This image was taken at Cape Solandar about 30 minutes south of Sydney Australia. I had the pleasure of leading a group of 10 seascape photographers from the Focus group -www.focusphotographers.org

 

This image was processed entirely in PS CC with some new techniques and this time I've focussed on the pastels. Shot on my Nikon D810 using a very long exposure,

  

Brendan is a amateur photographer based in Sydney Australia who loves exploring and shooting sea/andscapes/nightscapes in different areas sometimes with good mates other times by himself to improve his skills. I'm always after followers so don't be afraid to follow me on my photographic adventures.

  

'BREITLING WINGWALKERS' - 'SCARBOROUGH ARMED FORCES DAY' - 27th JUNE 201

A Maltese Special Forces Sniper rides in a Greek Navy Bell UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopter during a course of fire at floating targets during the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre (NMIOTC) Sniper Course in Souda Bay Greece, April 21, 2021. The course was designed to improve the accuracy of snipers engaging stable or moving targets from land, air, and naval vessels. This capability increases reliability and effectiveness from any domain to support NATO missions. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Patrik Orcutt)

The 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (French: 1er Régiment de Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine, 1er RPIMa) is one of three regiments (1er RPIMa, 13e Régiment de Dragons Parachutistes (13e RDP), 4e RHFS) in the French Army Special Forces Brigade (BFST).

 

The 1er RPIMa is one of Europe's most experienced special forces units, and has been constantly operationally deployed right from the beginning of its new role over thirty years ago.

 

It takes advantage of an exceptional location in Bayonne, in South Western France, which enables all sort of training (amphibious, mountain…), and the proximity of dedicated assets of the French Army's 4th Special Forces Helicopter Regiment (4e RHFS) and airborne school (ETAP), two establishments that are essential for its training and operations.

 

The list of its recent operational deployments indicates a worldwide commitment that ranges from Afghanistan, to Africa and the Balkans. The acknowledged expertise of the Regiment is such that in recent years, many prominent European countries[who?] have entrusted it with the evacuation of their nationals in war-torn countries. The trust these countries have has never been misplaced and the 1er RPIMa has safely whisked out of harm's way hundreds of EU and foreign nationals in recent years.

 

Similarly, from the beginning of its involvement in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, first in 2001 and again from 2003 onwards, the Regiment has won high praises. The commitment of its members has been rewarded several times by the American forces in the form of Bronze Stars, Army Commendations and Army Achievement Medals.[citation needed]

 

The high level of expertise attained by the 1er RPIMa also makes it a highly sought-after partner in the development of Special Forces units abroad and the Regiment constantly receives requests for assistance in that specific field from sister units around the world.[citation needed]

 

Always the first to be deployed, the 1er RPIMa is at the forefront of France's defence. It is constantly on the lookout for new solutions and opportunities and thereby remains faithful to the motto of its SAS (Special Air Service) ancestors, "Who Dares Wins".

Due to some recent storms the Salt Flats were a little wetter than usual. Normally this area is not covered with water. Its usually the most desolate, barren and corrosive place I know. This whole area is just a salty crust that stretches on for miles. Its so flat that you can actually see the curvature of the earth.

I've learned to need the open sky

Well, I'm subject to the natural forces

Home is where my horse is

Manifestation du 5 décembre 2019 (pour la défense des retraites). Plus d'un million de manifestants dans toute la France. A Paris une manifestation gigantesque. Coupée en deux à la hauteur de la place de la République par un barrage et l'obstruction des CRS, avant même que l'énorme manif n'ait réellement commencé... Donc il y avait deux immenses cortèges à Paris, l'un au nord de la place de la République (où se trouvaient des dizaines de milliers de manifestants derrière les banderoles syndicales et politiques, et un autre cortège au sud de la place de la République, où se trouvaient encore des dizaines de milliers de manifestants, sans sono et véhicules syndicaux, mais avec beaucoup de voix et de mots et de jambes pour la défense de nos retraites

December 5, 2019 - Mass strikes and protests in France over pension reform (a disastrous reform driven by Macron and his wealthy friends). More than a million protesters throughout France.

In Paris a gigantic demonstration, cut in two at "Place de la République" by the obstruction of the police... before the march really began ... So there were two huge demos in Paris, one at north of the Republic Square (where there were tens of thousands of protesters behind the union banners), and another part of the demo south of the Republic Square, where were still tens of thousands of protesters, without the sound and the vehicles of the trade unionists, but with a lot of voices and words and shouting in defense of our pensions
