With the UFA forces stretched thinly across the southern African plateau a desperate counter attack was needed. Following the unforeseen success of these attacks Eurasian forces were pushed back. Many high ranking, Eurasian officials were caught off guard and quickly found themselves behind enemy lines. The commander and chief of Eurasian forces in Africa quickly authorised the the evacuation of these vital pinheads. Carrying out these operations were the Eurasian special task force. Air dropped behind enemy lines under the cover of darkness, these teams were tasked with extracting, or if the situation became dire the assassination, of these vital assets. Throughout the course of these operations the Eurasian special task forces saw unparalleled success with only a few units being captured. Once such operation, despite initial success in recovering the asset, quickly went downhill with intel-aided UFA forces quickly surrounding the remote high altitude flight port where the operation was being carried out.

The abandoned Foundry was littered with dust and metal shavings! This large conveyor, with an extraction system appears to have been unused for many years.
We generally give Sock a puzzle toy every other day or so. He loves these toys because they're filled with treats and goodies so he really looks forward to them.
The thing is though, he's a one trick pony and his only way of solving the puzzle is to pick the toy up and then drop it.
It's usually fairly effective, but every once in a while a treat goes off trajectory and he loses it.
Well, last night he must have lost one of his snacks under the couch because he was fixated on trying to get under it (spoiler alert - he's too big). Scott took a look with the flashlight and couldn't see anything.
Sock disagreed.
So tonight, as the obsession continued, Scott decided to investigate and lifted the couch.
Sock was right and happily retrieved his much anticipated snack.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Poured all day and I needed a tooth pulled. Feeling just a tad under the weather. 😄 Puddle in the road outside my home and a plant in the dentist office.
Lydd-on-Sea is a modern village, mostly built after World War II, which consists mainly of bungalows built along the Dungeness coastal road south of Greatstone, Kent, England. The Southern Railway opened a railway station here in 1937 but was closed in 1967. Lydd-on-Sea is part of the ecclesiastical parish of Lydd, now several miles distant, which once had access to the sea.
An island in a lake (created by gravel extraction) slightly to the northwest of Lydd-on-Sea is the site of a collection of sound mirrors designed by Dr William Sansome Tucker, to detect the approach of enemy aircraft, in the years before radar had been developed.

The front fits two hard working M-tron security dudes side by side. I wanted to sit a gunner in the back but it turned out to be too tricky for my patience.

I've been wanting to have another go at creating a light orb so I set about making a rig and this was the 1st and only shot I got on location before I discovered my rig wasn't as robust as I thought, watch this space!!!
Skeet Shooting | view on black
My shooting buddies and I went skeet shooting today. I packed my break action 12 gauge shotgun, a few boxes of ammo, shell pouch, ear and eye protection, then headed to the skeet and trap range early. Along with the rest of my shooting gear was the other shooting gear.
After two rounds of American skeet and two rounds of Wobble skeet (one round of consists of 25 clays), I decided to do the other kind of shooting and was fortunate enough to get a few good shots.
Skeet shooting is one of the major types of clay shooting discipline. A variant of skeet called International skeet was introduced in the Olympics in 1968.

I wanted to capture the harsh daily reality of the Kawah Ijen sulfur miners while elevating their work through artistic composition. I chose this moment when the light piercing through the sulfur vapors created an almost surreal atmosphere, giving the scene both documentary and artistic dimensions. The composition emphasizes the miner's silhouette and his traditional clothing, which contrasts sharply with the hostile environment. By placing the subject in the center of a yellow vapor cloud, I aimed to create an image that tells both the raw beauty of the place and the extreme conditions in which these men work. The slightly downward perspective shows the rugged terrain and the worker's solitude in the face of the elements. My intention was to create an image that raises awareness about working conditions while paying tribute to the dignity of these miners.
I had the strong feeling of being alone when I captured this picture. I tried to transform this feeling to the viewer. I had never seen so often such a dense fog. So I felt lost when I went across the open meadow. When I spotted this lonely tree, the fog isolates it from the surroundings. The snow and the fog creates a cold atmosphere. Normally I don't like to use central composition, cause it often considered to be dull. But the asymmetric tree crown holds against this aspect. So I feel it fits perfectly. The central position gives the tree also the mayor subject. Everything surround becomes the content to be framing. Also I think it brings peace and harmony into the image.

This was pretty much the first complete set up for the book.
This early version was taken with a normal digital camera and the lighting was a bit off. A smoke machine produced the fog in the background, an idea we later dropped.
It took at least three attempts until we were happy; it was worth it but it involved a fair bit of swearing.
