Even in Hell, the worst of the worst can look forward 'fair treatment'. As far as the Devil's concerened that means 5 minutes with your lawyer (who can't really help you) then being thrown back into the pit of eternal fire.

This defence boom was built right across the Thames Estuary from Minster on Sheppey to Shoeburyness in Essex. You can find more detail about it on this website.
Looks like the Osawa 80-205mm lens has some pincushioning at certain focal lengths! Nice curvy horizon... Also, I wonder if I over-agitated this batch a little, the contrast and grain seems harsher than the previous batch. I still like it though.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken on the last full weekend of October 2014.
Throughout the days, it's a constant 2-way stream of Volvo trucks -- some bringing varying grades of hardcore down to the riverside to build up the rear of the steel wall - or removing previously laid temporary access shelf on the outside of the steel wall.
The guys are now actively rebuilding the riverbed itself: digging out the previous 'temporary' core material, and replacing with large, profiled boulders.
The intention being to (a) provide better habitat for fish stock, and (b) seek to slow the speed of river flow during periods of heavy rain and high river levels.
A neat job is being completed to landscape the ground in front of the apartments -- backfilling with stone and soil.
A protective guide-rail is being welded, in stages, to the top of the protruding steel wall, prior to capping with cement.

Cannon on the ramparts
Den Bosch's C17th pentagonal citadel with ramparts, was built 1637 where the rivers Aa and Dommel meet the Dieze.
he Citadel's nickname, De Papenbril (The Papist Glasses), is due to the fact that the building was created to keep an eye on the Catholics of Den Bosch, who were still loyal to the former ruler of the area, the King of Spain. So the canons were not only aimed at the enemy, but also at the town's own inhabitants! In later centuries the building also functioned as a military prison, a barracks and an artists' workshop, before it was transformed into the Brabant Historical Information Centre (BHIC).

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of October 2014. We tended to loose sight of the fact that (more) critically important has been on-going near the Silverbridge site, adjacent to the N11 carriageway.
Bank stabilisation works involving excavation, repair and building of a support wall structure are being carried out by JONS Construction also on behalf of the National Roads Authority.
We would occasionally catch sight of this work in the distance. One Friday afternoon I took a trip up there, walking back to the site along the side of the carriageway! Recognised some old faces. Quite an impressive little piece of structural engineering.
Having built a retaining concave wall, backfilled for solidity, they were also drilling, fixing and sealing ground anchors to pin the entire structure together.
Israeli Soldiers from the Givati Brigade training
The Givati Brigade (Hebrew: חֲטִיבַת גִּבְעָתִי, literally "Hill Brigade" or "Highland Brigade" in English) is an infantry brigade of the Israel Defense Forces, and serves as its amphibious force. Givati soldiers are designated by purple berets. The Brigade's symbol is the fox, alluding to Shualei Shimshon (שועלי שמשון, lit. Samson's Foxes), a unit in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Tryouts For Nahal's Special Forces
Fresh into the army, IDF soldiers tryout to become an elite soldier in Nahal's special unit, the Gadsar. Soldiers are put through a couple days of intense mental and physical exercises all while having no sense of time and when the tryouts will end. Commanders leading the tryouts refer to each soldier as a number. At the end of the tryouts, the commanders gather and choose the best for the Gadsar. November 28, 2012
