... is great fun. If you have found the first, you can't stop picking them up from the beach. And another and another and another and so on ... :-)
Am Strand nach Olivinen zu suchen, ist ein großer Spaß. Einmal angefangen, kann man nicht mehr aufhören. Und noch einen, und noch einen, und noch einen, und so weiter ... :-)

World War I, also known as the First World War, the Great War and the War To End All Wars, was a global military conflict which took place primarily in Europe from 1914 to 1918. Over 40 million casualties resulted, including approximately 20 million military and civilian deaths. The conflict had a decisive impact on the history of the 20th century.
The Entente Powers, led by France, Russia, Great Britain, and later Italy (from 1915) and the United States (from 1917), defeated the Central Powers, led by the Austro-Hungarian, German, and Ottoman Empires. Russia withdrew from the war after the revolution in 1917.
The fighting that took place along the Western Front occurred along a system of trenches, breastworks, and fortifications separated by an area known as no man's land. These fortifications stretched 475 miles and defined the war for many. On the Eastern Front, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate, though the scale of the conflict was just as large as on the Western Front. The Middle Eastern Front and the Italian Front also saw heavy fighting, while hostilities also occurred at sea, and for the first time, in the air.
The war caused the disintegration of four empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman and Russian. Germany lost its colonial empire and states such as Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Yugoslavia gained independence. The cost of waging the war set the stage for the breakup of the British Empire as well and left France devastated for more than a generation.
World War I marked the end of the world order which had existed after the Napoleonic Wars, and was an important factor in the outbreak of World War II

Following a suggestion by Tommy this orginal picture has been reworked with two added textures and filtered black and white partly as an experiment, for fun and also to compare the differences and general feeling between the two
Pvt. Kristopher Orr, tank driver, Company C, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, uses a pick mattock to dig a trench, Aug. 19. Orr helped build one of three log crib walls, or retaining walls, to help prevent sediment and debris from traveling down the stream during heavy rain and potentially clogging water channels in Manitou Springs.

3 more people dead in Bangkok last night. The situation's only going to get worse before it gets better. God help them all if the yellow shirts go through with their threats to start counterprotesting if the government doesn't bring the red shirts under control.
Jimmy Dean, Link and Frank attacking the chicken I prepared for them - they never fight over food - they share well.
Sometimes I feel shy about posting pics of my twins. It's just too easy to take pictures that show "life" in my eyes - they just serve it up for me. I think I should have to work harder to take nice photos... ;)
The crew of a Wilmington & Western express passenger train digs furiously to free their little 4-4-0 from the fresh snow in which she has become mired, just short of the Greenbank Station. This was a 2011 photo charter organized by Lerro Productions and we had some unexpected photo ops before the charter even began. Eventually, a front-end loader was called in to plow the entire station area, and a diesel-electric locomotive was brought in to assist the train between photo locations. The show must go on, and as you'll see in subsequent photos, it surely did.
Face offs are a very physical part of hockey. Here Luke Johnson (37) squares off against Justin Kirkland (19) while Kevin Lankinen (30) keeps his eyes on the puck.
