The “Sword” (Herev) Battalion, comprised almost entirely of Druze soldiers, specializes in the Northern Command and is currently training in the Golan Heights.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the last week of October 2012, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed.
Gabions consist of steel ‘baskets’ filled with rock pieces. They are filled and then fixed together to provide protection and strength to the existing river bank. They allow ground water to flow through them which helps prevent waterlogging of the bank behind them. Existing examples of these can be seen (here) on the North bank to the rear of the La Vallee Apartments.
Long shallow versions of gabions, known as ‘mattresses’, are used to protect the edges of the river channel, particularly at bends in the river.
The recent surge of flood water has subsided, allowing working access to the river banks again.

This is an ingenious defence anemone which keeps itself safe thanks to the supplies from the tool shed.
On 8 April 2021, Defence delivered testing kits and masks to support the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) and Ministry of Defence in their domestic COVID-19 response. This package also includes hand sanitiser. Defence cooperation is a key pillar of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Australia and Indonesia. Defence and our Indonesian counterparts have a long history of cooperation in times of need. Building on supplies delivered in August 2020, this brings Defence’s COVID-19 support to Indonesia under the Defence Cooperation Program to $4 million.
Been thinking a lot about photography lately and how I don't seem to be having as much fun with it these days, even to the point where I have sold some of my stuff and was thinking of selling the rest.
I think it's partly because I fixated a bit too much on long exposure photography, which a lot of the time has to fit in around the tide times and weather conditions to get the ideal shot, which makes it a bit rigid (or maybe that's my approach to it ?)
As such, I would like to try some different stuff this year, and one of the things on my list will hopefully be a visit to the WHF in Kent to photograph some of the big cats. Just need a 300mm lens now :)
I imagine the occasional long exposure will still happen as well...

Alpinist Unit Winter of 2012
Every year during the winter season, the combat soldiers of the Alpine Unit are dispatched to Mount Hermon, after having been trained to operate under extreme weather conditions. January 22, 2012.
The Alpine Unit is comprised of reserve soldiers that served in elite units during their regular service and who take part in intensive training days in Judea and Samaria and the northern border, particularly Mt. Hermon.
The unit carries out regional defense tactics, shooting while skiing at high speeds, snowmobiling, and riding Sno-Cats.
All of the reservists who serve in the Alpine unit are volunteers. The unit is highly selective and challenging to join.
The album features pictures of the reservists running drills in Mt. Hermon. The pictures include soldiers practicing skiing, climbing, shooting, tracking, and rehearsing rescue drills in conditions of heavy snow.
