undertaken. Designed by AB Wilson, the work included the addition of buttresses, double transepts, a basement, the construction of stone steps and fence at the front, plastering of the exterior, and the installation of a rose window in the front wall. Further work was undertaken to the interior in 1903 to accommodate and a new organ, and between 1903 - 1914 a third transept was added.
In 1936 a two storeyed extension, adjoining the northern end of the transepts, was built. Designed by DFW Roberts it comprised hall and offices. As well as offices for the parish it also contained the central offices of the Presbyterian Church in Queensland. Buttressing was also added to either side of the front of the building to match that on the later transepts. This work was completed for a cost of £6,000.
During the mid 1960s, the future of the church was threatened when the Brisbane City Council sought to acquire the site as part of the redevelopment of King George Square. Church and community pressure, however, ensured the survival of the building.

It has been three days since we were run off the road into the Wither Woods. I can see why our Rego was apprehensive on getting involved on the continent. What should have been a simple trip to the Avalonian capital has turned into a slaughter in the dark inside these woods. Death lurks in these trees. My contingent of solders has all but vanished and I know it is not cowardice or desertion.
I fear if I fall asleep, I may never wake, but I have not slept since we were attacked on that first night; I can fight it back no longer. We’ve situated camp on this crag over a stream; we will be safe on two sides, at least. Hirbod has the first watch. May his eyes, and ears, not fail us tonight.
-Sicuro
After weeks of no word from Sicuro or the contingent of men he led to Avalonia, rumor made its way to the Rego of Varlyrio. This whisper was enough to convince his minster of War and himself that isolation from the continent was prudent. Varlyrio would not send troops to the Battle of Historica.
This is my entry into the Guilds of Historica Book III Challenge V: Category A (which takes place in Book II). This lost diary entry explains what happened to the contingent of troops sent by the Rego of Varlyrio. Their disappearance solidifies his view that Varlyrio should stay out of the distant war.

A participating contingent and their adaptation of the Bagobo Rice Cycle Dance of the Bagobo Tribe of Davao del Sur. This dance is about the planting and harvesting of rice.
"The Kadayawan Festival is an annual festival in the city of Davao in the Philippines. Its name derives from the friendly greeting "Madayaw", from the Dabawenyo word "dayaw", meaning good, valuable, superior or beautiful. The festival is a celebration of life, a thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living.
Today, Kadayawan has transformed into a festival of festivals, with a number of spin-off festivals in the region. The festival honors Davao’s artistic, cultural and historical heritage, its past personified by the ancestral “lumads”, its people as they celebrate on the streets, and its floral industry as its representatives parade in full regalia in thanksgiving for the blessings granted on the city. A celebration that interfaces the three aspects: tribal; industrial and; arts and entertainment. The festivities are highlighted with floral floats, street-dancing competitions and exhibits that showcases the island's tourism products and services." - Wikipedia.

The contingent from Carmen was one of eight groups which derived inspiration from the Yakan tribe of Basilan who sports distinctive face painting. They won big: 2nd in the Free Interpretation Category, Best in Costume (Free Interpretation) and third in the Streetdancing Category.
