After the drones became autonomous... everything went downhill. An arms race began to create the most technologically advance militaristic robots to defend nations. After the wars began... all was lost. Now, we fight to reclaim our fallen city.
Hey guys! I've been working on this scene for what seems like weeks... and I finally finished editing the picture! More pictures showing alternate views will be up shortly.
A member of the US special Forces along with UN forces during the latter stages of the Outbreak.
As the safe zones were established and secured attempts were made to conduct various room clearing operations in certain buildings that still contain a high concentration of infected, within or just outside the safe zone. These tasks were often given to special forces units who were known to be highly successful in completing these tasks.
‘’The Outbreak’’ sometimes dubbed as ‘’The Apocalypse’’ or ‘’World War Z’’ is a global outbreak of Specimen Z, an experimental virus that has spread around the globe. It spread globally in around 28 hours and caused the collapse of several nations within those hours. Resulting in mass panic and global destruction.
UN forces are fighting against the infected during a massive global zombie outbreak. Consisting of several armies from around the globe united together in accordance with a secretive UN protocol. They cooperated with the total defense against the increase of infected, which resulted in a global conflict against the infected. The UN army is considered to be the largest and most powerful faction seen in the Outbreak series so far.
(Dubbed as the UN Army in the Outbreak videos) They are a faction that has yet to appear in future content, despite that. The UN army already made several appearances in my brickfilms. The most notable was the Zombie Outbreak videos.
Their main job during the Outbreak was to evacuate the civilians out of the infected ''Hot Zone'' areas by combating the infected with various weapons in order to buy time. They were also tasked with maintaining order in and outside the Quarantine Zones as mass panic was still in progress.
This is a concept that might be explored in the future

This is sunrise light on an old car I found in Komarno, Manitoba which is unfortunately no longer there. This was part of a group of five cars with trees growing out of them like I'd never found before or since.

The beautifully majestic yet derelict Cambusnethan House Priory near Motherwell, Scotland.
Captured in September 2021 while exploring the area around Motherwell with my camera. This Gothic-revival country house, built in 1820, is listed on the Buildings at Risk Register. While I was there a member of the "Friends of Cambusnethan Priory" was there raising awareness and funds to try to prevent any further deterioration of this beautiful historic building. Enjoy!

This image of fallen cottonwood leaves in Hunter Canyon, near Moab, Utah reminds me that there is beauty in all natural processes.
I’m captivated by the Japanese concept of Wabi-sabi, which harmonizes wabi, meaning “subdued, austere beauty,” with sabi, signifying “rustic patina.”
Wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles encompass asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of natural objects and the forces of nature.
Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam, for President Herbert Hoover, by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947. Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction on the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule. Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume (when it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened. As the United States developed the Southwest, the Colorado River was seen as a potential source of irrigation water. An initial attempt at diverting the river for irrigation purposes occurred in the late 1890s, when land speculator William Beatty built the Alamo Canal just north of the Mexican border; the canal dipped into Mexico before running to a desolate area Beatty named the Imperial Valley. Though water from the Imperial Canal allowed for the widespread settlement of the valley, the canal proved expensive to maintain. After a catastrophic breach that caused the Colorado River to fill the Salton Sea, the Southern Pacific Railroad spent $3 million in 1906–07 to stabilize the waterway, an amount it hoped in vain would be reimbursed by the Federal Government. Even after the waterway was stabilized, it proved unsatisfactory because of constant disputes with landowners on the Mexican side of the border. As the technology of electric power transmission improved, the Lower Colorado was considered for its hydroelectric-power potential. In 1902, the Edison Electric Company of Los Angeles surveyed the river in the hope of building a 40-foot (12 m) rock dam which could generate 10,000 horsepower (7,500 kW). However, at the time, the limit of transmission of electric power was 80 miles (130 km), and there were few customers (mostly mines) within that limit. Edison allowed land options it held on the river to lapse—including an option for what became the site of Hoover Dam. In the following years, the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), known as the Reclamation Service at the time, also considered the Lower Colorado as the site for a dam. Service chief Arthur Powell Davis proposed using dynamite to collapse the walls of Boulder Canyon, 20 miles (32 km) north of the eventual dam site, into the river. The river would carry off the smaller pieces of debris, and a dam would be built incorporating the remaining rubble. In 1922, after considering it for several years, the Reclamation Service finally rejected the proposal, citing doubts about the unproven technique and questions as to whether it would in fact save money.
Les Oakes reclamation yard in Cheadle. OMG, what a place! Be prepared to take your life in your hands and get extremely grubby. But it's so worth it!

Along with AmRec, the other haulers with tons of stops are Southland, WM, Republic, and Recology.
Should be a fine for nailing signs to trees and leaving them there forever.
The trees themselves are taking care of the problem, though...
As people leave and abandon for whatever reason, nature says I'll have a bit of that and takes over, at this lovely cottage on the Black Isle

Fat is the new gold standard across the galaxy, it's uses are many and well received.
Here at ARF we pride ourselves in how well our livestock is maintained. We fatten them up then just pop them in the extractor, once 'milked' in a safe and humane way, they are returned to the feeding pens and the cycle continues, yep safe and sustainable, no stock killed or harmed XD
This was definitely a feat to overcome with this image, I'm going to post an original untouched version in the comments to show you what I had to work with, maybe I'll even create a blog post about it.
Anyway I had the idea in my head and in the spur of the moment I asked my friend Scott to be my hand model and had him posing his hands around all the trees, no hands were copy and pasted!
The original photo had too many distracting elements in it, the bright sky coming through the trees, the color of the trees were too bright compared to the hands, making the hands not pop out as much to the viewer. I played around with this image a lot and yesterday lost 8 hours of time on it due to my stupidity and accidentally deleting everything I had done on it yesterday so I took it in a new direction and added a red tone to the original green flora, added texture to the trees, and darkened the entire image so that the hands were the story. It also looks really awesome in Black and White which I'll post another time. Enjoy!
On our camping trip to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, we made several stops along the way.
This is the bridge over the Colorado River just west of the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. Page is in the distance. The green area is the Page golf course. The picture is taken through the glass of the Carl Hayden Visitor Center. When I took the photo I did not notice the smudge on the glass. Oh well, maybe I'll get a better photo next time.

The Glen Canyon Bridge or Glen Canyon Dam Bridge is a steel arch bridge in Coconino County, Arizona, carrying U.S. Route 89 across the Colorado River. The bridge was originally built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to facilitate transportation of materials for the Glen Canyon Dam, which lies adjacent to the bridge just 865 feet (264 m) upstream. Carrying two lanes, the bridge rises over 700 feet (210 m) above the river and was the highest arch bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1959.[1]
