The new building picture of Afghanistan's Ministry Of Defence

1st place in the DP Review black and white photo of the week (week 1).

  

An early morning shot of the beach defences at Happisburgh which are not doing the job as a lot more of the cliffs seem to have disappeared since we were last there although the cliffs do seem to consist of nothing more than mud and sand.

This is another shot taken right at the edge of the beach, just below the promenade at New Brighton.

Looking through concrete sea defence at Burwick Ferry Terminal South Ronaldsay Orkney.

"In January 2000 TE311 was delivered to RAF Coningsby for ‘spares recovery’ (along with Spitfire Mk XVI TB382, which was broken up for spares and struck off charge). Chief Technician Paul Blackah MBE decided that the aircraft merited a re-build to flying condition. This was started in October 2001, with a small team of engineers initially working on the aircraft in their own time, until official approval was received from the Ministry of Defence in 2007 to return TE311 to flying condition as part of the Flight"

The third 25 of my 2020 100x project, where x=plant defences and protection - all from home except the Horse Chestnut found nearby, more protection than defence with just a few prickles and spines...

Battered sea defences, Happisburgh.

Very often we're looking for pretty rocks or elegant piers for seascapes, but in this instance I liked the rugged pile of rocks with a chimney peeping over. This was from a cold and windy day in August 2011.

Happisburgh became a site of national archaeological importance in 2010 when flint tools over 800,000 years old were unearthed. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK.[3] In May 2013, a series of early human footprints were discovered on the beach at the site, providing direct evidence of early human activity at the site.[4]

 

Will return for another attemp at some point.

Titan Pipeline Defence

 

I joined the Octan Security Services straight out of the Spaceforce. After a four year tour on Earth's moon trying to keep the locals under control while resentment of Earth-gov control became endemic. The final uprising, caused by a Spaceforce ship crashing into a school bus was nasty and I saw things. Things no one should see, things I won't talk about.

So here I am on Titan, sixth moon of Saturn, where the rocks are made of water, hard as granite and the rivers and lakes are liquid hydrocarbons, methane and ethane, all the 'thanes' as Gunther puts it. Gunther is my boss here, he basically sits in the control room and tells us where the Meth-Roaches are swarming, he's okay, pretty messed up from stuff he saw on the moon too though.

Meth-Roaches? Yeah, well when humans got here to Titan there was no life, not even bacteria. Great for the oil companies of course, nothing for the hippies to protest about. The Mars settlers wanted to burn hydrocarbons to create an atmosphere, the oil companies had a nice new supply of them. All great, but 'life finds a way' as that old movie put it. The bacteria mutated first, but we weren't watching for that then the roaches first learned to cope with the intense cold, then somehow their mitochondrial DNA started to run on methane instead of oxygen. The scientists tell me it was probably from eating the bacteria. Then they took the moon for themselves, titanic Roaches on Titan. Almost funny.

Most of them eat the bacteria or each other, the problem is the pipelines are slightly warmer, so the bacteria grow more around them, the Methane Roaches (Meth-Roaches) chomp on it, lots of leaks follow.

So I'm a bug squisher! We can shoot them if there's good cause, but firing lasers has a small chance of igniting the landscape (if we hit a pocket of frozen oxygen) and the gattling-railgun is hard to get ammunition for, so we generally stamp on them, they crunch quite satisfyingly. The pays pretty good, too and there are no Lunar-citizens throwing IED's at me. In another five years when my contract is done I should be able to buy a house in an area of Earth where the environment is still reasonable or maybe Mars, lots of room on Mars. Life is good.

Fort Southwick is one of the forts found on Portsdown Hill, which overlooks the naval base of Portsmouth in the county of Hampshire, England.

 

Fort Southwick was built to defend the landward approaches to the naval base on the recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom which reported in 1860.

 

It was sold by the Ministry of Defence in July 2003 to the "Fort Southwick Company Limited", who intend to convert the barrack block into luxury apartments.

 

It has been a Grade I Listed Building since 1987.

Pan Asian troops have been inserted in Kanagawa because of the rumor that US troops were their way to Tokyo with the objective to make sure no American soldiers were left on Japanese soil. Scouts and small platoons were placed in buildings to scout for any American activity and to prevent enemy forces to secure the area. Platoon 36-B discovered what might be US troops in the Takashi tower and a special ops team have been sent to the tower for searching.
