US Special Operations Command DHC-8 about to touch down for a fuel stop at Prestwick airport, Ayrshire, Scotland.
My partner's dogs Oski and Lucy associate me with walks, so that every time I visit, they get very excited.
So we don't use the word 'walk' or 'the W word' but instead refer to taking them for a Weetabix, though there are signs already that they've made the connection, leaving us no choice but to change it again.
Maybe I'll be taking them for a honey nut cluster at the weekend if the weather will allow it.
Yes, after just under 20 years of operation of the type on Arran, the end is within touching distance for the remaining 7 indestructible workhorses, simply known as PS's. 20538 rests at arguably one of the most picturesque bus terminus's in the country as it awaits its scheduled departure time back to Brodick.
Obsidian Task Force has now secretly invaded Germany, and are now undergoing an attack on the capitol.

We stumbled by chance on a coast guard rescue operation while visiting Las Teresitas.
Helicopter and boats were searching around a specific spot on the coast.
We checked later and found out that tragically two young swimmers got trapped in a small cave and drowned before help arrived.
Operation Shingle (January 22, 1944), during the Italian Campaign of World War II, was an Allied amphibious landing against Axis forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno, Italy. The operation was commanded by Major General John P. Lucas and was intended to outflank German forces of the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome. The resulting combat is commonly called the Battle of Anzio. (Read the article on wikipedia).
Unfortunately, this is only a very small part of the cemetery.

My last photo of 2024 is of the Golden Switcher locomotives 1660 and 1984 tied up at the yard office in Golden, Colorado. The switcher serves various industries in Golden and Arvada on the Golden Subdivision. BN green units are still running around after a quarter-century of BNSF operation. December 31, 2024.
Operation Plunder was an allied crossing of the River Rhine at Rees, Wesel and the south of the Lippe River by the British Second army and the United state 9th army. Operation varsity was the airborne part of Operation plunder and Operation Archway was a SAS landing that was part of it as well.
The Operation was an overall success for the Allies as they have learned from their mistake of having poorly planned airborne operations like Operation Market Garden.
Not a lot can be said other than that it was another nail hammered into Nazi Germanys coffin.
Here you see Canadian soldiers and British Paratroopers assisting each other.
Dover and Rockaway River RP-2 with the equipment for the next day's Operation Toy Train runs west through Dover, NJ, on NJ Transit's Morris and Essex Line. The train would run the next day over DRRV rails from Rockaway to Phillipsburg, to collect toys for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots.

Les hospices de Beaune (ou hôtel-Dieu de Beaune) sont un hôtel-Dieu ou hospice de style gothique flamboyant avec toiture en tuile vernissée de Bourgogne, fondé au XVe siècle par le chancelier des ducs de Bourgogne Nicolas Rolin et son épouse Guigone de Salins, à Beaune en Bourgogne. Il est un des plus célèbres du monde, tant par sa fastueuse et remarquable architecture traditionnelle bourguignonne que par son prestigieux domaine viticole bourguignon dont la production est historiquement vendue aux enchères pour financer son fonctionnement, sous le nom de vente des hospices de Beaune. Actif jusque dans les années 1960, classé aux monuments historiques depuis 1862, il est à ce jour un musée d'histoire de la médecine et expose entre autres le polyptyque Le Jugement dernier de Rogier van der Weyden.
The Hospices de Beaune (or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune) are a flamboyant Gothic-style hôtel-Dieu or hospice with a glazed Burgundy tile roof, founded in the 15th century by the Chancellor of the Dukes of Burgundy Nicolas Rolin and his wife Guigone de Salins, in Beaune in Burgundy. It is one of the most famous in the world, both for its sumptuous and remarkable traditional Burgundian architecture and for its prestigious Burgundian wine estate, the production of which is historically sold at auction to finance its operation, under the name of the Beaune Hospices sale. Active until the 1960s, listed as a historic monument since 1862, it is now a museum of the history of medicine and exhibits, among other things, the polyptych The Last Judgment by Rogier van der Weyden.
Abandoned sometime ago, was used by an artist for a "1,000 shadows" project - seems to have gone downhill since then.

Operation Barbarossa started on June 22nd, 1941, with the Germans rapidly invading the Soviet Union and decimating Soviet forces in virtually every battle. Hitler's plan was to conquer Eastern Europe for future German colonization called "Lebensraum". Ukraine was especially desired since at the time it was the breadbasket of Europe. When the Germans were conquering the Soviet Union, the Ukrainians and other peoples welcomed them as heroes because of the fact they "freed" them from communist oppression. The Holodomor was fresh in the average Ukrainians memory which was an artificial famine that killed millions and they were still resentful towards Stalin.
Two groups that wanted to take advantage of this moment was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) which was into Italian fascism, was led by Andriy Melnik and the younger more violent OUN-B, was National Socialist which was led by Stepan Bandera. They originally existed because they were angry that Poland was "occupying" the province of Galicia which is claimed by both Poles and Ukrainians (even to this day).
However, the Ukrainians would learn that the Nazis were replacing one form of oppression with another. Hitler hated Slavic peoples and wanted them enslaved, "transferred" (possibly to Siberia) or at worst exterminated. When the OUN declared an independent Ukrainian state, that was shut down as quickly as possible. The Nazis committed atrocities against the Ukrainians which soon led to the growth of more partisan groups and led to some joining the Soviet army by the time they started "liberating" it from the Nazis.
In a last ditch effort, the Nazis freed imprisoned Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera to inspire the Ukrainians but that ultimately failed. Even during his imprisonment all the OUN-B did was mass murder Poles in the provinces of Galicia and Volhynia. Today he's seen as a controversial figure as he is popular in Western Ukraine which is full of Catholic Ukrainians and hated in Eastern Ukraine which is full of Orthodox Russians.

"During the EU attacks on the Warsaw Pact, Belarus was the last remaining resistance before a full scale EU invasion on the Russian mainland could take place. After losing multiple Shock Trooper Battalions during attacks on Minsk, EU Commandos were deployed behind enemy lines in order to sabotage the Warsaw Pact communication.'

A big hornet nest on the tall trees has been destroyed. Six people from Public Defense Department (JPA) called upon by the villagers came with a long prop, cotton waste and gasoline. About 15 minutes later, they start the flame and bring it up to burn the nest. Then, a colony of hornet (Giant Wasps) has turned to ash.
Can you imagine what the lost to the nature and macro lovers like us !

The spread wings of the Crested Caracara provide a subframe for the second Caracara at the top of a cell tower they have frequented over the past week or so. Before they move on, I will take as many pictures as possible. By the way, I’m not really sure if this counts as “subframing.”
Almost done for the season! All the volunteers and most of the staff are finished for this year. Just the shippers remain, but have a break right now until January 7th. The remainder of all the shoebox gifts are destined for West Africa. We will start to ship on January 9th. I will be part of this, along with my son.
Happy New Year, my Flickr friends! I will be out of the country on a road trip until January 6th.
Hard to tell here, but the light is extremely low in this very cool old stone recreation center, so hard to get descent photos for me.
Annual Operation Wildlife Eagle Days at Wyandotte County Park. Wonderful organization that takes in injured and abandoned wildlife and nurses them back to health then releases back into the wild. Some that can't be released participate as educational ambassadors for their species.
In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter
