So thought I'd snap a quick pic of these together now I have these new helmets, they complete my models for sure. Just used what I had at hand, photo ain't great..camera phone mixed with shooting white and black vehicles on limited time! I will swap it for better later all being well. Anyways another UN vehicle is in the works to add to this collection ; )

Perhaps helpful information for users of the Canon 1D series APS-H format cameras:
For some of Canons more modern EF-S lenses there are replacement EF mounts available to buy. The DIY mount conversion is easy, as there are only 6 small screws (4 for the bayonet; 2 for the contacts) holding the EF-S bayonet.
Additional advantage is the now metal mount, as there was always criticism for the plastic lens mounts.
I have successfully converted following EF-s lenses to EF mount:
Canon EF-S 10–18mm f/4.5–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H from ~12mm and even full frame from 14mm upwards)
Canon EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H from ~22mm)
Canon EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM (covers APS-H at all focal lengths)

Green plants have the ability to make their own food. They do this through a process called photosynthesis, which uses a green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar. Plants use glucose together with nutrients taken from the soil to make new leaves and other plant parts. The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen, which is released by the plant into the air.
Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light. That particular light wavelength is reflected from the plant, so it appears green.

Forces from Ulandus are patrolling the jungles of the Nestlands. Troops loyal to the High Council, armed with weapons from Mpya Stedor, have staged an ambush here. Their prey, a pair of Leander heavy infantrymen in the Ulandus army patrolling along a small stream has walked straight into the trap. The peace and quiet of the forest will soon break as sharp bolts pierce the shiny Ulandian armor and color the stream with Leander blood...

Ácoma Pueblo - "Sky City" -- just a magical place. Built atop a great mesa for defensive purposes, Ácoma has been continuously occupied since the 13th century. A dramatic battle between the Ácomas and Oñate's forces occurred here in 1599. The mission church of San Esteban was built between 1629 and 1641, and today looks much as described by Fray Francisco Atanasio Dominquez in 1776. National Register of Historical Places. Composition a la Ansel Adam's 1941 photo.

NJT 4502, in a colorful Armed Forces livery, catches the last few seconds of light as they head through Harrison. This train is headed for the Raritan Valley Line and is likely either a late 5445 or the 5747 positioning itself for a later departure. Raritan Valley Line trains originate at Newark Penn Station and typically use these ALP-45DPs.

Whilst trying to capture a plain & clean seascape I noticed these 2 people standing together in the distance so I re-composed this shot to show the large scale of nature against these 2 small distant lovers. They both look so tiny & overwhelmed against nature’s forces
Hope you enjoy! Please favourite & add me as a contact to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you

Well, in previous years I wrote under similar pictures about "once in a decade event" and "very rare circumstances". I guess that I can't use this words any longer as this is the third year in a row that the lighthouse is frozen. Anyway... I still love this icy place.
Attention all Nova League Members,
the inner circle has received more and more reports of casualties among Nova League associates in the last few weeks. Research into this matter has shown that most casualties were lower rank, inexperienced members, who had moved on Centuri military facilities. Apparently, the Centuri military has assembled special units, proficient in anti-terror operations, to counter Terran Empire attacks carried out by Nova League contractors. All novice Nova League members are highly advised to refrain from such contracts from this point on. Higher rank, experienced members are still free to carry out such missions, but should notice that there won’t be any reinforcements or rescue missions. The inner circle has gathered detail about the special forces’ ability and equipment. Detailed dossiers on all Centuri Special Forces branches will follow shortly.

Another fig off, this time against Custom Brick Builder and Carbon Builds. The theme was sci-fi soldiers and I though this would tie in perfectly with the storyline of Struggle for Klegon, a quite nice Lego RPG group back in the day.

The Morris LRC is part of the RAF Regiment, with the 2 soldiers at the very front and the one in the morris.
The Lads on the wing of a Hurricane tank buster are in the Desert Air Force, one is the Pilot and the rest keep the Hurricanes flying like the one in the air.
The pic is dark because of it was taken against the sun.
Feel free to add your self.

Shot on a cold day at Pearl Bay looking out to Pittwater near Sydney. i deliberately processed this image quickly to avoid over thinking and over processing which can dog me sometimes. I should add that I have used very minimal sharpening another previous processing failing of mine until recently. See what you all think?.

Military and Family members participating in Armed Forces Day / Army Birthday Celebration Parade.... Lawton, OK
If there's even a hint of rain on the horizon, these slot canyons should be avoided at all costs. The same forces that chisels the stone walls can quickly turn into a human blender. Even if it rains miles away, the water will collectively travel to the lowest point and turn into a freight train carrying a load of debris through these narrow passageways. Best to stay out of itâs path and enjoy the scenery in itâs wake.
"Manipulated". Taken from below the castle on a grey day, so I thought I would try and add some drama.
Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan of Caeo (c. 1341–1401) was a wealthy Carmarthenshire landowner who was executed in Llandovery by Henry IV of England in punishment for his support of Owain Glyndŵr's Welsh rebellion.
Until recently Llewelyn was little known even in his home area, but has become celebrated as a "Welsh Braveheart" after a campaign to construct a monument to him in Llandovery.
The main source for Llewelyn's life is Adam of Usk, who mentions him in his Chronicle as a "bountiful" member of the Carmarthenshire gentry who used "fifteen pipes of wine" yearly in his household (implying he was both wealthy and a generous host). He continues by stating that as a result of Llewelyn's support for the rebellion, Henry had him drawn, hung, eviscerated, beheaded and quartered before the gate of Llandovery castle on 9 October 1401 "in the presence of his eldest son" (it is slightly unclear whether Adam is referring to Henry's son or Llewelyn's son at this point). After his death his lands were granted to one of Henry's supporters, Gruffydd ap Rhys.
A more detailed version of the story suggests that Llewelyn was specifically charged with having deliberately led the English forces the wrong way while pretending to guide them to Glyndŵr. Adam, however, states only that Llewelyn "willingly preferred death to treachery". Llewelyn is also thought to have had two sons fighting in Glyndŵr's forces.
Pour tout vous avouer je sors une image en N&B tous les 2/3 ans ...
Ce jour là en Islande, la pluie tombait sur la plage de sable noir de Vik et il n'y avait aucune lumière.
Les mouvements d'eau étaient très jolis et le paysage malgré la pluie magnifique, je trouve donc que le N&B se prêtait vraiment bien à la situation.
J'attends vos avis :).
Bonne soirée à toutes et à tous et n'hésitez pas à partager l'image.
