This started as a low-light telephoto shot of a ship at twilight. It is actually the moon in the sky. You know, it just doesn't matter. Hope you like it.
The European skipper is an introduced species in North America. In its native range in Europe and Asia, it is called the Essex Skipper. It was accidentally brought into London, Ontario in Canada in 1910 in a shipment of Timothy grass seeds. The range of the European skipper is expanding, perhaps because its eggs are sometimes transported with hay deliveries.

Quirky Cat Leo is guarding the shipment of cat food that I just got in, as soon as it came in he had too claim it as his, at some point maybe I will be able to unpack it, but I am sure he will help, shot in North Carolina.
Pan Am Portland Switcher 7 pulls a string of Eimskip containers of Poland Spring water out of Yard 8 towards Mountain Junction where it will reverse and shove back to Rigby Yard. This is a relatively new business for Pan Am with containers being loaded at both Portland and Waterville for shipment to Ayer.
It's February 1958 and "Stick Season" is in full swing on a dreary dull day, but the action is anything but boring!
The New York Central yard crew in Carey, Ohio is switching out a cut of cars which will most likely get picked up by the oncoming freight or head to the C&O and AC&Y interchanges. There could be one or two cars headed to Vanlue as the local businesses in town were still getting rail shipments.
The signal system is still in service at this time and the operator in the depot at Carey is controlling the action between Carey and Wharton. There is a siding at Wharton that would undoubtedly see use from time to time despite it being rather short.

"The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones - that kind of thing is going to come to America," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in an interview earlier this month.
You can see why he is the commerce secretary - - -
Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant in China, a major iPhone manufacturer, employs about 200,000 people. This factory produces a significant portion of Apple's iPhone shipments globally.
(This is a long way from "millions and millions").
Apple does in fact use millions and millions of screws each year, (maybe Howard got screws and people mixed up).
Hong Kong International Airport
is the main airport in Hong Kong. It is colloquially known as Chek Lap Kok Airport , being built on the island of Chek Lap Kok by land reclamation, and also to distinguish it from its predecessor, the closed Kai Tak Airport.The airport opened for commercial operations in 1998, replacing Kai Tak, and is an important regional trans-shipment centre, passenger hub and gateway for destinations in Mainland China (with over 40 destinations) and the rest of Asia.
香港國際機場

--BREAKING NEWS--
The Russian government has been completely sealed off from the outside world. New Regime officials have not made any comment on the situation, any ex-government offic.. excuse me.. I’m getting new information as we speak. Ok. We are receiving headcam footage of a raid right now. If you have any children nearby please do not allow them to watch this. Viewer discretion is advised. Stand by… U.S. led, NATO forces are in what appears to be a shipyard, some sort of operation is underway, we are still receiving information on the raid. This is a live feed from Poreč, Croatia. NATO troops are attempting to secure a landing ground for an armored division. Again, this is a live feed of a U.S. led, NATO raid on a shipyard in the port city of Poreč, Croatia. We advise that children are not allowed to watch this footage. Viewer discretion is advised.
[Soldiers are seen stacking up against the side of a house preparing to turn the corner. *multiple gunshots come through the feed before the audio is killed* Two Russian soldiers come into view, both bodies are sprawled out on the ground. A squad of NATO troops secures the building and prepares to move on. Seconds later the feed cuts out.]
We just witnessed a live raid on a Russian controlled port city. NATO troops will be able to sweep across the region once they control the port, it’s their ticket into the eastern part of Europe.
The second build in my little story. Please enjoy the build and the shotty story! I'd love to hear any feedback you have down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

CSX's Clearwater job rolls down the street towards St. Pete, passing in front of the Cleveland Street Post Office.
Lying deep within the shadows, far below the high bluffs that Kansas City's magnificent modern skyscrapers rise tall atop of is the historic, gritty, industrial neighborhood known as "West Bottoms." Characterized uniquely by its large commercialized brick high-rises built over 100 years ago in the early 1900s, the low-lying Bottoms were an industrial-meca back in their heyday; An economic hub within the heart of the American midwest. Situated at the state lines of both Kansas and Missouri and at the confluence of two separate rivers, the area quickly capitalized on the industrial revolution of the railroad industry, establishing a multitude of stockyards, staking the Bottoms as a centralized hub for the distribution of Midwestern Cattle to all parts of the nation. With livestock booming, the movement of slaughterhouses, seed warehouses, furniture stores and tractor factories quickly commenced, setting up shop here in the Bottoms all wanting to own their piece of the pie in this business rich environment. The beginning of the end though to West Bottoms' economic dominance later came about in July of 1951 when record levels of rain fall dumped on the city, bringing with it devastating flood levels causing nearly, in today's money, $11 billion worth of damage, forcing the closure of the area's prized stockyards and leaving with it a mess that this industrial district would never fully recover from. At the corner of St Louis and Mulberry Streets, towering above the rest with the utmost prominence, the Ridenour-Baker Grocery building, circa 1910, this concrete behemoth of a building stood tall in stark contrast to the Bottoms' preceding brick-and-motar style architecture. It was the first wholesale grocery building west of the Mississippi to be located in the path of the railroad, allowing the shipment of goods directly to and from its doorstep. Later construction of Kansas City's new Union Station in a more centralized part of the city shifted the focus of those railway lines away from the Bottoms, brining with it shipping and warehousing logistical woes for the grocer. Heavy economical downfall soon brought with it "The Great Depression" in the early 1930s and like many of its kind, Ridenour-Baker subsequently met its demise a short while later in 1936. Several other companies throughout the years eventually took up business here, most notably Weld Wheel Industries in 1978; Manufacturer of wheels for race cars, Weld Wheels called West Bottoms home for nearly 25 years before outgrowing the space and later abandoning in 2003. Although vacant, their nine forlorn floors of crumbling concrete, shattered glass, and aerosol graffiti artwork still stood tall, looking down at the rest of its brethren, serving those passing through as a depressing reminder to America's long bygone era of industrial strength. However, on May 19th, 2024, nearly 11 months after the snap of this photograph, the once proud walls of the Ridenour-Baker complex that had served Kansas City for so many years was in seconds blown to pieces by the work of thousands of pounds of explosives, simply fading away into memory for all those who knew its existence. This collapse was part of a $500 million on-going gentrification effort to rehabilitate West Bottoms for new housing and retail properties to fit in alongside the many restaurants, craft breweries, art galleries, and haunted house attractions that already reside within the repurposed walls of this old, storied manufacturing and warehouse district.
Captured here, one of Union Pacific's venerable EMD SD70Ms makes some noise as it has an eastbound roll on mixed merchandise freight MFXAS 26, infusing little life into the otherwise stagnant existence of the decrepit building as it heads for the hump at Alton & Southern in East St. Louis beneath dreary spring skies.
A baggage cart is loaded and ready for the next train to stop and make a pickup at the former Western Maryland Railway depot in New Oxford, PA. Sadly, the last scheduled passenger train to stop was in 1942. The Hanover Subdivision has been freight only since then and is likely to remain that way. August 31, 2025.

A surge in grain shipments in late 1998 and early 1999 forced BNSF to pull its remaining GP20s from storage. The majority of them worked the lines in and around the Twin Cities during this time. Here, three have slipped away from their intended duties to handle M-NTWSUP1-17 to Superior. By June 1999, all would be stored off property and sold.
This footpath runs from the sand dunes along the North Norfolk coast through the salt marshes to the village of Thornham, which can be seen in the distance. In past times, Thornham was an important port, and coal was brought by sailing vessel down the coast from Newcastle, while grain was sent in the other direction. Coal was temporarily stored in the red-roofed barn on the left, which is thought to be some 300 years old. The final shipment took place in 1914, and trains then took over, with horse-drawn carts bringing the coal from the station at Hunstanton.
Hello guys, welcome back to another moc post, this is def an improvement from the last post lol. Anyways, this moc took me about a month to make, and it is for the World In Darkness group. Originally this build was going to be apoc (it will be on insta) but Everette and Tobias definitely forced me to make it modern military hahaha. Anyways, thanks so so much to Jan the Creator for helping me get the door just right, and helping me figure out how the brackets would fit in it. I would also like to thank ichoco tirimisu for helping me with the build over all.

