These old hulks on the River Forth have been stranded on the island to help stabilise the banks. Great early morning light on a frosty morning

#Texture
I even massacred one of these big blue IKEA bags in search of an interesting-looking texture, do you believe it? Well, these bags are sturdy, aren't they, and that small hole I clumsily cut into the blue fabric won't impair its carrying abilities. These bags are strong as Hulk, but not as green, and since the fabric's texture didn't look that interesting in close-up either, I continued my search, until this morning I noticed an old green, pretty battered clothes' peg that has long retired as a laundry helper and keeps the potato crisp (a guilty pleasure) bag closed so I won't eat them all at once ;) Not that I'd eat potato crisps for breakfast ;) This peg has plenty of texture, original texture in the form of the protruding rhombic pattern (for better grip), and acquired textures from a lifetime of being squeezed. This makes this little clothes' peg (that might as well be as old as me) a Hulk in its own right – and it's Hulk-green on top of that ;)
What you see is a pretty small part of the peg's grip, a 5x5 mm / 0,19x0,19 inch section. I've illuminated the clothes' peg from behind and photographed it with the cheap little 30 mm macro lens because that gives me more magnification (2.5x) than the regular 1:1 of my 60 mm macro lens. It's also a single image shot in High-res mode (so I would be able to crop out the patterned part and still have a big enough file). Processed in DXO PL6, Color Efex, Analog Efex (Film type Bolton 1), and Lightroom (clarity, contrast, colour adjustments).
I'm busy today and will catch up with you tonight! HMM, Everyone!
Hulk:Last year Cupid shoot me with Arrow, Hulk Marry Goldigger, she take half my money,,, HULK SMASH STUPID CUPID!!
Cupid: Nooo Please I'm Sorry I just shoot the arrows I didn't know she was a skank!
Lying forgotten and in a state of decay, this rotting hulk lies beside the waters she one graced - a forgotten memorial to Scottish fishing
Just a little fun for me.
I like clouds. And purple and green are some of my favorite colors.
And the missus suggested the Hulk title. :)
Enjoy.
A view of one of the more photogenic boat hulks at Dungeness. I was going to go for mono but I like the colour of the nets and the rope.

We specifically went to Dungeness to capture some moody skies as that's what the weather forecast said but against all the odds the sun decided to shine which it hasn't done for a good few days. Might be worth a look in large if you have the time as the sun made for some pretty good definition in the clinker.

This image was taken at the Purton Hulks or Purton Ships Graveyard, where there are over 80 abandoned boats and ships deliberately beached beside the River Severn near Purton in Gloucestershire, England. This was originally done to reinforce the river banks, mostly in the 1950s and so the ships are now in a state of considerable decay, and quite interesting to photograph. Purton is now the largest ship graveyard in mainland Britain.
… this Halifax has seen better days…
On April 27th 1942, 11 Halifax bombers of No 35 Squadron flew out RAF Kinloss, Scotland, on a high risk mission to sink the German battleship Tirpitz in Norway, at the very limit of their operational range.
The mission was a failure. Hit several times by anti aircraft fire during its bombing run and with engines on fire, W1048, a brand new aircraft at the time, belly-landed on nearby frozen lake Hoklingen near Trondheim. Her crew managed to escape the aircraft and the lake, 5 out of 6 made it to neutral Sweden and later repatriation; the sixth - injured - member, Sgt Stevens, was captured by German forces.
12 hours later, W1048 sank to the bottom of the lake through the ice, was reported as missing in action and never heard of again for nearly 30 years.
In 1972, it was relocated, salvaged and repatriated to Britain as a training exercise by 71st Maintenance Unit, RAF. Because of damage sustained during salvage, full restoration was not an option, and it now ‘lays in state’ – partially restored – in the Bomber Hall of RAF Museum Hendon.
..during low tide I had the possibility to get a closer relationship to those beautifully green haired rocks. I'm afraid you will see them from time to time :)

Thanks for visits and faves. Written comments highly appreciated and will be responded a.s.a.p :)
Cheers

The Harriett is a barge that has been beached (hulked) at the banks of the River Severn on 24th March 1956. Along with other vessels being beached in the 20th century the intention was to strengthen the nearby eroding banks of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal.
Just thought I'd let you know that this Sunset capture is not a HDR but processed from a single RAW file.
Updated my Hulk figure a bit more. I added torso muscles as well as arm muscles. I also added a ripped shirt and put a green wash on his hair.
Now for an MCSG update: I know I've only had a short run on the Hulk series and the last part ended with a cliffhanger of sorts, I've decided to drop the role. I did what I wanted with the role and I feel like I don't need to do much more. Obviously the question is, "did Banner die?" and that can be simply answered with an "I don't know." It all depends on what the next writer decides to do if anyone so chooses to pick up the role. There is a myriad of places you could take the story and I urge anyone with an interest in story telling (especially with Hulk) to app for the role. :D
A random Stan Lee moment, found in a Central Valley junkyard earlier this week, completely inundated by smoke from the Camp Fire. It was the smokiest night of shooting I've ever experienced. Night, 38-seconds of full moon with a little warm white flashlight.
A week ago this was a shiny red Case combine.I happened to drive by this farm last month when the farmer was washing it,getting it "nice and pretty" for this harvest season.That all changed when soybean residue built up around the engine and caught on fire.The operator never knew it was on fire till the engine died.Thankfully,no one was hurt,and 2 days later they had a new shiny red Case completing the field...
Combine fires are all too common.I hear of one in my area about every other year.We have never had one,but once our combine started a field fire which burned about 5 acres before it was put out.It is almost always the result of plant debris building up around the engine-windy and hot days are the most dangerous.
Farming itself is rated as the 4th most dangerous occupation in the US,well ahead of policeman and fireman(fishing is number 1).I have seen some accidents and the results of some accidents, that I will never forget.I had a very close friend die from one years ago.It has made me much more careful,but some accidents are hard to avoid.Be careful out there!
The cover for my Hulk story. Pretty basic, but I like the look of it. It's not based on any existing cover, but after making this I saw a couple of covers that looked somewhat like this one... So, whatever.
Also, stole the top left thing from Nexus. So yeah. :D
So I absolutely love the Hulk big-fig. It's very well designed and looks very Hulk-ish. The only problem I have with it is that it's too Hulkish. It's so different looking from a normal Lego figure that it feels out of place. Also it's a pain to photograph story builds with it. So, I've refrained from using it in my Hulk stories for that very reason. So, I've come up with a solution to that problem.
I give you - (drum role) - Slightly-bigger-fig Hulk. This figure is only about one stud bigger than a normal Lego figure and I like that. The arms are extended with the technique (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) Dylan (TheMooseFigs) came up with and the legs are extended by half of a tile piece place in between the legs and torso.
So, let me know what you think of this figure. :D
(Black figure only there to show scale)
