Yeah, I've already posed this one, but it's rendered this time! And I could possibly make another render of it to show how it opens and what it has on its back.
My LEGO display of part of the Battle of Hoth, which was displayed as part of the Brick.ie display at Kildare County Show in Athy, Ireland on 18 June 2017.
The rebel base and power generator are my own design. The AT-ATs are designed by raskolnikov (one built by davenocheese). The snowspeeders are based on brickdoctor's design.
This shot was taken at Valras Plage during our autumn holidays in the south od france. I used a Haida ND3 and a Lee ND Grad Filter.
Shivering Sands Maunsell Army Fort, in the Thames Estuary.
Built to defend London against aerial attack in WW2, the fort housed an anti-aircraft battery.
Now lying derelict and home only to sea birds
Taken from the same place as my previous shot. F11 for 200 seconds at ISO 350 with ten stop B&W filter and Lee 0.9ND soft grad.
People have been asking where it was taken from. The location is Torness Power Station in Scotland
Will need to revisit this spot when the tide is higher to get a better shot. I can also see if I can get a better comp on this too
A British 4.7 inch Quick Fire gun peers out at the mouth of the 'narrows" at St. John's harbour. Two of these guns were set up in bunkers here at Fort Amherst during World War Two. Hard to believe they were never removed. The forts have deteriorated over the years but make for an interesting if not slightly dangerous visit from time to time. Not the first time I`ve shot these, but trying new gear, techniques etc. St. John`s, Newfoundland.

Problem with the Defence Expo was that there were long gaps in between any action so you needed to find something interesting to look at.
KLAX (Los Angeles International Airport) - 20 Aug 2016
After a brief stopover from Japan, "Japan Air Force Zero-Zero-One" climbs out from RWY 24L en route to Rio de Janeiro International Airport (GIG/SBGL).
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe left for Brazil on Saturday to attend the closing ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, as Japan steps up preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games.
During his visit to Brazil, Abe will hold talks with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, in which they are likely to confirm cooperation to ensure the success of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
Abe also plans to meet with Japanese athletes participating in the Rio Games, such as wrestler Saori Yoshida, the captain of the country's athletic delegation, who took silver in the women's 53-kilogram final Thursday.
In a bid to bolster the friendship between Japan and Brazil, Abe is slated to have a meeting with Japanese-Brazilians living in Rio de Janeiro.
The closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics will be held at the Maracana Stadium on Sunday.

We decided to visit La Defence and found this weird 'tunnel' from there. I held monopod with SB-600 with other hand and tried to have steady shot with other. Assistant would have been worth of million.
Model, MUA: MM #1779030
Info: Bare SB-600 cam R, triggered with Nikon CLS.

These images were taken during the fourth week of July, 2016.
And we're back to the Rehills/Slang section -- directly opposite La Vallee.
A little over 4 weeks earlier, this had been a barren stretch of the bank carefully contoured and finished. They sprayed high-grade solution of plant enzymes.
A drop of rain. A burst of sun.
And . . voila!
God's own pasture. In glorious yellow/green technicolour.
Attending a reception at the British Defense Attaché's house in DC with my beautiful wife and several other wonderful members of the trans military community.
These concrete blocks seen at low tide on Lossiemouth West beach were part of wartime coastal defences erected during the second World War. They are reminders of less peaceful times and are to be found all along the beach at Moray. They provide a fascinating insight into how Britain hoped to defend itself in the event of a seaborne invasion during World War II. Covesea Skerries light is visible to the left of the picture!