*The lone guard outside the weathered, blue building, knew he was an easy target. Because of the shortage of weapons in the Russian ultranationalists held sectors of the Mediterranean, he was forced to use a machete until new weapons shipments arrived. He knew that he could be easily sniped from the surrounding bush from any of the other military factions that the ultranationalists were on unsteady ground with. Yet there he stayed, pacing around in front of the door, the hot Mediterranean weather causing him to sweat and become even more miserable. “I hope the leaders wrap up whatever nesting their having.” He thought to himself, as his superiors had tasked him with guard duty, while they met with other ultranationalist supporters in the nice, air conditioned shack that he was guarding. “I sure hope I get payed..”*
This fierce looking figurehead is believed to be from the barque Saladin wrecked on the coast of Nova Scotia after she was taken over by pirates in a mutiny. The figurehead featured in the mutiny as the pirates attempted to alter it to conceal the identity of their captured vessel.
Captured this striking figure in 2015 while visiting the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Saladin set sail from Valparaiso - a seaport in Chile, on 8 February 1844, carrying a shipment of guano, 70 tons of copper, 13 bars of silver, and about $9000 of gold and silver coins. Saladin never made it to England, where its shipment was expected, instead it was found stranded on 21 May 1844 near Country Harbour, Nova Scotia on the shores of Harbour Island beside the village of Seal Harbour.
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

After coal shipments from Wyoming's Powder River Basin began to explode in the late 70s and beyond, the former CB&Q line through Crawford, Nebraska picked up an enormous amount of traffic. Although one would think of Nebraska as flat, the grade from Crawford to Bellmont was a sustained grade that included a horseshoe curve. Railfan photographers started to show up on a line that was a sleepy secondary route before, and eventually that included me. Three pusher sets of SD40-2s and a fuel tender (a tank car with diesel fuel, tied into the locomotive fuel tanks) were stationed at Crawford to shove trains over the hill. On June 28, 1988, I stepped foot in Crawford for the first time in my life, only to see the classic "Q" depot was soon going to be razed. Looking through an open window I spied this chalk board (no longer used) used to keep track of the units and fuel tenders. One photo captured a bit of nostalgia before it was gone.
Adult female Neotropical Green Anole (Anolis biporcatus). This animal was a stowaway and found in a plant shipment from Central America. Though far away from home and a bit battered and bruised, she ended up in an anole collection of a very passionate reptile keeper in the Netherlands.
The LR 15 (light racer) was a prototype racing star ship and the pride and joy of Hance Estrella, owner and founder of Fedalle Star Works A small subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards. Starting production just before the start of the Clone Wars, Fedalle Star Works was only able to produce 6 of these exorbitantly expensive star ships due to drastic cuts in funding because of the war. Eventually when The war ended and the Empire ordered that Fedalle Star Works be nationalized, Hance Estrella “lost” all 6 of his prized star ships along with a large shipment of military grade hardware to a “rebel raid”. A few years later a rebel cell was using all 6 of the now highly modified LR 15s as a squadron of long range interceptors, one of which was piloted by Leo Estrella, son of Hance. After the end of the galactic Civil War, The New Republic restored the soul surviving LR 15, dubbed the survivor, and returned it to the Estrella family as a thank you and to mark their contributions to defeating the Empire. Leo Estrella continues to fly his LR 15, The survivor, winning racing competitions throughout the galaxy and making a name for his one of a kind starfighter.
This moc was based around the frame from set 76832, I just loved the canted wing design and wanted to build my own model incorporating it. All the accompanying lore was made up by me.
