Helicopters, like this Pathfinder B3 Eurocopter, are absolutely critical for the Pacific Northwest Research Station's interior Alaska forest inventory project because of limited landing zones and the remoteness of most plots.

This is the first of a series of shots from this amazing sim. After a long paus, I have taken up shooting on location again. With this picture, I revisit an old theme - fantasy. More of this to come, soon.
Exact same setup as Leatherbound. Different props, obviously. My compass and one of my maps. Very little Photoshop touch up work. Mostly resizing and a touch of curves adjustment.
I'm really digging the warm, antique feel lately. I'll have to shake it up and try a cool shot.

Those nasty Asmodeus followers used a poor halfling as an offering to their dark god! How disgusting...
I'm going to quote my wife for a description here. She's an architectural historian, a town planner, and a former empty homes officer at Shelter, so it's fair to say she knows what she's talking about:
"What sort of idiocy takes whole swathes of successful city streets, full of the sorts of homes that people across the country want to live in, forcibly moves the communities out and disperses them, looks to replace them with lower density, lower quality homes that are less successful at building and supporting communities, at great cost and with a net reduction of number of homes and quality of the built environment?
And then doesn't succeed in doing even that. Instead, vast sections of city dead and boarded up for years and years. Homes rotting unnecessarily while housing waiting lists get more and more stretched.
And yet someone, somewhere thought it was a good idea. And then other people agreed and decided to make it happen. These streets only received consent for demolition in summer 2013. I cannot begin to see even a single good argument for it, and cannot understand how anyone could persuade themselves that this is the sensible option.
Ooooh, it makes me mad."
Me too.

This Saturday was our Pathfinder top roping competition. It was hot as heck... I mean 80 degrees in March... plus humidity! YIKES!!
Here is one of the advanced finalists.
50032 Courageous on probably its last passenger working, the Tor Retour. The loco was attached at Exeter after 50031 worked the train from Bristol Temple Meads. 32 led to Barnstaple.

Soldiers prepare a HMMWV for sling load operations during the Pathfinder Course, Feb. 14, 2017, in the Grafenwoehr Training Area. The Pathfinder Course prepares Soldiers to establish day and night landing zones for cargo drops, and provide air traffic control and navigational assistance to rotary and fixed wing aircrafts.
The Space Shuttle Orbiter Pathfinder (honorary Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-098) is a Space Shuttle simulator made of steel and wood. Originally unnamed, the simulator was built at the Marshall Space Flight Center in 1977 for use in activities such as checking roadway clearances, crane capabilities and fits within structures. It was later shipped by barge to the Kennedy Space Center and was used for ground crew testing in the Vehicle Assembly Building, Orbiter Processing Facility, and Shuttle Landing Facility. Pathfinder is approximately the same size, shape and weight of an actual Orbiter. The use of Pathfinder allowed facilities to be tested without requiring the use of the more delicate and expensive Enterprise. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Pathfinder
Before I began my Alabama and Mississippi seminar swing, I got to Huntsville, Alabama early and visited the US Space and Rocket Center. I mean, they had a Saturn V rocket! You can't beat that. ghb624 met me at the museum and gave me some genuine NASA inside dirt. Thanks, Jerry!
