I had a thought, why not try taking some pictures using my extra wide angle lens as opposed to selling it. This is a pontoon bridge into Cowes Marina
It was a morning for soaring at my local regional park. Most of the American White Pelicans were already airborne when I arrived, and they were doing something I find to be an especially beautiful experience. They were riding the thermals, circling and climbing - so quiet, peaceful, elegant. There were probably 25-30 or more of them as I watched. Very special.

//Begin Log// After the events of Corellia, I now had the painful task of selecting a new unit. Naming my new unit Nexu Platoon, I selected recruits from the 327th Star Corp. I remained in command of Azure Sqaud, but I put my new Sergeant in command of squad 2, henceforth known as Dagger squad. After going threw some rigorous training regiments, I feel Nexu Platoon is ready for our next assignment. I ordered the squad to gear up with Recon gear, and we'll keep training until we receive orders.

After DA3 ... Shortly before DA4 ...
Catland Marines on the march...
Мы выходим на рассвете, над Сахарой дует ветер,
Поднимая нашу песню до небес,
И только пыль под сапогами, с нами Бог и с нами знамя,
И тяжелый карабин наперевес.
Командир у нас хреновый, несмотря на то, что новый,
Только нам на это дело наплевать,
Нам бы выпить, что покрепче, и не больше, и не меньше,
Все равно с какой холерой воевать.
Не беда, что кто-то помер, без него сыграем в покер,
Эту смерть мы как-нибудь переживем,
Есть у каждого в резерве деньги, водка и консервы,
И могилы, занесенные песком.
Говорят, я славный малый, скоро стану генералом,
Ну, а если я не выйду из огня,
От несчастия такого ты найдешь себе другого
И наверное забудешь про меня.
Маслом смажу я "Винчестер", собираюсь честь по чести,
Враг разбит и не оправится вовек,
Я всегда в себе уверен, отступать я не намерен,
Я не кто-нибудь, я - белый человек.
This build is just some pre-game fun for DA4. If you are interested, head over to this group and leave a comment to let the organizers know you are interested...
